Agreed re: the "foul stench" remark. It's a good burn. Ditto with the Luke whining; it's well delivered and fits his character. That's one reason that I always loved Luke's character arc: he goes from a whiny farm boy to a selfless hero who's totally in control.

Personally, I always thought Anakin's character arc should've been exactly opposite. He should've started as a mature, noble, selfless, likeable character, and transform into an evil villain. Instead, we got an annoying, unrealistic little boy who transforms into a leary, creepy, whiny, overbearing, unbelievable jerk, and finally turns into the cool-as-ice villain from there.

Is it a bad thing when he's far more likeable as an evil villain than he is as a "good guy"?
