No, it's getting much worse. I've exited the debate because I can't intellectualise movies in quite the same way as some of these guys. Bearing in mind the quotes are from a music forum
"...Are you implying that the
weltanschauung in the "new trilogy" isn't manichean? Considering the fact that Vader isn't a manichean character I think it all depends on Palpatine's beginnings. Did he actually
become a bad guy or was he born a bad guy? If I'm not mistaken he
became a bad guy, he switched sides, didn't he? What was the reason for that switch? His own choice or the Force (i.e. pure evil as an outside force = manichean)? And do the movies offer hints of an answer? I'm afraid I can't remember the details"
