    She'd always wondered what led her father to the Dark Side to become Darth Vader. She'd imagined it came from ambition, greed, or some other venal weakness. Never had she considered that the turn might have begin in a better place, out of the desire to save someone or to avenge a great wrong. Even if it led to evil, that first impulse might be born of loyalty, a sense of Justice, or even Love.

      You are soooo right!!! If you look at Anakin’s path, it was always him wanting love and an extremely deep fear of abandonment!!!! Especially that fear of abandonment!!!!!!!!! That turned Anakin more than anything!! He lost a lot of people and feared losing others! Palpatine knew this and was able to use it against him to help finish his voyage fully into the dark side! The sad part is that same fear of abandonment and needing to latch on to someone else kept him ( in a very twisted way) attached to Palpatine (Sidious). No matter how much he tortured Vader and electrocuted him with force lightening, he knew Vader wasn’t going anywhere!!! Ironically, that same attachment and ultimately fear of abandonment brought him back to the light side!! Vader found out about his son Luke and actively sought him out. At that point, Vader just want someone powerful in the force to help him overthrow Sidious!! Who better to do this than someone else in the powerful Skywalker bloodline( his son Luke) Vader knew he would need all the help he can get because Sidious far outmatched him! The life support suit that encapsulated Vader greatly diminished what power that he could have tapped into. The injuries that he had sustained once on Mustafar far reduced his power as well!!!
      It wasn’t his power in the force that helped him overthrow Sidious. (quite literally , in fact)
      It was hearing Luke’s pleas as he was being electrocuted by Sidious. Those pleas reached clean into Vader’s mind and soul triggering that sense of attachment ( whether he liked it or not, in some way he latched on to Luke in a short time). That fear of abandonment kicked in once again ( Look here, everyone else done left me!!! I’ll be damned if this man causes you to leave me too!!! He’s got to go!!!!) Vader made the decision to kill Sidious by throwing him into the cavern on the second Death Star! That was despite the cost to his own life!!
      You could actually see the decision and the inner conflict taking place in Vader!!! He could finally take it not one second more, he picked Sidious up and threw him into the cavern saving Luke!! This decision not only had that effect, but also brought him redemption!!! His fear of abandonment in a sense, brought him back to the light side of the force!!!

      It was only the Journal of Shmi Skywalker that forced Leia to finally accept that Anakin was good all along and that her accusations perceiving him as nothing but a monster was unjust and that his entire life was nothing but slavery. This finally made her forgive him as a bigger victim than her that he was betrayed and used by everyone in the galaxy.

    When losing your mother is seen as reason enough to turn you in to a monster, but you actually also lost the guy who rescued you from slavery, his family rejects you soon after his death so you’re essentially alone in the universe, the only father figure you ever had lies and manipulates you constantly, and your brother, the one guy who accepted you, eventually hacks you to pieces and leaves you for death on a flaming lava shore... and then your wife dies.

    It's no coincidence that this happened before Leia began her Jedi training. If she had begun training to be a Jedi while still holding all this hate and resentment towards her father, she may very well have fallen down the same dark path as he did. But by coming to understand him and his actions, and what drove him to become a Dark Lord of the Sith, she learned about how even actions taken in the name of love and justice can lead to the dark side.

    "Tatooine Ghost" (from which this video's information is from) was a REALLY good book (the best from the Pre-Thrawn Era alongside "The Courtship of Princess Leia"). It was touching, suppossed the first connection between the original and prequel movies and served as great character development for Leia, as she forgave her father and named her third child Anakin.

      The only other friend that he was very close to came way after his training. The Jedi order later on gave Anakin the padwan Ashoka Tano as his trainee. He and Ashoka grew very close. He came to regard her as a younger sister in many respects. That fact alone affected him deeply and emotionally when she left the Jedi Order after she was framed and accused in an incident that had taken place. They Jedi initially threw her out of the order. After her name was cleared the Jedi welcomed her back, but she decided not to rejoin. She was hurt and disgusted by the way they had treated her, not believing her. She decided to leave despite Anakin’s pleas for her not to leave. Unbeknownst to Ashoka, Anakin took it as yet another person who had abandoned him.Years later, while Ashoka was in meditation, she “spoke” to Anakin by way of vision in the force. He was Vader at the time. During part of the vision, she clearly heard Anakin’s voice instead of Darth Vader’s speaking to her. He was partially blaming her for who he had become! He had asked her “Why did you leave me?!! I begged you not to!!!”
      At one point, she told him that she had to.
      Vader knew that she had survived order 66. He never really bothered to pursue her even though he sensed that she was still alive. Ashoka and him did cross paths at one point, but she mainly tried to avoid him.

    Anakin was taken from his mother to be basically neglected by the Jedi. Obiwan wasn't a father figure but a older brother. Anakin probably would have been happier if he left the order and focused on buying out his mother to bring her to somewhere safe. Maybe Obiwan could have put in a good word for Anakin at the Coursant university which could have led to the empire hiring Anakin as one of many super weapon engineers. .
