Summary. Yoda believed in Anakin's impulsivity and saw it as a gift, unlike other Jedi who thought it made him reckless. The Jedi Council was afraid of what Anakin might become, but Yoda was more afraid for him and tried to support his true nature.
It's not entirely his fault, but he definitely shares the blame as the leader of the Jedi order. There were a lot of circumstances that he should have questioned the war, the chancellor, the clone army.
Yoda and Anakin vary greatly in age, and regardless of his power, the Jedi Grand Master couldn't fight for long periods of time being nearly 900 years old.
Master Yoda knew that Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker - the boy he sensed too much fear in to train way back in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. For many years it's been assumed Master Yoda was aware from the day Vader gained his cybernetic enhancements and signature wheeze.
Summary. The Jedi Council's lack of trust and compassion towards Anakin Skywalker pushed him towards the dark side, exacerbating his fears and anxieties. The Jedi Council ignored or dismissed Anakin's flaws and inappropriate feelings, failing to address them before it was too late.
What If Yoda Decided To Train Anakin Skywalker For Qui Gon
Did Yoda ever like Anakin?
Over the years, Anakin came to highly respect Yoda, while Yoda gradually outgrew his fear of Anakin and came to have faith in him and correctly came to believe that Anakin was the Chosen One from the Jedi prophecy.
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred, and pain, fueling his descent even further into the Dark Side.
Grand Master Yoda encountered the specter of Darth Bane during the Clone Wars. During the war, in 19 BBY, Jedi Grand Master Yoda ventured to Moraband on a journey to discover the secrets of immortality. He entered Bane's tomb and encountered a fiery vision of the ancient Dark Lord.
With Yoda's presence in the Force cloaked, there really wasn't any way for the Empire, Darth Vader, or Vader's Inquisitors to find the Jedi master. Another potential explanation is the planet Dagobah itself.
In those movies, Mace was someone who loved confrontation, with his bullish ways usually winning arguments. However, he rubbed many the wrong way, and as the novel detailed, he was someone vehemently against Anakin joining the Jedi Order.
Did Anakin ever regret his actions? Anakin absolutely did regret many of his bad choices. After becoming Darth Vader, he pushed the regret down for awhile by dissociating himself from Anakin before the suit.
Even though Palpatine's kindness towards Anakin was always fake, he still had respect for Anakin's power. But now that Anakin is beaten and scarred, Palpatine has lost all respect for him.
Star Wars Explained - A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away... Why didn't Yoda train Anakin Skywalker if he really thought that he was "the chosen one"? Yoda didn't want Anakin trained. He considered him to be dangerous, full of fear which could potentially be catastrophic.
The four most powerful members of the Jedi High Council during the Clone Wars period were Yoda, and three of his students: Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ki-Adi-Mundi. While Mace and Obi-Wan are known to even casual fans, Ki-Adi-Mundi should not be underestimated.
Following Yoda and Sidious' duel, Yoda's lightsaber was recovered by the Empire. In the Darth Vader comics, we see Mas Ammeda incinerate it along with other Jedi's lightsabers. Luke Skywalker kept Yoda's lightsaber after he left it on Degobah after he died.
Yoda didn't want Anakin trained. He considered him to be dangerous, full of fear which could potentially be catastrophic. As it was. The Council refused for Anakin to be trained but the situation has changed after Qui-Gon died.
Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the already damaged Sith Lord off of a cliff. Despite severe damage to his suit, Vader survived the fall, and repaired himself with parts from Infil'a's droid, Arex.
While this is not a fight that ever happened or ever will happen in a canon Star Wars story, it is one of the most interesting hypothetical matchups between two characters in the universe.
“The tear [on Anakin's face] says that he knows what he's done, but he has now committed himself to a path that he may not agree with… but he is going to go on anyway. It's the one moment that says he's self-aware that he's rationalizing all his behavior.
Anakin does not have even the slightest bit of remorse. By the end, he feels nothing but anger. Although he feels regret for killing Padme, he still helps the evil Emperor.
While the Star Wars canon doesn't explicitly confirm his regret, the intricacies of his relationship with Ahsoka and the remnants of his former identity could have stirred some degree of internal turmoil.
