I don't quite know what you are talking about here. In RotS, Anakin turns on the "evil" switch right after the scene with Sheev and Mace. He goes around mean mugging and slaughtering kids.

Anakin doesn't show great anger, he shows a great ability to whine. He isn't Luke at the end of RotJ trying to protect his sister, he is Luke in Star Wars whining, whining and more whining.

And the OT did say Anakin was a good man, a great pilot and Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan looks back on him fondly.

He doesn't say that. He says he was a good friend, not a good man. Anakin going evil isn't backtracking. He shows anger all the time. Whining or not, it doesn't change that.

EDIT: My mistake. He does say he was a good man. But for all intents and purposes Obi-Wan saw him as a good man because he was to him. Obi-Wan didn't know about the bad things Anakin had done. Anakin fought next to Obi-Wan in the clone wars. He saved his life many times. They were friends. He saw him as a good man.

Why would Palpatine know what a Sith if he isn't a Sith? They have been gone for a very long time (over a thousand years), and any knowledge of them belongs to the Jedi.

I don't know how that contradicts what I said. The jedi would have no reason to keep that from the senate.

The effects of the war were clear in the OT, as this small band of Rebels are forced to movie to the outer reaches of the galaxy to keep their war going. Living on Hoth didn't look like a picnic. Look at what happened to the Ewoks because the Empire decided to building a Death Star near their home. The Stormtroopers land on Tatooine and murder the Jawas and all Luke's family, just because. Look at how the Empire takes over Bespin.

That's no more an effect on the people than what we see effect the characters with the war, particularly with how the jedi and the republic compromise their morals. The point was that we don't see the war effect the people. We see it effect the main characters and where they are, just like in the prequels.

Killing Grievous would not end the war, because all the leaders of the Separatist are somewhere else.

Grevious was the leader of the droid army. The jedi believed that killing him would end the war. It was said a few times.

Obi-Wan leaving makes little sense, because it is clear plot convenience. Heck, the exist of Grievous is a plot convenience. He exist only to move Anakin.

It's not a convenience because that was the reason Palpatine had Grevious in the first place. It was to keep Obi-Wan busy so he could manipulate and push Anakin more.

There is no "view of the Force". They see things through the Force. That would including sensing how someone else feels.

Yoda says that the dark side clouds everything. That's what I meant. I'm sorry for the cnfusion.

The rest of this is really odd. You should add context to your points. Like the blaster thing and attacking Grievous when that is what Obi-Wan showed up to do.

The blaster reference was something that he complained about.

Again, I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

The guy takes issue with Anakin being too important and that death star should be more focused on or something like that.

It makes it bad to him, which is the point no?

It wasn't. A lot of his statements aren't true. The static character thing for example. He may think they're static, but others don't. That's his opinion and he states it like a fact. Or as another example, the Anakin backtracking thing. They don't backtrack because taking revenge doesn't automatically make someone pure evil. It can lead to it though.

God bless you! God bless everyone!
