1. He held the rank of Jedi, but the Jedi Council were jealous and didn’t give Anakin what he deserved.

  2. He saw visions of his wife dying and was willing to do anything to save her, yes, including killing kids. This isn’t evil; this is true love.

  3. After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.

    I think Padme was only five years older than Anakin but that’s a good point. op used to be obsessed with age gaps and they’re okay with Anakin marrying someone he met when he was 9 and she was 14. Also Han and Leia are a decade apart in age (the Solo movie where he’s an adult takes place before the Obi-Wan series where Leia is 10) and Ben and Rey are also a decade apart in age
