I don't care whether he's that bad ass, only that the changes to his character help make Anakin seem more like a victim than a brat.

Him taking on Palpatine alone makes sense, and means we don't see the ridiculous deaths of hardened Jedi because they just stand there doing nothing. Or the fact that 4 Jedi went to subdue him but they never thought to contact the other Jedi to tell them about the impending arrest.

This change also brings to mind the quote "your overconfidence is your weakness".

Ady, if you're watching this thread, have you given any thought to amalgamating Jango and Boba into Boba Fett and losing the kid? This has been mentioned not long ago in this thread. Also if I had my way, you'd never see Boba (Jango) without his helmet. It removes all the mystery of the character. Recolouring the armour would also be on my wish list, but would probably be a huge undertaking.
