anakin skywalker does not use jedi mind tricks
not once in the films
do you think that’s a coincidence
not on your life buddy
anakin skywalker does not have it in him to overrule another being’s free will
he murders a bunch of children with a laser sword
But he didn’t mindrape anyone.
Not like his grandson. His grandson mindrapes everybody.
let’s be honest, the jedi didn’t want balance in the force, tehy wanted to rule it. They were not much different from the sith in that regard. Anikin did fulfil his prophecy by disposing of both the jedi and the sith leaving the new order of neutral force users (luke) to pave the way
- The Sith talk a noble game but they rarely do anything other than try to seize power.
- The Jedi talk a noble game but they rarely do anything at all.
To me, that’s a huge difference between the two.
Also Luke wasn’t really Neutral, he believed in all the Jedi stuff and tried to rebuild the Jedi. For all we know the prophecy was a bunch of malarkey- Yoda certainly seemed to think so.
Jedi were so concerned about sith bringing imbalance when there were only two sith and a million jedi. Light side and dark side are just illusions, there is only the force. That’s why luke, a force user who used a combination of both “light” and “dark” was is the one to keep the balance after anikin, who destroyed both the jedi and sith, brought the balance.
