    Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.

    …did he, though?

      Anakin did not like sand, so therefore he had to kill all the younglings to win Padme’s love. It’s a very clear yet compelling character arc.

      I’d say so

      • plucked from poverty and slavery, despite his mother remaining helpless, by a Jedi that was a part of an order that ultimately saw him as an unscrupulous means to an end of maintaining their power

      • he felt as though he could make a bigger difference than he was allowed if stated order relinquished their attempt at controlling him

      • this feeling was vindicated by his mother’s torture and subsequent death

      • had his previously instilled beliefs challenged by two men he respected

      • incredibly strong motivation to go against the Jedi’s wishes to save the one person he valued more than life itself
