Could make an interesting film, but I don't see it working. Mostly because isn't that what the prequels were all about? IE the inner conflict Anakin Skywalker has?

Also, even if you do have a conflicted character, you still need to have a greater evil then that. An hour and a half hour film about a guy fighting an internal philosophical battle may be great, but it wouldn't really be Star Wars, would it? Where would be the space battles? The Jedi vs. Sith light-saber fights?
