The problem is not that Anakin isn’t realistically portrayed as a jerk, it’s that he acts like a jerk at all. He’s supposed to be one of the main characters, in the OT he was described as a great man and a good friend, we should be relating to him and care for him
I was about to make a post but I guess I don’t need to.
What I would add is that this kind of fundamental annoying crap is the real deal breaker when it comes to PT. Bad acting or dialogue are mere mild annoyances.
I still think that, had they wrote better dialogues, in the end we would’ve not seen Anakin as a jerk, but more like a young rebel (no SW pun intended!)
The argument that George Lucas always intended the Jedi to be selfless and emotionless people is not true. Hell, in the first draft of TPM (found here: http://starwarsuniverse2.tripod.com/id7.html) Obi-Wan ends up falling in love with Anakin’s mother!
:\ Those look like fakes. Anyway, I think Qui-gon is the one falling with Miss Skywalker 😄
