@Ajjviolin96 I get that but I feel like I would get better results to see if people think they would rather than deep detailed comments. If they feel like speculating then I would love to hear it just like yours!! But I wanted this to be accessible and I like looking at the poll’s results.

I always love reading your comments and this one is no different. I feel you really nailed it. It seems very true that Anakin couldn’t let go and that led to his demise. It does help me. Thank you for your thoughts, my friend and may the force be with you.

I highly doubt it. I’m no simp, unlike Anakin. In other words, here’s how it would go:

If I was Anakin at nine years old meeting Padme I first of all would say “ayo wtf!?” She trying to date a nine year old chosen boi without consent? Not on my watch. And unlike Anakin, I have no sand phobia or fear of not having the high ground every 0.1 seconds. I would actually train well enough to the point where I would eventually get the rank of master. And since I have no fear of sand, I would eventually return to Tatooine and actually save my mother from slavery.

Fast foward to the Clone Wars, and I would make a better Jedi General than Anakin. Of course I be in stressful situations sometimes, I wouldn’t expect to have a Padawan at my rank of Knight, but my teachings would eventually lead Ahsoka to be granted the rank of Knight, a rank that she probably will never get.

I would make Obi-Wan and Qui Gon proud and finally bring balance to the force. I would rescue the Senate, but he would be exposed by Dooku, so instead I would kill Palpatine and Dooku would be redeemed. That’s how I would get the rank of master.

Since I’m no simp, Luke and Leia would never be born, the galaxy would never go into turmoil for ages to come, and the Jedi Order wouldn’t collapse.

So yeah, that’s my take on what would happen if I was in Anakin’s position. Please let me know your thoughts down below, and until then, May the Porgs be with you, always.

@MSkyporger69 im not saying you are born on Tatooine, are a slave to watto as well as your mother. I’m talking more about when he was in revenge of the sith. If the one you loved the most was dying do you think you would have joined sideous not knowing what it would lead down. Would you try anything to save that person. How would you handle the situation of saving them.

Like Anakin, I would go for Sidious for advice, but when I would find his true identity, I would’ve waited in the council chambers. That way I would get the rank of master when Mace returned.

Not trying to like brag or whatever, but I’m very stubborn, opinionated, perseverant, and stron-willed. So, IDK, I probably woulda made it but who knows.

Firstly: nice question

Secondly: I’d like to think that I would have been a bit more rational than Anakin was, not just blindly trusting Palps and so on, but I don’t know. I’m going with ‘fall to the dark side’

If I were Anakin, I would’ve kept my distance from Padme and not fall in love with her. I would only think of her as a friend. I would remain on the light side and listen to my superiors instead of doing things my way.

Put yourself in his shoes/high Jedi boots

He’d just been denied a job position with no real evidence why which is bad enough but he had been working for this since the day Qui Gon had picked him up

He was always expected to be this amazing Jedi who would save everyone and that’s a lot of pressure to put on one person

Then of course he is handed the worst pupil and expected to mould her into a Jedi.

And after years of hardship nothing works and she leaves the one thing you swore for her to keep. And by that point she was almost like your daughter.

Then your mother is unjustly murder by a bunch of hobos and you’re expected to not react at all. Which is impossible for even the strongest of people

Then you go and kill and entire civilisation and realise what you’ve done and being torn apart by remorse guilt and grief.

Then you’re confronted by the only man you could ever trust and told that you’re not good enough which you know is a lie.

You end up killing the love of your life and then being told that you could bring her back??

This is a greiving angry young man we’re talking about here

I feel like he was completely right to do what he did

@Ginger Kenobi great take on it nice, man!
