    Hey guys, just been browsing through an old hard drive and came upon my dissertation from 2010:

    America's Fall to the Dark Side: Exploring the American Empire through the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.

    Thought it might be nice to share it here. Apologies if there are mistakes, I exported it as a PDF from a different program the piece was written in so it might have gone a bit dodgy!

    Anyway, I think it should be attached.

    Just one thing . . . I do not believe Anakin lost his humanity when he became Vader. Despite the armor and loss of limbs, he was as human as ever. Possessing one's humanity is not always about compassion and goodness. Sometimes, it's about being a monster.

    I can't blame him for doing that.

    Also in Rebels Vader still feels for Ashoka so he hasn't gone all the way, and killing her could be the catalyst as to why he's so cold by R1/ANH .

    I'm not exactly sure of the bit you refer to but I likely used the term to mean the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence.
