The first instance involved Anakin Force choking his victim, a power unquestionably associated with the Dark Side and shunned in Jedi circles. The second did involve unsavory individuals, but Anakin should not have made the situation personal, a fault he displayed multiple times. Ahsoka and Barriss may have felt uncomfortable reporting their superior, but Obi-Wan witnessed the second instance and should have addressed it further than just asking Ahsoka to watch out for him.
After fighting and defeating the feared Count Dooku in the Revenge of the Sith , Anakin was left with a choice -- he could take the Sith back to Coruscant to stand trial or strike him down on the spot.
He decides to go with the latter, at Palpatine's urging, despite clearly expressing that he knew it wasn't the right thing to do. Despite how dangerous and destructive Dooku was, resorting to murder when he had already disarmed his opponent should have been evidence of the dark depths to which Anakin was capable of going.
While Mace Windu did try to do the same thing with Sidious, the Jedi master was well known for often channeling the Dark Side in a controlled form during battle. That he wasn't punished, and instead later promoted while the Council knew of his decision, empowered him to betray Mace Windu, the action that ultimately tipped Anakin over the edge.
Empowered by Palpatine's faith in his abilities, Anakin formally petitioned the Council to make him a member and a Jedi Master at the Chancellor's request. It forced him down some messy pathways and brought him to high heights—everything in the name of love and just love.
It was due to his fear of Padme dying after his mother had died. Anakin blamed himself for the demise of his mother. The nightmare of Padme dying in childbirth made his big fear resurface, thereby pushing him over to the Dark Side. The death of Padme was in part due to her and her broken heart being struck by the Anakin force. In essence, her situation worsened. Padme gave a really painful birth I am sure of that , and to have force choked is not healthy for her. Padme may well have lost the will to live already in a weakened state and now also despondent.
Though Skywalker was an apprentice in the Jedi order, before the events of Revenge of the Sith , he had a very shaky relationship with the Council. Skywalker joined the Order at the age of nine, contrary to the younglings who had been taken as infants. This was a significant taboo for an institution established as the Jedi order, leaving the Jedi ostracized Skywalker.
The younglings remembered that Skywalker never really fit into the Order of Jedi, which probably affected his choice to destroy them. The younglings served as a reminder to Skywalker that he never really fit in with the Jedi Order, which likely impacted his decision to kill them. It was also out of the question to convert younglings. There were several younglings at the temple, which means that restoring them would have been extremely tough, even if younglings were more sensitive to the dark side.
In the canon continuity, Mustafar is itself corrupted by the dark side and has a long history of association with the Sith.
He relates to Peter Parker maybe a little too much. By David Miller Published Jan 21, Anakin tells Padme in Attack of the Clones that he disapproves of the constant deliberation of a democracy, that someone intelligent should be able to unilaterally make good decisions on behalf of the galaxy to swiftly and sufficiently bring justice. When Padme says this is like a dictatorship, Anakin disagrees, almost viewing such control as necessary to bring justice to an unjust galaxy.
An unjust galaxy that led to the enslavement of his beloved mother and eventual torturous death. Uniquely, Palpatine also shares these values, but for different reasons.
First, there are the conflicting values between Anakin and the order. Anakin values attachment, to Shmi as a mother, to Obi-Wan as a brother and father-like figure, to Palpatine as a mentor and father-like figure, and most of all to Padme as a wife and future mother of his child.
However, as he stated in Attack of the Clones, attachment is forbidden by the Jedi as they believe it will lead to the fear, anger, frustration and suffering associated with the Sith and the dark side.
And while, in the case of Anakin, this is true, future information about the Jedi from Luke in The Last Jedi, Rey in The Rise of Skywalker, Palpatine in the Darth Vader comics and other canon sources show that, perhaps, the Jedi were misguided in how bluntly and definitively they rejected attachment.
Perhaps, there was a healthy middle ground for Jedi to experience attachment without being all-consumed by it. He desperately wants to be a Jedi and progress in the order, but at the same time desperately wants to be with and take care of his wife and his future family.
Ultimately, this became a choice for Anakin and a choice that, ultimately, led him to the dark side.
