Well, I thought Rogue Planet was OK, and showed just enough of Anakin's ability to be nasty. I have recently finished the Jedi Apprentice series, but have yet to start Jedi Quest. I hope to soon, so I'll be keen to pay attention to see if I see it the same way.

I mean, wasn't he like 12 in that book? Good luck with Jedi Quest. As much as I loved the idea of a pre-AotC Anakin/Obi-Wan series, I felt like it sort of missed the mark, especially after seeing RotS. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Wow see I read it BEFORE RotS, and found it ok, it seemed to be setting the tone for the galaxy under palpatine's rule. In fact I really like Ferus in this series, so his continuation of the series was supercool! _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

Sure hes all angry and does some stuff...like chop some bad guys up. But realy...it was the fact that Palpatine promised Anakin that he wud teach him how he could save Padme. And thats wat made him stop Mace Windu.... Hell all Anakin told Mace was that Palpatine needed a trial-_- Had Mace trusted Anakin more...-_- this might not hav happened. _________________

And, just for the record, I think Anakin was majorly played. Whenever I watch RotS and Palpatine says that he doesn't know the secret to immortality (or whatever), but that together he's sure they can discover how to master it, I always imagine Palatine looking at Anakin and thinking "sucker!". _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

That point("sucker") is driven home further in the Dark Lord Rising book. Anakin figures out more and more how much he was duped, but now he was stuck.

I get annoyed when Anakin/Vader is portrayed as unintelligent. And that does happen. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

That always stood out to me. Also, I don't believe I've seen you around much before. Welcome to the Cantina. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Yes he was being urged by Sidious to do it but I don't think he was being manipulated into it, I think he just did it because he could... and using both his own saber AND Dooku's to slice off the head scissor style? That was Dark IMO.

Hey, I think he turned dark when he used the Force to knock that hydrospanner out of Jar Jar's hand, when he was fixing the podracer, knowing Jar Jar would get his hand stuck. What better way to get rid of Jar Jar than to make it look like an accident? That kid was evil, dude. Even back then. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan.
