Very mature.Hey everyone, lets pretend we are in 5th grade.
There are tons of things I dislike about the PT. Most have been pointed out, so I'll only talk about the major issue.
Well, I don’t know if what I have to say has been said before, but this is my major gripe with the PT.
I disliked Anakin Skywalker in EVERY movie. As a kid he was highly annoying and could not keep his mouth shut not appealing at all. As a teenager he was even whinier than Luke (this is almost impossible). All his love-dovey scenes with Padame were EXTREMLY cliché and took away from the movie.
To put a cap on my dislike for Anakin was his dumb choice of turning to the darkside. In ROTS he basically was the Emperors ***** and just eat up all the BS he was told by Palp.
Seriously, he turned to the Dark side so that Padame would not die? How ignorant, how selfish and on top of everything else how gullible and weak-minded. On top of that, he slew innocent Padawans and Sand-People babies so that his f*ck-hole could live. By the time we get back to ROTJ I really have no sympathy for him. When I watched the Trilogy as a kid I sort of felt bad for Darth Vader, I felt as though he was used and manipulated by the Emperor, like he just had made mistakes anybody would have. . . but no, he acted like POS all through the PT and did unforgivable things.
The PT shattered the old image of Darth Vader IMO. Did anybody else feel this way?

No...did you expect Darth Vader to me some good goody boy or something? He obviously had to have problems in the PT years.

Well I didn't expect him to be a lowly child murderer. Also, my gripe isn't only because the deeds he did (as I pointed out earlier), but the fact that he was a weak-minded, gullible and whinny b*tch. They could have at least made him have a strong mind of his own rather than being eager Palps boy toy. I guess GL should be happy some people swallowed his load.

Don't be nasty...We are talking about Anakin...who is Darth Vader. After what you see him do in the OT all of the lowly stuff he does in the PT should be no surprise.
Anakin can't be strong sense he falls for Palpatines tricks. He wants power...he is selfish..full of anger, hate...etc.
This is Darth Vader we are talking about. He has problems. Being a slave for most of your early life, having your mentor (Qui-Gon) killed, being rejected by the Council then thrown in the Jedi Order...then losing his mom...falling in love which is against the Jedi Order, then having a secret life, and then in fear of loosing his wife...I wonder why he didn't do anything worse.
Just put yourself in his shoes in the PT. He had it far worse than rough.

I would have liked to see a more brutal Vader myself. I'd liked to have seen a story more like the one I got from the OT: Anakin turns to the Dark Side, goes on a more prolonged (than in de PT) rampage against Jedi, shows the pure unreleneted muscle of the Emperor as Anakin helps the Empire grow and from that point OB1 tries one last attempt to turn Anakin to the good side. It's all rather hasty now. The only bad thing we see him do is half-choke Padme (and kill some Neimodians, but they were annoying anyway)... that's not a whole lot.
So Vader became more of a wuss than I felt he was in the OT.
Originally posted by sweersaYeah, but you can have mature problems and still be an impressive Jedi ...or...you know...you can go the Emo route.
