Well I don't know, they could make it into a plot point that Anakin is being given a padawaan even though Obi Wan probably believes he's not ready. Maybe the clone war has wiped out so many Jedi that they can no longer assign padawaans just to Masters. Lucas isn't writing it or directing it, keep in mind, so I wouldn't rule out a thought-out justification of some kind. Whether its believable is another matter though.

Whether he's in complete control or not doesn't matter. Anakin training a Padawan is a pretty major plot point, so he'd have the final say on that. Remember, Lucas didn't write any of the NJO books either, but he ok'd Chewie being killed off. That was a major plot point that had to be approved directly through Lucas.
