Some people at The Force.net definitely have these scary weird feelings about Anakin that I don't think even Lucas ever intended. He had the guy kill children! He's bad okay? They think he's cute or something. It's like those lonely women who write letters to prisoners.

Yeah, I must admit that's quite irritating. All those mindless girls who flocked to the prequels because, "OMG, Hayden is just so adorable!" really pissed me off. I know I've mentioned this before, but when TPM came out, there was this commercial advertising Star Wars mechandising where this kid went to school for the first time and equated it to Anakin leaving his mother. And a bunch of references were made to how he should be like Anakin. I couldn't believe it! This is Darth Vader! I was thinking. He's going to grow up and murder people! And you're encouraging your kids to emulate him?!

By the way, I think Darth-Adroit's post is spot on. Way to nail down our crappy modern society.
