Let's not forget that this is Anakin's SECOND count of mass child murder. The first was shortly after his mother died and he slaughtered an entire tribe of Sand People, in his own words "Not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're animals, and I slaughtered them like animals."

The woman he spoke those words to would go on to fall in love with him, scandalously marry him in secret, bear his twin children, and die of a broken heart over him moments later. George Lucas here demonstrating his full and nuanced understanding of women.

The entire prequel trilogy is sigh-fi.

Thanks for the bad memories! I also always wondered why nobody but the audience considered the Sand People massacre to be a bright red flag. Sand racism, I guess
