That’s probably why these fash weirdos are pumping the ROTS novelization
I bet they just heard that it's an actual good book (sort of true, terms and conditions apply) and namedrop it so people might associate them with quality.
the idea that he’s still carrying unresolved trauma from being enslaved carries nearly all that weight
And like his time as a slave didn't even seem all that bad, he looked like a clean and well fed kid who had time to pursue engineering as a hobby and would nerd out about local sport events.
The shape of the story feels like Anakin was aged down late in development and he was meant to cut a more harrowing figure as both a run down victim of generational slavery as well as a target of racism/speciesism all too eager to prove himself (wasn't there a thing where the other kids were being demeaning to him about humans being too slow in the head to be good pod racers), and also old enough to catch similarly aged Amidala's eye, instead of inadvertently turning her into a creep who ogles grade schoolers. And the jedi wouldn't need to pretend that you must be like months old to start training otherwise it might not take, which implicitly turns them into baby snatchers.
