Obi Wan had barely graduated as a padawaan when he got Anakin. But I guess that was a bit of an exception. By the films, I'm not sure theres even any sort of "rules" for when a person can get an apprentice except that it has to be approved by the Jedi Council--but, given the way the Jedi Council views Anakin (not very well) there better be a hell of an explanation as to how they thought it was a good idea to give him one.

Bwahahaha! You want an explanation for it? I'm sorry, but this is Lucas we're talking about. There likely won't be an explanation. Anakin will just get a Padawan and that'll be it. The explanation will be that it's his story and he'll tell it exactly the way he wants, whether it makes sense along with past stories or not.
When was the last time Lucas actually explained something with any thought?
