The Sandman's attempt, while definitely reprehensible, was more selfless because his little girl was dying. There was no admonition about him not being able to live without her, no selfish reasons.


What? What is his "selfish reason"? If was to save someone's life, it's not like as if he wants Padme because he'll get money for it or something?

The novel makes a very good impression upon the reader that Anakin's desire to save Padme's life isn't out of a sense of deep and unyielding compassion, a trademark in the Jedi (and not completely absent here). Rather it stems out of a need to control things, in this case, control whether the woman he's been obsessed with for 13 years will live or die. The lengths he goes to in order to ascertain this control break all boundaries of rationality and, IMO, sanity.
