It's also a little hard to buy that this guy that snapped so quickly at his mother being killed was the same guy that didn't really seem to think about her all that much in training.

Yes, that is a major plot hole imo. We recall the little boy who can hardly bear to leave his mother; he turns and goes back to her. She selflessly encourages him to go on and fulfill his destiny.
And in the next film Shmi is all but forgotten it seems. Years have passed and Padme is first/foremost on Anakin's mind. Did he slaughter those Sand People out of guilt for his own failure to help Shmi sooner?
I also don't understand Obi-Wan's
ho-hum; he'll outgrow it eventually complacency towards Anakin's ongoing attitude (especially by Eps. III). By this time Anakin is not a teenager; he's a full-grown man. And still he's mildly belligerent, rebellious, etc. After all that Jedi training?
Ah well.
