Quantcast
Have you ever noticed that most great events in Anakin Skywalker’s life are only suggested (except his duel with Obi-Wan and some stuff in Episode 1), especially when he turns to the dark side?
We never see the Clone Wars.
We never see him kill all the Tusken Raiders.
We never see him kill the young Jedis.
We’re supposed to believe he’s super evil because his eyes turn yellow and he dresses in black? Lucas teased us for years with the evil side of Anakin and it only lasts 10-15 minutes in the saga before he becomes Vader.

Robert Greene’s book ‘The 48 Laws of Power’ is a great read for those who love Sun Tzu’s Art of War. ‘48 Laws…’ is a bestseller and as been considered one of the best books of it’s kind.

Out of pure curiosity, let’s see how the laws apply to good old Darth Vador.

LAW 1


NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER.


The Emperor needs Anakin at his side because he’s the most powerful jedi there is. Anakin respects the Emperor, therefore he’s the second most powerful person in the galaxy.

LAW 2


NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS.


Do you see Darth Vader going out with friends on weekends? Nope. The man only trusts his boss, that’s it. Darth Vador has no girlfriends ever since Padme, and you know why? Because she BETRAYED HIM (or so he thinks).
