However given that in the prequels they made Anakin a member of the council & he had taken an apprentice in the clone wars series. So it's hard to argue that Anakin was still just a learner when he fought Obi Wan as he was already considered a Jedi master, had already taken an apprentice & was on the council. |

I watched Attack of the Clones two nights ago and Revenge of the Sith last night, before staying up until Midnight to watch Chapter 15 of The Mandalorian and one thing that really hit me was that Obi Wan was just as responsible for Anakin's fall to the dark side as Palpatine.
He asked Anakin to spy on the Chancellor and when Anakin objects, Obi Wan pushed him to follow the Council's orders. The Council also pushed Anakin to betray the Chancellor. Anakin tried to do the right thing when Mace Windu and the other Jedi showed up to kill Palpatine as well. It's kind of strange that Obi Wan is held in high regard, when he went against the Jedi Code and blatantly lied to Luke on several occasions, yet he's basically thought of as a hero. |

And while I hated Christensen's portrayal of Anakin as much as anybody else, he wasn't nearly as awful or annoying as Kylo in the last three. |

Load of shit. Kylo was the only good thing about the sequels. Way better than Hayden's shit-tier prequels.

Again, I don't blame the actor. He was the victim of bad stories and bad directing. I pretty much hate VII through IX as much as I do I through III. They're all bad movies. The only good, truly enjoyable Star Wars movies made since the 80s are Rogue One and Solo. |

There was nothing "cool" or "calculating" about Kylo Ren. He continually acted like a spoiled child and had zero control of his emotions. His "redemption" was about as a dumb as possible. |
