the thing about anakin skywalker is that i think his character is one that actively eschews nuance, and i don't mean that in a bad way, and inasmuch as i think any kind of character interpretation is better than another, i actually encourage people to view him without nuance (which is why i heartily disagree with lucas's and stover's characterizations of him of "he makes bad decisions, as any of us could, but he's not a bad person; his fall is his fault but not the result of any innate evil"). partly because star wars deals with archetypes and not characters, partly because this is actually an extremely rare situation for a character to be in, it makes sense for people to be doing anakin wrong, but the usual call for nuance just does not work. the atrocities anakin commits are so out there that you can can either believe that his fall was not his fault or you can believe he's evil. what nuance calls for--holding both in your mind simultaneously--would and does work for the vast majority of villains, yes, & would and does work for villains who commit one crime equivalent to anakin's worst moments. but not for anakin.
