No offense but u can’t exactly hold Anakin up as some kind of beacon of virtue for turning back to the light side after 20 years of doing the Emperor’s dirty work and then act like he’s some heartless dick who would be pissed or exasperated or unempathetic towards his grandson. That’s not how it works. The thing that made Luke such a good fucking person in the OT was his willingness to look for the good and human things in Vader and value those things higher than the choices he’d made. If Anakin is gonna be in the Force-afterlife cheering for Rey to cut off kyle ron’s head and not giving a good goddamn about the blatant victimization that Ben went through, which differed from Anakin’s own manipulation primarily in that it was MORE invasive and started even younger, and thinking it’s worthless that Ben still feels so strongly a pull towards the light side, then it’s completely fucking meaningless that he killed the Emperor and died in Luke’s arms. Anakin did not murder younglings, (to his knowledge) strangle his pregnant wife, and cut off his son’s hand on top of everything he did offscreen between 3 and 4 in order to have some sort of asshole moral superiority complex over his traumatized grandson who can barely have a conversation without an emotional breakdown, much less do True Coldblooded Evil. If you think Anakin would be anything less than fucking heartbroken over Kylo Ren, you really, really suck at star wars.
