Good vs. Bad

The boys were Star Wars characters for Halloween this year.  Nathan chose Captain Rex of the Clone Wars series, and Evan chose DARTH VADER.  Though I had thought about it myself, Nathan actually raised the question one night after Evan had donned his cape and mask again: "Evan, why do you like Darth Vader, anyway?"  Evan: "Because he's COOL!"  Nathan: "No he's not! He's evil.  He's a bad, foolish person!  He chose the dark side. That's not cool."  Evan: "Yes he is.  He's really Anakin and he's still good at the end, anyway." 
I'm just praying this is not a preview of the paths my sons choose in life! We'll work on that.
