Hot Toys MMS437 - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 Collectible Figure

Good points all. Rian Johnson probably put it best when he said: "The PT is about how fear of loss can turn good people into fascists."

I also discovered this week that in the ROTS novelization Palps plants the seed in Anakin's head that Padme may be cheating on him with Obi-Wan. This was only hinted at in the movie.

Yes. Exactly. I do remember that from the novel. Episode 3 was the only prequel that I needed more clarification of events and read. Much better than the movie.

I'd like these parts made their way into the movie. The part he did not sleep for 5 days could be emphasized with one sentence. His pursue for knowledge in Jedi archives to save Padme would have taken 1 or 2 minutes. Though the restricted section of archive thing well explains his desire to be granted as master in the movie, I think it plays into him being good rather than him being ambitious for power. As I've said, I'm fine with him doing anything to save Padme. I'm not fine with him internalizing his dark actions in 20 minutes. A man can kill anybody to protect his child, let's say. Bu this action, he has past the moral border of taking someone's life, but that does not mean he's fine with that. But it becomes easier for him to kill another person in the future. And so on. Eventually he begins to not care or having joy. The thing is, this can't be in just 20 minutes.
For me, his tears after slaughtering seperatists shows his unwillingness in his actions but he has no choice. The thing is, after a few hours he just defends his Empire to Padme and Obi-Wan.

He needed to be losing it at the beginning of the film - with the likely time scale of the film - it’s clearly months not days you could easily have put in his slide to the dark side

They did. He was conflicted on executing Dooku.

Ne needed to start losing it from the second film! It's almost like they got to the third movie and was like "F#%k, we've got just two hours to turn this guy into Darth Vader". The seeds should have been better planted from earlier on in the trilogy.

there was a slow turning process during whole Clone Wars animated series. If you guys did watch that show it expained many details why Anakin was destined to follow the Sith... Jedi Council did not trust him and lied to Anakin many times, expelled Ahsoka without any proprer investigations, even Obiwan did not join him to defend her, different politic ideas toward the Republic......

yeah but I have to say that scene in ROTS when Anakin turned to dark side kinda..escalated quickly

So you don't feel that when in EpII he killed an entire village of tusken raiders for revenge for his mother "I slaughtered them like animals, the women and children too", that didn't hint at even just a little that he had some darkness in him? Or was that normal behavior for a jedi?

Mr Lucas planted lots of seeds in EpII.. it was just for some of you guys here did not understand his hidden messages

I watched AOTC recently and the seeds as you say are a lot more obvious looking at now. And despite the flack it gets it has far more entertaining action sequences and mystery that The Last Jedi.

The movie would’ve benefited a lot by showing Anakin’s desperate, sleepless search for knowledge to save Padme. Overall, I like the story the prequels tell, it’s just the execution is stiff and cluttered. I just ordered the prequel trilogy novels, can’t wait to read them.

This sentiment pretty much applies to any CBM, not only exclusive to SW.
