Summary Star Wars movies and TV shows have done so much more with Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader since the Star Wars sequel trilogy, revealing one of the franchise's greatest missed opportunities. Anakin is undeniably one of Star Wars' most powerful Jedi and one of the franchise's most compelling characters.
Kylo Ren was clearly obsessed with the idea of his grandfather, but he seemed to fundamentally misunderstand Darth Vader. In fact, Star Wars has since proven that Anakin was a Force ghost at the time. Rather than take advantage of that incredible opportunity, the sequels sidelined Anakin, having him included in the chorus of Jedi voices in The Rise of Skywalker but not developed in any other way. This is especially odd given Hayden Christensen's very vocal willingness to continue participating in Star Wars projects. There are so many more interesting forms Anakin's story could have taken in the sequels.
Specifically, when Ahsoka begins to discuss Anakin's fall and all that he caused, Anakin immediately becomes defensive, and this is when he turns into Darth Vader. While it isn't truly Anakin in the World Between Worlds, this moment is quite telling; this is likely the closest Star Wars will come to revealing how Anakin truly felt about his former Padawan after he had fallen to the dark side. Interestingly, he seems to feel guilt and shame even if he channels that into anger.
2 Anakin's story was different because he was the vergence in the Force itself and, of course, because he was the Chosen One, but the similarities between The Acolyte's protagonists and Anakin Skywalker were surely not coincidental. In part, this seems to be because The Acolyte is becoming an essential piece of Anakin's origin story.
