[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8992456, member: 18"] The thing is though, Anakin wasn't the lowest of the low, I mean, not in his own mind, and he wasn't stepped on. He was a small, happy-go-lucky child who didn't seem at all depressed about his place in the world, and was actually extremely adept at navigating that world without really suffering the consequences. He wasn't starving or on the street or in bad health or suffering from malnutrition or neglect or real abuse (beyond being a child soldier but Star Wars is kind of into that) - and he apparently was able to get the resources together to build a droid and a podracer. On top of that, at a fairly early age, he was inducted into the elite of the elite - the Jedi Order. He suddenly stopped being happy-go-lucky as a teen (not uncommon), but the only weird thing is he seems to have totally left his mother in that situation - I feel Jedi probably receive enough renumeration that they could elevate a single family member out of poverty, and if they don't, well some spectacular incompetence on the part of the Jedi. Especially given he was something of a star pupil. I think the story you're suggesting would have been a lot more interesting than what we actually got. [/QUOTE]
