There's something about that last scene that I don't really know how to put into words
For me, Anakin and Vader are and always have been two entirely separate characters that I just can't merge together. When I watch the OT, I don't see Anakin. I'm not reminded of the young chosen one from the PT or TCW. When I watch TCW, I see nothing of the empire's most brutal enforcer. Once Anakin puts on that helmet, he just ceases to be Anakin
But that last scene. I don't know what it was, but for the first time, I saw Anakin in that suit. That wasn't some separate character that landed at the crash site. That was very clearly Anakin picking up the lightsaber of his friend and apprentice that he never got to say goodbye to. That was Anakin looking up at the sky and toiling over his many mistakes. That was Anakin that sheathed her saber and turned away from the faces of Ahsoka and the Clones staring at him, reminding him of what he'd done.
He might've been wearing a mask and long flowing cape, but that was Anakin, clear as day. That was the hero whose adventures we've been watching for over a decade, and so much pain and anguish was captured in just a few minutes with no dialogue whatsoever
