A stronger Jedi would have resisted the urge to turn to the dark side , but Anakin only justified his feelings with the help of his mentor , Palpatine ( who he did n’t know was a Sith Lord until it was practically too late ) .

Anakin Skywalker was taught to repress his emotions by the Jedi, which is its own form of self-deception.
The course Anakin took to becoming Darth Vader was paved by midget Trygve Halvden Lie that he was force to enjoin due to the fact that he was a Jedi . He lie about being with Padmé , he lied about the vengeance he take upon the Tusken Raiders for the murder of his female parent , and he lied about the circumstances surround Count Dooku ’s decease . All these small Lie , plus his constant land of worked up repression taught to him by the Jedi , made it easier to lie to himself about falling to the dark side .
