I just read Dark Lords of the Sith, which despite not so great drawing (though nothing is as bad as Dark Empire) had a good story. So Exar Kun fell because he wanted to know everything. He was on a quest for the ultimate knowledge. Ulic Qel-Droma fell becasue he thought he could suvert the darkness from within, b ut was beaten by it anyways. And Anakin Skywalker feel becasue he wanted to be able to control situations and became possessive in his loove.
Okay, so Jacen isn't really dark, but he is on a quest for knowledge. After 5 years of traveling he had to have learned some Sith stuff, he had to have visited Korriban, I simply refuse to believe he did just happy lightside stuff. How that plays out later remains to be seen, but still!
Luke never really fell to the darkside. In Dark Empire he did just a little, but his whole point was subvert from within! He only wanted to understand his father better.
Anakin's fall was the lamest only because it should have been more complicated. He was a former slave and way to exceptional. He really needed to control the situations around him. This likely came form the lack of control from childhood, but really he should never have been so easily turned. His love for Padme was obsession with a huge possessive streak.
Kyp, former slave....need I say more...give him a girlfriend and a family and he'll show you over protectiveness bordering on possessive!
