Exactly.Oh, my boyfriend the best Jedi ever just slaughtered a whole village and thought it was okay? Yeah, maybe I should have looked into that more, but I was kinda busy with other things... like...errrr...errr.... oh yeah that weird attempt on my life for which I have fled to the most remote planet of the universe to get some peace of mind.
You guys are over analyzing this. Look what the Tuskens did to Anakin's mom!
Plus all girls like a little bad boy in their boy friends. Hahaha.
What happened in the movie is what really "happened." Time to get used to it, because this is going in circles.

One wrong does not make a slaugher right. Plus Anakin is supposed to be a guardian of peace and justice. Or in Spiderman terms: with great power comes great responsibility. There is no excuse for Anakin and especially for him, this is uberfreakish.
How many wrongs make a slaughter right? I doubt Anakin stopped to think about what he was doing, you can tell after his mother died he was uberpissed. He totally acted in anger and rage, I assume in vengeance also.
The slaughtering of the Tuskens is in a way foreshadowing what is to become of Anakin.
Anakin has always been full of hate, fear and anger. His issue with the Sand people just pushed him a step further to what he will ultimately become.
The slaughter of the sand people advanced the story of Anakin.
For a Senator, Amidala really epitomized the dumb broad who fell for the serial killer/heretic/psychopath.
He massacres a village, defies his very lifestyle by getting married and having kids, whines and b*tches his ass off about dribble anyone else after ten years of separation would find annoying, falls to the darkside, wipes out the Jedi etc. etc.
But not to worry, there's still good in him... 23 years of galactic terror later, it decided to emerge in one last act of betrayal.

And of course iti s foreshadowing, but that is not the point here; it is the point that he did wrong.

Considering he's a Jedi? No wrongs make a slaughter right, that's the entire thing about being a jedi: they never slaughter anyone for any reason... except the forces of darkness (which the tuskens aren't)
You wrote he acted in anger, rage and vengeance... indeed, that is why it is wrong for him to do: it is not the Jedi way as he says it himself!And of course iti s foreshadowing, but that is not the point here; it is the point that he did wrong.
He obviously did "wrong." But the Anakin in Episode II is getting closer to the Darth Vader we see in Episode III. Something like that had to happen to advance his character for the next film.

We were talking about PAdme's POV. How could she still fall mindlessly in love with this freak. That was a major eye opener and is also the point where I feel Lucas failed miserably at making the love story stick.
Who knows man. To each his own. Maybe we can ask Lucas someday.
Maybe Padme liked Anakin so much because of his lightsaber. LOL
