Anakin Skywalker's Character

A series of Meta Essays on Anakin Skywalker:

Anakin's Intelligence

An essay that explores how Anakin is not unintelligent, but rather is a victim who was taken advantage of from childhood.


Anakin Skywalker and C-PTSD

An examination of Anakin's mental and emotional state through the lens of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Anakin's Pendulum of Self-Worth

How Anakin's confidence is directly tired to how valuable he believes people find him.
 

Anakin's Training: Implications of a High Midichlorian Count

Speculation on what Anakin's training, childhood, and potential must have been like if he has a higher midichlorain count than Master Yoda. What does that even mean?


Mechu-Deru: Anakin's Relationship With Machines and the Force

Why Anakin might have liked tinkering with droids, and how the Jedi may have viewed it.


A Nurturing Environment?

An analysis of the apparent emotional abuse leveled on Anakin as demonstrated through the contrast of his behaviour in The Phantom Menace vs. Attack of the Clones.

A Nurturing Environment? II

How the theme of Anakin as a victim of emotional abuse is consistently portrayed throughout the prequel trilogy.


The Development of Fear

Why fear of loss, specifically of loved ones, has always been Anakin's worse fear over any other. This essay discussed how it might have developed in the midst of slavery.


Is Anakin Vain?

This post was inspired by a comment I heard someone make that Anakin is unaware that he is attractive. (Which was supposed to be doubly ridiculous when everyone raves about how hot he is.) So is Anakin aware of his looks and does it matter to him?
