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.
There are four main mental heath issues what people usually believe Anakin struggles with: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), traumas, anger issues and abandonment issues.
Fear. In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda tells Anakin, “The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.” This statement, meant to be a warning to him, sadly becomes prophetic instead. Most Star Wars fans will say that Anakin's turn can be pinned down to his desire to save his wife Padmé.
Married at only 19 years old, Anakin was a young man struggling to find safety and stability, and his biggest wish in life was to keep his new family safe. What ultimately pushed him over the edge after a lifetime of battling light and dark was his desire to protect his loved ones.
Not only does Anakin have significant trust issues with his friend, but he believes that Obi-Wan is responsible for Padmé turning against him.
In Episode III, just before they are to set off on their respective missions, Obi-Wan and Anakin share a farewell. Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master.
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.
A recent study found that Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was the result of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
ANAKIN: I won't let this one become real, Padmé. This marks the beginning of Anakin's obsessive fear about losing Padmé. He's not being entirely unreasonable, though; the last time he had these terrible dreams was when his mother was being tortured by the Sand People, and he got there too late to rescue her.
However, when they next met in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Anakin and Padmé's feelings for one another grew into something resembling love, and their wedding at the end of the film solidified their relationship as one of the most important romances in Star Wars history.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
Sadly the Clone Wars would have still happened, but Padmé would have also survived, giving birth to Luke and Leia who would have probably been inducted into the Jedi Order. As for what would have happened between the two, with their marriage and all, that's a bit tricky.
Anakin would have likely been killed by the clone troopers, along with the other Jedi. However, perhaps he would have escaped. He would have taken the pregnant Padme with him. He would have needed to get as far away from the eventual Empire as possible, so perhaps they would have gone with Yoda to Dagobah?
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.
Early on, they realized that Anakin Skywalker was filled with fear and had little control over his emotions, so they were hesitant in training him to be a Jedi. However, they allowed it to happen. Ultimately, they played a large role in pushing Anakin towards the dark side of the Force.
The story is Anakin was manipulated to the dark side by Palpatine based on fears of losing Padme and appeals to his desire power and agency, over his life and the galaxy as a whole. Part of me wonders why he believed/ trusted Palpatine to begin with.
Anakin's unhealthy link between his love and attachment is perfectly explained in Clone Wars: Overlords. He admits “The only love I feel in my heart is haunted by what would happen should (if) I let go.” Anakin is never happy, not even with Padmé, because he is constantly afraid what will happen to him if he loses her.
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.
The maverick Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn comes before the Jedi High Council, which Windu is a member of, and offers to train Anakin Skywalker, believing that the boy is the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy. Windu and the other Council members decline, deeming Anakin too old and full of fear.
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.
Anakin: 165 - 170. Count Dooku: 160 - 165. Revan: 160. Mace Windu: 155.
As an addendum to what Infantry said: Sidious didn't ask to the med droids to put anesthesia in Anakin on purpose. He wanted him awake in order to feel the pain during the whole procedure, since pain is part of the Sith philosophy of life. Vader being born out of pain was not only metaphorical, but also literal.
Of course, Obi-Wan didn't finish Anakin off ten years ago on Mustafar because he didn't want to be the one to strike the killing blow on a man that he loved like a brother.
He explained to Luke, “I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong.” His guilt was apparent in Revenge of the Sith, when he explicitly told Anakin in the heat of their duel on Mustafar, “I have failed you, Anakin.
