The Desert Mermaid

I do agree that the prequels seem to go for that--the whole idea is that Anakin is frustrated with the Jedi making it impossible to really maneuver through life in a meaningful way. They've become a bureaucracy, really. That's part of my brother's longer arguments about why Yoda's full of it; I just stick with his basic mixed message from the first trilogy, where I don't think the subtext was intentional.

I also firmly believe that the way Anakin brought balance to the Force was to father Luke, who figured it out.
