One interesting trait of Anakin (The Clone Wars)


Hi guys, first time trying to post here :)So, today I was re watching some TCW episodes and I came across "Heroes On Both Sides". And one interesting thing inside the episode if you remember (and have seen it in the first place) is when Anakin was walking next to Ashoka and Padme. Ashoka says she "Knows" the seps are evil, but doesn't understand why all the bickering in the most recent debate had nothing to do with the war or their reason to fight and everything to do with money and policies concerning money. So, Anakin gets in front of her and says: "War's complicated Ashoka, but let me... simplify it. The Separatist believe the Republic is corrupt, but they're wrong, and we have to restore order."This is actually really interesting to me. Because for me this shows us the following things:-How little Anakin actually understands about politics or how complex they can be.-That he's completly oblivious to the little detail that, in fact, the republic is getting more and more corrupt everyday.-Aside from the corruption, the Galactic Republic (by design) I believe is bound to be slow and sometimes totally incompetent in its decision making. Both of these are a HUGE factor on why the Separatist exist in the first place (ignoring Sidious just for a moment, he's kind of obvious too) and shows how little Anakin actually understands their supposed enemy.This also goes with my opinion on him that, despite being very likeable in TCW, he has some moments that make him look childish and annoying, on how simplified his view of things can be, or that he is so sure of what he supposedly knows. Not sure if this was made on porpuse or not, it's just how I feel about him.What do you think of this? As I said, it's a really interesting moment to me, and would like to hear how others feel or think about it.EDIT: Some typos. Probably still missed a coupple via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2sEVOgM
