My idea is to make Anakin more of a Han Solo kind of character. Somebody we like, but is rough around the edges.
Anakin would be a good kid, overall. But he's been brought up in slavery in a harsh environment, so he's rough around the edges. He'd have picked up Watto's mannerisms to a degree, and have a very high "fight to survive" mentality.
Which is actually far more logical than what we got.
