Neither side was really complete because part of their emotional range was suppressed and while the Jedi had good intentions he was pushed into a situation that very few (if any) people could deal with I think. The Good guys wouldn't let him have love and then piled distrust upon him so his career was also suffering and eventually he cracked under the strain. Vader is actually a very tragic figure. He made the wrong choices while under great emotional strain. I'd wager if something like his situation was a real life situation (as far as the emotional strain he was under) and someone snapped the lawyer (for the defendant) would claim temporary insanity made his client do it.

Stupid Question No. 6,789,435,218:
If "love" is forbidden to Jedi, how on earth do those bozos expect the mitichlorians (sp?) to increase throughout the population to make MORE Jedi? This ain't like the Priesthood. I mean, no WONDER the Jedi fell! Patently, the talent, the Force, etc., is INHERITED, that's the whole Luke storyline. So, duh, eh?
