if you would join us hey everyone how are you all doing today today we're
gonna do another video on the legends book that takes place right before
episode 3 labyrinth of evil by James Susanoo now I came across a passage
where Palpatine contacts and it can personally be a hologram
while the young Jedi is struggling with his anger but I found intriguing about
their conversation is that it reveals how unknown to Anakin Palpatine is
already giving him Sith teachings trying to push him to the dark side it becomes
clear as they continue their discussion and bring up Anakin's confession of what
he did to the Tuscans that killed his mother that this isn't the first time
either that Palpatine has tried to pull Anakin
further towards him and away from the Jedi for those of you who are unfamiliar
with the story let me quickly catch you up Anakin and
obi-wan are on a mission to uncover the hidden whereabouts and identity of Darth
Sidious and the Dark Lord has reason to be concerned as thanks to neut gunray's
incompetence the Jedi have gotten their hands on the mech no chair that the
Viceroy uses to communicate directly with Sidious the Sith technology could
help lead the Republic's protectors right on the path to their ancient enemy
while obi-wan is off talking strategy with Yoda Anakin is watching over the
Republic technicians who are handling the mech no chair because of Anakin's
young age the experienced crew are somewhat dismissive of the future Sith
Lord here's the excerpt and then we can talk about it he cut his eyes to the
three human technicians who were fitting the mech no chair into a crash foam
safety harness one of them was working too fast and almost knocked the chair
over Anakin shot to his feet and stormed across the bay be careful with that he
shouted the oldest of the three gave him a scornful glance relax kid we know our
job kid he waved his hand calling on the force to keep the mech no chair fixed in
place the three texts trained to move it baffled until they realized what Anakin
had done then the same one straightened and glared alright let go of it when I'm
convinced you actually know what you're doing look kid
Anakin build his brows and anger and advanced a step the three Tech's began
to back away from the chair they're afraid of me
they've heard about me for an instant their fear empowered him
then he felt shame and averted his glance the eldest was holding up his
hands take it easy Jedi I didn't mean to
offend you pack it yourself if you want to another said and it can swallowed
hard it's important that's all I don't want anything to happen to it he
let the MEK know chair settle to the floor carefully this time the eldest
said refusing to so much as a glance at Anakin general Skywalker
a trooper called from behind him Anakin turned saw the trooper motioning to the
shuttle hyper wave coma for you from the office of the Supreme Chancellor now the
three technicians looked at him again as well they should without a word Anakin
spun on his heel and ascended the shuttles boarding ramp above a hollow
projector plate in the ship's comm center a flickering image of Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine was resolving when Anakin had positioned himself on the
transmission grate Palpatine smiled congratulations Anakin on your victory
at Cato Neimoidia thank you sir but I'm sorry to report that Viceroy Gunray
escaped and that fighting continues in the rock arc cities Palpatine smile
faltered yes I was informed as such it wasn't the first time Anakin had heard
from Palpatine in the field at jobim Palpatine had ordered Anakin to retreat
before the planet fell to the separatists at prasit LAN he had praised
Anakin for having saved the day still the communications were often as awkward
as they were flattering what's wrong my boy popteen asked I sense that you're
troubled about something if it involves Gunray accept my word that he won't be
able to hide from us forever none of them will one day you'll have your
chance for complete victory Anakin wet his lips it's not about gun
razor just a small incident here made me angry what incident Anakin was tempted
to disclose the details of his and Obi Wan's discovery but Yoda had told him to
remain silent about the MEK no chair nothing important
he said but I always feel guilty when I become angry that's a mistake
Palpatine said gently anger is natural Anakin I thought we'd been through all
this regarding what took place on Tatooine obi-wan doesn't show anger
except of course at me even then it's more like aggravation Anakin you're a
passionate young man that's what separates you from
the Jedi comrades unlike Obi one and the others you
weren't raised in the temple where younglings are taught to conquer the
anger by transcending it you enjoyed a natural childhood you can dream you have
imagination and vision you're not some unthinking machine some heartless piece
of technology not that I am suggesting that the Jedi are captain was quick to
add but for someone like you any threat to someone or something important to you
is likely to evoke an emotional response it happened with your mother it will
have been again but you shouldn't fight those responses learn from them but
don't fight them Anakin suppress an impulse to reveal his
marriage to Padme as well do you think I am immune to anger Palpatine said into
the short silence I've never seen you angry well perhaps I have grown adapted
reserving my anger for private moments but it grows more difficult to do so in
the face of the frustrations I faced with the Senate with the way this WAP
resists oh I know that you and the other Jedi are doing everything you can but
the Jedi Council and I don't always see eye to eye on how this war should be
waged you know my love for the Republic knows no bounds that's why I'm
struggling so hard to keep it from falling to pieces
Anakin force to breath the Senate should simply follow your lead
instead they block you they tie your hands does if they envy the power they
gave you yes my boy and he do but many support me as well more importance we
must abide by the rules and regulations of the Constitution or else we are no
better than those who stand in the way of freedom some individuals should be
above the rules and it can grumbled at a case can be made for it and indeed you
are one of those people Anakin but you must know when to
and when not to Anika nodded and I understand Palpatine is endorsing the
virtues of anger and feeding Anakin's inflated ego here to make him feel
separate from the Jedi Order he's allowing him to trust his emotions and
go wild with them to embrace them now I left in the part with the Republic
technicians as I felt it demonstrated the struggle Anakin hands with all his
power he wants to be altruistic to be the perfect Jedi but also to be admired
and respected and sometimes feared the crew showed him disrespect at least in
his mind and he immediately wanted to display his power his superiority which
causes him to feel shame Palpatine seized upon that jumble of contradicting
emotions to continue gradually turning Anakin telling him that no no no you
shouldn't hide your emotions you shouldn't stop from feeling the way you
do you're not a mindless machine like the Jedi you were raised to be a young
boy on Tatooine with hopes and dreams and you should use those it's something
the Jedi don't have now this is all something he's done throughout the war
this is why I like to read the books Canon or not they can really dig deep
into the characters well one of the critiques of the movie from Revenge of
the Sith is that Anakin's Falls seemed to come out of nowhere he's good one
minute then snap instant child killer but if you read this book and then right
after as I've mentioned before the book version of Episode three his turn to the
dark side isn't immediate at all and makes a lot more sense you can also
understand this more from the video I made a few years ago which has now over
2 million views explaining why Hayden Christensen did such an amazing job
acting as Anakin Skywalker it's a really good video and if you haven't checked it
out I highly recommend it they might just change your view or at
least rot in it as Palpatine would say anyways guys thanks for watching this
video I really only get to do this channel because of you and it's you guys
that keeps me going so I really appreciate it I love you all and I'll
see you in the next video until then remember the force will be with you
always
fulfill your destiny
Oh
