Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) turned evil primarily due to Palpatine's manipulation, exploiting his deep-seated fear of losing loved ones, especially his wife Padmé, and his resentment of the Jedi. Palpatine, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, promised Anakin the power to save Padmé from death, leading Anakin to betray the Jedi Order, embrace the dark side, and become Vader as the Emperor's enforcer.
Once the heroic Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force. Forever scarred by his defeat on Mustafar, Vader was transformed into a cybernetically-enhanced Sith Lord.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
Darth Vader was crippled with self-loathing after Mustafar, he hated himself for what he had done to Padme and their unborn child. He wanted to die but couldn't do it himself so he just threw himself into battle after battle, going through the motions of serving his master and destroying any last traces of the Jedi.
2+2= Luke I am your father. 2. Vader doesn't know his son's name until Boba tells him the pilots name is Luke Skywalker. He then puts it all together.
Perhaps the strongest factor in Darth Vader's failure to perceive that Leia Organa was his daughter was his own denial. Darth Vader simply couldn't bring himself to believe that Anakin Skywalker's child was still alive.
Sheev Palpatine (/ˈpælpətiːn/ PAL-pə-teen) is the main antagonist of the Star Wars franchise. He first appeared in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back as the Emperor. He is also known by his Sith name, Darth Sidious, which was first used in the novelization of the 1999 film The Phantom Menace.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
"Not from a Jedi." Sidious remembered Plagueis as a powerful Sith who discovered the ability to achieve immortality.
Anakin Skywalker, one of the main characters in the "Star Wars" films, meets the criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD).

In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
Luke's discipline and commitment to the Jedi way make him more powerful than Anakin in their primes.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
1. Luke Skywalker. Force Abilities: Telekinesis, The Jedi Mind Trick, Similfuturus, Levitation, Force Projection. Luke is indeed one of the strongest Jedi Knights who faced high-ranked menacing Sith lords Vader and Emperor.
Vader's betrayal cut deep, as he had been responsible for the destruction of her home planet, Alderaan, and the deaths of countless innocent people, including her adoptive parents. The revelation that Vader was her father must have been utterly shattering for Leia.
Ever since Return of the Jedi, Star Wars has reframed Luke and Leia's kiss as lacking real romantic intent - something Leia did solely to get a rise out of her real love interest, Han Solo.
