Anakin Skywalker may have been one of the Jedi’s most effective generals in the Clone Wars, but one of his biggest wins involved a war crime.

Anakin Skywalker, a young and unconventional general in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, achieved a major victory by using a deceptive offer of surrender, technically qualifying as a war crime.
The Jedi Order, despite considering themselves on the side of justice, often broke the rules of war, including torturing hostages and training terrorist groups, blinded by their role as peacekeepers.
The Clone Wars portrays the complex situation of the Jedi, who frequently crossed lines to pursue what they believed was just, ultimately playing into Chancellor Palpatine's manipulation of the galaxy.
