I couldn't wait for AOTC to end. But don't you think making him a jerk is their feeble attempt to get us not to like him? After all, in The Phantom Menace Anakin was "cute" and promising. In the next movie he has to morph from annoying teenager to evil personified. My guess is that was their intent, but they just didn't pull it off.
(Sorry for the Star Wars tangent...)
Yeah, probably. 'Course they made me not like the whole movie along with the not liking of Anakin.
Star what?
