[Star Wars] If Anakin Were Granted The Rank Of Master In Revenge Of The Sith, Would He Still Turn To The Dark Side?
gpt
Yeah probably. In the novelisation, it’s clarified that Anakin was desperate to get the rank of Master so he would have access to the restricted sections of the Jedi Archives, where he could possibly learn forbidden Force techniques to save Padme’s life/resurrect Padme’s corpse

Being granted Master would have stroked his ego a little, but he would probably have been disappointed that the Archives didn’t have any “raise dead” spells that would be applicable to his situation. Unless he’s fine with Padme being a mindless voodoo Nightsister zombie with growing green eyes, but that’s doubtful 

So Sidious might have been able to drive Anakin to the Dark Side even easier, because now Anakin knows for sure the Jedi archives don’t have any secret ancient Holocrons that would help his Padme-dying-young thing

Also, given the circumstances, he would probably have been offended anyway, it was pretty clear Anakin was only granted a Council seat because both Palpatine and the Council wanted a spy/informant/go-between in each other’s camps. He might think the Master rank was just a concession to expedite this procedure by making him shut up and stop bitching about it

And even if Anakin did think he was granted the Master post on his own merit, he would probably have found something else to be insecure about - the other Council members not giving him “enough respect”, annoying pro democracy Senators (including Padme) bickering with him and his good buddy Palpatine, Obiwan being sent after Grievous instead of him etc.
