In various Star Wars media, including the films and expanded universe, there are instances where characters attempt to manipulate Anakin Skywalker. A key figure in this manipulation is Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), who exploits Anakin's fears, insecurities, and desires, particularly his fear of loss and deep attachment to Padmé Amidala.
Palpatine uses subtle manipulation to draw Anakin closer to the dark side, presenting himself as a confidant and mentor. He plays on Anakin's ambition and desire for power, leading him to make choices that ultimately contribute to his transformation into Darth Vader.
If you're referring to "Malicious" as a specific character or context, please clarify, as the term alone doesn't directly tie into the established Star Wars canon.
