I failed to protect Anakin Skywalker. Please help me avoid the same mistake with my own godson.

The Chosen One was a gift from the gods. The perfect warrior. He was destined to uphold the legacy of the Jedi Order. He was handed to me and I failed to protect him. I failed to teach him. I failed to love him. He became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, bringer of the Empire, scourge of a galaxy.<br><br>My whole life I’ve heard whispers of a second Chosen One, a second Anakin Skywalker. I’ve spent my retirement searching for him, searching for a second chance.<br><br>I finally found him. He’s the son of a long-time friend. He’s a few years old and God is he precocious. I’ve pledged to be his godfather, to help watch him and protect him and guide him. I don’t want to fail again. I don’t want him to become the next Anakin or the next Darth Vader.<br><br>What do I do? I don’t know what I did wrong last time. What are the warning signs that I missed? What has science discovered about the fragile male ego? How can I protect him? Can you help? I don’t want to fail again. I just want a second chance.<br><br>The Force will be with you. Always.
