[Star Wars ROTS] The whole point of Anakin turning to the dark side was to keep Padme alive, with her dead why did he then continue on this path rather than go back to being a Jedi, die himself or try and take out the Emperor?

He seemed to get over her pretty quick for someone who risked it all to be with her in the first place.

He literally had nowhere to go, no one to turn to other than Palpatine. The Jedi were all gone, many slain by his own hand, and the few who survived would never trust him again.

Of course he knows that Palpatine has manipulated him to this point in his life, but with him knowing Palpatine's secret, he's bound to obey or die. And if he truly wished to die, then certainly one of Palpatine's challenges would have ended him quickly.
