Why Palpatine Knew Ventress Could BREAK Anakin (Yavin's Darkest Duel)

Why did the duel on Yavin IV leave a permanent scar on Anakin Skywalker?

In this deep-dive Star Wars Legends breakdown, we explore the fateful duel between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress on the jungle moon of Yavin IV — one of the most intense and personal lightsaber battles of the Clone Wars. Far from a standard mission, this confrontation tested Anakin’s loyalty to the Jedi, his control over his rage, and his ability to protect those he cared about.

Was this duel secretly orchestrated by Darth Sidious to push Anakin further toward the dark side? Why did Anakin unleash so much anger — and what did it teach him about power, fear, and the limits of Jedi restraint?

We analyze this pivotal moment in Legends lore and how it marked a critical step in Anakin’s transformation into Darth Vader.
