Technically I think he basically got the "additional duties and responsibilities" without the title or pay bump.
- And the seat. He got the seat.
Cop goes postal after corporation just letting his mother die and refusing to protect his wife. Goes and pushes for a Nazi coup...
Damn, the story of the prequels is so good, it's a shame the movies don't really explore it.
- They wasted a movie. The first one should have jumped in during Anakin and Obi-wan's friendship in the clone wars. Have some flashbacks to a childhood and how he got to be Jedi, but the brotherhood be the focus. Even have the love interest be then, maybe being Anakin's first test of who he loves more. The second can be tons of character buildup and struggle, the third the fall.
  Someone years ago on YT did a speculation of this, and the center of the clone wars (or at least where those two were) is Alderaan. The biggest flaw in rewatching and now more accepting of the prequels is that his fall feels very rushed and forced. Give more development time to explore the whys, and the viewer will both sympathize and hate Anakin's decisions more.
  
  IMO, there is also too much crammed there.
  You either have large politics, centered on the Senate, or you have small politics centered on the people. Or maybe it's missing a movie dealing with the Republic stuff.
