I don't hate any of them. They aren't real so how can I hate what doesn't exist.

Seriously? Of course I don't hate them literally. I hate them the same way I hate God and Satan, as ideas, as characters, as motifs.

You think bad ideas in fiction don't lead to bad ideas in reality? Explain L Ron Hubbard and Scientology.

No, I don't hate Obi Wan or Darth Vader as literally being real. I do hate how our media markets simplistic solutions "good vs evil" and sells everything based on our fears and selfishness.

As a historical movie in Hollywood history, as I said, it was put together quite masterfully. But, the motif of "forgiving" a dictator, which Vader was, abhors me.
