Many factors contributed to Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side, but certain Star Wars characters contributed to his turn as Darth Vader.
Anakin Skywalker famously turned to the dark side throughout the Star Wars prequel trilogy, with his transition to becoming Darth Vader coming at the end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, but many characters contributed to it. Anakin was stated in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace to be the Chosen One, which inadvertently put more pressure on him to succeed as a Jedi.
With Palpatine secretly being the elusive Sith Lord Darth Sidious, it was clear his end goal was wielding Anakin’s power for his own gain. The final twist in the game Palpatine played in grooming Anakin as his next apprentice was convincing the struggling Jedi that he could teach him how to save Padme from dying in Revenge of the Sith. Palpatine eventually acknowledged that he was the Sith Lord the Jedi had been hunting, but deflected off of that by promising to teach Anakin how to cheat death.
Qui-Gon Jinn Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was the reason why Anakin Skywalker from freed from slavery and started down the path of the Jedi. Upon meeting Anakin and having Obi-Wan confirm his Midi-chlorian count, Qui-Gon was convinced that Anakin was the Chosen One. While Qui-Gon had no idea what would become of Anakin, he brought the boy to the Jedi Temple and ultimately pushed for him to be Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Padawan.
Ahsoka Tano Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, didn’t contribute quite as much to her master’s fall to the dark side as others, but she did little to help him in his time of need, either. At the end of The Clone Wars season 5, Ahsoka was framed for bombing the Jedi Temple and several murders. While Anakin eventually found the real offender, Barriss Offee, and brought her to justice, he was one of the few who witnessed and got Barriss’ side of the story.
The Jedi had lost their way long before Anakin joined the Order, but they nonetheless failed him, and their hubris was their ultimate downfall. Because they did not trust Anakin, it formed seeds of discontent, and the task to spy on the Chancellor was later exploited by Palpatine. If the Jedi and Yoda had been more attentive to the growing darkness in Anakin, the Jedi Council may have been able to fight off the temptation of the dark side and Palpatine.
