Best Answer

He was still devoted to the Emperor because he thought it was what was right for him to do. It wasn't until the Emperor was about to kill Luke that he remembered the promise he made to Padme that he wouldn't let her die, and he remembered that he broke that promise by killing her and he decided that he would not allow his own son to die in front of him. It was essentially his way of trying to make up for killing his wife.

How does Darth Vader kill the secret apprentice?

Darth Vader never kills the Secret Apprentice during the game. He only pretends to so Emperor Palpatine will think the Apprentice is dead which allows Darth Vader to continue with his plot to overthrow the Apprentice. In the real ending of the game, Emperor Palpatine is the one to kill the Apprentice, however. Well, the Emperor didn't actually kill Vader's Secret Apprentice.

Is palpatine the greatest sith?

Palpatine is the greatest sith in Star Wars history. He is also the most powerful. Incorrect, Darth Vader Killed Emperor Palpatine.So, Darth Vader Is. Darth Revan or Darth Nihlus more likely, and don't forget Exar Kun and Darth Bane - and Darth Vader turns back to a Jedi before he kills Palpatine, so as a Sith he was never more powerful than his master ( He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil, kept alive by his own dark will - Obi-Wan to Luke about Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi)

Who would win in a fight anakin or Darth Vader?

Since Anakin Skywalker is the same person as Darth Vader, he cannot literally fight himself, but I could argue that in the end, when Darth Vader rebels against Emperor Palpatine, that is a victory for the person he used to be, Anakin Skywalker. So Anakin wins.


Did Darth Vader come to the light side at the end?

not sure if you would call it that but at the end he killed the Emperor to protect his son. In the end, Darth Vader\Anakin Skywalker fulfilled the prophecy


Why does Anakin Skywalker get changed in to Darth Vader?

Because he had a vision of his wife dying in childbirth and was determined to not make that happen. And since he was so close to the Chancellor Palpatine, who is actually Darth Sidious (later known as the Emperor), it allowed Anakin to be easily manipulated by Palpatine and that caused him to slip.
