He doesn't offend me, I just rather he wasn't there in the films, plus both Anakins stink (Hayden Christensen and Jake Llyodd) and the only two good things from the Phantom Menace ie, Darth Maul and Qui Gon Jinn were killed off!
They did get progressivley better but not to the standard of the originals. Palpatine and Obiwan got better too but all the films were just special effects after special effects and in the end it got in the way of the characters. I got the impression that Lucas was sooo focused in geting from a to b (b being the start of A new Hope) that he left no room for character development and dialog. Shame really. Anyway enough of my rant, sorry I teased you Sodajazz.
