Fallen Heroes


Anakin was a confident young Jedi. He was the chosen one. Due to his rough childhood, he grew up wanting to be the most powerful Jedi, he could be. He was hungry for power and selfish, this caused Anakin to ally himself with the dark side. This was one of Anakin's very own mistakes; he ends up being unsuccessful and in turn the enemy.
                         Anakin became Darth Vader because of his lust for power. The chancellor had convinced him to become Darth Vader and save his wife from dying during childbirth. Anakin and the chancellor became very close. This caused Anakin to make very poor decisions to save their friendship. He was put on the Jedi council. The Jedi council wanted Anakin to spy on the chancellor but he didn't want to, as a result he told the chancellor. By doing so, Anakin demonstrated his loyal to the chancellor. 
                             Loyalty to the chancellor meant a lot for Anakin, as a direct impact of this, it will play a huge role in his ultimate fall. The chancellor lied to Anakin because he was weak and occasionally showed selfishness. Anakin was devoted to serving the chancellor; as a result, he became Darth Vader.
Anakin could have been the most powerful Jedi if only; he was pure and made the right choices. He wanted to save his wife; his anger killed her as a result. It all began to fall for Anakin. He murdered young Jedi's, caused the death of master Windu: marking the beginning of the end for Anakin. Many would argue that Anakin could have saved himself, but I will argue that he couldn't renew his faith because he had already done so much damage to himself after so many wrong decisions.
                                            As a result, Anakin became the beast he sought not to become. Killed his wife and became Darth Vader, a sith. He also became the enemy of democracy and partners with the chancellor. Anakin will later realize that the dark side is not the solution to the problems he was facing and that he himself is the problem.
