I must obey my master.

Exactly.

Precisely.

I have to admit that it's a mystery how Obi-Wan could track Anakin down. The only logical explenation would be Artoo. He said "Maybe we can contact Anakin on Naboo, it's much closer" But when he found Anakin he got in immediat contact with Artoo who was with Anakin and Padmé all along. Cause it couldn't be by the ship cause Obi-Wan couldn't have known that they traveled with Padmé's yaught.

Honestly though, his message right to the ship DIDN'T make sense, since he didn't even know about that ship. It was just a filler for the hidden plot-hole.

yeah...

with padme dead, Vader only had the dark side. Meaning that before, Vader pursued power in an effort to save his wife out of love. With his wife gone, the pursuite of power itself became the quest with power supplanting the sense of love with power. Palpatine was the keeper of all the secrets of the Sith and Vader knew this, so Vader was dependant on Palpatine in his pursuit of power until he learned everything. This isn't unique to Vader but is the actual structure of the master/apprentice relationship and inevitably leads to succession by teason. The master keeps the power while the apprentice craves it.
EU sources also claim that vader was hopped up on sith amphetamines which Palps regulated.

Of course it was him personally!

They travelled to Naboo as refugees, thus having no ship.
It was senator Amidalas personal Naboo cruiser that they used to go to Tatooine. It was Anakins personal physical transmitter signal Obi Wan received.

Why would Obi1 track that particular ship that Anakin was not even supposed to see on his assignment.

Yeah, thats a real damn good point, people. Artoo wasn't even on the ship, so it WASN'T Artoo he was tracking. Sesse is right, unless he knew the signal to all of Padme's personal ships (as she seems to have a shitload) then he musta tracked Anakin personally.

I always thought vader had to obey otherwise palps would just snap his force filled fingers and vaders life support would shut down.....and as far as palps regulating his "juice" amphetamines whatever I read Vader controled it himself as needed to boost adreneline and strength.....old comic I read that in from the 70s probably....was a long time ago

those comics aren't reliable tho....I have many of those too, in which one Jabba is a very very thin monkey looking alien...lol

regardless, I think it has more to do with Vader supplanting his person relationships with a quest for power than it does with any actual threats from palpatine cause that forms the basis for sith relationships anyway. I mean, if a point were ever reached where Vader mastered the dark side and sith teachings completely, he would no longer need sidious and one or the other would be killed.

Vader wasn't as strong as Sidious, but his son could become more stronger than him, that is why he wants to train him. He had the same potential as Anakin himself, but in the end he wasn't strong enough. Vader was only able to kill Sidious by returning to the light side of the Force.

if you carefuly watch E-III youll see that when he locates him on tat it shows the ship on the surfice not like a satalite pict but digital so im going to gess he tracted the ship not anakin.

euhm sorry, can't follow..I presume you talk about ep II, not ep III...and what did you see on the ship exactly? Besides I doubt it, cause Obi-Wan could not know that they took Padmé's ship to leave for Tatooine. Only explenation is that they have a tracking device on their belts. maybe it's for padawans only, so that the master can find the pupil if they get lost or something. Now Anakin was almost a knight, I don't think he would get lost...I'm talking about younger padawans.

If this was true, then they did not use the Slave TRacky thingy because at EP 3 Obi Wan wanted to save Anakin. After Anakin got hit by the lava and shit, either the lava removed it or when they where repairing him after the lava, the droids probably took it out.

However, that's an interesting loop!

I doubt that even Anakin would be as dumb as to leave his tracking device on when he turned to the Dark Side.

😂 Ya never know....

On the same token, I'll bet he never expected Padme to take Obiwan to whack him. So he's either real dumb, bad at covering his tracks, or just too trusting.

I think the trusting trait passed on to his kids----> "You're far too trusting." - Tarkin to Leia, right before he blows up the dumb broad's planet.

well she didnt have much choice did she...besides she gave up a fake name in a desperate try to save both the rebellion and her home planet...I wouldn't call that dumb

And if you marry later and don't trust your wife...that's your problem!😛

Yeah he was! He was there the whole time.

Hello... they went to Tatooine from naboo for anakin's mom, after the adventure to find her dead, and the funeral...WHO comes out of the fvcking ship with a message...R-2.

Now he didn't get beamed down there by friggin Mr. Scott. 😄

Did everybody forget about the Jedi comlink from TPM. I'm willing to bet that it has a GPS (galaxy position signal 😛 ) type of thing on it, so that the temple/other Jedi can find each other.

You know, for messages, the kind that can be broadcasted from the temple to each Jedi? 😉

Oh, and Vader's statment in ROTJ was more about his relationship to palpatine, and that palpatine could destroy vader...hence, he must obey him. (IMO) 😎

That's a good point! the comlink...signal must be coming from that device! nice catch sithsaber!
