Anakin's transformation
Under the influence of Emperor Palpatine, Anakin was persuaded to join the dark-side of the force. In an effort to save his beloved from the dream he was given about her. After an epic battle between him and his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi, his original lightsaber was destroyed. In this moment filled with symbolism and metaphors, Anakin literally and figuratively left his old life and beliefs behind and accepted his new existence as Darth Vader.
Always two there are
As a new apprentice of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious (Palpatine), Anakin built a new lightsaber. This variant was given a deep red color that symbolized not only the dark side of the force but also Anakin's new role as Darth Vader.
A red lightsaber became a symbolic weapon for everyone from the dark-side. It is an expression of brute force, authority and ruthlessness against anyone who stood in his way.
