Oh man like I really consider it
just a thing of free will.

Cause
the dark side is a choice one makes unless one is twisted by someone
else or injected with that weird poison from that dragon in the EU
legends and Anakin had choices and he had options. He had free will
and yes Palpatine manipulated the situations and pushed him and
outright groomed
him from a young age.

But
in the end he chose.

I
feel like if someone paid attention, if Anakin reached out to someone
(aka Obi-Wan) and told what was going on or even just let go of his
anger about things then he wouldn’t have fallen.

Like
letting go of the Jedi to ‘just’ be Padme’s husband.

Let
go of Padme to be a Jedi he so craved.

Let
go of his rage about his mothers murder and torture, awful as that
was, normal grief can make people insane too without the Force powers
tacked on and a light and dark side.

So
in the end I think Anakin choose and he chose badly with so many
things conspiring against him.

I
won’t say he alone
was to blame.

I
mean fuck the Jedi did a lot of wrong (or more like the council with
their heads shoved up their asses really) and then there was
Palpatine and the war making everything worse but Anakin is in the
end the one who knelt before Palpatine, marched on the Jedi temple
and killed kids.

Its
a bit like our world, you can chose to behave like a civilized person
or you can go murder someone.

Anakin
chose, based on fear, anger and darkness and it killed almost all the
Jedi, doomed the galaxy into Palpatine’s tyrannical rule where he
instated slavery and made the world bleaker.
