Okay guys, it took me years to figure it out, and for a long time I was in denial, but now I can’t deny it anymore: I don’t like the way they portrayed Anakin in the Prequels. I tried to find all the possible excuses to go against what George Lucas says about the character and have my own interpretation, but in the end I realized that it’s much easier to say openly that I don’t like how the character was portrayed. I don’t like the way the character was portrayed, I don’t like the reasons they gave him to fall to the Dark Side, I don’t like anything about his character arc. Plein and simple. By that, I don’t mean that I don’t like the Prequels as movies, I just don’t like the way George Lucas did Anakin. I much prefer the Anakin that’s in my head (and that will soon be in my Prequel edits).
Yeah… I understand the pain. It’s a long healing process. (Also, insert some stupid outdated joke about 2005 calling and wanting its conclusions back or whatever.)
