well, you see...anakin forgot to make that right on "light side ave.", so he figured he could take the next right and make a u-turn on "dark side blvd"...but it was a one-way street...so there ya go.
seriously though..
you guys should ease up on this Tormentor 2004. the only thing worse than a newbie are arrogant condesending adults that get no greater joy than to rip on the new guy.
i mean this "Tormentor 2004" is quite possibly not from america and i'd wager is probably near the age of ten... i could be wrong

1- leave the guy alone.
2- your not exactly the oldest most experienced member here
Whats worse, a newbie, who doesnt know much about star wars but WANTS to learn
Or sombody who knows alot about it, and wont share.
Thats just arrogance
Ok, let's focus this back on topic, regardless of intent.
Besides which, this is a topic which bears exploration. Anakin falls to the Dark Side because of his fear. This is caused by a weakness from Anakin- he creates attachments. Now, as a weakess this seems unfair, because he forms attachments because he is a caring person.
But Anakin has little control over his emotion- furthermore, Jedi cannot afford such things, because emotion like that can be very dangerous for them. Anakin had great attachment to his mother, and when she died that was transferred to Padme, but he also has attachment to all sorts of things. He wants the Galaxy to be a better place, for a start.
When you have attachments, you fear to lose them. Anakin does not want to lose anything ever again, after the pain of his mother's passing. Fear is the path to the Dark Side. His need to protect his attachments will slowly erode his reason. Before long, his duty of care as a Jedi will become a forcible protection- and he is slipping to the Dark Side without seeing it. It will only take one catalyst to push him all the way- and we can lay odds that this will be in the new film.
Remember, when they forbid Jedi to love, it's not them being draconian. It's just that having a single person you focus your love on... it is too dangerous for a Jedi. It can take you down, and Anakin's love WILL take him down. Sad, but that is the Jedi life. Anakin, putting himself above others, has broken that rule; the Galaxy will pay.
LOL ush 😄
you pretty much explained anakins fall to a tee...not really room for debate there.
and i must apologise in advanced for swaying back off topic for this, but i have to say it:
---------------------------------
now for you GG, i wish i could say i took offense to your comment on me "eating" another person posting here, but i dont care...i really don't.
the only time you managed to get a rise out of me was when you commented that i probably copied someone elses artwork. now you must understand that telling that to an artist is like calling them an absolute fraud in everything they stand for. but that doesnt matter. you said what you said, and you won't admit it, let alone apologise...but this is just a forum, people like you are going to take advantage of the anonymous nature of these sites, and i have accepted this.
but now you choose to answer EVERY single post i put up like you are my f'n shadow, and i find it irritating. that is the reason for less than favorable replies to you.
i don't seek out your posts to squash them, i just want you to stop pretending to be my 'amigo'.
and whoever would choose to get 'high and mighty' and point the finger of blame at me, just check my posts and you will see that 99% rest neatly atop GG's post.
sorry if that makes you feel bad GG, but you could have been a man and apologised, but you chose to play stupid. therefore, i have nothing to say to you...besides the usual "please leave me alone" that is.
sorry, i had to say it...hope i didnt ruffle any feathers here.
