Anakin was… - Raised by a single mother - A child slave - Lived in poverty - Taken to a foreign planet by religious zealots at ten years old - Told he was destined to be the one being out of trillions galaxy wide who would defeat evil And people expected his dialogue to be that of a normal person.
Exactly this . Some people don't understand that he's suppossed to be "awkward" because he literally never experienced love or any basic human emotion before , nor is he allowed to do so due to the jedi code . People always compare him to Han Solo even tho they're meant to be completely different characters . Han is a smuggler who most likely dated multiple women and can pretty much do whatever he wants , Anakin however is a Jedi who's suppossed to follow certain rules but can't because his emotions get the best of him .
@@megatronsroyalemissary382 yea these people back when these movies came out were seriously expecting Anakin to takk *just* like they would in normal life lol smh
Anakin acts exactly how a teenager raised in an all-boys boarding would act around his crush, who is a very beautiful, intelligent and influential woman.
@@LordVader1094 I am sure they were not encouraged to mix romantically. Besides, they were raised together as infants. It's not the same as meeting someone after 10 years.
There are women Jedi. The problem is that a Jedi musn't feel emotions. So, the reaction of Anakin is a bit disproportionnal with Padme. And he is not an adult. He grows up in episode III. Very big contrast. But, to always refusing to express his feelings in a free way, because the Jedi code doesn't like it, it will be easy for Anakin to become Darth Vader. And Palpatine will exploitate habily this weakness.
2:35 I literally just noticed how when Padme tells Anakin to not grow up too fast, she’s looking down at him - as if to imply he’s still a child. But in a stroke of subtle, cheesy, symbolic genius, Anakin stands up in response, towering over Padme - as if to show her that he is in fact “grown up”.
For me, it's like Padme trying to convince herself that Anakin is still the child she knew while Anakin wanted to show her that he is a grown man but the scene just depicts her emotions beautifully in my POV
2:38 - 2:55 - I was only 12 when I saw this and knew jack-shit about love or even having a boyfriend. But oh my God, in this scene, I recall going absolutely weak in the knees because of Anakin. Thanks to him and Jack from Titanic, I am now a hopeless romantic. Goddamnit!
It just sucks that people geuinely don't understand the romance and for some people who do like it just go with the npc dogma and gaslighting in being like "oh yeah I know x and y is bad but hey that's the point haha please like me and approve of my opinion". It's so pathetic, annoying and insufferable smh. On top of that, some people just love to twist it into something ugly and cheap af which I hate. At the same time, the deleted scenes should've been in the film as it really completes the romance, and shows Padme's pov and her side of the family
Hayden played a shy anxious slave teen boy who was picked up from his mother at the age of 10 and had known no father ever, suppressed feelings and attachment anxiety
@@mrtoxictnd2381 Teens is a growner children while 18+ - adult people, yeah? So how they being teens, if they aren't kids already, dude? So cause 18-19 not a kids & not also a teens, dude.
Padme runs towards Anakin ignoring everyone else and hugs him so strong at the end of battle with Dooku...at this point she have been made her choice - to risk everything for him.
People keep hating on the film because of their Romance but according to this video it only last about 20 minutes of this 2 hour and 20 minutes film, 1/7th of the films runtime!
I love how as he’s stroking her side at 6:30 he’s observing her reaction very carefully to his touch & looks up at her face when she turns to him to make sure he hasn’t crossed a boundary
It was before she spent several days, weeks with Anakin in Naboo. Eventually Padmé changed her mind after that, because she fell for him in Naboo. He was no longer the little boy from Tatooine. He really has grown. It's true that he didn't give up. He really was in love with Padmé.
@@PhlilipeAlvestrue but I feel like Padme’s always liked Anakin deep inside. That’s why it was so easy for her to fall in love him. It’s only that her feelings for him wasn’t fully ablaze as she was only 14 and he was 9. Plus she was focused too much on her responsibilities/careers. Padmé even says in the novelizations of the movie that she’s been intrigued by him when she met him while he was at 9 years old, or something along those lines.
@@Vigriffnah, I wouldn’t call it a “force bond”, Anakin didn’t even know he had Jedi powers before he met her. Whatever sparked between them was by the Force itself.
Say what you will about these scenes. In the moments where Hayden's acting is given actually good dialogue its quite beautiful. When he tells Padme his views on love and the Jedi code when they're eating together, its quite poetic, but also shows both the great strength of Anakin, his compassion, whilst also showing his greatest flaw, his unwavering devotion and almost obsession with keeping his loved ones safe. Anakin is a man broken by love, but also saved by it. Which is quite a beautiful story in itself. Its moments like this that make the prequels really shine through its flaws. I think its clear that its Anakin being romantic like this that make Padme fall for him, making his more off-putting lines come across as more romantic than creepy.
I'm gonna be hated on, but so be it: i think Hayden Christensen did a good job at playing anakin. His dialogue, yes, sounds like that of a 5 year old, but i think that was intentional. Anakin is immature and cocky. He's emotional. In revenge of the sith, he does mature, somewhat, and his ego shrinks a little. George lucas even said that padme was the more mature one of the two. Just a thought I had, and wanted to share
Yes! I completely agree, and ppl just don't get it. The awkwardness was just him because of lack of experience and that young boyishness, and in rots he's more mature
He’s an awkward teen and immature in comparison to Padme who had to grow up quickly in her role as Queen of a whole planet. She’s his first crush so of course he’s going to be awkward around her when he first sees her again. Their chemistry perfect here. She, on the other hand, probably didn’t have much a serious boyfriend in her life so allowing herself to open up emotionally was probably awkward for her too.
I personally always said that he's not bad as Anakin it's the fact that he's playing opposite Ewan McGregor who is a phenomenal actor. A lot of the time in movies and TV when you're playing opposite someone who is an extremely good actor you often look like crap in comparison. As for the dialouge and the writing I blame that on Lucas not him. Hayden simply worked with what Lucas gave him. You can't be mad about that.
Lol you're not wrong. I grew up with the prequels, so I had always taken it for granted that Darth Vader is Anakin. But for someone who saw the original trilogy back in the 70s and 80s, I can imagine how jarring the prequels would be. Darth Vader is supposed to be this big, bad, terrifying menace, yet here he is awkwardly trying to rizz up a girl😂
who even says he's creepy. He never touches or grabs her, even when he kissed her he just leaned and waited for the silent 'yes'. He never blocks the ways to pass over him and he never follows her when she leaves. After the honest and intimate conversation and after her rejection he kept his promise to never start this topic again until Padme did it herself. He was kinda surprised when she said to him she loved him, because he really had accepted that they could never be together. Could a creep ever accept a rejection? He is just being persistent in getting that particular woman, because he wants her only. He is ambitious himself, so he is ambitious in love. What a stupid thing to say that he is creepy when he is actually ambitious. And his actions are just ordinary
@@nektoincognito5339 that’s what I mean. He’s not creepy at all. In fact he’s very respectful of her feelings. People honestly treated him like he was some whiny incel when he was more than understanding and respectful of Padme’s boundaries.
"He's behaving how an early 2000s lover boy would act" You're sure about that? I don't recall Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker acting like this towards Mary Jane, or Neo acting like this towards Trinity, Harry Potter to Ginny, etc. . Stop making excuses for Lucas's terrible writing.
I think Padre enabled Anakin, didn’t hold him accountable. I think the Jedi needed to do some things differently. I think Obi-Wan was too hard on Anakin sometimes. I think Hayden played Anakin perfectly, Anakin was a troubled young man with a huge weight on his shoulders.
the rizz moments are so realistic it hurts, makes me remember the awkward, intense affections (and attachments) I had back in the day their chemistry on screen is so beautiful too they actually nailed it, acting and even the writing, despite what people say
I think it's more her way to say I love you (which implies to come safe). Because at that point she already loved him, but she was in denial until Geonosis. Almost everytime she called him Ani when together.
Anakin was a normal person. But expected to be someone else. Underrated by even the Jedi’s. No one including Padme at times found a way to relieve his sufferings. Padme adored him through and through, but at times he was alone too.
Thank you . He was never free to be himself . Even as Darth Vader . Constantly proving himself throughout the movie . The Jedi’s should have acknowledged him a little more. The tragedy of turning could have being averted
@@lucindairis1897 Unfortunately if Goku Black/Zamasu also went to SW, he'd use Anakin as an excuse to vaildate his Zero Mortal Plan even further to the point of accusing him of being the same animal he murdered aka a Tusken but in a very derogatory term. Chosen one or not a mortal's mere existence is an insult to Zamasu. And God only knows what speech of anti mortal campaign would he make in front of Anakin
Honestly it's not bad... Anakin is supposed to be awkward, it's the only woman he's ever liked and his first time flirting and talking through those feelings, which is hard enough for a normal person, let alone a slave that was raised as a jedi. In fact, he is actually much more socially capable than he realistically should be. ALSO, Star wars, the prequels in particular are written in a strange way, but I think that's also intentional as it is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, not the 21st century
it’s so hard to believe but i can see why it happened. he had a tough childhood only to loose his wife which he was so scared of losing. “fear is the path to the dark side”.
The way everytime he gets her to smile or laugh he smiles back in self victory like “yes I did it again, but she’s also so beautiful 😻” I love anakin he’s so pure for his love for her 😭😭🖤
Anakin : You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives. Padme : I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway.
Don't forget about her hair! I want everything Natalie's Padme was wearing and looked like! The hair, clothing design, and makeup departments definitely deserved an award.
That’s what being a former queen does for you. I remember reading Padme’s novels and she even mentions how she has to keep up appearances for the public and hence why she’s always so well dressed and polished.
This was the love story that I carelessly lived through as a teenager, never having any real life prospects in those years. The Padme of my youth never got past the "Please, don't look at me like that." stage with me.
Hear me out, I know it's the geekyest shit ever BUT we are weirded out by their love scenes because we grew up with earthly love experiences. Apparently, this right here is space love
Especially if a woman turned out to be raised with literal axes and trained SINCE CHILDHOOD. You do NOT wanna mess with my mom for example that's Padme but even more primal than Padme primal when pushed too far
11:25 idk why but anakin looks so like just out of it here. Like what she said about coming back to the real world really got him thinking. Just looks very funny to me for some reason.
Oh, the classic: "Let me post something highly subjective and treat it as facts!" You go on that path of life, friend, hopefully you won't end up with no real friends, though, if your friends act the same as you do now, then it's possible you're already fucked. @@DonOctavioSanchez
Thank you so much! You even summarized some of the dialogue which became tedious in the movie and left the beautiful scenes. I do wish you'd have left the wedding scene intact, however.
Ironic that obsession would be something Zamasu would ADMIRE BIG TIME. The fallen Kai would think Skywalker would sell the galaxy to his Project Zero Mortals all for Padme
I used to make fun of the "sand" dialogue Anakin gives but re-visiting this scene as an adult who has been to the beach quite a few times in recent succession I do have to allow that sand indeed gets everywhere. And the poor guy did grow up on Tatooine which was all desert sand pretty much...so fair enough dude, fair enough.
I love how here 6:56 when he after initiated the kiss and padme was deepening it he was guiding it so Bentley like he didn’t want it to end so u can see him lightly following her lips with his own 😭😭
10:03 😳 Omg, how bad attachment to Padmé Anakin had. It’s horrifying. It’s now very clear, why he became a sith. He clarified that the more he loves her, the more he suffers without her. His fear of losing her made him want to sacrifice everything he ever had to save her from death, but he almost killed her when she refused to follow his dark path to power. I find it weird that Padmé still wanted to be with him after he slaughtered the Tuskens. Anakin became much more emotionally mature in The Clone Wars series, but still you can see that his love for her was rotten to the core. The best part is that there are plenty of people who are just like Anakin, unhealthy attached to the one they love. One should learn, that if you put your trust in you happiness through the (current) love of you life, you will be imprisoned to this attachment. If that person will want to go, you will be destroyed. Anakin pointed out directly that he’s aware of the fear of losing Padmé, which is killing him. And when he lost her, his life was over, he began a new one as Darth Vader, but we all know how it went (he actually got over her relatively quickly in the Canon, embracing his new life by being busy for the Empire all the time). If Anakin learned to let go, he wouldn’t fall to the dark side. Just as anyone, wouldn’t fall to the dark if they learned to let go…
anakin: so yeah, I should be all powerful so I can stop people from dying. also, it's all obi wan's fault and he is jealous and holding me back! also also, I murdered an entire village of men, women and children because my mother died. I hate them! and I know I should be better than this, because I am a jedi. padme's words: what's wrong ani? to be angry is to be human... padme's thoughts: I can fix him, also I love him~
I think that with the combined spectacle of space wizard battles, the subtleties of these scenes are really lost on most people. I appreciate them, and how much work is actually put into them. People have complained about walking and talking, but they're clearly set up to be more akin to a play. I'd love to see a live play adaptation of this movie.
Or Ultra Vegito tampering with this universe by killing "Gods" like Anakin, believing that what he does will be the salvation of all mortals like Padme. Tragically Vegito would think that Anakin became the same animal as the Gods and the Tuskens and that he was never designed to look in the mirror. That the biggest sin of all "red flags" like him is existing. Such a colossal lack of empathy from the God Killer to try and put himself on Ani's shoes would potentially backfire on him. Ironically tho Vegito wouldn't do this for the sake of validating some shitass dogma
Hayden: "If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me!" Natalie: "Trust me, I am. This dialogue is excruciating." Hayden: "The worst, right?!"
Anakin felt he was undermined his whole life. Always being seen as less than; finally received trust and authority. It was under the wrong hands via manipulation and deceit. Thats why he trusted Palpatine more. Once he tapped to his anger against those who looked down apon him, he enhanced his anger against the force with power and aggression as Lord Vader.
At 8:35 padme is very disturbed by what he just said & she isn’t stupid, she knows he meant it that’s why they broke into that awkward silence because she picked up on how he didn’t even hesitate or wavered in his belief & he didn’t seem to understand that the way it came out his mouth sounded very careless , & she’s thinking to herself “I really am glad his career is strictly militarily 😅
*Anakin:* I've killed them, I've killed them all. And not just the men. But the women and the children too! They're like animals! And I've slaughtered them like animals! *Padme:* to be angry is to be human. 10/10 writing.
What’s wrong with that? She doesn’t give af about the evil ass Tuskens who killed Shmi. What next? Leia cries for the Stormtroopers when Luke blows up the Death Star? Be real.
Anakin is her love interest and her friend. Anakin just lost his mother and is pouring out his raw emotions as well as confessing to a mistake he already knows he made. Of course, she is just going to comfort him at that point. He's already beating himself up enough. She doesn't need to pile on him. Are you guys socially inept or something?
What makes you think she isn’t the bad one all along? Anakin was ashamed beyond hell, but Padme couldn’t care less. She was an imperial dictator queen, and was staunchly pro-Republic that was the Empire in all but name, after all.
What Anakin "didnt understand" is that with his potential and ability, he is going to be held to a higher standard. In martial arts, once you become a higher rank, they do the same exact thing. Its because they see something in you. They are meant to push and challenge you.
If Anakin love Padme so hard, and If Padme feels the same love, cmon Anakin leave the Jedi order and be with her the rest of your life 🤷🏻♂️, Anakin has a lot of skills, virtues and is smart, he can get a good job. F;ck off the Jedi order.
The way padme smiles at him, it really ain’t hard to understand how she got to be pregnant 😂😂 plus anakin was younger & active so he’s gonna chase after her if she teases him & he thinks she beautiful like an angel ❤
The fact that 95% of the time he was most likely using the force to get a bead on her genuine emotion & she thought she was hiding it but he’s got a literally psyche connection to her emotions 😭😭😭 it’s a good thing she don’t know
Anakin was…
- Raised by a single mother
- A child slave
- Lived in poverty
- Taken to a foreign planet by religious zealots at ten years old
- Told he was destined to be the one being out of trillions galaxy wide who would defeat evil
And people expected his dialogue to be that of a normal person.
Exactly this . Some people don't understand that he's suppossed to be "awkward" because he literally never experienced love or any basic human emotion before , nor is he allowed to do so due to the jedi code .

He never blocks the ways to pass over him and he never follows her when she leaves. After the honest and intimate conversation and after her rejection he kept his promise to never start this topic again until Padme did it herself. He was kinda surprised when she said to him she loved him, because he really had accepted that they could never be together. Could a creep ever accept a rejection? He is just being persistent in getting that particular woman, because he wants her only. He is ambitious himself, so he is ambitious in love. What a stupid thing to say that he is creepy when he is actually ambitious. And his actions are just ordinary
@@nektoincognito5339 that’s what I mean. He’s not creepy at all. In fact he’s very respectful of her feelings. People honestly treated him like he was some whiny incel when he was more than understanding and respectful of Padme’s boundaries.
@@Lunafroyo why did Hayden have to suffer so much for this role:(
"He's behaving how an early 2000s lover boy would act"
You're sure about that? I don't recall Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker acting like this towards Mary Jane, or Neo acting like this towards Trinity, Harry Potter to Ginny, etc. . Stop making excuses for Lucas's terrible writing.
@1:37 anakin talking obi-wan is soooo "moody teen vs older father" lmaoo
These are the moments Darth Vader would non stop reminisce whenever he had some free time in the bacta tank or meditation chamber
I think Padre enabled Anakin, didn’t hold him accountable. I think the Jedi needed to do some things differently. I think Obi-Wan was too hard on Anakin sometimes. I think Hayden played Anakin perfectly, Anakin was a troubled young man with a huge weight on his shoulders.
It’s crazy how much Vader looms whenever padme is around
Wym ? Like his alter ego of Vader is drawn to her !
?**
2:43 Anakin gives Padme the lightskin stare 😂
IM LAUGHING MY ASS OFF-😂
OMGGG on top of that he is a Caucasian light-skin too, it just makes it even worse😭😭
Uncool. Quit the racism.
L Rizz
LMAOOO thats what i was thiking
When Padme confessed her love to Ani, it was so beautiful to hear her say those words fr❤
Seeing that at 6 years old made me firmly believe A female has to bebased off of love loyalty or trust
20:55
the rizz moments are so realistic it hurts, makes me remember the awkward, intense affections (and attachments) I had back in the day
their chemistry on screen is so beautiful too
they actually nailed it, acting and even the writing, despite what people say
His lil evil smiles are so cute I love him & I love how padme is like “um no, I want a good boy not bad boy” 😂😂
16:14- That's Padme's way of saying: "Please come back alive."
I think it's more her way to say I love you (which implies to come safe). Because at that point she already loved him, but she was in denial until Geonosis. Almost everytime she called him Ani when together.
The conversation in the meadow about politics, implications of the Empire to come.
Anakin was a normal person. But expected to be someone else. Underrated by even the Jedi’s. No one including Padme at times found a way to relieve his sufferings. Padme adored him through and through, but at times he was alone too.
Thank you . He was never free to be himself . Even as Darth Vader . Constantly proving himself throughout the movie . The Jedi’s should have acknowledged him a little more. The tragedy of turning could have being averted
@@lucindairis1897 Unfortunately if Goku Black/Zamasu also went to SW, he'd use Anakin as an excuse to vaildate his Zero Mortal Plan even further to the point of accusing him of being the same animal he murdered aka a Tusken but in a very derogatory term. Chosen one or not a mortal's mere existence is an insult to Zamasu. And God only knows what speech of anti mortal campaign would he make in front of Anakin
A hero would sacrifice you for the world. A villain would sacrifice the world for you
OOOOOH. Good point.
“Men, there is no sacrifice greater than someone elses.”
Anikan saved the world from the republic
Also a true hero sacrifice themselves for you and the world.
Honestly it's not bad... Anakin is supposed to be awkward, it's the only woman he's ever liked and his first time flirting and talking through those feelings, which is hard enough for a normal person, let alone a slave that was raised as a jedi. In fact, he is actually much more socially capable than he realistically should be.
ALSO, Star wars, the prequels in particular are written in a strange way, but I think that's also intentional as it is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, not the 21st century
Yeah plus it’s a different and new era the scenes shows Anakin is not Han Solo at all.
I cant understand how someone like anakin became a sith lord
17:48
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering”
Honestly no matter how many times I watch these films it's still so hard to believe that he becomes Vader.
it’s so hard to believe but i can see why it happened. he had a tough childhood only to loose his wife which he was so scared of losing. “fear is the path to the dark side”.
Also he didn't belive palatine was evil he believed the jedi were like anakin put his faith in the wrong person and just snapped.
Their love story will always be iconic and memorable in the Star Wars franchise. Love them both in all three prequels.
The way everytime he gets her to smile or laugh he smiles back in self victory like “yes I did it again, but she’s also so beautiful 😻” I love anakin he’s so pure for his love for her 😭😭🖤
Anakin : You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives.
Padme : I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway.
AKA, who the fuck cares?
😂😂.
padmes outfits & outfit changes are outrageous
wdym? i think her outfits were cute especially the yellow one she had
Don't forget about her hair! I want everything Natalie's Padme was wearing and looked like! The hair, clothing design, and makeup departments definitely deserved an award.
That’s what being a former queen does for you. I remember reading Padme’s novels and she even mentions how she has to keep up appearances for the public and hence why she’s always so well dressed and polished.
Earlier she had suitcases, I doubt all those dresses would fit in those
@@senatoremmaofnabooI think that's the point, it's kinda diabolical of her to wear those after telling anakin they can never be together
This was the love story that I carelessly lived through as a teenager, never having any real life prospects in those years. The Padme of my youth never got past the "Please, don't look at me like that." stage with me.
Anakin: The closer I get to you, the worser it gets...
Padme: Well...
then I should ask for a new jedi protector :)
The most realistic response 😂
Ultra Vegito: DID SOMEBODY SAID PROTECTOR???? (Doom music in the background)
Episode II is probably my favorite of the Star Wars films.
Same brother. I adore this movie. Wish we'd gotten a version with all the deletes scenes, they are all great
It’s the most underrated
I hated Anakin in this movie. Too arrogant.
I noticed that anakin doesn't bow to Amidala, like Obi-Wan.
That’s cause Anakin doesn’t care for Amidala, he loves Padme.
Damn good acting in these scenes from Hayden Christensen. Idk why critics said he wasn't that good. ? He was brilliant.
Satire... . right?
Christian did an amazing job portraying a troubled Anakin
Christensen*
Hayden Christensen you mean😂
I love Anakin and Padme
Ok
The way his eyes are always on her 😭
Before he became a Jedi, Anakin starred in an episode of Goosebumps playing a goofball named Zane
I KNOW!! I smile everytime I think of that, it's so funny 😂
I can’t get over how little Natalie Portman was 🥺 she’s a lil baby
yeah she was just 19 when they started shooting
@@pjomono4579more like 18 in the phantom menace. Here she’s about 22
💀
Calm down mate
That is so damn cool. As a kid i would drop everything for this. I aint letting school get on my ass. Gotta get that sith rizz. 😂😂
Anakin: Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us.
Padme: Anakin, you've grown up.
Me: visible confusion
Shit that just made me realize why we watch these movies despite that. 😂😂
Hear me out, I know it's the geekyest shit ever BUT
we are weirded out by their love scenes because we grew up with earthly love experiences. Apparently, this right here is space love
@Im_Kinda_Cold😂 thank you for keeping it real.
Not space love, just atrocious writing. As a writer myself, I'm embarrassed that people actually ship them and like their love story.
@@HunterJumper-ow2oo hater
@@HunterJumper-ow2oowomp womp
I think it reminds people of awkward experiences during middle or high school which is why it makes them uncomfortable
“please, don’t look at me like that…it makes me feel uncomfortable”
If a woman said that to me I would probably avoid eye contact & conversation
Facts props to anakin then for never giving up
Especially if a woman turned out to be raised with literal axes and trained SINCE CHILDHOOD. You do NOT wanna mess with my mom for example that's Padme but even more primal than Padme primal when pushed too far
How to get a girlfriend step one
Hate sand
Tell her you hate sand
Profit
telling her you killed them all does wonders too, i’ve heard
11:25 idk why but anakin looks so like just out of it here. Like what she said about coming back to the real world really got him thinking. Just looks very funny to me for some reason.
Beauty and the Beast with the lightsabers.
1:00 there's a Harry Potter vibe in this song (after all, it's the same composer for both films.)
Harry potter is lame.
Oh, the classic: "Let me post something highly subjective and treat it as facts!"
You go on that path of life, friend, hopefully you won't end up with no real friends, though, if your friends act the same as you do now, then it's possible you're already fucked. @@DonOctavioSanchez
23 minutes of anakin applying pressure… padme never stood a chance
Thank you so much! You even summarized some of the dialogue which became tedious in the movie and left the beautiful scenes. I do wish you'd have left the wedding scene intact, however.
The most EPIC love story ever of Star Wars!! ❤
"In a galaxy torn apart by my own darkness, the only light I'll ever truly lose is you." - Anakin Skywalker
Ironic that obsession would be something Zamasu would ADMIRE BIG TIME. The fallen Kai would think Skywalker would sell the galaxy to his Project Zero Mortals all for Padme
I used to make fun of the "sand" dialogue Anakin gives but re-visiting this scene as an adult who has been to the beach quite a few times in recent succession I do have to allow that sand indeed gets everywhere. And the poor guy did grow up on Tatooine which was all desert sand pretty much...so fair enough dude, fair enough.
Still the prequels have problems
I love how here 6:56 when he after initiated the kiss and padme was deepening it he was guiding it so Bentley like he didn’t want it to end so u can see him lightly following her lips with his own 😭😭
You did your research
You definitely did your research and know how George Lucas felt about what he wanted because of how Anakin and Padme in bts of this relationship
10:03 😳
Omg, how bad attachment to Padmé Anakin had. It’s horrifying. It’s now very clear, why he became a sith.
He clarified that the more he loves her, the more he suffers without her. His fear of losing her made him want to sacrifice everything he ever had to save her from death, but he almost killed her when she refused to follow his dark path to power.
I find it weird that Padmé still wanted to be with him after he slaughtered the Tuskens. Anakin became much more emotionally mature in The Clone Wars series, but still you can see that his love for her was rotten to the core.
The best part is that there are plenty of people who are just like Anakin, unhealthy attached to the one they love. One should learn, that if you put your trust in you happiness through the (current) love of you life, you will be imprisoned to this attachment. If that person will want to go, you will be destroyed. Anakin pointed out directly that he’s aware of the fear of losing Padmé, which is killing him. And when he lost her, his life was over, he began a new one as Darth Vader, but we all know how it went (he actually got over her relatively quickly in the Canon, embracing his new life by being busy for the Empire all the time).
If Anakin learned to let go, he wouldn’t fall to the dark side. Just as anyone, wouldn’t fall to the dark if they learned to let go…
anakin: so yeah, I should be all powerful so I can stop people from dying. also, it's all obi wan's fault and he is jealous and holding me back! also also, I murdered an entire village of men, women and children because my mother died. I hate them! and I know I should be better than this, because I am a jedi.
padme's words: what's wrong ani? to be angry is to be human...
padme's thoughts: I can fix him, also I love him~
W comment
What a great comment wow
This is exactly why I became more supportive than ever on psychiatrists. The wonders they could have done to Anakin
I think that with the combined spectacle of space wizard battles, the subtleties of these scenes are really lost on most people. I appreciate them, and how much work is actually put into them.
People have complained about walking and talking, but they're clearly set up to be more akin to a play.
I'd love to see a live play adaptation of this movie.
Or Ultra Vegito tampering with this universe by killing "Gods" like Anakin, believing that what he does will be the salvation of all mortals like Padme. Tragically Vegito would think that Anakin became the same animal as the Gods and the Tuskens and that he was never designed to look in the mirror. That the biggest sin of all "red flags" like him is existing. Such a colossal lack of empathy from the God Killer to try and put himself on Ani's shoes would potentially backfire on him. Ironically tho Vegito wouldn't do this for the sake of validating some shitass dogma
9:00 my favourite scene
That dude had Natalie P look him in the eyes and tell him she truly deeply loves him and proceeds to make out with her . Luckiest guy in the world
I mean have you seen Hayden Christensen. Man's not bad by any means.
Seeing this with the rest of star wars while being patient is painfull
Padme’s Romance is so good. Anakin is grown up even as a child. It must have been hard for Padme too
22:58- Padme is beautiful even when she's knocked out.
Yeah, Natalie was and is so beautiful.
As a kid I thought she was the most beautiful person on the planet and I was like “She is the personification of gorgeous”
I see what you did there 😉
Im definitely putting the ship down. 😂😂
Thor: YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE SHIP DOWN?!
I can’t get enough of this scene.
Gosh Natalie was beautiful in this especially in the meadow scene . Thanks for uploading this
Yeah but the acting was mediocre
Hayden: "If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me!" Natalie: "Trust me, I am. This dialogue is excruciating." Hayden: "The worst, right?!"
Hayden has such raw emotion in his acting.
Hayden and Natalie improvised “aggressive negotiations” and you can tell because it’s the only decent dialogue in this whole video.
He looked so confused after she broke the kiss 😂😂😂 like “bitch then why’d you let me kiss you ?!” 😭😭
Thank you very much for this share! Much joy to you! 🕊
Anakin felt he was undermined his whole life. Always being seen as less than; finally received trust and authority. It was under the wrong hands via manipulation and deceit. Thats why he trusted Palpatine more. Once he tapped to his anger against those who looked down apon him, he enhanced his anger against the force with power and aggression as Lord Vader.
2:44 bro looks at her like i look at a pizza, hes ready to be a MENACE.
PERFECT TIMING
The weirdest part about this is Anakin having all 4 limbs.
At 8:35 padme is very disturbed by what he just said & she isn’t stupid, she knows he meant it that’s why they broke into that awkward silence because she picked up on how he didn’t even hesitate or wavered in his belief & he didn’t seem to understand that the way it came out his mouth sounded very careless , & she’s thinking to herself “I really am glad his career is strictly militarily 😅
Hayden is a legend ❤
OMG YESS THANK YOU
The way Obi Wan Kenobi bows and handshakes Padme 🤝 👍 ... that's the way I greet student families at meetings and school functions 😅😊
That's because Obi Wan only saw Padme as an authority figure. Not a special someone.
@@DonOctavioSanchez but he surely had the respect not just seeing Padme as authority?
*Anakin:* I've killed them, I've killed them all. And not just the men. But the women and the children too! They're like animals! And I've slaughtered them like animals!
*Padme:* to be angry is to be human.
10/10 writing.
What’s wrong with that? She doesn’t give af about the evil ass Tuskens who killed Shmi. What next? Leia cries for the Stormtroopers when Luke blows up the Death Star? Be real.
You must be very young. @@LilacSreya
She is a compassionate person and they were psychos that killed his mother but that was a bad move to dismiss it.
@@LilacSreyabruh he literally murdered an entire village with the majority of them being innocents😟
@16:05 Foreshadowing
Reflection of Darth Vader...
I like the way he says "thats not fair" like a child
I love u sm for this queen ty!! 😽
My favourite word in the whole movie
" *L I A R* "🗿🥶💀🔥
Wrong movie😭
I love anakin, he’s so messed up in the head but he loves to watch his girl be happy even if it means he’s the bad guy
Padme reaction to this 17:48-18:18 yeah I'm into this shit.
Yeah, not the best decision there 😂 Though her action to comfort rather than condemn shows her pureness of heart and genuine desire to help others.
Anakin is her love interest and her friend. Anakin just lost his mother and is pouring out his raw emotions as well as confessing to a mistake he already knows he made. Of course, she is just going to comfort him at that point. He's already beating himself up enough. She doesn't need to pile on him. Are you guys socially inept or something?
Am I the only one who caught Darth Vader’s theme after he told Padmé that he killed all the Tusken raiders?
What makes you think she isn’t the bad one all along? Anakin was ashamed beyond hell, but Padme couldn’t care less. She was an imperial dictator queen, and was staunchly pro-Republic that was the Empire in all but name, after all.
The prequel series is so depressing. I just want to watch Anakin and Padme end up together
His voice☺️ his face.. everything beautiful about him
What Anakin "didnt understand" is that with his potential and ability, he is going to be held to a higher standard. In martial arts, once you become a higher rank, they do the same exact thing. Its because they see something in you. They are meant to push and challenge you.
If Anakin's DNA was saiyan he'd get it
If Anakin love Padme so hard, and If Padme feels the same love, cmon Anakin leave the Jedi order and be with her the rest of your life 🤷🏻♂️, Anakin has a lot of skills, virtues and is smart, he can get a good job. F;ck off the Jedi order.
The way padme smiles at him, it really ain’t hard to understand how she got to be pregnant 😂😂 plus anakin was younger & active so he’s gonna chase after her if she teases him & he thinks she beautiful like an angel ❤
The fact that 95% of the time he was most likely using the force to get a bead on her genuine emotion & she thought she was hiding it but he’s got a literally psyche connection to her emotions 😭😭😭 it’s a good thing she don’t know
