2. His fatal flaw was his rage over his mother's death.

Edited on Tue Jun-26-07 04:23 PM by Redbear

With all his amazing power he could not save her. He showed that blinding, illogical rage after her death.

The dreams of Padme's death had a powerful effect and awoke that rage inside him. Siddius sensed that and manipulated Anikin by promising the dark side would keep Padme alive.

Once Ankin committed to the dark side, it took over his mind very quickly. That speed seems to relate mainly to Anikin's deep inside rage because the dark side feeds on rage.

In Episode V, Vader keeps urging Luke to get mad because rage is the path to the dark side. In III, Ankin already has that rage, so he slips fairly easily into Vader.
