Even if he thought Padmé betrayed him, ultimately he felt it was Obi-Wan's fault. Basically, Anakin never stopped loving her, even when he got burned after fighting with Obi-Wan, even when he was reborn as Vader.
In any case, Star Wars: Darth Vader #23 (from Greg Pak, Raffaele Ienco, Carlos Lopez and VC's Joe Caramagna) just gave an indication that Skywalker's love remained intact during his time as the much-feared Dark Lord.
However, when they next met in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Anakin and Padmé's feelings for one another grew into something resembling love, and their wedding at the end of the film solidified their relationship as one of the most important romances in Star Wars history.
No sexual or romantic relationships whatsoever. In all documented canon sources, Vader's only relationships were with that of his inferiors and the Emperor, those being cordial and not of love or compassion. He only served the Empire to bring law and order to the galaxy by any means possible.
Nonetheless, as she dies, Padme tells Obi-Wan that there is still good in Anakin. Even something as heinous as that couldn't fully break her love for Anakin.
At some point after his transformation into the armored Darth Vader, Amidala's husband, the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker came to visit the mausoleum, stricken by grief and remorse for his part in her death.
Did Anakin regret choking Padme? Oh yeah. He pushed the memories out of his mind for a couple of decades. But after he faced his son, Luke, in Empire Strikes Back, it was all he could think about.
Every time she speaks, he remembers Padmé. Fighting alongside Sabé reminds him of fighting alongside his wife. While that is certainly painful enough, it's also reminds Vader of the man he used to be, a past he had long ago attempted to kill and bury. However, the memory of Padmé via Sabé won't let his past stay there.
Padme did not cheat on Anakin here is why: Padmé and a Anakins relationship was very strong they both were deeply in love. In the clone wars there is an episode called ““The Rise of Clovis.” long story short a former flame of Padmé's returns and is trying to rekindle with Padmé. Unbeknownst to him she is married.
It's clear that Darth Vader wishes that Padmé joined him so that they could have remained together. But there are moments in Marvel's other Darth Vader series that suggest that, while the Sith Lord is very much still obsessed with the idea of Padmé, her betrayal may have caused him to think ill of his late wife.
At least partially, Padmé is experiencing a kind of Stockholm Syndrome or more specifically, the idea of equating affection with crime, a disorder known as hybristophilia. Anakin confesses his crime of killing the Sand People to Padmé, and later, she totally tells him she loves him.
Padmé was just a friend. It's only the way he talks about her around Leia that could make one wonder if he harbored feelings for the Queen and Senator from Naboo.
He knows it's Anakin, and the events in this week's episode of The Clone Wars, "A Distant Echo," prove it. And I think Padmé is savvy enough of a political operator to let people think that Clovis could have been the person who fathered the child, if only to avert suspicion from her relationship with Anakin.
His only reason for turning to the dark side was a need to protect the ones he loved and to learn the secrets of preventing death. From Anakin's point of view, becoming Palpatine's apprentice was simply a way of becoming more powerful, and all the evil tasks he had to complete were to bring him closer to his goal.
The added risk Darth Vader takes in allowing children to live in a situation where he could have killed them proves that he regrets killing Younglings and will avoid harming any more children for the rest of his days, though intense intimidation is a dark strategy to avoid repeating his Youngling massacre.
But the twist was that Palpatine lied to him by telling him a different story. The emperor told Vader that Padmé died due to Vader's rage when he used the Force to choke her, as the former Anakin couldn't believe it because he felt that she was alive before he released his hold over her.
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
The marriage, witnessed by the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, was kept secret due to Amidala's place as a prominent Senator in the Galactic Republic and because of Skywalker's membership in the Jedi Order; the Jedi Code prevented Jedi from falling in love and forming attachments such as marriage.
Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife. He had no idea Padmé had given birth before she died, still less that the Jedi had spirited the children away and hidden them.
It's not shown, but it is clearly insinuated that Anakin killed the younglings. This is confirmed later in the movie when Obi-Wan informs Padme that Anakin killed them. Both are torn apart with hurt and confusion, trying to make sense of something so terrible. How could Anakin do such a thing?
Yes, he remembers everything about his past (just not based on reality), but he probably doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about it, and when he does, his memory of things is clouded and twisted by the lies of the sith, the dark side, and his own flawed thinking and character.
Padmé was well aware that Anakin had committed dark crimes that would've started his fall to the dark side.
Yes, when Darth Vader turned back to Anakin Skywalker and sacrifice himself to save his son, he dies and Obi-Wan uses the force to connect with Anakin's spirit. In that time Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan, desperately asking him to forgive him for everything he has done to him and everybody over the years.
Originally Answered: After Padme died why did Anakin choose to stay on the dark side? The only reason why Anakin joined the dark side in the first place was to save Padme from dying during her pregnancy. He had no choice after the events of Episode III. He had lost his wife and his friends/comrades in the Jedi Order.
Anakin foresaw and feared Padme's death in childbirth.
The original spark behind Anakin's turn was the nightmare that saw his wife dying in childbirth. He thought the Dark Side would grant him the power to prevent that reality from coming true.
