Why Palpatine was Extremely Shocked that Anakin Killed the Tusken Raiders (Not Why You Think) 

Palpatine be like: A Suprise to be sure but a welcomed one

Obi-Wan: "Senator, did Anakin slaughter an entire village of sandpeople?" Padme: "Uhh... no. He was just uhhh... gathering a bouquet of pretty sunflowers for me." 🙂🌻

Anakin told Padme and Palpatine, huh… Hypothesis: If one commits genocide, one can tell people from Naboo whose names start with ‘P’ and they will still accept you.

Palps: "I mean, this is good. I just didn't think he had it in him!"

So Vader created Darth Krayt in an indirect manner.

There was the main problem. As Anakin often thought, and I believe said once in the novelization of the Clone Wars movie, the Jedi would never understand him. They never knew what it was like to love a mother or a wife. And as Djinn Altis later said in another Clone Wars novel, the Jedi were trying to get Anakin to control his emotions by effectively strapping a straight jacket to them, rather than learning to channel them. The Jedi code might work for those who grew up in the Jedi Temple, because they were Jedi only. Anakin grew up outside the Temple before joining. He wasn't only a Jedi. He was an individual and a Jedi. He refused to give up his emotions and individuality. A'Sharad understood that, as did Palpatine, since they both grew up as individuals before joining their respective orders. It was only in Labyrinth of Evil and ROTS, back in 2005 before the Clone Wars cartoon and Ahsoka came out, that Obi-Wan began to understand that despite all their training, Anakin still had his feelings and was more than willing to feel and act on them. After seeing the recordings of Anakin attacking the Temple, Obi-Wan said Anakin should never have been brought to the Jedi temple. And he was right. Anakin could never be the kind of Jedi Obi-Wan, Mace, Yoda, and all the others were. I think Anakin would have fit in more with the Jedi of Nomi Sunrider's time. Anakin represented the Jedi of a long distant past. As I recall in the Life and Times of Obi-Wan Kenobi, it wasn't until the events of ROTJ, mainly when Anakin reemerged and saved Luke from Palpatine that Obi-Wan understood what Qui-Gon was trying to tell him. Yes, Anakin slaughtered the Tuskens and opened himself to the dark side. Yes, he turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. But deep down inside, there was still the good man that Anakin was. Just as Padmé believed. That is what Qui-Gon was trying to tell Obi-Wan - Anakin needed comfort and understanding, not harsh judgment. Obi-Wan said that only Siths deal in absolutes. Unfortunately, the same could be said about the Jedi. You either followed the Code, or you're expelled from the Order. Anakin more or less saw that, and realized that he would find no healing from the Jedi. Only Padmé and Palpatine saw his heart. Understood his heart. One did what she could to heal and comfort his wounded heart and soul. The other manipulated them to his own ends.

Funny. That the very man that is mentoring you about the death of your mother, and the slaughter that you're guilty of, is guilty of murdering his own family.

Honestly one of the best scenes in AoTC and truly showed how he could become Darth Vader all the more easily.

The conversation between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi was amazing. Thank you for this information!

Anakin was right. Those raiders would've continued killing more innocent people.

Though I love Anakin’s character, a flaw I have with him is that, quite a lot of times, Shmi is kind of glossed over. Of course, he didn’t want to lose Padme like he did Shmi (which, eventually of course, he did). I mean, it’s clear the topic of, let alone the individual that is Shmi Skywalker wasn’t ever too high on the Jedi’s to do list. We get great character development for Anakin in the clone wars series but Shmi only appears once in a vision and I don’t recall her being mentioned beyond that. In the early stages of the Clone Wars, the grief over her death must’ve been fresh, but it doesn’t really often appear that way to me.

One of the most darkest sences in star wars history

What's more peculiar is A'Sharad Hett fell even FURTHER than Anakin Skywalker did, strangely enough. Read the 'Star Wars: Legacy' series by Dark Horse Comics.

This is an excellent video that now makes me think what if Anakin was A'Shared's padawan. Truly makes me reconsider the whole Qui-Gon aspect and brings more personal empathy when his mother and trauma Tatooine was involved.

One of Anakin's coolest moments.

Biggest wasted opportunity in Ep 2 was Palpatine not going with Anakin to find his mother. Anakin had the visions she was in danger, the jedi failed to act and waited too long. Palpatine should've stepped in to be the one to help him (maybe with the ulterior motive of killing him, then changes his mind after he turns to the darkside). Instead of telling Padmae what he did (and her accepting it, made 0 sense) he should've confessed to Palpatine ready to face his punishment, and Palpatine should've been the caring father that told him it was going to be alright and covered up the crime for him. Would've cemented their relationship and shown Anakin (after he reveals himself as Sidious in Ep3) how the jedi are failures that refuse to act while the Sith get things done.

palpatine was very happy though for sure

I could also see Plo Koon aiding Anakin in his emotions if he told Obi-wan about his past miss deeds and ending up banished from the temple. Plo Koon would step in and invite him to train at his temple on his home world. That would be interesting.

Hett was sadly an ironic echo of his own teachings as a Jedi and he was defeated by the most unlikely Jedi who followed through the pure Jedi Teachings.

Palpatine: He got dat DAWG in em! Smell the shirt, Blue! Get the scent! Damn, that Blue’s a good dog!🐶

it was the battle of Jabim that laid foundation of Darth Vader and this event as well

What is it? “Pain. Suffering. Death I feel…Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain, terrible pain.”

This youtuber’s dedication to starwars, marvel, and Jurassic park/world is literally PERFECT. I’ve been a fan of yours ever since the beginning and I do love your Avengers action figures. May the force be with you my old friend.

To be honest I am not so sure if Anakin would be banished from the order. People comment on that without realizing that once council decided Anakin would be train, they already had certain responsibility for him. As a Jedi Knight he was already very powerful, so banishing invidual like this from the order and letting him loose knowing he has genocidal tendencies? I like to believe even dogmatic Old Republic Jedi were not THAT stupid.

Loving the recent vids this channel has been putting out, maintaining my interest in these great characters and star wars as a whole, the force is strong with this one ❤️

You can actually hear Qui Gon say "Anakin! Anakin!" during the movie.

The only reason anakin ever became so disillusioned by thr order and feel to the dark side was because they told him that his emotions were a sin. That his connections were a crutch and a weakness. Qui Gonn was the only jedi in the council who understood the ways of old that didn't ostracize people based on their emotions. The light can never exist without the dark. The path of the grey jedi is the only path than can truly show why the light is the path to follow.

I find it interesting that Anakin would tell a Tuskin Raider (that turned out to be a human).

Anakin consistently lacked trust in Obi-Wan, especially regarding personal matters. However, considering Obi-Wan's impulsive nature as seen in his own youth and in various canonical stories, it's likely he would have understood Anakin's actions. If Anakin had confided in Obi-Wan, I doubt he would have disclosed it to the Council; Obi-Wan's character is more flexible and empathetic than commonly perceived. He would likely have drawn on his experiences with Qui-Gon to guide Anakin through his emotions and provide him with peace.

Thank you once again for your videos, which are yet another beautiful and touching story of the sadness.😢😢

Anakin did nothing wrong. The Tuskens started it , Anakin merely finished it.

The Jedi are to blame. They are the one's who forbid normal attachments and excuse if not condone slavery and not rescuing his mother in the first place

Love this video my friend! I never knew this!

Anakin being comforted by the one who'd become Darth Krayt is a certain level of irony/foreshadowing of Anakin's own fall. I do dosagree though Het wouldn't of been the next best teacher for Anakin as a act of compassion doesn't eliminate the fact Anakin had developed prejudices against the Tuskans as a people, I feel he'd of made for a good confidant though.

Palpatine: “No way, really!? This is going to be easier than I thought… I mean they killed your mother it was only natural…”

Palpetine, the father figure who cared about him and Anakins best interests... 😏

Seriously, what is that dark intro music called Stupendous Wave?! I absolutely love it!

This is extremely powerful.Very touching moment. Obi-Wan didn't understand Anakin. Not yet anyway. Tuskan Jedi is the only one who completely understood. Qui-Gon is completely right. I don't think anyone else knew. May the Force be with you too😊

I don’t understand, how was kenobi able to hear Qui Gon if he didn’t have the training yet to contact people from the other side of the force? Even though the Kenobi series despite how many times he had tried to communicate with Qui Gon, he was not able to.

Ive always felt that Palpatine was behind Anikans mother being kidnapped, tortured and killed

Plot Twist: Yoda didn't confront Anakin because he also committed genocide in his time.

I feel for Anakin The Jedi did him very dirty I can see his perspective

What is the song at the very end of the video. Also I know know any of that and I thought it was awesome. Thanks for making this video, and all the other ones 👍

In my head I heard”PERSONALLY, that sounds like simple mathematics. But that’s just me!”

I didn’t even know there was a Tusken Jedi.

thanks!

"You should not judge if you failed to understand"... huh...

I think the Larrs did learn about it either over hearing or by rumors then put two and two together themselves but where thinking Padam

Anakin’s 1st taste of The Darkside.

"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"

Now I want a “What if…” of these two from three different points: The Dark Side, The Light Side, and The Balance. I think it would be quite interesting.

I’ve been wondering for a while what those Tusken goofballs looked like. 😮

Most of your video titles I can answer with just 5 words lmao.

Palpatine: "Damn, the plan is going even smoother than I thought it would."

Could you possibly talk about Waru?

We need more videos about ashod and anakin they would be a understanding master and padawan duo.

Disney and Dave filoni removed all the darkness that star wars use to have

quigon really tried stopping anakin from falling but failed

It's insane when you think of it, the choosen one created the choosen one of the dark side Darth krayt lol

The fact that he didn’t tell the council…. How often are things like this happening within the Jedi

Good on the pseudo tusken for not betraying Anakin to the council, but he is a fool for not talking to Anakin's master

Hett learning makes sense being a Tuskan Raider

I remember seeing Attack of the Clones in the theater. People actually cheered when Anakin killed them. This was shortly after 9-11.

I have always thought that Anakin had to become Vader or he could not be the chosen one...Why ? Because to balance the force he had to do both...Yin Yang

After Yaddle's death, did the jedi council ever find out what might have happened to her? Did she just disappear without a trace in their perceptive? I've been looking through your backlog, but haven't found the answer yet.

I commend you for using legends comic art. Shoutout the superior comic book artist Jan Duursema, who literally shats on at least 80% of the now canon Star Wars comic artists I’ve unfortunately seen the past decade.

Ironically A'Sharad Hett also became a Sith in legends 300 years later as Darth Krayt.

I've heard rumors that Palps arranged for the tuskins to kidnap shmi

Shouldve had more faith in Obi Wan. He didnt snitch about his love to Padame

Obi-Wan was such a dick to Anakin. Qui-Gon literally called Obi out on his shit so much more than anyone ever seemed to have.

Palpatine thought that Anakin was close to finding the #TDBank💳 card... 🌎💘💰

Does Charlie Hopkinson know about this? 😂

The very idea that the Jedi tollerated slavery shows them in the very worst light. They also reject personal attachements - the very thing worth fighting for. The more I learn of the Jedi, the more I dislike them. What a disappointment.

Man. Anakin just doesn’t like sand.

Dammmmmmmmmn Palpy's skin looking old AF. Does holding all that hate in hurt?!?! I know my eyes feel old just looking at you Sithari...🤣🤣🤣

Haven't been this early in forever, but also hey free Star Wars Lore.

If anyone would understand what Anakin did and tried to help him it would have been Quinlan Vos given his struggle with the dark and the light

Anakin and asharad are so similar

Still there is a missing link on the chains of events. How is it possible that Palpatine and Anakin stayed in contact during Anakin's Jedi training and why? Why the masters allowed him to contact an outsider?

heck if a sith like palptine was shocked himself aobut the tusken issue mae his job a bit more easy for him to help anaken to hone in that temper of his a bit more.

Yoda knew,no way he didn't com on. Mace knew somethinggg happened with Skywalker

There were maybe 30 Tuskens in that camp. It hardly amounts to genocide.

Personally I think that after his death Skywalker would have confided in his son and throughout there training I think that Ani would have hinted to Ashoka that whilst he was a young jedi he did something unforgivable in the eyes of the order but never really went into detail as to what it was or way but I have a feeling that due to Ashoka knowing her master so well she could have eventually connected the dots but been to afraid of the backlash from either anikan being expelled from the order or him leaving her if she were to tell anyone what she thought so she kept it to herself

So, in part, I'm just happy for another Legends reference, and a Legacy one, as I really liked Legacy, but for that other person to be Darth Krayt, that's odd, but cool. Sadly, he wouldn't stay in that same mindset, either, and then go stalking Skywalker's descendants 120 years later. I miss Legacy.

Sandman killing the Sand People was a great scene. A nice bit 9f foreshadowing of what he'd become.

Qui Gon was not saying it was right and would have made that clear to anikan but he would have also understood that anikan was different than the other jedi he grew up close to his mom and needed support first than punishment

But palpatine did have a point Mace windu and the Jedi never did care about anyone even though they said they did it proves that they were very dogmatic that's why Luke never allowed his new Jedi order to go that way he knew that that's what led to their downfall Obi-Wan's dogmatic views definitely blind him he should have just been more like Qui-Gon at least Qui-Gon jinn understood Obi-Wan didn't do and that's why in some ways he failed

Make sense the conversation we never saw cause Palpatine said about Duko he colut your arm u wanted revenge rember the sand plp?

So many mistakes were made leading up to Anakin's transition to the dark ...

Poor Obi-Wan. He was always low key blamed for everything. Also, how could Padme go on to marry a guy who told her that he killed a bunch of people including younglings? That never sat right with me.

I wonder what Krayt thought about Vader🤔🤔🤔

as someone who has struggled greatly with my own anger issues I have pity on Anakin because I too know what blind hate and rage is

So video request. Can mother talzin truely die?

Where it downhill

Why did this actually make me sad??

I honestly don't think Obi-Wan would have turned him in. He would have probably confided in someone outside the order to help some kind of trauma hospital or outsource healers but I think Obi-Wan love and dedication to anakin and promise to qui gon Jin to train him he would do everything to help him

(Not Why You Think) It was exactly what I thought 🤣🤣🤣

You cannot judge Palpatine, because you do not understand. Long live the Empire.

I have a ? Why didn't vador learn sith force lightning

WHAT
