I'd say so

  • plucked from poverty and slavery, despite his mother remaining helpless, by a Jedi that was a part of an order that ultimately saw him as an unscrupulous means to an end of maintaining their power

  • he felt as though he could make a bigger difference than he was allowed if stated order relinquished their attempt at controlling him

  • this feeling was vindicated by his mother's torture and subsequent death

  • had his previously instilled beliefs challenged by two men he respected

  • incredibly strong motivation to go against the Jedi's wishes to save the one person he valued more than life itself
