A few comments from Hayden and the challenges Anakin faces as a Jedi. From tvguide.com:

As Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II ? Attack of the Clones, Hayden Christensen is more sassy than sinister. Impatient and petulant, the future Darth Vader stamps his foot when he can't get his way. Still, he never fails to amuse ? especially when tossing lusty looks at Natalie Portman's Padm? Amidala. All in all, the 21-year-old actor is very relatable as a teen with more power than he's ready for.

"Anakin's flaws, like [those of] all classic mythological heroes, are the same issues everybody struggles with," says director George Lucas. "That allows him to be human."

Anakin's primary struggle: Dedication to his duty versus the carnal imperative to pounce on pretty Padm?! "I think it's difficult for Anakin because he understands that as a Jedi, he is not allowed to fall in love," Christensen says. "There's these conflicting emotions. He feels very passionately about becoming a great Jedi, but at the same time, he feels so passionately for Padm?. It's that confusion that really causes him all of his anxiety in this film.

"And it really allows you to feel for his struggle much more," adds the Life as a House star. "I think most people would make some of the same choices Anakin does."
