Anakin's Thoughts RIGHT AFTER Betraying Mace Windu (BECOMES VADER)

As Mace Windu was moments away from killing Palpatine and ending the return of the Sith, Anakin made the ultimate choice and saved Palpatinen and severing Mace's hand in the process. As Anakin would turn to the dark side and become the Sith Lord Darth Vader, his internal thoughts are revealed...

I like how in the novel Anakin sees right through Sidious and executes his commands not out of genuine loyalty to him or the Sith, but because he knew the Jedi would try to stop him from taking over after assassinating Sidious after learning the secret to saving Padme. Before being burned and confined to his suit, Vader had every intention of murdering Sidious after learning how to save his wife and would've done so. In the movie I always got the feeling that Anakin just pledged himself to the Sith even after Palpatine admitted that he couldn't save Padme
Sidious: to cheat death is a power only one has achieved.
Translation: only my master knew this power, but if we work together we can learn it too.
In other words Sidious has been lying to Anakin and after realizing this Anakin still kneels before him. The movie makes him appear so desperate that he'll take Palpatine's word that they'll learn to cheat death together
In the novel Anakin is silently plotting against Sidious from the moment he is dubbed Vader

@@elmermedina1713 exactly! He’s even thinking about betraying as early as operation knightfall at the Jedi temple.

And if Anakin had been able to see further into the premonitions he was having of Padme dying, he would've realized that he was the cause of her death.

First time I actually liked Anakin was when he cried out in anguish, following the betrayal of Windu’s, and especially when Sidious named him Vader.
Buuuuut, then I couldn’t stand him again, until his obsidian mask levered onto and covered his face - and he stopped talking so much. Then my awe and fear of Vader rekindled, back to how I felt about him in 1977, when I was 7.
