1. He held the rank of Jedi, but the Jedi Council were jealous and didn’t give Anakin what he deserved.

  2. He saw visions of his wife dying and was willing to do anything to save her, yes, including killing kids. This isn’t evil; this is true love.

  3. After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.

Justifiable crash-out, to be honest

    Anakin was portrated as a hot head and with poor impulse control in the Clone Wars series, the real hero and the greatest jedi on star wars was Obi-wan.

    He didn’t succumb to the dark side even when Satine died, he keep his promisses to train Anakin on the dying momments of Qui-Gon Jinn, he looked over and protect Luke on the sh*ithole of planet Tatooine and even in the end, he didn’t hesitate accept his fate and strenght his bond with the force

        I’m reading this now for the first time. All of the conversations between Palpatine and Anakin leading up to the fall add so much flavour to his fall. Worth a read for sure.
