Never noticed how eerily similar they are.

Arthas had less reasons to go evil. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, an heir to an entire kingdom with everything gifted to him. Anakin grew up poor, enslaved, then had to learn how to use space magic with a weightless space sword and becoming a general at age 19. If anything Anakins fall is more believable considering the weight of entire planets and systems depended on him. Arthas could not even stop 1 kingdom from falling.

Never got to see the impact of the clone wars on society in those movies

That’s because corusant was the only republic planet we really saw. Of course the capital planet suffered the least.

ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG.

>>715245434
I don't think I've ever seen Arthurian lore played straight in a video game, ever. It's always parodies or subversive shit like this.

>>715246230
I'm sure there are old games like that, something from 90s or earlier.

Arthas did everything wrong

>>715245952
even the book managed to show its impact on Coruscant with only a few pages
lord of the rings managed to show how fucked rohan was in very short time
there's no excuse for the prequels failing in this regard

woah turns out this type of character is actually overdone and is for faggots just like you OP

>weightless space sword
Interestingly for the first movie George Lucas insisted that the actors always have two hands on the lightsabre, saying that the energy blade gave it a great deal of weight

Obviously they threw away the idea later on, but I'd like to see the different choreography they would have had had they stuck to the idea of space zweihanders

>>715247146
They fought more like actual knights in the first movie. Battle choreography would have been slower but more personal.
