Re: Steve / Steve / Anakin / Shuri / Tahani / Eric / and etc.

I have been learning a LOT about Anakin as he trains Rey because he has become a little (not a ton because it's still Anakin and "self-aware" isn't exactly his strong suit) more introspective. He thought he knew how the beats in the story go because of Tahiri, Ben, Jaina, and Anakin in various versions over the years and Rey and Kylo Ren have him shaken up.

And Luke. He'd kind of like to kick Luke just a bit.

He was so used to cruising on the idea that while bad things would happen and there didn't seem to be a way for him to stop it (Anakin's death, Mara's death, Jacen's fall), it all worked out okay. With Rey's story, he has no idea and I think that's making him work harder to prepare her for whatever he can think of. He's having to remember how to think like the Dark Side in order to get her to defend from it after spend a good decade ignoring that part of his past.

So I would *like* for him to be able to past along the power and the allure of the Dark Side without it getting into two-dimensional scare tactics, but I don't think I'm a good enough writer to accomplish it.
