The fear of loss is the path to the dark side… and yet the Jedi feared the loss of their dominion via The Republic. Which raises the question, are not the Jedi bound by fear? They fear the fall of the Republic, they fear the Sith and their return, and they fear letting systems fall; are they not suppose to adopt “let go of all you fear to lose?” (Yoda, ROTS)
It seems a true Jedi has to step back from conflict completely because it leads to fear of loss, and “fear is the path to the dark side.” (Yoda, TPM). While the Sith in contrast use conquest and thrive via Conflict and fear.
Anakin being trained as a Jedi Knight doomed him to fall, the Clone Wars put the thirst for combat and power in him. It was inevitable he would become Darth Vader, because he was already conquest oriented thanks to the Clone Wars.
Palpatine did a stroke of genius, the Clone Wars transformed Jedi into potential inquisitors and made Anakin his disciple.
