😬 I was a bit confuzzled when first Palpatine tells Anakin the story of Plageus.Anakin asks "Is it possible to learn this power"
Palps replies "Not from a Jedi"This must have influenced Anakin greatly as he had no father and was born out of nothing but Shmi.
Then after Anakin butts in on Mace and Sidious, Anakin pledges allegiance as long as he learns the power. Sidious dubs him as Darth Vader, and then tells him that together they will discover the secret of creating life and stop people from dying.
I was like "Anakin WTF ? He doesnt even know himself and you become his apprentice ?? "
There was no guarantee about saving lives.
So my thoughts were that Anakin was really gullible.
A lot of posters o here have mentioned this , but I have my own theory as to why .
We know that Jedis can influence peoples minds and thoughts with their force powers . Well if Jedis can the Sith are bound to have simular skills , but by using the dark side have more overpowering brainwashing techniques . Perhaps Palpatines hold over Anakin was due to Anakins uncertainty about his future allowing the dark side to penetrate his mind and influence his thoughts . This had been going on for years , not just in this one movie , and in ROTS I think maybe Sidious was in the final stages of converting Anakin with his dark brainwashing using his powerful emotions towards Padme as an effective weapon .
