In that case why does Obi-Wan blame himself for the failed training of Anakin? Why does he leave him writhing in agony? Why does he teach him to do what I say, not what I do?
Anakin's decent to the Darkside is also pretty laughable when you really think about it. It's just jarring when you watch it, but when you try to subject the words to paper it gets even worse. You say "He was not going to let history repeat itself as with the death of his mother which he blamed on himself." but where in the movie do we see any justification of why he blames himself? Because no-one thought to bring his mother to the city? Because he never writes and never answers his phone? Because we'd seen so much affection between the two?
Yes, he wanted to save Padme, heck, who wouldn't. You say he was on the verge of being a master? But then expect the audience to believe the only person for whom Anakin could turn to in this time of trouble was an obvious Sithlord that has no connection to his community? Does the Jedi training not include a few lessons on the subject of coping with death? Heck, they deal enough out. Does no-one 'sense' his anger? Take him to one side? Does no-one in the Jedi council get even slightly narked by the sudden death of it's entire young-ling collection? Does the young-ling school only teach one age group? Where are all the other school grades, those aged 0-7 and 9-18 or whatever? Don't you think he'd be quite the marked man after such an act?
The entire character arc is nonsense thrown at you without rhyme nor reason. One minute he's a Jedi trying to be a Jedi, the next he's Charles Manson. You really think someone with force powers wouldn't have a completely arrogant nature towards the opposite sex? "You will go down on me now" - "I will go down on you now". I just don't buy it, and neither did the audience. Even if the one you loved was in dire straights, the whole "you could always try my backroom down this alleyway" routine would result in at least some research, it's not like trying to save people from death is illegal. Wouldn't there be some nutty Shamen on planet bonkazoid be worth a shot as well? You know, before the whole slaughter everyone option? Nope, just mother dies, well that's what you get for leaving her in the wastelands, Padme dies, I'm a Sith now.
The movies are very long, there's three of them, the whole point of the movies is to watch Anakin become Darth Vader (and how Obi-Wan failed him), and all we get is his mother dies and Padme dies towards the end? What were the foreshadowing clues as to his gradual submission to the darkside? When he whines at Padme? Give me a break. The guy doesn't even snap a pencil for 6 hours.
