..Hmmm...Moving on.
Further to my musing about if Luke and Leia's mum needed to be of high rank and if it would have been better if Anakin was already married when he decided to follow Obi-Wan on a damn fool idealistic crusade.
The whole fall of Anakin could play out like A Rake's Progress.
Anakin is a navigator on a spice freighter but has a home on Tatooine with a wife a brother and a sister in law who live on the farm.
He's essentially a space trucker and meets Obi-Wan and his apprentice Darth Vader during one of his off world trips.
Obi-Wan's life seems more exciting and Anakin is fascinated with the mystical aspects of the Force so he leaves home and his wife (who unknown to him is pregnant when he leaves).
When the clone wars break out Anakin is not fully trained (partly because he started training just as the war broke out and partly because his teacher is still training Vader too). He is not ready for the horrors that war presents him with or the intoxication of fame and glory.
He sees injustice and cruelty on both sides and takes a hard line on his foes who he feels is praying on the weak.
He uses the threat of violence and fear to fight these people seeing it as means to an end, something Vader initially agrees with.
The more aggressive and Eastwood like the two become the more their new powers become addictive and when Anakin appears to be killed behind enemy lines, his fellow pupil refuses to give up and searches for him.
A new leader appears on the enemy side calling himself Darth Vader and begins to hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights.
Obi-Wan at first can not believe that his former pupil would have fallen so far and eventually during the course of the war he fights the masked 'Darth (who lifts his mask to Kenobi but not to us and to Kenobi's horror this Vader is indeed a former pupil of his) 'and apparently kills him only to have him return as a cyborg and finish what he has begun.
Obi-Wan finds out about the twins and takes the mother and daughter to live on Alderaan but Owen will not surrender the boy blaming Obi-Wan for everything that has happened.
He stays behind to secure the boy's safety.
