Oooh really? I haven't notice anything strange in Darth Vader's personnality...I only noticed his ''breathing problem''.

Is the APA not aware Darth Vader is not a real guy?

In case no one gets it. The lines are from a parody of episode 3 trailers.<a class="user" href="http://www.sequentialpictures.com/moviestarwarsepisode3.html">http://www.sequentialpictures.com/moviestarwarsepisode3.html</a>

Palpatine was his mentor and father-figure. The fact that he was a Sith Lord was something Palpatine EASED into Anakin's knowledge a long time before he flat-out TOLD him he was a Sith Lord. The point being that Anakin more resembled a Sith than a Jedi (emotions, attachment, intra-personal relationships like having a WIFE) at the point where Palpatine revealed his true nature to him. And Anakin realized that Palpatine wasn't any different from the man he'd grown to admire after the revelation than before... The dreams of Padme's death were not a question of "if" to Anakin. It WAS going to happen unless he did something to stop it. Palpatine offered the only alternative Anakin could conceive and he leaps at the chance.

Don't these French psychiatrists have real people's mental problems they should be spending their time on?
