      @@Jacob-yg7lz Yeah, but as a benevolent dictator, my plan would be this: On every major decision about what action to take or what law to make, every adult citizen of the country age 28 and over (people younger than 28 are too immature and uninformed to vote IMO) would be legally required----as in, mandatory or you go to jail----to participate in a secure nationwide online poll, and be required to choose between 2-3 choices of what kind of law to enact/action to take. And in the final tally, whichever choice had the *majority* of votes, that would be the action my dictatorship takes.
      So you see, it would only be a dictatorship in so far as threatening people (who fit the age criteria) with jailtime if they don't vote on the issues. But past that, it would be a system of government that caters directly to the majority.

    Actually, Anakin was talking about what he has experienced. The way he has learned from the Jedi... someone wise... the members of the council, Yoda... his master Obi-Wan and even Padmé who decided to take the situations on her own hands when the senate didn't do much about the crisis on Naboo. He has lived doing what it is told to him. Yes, Master all the time. He is not very clever in politics (even said to obiwan he's not interested when they were guarding Padmé at her apartment.) but is aware of how things have gone... is not like he supports dictatorship I believe he just said that to tease Padmé, he knows her views.

      I never found it difficult to get on board with at all. It's a lovely, very sweet romantic tale of forbidden love, and the writing, dialogue and especially the acting are all perfect! I mean, Natalie didn't miss a single beat in all three films, did she? No wonder she won an Oscar later in her career.
      To me, they have much better chemistry than Han and Leia, and their romance is what makes the prequels so emotionally satisfying!

      No, if it's truly benevolent no innocents will get killed. The reason it's theoretical only is because a truly benevolent dictatorship can only last as long as the dictator remains benevolent. As soon as he dies and is replaced, or becomes corrupted, it ends.

    The interesting thing people forget about anakin is that he NEVER believed in the republic or democracy: only the Jedi and the Force.
    Why wouldnt he? The republic failed to save him and his mother from slavery; but the Jedi did, it was their strength that set him free.
    Anakin only ever saw the concept of representative governance as apathetic, corruptable, and greedy. Seeing those traits worm their way into the beaurocratic Jedi council likely pushed him farther into Palpatine's evil grasp.
