Wellllll if your going to get all philosophical and everything technically you dont have innocence you simply have a state.
People are looking at the force in "GOOD / EVIL" but in reality your just following the dogma. If you want to get into the argument lets look at what the "light" side is and the "dark" side in its basic elements.
The Light side is all about control, precision... AKA ORDER.
The Darkside is about emotion and passion... AKA CHAOS.
What Anakin did, and then latterly Luke was exactly balance.
These two people embraced BOTH sides of the coin.. first they chose order with its medetation its thought and its considered approach to things - then both where drawn through strong emotion into the dark side - the chaos that emotion brings that clouds judgement, then back to order again.
People characterise Chaos as evil simply becuase the dont understand that without chaos there would be little really to live for...
The Ultimate balance of the force is NOT the Jedi way.. NOR is it the Sith. the actuall balance is the combination of the two - the ability to be calm and collected, and precise when needed - then to go in to a chaotic rage when required and back again.
Yoda was no different to the Emporer - they Both were blinded by their "Points of View"
I'm looking forward to the point in the books (or the series to come???) where they finally start training a "force" order that embraces both sides of the coin.
