Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.
...did he, though?
I'd say so
-
plucked from poverty and slavery, despite his mother remaining helpless, by a Jedi that was a part of an order that ultimately saw him as an unscrupulous means to an end of maintaining their power
-
he felt as though he could make a bigger difference than he was allowed if stated order relinquished their attempt at controlling him
-
this feeling was vindicated by his mother's torture and subsequent death
-
had his previously instilled beliefs challenged by two men he respected
-
incredibly strong motivation to go against the Jedi's wishes to save the one person he valued more than life itself
