The Jedi are so needlessly neglectful towards Anakin in their attempt to try to teach him to be emotionally detached, and then they wonder why he became loyal to the only guy who would actually listen to him (even if it was just to use him).


The Jedi: Emotionally neglect Anakin for years

Anakin turns on them

The Jedi: ...

Centuries of training padawans and no one thought about reading some child development theory.

Ok, but the Padme deal was dope

Not blowing any of the extended lore and based on the prequels it seems more like ani just forgot about his mom till he went to visit that one time

It is okay, Darth Vader is the lead protagonist in the Star Wars universe. Without him, the Emperor would never have been defeated.

He is the one that goes through the hero's arc.

Luke Skywalker was a complete failure in every way possible. The only thing he succeeded at was being so worthless that Vader finally had to act and save both his son and the universe.

There is great video on how the Jedi teachings of no emotion and complete detachement are awful for anyone who would attempt them and directly lead to his turn to the dark side.

Anakin really needed to be aged up in the prequels. The story is much more interesting if he's just a little younger than Obi-Wan
