""Moral Ambiguity in a Black-and-White Universe.""
Ordinary moral situations can leave individuals ill-prepared for difficult decisions that shape moral character. Moral ambiguity appears after moral tragedy when no choice yields good results, amid uncertain consequences, intractable dilemmas, and cultural moral difference. Characters such as Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Anakin Skywalker exhibit ambiguity when fundamentally good people must overcome egoistic tendencies. Count Dooku manipulates others by feigning goodness. The series Andor situates conflict in social and political struggle without Jedi or Sith powers and portrays Imperial agents as three-dimensional figures to complicate sympathy and illuminate authoritarian threats.
