Anakin is the center of the Star Wars saga, but we don't think his character has been used to its fullest.
There is a scene in Attack of the Clones that shows early how conflicted the prophesied one is. During a scene where Anakin is alone with Padme, as they prepare to leave for Naboo, the padawan is considering his master Obi-Wan: “[he’s] as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu,” he says, while Force levitating a stone. But very quickly he veers off and rants about his mentor, about how he’s holding him back.
After Obi-Wan has started to dwell less on the past and live more in the present, thanks to the sprightly young Leia, and begun to cast aside his guilt, his powers return; nay, he even appears to grow stronger. At the showdown with his former padawan in the, he is able to defeat the powerful Skywalker, not only with his greater canniness, but with his Force strengths.
In the original trilogy, he is a “Big Bad” while his former self is alluded to, as we discover he is Luke’s father. In the prequel trilogy, we were promised the background to Darth Vader, with Lucas wanting to show how he was once just an innocent kid, while plotting his descent into the Dark Side. But there is a disconnect. After he is christened Darth Vader by Sheev Palpatine, Anakin commits truly terrible deeds. Yet we are informed that “there is still good in him”.
