It actually improves the story to view Anakin as not very smart or strategic. He was the blunt, talented jock - great instincts but not much going on upstairs! So all his questionable decisions make more sense if he was an oblivious pawn in Palpatine's master plan. What do you think - was Anakin actually an idiot?? 🤔🤯 #starwars #prequels #anakinskywalker #palpatine #georgelucas
