“They were animals!” Anakin shouts, again. “They are sentient,” Obi-Wan says, again. “They are the indigenous people of Tatooine.” And even if they were animals, Obi-Wan thinks, that does not justify your slaughter. The Jedi hold all life to be precious. How many times has he taken Anakin into the Room of a Thousand Fountains and let him pet the lothcats that have made their home in the burrows? Would Anakin take his saber to them as well? Would he justify his actions by saying that they were merely animals, that they had hurt him so they deserved it? He has always trusted Anakin with this—to cradle the bright lights within the Force with care. He thought that Anakin’s past, Anakin’s time in the Jedi, Anakin himself; he has always thought that they were in alignment, that Anakin Skywalker would cherish life as the precious commodity that it is. -- Post-Geonosis, Padme confesses that Anakin murdered the entire Sandpeople village, and Obi-Wan faces Anakin in the fallout.
