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 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.
In Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader slaughtered Younglings to cement his position as Palpatine's apprentice - but he was still haunted by this after The Empire Strikes Back.
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.
He killed the younglings because Palpatine told him all the Jedi must be killed and then AND ONLY THEN will he have enough power to save Padmé.
As we know, Vader was killing children before he even got his suit on, but those were Jedi younglings and so future potential threats. Vader doesn't kill right and left just to be “evil.” A random kid hugging him would presumably be brushed rather brusquely aside, but that would be all.
In Star Wars canon, there are currently only four younglings that are known to have survived the infamous Order 66 and Darth Vader's slaughter, while in Legends, there are 20 known survivors.
He betrays his closest friend in hopes that, somehow, he can save others. Ultimately, the tragedy found in Anakin's willingness to rebrand himself as Darth Vader is that he betrayed himself. His forfeit of himself surrendered the capability of becoming great without having to concede to the Dark Side.
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.
Luke Skywalker Is The One Person In Star Wars Darth Vader Fears. In Star Wars: Darth Vader #36 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco, Darth Vader eliminates an entire army of droids who plotted to assassinate him while his 'allies', Aphra and Ochi, watch from the sidelines.
Darth Vader hated Obi-Wan Kenobi because he hated himself. This started when he thought that Kenobi was the one that poisoned Padmé into turning against Anakin when he turned to the dark side. But the truth was that Anakin was merely projecting his own self-hatred toward Obi-Wan.
In conclusion, Darth Vader is the ultimate villain for a variety of reasons. He's powerful, intimidating, ruthless, enigmatic, and symbolic, and his tragic backstory makes him a sympathetic villain. He's also one of the most memorable villains in popular culture, with his iconic appearance and menacing presence.
Yes, his entire character since then was a self loathing tragic monster who has little reason to care about anything. Betraying Mace Windu instantly made him regret his act of impulse, Padme's death and rejection of his actions later on made it stick.
He also had no lover for a few reasons, he would never get over Padme she was to much to him. He was in a massive black suit that was probably fairly intimidating to women he also had a reputation of force choking those who displeased him. Probably not high on anyone's Valentine's Day list.
David Porter provides some great philosophical context to why Obi-Wan would not regret leaving Anakin alive, as it was obviously “the will of the Force” that Obi-Wan be unable to finish him off, and “the will of the Force” that Anakin live on to kill Sidious himself in the future.
A recent study found that Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was the result of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
At least partially, Padmé is experiencing a kind of Stockholm Syndrome or more specifically, the idea of equating affection with crime, a disorder known as hybristophilia. Anakin confesses his crime of killing the Sand People to Padmé, and later, she totally tells him she loves him.
Padme's death fuels his rage, and his rage dictates his actions. It is only when he saw Luke, when he lost his anger for a second and felt his love for his son.
Grand Moff Tarkin. Although his status in the Empire may rival or even surpass Vader's own, Vader nonetheless respected Tarkin a lot, for many reasons. He thought Tarkin as one of the more competent and dedicated Imperial officers, with a sense of honor and being able to inspire loyalty in his subordinates.

Although not technically correct, people would refer to a Jedi that's higher in rank than them simply by calling them master. It was a form of showing respect. However, sometimes people were jerks and corrected people when they incorrectly called someone a master. "Oh, he's not a master yet.
The Dark Side does that to Force Users when they are fully immersed in it. Anakin/Vader was full of rage and a good deal of pain, after he burned it was literally only the Dark Side keeping him alive so his eyes were yellow as he was calling on it constantly to sustain him.
