Spike TV is showing all the Star Wars movies again. It got me thinking about it again and I felt the urge to share.
I think Anakin lacks a basic understanding of how the world works. He wants to be the best Jedi, to have Padme, and to control both of those areas of his life. He cannot cheat death if Padme is to die.
I would've resigned the Order the moment I decided to marry Padme. My love for her would conquer even being considered "the Chosen One." Star Wars can still put him in the suit as he learns of this power and chooses to learn the powers of the Sith. She is still a Senator and so she would still be in the politics of the war. Anakin would still be able to have a relationship with Palpatine.
The way he did these things--trying to lead the Jedi and be married--made him immoral before he made the decision to kill Windu. Also, by being manipulated by Palpantine, he looks weak and immature.
Bottom line: Anakin should've left the Jedi Order.
