quick question...in your vision, would anakin have been doing these assassinations of jedi while he was a jedi? what i mean was, when you say the jedi eventually figure this out are your referring to the fact that they find out that anakin is in fact a rogue jedi (sith) and the one responsible for the murders? I guess when you said this i kinda saw him as mole in the jedi order.
Anakin was trained by Obi-Wan during the Clone wars and for a time after. In my vision Jedis started there trained starting in their teens, not as toddlers. The fact that Obi-Wan trained Anakin past his teens was one of his downfalls and is what leads Yoda in TESB to say that Luke is too old to begin the training. Anakin is among the few in the history of the Jedi that started their training older than most, and it had terrible results.
Due to the war there was no way for Anakin to be trained properly. Since Obi-Wan saw that he already was drawing on the force during battle, he decided to train him. Obi-Wan was simply a Jedi Knight, not a master. Obi-Wan had been his teacher though, and once the clone wars ended Obi-Wan was allowed to keep Anakin as his apprentice. It was at that time that Anakin became more and more obsessed with the force. There were brief glimpses of Anakin taking the force for granted during battle (after Obi-Wan had begun training him), and with the war over it simply got worse.
Jedi were supposed to peace keepers, not a militia, but that was what Anakin was becoming. Scarred from war and dxrunk with power, he was not the same man he was. Perhaps if he wouldn't have been trained Anakin would have been killed during the wars, or he wouldn't have had a power-trip after. I don't know. Anakin was recognized as a Jedi at the time that Obi-Wan became concerned about Anakin. Anakin keeps harassing Obi-Wan about teaching him more. Obi-Wan is concerned but is still blind to the fact that Anakin is treading deeper and deeper into areas he shouldn't be/ Very similar to Exar Kun or Kyp Durron. Eventually Anakin goes in search of the power.
Thinking about it now, it really does remind me a lot of Exar Kun. He goes in search of secrets. He gets into far and can't get back out. One difference is that Anakin serves a dark lord, rather than him becoming the actual dark lord. Still, after his return to the republic he acts as if nothing is different, but in the shadows and the dark places he is doign the bidding of the dark lord.
So yeah, he is a Jedi when the other Jedi figure out what is going on. He is working undercover essentially. They don't know what is going exactly because as Yoda said "the dark side clouds everything." Sorry that I took so long to answer your question. I don't mean to ramble.
Thanks for responding everybody. Keep the imaginitive juices flowing.
