I fall somewhere between you and the OP. I thought the movies were trying to portray his relationship with Padme as this pure, beautiful thing that was corrupted by his slide into darkness. I don't think they did that well, but I thought that was what they were going for.

However, I also thought that we were meant to see Anakin himself as someone who was pretty flawed-- the anger issues, his pettiness about not being made a master when he joined the Council, and the whole "You're not all-powerful" "Well, I should be!" thing.

For me the prequels weren't so much about the horror of watching a fundamentally good person being corrupted by external evil, but about the horror of watching good people turn a blind eye to the evil growing slowly but steadily in their midst.

That's an interesting take! Yeah, I would've been way more interested in the story if it'd been pulled off better, because that sounds like it could be really interesting and add more moral grey to the Jedi.

Admittedly, though, it's been a LONG time since I saw those movies. I have the Rifftraxx for all three, and I PRESUMED I saw them at some point, but damned if I can remember a damn thing about them!

Your last paragraph is exactly how I see it. I think that there was already a sort of apathy in the Republic and in the Jedi that Palpatine was able to exploit. You can see it right from the beginning because the Trade Federation would not have been able to do it otherwise. And as much as most people seem to hate the political scenes in TPM, I think they are important in showing that things in the galaxy have already gotten bad even before the Empire shows up.

So much this!! And It's why I don't hate TPM the way most do. It sets a good stage, I think, that shows how easily the Republic was swayed.
