How Palpatine Used a LIGHTSIDE Power on ANAKIN in Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there may be something we all might have simply overlooked...Once Anakin Skywalker fights Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, he is left burning to 'death' and being reborn in the true form of Darth Vader as Palpatine comes along so conveniently to apply force heal to his head...Keeping him alive just for a little bit longer, a type of selfish manipulation of the force by using the light side for a dark purpose. Could Darth Sidious have healed Anakin/Darth Vader fully? How does this theory play into the rest of Star Wars? If Mace Windu could use both the light and dark sides, why couldn't Palpatine? I believe he could and DID! by Star Wars Theory

Is Darth Vader More Powerful Than Anakin Skywalker? (In-Depth Analysis) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one, or so the prophecy lead the Jedi to believe…and we know that Darth Vader was half man half machine after his duel on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan Kenobi…severing his connection to the force severely with his lost limbs and burned body. Once Palpatine revived him and put him into the machined body that we know Darth Vader came to be in...just who was more powerful? Now it's hard to say, as Anakin Skywalker never got to see his full potential, however we can examine Vader's peak performance next to Anakin's just before Obi-Wan Kenobi destroyed him. We'll examine lightsaber fighting styles (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan and Count Dooku), force powers, and everything in between in this episode of Star Wars Theory. by Star Wars Theory

The Real Reason Palpatine Sent Anakin to the Jedi Temple During Order 66: In Star Wars revenge of the sith, once anakin cut off the hand of Mace Windu, and palpatine tested him out of the window, dubbing the chosen one as Darth Vader. He sent Anakin to the jedi temple, and then to Mustafar to wipe out the separatist leaders, ending the war. Why didn’t palpatine just send anakin to Mustafar, while the clones took out the jedi at the temple? Risking Anakin against Jedi Masters all defending themselves at once might have cost Palpatine all he had worked so hard for with Anakin, losing him in a duel. Let’s look at the answer as to why Palpatine sent Anakin to the Jedi Temple first, from the Star Wars revenge of the sith junior novelization. by Star Wars Theory
