But if Anakin was in training to be a Jedi, wouldn't that have the hero mystique built in?
To me, a hero is someone who does something really great, like risking oneself to save a bunch of people. Being a Jedi could lead to becoming a hero, but just being a jedi, I don't know. Luke became a hero before he was a jedi, by destroying the death star. It's two different things.
