Burying the Dead

Exactly, until the end Anakin just wanted to arrest Palpatine and discover the secret to save Padme, he still trusted Mace until he tried to kill Palpatine, in a way what the Emperor said about Luke applied to Anakin as well, because despite all of it he saw the emperor as a father figure and could not help but stop Mace from killing him, Anakin´s compassion for Palpatine was his undoing.

Add the darkside that acts like a drug on someone who has not eaten or sleept in days and we have and psychotic break. That´s how I saw Anakin´s tragedy of EP III and I believe only Padme, who was used/abused/manipulated by Palpatine on EP I realized what really happened to Anakin.

People keep on tryin' to replace Anakin with Fox.

Why would Palpatine give a kriff about a Clone w/o Force powers, let alone the effing Chosen One? Fox has guaranteed obedience.

Yes, Palpatine dedicated 13 years of his life grooming Anakin and he had to isolate him first and get him after he had days without sleeping or eating, Anakin definitely wasn´t easy to turn and I believe that speaks of his strong will.

That was Palpatine intention too, to drive Anakin to this point until his mind gave out and he was the only one around for Anakin to ask for help. In the novels he made sure all of Anakin´s time on Coruscant was spend as his personal bodyguard, giving the appareance to Padme and Obi.Wan that Anakin supported him politically, he even offers to buy him a star ship, a planet, he offers to end the clone wars that same day while Anakin can´t think because his head hurts too much it´s by the book torture and brainwashing until the subject gives out but I guess it´s more funny to make this whole situation a meme le sigh :(

“But why must you confront him?”

“Because there is good in him; I felt it. He won’t turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him; I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try.”

best scene in the prequels is when anakin and padme have just landed on naboo & padme goes “hmm being a childqueen might’ve fucked me up a bit” and anakin, former 9yo slave separated from his mom, confronted for perhaps the first time with the idea that childhood trauma effects you later in life, goes “nuh uh”

ttpd is sooooooooo anakin and it’s crazy

not a jedi

So I was thinking about a post I saw a while ago and it made me realize that I believe it didn´t really occur to Anakin that Padme was too young as a 14 year old Queen because he was a 9 year old slave and already making adult decisions, like:

Sure, I will risk my life to give you the ship parts you need new friends.

I will sacrifice the pod I built with many sacrifices that I wanted to use to escape with my Mom once I got her and my slave chip out of her body with my self made slave chip detector.

I know exactly how to cheat on my owner, I have know him all my life actually and he loves gambling.

Sebulba, leave Jar Jar alone, you could kill me instead but then you would have to pay for me so go away.

I built a droid to help Mom around the house and I am also looking after grandma Jira here, fixing her things so the heat doesn´t get too much for her.

Do you need the droid army that is invading Naboo stopped? No problem, I will just destroy their main star chip and I didn´t even get out of place as Master Qui-Gon Sir asked me to.

Then Anakin became a padawan and was send to missions in which he had to use his lightsaber to get out of "negotiations"

So of course he defended Padme being a Queen at 14, to him her words about being happy for being relieved of so much responsibility sounded as if she thought she was doing a bad job with her planet, that´s why he told her he heard people were so pleased with her they wanted to keep her more time as their Queen. He thought she was selling herself short.

I believe the whole, "too young to be doing this" only beat Anakin in the face when he was send Ahsoka in the middle of a war zone.

I mean, he called her a "youngling" not even a padawan, he most definitely didn´t want to be training a 14 year old youngling in the middle of a war zone and he only accepted because he saw how sad Ahsoka looked when she thought he didn´t want her.

Ahsoka just had to invoke a little bit of tears and she already had him grapped around her little finger.

Anakin: Sure I am supposed to be your Jedi master and you should call me master but we are in the middle of a war zone, we both could die tomorrow, your situation sucks Snips and you are too young yet to notice it so of course you may call me skyguy to your heart content.

He is actually worse with Luke, honestly, it didn´t matter to him his little boy already destroyed the death star in ANH and his Master was calling for his head because he could become a Jedi and try to kill both of them, to Vader he was just "a boy"

In ESB Vader was at the parenting stage of thinking about Luke like, that´s my baby, nobody can touch him or his friends until I say so ok?

So he can recognize when someone was too young to be send to war, slavery or fight his Sith Master and he was right most of the time, except when it´s about himself and his perfect Queen Padme, they were veteran kids just doing their jobs.

Love him honestly :D
