questions about anakin -> vader

I've been trying to think some things through:

1) What causes Anakin to turn?
Though no one knows for sure, I'm sure Palpatine is involved and the newest trailer seems to hint it has something to do with the fact that Anakin can't be with Padme and be a Jedi at the same time.

2) Why is Vader so mechanical in ep. 4-6?
Was he in some sort of accident? Has GL or someone else explained this? And will we see this in ep. 3?

"Vader's more machine than man, twisted and evil."

3) How does Anakin's turn relate in time to the birth of Luke and Leia?
I assume that Anakin has already turned before they are born or he would know that there were twins before ep. 6. But does that mean he's turned while still being together with Padme? Perhaps he turns in the 9 months between.

Any input or thoughts? ...

1) the death of his mother, ob1's training methods, the council's lake of faith in him, it was hinted that padme might betray him as well, i'm sure palpatine offers him an easier route.

2)It is thought that ob1 beats anakin in a duel atop a volcano or lava pit, knocks him in and the machinery is used to support his life.

3) Anakin probably turns before the birth of Luke hence him not knowing about leia and ob1 being able to hide him with the lars.

same here

I've been thinking that maybe Anakin turns because the Emperor makes him think that Padme has betrayed him, kind of like Othello. Iago makes Othello think that his wife is having an affair with his best friend, and Othello kills his wife. That's really likely and follows GL's habit of using literature and mythology in his movies.

hmmm, but what about the kids then? That will be in EpIII and AFTER the birth of them, and Anakin doesn't know she's pregnant... tricky...

I dont think he'll necessarily kill Padme when he "finds out" about her betrayal. He may not kill her at all. But I think that with the emperor's manipulative nature he could conjure things in Anakin's mind.

but I think that it is important that you know what happend with Amidala

We do..she dies..

I understand what you mean but I think it might be a nice touch if we don't find out her fate until Jedi.

Another reason for him turning could be that he doesn't get rewarded for all the good things he does. In TPM he did good deeds and didn't look for any reward but he will in AOTC and when he doesn't get it, it'll probably mean trouble.😈

so the only thing we here about her will be:
Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
....

She died when I was very little.

Not even saving the universe??? heck!

We have to see her die to show the consequences of Anakin turning. But he won't kill her.

but you can't do it the same way as in EpII

How do you mean? NO big spoilers please!😄

Spoiler:
Shmi gets killed by Sandpeople

Well, I for one would hope that GL would keep Padme's death a secret from us until Jedi..but hey, I've been dead wrong about everything else so far...so if you go by that we'll DEFINATELY see her demise.

wooohoo 😄

one line in ROTJ is not good enough for me

I'm sure GL will explain it all for you..😂

yeah! and you know why? ... I'm his long lost twin brother!

If she doesn't die in Ep3 I think it will ruin the whole story.🙁

we will see...
