Channeling the energy of life itself. I could see how that'd be overwhelming, simply in it's vastness and harsh duality, to someone young and inexperienced. Power can be as dangerous as it is helpful. Rage or hubris backed with an ability to destroy can produce massacres. [ don't ask if he has personal experience, but obi-wan's point of emotions, control and restraint, pings another curious similarity worth noting. ] I'm unsure angels could ever be called young. There was no child-rearing, no training. One moment we simply were. We're created without souls. Angels were never meant to experience emotion.

[ meant to, but maybe capable. or perhaps a mimicry of feeling - it's hard to say exactly, what qualifies or defines emotion? the time he spent as a human was certainly more vibrant, more visceral, but the feelings were essentially the same. he couldn't have created a soul simply by losing grace, so perhaps the emotion was never truly there. or, it has been all along. who's to say? ]

What does a Jedi do with that burnout, once they've hit it?
