Always wondered about that especially after Palps convinced vader that the Jedi were the treacherous conspirers but Palpatine was behind everything

[@theguybehindyou4762]

Vader is the most accurate depiction of a deal with the devil.

[@eaphantom9214]

2 emotions that come to mind. Shock and rage. All this time his friend, Chancellor Palpetine was Darth Sidious and the mastermind behind EVERYTHING. Like making a deal with the devil, HE ALONE benefits sooner or later... and Vader was just 1 of many cogs in his grand plan.

[@theguybehindyou4762]

"This Sith who we've been hunting is not only in a position to have influenced everything from the start, but also had me kill his last apprentice...clearly I should become his new underling!" Way to go, Darth Stupid!

[@Svartalfgeist]

Anakin was not even a planned cog. None of Palpatine's initial plans required Anakin to succeed

[@nicholastormey5946]

George Lucas was right when he said Palpatine represented the devil

[@theguybehindyou4762]

He's one of the best depictions of how he works.

[@joels5150]

The notion that Vader/Anakin at some point found out how meticulously Sidious orchestrated/ruined his life, and didn’t go nuclear, given his personality, is unfathomable. Anakin could never understand that his plans for ruling the galaxy with Padme were antithetical to anything she would have wanted. It would have been very poignant in ROTS, if Vader had told Padme, “I did all this for you (to save your life and make us the most powerful duo)” and her reply would have been, “I’d rather have died”. In canon, Vader spent most of the rest of his life thinking, “if only I’d had the chance”, it would have been more fitting for him to have learned that his ambitions would never have been realized, even if everything had gone the way he thought it should have. Deep down, he resented the Jedi’s rules, but he also despised the Sith’s outlook.

[@TotalWarGamer-hb4kd]

the reason he didn't go nuclear I think is bc 1) At the beginning of the empire , he was obsessed in hunting Jedi and looking for Obi wan 2) He knew at. that point he was vunerable bc of is suit. palpatine made sure of that. 3) He sacrificed his life, his friends, his troops and his loved ones bc of the Empire it's all he has now. 5) he believed in the empire at the start 6) Sidious was only who understood him other than him he alone and miserable, suffering and his own. suit.

[@jeffreyherndon5259]

It would be 30 years before Anakin would find out that “our child” was actually “our children”.

[@pranc236]

Just over 20 years but yeah.

[@aviad4878]

[@jeffreyherndon5259]

Ok, I can admit my math was off.

[@brandybrown8296]

The novelization is so superior in it's depiction of Anakin's fall. Palpatine took great measures to manipulate Anakin's emotional state in those last few months. He made sure the Anakin was emotionally spent and mentally exhausted to guarantee that all of the webs he had spun over the years would be easily accepted. Reading the book, you can feel how tired Anakin is. Further, the film illustrates his fall to the dark side as almost impulsive, spur of the moment. The novel details a rather long conversation between Palpatine and Anakin and leaves no doubt that Anakin chose the path. For me, that makes the deception even more shattering once it's realized. Palpatine was so good that he was able to twist Anakin into making a considered decision, one that he came to calmly instead of some regrettable decision we've all be guilty of making in a particular moment.

[@SHARKVADERS]

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

[@theforcedragon3781]

HOW CAN YOU BE ON THE COUNCIL AND NOT BE A MASTER?

[@Gor85]

Yes,this is really tragic. I can imagine how Anakin felt when he found out the truth. He was full of anger,hatred,he wanted revenge. Vader respected 501 clones and maybe loved them. They followed him everywhere. And followed Anakin in Clone Wars. Vader was slave to Palpatine. Pawn. It's understandable why he hated Palpatine so much. May the Force be with you too😊

[@elmermedina1713]

Anakin was a fool, by realizing Palpatine is Sidious and Dooku and Gunray's master, he should’ve realized Palpatine had threatened Padme numerous times.

[@NtheHecker]

Which is what ruined ep3 for me. He should have just extended his lightsaber a little bit after palps asked him if he would kill him. It made no sense for him not to...

[@samc9133]

​@@NtheHecker Being groomed from a young age will do that to ya. He's an emotional and psychological wreck, not stupid.

[@johnhosley6646]

Palpatine was the only one who told Anakin anything that he wanted to hear, Seriously.. Anakin didn't listen to Yoda who said be careful of fear of loss ,He didn't listen to Obi Wan when he said be careful of your friend Palpatine,And he didn't listen to Padme about the republic becoming the very thing they were fighting to prevent...He pretty much only heard what he wanted to hear,and couldn't see the devil right in front of him

[@NtheHecker]

@@johnhosley6646 Yes. basically he was an idiot. It wasn't very hard to see the truth right in front of him at that moment. Palps orchestrated the entire war. He caused the deaths of his friends and loved ones including Qui Gon. He even tried to kill his girl numerous times. Albeit indirectly. That's what ruined it for me. Palpatine was the clear mastermind and the only real enemy he had who had manipulated him all this time. You're telling me that this Whiney boy who so easily lost himself in anger tantrums and who got very violent numerous times couldn't bring himself to kill the obvious enemy that was in front of him?

[@johnhosley6646]

@@NtheHecker I agree 100% Anakin was a glorified crybaby basically,If he just snapped out of that poor me attitude,he would have had it all,That self pity held him back as Darth Vader too

[@MentalMachine]

If anything, Jango Fett was Anakin's friend on so many levels. At least different versions of Jango.

[@FiresprayXL]

How so?

[@theoperator2424]

@@FiresprayXLbecause Anakin never considered the clones to be expendable. The 501st battalion, later the 501st legion or better known as the”Vader’s fist” were his personal unit as both Anakin and Vader. He cared for these men and respected their bravery. In turn, they respected the Jedi who led them and later remained undying in their loyalty to the new Sith Lord. Some of the select few who knew Anakin became Vader. Ofc, Disney probably fucked that lore up too.

[@MentalMachine]

@theoperator2424 yea, i couldn't have said it better! When I was a kid I Played Battlefront 2 non stop, so for me, that's the lore

[@caseypiety1137]

Jango was nothing like most of the clones.

[@JxVasconez]

Jango wasn’t a clone or a soldier and boba wasn’t a soldier either. Anakin had pretty much no connection to Jango other than his likeness

[@MistaMagic52]

Ironic that Anakin grew up as a slave, and eventually became one again to Palpatine and the dark side.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

He sure got over it pretty quick huh? 10 minutes later he was kneeling in front of Palpatine.

[@samc9133]

He didn't exactly look "over it" in that scene. He looked pretty damned miserable/despairing to me.

[@philipchurch8772]

There are two different ways I can think of that Anakin was stupid in regards to this. If Anakin didn't understand that the Chancellor being the lead Sith Lord and the leader of the opposing faction being his apprentice meant that the war is a charade that means Anakin is stupid. If Anakin understood that but pledged his loyalty to Palpatine anyway that makes him stupid for a kind of hair of the dog solution. Since Anakin seems to openly back Palpatine's explanation about the Jedi coup it seems to be the former, at least consciously. I think in his heart of hearts Anakin knew the implications of Palpatine being the Sith Lord but chose him anyway because really did want that power. The Clone Wars show, to me, illustrated that Anakin had been Darth Vader throughout the war.

[@dawidschaffrath8426]

I think he understood that Palpatine is behind everything but saving Padme was worth much more.

[@philipchurch8772]

@dawidschaffrath8426 Of course, most or all threats to Padme's life were related to the war though.

The jedi would never have found him.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Cool 😎 video

[@GGBlaster]

I feel like a certain percentage of Vader’s retrospect is post hoc rationalization. Stuff that wasn’t actually accurate to his mindset at the time, but he feels better telling himself anyway.

[@reckszkingzactivitiesrkat.4134]

Palpatine is a true genius in the Star Wars galaxy of the way he toke the Sith teachings to a brand new level of brilliance from the prequels point in time then into the Empire era 👏🏾 That guy truly is a visionary in his own way.

[@shadeofshattered3]

He originally joined the dark side to save padme so what is his reasoning for being alive now

[@randallpetroelje3913]

He felt like I told the shit bag walking around and a machine, and doing the work of his master, but seeking to be the master. I think that Darth Vader if it wasn’t for his armor, could’ve definitely taken over the Empire.

[@MrMasterDebate]

6:10 oh my god, what a shock! It’s almost like if the Jedi weren’t going throw away a human being for admitting he had a relationship… and shown compassion …. It’s almost like he wouldn’t have betrayed them! It’s almost like the Jedi were terrible people at this point and deserved to be taken out

It makes so much sense that Anakin would vehemently hate Palpatine, even when he was all he had left the entirety of the Clone Wars only served to get Palpatine his empire. Anakin, the clones, padme, not even the Jedi mattered to Sidious anyone would hate someone who manipulated every single aspect of their life.

[@LordIchmael]

Despite his words, I wasn’t completely sure Anakin even realized Palpatine was behind everything at first. His actions in episode 3 made no sense to me unless he didn’t connect the dots (and even then it seemed a stretch).

[@Alduinhead]

He was pretty clearly sleep deprived in the film, just look at his eyes by the time he's in Palpy's office. The novelization says as much as well. Being sleep deprived doesn't usually lead to making the wisest decisions

[@jonathanlogsdon6760]

If you watch all The deleted scenes it makes a lot more sense. I wish they wouldn’t have cut so much from the original cut

[@lordofpain3476]

Let's remember for one moment that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was the legal head of the Galactic Republic at the moment Mace Windu and three other council members entered into his office and ignited their weapons . Mace Windu had no legal authorization to arrest Chancellor Palpatine , much less threaten his life . Chancellor Palpatine killed 3 council members in self defense . Anakin entered the Chancellor's office and witnessed Mace Windu attempting to assassinate the Chancellor with his own eyes . Anakin told Mace Windu not to kill the Chancellor , but Mace Windu felt that he and the rest of the jedi were above the law . Instead of killed Mace Windu , Anakin merely disarmed him in accordance with the jedi way . Chancellor Palpatine Palpatine used force lightning on Windu to end the confrontation . Mace Windu and the Jedi Council's actions led to the jedi being deemed guilty of treason . Anakin was the only one that DIDN'T break the law in this situation . And don't get me started on Obi-Wan's assassination attempt on Anakin or Yoda's assassination attempt on Emperor Palpatine . Fun fact : The Galactic Senate legally approved of Sheeve Palpatine's appointment as Emperor . ( they even applauded it . ) And since Lord Vader was a official representative of the Emperor and the Empire itself , everything that he did was lawful .

[@oglocbaby520]

That's exactly how it would have gone down politically unless they could prove that Palpatine was the one that orchestrated everything. Sure, we know that's what happened......but how are you going to convince the public, senate, courts, etc. something like that? There is nothing necessarily illegal about being a Sith.

it wasn’t just padme tho. he got power hungry once his mother died. he wanted to be so strong that death would be a minor inconvenience that could be fixed just like that. he didn’t get the rank of master which hurt his ego and fueled his fear of not being able to save another loved one. it seemed that there was only one man in the entire galaxy who understood the way he felt and the things he needed. he was promised great power, tho in the end his fear, anger and greed took away everything from him
