Jovan's right. Anakin is kinda generic 'stern good guy' in CW right now..
Him being that way, more centered and heroic and having a Pixar generic 'cute big eyed' little sidekick who he has pet names for do make the transition a bit more 'distancey'.
And lets face it, in ROTS he is a parent-to-be and a child killer like 25 mins later. Theres a big difference between angrily stropping off about Padme, momentary lashing out in anger over the death of a loved one and the massively accelerated decline that Lucas surely had to have rushed cause he spent so much time messing about with Gungans and sunny holidays in TPM and AOTC... Not enough suited Vader time either IMO
