| Re: Damn you Lucas!!! Yes, I agree, there were a lot of points missed. Anakin showed up on the galactic scene at a very bad time. The Jedi were apathetic and set in their ways, the government was soft and corrupt, and there was some evil guy plotting and plotting. In TPM, Anakin showed potential for arrogance with 'I'm the only human that can do it', and also anger by beating up young Greedo. He also showed incredible kindness and thoughtfulness. He was encouraged and taught very well by Qui-Gon, but was coldly disregarded by the Jedi council right from the start - especially by Mace. I think his dislike and distrust for them was justified, he just chose the wrong solutions. I know things would have gone so much better in his life if Qui-Gon were his instructor for his entire training. Qui-Gon saw through the council's bad decision making and always budded heads with them and outright disobeyed them to do what was right. That is why Qui-Gon is my favorite Jedi. Without him though, Anakin was ripe for corruption himself, being surrounded by ones who treated him like the red headed step-child. So I think his high Midi-Chlorian count was somehow his justification of his actions, not neccisarily the cause of his fall. |
