Part of the reason why I like the book The Clone Wars is because it shows how much he actively tries to delude himself that his actions are not driving him deeper to the darkside. I love it because as the war continues, he stops fighting it and just justifies it.

Obi Wan knew he used anger and so did Ashoka in battle, sometimes it did cloud his mind but in midst of battle Obi-Wan and Ashoka were great warriors too, almost impossible not to use anger if people trying to kill you

Where did you get the Books?

All is fair in war, including the dark side -grand master mace probably 1st ha!

[@izzymaedavidson1974]

Not exactly. War crimes are a thing

[@nightwingman666]

Given he just killed a village of Tusken Raiders before the war its no surprise he did this.

[@jordanrejon5091]

Didn't he become a dark god to them?

[@stevesheridan3511]

Good insight for those who don't read!!

Again, I thank you for wonderful video and in depth history, I loved it.

[@margaret4196]

Another great video! I agree with your assessment of Anakin. I think he is an amazing character. There is so much depth to him.

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Anakin the Brave?

[@lukepevensie]

i want disney to produce a live action remake of the clone wars, with Ewan and Hayden

Three movies could have told Anakin's story just fine if organized right. Episode I could start with Anakin at 19 as a padawan under Obi-Wan and his childhood as a slave as background to his character. Episode II could be a concise summary of all the major beats of the Clone Wars as Anakin gradually loses faith in the Jedi and slowly goes down the dark side. Episode III is nearly perfect on its own.

If I were Anakin; I would do any and everything to win the war, even if it meant using the dark side!!
