It should be noted that OP has previously expressed belief that the only justifiable reason for a character to change their life is loss of someone they were romantically involved with, so this is on brand.

Op believes that Anakin’s love for Padme was more important than anything, including the lives of children.

Nothing justifies murdering children, you psychopath. He wanted to save Padme. Guess what, Padme didn’t want children murdered to save her life. And you think becoming full on evil was justified because his wife died but he didn’t have to become evil. He could have used it as motivation to become a hero instead, like other characters would do. He could have sworn vengeance against the emperor for lying to him and telling him he’d save Padme and then not doing so. He chose instead to be a right hand man to an oppressive dictator. I see Anakin as a complex character, but to say he isn’t a bad person at all is too much
