/sw/ - Star Wars

And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.
That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.

Here is the full excerpt 
You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader's blood. You remember the furnace of Vader's fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth—and there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.
That it was all you. Is you. Only you.
You did it. You killed her.
You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were only thinking about yourself... it is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith—because now your self is all you will ever have.

Before the grand Sith-storm:
Jedi order sweeps galaxy for Force-sensitives, who mostly end up not reproducing.
It drives  the whole “light side (except-there’s-only-Force) / Dark Side” tug-o-war.
The nu-Sith edgelords actually worth a damn tend to be their students turned to “heresy”.
The last (but not least: remember those “voices screaming in unison”? It reflects in the Force!) problem: the greatest organization of Force users is a bunch of arrogant, self-righteous mind controlling assassins… which probably affected the common attitudes toward them and Force users in general. The second greatest group of visible Force users are mostly ranting bloodthirsty lunatics. The likes of Revan don’t pop up in every other generation, after all.
After Anakin’s misadventures:
The Jedi order is destroyed. The surviving Jedi are those who managed to blend in, they remember and can teach techniques, but cannot possibly see the traditional Jedi hubris as desirable or even sane.
Most “Sith” emo-butchers are destroyed as well.
The most famous and respected Force user (and also Anakin’s descendant) now (after facing both “certain point of view” and Palpatine) without a good reason won’t trust followers of either tradition any farther than he can throw one.
So… is there a reason to think Anakin did not fulfill his supposed destiny of “restoring balance of the Force” mostly right (if not perfectly)?

I always felt it worked even when Luke's new order was reasonably sized, since it openly rejected a lot of the traditions that were traditions for their own sake and forced a lot to be learned from scratch.
