Right, that's how I see it. Anakin was in a "fit" at the time, and that's understandable, it's like a husband beating his wife in a fit of rage, and then later, "Oh God, I'm awful, what have I done?" I can see that, but like you say, Aural, the Anakin is not quite the Vader we see in the OT. Vader is a cool cucumber, calculated and cunning. I just don't see a whole lot of that in the PT Anakin. And, yeah, I know the whole excuse of "but Anakin's younger and he has to GROW into Vader we see in OT." Sigh (shakes head). It just doesn't work. If you want to connect characters throughout a "saga" you must maintain characteristics of the...character you're portraying. Anakin just seems like he's all over the place to me.

Anyway, sorry, that's not what we were discussing, was it?
