Perhaps to fully heal him he would need to give his own life to save Anakin.
Funny We know pretty much every thing in the movie, yet we know almost knothing.
Well, palpatine needs anakin. Why would he recruit him from the beginning. He know how powerfull he can be to the dark side. The debate is, does the suit weaken the midichlorian(sp?) count and thus weaken the soon to be Darth Vader. Would a weakened apprentice hurt or help Palpatine. Of course he would be more able to control him, but he wouldn't be as useful. Plus, the force flows through everything, so would having mostly a mechanical body debilitate him at all? All this has to be thought through to determine the emperors possible motives for saving/ not saving Anakin, if he had any at all. Sorry, I know that this didn't answer anything, but I think it helps to look at the question as logically as possible🙂
Okay, I just hit on this like five minutes ago. The force is never gonna weaken Anakin or get weaker within him(if the force is all encampassing) But the force didn't keep anybody alive forever. I think that his hatred and feeling of betrayal, plus the massive force power within him saved him. Heck, the force flows through everything, so why not lava too? Maybe he manipulated it? Maybe Obi Wan did? Who knows, like 6 people. Could you imagine being those people? I bet it feels like being god....for like 6 mos🙂
