Snips (Ahsoka) drove me crazy at first.... She's less annoying to me now for some reason, but I still don't know why they gave him an apprentice.
It's called "marketability".
i.e., getting young girls interested in the SW franchise by introducing a character into the story in which they can identify with and project themselves as in a form of wish fufillment....
.... thereby fulfilling Lucasfilms' hope of giving millions of young male nerds the opportunity of finding a future soul-mate, who would then give birth to more nerd babies, and creating more nerd consumers to spend more money to buy more SW media, all in the glorious name of transforming George Lucas into a true living God Emperor.
.... or so I've heard. -_^
