in Revenge of the Sith we see Anakin
take his final route to the dark side
and fulfill his destiny at the Emperor's
hand with all his evil actions such as
sacrificing Master Windu raiding the
Jedi Temple and killing the younglings
it seems unfitting for Anakin to be
crying to himself especially after his
eyes turned yellow on Mustafar
symbolizing pure evil and submission to
the dark side most believed that it was
because he was sad about killing the
enemies or for betraying the Jedi this
couldn't be further from the truth
it's unfortunate the movie leaves out so
much whereas the books fill in all the
gaps so the novelization as you guessed
it has our answer in full our scene
takes place just after Anakin murdered
all the separatist leaders on Mustafar
stepping outside to recollect on all
that he had done our scene begins after
killing all the separatist leaders
Palpatine's new apprentice had stepped
outside the mountain fortress was too
far to gaze at the blazing lava rivers
below he would not mourn for the lives
he had taken but for the loss of his
former self the boy who had dreamed of
becoming a Jedi he was unable to hold
back the tears that streamed down his
cheeks
Anakin Skywalker was gone or was he
after all
Padme had fallen in love with Anakin not
Darth Vader he had not anticipated that
Padme travelling with c-3po would follow
him to Mustafar and refute the
righteousness of his actions nor had he
foreseen that obi-wan would survive the
Jedi purge and that the deceitful Padme
would bring him with her despite his
powers and years of a tune min to
obi-wan his rage had blocked his ability
to sense his former masters presence on
Mustafar until he saw the Jedi standing
in the hatch Padme starship he also
never imagined that obi-wan possessed
the strength to bring him down so
[Music]
so this passage is from the rise and
fall of Darth Vader this answers two
things for us
why anakin didn't sense obi-wan and
Padma's ship but mainly our question
regarding his tears
he didn't care so much for what he did
to the Jedi he did indeed dislike them
and they're dogmatic beliefs leading me
to theorize that he visits Luke in
Episode eight and tells him why he
turned away from them and why he saw
through the lies of the Jedi which could
be why we hear Luke say it's time for
the Jedi to end it was Anakin's
detachment from himself that he began to
cry for a lot of people give Hayden a
hard time for his acting I think if we
realize just how difficult it is to act
when you're so conflicted emotionless
depressed and moody then we'd see he did
a pretty good job especially in the
scenes that are just pure emotion for
the most part at least in the
novelization it is stated that Vader
recollects his detachment from Anakin
was when he raided the Jedi Temple but
it can be seen here with his tears that
he truly felt the break between his old
self and the new Sith Lord he had become
I've made a somewhat recent video which
I'll have pop up in the last 20 seconds
of this one it outlines just how Anakin
Invader are two entirely different
people and how he and Palpatine saw it
this way as well Anakin was full of
hatred from the moment his mother died
he had a taste for the dark side and it
lingered within his thoughts ever since
that's how he defeated Dooku and how he
lived the rest of his days until he
turned it into Darth Vader in one of the
now Legends comics Obi one witnessed
Anakin when he was still a very young
padawan using force fire against an
enemy and burnt them to death this just
goes to show the mind frame and power
anakin possessed from a small age I
suspect this is why ahsoka left the Jedi
Order she saw the flaw in the code and
found her own way as grey Jedi which we
later seen rebels the book also throws a
quick fanfiction idea s it explains
during Vader's thoughts about was too
far he wondered what would have happened
if he never acts
or in other words left with Padme
he then leads to think about himself
sitting atop a throne on corset with
Padme and his children that would surely
have changed a lot of things I think it
would make for an interesting fanfiction
you can let me know if you want me to do
that in the comments below what do you
think of Anakin's crying on Mustafar do
you think he was ever truly killed off
and Vader took over entirely or there
was always a little sliver of him in
there a grain of sand if you will thanks
for watching today's episode I born I'll
see you all in tomorrow's episode of
Star Wars theme tune into the Facebook
page for more giveaways and until then
remember the force be with you
