He held the rank of Jedi, but the Jedi Council were jealous and didn’t give Anakin what he deserved.
-
He saw visions of his wife dying and was willing to do anything to save her, yes, including killing kids. This isn’t evil; this is true love.

After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.
Justifiable crash-out, to be honest
I don’t agree. His story is a good person, becoming evil, and being redeemed to an extent at death. He was a bad person most of his life. He didn’t start bad. He may not have died bad. But he was bad.
But he was really forgiving!
That’s right! And before you bring it up, this wanker failed him for the last time, and deserved it, so it shouldn’t count against Anakin.
I bet he’s killed more imperial brass than any filthy rebel.
Has to be a good guy.
