There is this common narrative among Star Wars fans that Anakin is the Jedi who cares most for his clone soldiers, but I think, this misses an important part of his character. Anakin may have a close relationship with (some of) his clones, but that doesn't mean he’s free from the authoritarian mindset that defines him.

Anakin’s belief in authoritarian leadership is one of his defining traits and a source of tension in his relationship with Padmé. In Episode II, Anakin’s conversation with her about order and strong leadership ("someone wise should make them agree") gives us a glimpse into his worldview, where he sees control as a necessary tool for peace and stability. It's not subtle.

Anakin thrives as a general in a military hierarchy where he has the power to command and enforce order. His leadership style reflects his belief in decisive action and control. He expects obedience, and when his authority is challenged, he doesn't respond well. He also doesn't respond well when he feels regulated by others, like the Jedi Council.

Fives is a prime example of how Anakin’s relationship with his clones can collapse in an instance when someone seriously questions his authority. And by questioning and allegedly trying to assassinate the chancellor, Fives challenges Anakin's authority by proxy as he deeply respects Palpatine's.

When Fives uncovers the truth about the inhibitor chips and questions the entire system, Anakin is unable to process the challenge in a way that reflects true understanding or empathy for Fives's situation. This reinforces the idea that while Anakin may be fond of his clones personally, his leadership is ultimately grounded in control, not a deeper sense of equality or solidarity with them.

The argument that Anakin’s background as a slave makes him more understanding of the clones' situation may be often invoked to justify the assumption of them being close. However, this doesn’t stop him from reproducing the same power dynamics that disempowered him. Anakin’s struggle is that he’s trying to distance himself from the slave master archetype by being a "good leader", but in doing so, he still maintains the hierarchical structure that strips the clones of real agency.

Especially frustrating when they only talk about Anakin! Like, here's ONE guy with serious childhood trauma who felt restricted and repressed by the Jedi. Clearly the Jedi caused him to do crimes and were also bad for the entire galaxy

wake up babes they're calling the jedi a cult again
