Anakins Saber in ANH

Well the books are the books, not all are Lucas' full vision nor are they made by Lucas himself. Heck in one book, Chewie dies getting hit by a falling moon. How awkward is that?

I believe what they were refering to is after he fell into the lava, Anakin was no more, and all that remained within him now was his great hatred leading him to the path of the dark side, and the soon to be Darth Vader.

That all sound very dramatic but it could just be very simple like Anakin knows Padime is pregnant and wanted his first born to have his saber... before all the fighting happens...

Or not 🙂

as long as there is still good in him he's Anakin as Luke says in ROTJ (there is still good in you and I can feel the conflict)

"During the attempt to save the badly-burned Anakin, he actually dies. Palpatine, frustrated after all the time and effort he’s put into recruiting and training Anakin so far, uses a dangerous Sith ritual to resurrect the fallen Jedi, and in the process, his own body is so ravaged by the Dark Side that it transforms him into the twisted, shriveled Emperor that we all remember from the Original Trilogy."

I hadent seen this one yet, maybe some of you have. Would possibly give a reason for Anakins direct decent to the darkside. As far as a conversation between Anakin and Obi-Wan as to giving the Saber to Luke, I would Imagine that never happend just as Vader killed your father. Never happend directly 🙄

This lends credibility to the claim by (insert name of Lucasfilm employee here) that Palpatine's appearance is a result of an event that transpires during EIII.

Although this is a LOT more believable and credible than the idea that Palpy's appearance is the result of a "scream" by Anakin, I still would rather find out that Palpatine ALWAYS looked that way, but simply used the dark side to mask his true appearance.

Beggars can't be choosers, though, and I can live with this scenario.

But Anakin "is tricked" to turn to the dark side... he is not "converted" or "reborn" as a dark sider, he is tricked, and for that, he made his choice and the "fall" is a result of an act of will.

At least that was what Lucas used to say about Anakin/Vader fall to dark side.

that sort of answers questions I had about another line of dialogue that's bugged me

AotC
Anakin to Padme:
"I promise you, one day i will LEARN to stop people from dying"!!!!

Padme looks shocked by this statement, initially i thought her startled reaction to Anakin was due to him talking BS out of grief for his mother, but perhaps she knows only too well that only a sith lord can teach such a skill and she is therefore, in fact .... horrified.

just a thought
