[One of his flaws is that he's so ready to believe that everyone is against him. And unlike those from the future, she and Obi-Wan have seen Darth Vader with Anakin's face. It's harder for her to hate him, true, and she's not blind to his flaws, but she's also still trying to make peace with the monster on Mustafar on a nightly basis.
And though she knows that Anakin chooses that path, she can't blame him. She knows too much about why and how he Fell. She just wishes he'd have talked to her on any of the occasions she begged him to open up to her.
Which is why his effort here is so much sweeter than anyone else can understand.]
I didn't say you were perfect, Anakin. No one is. We're all flawed. And, to be fair, Obi-Wan and I know who you are, what you've done and what you can do if given the chance. Luke...Luke still has little boy fantasies about his father. I don't think Owen was able to stamp them out of him the way he wanted.
As for the others, it will take time. Everything takes time. Hopefully we have that here.
[She tilts her head up so she can look at him completely.]
Even if we don't, I want you to know that I love you more than life itself and will do anything I can to help you.
