Anakin’s fear of loss
A common theme in Star Wars is Anakin’s fear of loss. Anakin Skywalker spends the first decade of his life fearing for his mother and wife. This fear of loss is what drove him to turn to the dark side. He never knew that his actions would lead to the death of those he loved. In the end, his fear of loss ultimately turned him into a Sith. Anakin’s fear of loss led to his creation of the dark side of the Force.
After Anakin was abandoned by his mother, he becomes furious and kills everyone in his village, including the sand people. Anakin can’t forgive himself for his actions, and he blames himself for not returning to free his mother. The fear of loss leads Anakin to become violent and hateful, and he blames himself for his actions. However, Anakin’s feelings of guilt are often interpreted as hatred and anger. Anakin is so consumed by rage that he tries to justify his actions by butchering everyone in his village.
Despite his ferocious nature, Anakin’s fear of losing Padme contributes to the pain of the galaxy as a whole. Although Padme is Anakin’s most significant ally, her death was ultimately a failure. He was already headed toward the dark side anyway, but he feared losing her. And he blamed himself for the death of his mother. However, this fear never really subsided.
His distrust of the Jedi
The reasons for Anakin’s distrust of the Jedi are varied and complex. He is said to have lost his father and was disobeyed by Obi-Wan, who excluded him from the Jedi Order after revealing his deception. It was revealed that Anakin had a secret love affair with Padme and that she lied about the relationship to him. Later in Revenge of the Sith, Anakin becomes a Jedi, but had a number of close friends in the Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars. One of them was Ahsoka Tano.
Windu, a grey Jedi, had an honest distrust of Anakin and was doubtful of the prophecy, but was nonetheless impressed by Anakin’s abilities as a duelist and a powerful user of The Force. Anakin almost collapsed when he ran through the Jedi Temple. The fact that the Chancellor was a Sith Lord threw Anakin off guard. Nevertheless, the film demonstrates Anakin’s strength with the Force and his intelligence.
When Anakin was young, he was raised by Jedi masters, including Yoda and Obi-Wan. However, his distrust of the Jedi came from his failure to learn how to use the Force. This hampered his ability to lead the Jedi in their quest to save Padme. In the meantime, the Jedi are not happy with the way Anakin uses the Force and the results are disastrous for the Jedi.
His obsession with Padme
While Anakin was a good guy, he was destined for the dark side, after he killed two Jedi younglings and nearly choked his wife, Princess Padme. George Lucas deemed him the Chosen One, destined to strike a balance between the light and dark side of the Force. Anakin felt betrayed by the Jedi, believing that they were restraining him and did not trust him.
After his mother’s death, Anakin became increasingly isolated from his parents and the Jedi Order, which led him to the dark side. During this time, Anakin grew lonely, and sought the company of Padme. Padme returned his love and affection, and they became a secret marriage. It is possible that Anakin used his Jedi mind trick ability to seduce his mother. In Episode II, Anakin’s obsession with Padme led him to the dark side.
The relationship between Padme and Anakin was forbidden in the Jedi Order, but the young man’s love for Padme, a fellow Jedi, led him to turn to the dark side. While the Jedi saw Anakin’s love for Padme as a sign of weakness, Anakin was forced to change when Padme’s life was threatened. In his mind, Padme was the one responsible for Anakin’s fall, but she was not able to predict it.
