Anakin loved his mother, hel loved Padme, he loved his children and would probably love his father if he had the chance. Anakin was from birth destined to enter the Jedi council and lead it to victory of the Good Side of the Force.<br /><br />However, Anakin’s path was effectively blocked. Yoda, which seemed incapable of emotions, argued that it was (also) anger in Anakin. Yoda, which has a lifetime ten times any human, required patient from Anakin. That patient kept blocking Anakin and let his frustration and anger grow. <br /><br />Finally, as any human can understand, it tipped over for Anakin. Hate overran love and the dark emperor collected him and hold him in thraldom. The Jedi council was overran, most leaders assassinated and the whole organisation was destroyed. Yoda, however, was aware of the assassinations in time and escaped to the swamp he once crawled out of.<br /><br />On a much later occasion, Yoda demanded patient from Anakin’s son Luke, when Luke insisted on rescue his sister. Yoda decided not to inform Luke that Darth Vader was his long lost father Anakin. This almost killed them all.<br /><br />In my point of view, the real reason for this Star-Wars worst-case scenario was Yoda’s lack of EQ (Emotional IQ), in addition to his fear of loosing dominant power in the Jedi council. Yoda must have been thinking “What’s love got to do with it?”.<br />
