Do you hate the inclusion of Anakin in the 7141 Naboo Fighter LEGO set?

I had a Tim as a kid, in the little tricycle-like time machine. He didn't
bother me that much, he was just a minifig with a unique head (most of my
minifigs had smiley heads at that point). Now as a Teen Friend of LEGO System,
I have the Mystic Mountain lab and he still doesn't bother me. There is
probably a reason for him. Maybe he is Dr. Cyber's son. Maybe he is the child
version of Dr. cyber, who coexists with his older self because of a mix-up in
time travel. Hey, that's a cool theory.
