The death of Jesus was justified by the religion and preaching of the Jews. The Jews, in history, have paid dearly since. Though the Christian/Catholic Religion have vastly spread since, the fact remains that Jesus was killed because of his freedom of speech and powerful mind. Jesus fulfilled his prophecy according to the Bible and ancient texts. He sacrifices himself for the good of the people.
In a similar way Anakin was persecuted by the Jedi and were sort of punished like the Jews. They were victims of Evil. In the end Anakin Skywalker sacrifice himself to save the universe, and his son. He fulfils the prophecy, thus making him a hero forever.
