Star Wars Just Changed the Meaning of Anakin's Tusken Raider Massacre (Making It Even Darker)
Anakin's slaughter of Tusken Raiders was the first step towards eradicating the goodness in his heart. The contrast between Anakin saving a Tusken as a child and slaughtering them as an adult is heartbreaking. Anakin's massacre would have broken his mother's heart, as shown in the Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special.
Warning: Contains Spoilers for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special! Anakin Skywalkers hatred of the Tusken Raiders fueled his massacre of their people in the Star Wars prequels, as they were responsible for the death of his mother, Shmi, thereby invoking a murderous rage within Anakin that the young Jedi Padawan had not yet felt at that time. Anakin describing how he killed the Tuskens in Attack of the Clones is an immensely dark scene, and now, that atrocity has just gotten even darker.
