You read the books first? That's interesting :D I watched the movies first. The classic trilogy, to be more precise, and I fell in love with Vader from the first moment he appears in ANH and loved him all the way through to RotS. Even not knowing that he was redeemed in the end, I "knew" there was good in him even before I saw Luke saying the same thing.
Then I went to the prequels. I confess that it was the prequels that made me a Star Wars fan, besides being a Vader fan. I really, really loved Anakin in the prequels! He was exactly what I had in mind for him before he became Darth Vader :)))

I agree with you on Obi-Wan's jerkishness, although I have Obi-Wan/Anakin as my OTP (both platonic and romantic wise). I like Anakin/Padmé, but... well, not as much.
