'Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.' -The Sith Code
Passion is the drive or energy behind struggle for life. Why do we struggle so? To 'know thy self' and gain mental strength and direction.
Strength the compelling character, convictions or shared or individual purpose that propels us and compels others to support us or stand by our side.
Power is our discipline, to be used to mould the world to our will. It is inner nature and our choices and actions that are most compelling and thus influential. Power is getting our way often, a goal or purpose that is unimpeded.
Victory is breaking chains, internal or external, the pathological lies, such illusions or delusions that bind us. Total victory is strength, order and security. We are then freed.
We as masters of our destiny, wish to impose Order on the world so that we can take our rightful role and secure the demands of the polis, those who share our vision and others who willing to adhere to or support our will or agenda. A permanently Ordered nation or empire is forged by survival, discipline and duty.

All of this stuff on Anakin flows from a desire for normalcy and being able to raise a family in a country that doesn’t hate its own people and is otherwise high trust and homogeneous, and people crave stories which have that message as a good thing at it’s basis.

In his first meeting with the Jedi Council, Anakin is asked if his "thoughts dwell with his mother." To this, Anakin responds, "I miss her." Keep in mind Anakin is a child who has just been separated from his mother for presumably the first time and is now on an entirely different planet. He expresses one of the most basic and human emotions a boy could express in that moment.
Within 30 seconds, Yoda is telling him he is full of fear and on the path to the Dark Side.
Fast forward to Episode 2. Anakin wants to save his mother from slavery after promising her in Episode 1 as a little boy he would come back and free her. It would be very easy to do. He's served and learned under the Jedi for 10 years, and despite his hotheadedness and youthful mistakes, he remains loyal.
What do the Jedi do? They let his mother die at the hands of alien savages. He has to witness her dying moments.
Yeah, but sure, Anakin is weak.
Oh yeah, and how did Luke wreck Vader btw? Vader threatened to turn Leia to the Dark Side which enrages Luke. Luke defeats Vader in a fit of pure, unadulterated, white hot rage. There's no stoic virtuee in Luke during the final seconds of his duel with Vader. It's the most belligerent and furious we ever see Luke across all three movies.
Finally, you cannot call Anakin weak and claim to understand the story. Anakin is true identity: it's the boy who loves his mother, the young man who fell in love with Padme, the student who trained under Obi Wan, the prodigy pod racer, the Chosen One. That identity was destroyed by the very order that he fought for and was loyal to until it broke him for their corrupt purposes.
The Boomer Jedi view of the world will die and we are going to win.

Imagine? It already happened.
Fuck everyone who is forcing morality into this hypothetical. You all lack basic critical thinking skills.
Imagine a ready made population center of potential super soldiers, already inducted into the awareness of their powers. It would have been so easy to simply alter the dogma. It could have been drip fed through their emerging adolescence, subtly altering their initial teachings of the Jedi. For what these children actually knew, the Sith teachings would have likely seemed to be a natural continuation of the foundational dogma from the Jedi.
Anakin killed an entire generation, generations, of Sith candidates.

Eren Yeager was right.

Paul Atreides, Eren Yeager, and Anakin Skywalker are all men forced into extreme circumstances told by the world around them to roll over and die, and they said, "No." Called evil for choosing to protect their people and loved ones rather than the world which enabled their hardships. Gen X and older Millennials will moralize you to death that you're a bad person for sympathizing them or even saying they made the right choices in the situation they were in.
Younger Millennials and Gen Z sympathize and identify with their struggles, and as a result have told the moralizers to go fuck themselves. As they should.
