It's possible that Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu always knew about Anakin Skywalker's secret relationship with Padmé Amidala, and one particular Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode provides proof.
Mike Chen's new Star Wars novel Brotherhood reveals Obi-Wan Kenobi knew about Anakin and Padmé all along - and chose to keep their secret. Star Wars has confirmed Obi-Wan Kenobi knew about Anakin Skywalker's marriage to Padmé Amidala all along.
Who in the Jedi Order knew about Anakin and Padme's relationship? Disney canon: Most of the Jedi Order knew they were close, but only Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano were aware they were actively in love.
Obi-Wan and Yoda knew about their relationship, but not the pregnancy. They kept Anakin's secret from the Council, who probably would have punished him, although they have made exceptions for other Jedi in the past.
How Did Yoda Know About Anakin and Padme's Marriage? Star Wars Theory
Did Leia know Padmé was her mother?
Leia Organa never knew her mother Padmé - but Star Wars comics have made Padmé's memory even more heartbreaking after Rise of Skywalker. Marvel's Star Wars comics have made Leia and Padmé's relationship even more tragic. Leia Organa never knew her mother, Padmé Amidala.
Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife. He had no idea Padmé had given birth before she died, still less that the Jedi had spirited the children away and hidden them.
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. The film ends with Anakins standing side by side with the man on whose behalf he has committed all his crimes.
Returning to Dagobah to complete his training, an ailing Yoda told Luke the terrible truth that Vader was his father, Anakin Skywalker. Rather than destroy his father, Luke sought to bring him back into the light. At 900 years old, Yoda passed away, telling Luke that there was another Skywalker.
He was still completely unaware of the Sidious/ Palpatine connection until ROTS. He also said during TCW season 6 that the Jedi order must believe in the clones and end the war before the Sith's plans are realized.
If Anakin had never fell in love with Padmé, he would've never turned to the Dark Side because it was his fear for losing Padmé and his two unborn children which caused him to be easily seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. It was his fear which made it much easier for Palpatine to manipulate Anakin.
Star Wars revealed that Yoda received a warning about Order 66 at the start of the Clone Wars, making it unclear why the Jedi Master chose to ignore it. Order 66 wiped out most of the Jedi Order, so if Yoda knew about it in advance, then he could have taken steps to make sure it didn't happen.
No, but he saw early on that Anakin had all the seeds in place to be drawn to it- fear, which could easily lead to hatred and suffering. That was why they were opposed to training him from the very beginning, never trusted him, or really believed the prophecy.
Yoda recognized Anakin's skill in lightsaber combat and as a combat general in the Clone Wars, but these were never things that Yoda valued in a Jedi knight. Yoda saw Anakin's power, and probably worried about his lack of control, but even so Yoda could see value in Anakin's unorthodox ways.
When Anakin fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader, Yoda was saddened, but firmly believed he was beyond redemption and forgiveness, and ordered Obi-Wan to hunt down and kill him. Even as a Force spirit, Yoda continued to believe that Vader was irredeemable and there was no good left in him.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
Instead of being in the life suit, Vader looks like an older Anakin who never received the devastating injuries, and Padmé and Luke (who struck down Palpatine) are by his side. It's during these visions Palpatine realizes Luke - who he only knew as the Rebel who destroyed the Death Star - is Anakin's son.
Over the next decade, the galaxy was on the verge of civil war with entire star systems—led by Count Dooku, Yoda's one-time Padawan—threatening to secede from the Republic by 22 BBY.
However, when it comes to who Darth Vader hates more than anyone in the Star Wars galaxy, himself and Obi-Wan Kenobi don't hold a candle to the true point of Darth Vader's hatred, Emperor Palpatine.
Before Padmé's death, she still believed there was still good left in Anakin, and that one day he could be redeemed. During Anakin's time as the Emperor's enforcer, he continued to suffer from grief over Padmé's death, and guilt over his supposed hand in it.
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.
Over one year after the battle of Endor, Anakin appeared as a forest ghost in front of Leia. to ask her for forgiveness. When Leia saw him, she was horrified. and could not find it in her to accept him. She remembered all the people he slaughtered, what happened to Alderon, and the thing that bothered her the most.
Summary. Darth Vader's failure to recognize Leia as his daughter in Star Wars: A New Hope stems from George Lucas's late decision to make Luke and Leia siblings. Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
