As for Vaders comment i have always thought that it refered to Obi thinking vader could be turned back. Doesnt vader say that part of him is dead or something? Then at the end of ROTJ Vader requests that luke tell his sister that he was right, and how luke has already saved him... I have never understood it to mean that obi misunderstood the nature of the force... could be wrong though i suppose...
the Godfather. With the Godfather II the stories are enterlaced with one another, and you see the progression of Vito Corleone. The reason this works is because the story is told in flashbacks while the story countinues in current time as well. I would be all for showing so sort of flashbacks telling the back story of anikien through out Ep. 1. If done right it would be very compelling and add much to Anakin as a character. But as it stands now i view it as wasted screen time.

"I'll try spinning! That's a neat trick!" (I hope I never watch that scene while going through a deep depression, or it might send me over the edge.)
dont forget the also painful "IT'S WORKING!!!, IT'S WORKING" "Are you an angel?" or any random ani(which by the way is a horrible name makes me think he was at one time a red head running around with daddy warbucks.)
but that nonsence is nothing compared to Ani's elloquence when it comes to the women in AOTC... Yikes what a stocker...
