so storytelling is about conflict right. So why not have Palpy try to twist anakin against Obi-wan in AOTC. That will create a pretty strong conflict that would grow throughout the Clone Wars. Of course that is if we stick to the basic story that Lucas has written. I personally would have liked to see Anakin itroduced as a late teen fighter pilot during the Clone Wars. When Kenobi meets him, he should have an aprentice of his own. You could even have a friendship for between these two apprentices of kenobi. Later though that friendship turns to rivalry gone wrong. I like the idea of anakin being obbsessed with knowledge of the force, but we need a motive for him. Why does he crave this power so much before he turns to the dark side? Because he sees this power save the lives of those around him? Or is it a selfish thing? anyway, he goes searching for it since kenobi would not teach him any more yet. And he comes acrossed Sidious and begins his turn to the dark side. While he is assasinating the jedi, kenobi's old pupil, the first one, confronts him and is killed by anakin. This is pretty sketchy and somewhat lame but it could be worked through some.
