Visions of Obi-Wan. The comic opens during the last moments of Revenge of the Sith, recreating the well-memed instance when a despondent, freshly-armored Vader cries out with a drawling “nooooooo” over how much he's lost.
Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master. Obi-Wan assures Anakin that he is proud of him, telling him that he has become a "far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be."
For years, Vader hated Obi-Wan, having been struck down by his mentor and left for dead while also believing the Jedi had worked to turn his true love Padmé against him. However, there's another, far darker reason Vader hated Obi-Wan so obsessively.
During the fight, Obi-Wan slashes Darth Vader's helmet, revealing Anakin Skywalker's burned face. This stops Obi-Wan in his tracks as he is overcome with sadness and guilt about what happened to his friend.
Did Darth Vader ever regret killing Obi-Wan Kenobi in Canon or EU? He does. Right at the end. With Luke crying over him and Vader sensing his anguish and pain he had inflicted on all those who had cared for him.
It is unclear whether Yoda would be more or less forgiving than Obi-Wan but one thing is certain - the former Grand Master would be ready to treat Anakin as an ally, following the events on the second Death Star. In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005), Yoda never really lost faith in Anakin in the way Obi-Wan did.
The Jedi Council's Rules on Attachments
The choice to leave his mother at a young age continues to haunt Anakin throughout his life. He is plagued by nightmares of her and visions of her fate. When he eventually saves her from a group of Tuskens on Tatooine, his blind anger at her dying state consumes him.
Now we know why Anakin Skywalker said Obi-Wan was "holding me back!" “I'm really ahead of him.” In Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker makes this casual boast about his master to Padmé Amidala and later, claims “It's all Obi-Wan's fault! He's jealous!
Yes, when Darth Vader turned back to Anakin Skywalker and sacrifice himself to save his son, he dies and Obi-Wan uses the force to connect with Anakin's spirit. In that time Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan, desperately asking him to forgive him for everything he has done to him and everybody over the years.
In the material around the film from the Legends timeline, it's established that by the end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Kenobi was one of the characters who knew Anakin's Sith name was Darth Vader. However, what he didn't know was that he was still alive after Mustafar.
Vader responded “I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” This allows Obi-Wan to finally accept that Anakin is truly gone and that there was nothing he could have realistically done to save him.
He sacrificed himself to help Luke, Leia and Han escape the Death Star. He didn't want Luke to become embroiled in the fight. He knew he was going to lose eventually.
Why didn't Obi-Wan pull Anakin out of the lava before he burned? By that point Obi-Wan knew that Anakin was un-savable. Anakin needed to be killed to keep him from turning into a galactic dictator. But Obi-Wan couldn't bring himself to kill someone he considered a brother.
Abstract. Anakin Skywalker, one of the main characters in the "Star Wars" films, meets the criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD).
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred and pain, fueling his descent even further into the dark side. Those negative emotions also power the dark side, meaning Anakin likely felt stronger as he killed the younglings.
Apparently, he had borderline personality disorder. As he came of age, Skywalker showed problems with impulsivity, violent outburst, illusions of invincibility and crises of identity, all of which are in line with borderline personality disorder diagnosis, the researchers concluded.
Yoda didn't specifically know how this would go down, or to what degree Anakin would cause it to happen, but he was playing a much longer game by Revenge of the Sith, and that's at least, in part, explained by Yoda's Force connection with Qui-Gon's spirit.
Padmé was repulsed, and with the appearance of Obi-Wan (who had stowed away on her ship), Anakin assumed his wife had betrayed him, and he Force choked her.
Master Yoda knew that Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker- the boy he sensed too much fear in to train way back in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
The added risk Darth Vader takes in allowing children to live in a situation where he could have killed them proves that he regrets killing Younglings and will avoid harming any more children for the rest of his days, though intense intimidation is a dark strategy to avoid repeating his Youngling massacre.
The short answer is yes, without a doubt, Vader regretted becoming a cybernetic monstrosity. First, there's the constant pain and discomfort from his suit. Worse, however, is the psychological pain. Vader destroyed everything he had ever known for a chance to save Padme.
