Anakin legitimately does not respect or care about any of the people who love him as much as they respected and cared about him. Anakin is so ready to kill, betray, disrespect, and abandon literally any and all of them at the drop of a hat. They would all give up A LOT for him, they all believe in him despite all evidence saying they shouldn't, despite everything we as the audience know proves that they shouldn't, they believe in him. Some of them are willing to believe in him POST GENOCIDE for literally no fathomable reason. He has given these people exactly zero reason to have a single ounce of faith in his goodness because he legitimately seems not to give a shit about any of them in return.
The more we learn about his relationships with people, the more frustrating it gets that anybody even LIKES him, let alone LOVES him, there's so little to even like about him how did it even happen? No one who has written Anakin has managed to write him in a way that makes it in any way understandable that fundamentally good kind people like Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Luminara, and Yoda would like someone as fundamentally cruel and unkind as Anakin is.
Everyone talks about how unbelievable it is that Padme would've fallen for Anakin and so she MUST'VE been brainwashed through the Force by Anakin, but I feel like we should add the entire Jedi Order and the 501st to that, too, because there's just no reason any of them like him and believe in him as much as they do without it.
