I've come around on Anakin. I didn't care for him in the prequels but I also didn't care that he was the pre-Vader because Vader isn't a huge selling point for me in Star Wars. I think the execution was terrible but having gotten deeper into some of the other Star Wars materials, I actually like the tragic quality they have going on. I like to think of the Anakin we knew and the Vader we get, and wonder what he's thinking about at any moment.

I think the biggest thing for me is actually how fans have responded to Kylo Ren. I've seen so much hate for him not being the badass that his appearance promised but it's clear he's not supposed to be that badass. And, I think what they're doing is interesting. The vitriol that I've seen has really turned me off the kind of villain these people want, and it bleeds into Vader. I don't want him to be just a big, scary villain. I like the added dimension that Anakin Skywalker is.

I've actually heard a lot more Anakin-hate since Kylo Ren was revealed than I ever heard before. (Not that it wasn't there. It's just coming up in conversation now.) I thought I'd heard all the prequel complaints, but I must've missed this one. It sounds like there are a lot of people who support your POV, OP.

I agree with all of this outside tge ending. I must be in a different corner of the fandom because everyone I follow who is into Star Wars LOVES Anakin. TCW helped a lot with that. That and Hayden's quiet resurgence back into Star Wars during Celebration.

Oh, definitely! When I'm in the TCW or prequels-part of fandom, they love Anakin (sometimes to annoying degrees). It really depends on where you are. I mostly see the Anakin-hating part of fandom in the same place as the prequel-hating fandom, which is often on SW news sites. Since Kylo showed up, they've been very vocal about how they hate what the prequels did to Vader.

Come off it! Cartoon Anakin and Hayden are completely different characters and I'm sick of prequel fans trying to steal credit from Clone Wars. Confusing them is probably a tactic done on purpose.

Hayden looks miserable by the way, and only people stupid enough to defend prequels are his fans.
