Exactly. Obviously, he couldn't be exactly like Riddle, but like him in the respect that he always carried around this affinity for the dark side, and he always longed for power to satisfy his own greed, not to help other people. But it should struggle with his desire to do the right thing. But his greed ultimately wins out in the end. One of the most irritating elements of the Phantom Menace was that there was not a single moment where it hinted through his character that Anakin could possibly have any evil intentions. He was this perfect happy child who was all too eager to do the right thing and never hurt anybody in his entire life. The best we get was Yoda's cryptic message that something could go wrong. Ohhh, yeah, storytelling at its greatest, let me tell you. That's probably why I clung to Attack of the Clones so much when it came out three years later, because at the very least it showed some darkness in Anakin. It still suffered from the elements I said in my last post, but at least they were going somewhere with it rather than just having Yoda continue to say, "I think he'll be evil," even though they did continue to do that as well because there wasn't enough evil to sustain the idea on itself...

But I'm rambling. Hehe, I think it's so awesome that you had the same idea, too, Darth Simon. I wonder how many other people would agree.
