"I keep hearing it's a giant leap for Anakin to kill kids.... No it isn't.... He did already.... He killed innocent women and children in AOTC... It's not leap.... He's been in the dark side already. He's been freaking saturated in the dark side like a pig sitting in it's own feces. But that sucks too for the plot. We wanted to see a fall, and Anakin is on his face in the first scene. Brilliant."

It's a huge difference: between a moment of out of control rage and grief immediately after his mother's death... and a clinical decision taken to walk through the streets of Coruscant, enter the Jedi Temple and murder all the kids there. How you can't see there is a WORLD of difference is bewildering.
