Do people have a choice really do they when they grow up in poverty or torn up houses because of systemic issues that have nothing to do with any choosing of their own let's see still or don't survive that's like choosing between whammy or double whammy unless there's a good option it ain't a f****** choice

I'm talking about murderers, sadists and cannibals. Bundy and Dahmer were never poor, but they were pretty evil. Bundy literally got off on killing. You're conflating evil with mere criminal activity. Even the law can distinguish between theft versus bodily harm.

Also, he was sort of set on fire -- that's something Lucas had in his background even before the prequels, I know that much.

Prodigal Son did a wonderful job of showing a charming, friendly, smart man who was still evil.
