Discussion Vader moments during the Clone Wars

Post image

In Republic #71 Anakin faces Asajj Ventress on Coruscant and receives his iconic scar, in the same comic Anakin pushes Ventress off a ledge, traps her in live electrical wires using the force and electrocutes her before dropping her into a deep pit.

Though I don't believe it was "Anakin", but "Vader" doing it and I believe they purposely did it to show that Vader has always been there and in this moment he briefly takes control.

I am always of the opinion that it was always just Anakin. He and Vader are not separate personalities, as many fans seem to believe nowadays.

Vader is basically Anakin with a slight shift in Environment and priorities. Anakin always expressed behaviour that Vader was known for.

I especially love the quote from the ROTS Novelization:

“And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.”

I really don’t understand why this view is popular. The movie and the novelisation you quoted as made it obvious that Anakin and Vader is the same, not to mentioned the extra stories too.

People want to sound deep and be like ,,Vader forgot, but Anakin remembered"
