>Only a sith deals in absolutes what did he mean by this?

im still trying to work it out after all these years

he was subtly telling anakin that he's a sith too, but anakin didn't pick up on it, it highlights the tragedy of the final fight.

That very statement is an absolute.

>Only a sith deals in absolute M A D M A N

what did he mean by this?

>>64676183
that they're dictators

you try coming up with cogent philosophical speeches when your country is falling apart and your friend has just killed a bunch of kids. Oh and you're fighting him in a dangerous environment.

George Lucas is the David Mamet of cinema.

so why did obi wan have to do what he must?

>It's a "stupid neckbeards assume there's a logical contradiction in a multi-million dollar movie script instead of assuming the mistake is in their interpretation of the script" thread

There's a difference between dealing in absolutes and speaking in absolutes you morons.

He was at a loss for words, he had lost al hope, and he saw that Anakin saw morality as black and white.

And only a Sith would dismiss the viewpoints of others and categorise everyone into black and white catagories

w-what does 'dealing in absolutes' mean ?

Damn that's actually a really good point

>>64676183
Trying to vilify anakin as being a fundamentalist when the jedi are themselves, obiwan is the biggest liar and hypocrite.

>>64676183
It's not hard to understand.


Only people who don't evaluate a situation carefully and thoroughly, those who don't compromise when necessary, are evil and blind.

>>64676844
No actually. Obi wan is expressing a point of view (That siths only fo this; jedis do that) which is what he is suggesting siths do. There is a contradiction and the anon you posted is just being a rhetorical weasel.

>>64676183
It means that the Sith don't believe in science, it's always 100% certainty. Jedi on the other hand are more rational with their 99.9999% outlook.
