Wedge: "Great shot Janson!"
Brings a smile to my face every time. I like how he says "shot."

Waves hand; You don't want to sell me bone picks..... You want to go back and rethink those posts.
What are you talking about? I don't see anything misspelled...You got the quote right, but I had to correct the spelling of the name .
I do enjoy the whole conversation in Episode IV with Obi-Wan using Mind Trick. It's funny, and shows the power of the Force, really, for the first time in the movie. Classic scene.
"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
it's "good shot, Janson", not "great shot, Janson."You got the quote right, but I had to correct the spelling of the name .

Vader (ESB) "I'm altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further."
Sorry guys for the late entry but I have been ill for a while.
Anyway, here's my favorite because you can insert the word "Pants"
to replace "Deal" and it still makes sense, funnier too.
Anternate: "I'm altering the pants, pray I don't alter them any further."
Yoda always said there would be days like this.
There is no actual (solid) Truth to this question it's a truth based on opinion.Let us examine this question. Why is it hard to give a straight answer? Because of the ambiguity of what, exactly, you are referring to by the word "Anakin."
First, consider the person in question. When he was born, his mother named him "Anakin." He was a slave. He was "rescued" by Qui-gon's bet. He became a jedi. He later turned to the dark side, and in doing so had his name changed to "Darth Vader."
Now despite these changes in "occupation" if you will, or even in name, the same person exists. He has the same body, the same memories, a continuous uninterrupted experience of life, etc.
The actual truth is, in turning to the dark side, this person has become evil.
Now consider the question, "Is Anakin evil."
If "Anakin" is defined as "This person before his name was changed to 'Darth Vader,'" the answer is, of course not.
If "Anakin" is defined as "This person's real name, no matter what he's called now," then yes, once he turned to the dark side, he is evil.
Notice that the actual truth is the same regardless: This person has turned to the dark side, and is evil.
The truth is solid.
What differs is what, exactly, one refers to as "Anakin." It is still opinion/personal preference that varies, not the actual fact. Expressing the same facts in different words does not change those facts. No matter how you say it, the fact remains that this person was good before he joined the dark side, and evil after.
It is crucial to be able to distinguish between fact and opinion.
For example, suppose a friend repaints their house a new color. The neighbor on one side thinks it's an improvement. The neighbor on the other side thinks it looks worse. But no matter what they think of it, the fact is still absolutely the same, for all people in all circumstances, that our friend's house is a different color now than it was before. (Yes, it is even true for the blind/colorblind: just because they don't know it or can't recognize it doesn't change the fact.)
And it is still absolutely true, for all people in all circumstances, that one of our friend's neighbors thinks the house looks better with the new color, and the other neighbor thinks it looks worse.
No matter how you express it, or even if you deny it, the truth remains the same, if you agree with it or not, if you like it or not, even if you know it or not. It is still impossible to have it otherwise.
Was/is Anakin/Darth Vader evil. I think the answer to this is no. Did he do evil things yes, did he eventually do a good thing, yes.
What makes a person evil, doing evil things or doing evil things without remorse.
Is palpatine evil, I'd say yes. He has no care for the people he kills or causes to be killed. No remorse and no redeeming qualities.
Now I think we should get of the truth solid sillyness.
Would I get killed if crossing the road with a bus coming? No.
Would I be able to say to a police officer I didn't rob that store and have him believe me? Yes I could.
You see it all depends on our point of view.....
Obi-Wan: "If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman"
Anakin: " I thought I already did"
Obi-Wan: "Only in your mind, my very young apprentice"
"Great warrior? Wars not make one great!"
"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence, never for attack."
"Patience. For the Jedi it is time to eat as well"
ah classic Yoda...
Umm when 900 years old you reach; look as good, you will not.... humm.
Classic
Put away your weapon, I mean you no harm.
Areeeheehee.
Yoda, you seek yoda.
How you get so big eating food of this kind......
Obi-Wan: "If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman"
Anakin: " I thought I already did"
Obi-Wan: "Only in your mind, my very young apprentice"
It's "Away put your weapon......."
