Only a handful of people in the galaxy knew Anakin was Vader. Not to doubt you, but do you have a source on that? Seems more likely that, as the others have said, he was pitched as the one "good" Jedi who died defending the Empire against the others. 'Cause you would think that somewhere, there would be holos of him and the 501st marching into the Jedi Temple, no?
LordVader66 posted:If there were holos, they caught a hooded being dressed in black leading the clones. Who knows exactly who that could have been?

With the political power Palpatine had, those holos could have quickly disappeared as well. I'm sure it was a bit of a sore subject for Palpatine as well, as Anakin had become quite close to the Emperor as Order 66 drew near.
