![]() He just needs some push, something that will force him to make that choice. He doesn't see how he can break out of this spiral, but in my view of things, he actually could at any time. This makes him think he's not worth anything good, or isn't capable of doing anything good, which just makes him hate himself more and fall deeper into the spiral of acting as a monster. But once he acts out of anger and does one bad thing, it becomes that much easier to do another, and each action fuels both more anger and self-loathing. I see him, even as Vader, as always being fundamentally Anakin. The thing is that he doesn't actually realize this, or doesn't want to realize this, so doesn't realize that he could potentially choose otherwise at any time. ![]() ![]() It's a choice he makes over and over again, every single day, to keep following the dark side path. My view of Anakin-as-Vader is that being a Sith, being part of the dark side, isn't a choice he made just once. In that regard, I will always love this take I found somewhere on the internet: It's a combination of Anakin's conscious decisions / mistakes he made, and the unfortunate circumstances / outer influence that made him vulnerable to choosing wrong.
