I agree with you about Boromir :'( Anakin Skywalker, but not in the sense of "aw look at that, how unfair", madami like an overwhelming sense of tragedy and waste. He was always a victim of circumstance- growing up as a slave on Tattooine, having his mother die in his arms, facing the possibility of his wife's death as well. Sure he was arrogant and a bit whiny. But I don't think he ever felt like he got much sympathy, acceptance, or recognition in the Jedi order. Obi Wan only took him on, reluctantly, to honour Qui Gon's wishes. Mace Windu, from the very beginning, was opposed to his training. So was Yoda, who also didn't help the situation when his only payo to a distraught and grieving young man was to "let go of everything you fear to lose". He was freed from slavery only to walk into another oppressive situation. Then along comes Palpatine, giving him praise, trust and encouragement for the first time. A master manipulator, who ultimately duped him into committing horrendous acts in the name of love. He Nawawala his friends, loved ones, humanity, most of his body, and in the end was left with... nothing. Just an empty hatred that must of chewed him up for the susunod several decades. He had the potential to be the greatest Jedi of all time, but before he could truly utilise his gifts for good, he was tricked into utilising them for evil. Not to mention that his abilities were significantly diminished when he Nawawala most of his body. Like I said, it just seems an incredible waste. Like the characters of Greek tragedy, he had it in him to reach heights greater than any other man, but his flaws caused him to fall to the lowest of depths. Contrary to his outward cybernetic appearance, I honestly feel like he was the most "human" character of the bituin Wars Saga. This in no way excuses his crimes. But I did truly feel sorry for him and shit life he ended up having. Also, he's hot ;)
