i’ve seen it explained by them and basically they relate to him bc he’s frustrated by a failing democracy and tries to fix it by turning to authoritarianism. conveniently not mentioning that his genius idea was committing genocide under the guise that the jedi are a rival power that need to be consolidated into a strong executive. sounds pretty damn familiar doesn’t it
Anakin Skywalker becomes a fascist, and he’s also got aura to farm, so they’ve taken to using him as the avatar for their cause. Despite the fact that his entire character is a cautionary tale, and his story ends in him being like “damn I fucked up and am so sorry I did all that” right before dying after overthrowing (pun intended) the fascist ruler he put in power. They’re just playing with dolls and doing AU Star Wars fanfic where the fascists were actually goated.
