The biggest problem with the Prequels is that Anakin is far too happy, healthy and well adjusted as a kid.
He was a slave. It would have made far more sense for him to be malnourished, abused and angry. It would have made his fall to the Dark Side much more believable.

No, this is just one of hundreds of symptoms of George being a dogshit writer.
You're correct that it would make more sense as you put it, but George can't write for shit and it shows in endless ways. All things considered, this is just one minor piece of nonsense in a vast web of nonsense.
He was a house slave
> He was a slave. It would have made far more sense for him to be malnourished, abused and angry.
Actually most slaves in the antebellum South were happier, healthier, and more well adjusted than their descendants are today.
Yes I am aware. That should have been changed as well.
It makes a far better story to have arguably the most powerful individual in the galaxy working as a slave in some mining pit.
>It would have made far more sense for him to be malnourished, abused and angry.
This doesn't make any sense. What kind of slaveowner would beat and starve their slaves...?
Watto owned Anakin, but he didn't wake him up every morning and beat him within an inch of his life like a Hollywood confederate slaveowner. If you owned livestock, would you beat them within an inch of their life every single day or do you want them to be healthy and work?
The only abused malnlourished raped slaves are the ones in Africa this very day, this very minute, the last actual slaves left on Earth are all owned and raped by Africans (my ancestor :)
Is this true lmao?
Anakin was an extremely talented mechanic and sharp young lad, he was valuable as fuck to Watto. He kept him and his mom like pets, not like subjects for sadism. He even said that a slave is worth more than an entire pod racer, a human slave is worth more than a car
were Roman slaves constantly pissed off? This guy's wearing a red sash so he doesn't look that bad off but he's still the ancient equivalent of a laptop computer.
What do you think:

Shouldn't have been standing there.
That's asking a lot out of lil Jakey
black people's skin just does that
Accurate.
The vast majority (3/4ths or so) of Roman slaves would've been 'working from home'. The administration of Sicily as a province seems unclear... Cretans appear to be exploiting Carthaginian slaves so it sounds like a slightly different system from the mainland, and the Senate appears to have little real control, is it analogous to the "Outer Rim"?
even as a little kid i found the age difference between anakin and padme in episode 1 fucking weird.
at least he’s not overdosing on meth outside a McDonald’s like today’s niggers
There was a huge gap in status & conditions between low-value agricultural slaves (and mining slaves were even worse-off than them) and household slaves, especially the literate, skilled Hellenized ones, who were basically Mentats and often were freed (and later had a huge role in the Imperial bureaucracy).
The biggest problem with the sequels was that it's two leads were horrible actors (christensen and portman) which is why Phantom Menace is the only ""decent"" one of the three.

I've wondered about this, since the Reformation was initiated by Martin Luther, himself the heir to a miner.

It's interesting, in the Gospels at times you get varying accounts of certain trials depending on whether the account was recorded by a Notarius, or a Scribae... so sometimes you'll get official records or you'll get comments spoken more or less off the record
actually that's one of the best parts
anakin grew up on some no name planet under terrible conditions and he turned out to be an alright kid who was willing to help complete strangers for no reward. it was only when he was introduced to the republic that he started to go bad, which shows how corrupt the republic really was
Manual labor slaves don't really make any sense in a setting with droids.
YES I have felt this way since the first time I saw the movie.
He was a mechanic slave in the desert. At the very least his face should have been pinched.
I mean that's the most common criticism of these films, we're told things but not shown.
Because this is a kids movie.
Seriously? Do you know how many credits a tg-987-B (a basic model mechanic util droid ) would cost?
. then there is maintenance and power costs
not to mention good luck getting them out in the outer rim markets.
>slave
>kid celebrity racing dangerous Star Wars F-1
Soul , can someone do this for droids
ANI WAS INSANELY CUTE
>dude why didn't they malnourish this kid for this space fantasy movie for kids not realistic at all! what was the gungans tax policy
When will people realize these kinds of nitpicks are worse than trash? Is that really the best you got for saying the prequels raped your childhood? Fucking sad.
