I don't blame Darth for half those things. He was serving the Emperor, so the blame should fall with him.
I was thinking about Darth yesterday, was watching some star wars. Is it fair to say he was, after all, the chosen one?
I know he kind of fucked up his path for some 25 years, and his kid looked like the chosen one when all was said and done. But, Darth killed the Emperor. Redeemed?

He brought balance to the force. He killed every skilled force user on both sides. That's way more balanced than 100 light side users and 2 dark.

That is true. I wondered why Yoda and crew figured killing the Sith would bring balance. If anything it would do the opposite.

Definitely. In the end he killed the Emperor and brought balance to the force as was prophesied. A little late for the rest of the Jedi, obviously. But prophesy is fickle like that.
The most interesting thing about the expansion from three to six films was the realisation that the films I'd thought were all about Luke Skywalker actually weren't at all. They were the second half of a set of six films about Anakin Skywalker's fall and redemption.

That's exactly the realization I was having last night, it's awesome
