His mothers death was very hard hitting for him in that he wasn’t able to save her from dying, but Yaddle’s Legend death was what started his downfall to the Dark when she sacrificed her life for Anakin.
I love Darth Vader and Anakin, and I agree with you about him being my favorite. If Disney focused more on Darth, because there's so much to cover, they'd be more popular. Thankful that there are channels such as yours that allows us to still stay in touch with the true Star Wars as it should be.
I really love how much of Vader we get from these books in the comics. It’s awesome to be able to see his characters struggle. Thank you so much for all that you do for our community. This is the way brother, that the force be with you.
Breh, anyone else get chills hearing Vader scream “OBI-WANNNNNN” In the finale? The distortion mix of anakins voice intertwined with Vaders was too good. Really brings home the connection of the two characters.
Yeah aggressively agreed. Anakin is by far my favorite for all the reasons. But I'd strive to be like qui Gon. Tho that Darkside has cookies. And that's a bit enticing
My favorite character is Mace Windu. He’s such a unique character! If you read the legends books that feature his POV you find that he’s one of the most introspective, intuitive, passionate and compassionate Jedi. I love that his invention of Vaapad was to ultimately stop himself from turning to the dark side and through that effort became one of the light side’s greatest champions. Plus his self control and determination I think are admirable. The books also humanize him. Under the stony exterior he struggles with self doubt and regrets but learns to overcome them and become a greater person. Plus the writers always go out of their way to show off how bad ass he really is.
I really like how Vader specifically says that he took out the Jedi because he saw them as standing in the way of what he wanted. It makes the scene where he kills Mace even more powerful because that is the literal representation of the Jedi standing in the way, and him having to make the choice between the Jedi represented by Mace, and the only way he sees of accomplishing his goals and saving his wife, which is unfortunately Palpatine. I like that he points out that he never had a loyalty to the Sith that extended beyond his loyalty to Padme. I'd love to read this book sometime, it sounds like Luceno really has a good understanding of the character of Darth Vader.
At first glance at the title, I thought this was going to be Darth Vader breaking the fourth wall and listening to the Revenge of the Sith only to start bawling in his helmet when listening to Anakin's Betrayal.
I think you said it perfectly, that being: people seeing the excitement and drama of star wars sometimes over look the sheer beauty and detail of this world George Lucas made. especially Vader the ultimate tragedy.
I love Dark lord: The Rise of Darth Vader! I think it's so cool you're doing videos on it now, Theory. In fact, watching your videos has been one of the things that's helped me better understand Anakin's character so much more. The animation your doing looks awesome too!
I heard you say "OF COURSE" in the past few videos more than I have heard it in my entire life. I would be happy never to hear that phrase again in my life
My favorite character is thrown, there is so more to him than people think. He is one of the best strategic minds the galaxy has known. He did serve the empire but he wasn't evil in the way most imperials were, he first got into the service of the empire because he believed the empire was the best chance to help defend his people the chiss people from a threat in the unknown regions. He treated the people under his command with respect and many under his command was immensely loyal to him because of that. He was a good hand to hand fighter as well. He rarely lost battles with his superior strategic intellect, he understood his adversies in ways that went over most people's heads. He's one of the best characters that has so much more depth to him most people don't realize he has
A lot of what we find in our favorite characters in Star Wars we can mirror in ourselves. Like with Anakin/Vader, it shows it’s never too late to change for the better and with obi want it shows even at your lowest point you can always find a reason to keep going and better yourself. Star Wars is amazing
Anakin biggest problem was he always thought about himself first. That’s what made him a slave to his reality. Once he decided to place his son first by saving his life, then anakin achieved freedom.
Tbh placing is son before himself is what he thought he was doing with padme to begin with but in the end doing this technically is still selfish. He still killed children before he was a slave to the Emperor truly and murdered mand jedi. However I'm willing to concede what he did as a slave to the Emperor after that point of Mustafar, the truly just thing to do would be to kill himself, but if he did the Emperor would just find a new apprentice. So vader continued until he could find any kind of influence that could turn the tide between himself and the Emperor, and luke was it. So does giving luke what he wants even though that is good in his eyes actually redeem him. That may be the point in most people's eyes for return of the jedi but for me it's the attempt that luke makes that's the point. If you get down to brass taxes a sith could be a force ghost if that information was divulged to another sith or former jedi.
@Calibur but if he had asked padme before the mace windu fight she wouldn't agree with intervening, I don't think. Especially if he told her of the dreams in full. So what theory is saying is that he selfishly chose for padme what was best for her. His thoughts of what was best for her was delusional and forced him to make very poor decisions in what he believed to be her favor.
my favourite Character is Obi Wan, not just in Star Wars, but out of any show or movie ive seen. ever since i was a young child he was my favourite. something about how selfless, caring, skillful and indeed became powerful yet stayed fully humble, etc. for most things, he seems like not only the perfect jedi and how all jedi shouldve been like, but also in real life his characteristics always seemed to be how a man should be. Kenobis my favourite without competition.
the in depth story line is why i love star wars so much and it’s also why i argue that Attack of the Clones is the most important movie in the series based on what occurs and that is why it’s my second favorite out of the 6 (disney doesn’t count for me lol) if you really think about it.. i’d anakin never falls in love with padme in that movie that plot line could never develop and then you add in the death of his mother as well that movie is criminally underrated and hated when it’s a pivotal piece of the story if you appreciate what happens
How come Theory you don’t reference the comics more? The first Disney/Marvel Vader campaign is Vader playing both sides as Palpatine literally puts him in death gauntlets having lost his trust after the destruction of the first Death Star.
One thing people forget about, in legends Padme was a big part, he also had a fear of losing Obi-Wan and R2-D2. That’s why he didn’t want to leave him after killing Dukoo or why he tried to get Obi-Wan to join him too. He has a fear of losing the ones he loved and that were close to him.
You and Dave Filoni always make such beautiful analysis about the prequels of facts that are often overlooked. It's easy to get distracted with the prequel's "sometimes" sketchy dialogue, over-use of CGI etc. But at the same time there's this amazing harmony in the details of its story. Once you see this, it does make the prequels a lot better than on first sight. Also part of why I started to appreciate the prequels so much more after Disney's sequels came out, realized that Star Wars has become a shallow, meaningless fastfood franchise.
Prequels have a strong story underneath the clunky meme dialogue and amazing worldbuilding. They also actually had plenty of practical effects, not just CGI spam as it appears to be. When you are a kid, you are mainly interested in ships, blasters and lightsabers, but later on you can actually appreciate some more nuances themes.
Ok that animation at the end was great, but for a moment there i thought you were trolling there and playing that sequel animation Star Wars Resistance!
I love hearing insights from that novel, both from Vader and Obi Wan. You pointed out something that I've been thinking about a lot recently, and it is that Anakin's decision making on the night he sided with Sidious was purely selfish. It's one thing to sacrifice yourself for someone you love, but he sacrificed thousands of people for a false hope. On top of that, he realized that the Jedi would also be a hindrance to his goal of being a galactic dictator, so they had to be eliminated. Selfishness compounded on selfishness. One thing I will disagree with is that Anakin was a slave to the Jedi. From my understanding, as a Jedi, you could leave at any time, no one was kept there against their will. Anakin even thought about leaving in RotS, and it was only his fear of Padme dying and him finding out information from the Jedi that kept him there. For favorite characters, Obi Wan wins hands down. He experienced so much suffering in his life, the loss of his Master, the Clone Wars, losing Satine, losing Anakin, losing the Jedi, but he never faltered in his dedication to the light. He had flaws sure, because he was human, but he always strove to do the right thing.
Before his injuries on Mustafar, I think Anakin had a decent chance of defeating Mace Windu in battle. But Mace Windu would wipe the floor with Darth Vader
@@taps8781 You’re acting like he’s some low level inquisitor. It’s Darth Vader, one of the most powerful and skilled Sith Lords ever. It’s a close fight come on now.
It's true. He didnt care about pretty much anything. Sounds selfish but it's his way. He followed his path,his love for Padme. He was hero but didn't care. I think I like Anakin too. Yes,it's very sad. Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker,Darth Vader. Qui-Gon is pretty awesome too. Perfect role model :D Nice clip :D The Force will be with you too,always
I love the Darth Vader suit he's the greatest villain ever to me. But man I wish there was a movie or show based on anakin if he didn't get chopped up and lost a good chunk of his force power level
Remember when Yoda said “there is another” this to me is why I think it was Anakin he was talking about... how could it have been princess Leya anyway...? It makes that part so much cooler when u realise he’s talking about Anakin. Well that’s jst how I like to see it...
As someone who has been watching Star Wars for the last 30 years whenever I see Vader I no longer think “it’s Darth Vader”, instead I think “That’s Anakin in there” and it makes me sad. With that said, Anakin is my favorite character in all of it.
You know what hat would a cool fan fiction - Padme survived child birth and - anakin assisted mace windu to kill palps and plot twist obi wan turns to the dark side after getting defeated by anakin on mustifar
SWT summed it up perfectly. Vader was never fully a Sith, Anakin was never fully a Jedi. He was loyal to his own desires at the expense of everyone else. It ultimately cost him everything.
I was showing my students ROTS as an end of the year treat...... and it suddenly occurred to me... Anakin's fear of losing Padme in childbirth is what made him fall to the dark side.... So.... Anakin's fall....the Emperor's rise....the death stars...... all could have been prevented.... .... with a C-section ....
my favorite character is mace windu because he has mastered his emotions and infused the darkness and light within him in service of what he believed to be the ultimate good: the jedi order's code. thats why he is always so stoic and absolute in his decisions in battles or in jedi order's council meetings. he is very elven and logical which has always been my cornerstone when choosing sides in fantasy settings. however the character that i connect with the most is obi wan. he has to work way harder to achieve what others have as their innate power and in the end he is never tempted to use that power for evil but rather in defense of what he perceives as good. that is why he is a defensive fighter. a true champion of the light forged from the most humble beginnings with no special powers, and yet in the end he is the last man standing in defense of it !
And even that is super sad because Darth Vader is more powerful than the senator. It's just a mental block making him think that he's not as powerful, but we learned that he actually didn't lose any connection to the fours after he lost his limbs. Like I said it was just the mental block holding him back
It honestly goes to show that anakin was always a slave since birth he was always a slave to something and it’s honestly sad first he was a slave on tatooine, then a slave to the Jedi (say what you want but the Jedi was also corrupt), then his emotions, then palpatine, and finally after all that he gained his freedom through his son.
I really want Disney to do a What if for Star Wars so that we can see a canonical version of Qui-Gon teaching Anakin that his attachments aren’t bad ❤️
This is great! Keep it up with the Old Gold Legends (The REAL Canon. Fans decide what is canon, not a corporate shell that took advantage of their wealth and shills who sell out.)
Favorite character? Hard to say..characters I'd like to see more of and know more about are Maul, Young Palpatine, Obi-Wan's brother and Luke leading up to the jedi rebuilding.
At one point Obi-Wan said he would´ve left the jedi order for Satine. If Padme really was the most important person to Anakin, why didn´t he ask Obi-Wan for help? Did he ever ask him for help to save her instead of thinking only Sidious was the only way to save her? Obi-Wan would´ve definitely sympathized with Anakin´s feelings. Obi-Wan considered Anakin as a brother and wouldve been more trustworthy than the guy who orchestrated an entire war.
Ahsoka has become my favorite character, sure she was a bit annoying early on, but her character development throughout has been amazing! Wish she would have been able to keep Anakin in the light but alas, we would have never had the amazing character of Darth Vader.
This was a rationalization after the fact and NOT the sole reason for what Anakin chose to do. It wasn’t all about Padme. The Jedi Order claimed to be all about wise counsel, peace, justice, servicing the Republic and helping those in need. Yet they weren’t offering him good counsel and not only have they been leading an unjust war were both sides have brought unnecessary civilian deaths and suffering and destruction and instability, but now that one of the two Sith that they claimed were behind the war, that rather than wind the war down so they could focus on finding the remaining Sith mastermind, that they were instead becoming more entrenched in the war. And now as it turns out, Palpatine was right when he claimed that the Jedi Order were prolonging the war as a pretense towards grabbing power. And then Mace decided that he would kill Palpatine, the leader of the Republic that they served (and Anakin’s friend) rather arresting him pending a fair investigation and trial. LIES and TREASON. It was a bitter crisis of faith for Anakin when he lead the purge of the Jedi temple. The Jedi were evil and needed to go. And then Palpatine revealed the location of the Separatist leaders and to kill them. So the Sith were evil. Palpatine was evil and needed to go. Meanwhile Anakin was the Chosen One. He had brought balance by ending the war. And now he would bring balance by destroying the Sith just as he destroyed the Jedi. He was the Chosen One. He would be more powerful than anyone, ever. It was his destiny to rule it all. And he would fix all of the galaxy’s problems once he has control since only he knows what those problem are and how to fix them. After his transformation, he felt that what he did when he brought down the Jedi made him irredeemably a slave to the Darkside. And his means to power and order was through the instrument of the Empire and Palpatine who he would replace. He still could have been as powerful as Palpatine if not more so. But it was the same with him as it was with the Jedi master. Palpatine didn’t offer Vader much new training or knowledge. Instead Palptine hoarded that knowledge for himself or had it destroyed. So despite all of the potential he had been born with, Vader never progressed above 80% that of the Emperor’s power level.
Always had the question if Padme was always destined to die in child birth. Of course maybe Anakin had that vision of the future, and his actions determined whether she died or not. However, what if Anakin never betrayed the Jedi and Padme died in childbirth anyways? Like the Force required her to die as a catalyst for Anakin to turn and eliminate the Jedi in order to bring balance to with the eventual destruction of the Sith. My favorite character is and always will be the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker.
Your thoughts on Anakin are always so compelling bro, you really explain his character well
His mothers death was very hard hitting for him in that he wasn’t able to save her from dying, but Yaddle’s Legend death was what started his downfall to the Dark when she sacrificed her life for Anakin.
Much better reason to go dark considering yadle was the heart of the Jedi and mother figure
@@donnellebarfield3964 She truly was.

Yeah aggressively agreed. Anakin is by far my favorite for all the reasons. But I'd strive to be like qui Gon. Tho that Darkside has cookies. And that's a bit enticing
And capes.... dont forget capes
Yoda & Mace Windu are my favorite characters and I can never really choose between them lol. I also agree with you about wanting to be like Qui-Gon.
Really loving these excerpt videos, can't wait for more!
My favorite character is Mace Windu.
He’s such a unique character! If you read the legends books that feature his POV you find that he’s one of the most introspective, intuitive, passionate and compassionate Jedi.
I love that his invention of Vaapad was to ultimately stop himself from turning to the dark side and through that effort became one of the light side’s greatest champions.

That AI Mace in the thumb nail is a crime against humanity.
The irony of it all was that in trying to “save Padame”, he ended up killing her
Actually, it was Sideous. He drained her life force in order to keep Vader alive.

"The last bit of Padme which still exists, which is his son."...
Uh, I'm pretty sure "there is another..."
Your new tag line should be, "Did I ever tell you about the tragedy of Darth Vader the Slave?".
That animation is on point 👍👍👍

Anakin biggest problem was he always thought about himself first. That’s what made him a slave to his reality. Once he decided to place his son first by saving his life, then anakin achieved freedom.
What are you talking about?? This literally all happened because he was only thinking about Padme💀
Obi-Wan got him to think about what PADME would want, while Palpatine got him to think about what HE wanted.
"Come to your senses! What would Padme do were she in your position?" "She would do her duty."
Tbh placing is son before himself is what he thought he was doing with padme to begin with but in the end doing this technically is still selfish.

Never knew about this man. Very cool video 🔥
so glad ur uploading again i missed ur vids :)
Ironically Darth Vader and Qui-Gon Jinn are my two faves in Star Wars as well.
Really great video!!! I agree that the ROTS novel is excellent. My favorite character is Luke, with second place going to Padmé.
One thing people forget about, in legends Padme was a big part, he also had a fear of losing Obi-Wan and R2-D2. That’s why he didn’t want to leave him after killing Dukoo or why he tried to get Obi-Wan to join him too. He has a fear of losing the ones he loved and that were close to him.
that animated sneak peek was fucking hilarious!
Mace Windu you're on this Council we give you the rank of dark lord.
I love all the Star Wars lore. Would love to see old republic tales and Exar-kun on the big screen and his crazy looking spaceship!
Darth Sidious, Darth Vader (With and without the suit), Luke, Yoda, Dooku and Mace Window jejeje. All faves.
He definitely didn't care about those younglings...
You and Dave Filoni always make such beautiful analysis about the prequels of facts that are often overlooked.
It's easy to get distracted with the prequel's "sometimes" sketchy dialogue, over-use of CGI etc. But at the same time there's this amazing harmony in the details of its story. Once you see this, it does make the prequels a lot better than on first sight.
Also part of why I started to appreciate the prequels so much more after Disney's sequels came out, realized that Star Wars has become a shallow, meaningless fastfood franchise.
Prequels have a strong story underneath the clunky meme dialogue and amazing worldbuilding. They also actually had plenty of practical effects, not just CGI spam as it appears to be. When you are a kid, you are mainly interested in ships, blasters and lightsabers, but later on you can actually appreciate some more nuances themes.

One thing I will disagree with is that Anakin was a slave to the Jedi. From my understanding, as a Jedi, you could leave at any time, no one was kept there against their will. Anakin even thought about leaving in RotS, and it was only his fear of Padme dying and him finding out information from the Jedi that kept him there.
For favorite characters, Obi Wan wins hands down. He experienced so much suffering in his life, the loss of his Master, the Clone Wars, losing Satine, losing Anakin, losing the Jedi, but he never faltered in his dedication to the light. He had flaws sure, because he was human, but he always strove to do the right thing.
Today is the 18th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith. May 19th, 2005. A day i'll never forget.
Before his injuries on Mustafar, I think Anakin had a decent chance of defeating Mace Windu in battle. But Mace Windu would wipe the floor with Darth Vader
100% if he didn’t get his injuries i would probably say that he would have a fair chance against any jedi
@@mebraturowland7574 yep
Mace would not wipe the floor with Vader. It would be a close fight due to Vader having most of the advantages.

My favorite character will always be the chosen one himself Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader.
legends material is so OP!! Love it!
Awesome Vid!
Jedi: Qui-gon
Other: Rex/Cody
More videos like these please!
Loved this!!
That animation though 😂😍
This was nice theory.
Last time I was this late, the SW hotel was actually open.
My favorite Star Wars character is probably Echo. Fives, Tech, and Wrecker are all tied for close second though.
no way, first??? yes!! lol
BTW, I LOVE these videos deep diving into characters' thoughts and nostalgia. Keep it up!!!
I like to think when Luke walked with Vader. Vader told him he has nothing left. And Luke could have said something like ' you have me' or us.
And even that is super sad because Darth Vader is more powerful than the senator. It's just a mental block making him think that he's not as powerful, but we learned that he actually didn't lose any connection to the fours after he lost his limbs. Like I said it was just the mental block holding him back
Keep up the amawork. My favorite Sta Wars character is awakin Skywalker
It honestly goes to show that anakin was always a slave since birth he was always a slave to something and it’s honestly sad first he was a slave on tatooine, then a slave to the Jedi (say what you want but the Jedi was also corrupt), then his emotions, then palpatine, and finally after all that he gained his freedom through his son.
Vader to Luke in episode 6 "the nightmares are finally over" as his eyes fade
This is a perfect video Theory. Really great job, love your insight here
Making him relatable af! 👍
My favorite character is absolutely Anakin/ Vader! He is so awesome!
I really want Disney to do a What if for Star Wars so that we can see a canonical version of Qui-Gon teaching Anakin that his attachments aren’t bad ❤️
This is great! Keep it up with the Old Gold Legends (The REAL Canon. Fans decide what is canon, not a corporate shell that took advantage of their wealth and shills who sell out.)
Favorite character? Hard to say..characters I'd like to see more of and know more about are Maul, Young Palpatine, Obi-Wan's brother and Luke leading up to the jedi rebuilding.
2:58 one time he tried to kill palpatine
At one point Obi-Wan said he would´ve left the jedi order for Satine. If Padme really was the most important person to Anakin, why didn´t he ask Obi-Wan for help? Did he ever ask him for help to save her instead of thinking only Sidious was the only way to save her? Obi-Wan would´ve definitely sympathized with Anakin´s feelings. Obi-Wan considered Anakin as a brother and wouldve been more trustworthy than the guy who orchestrated an entire war.
Great video, of course my favorite character is Anakin
Ahsoka has become my favorite character, sure she was a bit annoying early on, but her character development throughout has been amazing! Wish she would have been able to keep Anakin in the light but alas, we would have never had the amazing character of Darth Vader.
I feel that Filoni tries to insert her way too often into the stories. Meeting the same people across the vast galaxy makes the setting feel smaller.
I loved this!
Hello There Everyone!! I absolutely love these lore videos, Revenge Of The Sith is in my opinion the best Starwars film, especially the novel.
This was a rationalization after the fact and NOT the sole reason for what Anakin chose to do.
It wasn’t all about Padme.
The Jedi Order claimed to be all about wise counsel, peace, justice, servicing the Republic and helping those in need. Yet they weren’t offering him good counsel and not only have they been leading an unjust war were both sides have brought unnecessary civilian deaths and suffering and destruction and instability, but now that one of the two Sith that they claimed were behind the war, that rather than wind the war down so they could focus on finding the remaining Sith mastermind, that they were instead becoming more entrenched in the war. And now as it turns out, Palpatine was right when he claimed that the Jedi Order were prolonging the war as a pretense towards grabbing power. And then Mace decided that he would kill Palpatine, the leader of the Republic that they served (and Anakin’s friend) rather arresting him pending a fair investigation and trial. LIES and TREASON.
It was a bitter crisis of faith for Anakin when he lead the purge of the Jedi temple. The Jedi were evil and needed to go.
And then Palpatine revealed the location of the Separatist leaders and to kill them. So the Sith were evil. Palpatine was evil and needed to go.
Meanwhile Anakin was the Chosen One. He had brought balance by ending the war. And now he would bring balance by destroying the Sith just as he destroyed the Jedi. He was the Chosen One. He would be more powerful than anyone, ever. It was his destiny to rule it all. And he would fix all of the galaxy’s problems once he has control since only he knows what those problem are and how to fix them.
After his transformation, he felt that what he did when he brought down the Jedi made him irredeemably a slave to the Darkside. And his means to power and order was through the instrument of the Empire and Palpatine who he would replace.
He still could have been as powerful as Palpatine if not more so. But it was the same with him as it was with the Jedi master. Palpatine didn’t offer Vader much new training or knowledge. Instead Palptine hoarded that knowledge for himself or had it destroyed. So despite all of the potential he had been born with, Vader never progressed above 80% that of the Emperor’s power level.
I loved reading this book.
Favorite is Rey. She proved she was the strongest being in the force
Always had the question if Padme was always destined to die in child birth. Of course maybe Anakin had that vision of the future, and his actions determined whether she died or not. However, what if Anakin never betrayed the Jedi and Padme died in childbirth anyways? Like the Force required her to die as a catalyst for Anakin to turn and eliminate the Jedi in order to bring balance to with the eventual destruction of the Sith. My favorite character is and always will be the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker.
Yeah I didn't really understand that until this video
