    When watching you'll notice how Anakin gets angrier and darker as the years get closer to Revenge of the Sith. It's also interesting to note he mostly loses his temper when trying to protect someone he cares about.

      I hate how he became Vader. But it has his destiny to become Vader. I watched the whole series of TCWs, twice actually, and every time I was hoping he would NOT become Vader. Sure, Vader is a bad mofo, but he did not deserve that life. He lost so much, it's hurtful. I hope they bring back Anakin in Episode IX, since they're bringing back Emperor Palpatine. Anakin was supposed to be in Episode VII, or VIII, but they canned it. Nah, man, bring him back. Not Vader, but Anakin, the Chosen One!

      The Jedi Order insists on having no feeling ever, you're not allowed to love, you're not allowed to care, you're not allowed to step outside of their laws, everything is purely governed almost by a flow chart, which leads to people hating them.

      yoda could see his descent into the dark side of arrogance, anger, growing cruelty, hatred and greed as did others. Not once ever did any of them pull anakin off from the war to coach him in dealing with his traumas so it doesn't destroy him. Nor did they teach him to deal with his PTSD over his slave upbringing to his mothers death to full scale wars. Yoda and obi wan are just as responsible for darth vader as darth sidious was. Inaction is just as guilty as the temptation. Think of how different he would have turned out with a year of healing meditations and guidance to forgiveness/mental recovery after the death of his mother instead of throwing a unstable super powerful Jedi into war.

    Anakin has been a slave for his entire existance, never a master himself, until his death.
    Born into slavery. When he became a Jedi and thought he could say goodbye to his life as a slave, he still ended up with people who told him what to do and what to think.
    And even though everyone kept saying how great his skills are and how he's the "Chosen one", he was always seemingly pushed down. It must've been the part where he was declared "part of the council, but denied the title of Master" that must've really cemented in his mind that he was never gonna be free at this rate. I believe that's why he desired the rank of Master so badly.
    Palpatine always gave him the impression that he deserved more than he was given and often "helped" him make decisions for himself, giving only more reason to trust him over the Jedi Order, which was clearly flawed.
    Sadly, it was all a trick and he ended up once more being a slave to a master.
    Darth Vader must've delusioned himself to be bigger than he was or accepted that he was forever doomed to be a slave from begin to end.

    He was lied to by the Council and told to suppress his emotions on many occasions, was consistently doing all the major missions whilst other masters on the Council practically never left the Temple, thought he'd seen his best friend killed, lost his padawan whom he loved like family because she'd been wrongly accused and lost faith in the Order, then had visions of his pregnant wife dying and the only guy to offer him a way to save her was the Sith Lord who'd been a constant ally and mentor to him.

      Indeed. This is why the Jedi are viewed almost negatively, they constantly say that emotions and attachments are a way to the dark side. To a short extent, they are right, but its only when those attachments are lost, that all of the bottled up emotions come out and a Jedi does/can fall into darkness. Anakin is an obvious example, but also Ventress, and Ulic Qel-Droma from the Old Republic era. they fell because of the loss of attachments.

    I like how Anakin values the connections he’s made with people and robots alike. He is angered when Obi-Wan discredits Anakin’s worries of R2’s safety, you can tell this is a kid who valued the only real relationship he had with his mother before he was taken in by the Jedi. And after losing her, he is convicted to keep hold onto the bonds he has left. This is the exact reason as to why he turns to the dark side, his fear of losing the people he loves. It’s such an amazingly personal story about how the life of one man can decide the fate of the whole world, much like many of history’s worst dictators. And yet, can you really blame Anakin? When he is told to sacrifice his bonds for the greater good, can you really expect someone to bow their head and follow dogmatically. Like Nietzsche said, ‘What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil’, and I think that applies especially well to the tragedy of Anakin.

      That's part of the bigger problem. Emotions in themselves are a path to the Dark side, but they aren't the Dark side. But the Jedi dogma puts them as such. The Jedi inherently cannot serve the living Force this way because all emotions dark or light are inherently aspects of the living Force. The Jedi lost their connection with the living Force, became stagnated and served the Senate over the living Force and they were destroyed. The Sith corrupt the force and are considered a cancer and were destroyed also.

    • @BlargeMan
      @BlargeMan Před 5 lety +576

      Exactly. The Jedi's Buddhist-like denial of one's self, one's emotion and passions, only works if you're born into it, and sometimes not even then. Anakin's soul was born into the fires of tribulation and suffering and made to feel impotent, worthless, and unimportant by everyone except his mother and a few friends until the age of 9. Because of this, his ego constantly craved satiation (especially after the revelation of the Prophecy and his powers, which were said to potentially be beyond any other Jedi), and no wonder he would have such a strong emotional attachment to his mother, to Padme, the only lover he'd ever known, to Ahsoka, one of his best friends and his only pupil whom he believed the Jedi had betrayed and failed, and finally to Obi-Wan, his best friend and mentor who he ultimately came to see as merely a puppet of the organization and ideology that had failed him, his loved ones, and the galaxy. Failed him because they told him his emotions and desires had no value in comparison to the responsibility he'd been given in bringing balance to the force, a responsibility he had never chosen, making him feel like a slave all over again. Failed him because instead of acknowledging the validity of his emotions and making him feel valued while ultimately trying to help him move past them and find a sense of peace, or at least be able to maintain control over them, they treated him like any normal Jedi student and basically just told him "emotion bad, serenity good," and chastised him whenever his emotions got the better of him. Qui-Gon perfectly understood that this was the wrong way to go about things and I feel that if he had trained Anakin, he would have turned out very differently.
      Then you add in to the mix a figure like Palpatine, another older, seemingly kindly mentor figure to Anakin who stoked the fires of Anakin's misgivings and doubts about the Jedi, who stroked his ego, who promised him what the Jedi could not deliver. It was a really masterful job on Palpatine's part.
      Finally, you add to the mix a terrible galaxy-wide war and the constant battles, and it's no wonder that Anakin turned out the way he did.
      When you really think about it, while Anakin still bears ultimate responsibility for everything he did and chose, he was as much a victim as he was a perpetrator.

Afraid to be vulnerable with those who avoid, lie or encourage him to accept the inevitability of death, he obsesses over the idea that he cannot trust people to be safe without him. Unfortunately, such obsession leads to the destruction of all relationships he encounters and ultimately himself.

      Admiral Ackbar from the complete saga
      that may be true by the end of return of the Jedi, but you can see with another watching of the original trilogy that Luke is more like his father than it would seem, in empire Luke is emotional, brash, reckless, and impulsive just like his father. In return of the Jedi he uses force choke against the guards in jabbas palace, Luke also puts his friends and allies at risk sending them in one by one to get caught by jabba showing his arrogance. In the fight in palpatines room on the Death Star we can see Luke becoming more and more aggressive until he overpowers dearth Vader cutting off his hand, it's only until he realized his faults that he becomes in balance and a true Jedi, this is character development that anakin in the prequels desperately needed to make him likable. Something that the makers of the clone wars understood, anakin in the cartoon is an amazing character.

    I hate how people say his turn to the darkside was sudden when there have been several times he's done something that against the jedi code and that he would turn to the darkside. His hatred has always been there and with the death of his mother, his love for padme, his unborn children, the jedi failing him wanting him to be the chosen one forcing that responsibility and wanting to make him a weapon, refusing him the rank of master when he had earned it, making him a peacekeeper but then making him a general of war, and the Jedis own self serving interests that betray the very code they preach about and break often, and in the scene with palpatine, Mace Windu says the same line Palpatine did at the beginning showing how the Jedi and sith were one in the same with just a difference in opinion and view, it was only a matter of time before he turned. Even if Sidious wasn't in the picture i believe he would of turned, sidious merely pushed Anakin more in the direction amd used what was already there.

    I love the subtle “Imperial March” that plays whenever Anakin gets tempted.

      I love how they zoom in on his machine arm sometimes as well.

    His love and care for ahsoka is really deep and nice to see. So to see him unfortunately turn dark and have to fight her it hurts

    19:14 Just one of many examples of Ahsoka being one of the things keeping Anakin stable. Ahsoka leaving was a major step into his descent.

      Love how toward the end of the series it really highlights the emotional turmoil she goes through and how deeply it affects Anakin. I think if everything that happened with Ahsoka & the council went differently he wouldn't have fallen from the light side as he did
