Sidious' machinations succeeded in turning Skywalker to the dark side, resulting in the creation of Darth Vader. Through the manipulations of Sidious, who revealed his secret identity to the Jedi, Skywalker turned against the Jedi Order and embraced the dark side of the Force as the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Once the heroic Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force. Forever scarred by his defeat on Mustafar, Vader was transformed into a cybernetically-enhanced Sith Lord.
Since the bounty hunters failed, Palpatine thought Luke Skywalker might be capable and willing to kill Vader. Granted, Palpatine told Vader that he wanted Luke to join them as a dark side ally. But in actuality, he wanted Luke to take Vader's place.
One idea was that, upon taking off Vader's helmet, Luke would place it on his own head and state that he was Vader now. From there, he would go on to destroy the Rebel fleet with his new resources. George Lucas immediately shot the idea down, stating that the movie was supposed to be something enjoyable for kids.
While Vader may be stronger, Luke had several advantages of his own. He was both swifter and nimbler than Vader. But the biggest edge was that Luke didn't give in to his hatred and anger.
Summary. Darth Vader learns Luke Skywalker is his son shortly after A New Hope in canon and Legends comics. In canon, the reveal occurs in Marvel's Star Wars #6, where Vader vows to make Luke join him. In Legends, Vader's discovery is shown in Marvel's Star Wars #35, later expanded in Star Wars: Vader's Quest.
A major factor that contributed to Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side was the Jedi Council. The Council, led by Jedi Grand Master Yoda ,refused to give Anakin the rank of Master, despite being allowing him a seat among their ranks.
During the battle, Anakin, who had been known as the Sith Lord Darth Vader, was redeemed by Luke and brought balance to the Force. However, the redemption cost Anakin his life, having been mortally wounded by the Emperor, Darth Sidious, while killing his former Master.
He believed that the Jedi's lightsabers, created as the order's primary weapon, clouded their vision and blinded them to the fact that everything around them is a weapon through the Force, and that the Jedi put too much stock in lightsabers.
Darth Vader Hated Palpatine More Than Even The Jedi
For all the hate he directed upon himself, he'd come to hate his master just as much if not more, especially after learning that Palpatine had kept the truth about Padmé's death from him for so many years with the reveal that Luke Skywalker was his son.
During the war, the saber was used to fight several individuals, including Kreel and Boba Fett, but was later lost on Bespin when Luke confronted his father. After losing his father's lightsaber, Luke replaced it with a yellow lightsaber and later a green lightsaber he built on his own.
When Padme confronted her husband on Mustafar, Anakin choked her to unconsciousness out of anger. While the act alone didn't kill her, Anakin's turn to the dark side was too much to bear. Holding on long enough to give birth to her children, Padme eventually passed away, having lost the will to live.
Anakin Hated Obi-Wan Because of an Imagined Relationship With Padme. Although Padme and Obi-Wan's affair couldn't have been further from the truth, Anakin apparently built up a scenario in his mind, which was only heightened by the Jedi Council's obfuscation in other areas.
He chose evil to achieve what he thought was the ultimate good. , this led to Padme's death. He choke the one he wanted to save with his own hands. When we turn a good thing into the ultimate thing and try to get it at all costs, we lose that good thing — destroy it with our own hands.
A year later, in 4 ABY, with his health rapidly declining, Yoda died of old age when Skywalker returned to see him. He became one with the Force, shortly before Luke redeemed his father Anakin, who fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One by killing Sidious.
Instead, the theory suggests that Padmé died because Palpatine killed her. By taking a closer look at how Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader is intercut with Padmé's death, a clearer picture emerges of how Padmé's death was more likely a planned-out murder as opposed to an accidental tragedy.
Their battle was interrupted when Leia used the last of her strength to reach her son in the Force. While Kylo was distracted, Rey ran him through with his own lightsaber, leaving him mortally wounded.
Anakin Skywalker's birth mystery is solved - his mother, Shmi Skywalker, reveals that there was no father and she can't explain what happened. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force.
Ultimately showing the darker side of Anakin's love, his passionate nature leads him to care for Padme with all of his heart, far in excess of anything else in his life.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence.
No, Anakin was never made aware that he had children until he is initially confronted with Luke, and then suspects between ANH and ESB that Luke is his son. Obi-Wan comments that "the Emporer knew, as I did, that if Anakin were to have any offspring they would be a threat to him.
