Less so contempt more so general annoyance, loose wet sand fucks up my balance too much and is kinda in the same region as wetlands in my opinion. Also Anakin didn't commit hate crimes, he is simply an aggressive negotiator he does commit war crimes though.

I would argue that the purge of the Jedi Temple falls more on the line of hate crime than war crime. The Clone Wars are the public war between the Republic and CIS, and a quieter religious war between the Jedi Order and the Sith, both of which fit the legal definition of “religion”. Crimes committed by agents of the Republic or CIS would most likely be war crimes. Order 66 and the burning of the Temple are a grey area. Anakin/Vader never served an agent of the CIS, he pledged his fealty to the Sith, became a religious convert, and led Republic troops to slaughter other Republic forces. His motivation was driven both by his new religious belief, that hate and rage would make him powerful, and by embracing the feelings he held that he had been deceived/denied/manipulated by the Jedi. Vader killed the Jedi because of their religion and because of his new religious beliefs. By the time he kills the leaders of the CIS, that’s a war crime because the Republic had become the Empire and Vader was an agent of the Empire.
