    I love how there are two periods both under the name Knightfall that are the “deaths” of two beloved characters. Batman and Anakin
    Operation Knightfall and The Knightfall Protocol.

    So this is my best guess but I'd say this: Anakin didn't enjoy killing the Jedi, he enjoyed butchering the Separatist Council.
    In other words, sith eyes also have something to do with intense feelings such as anger/hate, pain or even passion.
    In the Revenge of the Sith Novelization, as Anakin/Vader is massacring the Separatists, he's cracking jokes and even smiling at times as he cuts someone down.
    At one point, one of the Separatists, Shu Mai, basically says "I was promised a handsome reward!"
    Anakin in a way responds, "What? You don't find me handsome?" The he beheaded her.

    As much as Anakin had a hard time within the Jedi Order that didn’t mean that he had negative feelings towards the members of the Jedi Order, and you could feel that this was the singular event that Anakin was struggling with himself during his fall, but it was also a very painful experience that he couldn’t fully used it to become a more powerful dark side user as he still loved the Jedi.

  • @InfiniteNaos
    @InfiniteNaos 3 місяці тому +9

    One thing to consider. Though Anakin didn’t like the Jedi way too much when it comes to action or purpose he still decided he needed to eradicate it based on how far the Jedi had fallen from the Light combined with needing the information to save Padme’s life.
    He did what he thought was the only way to save those closest to him and if it was to adopt the way of the Sith then so be it.
    Though his Sith trial came in the form of slaughtering the Separatist on Mustafar as they were his enemies during the Clone Wars.
    I never saw Anakin as being a hateful or evil person, but he made his own share of mistakes when those closets to him were on the line.

    One thing that did upset me about the Jedi.
    They were arrogent enough to think they NEVER needed an escape plan out of the temple.
    If they did and practiced the evac of the knights and younglings, the slaughter would never had been so successful.

    • @shadowfox009x
      @shadowfox009x 3 місяці тому +8

      Which was stupid and kind of crazy as the Temple had been razed in the past, and they should have evac procedures in place. Even for something as simple as a fire or so. Especially during war-times.
      Even more so when the councillors decided to go and confront a Sith. They should have alerted the Battlemaster and the Temple Guard who in turn should have locked the Temple down just in case.

    You know now that I have thought on it I can see many similarities with Anakin tragic rise and his dissension into the dark side of the force to everyday real life. It's like this the best way to divide a group or create disharmony amongst them is by finding the one or few who are getting less than what everyone else is getting. Convince them that they should be getting the same thing and even more. Before you know they'll be demanding more of what everyone else is getting possibly causing disharmony, incohesion, and division. This can be such an effective method that you can convince someone of a weak mind that the very people who provide, tend to, or even love them are bad people. Simply by pointing out what that guardian doesn't do for them and before you know it you'll have them hating the very people who only treated you with care this is why Anakin fell to the dark side. Palpatine convince Anakin that the jedi were evil and that they're holding him back from reaching his potential

    This is great analysis! Anakin had righteous intentions at first. He believed this is right. Sith eyes came on Mustafar when he slaughtered Separatist Council. Jedi were really ruined by the Council and the Senate and thus the Republic. This makes sense to me. May the Force be with you too😊

    Anakin was a good person before his fall, and only ever wanted to do good things for good people, but he let his darker emotions, his fear, his anger, his hated, consume him, and he would over the course of only a few years, become what would be known as Darth Vader. Even as Vader, Anakin would have likely preferred for the Jedi to surrender, but knew it was unlikely, and the Clones certainly had no qualms about gunning down any and all Jedi they encountered. If Anakin learned to control his inner darkness, and use it for good, he would've easily been able to confront and defeat Sidious alone.

    George Lucas never should've written Anakin to kill the younglings. That whole part made no sense whatsoever. Palpatine needed the rare Force sensitives as servants and potential replacements for Vader. He could also conduct experiments and dark side rituals on them. The younglings weren't a threat to the Empire, but an asset. Anakin was a very heroic individual, deeply caring and emotional so he never would've killed those that were at an even greater disadvantage at that moment, than he was on Tatooine when Qui-Gonn first found him. He was familiar with Qui-Gonn's work and wisdom, so he never would've thought all Jedi to be deserving of extinction. The whole temple and younglings part was extremely rushed and pretty low IQ on the part of Lucas.

      This is one of the reasons why the Prequels make no sense. You already know that Anakin will be redeemed in the OT but then you see him commit an irredeemable act. In the OT, the war crimes we see him commit are against Rebel fighters, not innocent children, and while that's still very bad, it's not irredeemable. Deliberating murdering children on the other hand is.

      Yeah, he was all in after killing Mace and didn't spare much thought about killing the children (especially in the books). He thought it was the only way to save Padme and avoid the consequences of his actions. He also had notions of later killing Palpatine and starting "his new empire" and the jedi's existence were an obstacle to that.

    Well, the video isn't entirely wrong. About him killing the jedi because they were all so completely indoctrinated by the council. The whole jedi order would never understand why anakin was doing this either.

    • @jupupable4101
      @jupupable4101 3 місяці тому +4

      The Jedi definitely aren't without a decent amount of flaws, but Anakin's anger with The Council is driven mostly by personal grievance (and trying to save Padme at all costs) rather than any sort of higher moral goal. ie. The Council delaying his promotion to Master and their stringent rules regarding attachments. The rest of his anger was mostly misdirected, stoked or caused by Palpatine. ie. the Jedi were conspiring to take over the Republic, the jedi being beholden to an increasingly corrupt senate (helped along by Palpatine's scheming). He also needed the jedi out of the way so he could start "his new empire" with Padme as his queen.
      He had no loyalty to Sidious. On his way to Mustafar he was already plotting to usurp him and become emperor. He would have never killed Mace or slaughtered the jedi if he didn't think it was the only way to save Padme. Anakin's motivations were ultimately selfish, emotionally immature and very personal. He could have left the jedi at any time and settled down with Padme, but he enjoyed the power/adventure of being a jedi and wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

    I tend to think that, however, Anakin might have felt about his actions?
    Is made irrelevant by those actions.
    He had every opportunity to change course on his way to not only the Jedi Temple in operation Nightfall but also to the Chancellors quarters before betraying Mace Windu and donning the mantle of Vadar.
    I think that after Anakin betrayed Windu and swore his allegiance to Palpatine?
    He began to embrace being Palps tool.
    There was less and less hesitancy or personal debate about what he was doing within himself....with each new evil act he committed.
    Meaning that he enjoyed the power of the power of the Dark Side that was flowing within himself.
    Extinguishing whatever might have been the persona of Anakin.
    And each horrific act he committed?
    And every betrayal?
    Just keep those Dark Side energies flowing strong.
    Like a drug addict who has a non-stop feed of their favorite drug or drugs...and only has to commit acts of utter evil to keep those drugs flowing.
    Until that by the time of the events of episode IV?
    Anakin had literally became the living embodiment of his addiction.
    Not a victim of it.

    Kinda makes sense honestly. He DIDN'T enjoy killing and betraying the Jedi an unlike Palpatine he didn't think killing Jedi of all ages an rank an experience was a fun way to pass time when had little better to do or nothing more important at moment.
    The CIS Leaders HOWEVER... Anakin would see them totally differently so he very much ENJOYED killing them. The fact that it was ironic some of them probably truly did have it coming was just Darkside Icing on the Force Cake. Quite a few beings in the Galaxy probably woulda happily locked them in with a bloodthirsty an vengeful Mystic soldier with a bone to pick with them an seen it as Justice even.

      The Jedi sure gave Anakin a lot of reasons to hate them. They treated him like an outsider and bullied him, then put him on the front lines of the clone wars, thus benefiting off his labor. They let his mother die by refusing to free her. They forced him to keep his relationship with Padme secret and when he tried to seek help from Yoda he was told to let it go, while Palpatine was offering to help him save her (even though that was a complete lie). IDK I wouldn't be too fond of the Jedi either if I was in his shoes.

      I don't know, Qui-Gon traumatised poor Obi-Wan. Being a free wheeling distant hippy and treating Obi-Wan as a latch key kid. Only deeming Obi-Wan fit to be an apprentice after Obi-Wan was enslaved in a deep sea mine and offered to kill himself to help them escape. Also, he abandoned Obi-Wan (at 13 years old) without his lightsaber to fight in a vicious civil war where he lived in the sewers for a year with other child soldiers. With Qui-Gon telling The Jedi Council Obi-Wan left the jedi order "for a girl" and did not send him help. It's the reason Obi-Wan is such a stickler for the rules and the Jedi Code. It's the only way he could cope.
      Not to mention Qui-Gon negligently set up his other former apprentice for failure (Xanatos, who was only 16). "As a test" Yoda and Qui-Gon sent him on a mission that involved him turning against his corrupt father, watching the death of his sister and ultimately qui-gon killing Xanatos' father. This then lead Xanatos to fall to the darkside. Qui-Gon was a great jedi but had a terrible track record with apprentices.

      If you look at it from the perspective that Anakin was still "good", It makes more sense. Like the video said, he still didn't hate the Jedi as a whole, just the council and ideology. He felt they needed to be purged, but these were still the people he grew up with. People he cared about and sometimes loved. He did what he felt was his duty, that doesn't mean he was happy about it. Like the younglings, he saw them as innocent and the only way to save them was to execute them. Its pretty twisted, but it makes sense.
