Why Anakin becomes Darth Vader...

Simple:

1) Everyone calls him "Annie". If you're a bloke, and you were called Annie in front of everyone, wouldn't you want to be called Darth Vader and go and kill all of them ?

2) Forcibly removed from his mother by Liam Neeson. That must have some psychological effects on him - loss of a parent (unless he comes back for her in the next episode), loss of a feminine figure in his life. While I don't doubt Obi-Wan's character, he can't be much of a substitute for his mum.

3) The hint that he was born by immaculate conception. Again, the lack of a male role model from an early age may well lead him astray and susceptible to ideas from "bad people"


Any ideas?

Because all the big kids were doing it and young Anakin wouldn'y have been &quot;cool&quot; if he didn't.

I must confess the Darth Nader joke is not really mine. Back in the late 70's or early 80's there was a spoof on Star Wars called Hardware Wars. Darth Nader was one of the characters. I would love to get a copy of that short.

When Annie turned into Darth, his lightsaber color changed from pink to red and it spoke &quot;You're a man now.&quot;

Hardware Wars was shown, I think, on Saturday Night live. Maybe a copy available there.

Funny but not that funny.
