The following contains spoilers from Star Wars: Yoda #1, on sale now from Marvel Comics. In the annals of Star Wars history, many believe Obi-Wan Kenobi was the key to saving Anakin Skywalker's soul before his fall as Darth Vader.
Although the decision to turn to the Dark Side was Anakin's alone, the choice did not come from thin air. His natural prone to impulsivity and emotion without the support systems he needed in place made it easier for Anakin to stumble down a path of darkness.
Obi-Wan Kenobi blamed himself for Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side, and he was right - but not for the reasons he believed to be the case. Star Wars has confirmed that Obi-Wan's mistakes with Anakin Skywalker made his fall to the dark side - and transformation into Darth Vader - inevitable.
Abstract. Anakin Skywalker, one of the main characters in the "Star Wars" films, meets the criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Yes Anakin was smart for his age, but whether or not he has a Genius IQ of 160 in our world is really kind of indeterminable.
Indeed, Skywalker exhibited six out of nine of the borderline personality disorder criteria laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV), although fitting five is enough for a diagnosis.
Qui-Gon Jinn is seen by many as the best of the Star Wars prequel era's Jedi, and there is evidence that he could have even stopped Anakin Skywalker from falling to the dark side of the Force.
We go for the more simple answer, further considering the details of the question itself. If Anakin didn't go into that chamber as the Jedi confronted Palpatine, then Mace Windu would have defeated Palpatine, killing him.
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.
Though one thing is for certain: Kylo Ren/Ben Solo does not have yellow eyes because he's not "corrupted" by the Dark Side. This isn't a bad answer, though it does go off on a tangent.
Why was Anakin afraid of losing Padme? Letting her go just might have saved her life and the Jedi Order. So, clearly, Anakin never actually loved Padmé. He was simply afraid of being alone and losing the one that loved him, and that is only greed, attachment and selfishness, not love.
And while they're not necessarily wrong, the sudden change makes complete sense from Anakin's point of view. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones shows how problematic Anakin is; he disobeys the Jedi council, slaughters the Tusken women and children, and even goes as far as to marry in secret.
If he were to take his mask off, the Sith Lord would soon suffocate. So it's the most crucial part of his armor. He can only breathe without the need for his mask when he is in one of his meditation chambers seen in The Empire Strikes Back.

Palpatine may still have eventually traded Dooku in for a newer apprentice, but nothing would have hindered his rise to power. Had Qui-Gon trained Anakin and kept him far from Palpatine, Anakin might have eventually died in the Clone Wars and been completely unable to fulfill any Chosen One prophecies.
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.
Had Anakin not converted: Padme would have been killed by the Emperor before childbirth, and before Anakin and Obi wan returned from the mission to destroy general Grievous. Regardless: order 66 probably still would have happened since the army was under control of the dicator in Palpatine.
The reason why Anakin couldn't use it was that it was a highly specialized discipline that only Jedi Masters and specially-trained Jedi healers used.
One of the main reasons why Yoda would've won against Anakin is simply because he was far better trained than him. Yoda could see the moves his opponents were going to make before they made them; therefore, battling against Anakin would've put him at a far heavier advantage.
But Anakin would not have been there to intervene. Even if Palps still defeated Windu and the rest without Anakin, he would have been forced to implement order 66. He couldn't risk the rest of the Jedi (especially Yoda) returning to overthrow or kill him.
Anakin does not have even the slightest bit of remorse. By the end, he feels nothing but anger. Although he feels regret for killing Padme, he still helps the evil Emperor. The film ends with Anakins standing side by side with the man on whose behalf he has committed all his crimes.
130–150 would be around the range which I would estimate his IQ to be.

They both served the Sith Lord Darth Vader as his personal medical caretakers. The nurse became obsessed and psychotically in love with the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Individuals living with quiet BPD may have decreased levels of empathy, high conflict relationships, clinginess and fear of abandonment, adds Dr. Lira de la Rosa. “The combination of these symptoms can lead to unstable interpersonal relationships, low self-esteem and periods of depression.”
