Comment on Darth Vader was NOT a bad person

I don’t agree with the jealous council not giving him what he deserved claim. Anakin was exceptionally powerful and talented but that alone doesn’t make one eligible. I’m not big into Star Wars lore like some people but I can’t imagine getting on the council is just a Jedi powers skill test and that’s it.
It’s similar to the thing with Tai Lung thinking he deserved to be proclaimed the Dragon Warrior. He was incredibly powerful and skilled but was also the type to become a villain for being denied the greatness he felt he deserved. Oogway saw that in him, and his reaction to being denied proved that he didn’t deserve it, because there was more to it than just being really skilled and powerful.
