owlAnd another brilliant insight from Fernwithy:
Power [is not] Anakin's fixation, except in a secondary way. He wants power, yes, but only because power gives him control, and control stems the fear that things are in fact spinning out of control. As for power itself, I think that his statements in the picnic scene are pretty indicative: he'd prefer someone else--someone wise--had absolute power. He just wants to defend that person.
