Interesting how, while they discuss the idea that "many" teens may be BPD and therefore relate to Anakin, they fail to mention that in the second movie, Anakin is still a teenager. (It also sounds more like BPD is a developmental issue, being stuck in a teenage state of mind, from their description anyway. Of course, that could be just that it's a short article oversimplifying something.)
