I gotta disagree with you about Anakin in TPM having "serious anger and abandonment issues." For a nine-year-old who had to leave his mother forever without promise of future contact, he is a remarkably sweet, nice boy. And then we fast-forward through being Obi-Wan's Padawan for ten years and in AOTC he's a fucking mess.

Yeah... Obi-Wan really fell down in the "how to raise a well-adjusted Jedi" department.

I'm a PERSON and my name is ANAKIN!

Yoda's main objection to training him is the amount of fear and anger bottled up inside of him, not his age (although that's part of it). The combination of weak writing and a truly awful performance might make it hard to see, but it's there.

Anakin's fine as long as he's getting his way and/or has Shmi to ground him. In TPM, both those conditions are met. It's after that that all bets are off.

The script calls that line defiance, not anger.

The only reason the Jedi Council gives for refusing to allow Anakin to be trained is his age. Their decision would have probably had more weight with the famously defiant Qui-Gon if they had had more justifications.

Yoda does sense fear in Anakin, true, but this isn't an emotion that he himself is immune to. When Yoda tries one last time to stop Anakin becoming a padawan, he voices his own fear about the boy.

I'm not sure you have Anakin's TPM personality correct, either. When Anakin (initially) was denied permission to be trained, he didn't fly off the handle or sulk. He went to Qui-Gon and said that he didn't want to be a problem for him.
