    I think he didn’t get that encouragement because they didn’t believe it.

      Yeah, from Episode I Windu and Yoda were doubting that Anakin was the Chosen One.

        Tbf, that shouldn’t be a qualifier for Ani to be on his way to a Jedi master. Yoda should’ve shadowed him more to balance out all his war experience

            Terrible parents are more likely to raise terrible off-spring.

            And if you are starved of emotional closeness to a father/mother figure and get manipulated by bad influences like Sidious who is most likely a master in manipulation and gas lighting and have way too much power in the force…Pretty easy to land on the wrong track.

                The later part after Shmi.
                I’d believe her death really made all things fall together.
                If the council rescued her from Tatooine and safeguarded her, this wouldnt have happened as it did.

                As I only partially know the lore from the movies, did Anakin really have someone to talk to except for Sidious, Obiwan and Padme?
                I’d bet as Sisdious being very good as a politician he’d also be excellent at manipulating the low level psyche of Anakin.

                Please correct me if I got some lore part wrong as I do enjoy the discussions about SW lore.

          I’m not saying that he should automatically be Jedi Master but he should have been treated better. Windu was especially hostile with him several times in the movies.
