Absolutely insanely drippy. Flexing on everyone else to an absurd degree.Look at this bling.
So many better ways. Talk about using air currents when pod racing, or even hyperspace lanes on a starship.

The dude got a hotrod built from the castoffs of an elder race that may as well be powered by a miniature-giant-space-hamster running on a wheel. Its the least efficient design possible that shouldn't work but does. It has no reason to exist except to show his penis is the size of a fully operational battle station.

We are the diplomat. Its not about stopping someone, its about getting a genuine problem looked at.

We have no more wriggle room at this point though. If Anakin gets another stress break - which he damn well might - then he flips out. And we know that the higher that stress bar fills, the bigger the explosion will get. And given everything, that's liable to end up happening right in the middle of this mission.
What's more - Stress breaks are not always wholly negative. Just because they tend not to end well, the act of venting that stress and acting out means that people start to recognise that you might have an actual problem. One part of Anakins issues in canon was that he always repressed aspects of himself to try to live up to his percieved expectations of being a Knight/Hero.
Signature look of superiority.
Don't forget that during our first stress break, when we yelled at the Jedi Council, some members did end up somewhat agreeing with us.

The dumb rules in fact explicitly do not reduce the rate of Fallen Jedi except insofar as they have taken an axe to the number of Jedi, period; and in fact actually increase the rate at which Falls occur.
This simply results in the appearance of effectiveness because the absolute number of Fallen Jedi went down, because the absolute number of Jedi also went down. This is explicit to both the original EU post-prequals and the Disney canon; the Jedi Order has been slowly dieing out since Ruusan.
By Anikin's time, the Jedi Order as a whole, including younglings, initiates, the service corps, and those heretics on Corallia, numbers fewer than the number of Jedi masters who were active at the start of the New Sith Wars alone, and barely half the number of Masters and Knights who survived its explosive conclusion. They never actually recovered from the New Sith Wars after the Corucent temple hung the Jedi Lords and other surviving temples out to dry.

Doesn't red choices increase stress?
Not when they are Giving Into Temptation! Then they clear everything out.

This is a temptation vote. Don't expect giving in to go well

This absolutely is a bad idea but we also need this as a teaching moment for all involved.
Iskat that patience is valuable
Anakin that communication is key
Obi-Wan that Anakin needs someone to shoot straight with him and give him the real deal.

I'm going to feel real bad if this results in the kid's death, but otherwise this is the kind of dumb impulsive heroism that Anakin is actually very good at. There's a serious problem and Anakin is in a position to help his friend. Why not indulge his dumb heroic instincts when it'll blow off steam?
I mean, if stress wasn't a mechanic in this quest (or if we were in the shallow end instead of the deep about to explode) I'd pass it on to Obi-Wan because he wouldn't just let this pass him by and he's excellent at talking to people, but given the givens this is the best option.
