  I like how you say he’s whiny and then show a clip of him right after his mom died.

  There’s a comic where Vader is asked after he had just destroyed things, “who could you hate to give you such ferocity?” His answer, “myself”.

  That scene where Anakin is talking about hating sand. The hatred is not for sand. It's what it represents. As a child he had no control over the things that happened to him. He was a slave, vulnerable and not in control. The sand reminds him of that time in his life.

  I like that you're not separating Anakin and Darth Vader. I see a lot of people treating them as seperate entities and they're not.

  This whole movie just reminds me of the saying "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". the jedi council were always so critical of Anakin and ended up causing their own demise.

  I can’t think of a villain who both so obviously needed therapy, AND would have been genuinely responsive to it. Anakin WANTED help. The Jedi then, in their sage wisdom, told him to can it and just stop being afraid 👍🏻

  Everyone who ever met Anakin Skywalker went &quot;God what a mess, someone should do something&quot; and no one ever did<br><br>EDIT: I&apos;m sad that this is the top comment on this video, and it&apos;s a joke I stole from somewhere else.

  people be complaining about how the prequals are &quot;to polotical&quot; and &quot;Anakin is too whiny&quot; without ever thinking about what they just said

  as a person with BPD hearing him say &quot;people with borderline personality disorder don&apos;t tend to be homocidal lunatics&quot; was legitimately so refreshing to hear, especially from a professional; the way we&apos;re treated and portrayed is almost always as horrible, unhelpable, and toxic people when it reality it tends to be quite the opposite, so hearing it here made me very happy

  Someone once pointed out that Leia is Anakin&apos;s daughter: Passion, fire, a certain degree of ruthlessness and Luke is Padme&apos;s son: love, compassion and faith in Anakin.

  Any video that opens with &quot;The emperor is kind of a sleazy boyfriend&quot; is my kind of video.

  Anakin was emotionally abused by the Jedi, they&apos;re the reason he never learned how to deal with his emotions and grief in a healthy way. Yoda and the council shame him as a 9 year old boy for missing his mother, then he&apos;s traumatized by her death. When he admits to Yoda hes afraid of losing his loved ones, Yodas advice is to just NOT mourn them or miss them. I understand the wisdom of the Jedi code, but they dont implement it in a healthy way. And it left him open to manipulation by Palpatine.<br><br>I have so much sympathy for him, but find it very difficult to think that he can still be redeemed after murdering a room full of young children. The way that little boy flinches when Anakin activates his light sabre lives rent free in my brain.
