Anakin's transition and Windu's part in it

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2005)

In this movie Lucas shows again that he is a masterful storyteller and he can awaken emotions and feelings in you like few can.
SPOILER AHEAD
Anyways I'd like to know those who did see the movie and enjoy it for it's philosophical arguments agree with my take on Anakin's transition. Some liked the movie but thought his transition was too quick and the reasons weren't good enough. But it worked perfectly for me. It's not something that happened in this movie alone. You see it started with the TPM. A slave boy who had to leave the only person who loved him, his mother, and then see her only before she dies; A young man with so much power and potential that was wasted just because of the Jedi's distrust of him. Instead of embracing him the council excluded him, distrusted him and here the biggest blame falls on Samuel L. Jackson's character, Mace Windu. He distrusts the boy and perhaps even is a bit jealous. Spoiler aheadIt is Windu who suggests that the Chancellor should be removed and the Council must take over for the transition period. The wise Yoda doesn't react too well to this suggestion. And finally it is Windu who tries to kill the Chancellor rather than have him stand trial as Anakin suggest. Windu embodies all that is weak about the Jedi order  arrogance, too much power, and lack of compassion. But however I don't think Smauel L. Jackson is aware of this as he played the character but I think this is what Lucas had in mind. Therefore to my earlier point about Anakin's transition, it is completely believable, a boy with so much power and potential but sidelined by those very mentors that should show him compassion. It is inferred that Anakin has done great feats in the Clone Wars (betw Ep II and III) but is not acknowledged by the council.
The only one after his mother from whom he receives any affection is Padme (little Anakin asks, "are you an angel") and why should he not be ready to give up everything for her, especially so, when the Jedi didn't offer him much. Well so to me Anakin's transition was totally believable.
