Comment Yes! His character succumbs to weakness, not evil. (Score 1) 243
I see Anakin sabotaging the bad guy's pod not out of maliciousness, but frustration at his own childishness. What if he's portrayed as lashing out indescriminately at the brute hunk of machinery, realizing he's somehow done serious damage, then peering about hoping no one's seen his cowardly act?
The type of foreshadowing I would have liked to have seen is Anakin rewarded for youthful victories that came too easy, nascent Jedi powers that were not so awesome as they seemed. This would have set the stage for his descent into the dark side, not because of an insidious evil streak, but because he was too simply weak to resist.
