The fact that this dude was literally a quadriplegic walking around on life support, but could still beat the ass of pretty much any force user who challenged, made him so badass.
@@THOMAS2910able there were, just in hiding. Read the comics. Imagine how powerful he would have been if he didn't get amputated and burned alive. He would have really been the chosen one, for better or worse.
@@THOMAS2910able According to old canon, he was slightly below the emperor in power and thats without needing all the extra sith artifacts and draining planets of life force that palpatine used.
When Palpatine talked about how Anakin wanted to be more than a simple boy and that he wanted to have a life of "significance," you can see clearly that that was never what Anakin truly wanted. What Anakin truly wanted, what he yarned for above all else...was family. He longed for a father. He wanted to free his mother. His love for Padme was the desire that she would become his family. Obi-wan was a brother to him. Ahsoka, a sister. His reason for wanting Luke to join him was the hope that he could reclaim the shards of the family that he's lost. Everything Anakin has done since becoming a Jedi, even when he fell, was to have a family. And though that love for family may have led to his fall, it was also what helped him rise up again and end Darth Sidious's reign of terror.
Attachment was always Anakin's greatest failure as a Jedi, and his greatest weakness as a Sith. It brought him low, but it was the only thing that could bring him back.
@@F_Mothering Attachment is honestly only a weakness because the Jedi Order kept telling Anakin to never have them. That it was "wrong" to form an attachment, which really messed with Anakin. Telling him not to do it made him even more fearful of losing the people he had.
He stated he wanted a life more than a ordinary jedi. Which makes Palpatine correct. He wanted family when jedi need to let go of everything their scared to lose.
the innocence of the little boy dreaming of visiting all the stars contrasted with the tortured sith looking out over his power and those same stars is really powerful
Really wish they made a live-action film for clone wars. Or even a live-action show with Hayden and Ewan that would literally been the biggest show ever
@@ade8182 honestly.... if mortis and the whole ahsoka arc were part of the prequels, no one would ever question the depth or sincerity of anakin's turn.... those make it so much more tragic
Clone Wars was made to fill in the gaps between Episode 3, and provide more context and meaning behind the reasons the galaxy wound up the way it did. Unlike Rebels which was just a waste of time and did nothing to improve the Civil War era.
What should have happened was that the prequels should've been more than a trilogy. There was just too much important info they couldn't fit into 3 films.
This really makes you appreciate Hayden's performance in the prequels. He had the hardest job in Star Wars history. To literally take the most feared character in Star Wars and make him the hero in one movie and then the next he was asked the turn him into the most feared character again. He handled the anakin to Vader transition like a pro to me
Hollis Hankins fr. Like when he killed the sand people and in the last half of the third when u can see the hate in his eyes. That always gets me man. When hes burning, the emotion on his face. When hes about to kill the kids, the look in his eyes and shit. The emotion in his voice. Idk what all the hates for
Nick Alexander is not Hate, is fear, fear to lose his wife like he lost his mother, palpatine lied to Anakin so he would turn to the Dark side, and because palpatine said he could help him save his wife he did everything he was told, but he didnt realize what he was doing, he was blinded by his fear, by the dark side, and Obi one telling Anakin that he was a greater jedi that he could ever hope to be made Anakin feel unstoppable
The Super Clone you both are correct its not just hate its fear, anger and greed all of those are "dark side" emotions and to truly become a powerful sith you must embrace all of those emotions which in turn allows you to tap into the powers of the dark side.
PastelBlossom Salve on tattooien Slave to the Jedi Slave to the Empire Yes very tragic The only time he felt free, when Luke, his son brought him back, and he looked at him one last time, with his own eyes, not as Darth Vader, but as Anakin Skywalker.
King Terpin obi wans isn’t half as tragic Anakin lost his wife His mother Was crippled Was stuck in a uncomfortable suit Was a slave to the jedi Was a slave to palpetine He was told that he lost his children
Fear of a boy leaving his mother Anger towards the Sand People for killing his mother Hate towards the Jedi Order Suffering from the Empire and the First Order
I believe he really heard padmes voice saying “stop, stop now come back, I love you” as the last redemption. Seeing their son in that pain broke their heart.
Darth Skygamer yes.. that’s my point... he had visions of the future that was going to take place. And palps knew how he would react to the visions. Ie why he gave him the visions of his mother dying in ep2 to take revenge on the sand people and use the dark side. Also then showing him Padmé dying .that was only going to happen if he went to the dark side to begin with. Which he didn’t know but thought it was going to happen if he stayed on the light. (but could of been completely avoided with Disney’s new “force heal” bs)... whilst putting him on the Jedi council and knowing the Jedi council would hate this furthering his distrust and anger with them.
Anakin was truly the Chosen One. Even though he fell to the Dark Side, he truly brought balance to the force by defeating Darth Sidious and saving his son. He lost so much, and deserved so much more. But at least he was with his family, his son, in his final moments. He trained to be a Jedi, became a Sith… But died as the Hero of the Galaxy
Qui-Gon found him. Obi-Wan taught him. Yoda spoke of him. *He's the Chosen One. He will Bring Balance to the Force.* He did by destroying all the Jedi and the Sith. By helping Palpatine and killing him. He was a slave till his son set him free
Ninjaman712 lmao no it isn’t. Stop being a butthurt sequel trilogy hater and just accept it. Even if you hate it, it’s still canon, whether it’s the best or worst thing you have ever seen.
Wait! Wait! Wait! He killed them both because with only one there would be no balance. What i am saying is that without sith there is no balance or without jedi there isn't. So to bring balance to the force Anakin killed both. This is just a theorie. Pl..pl...please react '~'
“You are strong and wise Anakin, and I am very proud of you. I have trained you since you were a small boy, and you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be.” Hits you right in the feels when you watch the prequels and see what he becomes due to everyone he lost!😢
When you put it into perspective, the story of Star Wars is about Anakin. Luke was the catalyst to bringing him back, but I believe we are actually seeing his story in all stages of his life. From slave, to padawan, to general, to husband, to knight, to father, to sith lord and finally as what he was always meant to be. The savior.
He only drove the villian away which I am extremely mad. The new episode 9 is now the legacy of Skywalker that bested the dark side once and for all. So technically, he isnt the chosen one. The chosen one rather is the new gen of his bloodline that will end the darkness. I believe it is in rey and Kylo as both were trained by Luke.
How many people shed a few tears while watching this, a tragic story of fall from grace, loss and battle of what's right and what's wrong, then the best redemption arch a character can go through, i loved this, great job
"It is too late for me, son." that wasn't the tone of someone who believes their on the right side of things, not the man who was bitter at the world. That was a tone of resignation. Of a man who knows he's gone down the wrong path, and doesn't think he can get back. That was Anakin Skywalker.
In Episode I: Anakin was a fearful boy. In Episode II: Anakin was an angry young man. In Episode III: Anakin was a hateful man. In episodes IV-VI: He was a suffering old man. “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” -Jedi Master Yoda
I just realised that the reason why darth vader always looked at the stars when he was in the star destroyer was because when he was a kid he always wanted to visit all of them. It's sad, but it proves he was still anakin deep down
This is why the original six Star Wars movies and The Clone Wars TV series tell quite possibly the greatest story ever. The Skywalker saga is a quintessential tale of hope, love, loss, betrayal, regret, and redemption that spans the stars. Flawed as the movies can be, at their core the story they tell is as timeless as they come.
Every year I come back to this video and get as emotional as ever watching. For those that understand SW and George’s vision of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker this really hits.
Disney: Nope, he didnt do nothing. Edit: I mean he died to kill palpatine and evidently failed. So his turn to the light, was almost moot, after 30 years. The chosen one, wasnt even the chosen one anymore!!
Ironically means that Luke was also 23 when faced with an almost identical situation as Anakin, but chose to stay with the Light rather than fall to the dark. Doing what Anakin could never do
Don’t care what anyone says, Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker was my childhood. He was my Luke Skywalker if that makes any sense. He was my childhood hero.
Lost his freedom Lost his mother Lost his body Lost his apprentice Lost his friends Lost his army Lost his faith Lost his master and family Lost his only love Lost his son and daughter But still..... A true Jedi to the very end
You can’t imagine the pain and suffering he went through. Yet he still continued towards what he thought was right. He lost everything, but yet he continued to fight. He wasn’t trusted by the council(mainly Mace Windu) but he still tried his best to prove to them that he was trust worthy. A hero turned who lost his way. But then found it again. And in the end he for filled his destiny
I don't think he counts as "A True Jedi" to the very end. That kind of skips over the whole "Killing all the Jedi" phase that he had before his last hour of life, lol. But yeah...I don't think I realized until now how hard Anakin got fucked in life.
Story of Anakin Skywalker is truly a Shakespearean tragedy. But at the end, he redeemed himself. What I take away from his story is a father's love for his son will always triumph.
Jinn realised 50 years earlier what Luke later realised. He was the grey jedi connected to the living force who saw all along that the Jedi were proud and dogmatic. I doubt he knew what consequences it would have if Obi-Wan trained the boy, for the galaxy and for the life of the poor boy, but he knew that it was the right thing to do.
TheJohan167 in episode two when anakin starts to cut down Tuscan raiders you can hear jinns voice calling out to him. Gets me every time. He knew all along. He was so wise and the council was so stubborn!
"Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?" "It seems, in your anger, you killed her." "I... I couldn't have." His voice. The music. I. This is so beautiful.
Zim invader The music rising in the background with Luke's voice saying "It is the name of your true self, you've only forgotten!" is magnificent. I found out that the song is called "Tessa", and it's on the Transformers: Age of Extinction music soundtrack. Also, I read a book called "Are You Afraid, Darth Vader?" and it is sublime. If you haven't read it, it's a kids' book, but it's really good.
@@infinitehwd2103 He was desperate and naive. Anyone as young as him would have done the same in his circumstances. Cant blame him. The last straw was when he realised there was no difference between the jedi and sith when mace windu was going to kill palpatine and anakin said "it was not the jedi way" and mindu says that he was to dangerous to keep alive. A reflection of what happened to count dooku.
"She made the decision Anakin." "Well what choice did we give her!? The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty the council turned their backs on her!" That part always hits me in the feels
His character arc really is one of the greatest ever, we watched his entire life from being a boy on a desert planet to a powerful sith lord on the Deathstar, we watched his mother die, his mentor, the love of his life, we even saw Anakin die and be reborn as Vader, we watched him save lives and we watched him murder mercilessly, we saw him bow to the Emperor and we watched him kill the Emperor. We grew up with Anakin and we felt sadness when he lost Padme and happiness when he finally became free and redeemed himself to his son. He's unique in that he is the greatest hero and the greatest villain at the same time and that is extremely hard to pull off successfully
Honestly, the greatest thing is that he truly was the chosen one, who would bring balance to the force. For it was Anakin who killed the Emperor and therefor ended the Sith. At least until some edgy kid decided to become Vader 2
@@AlexanderLingg he brought balance to the force there were two sith and many jedi that's unbalanced he destroyed the jedi order leaving only two now the light and the dark are balanced the force is balanced. The prophecy never said he would eliminate the sith or help the jedi, the jedi just assumed the prophecy was good for them.
I don´t think anyone thinks of them as the chosen one, they are just some fanfiction by JJ Abrams that only appeal to young kids who haven´t seen the original or the prequel trilogy.
@@Patrick-fs4hn It´s Disney what should we expect from them than cash grabs their movies have no heart except Rouge one it´s the only movie they have made that I believe to be canon
@@alasdairriley2967 actually Palpatine was stealing Padme's life force to save Darth Vader when he was put into his suit, and when Padme was in the hospital one of the medical droids said that they don't understand why but Padme was losing the will to live. And how did Palpatine know that Padme was dead?
I believe one of the comics or somewhere said that vader knew sidious was lying but he couldn’t really do anything about it since he was a suit that was specifically designed to be vulnerable to force lightning. At that point it’s also like why bother, he lost everything
Scynial all of the movies (hence why the latest release is still called episode VII) and animated content produced since the prequels (Clone Wars and Rebels) is considered canon. All published literature produced that was not licensed by Disney is no longer considered Canon and is now called Star Wars Legends.
The beginning when Vader was looking off into the distance and young anakins voice playa over his masked face staring off contemplating everything, it brought tears to my eyes. I have always connected to anakin in more ways then I can really say but these movie have always been more to me then just film. It was always there for me. It always gave me an escape and it always reminds me of my mother who showed me Star Wars as a boy and we shared it until she passed. I have some of the best memories when I would take being sick, and my mom knew what was going on but we’d watch Star Wars together and she would make me her Spanish food she always made and we’d just play around and she would tell me stories of what it was like seeing Star Wars in the 80’s in the movies and what it was like to see Vader for the first time. Oh I miss you mamma I love you so much and I will see you again one day
@@kaka3661able I’m sorry man, I hope you find people in your life who treat you like you deserve to be and you can overcome that anger. Brother, anger really is a poison. My mother was my entire world, I lived for her and she was my everything. When I lost her to cancer I felt like the sun went dark and my heart went cold. I was mad at the universe I was mad at everything in life. I’m still climbing out of this hole but keep your head up man. I believe in you. If you watched the same Star Wars as I, be the person anakin was supposed to be. Let go of that anger and accept it. The universe wasn’t fair to you I know that but I believe in you that your better then letting this cold world make you bitter. Never let this world take away the joy within you. My mother always used to say “don’t take life so seriously, you’ll never make it out alive” I live by that. Hope you go great things brother 👍🏼 may the 4th be with you lol and and enjoy the 4th of July!
He truly did bring balance to the force by bring down the Jedi for they themselves have become one part of the problem and then ending the sith line. He truly brought balance but at the cost of himself. How terrible destiny can be
Qui-Gon left him (killed) His mother left him (killed) His apprentice left him (left the Order) The Jedi Order left him (didn't trust him) His wife and true love left him (died in childbirth) But the last words of his son (who believed in him and brought him back to the Light side): "I won't leave you."
Ahsoka also says that in Star Wars: Rebels after she learns who he is. "I won't leave you. Not this time." They both leave that battle wounded physically and much more, mentally.
Ahsoka did say that, however unlike Luke she didn't succeed to bring Anakin back, and the reason is simple. Vader hated himself, he hated his past, he regretted his actions, and he already had a past with Ahsoka, not to mention she even said "Not this time." Which again, brings him more hate as he remembers what he has done. Luke did bring him to light because he had no past relationship with him, and he also saw him as an opportunity for a new future.
Agree. Same concept was depicted in Kenshin. Satou, Shishio and all those drom his past only suceed in bringing out the beast within. Kaoru, and everyone from the present dont care about the past and thus focus on him now, and help Kenshin bring out the best of himself.
Correction , his wife left him because he was deluded. Obi-wan tried to stear him straight - he left Obi-Wan and killed the Jedi(that is on him). Basically he became a tool for the dictator Emperor (who deceived him).
So true 😭 the beauty of this galaxy to me is how much depth new material can add to everything that has come before it. Clone Wars S7 has added SO much depth to the prequels. Ahsoka and Anakin’s relationship makes RotS and Anakin’s overall arc so much more heartbreaking
Anakin was proud of his son especially the fact he saved him which is something his mother would have wanted and he rebuilt the order anakin knew was corrupt and fixed it's flaws forget the sequels those are no longer canon and it appears Disney believes it as well
I have to agree because after watching clone wars and rebels I watched episodes 3-6 and couldn’t hold back the water works. Especially on Endor when Luke hands himself over to vader to face the emperor that’s when the dam truly broke
I love how the Jedi were the ones who pushed him to the dark side. Besides Obi-Wan he was just disrespected the entire time. The disrespect coupled with his hard past and fear of losing Padme left him with seemingly no other options. The Child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it's warmth.
This video makes you pity Anakin He lost his mom to the sand people, He lost his wife to Palpatine He lost his padawan to the council He lost his master from himself
@@jerrysnail9267 I cant quite remember the book a read bout Darth Vader when he was in hunting down the Jedi. A 1 on 1 battle was mention he was a bit clumsy in hes suit. 🤔dk if he became less strong🤔
Guys about the power thing with Anikan is that yes he lost power but his suit gave him the edge he needed for more power (he just had to get used to it) the only thing he had to give up was his agility. In fact in legends, Palpatine was going to give him a much improved suit, which fits exactly for Vader's needs and capabilities. Palpatine feared that Vader could grow even more powerful than him and take over his position as supreme leader. So Palpatine canceled it. Also Vader's suit was SUPPOSED to be annoying and itchy and this and that. Palpatine made sure of it so his constant hate and rage would be directed towards his enemies in the battlefield. So yes he manages it through a hellish feeling.
CISCO KID ANAKIN: “Now go, my son. Leave me.” LUKE: “No, you’re coming with me. I won’t leave you here. I’ve got to save you.” ANAKIN: “You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right.”
This year. My mother died. My wife left me and took my kids. My family is gone and im alone. This helped me get through tough times. Idk how to explain it, but thank you for helping me when i needed it
Brother, this is why I do what I do. To give a little light in some lives that seem so dark. Stories do that for us. They inspire, teach, and help us reflect and process things from our own lives. It certainly did that for me, and I've always wanted to share what that felt like with others. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope that you're in a better place now in your life and I hope you continue finding closure, peace and assurance (finding yourself) in order to move forward. Glad to hear this video helped! May the Force be with you, always.
Qiaho Liu I’m talkin about the title of the movie. No one said luke didn’t have a pivotal role in the series, he’s very important. But the return was Anakin overcoming Vader
Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars and cinema history. Born without a father, poor, a slave with no hope for the future, taken from his mother, his mother taken from him, fell into forbidden love, feared loss again, fell to darkness, lost his title and gained a new one, destroyed the order he fought for his whole life, lost his wife, lost his friends, lost his children, lost his body and became trapped in a suit which made him suffer constantly and was the fuel for his hatred, comitted terrible acts, met his son and daughter years later and his heart was again moved and awoken, defeated his wicked master who fooled him and saved his son and was redeemed. Beautiful. No one can tell me there is a better star wars character. Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. Anakin's redemption story resonates because it tells us all something we desperately want to believe - that no matter what we've done, it's never too late to turn back. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. It's never too late to stand up, dust yourself off, and turn around. You are never too far gone to change. Vader tells Luke earlier, "It's too late for me, son", yet his last words were "You were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right..." It's only too late to change if you have convinced yourself of that very fact. Personally, as a Christian, I relate Anakin's redemption to the idea that none of us are too far gone to be beyond God's forgiveness. We're all flawed, but we aren't lost if we turn and accept God's pardon through Jesus.
The boy you trained, gone he is. One of the saddest lines in the entire franchise. Such a hopeless realization and coming from Yoda makes it that much more deep.
That is the whole point of this video. Everyone doubted him even Yoda, he truly was an underdog who fought for both sides and in the end he restored the balance..
@@thecensoredmuscle563 that's right! I can relate to Luke in episode 8. I don't like this movie, and also not a fan what they did with Luke. But some lines from Luke were really nice. Like he said rey about Darth Sidious and how they Jedi failed because they were arrogant.
Darth Vader: I have become the most powerful Jedi. Destroying all opposition. I got to see the stars and travel planets as I foretold. Qui-Gon: At what cost? Darth Vader: .......Everything
But in the end he gained something new. Redemption in the force, and the love of his son. Now whether that was worth the suffering or not is for Vader to decide
Imagine how ground breaking of a protagonist Anakin would have been if the prequels came out FIRST and viewers had no idea what was going to happen to him or what his arch would be, unaware that he would ever even turn evil at all
This is the reason I tell people watch in chronological order. The story of star wars is about anakin and the heartbreak of his fall is more shocking to me than I am your father
@@Beamboy555 yep, same, I was soooooooooooo shocked when Palpi said he'll be Darth Vader now... He was my hero! This is one of the many reasons why I just love e3 or the prequels at all
I watched it in the chronological order and did not know he would be Darth Vader. The third movie hit me like a dump truck. I literally couldn´t stop crying
I don't care what people say about Hayden and his acting I think he did a perfect job and I grew up with star wars thank you Hayden your work is amazing
That was no acting, I think Lucas build Anakin character based on Hayden own personality imho extreme opposite to Vader. Its perfect for the alter-ego story, but not for us as Vader fans.
No actor could have fixed that dialogue and those ackward scenes... Lucas was to blame. The entire phantom menance and Clone Wars was just horrible. Lucas had a good plan, a powerful story, but lacked the ability to fully execute his ideas. He was too much in control cause nobody stood up to him during filming and made him change scenes.
That's because in those 5 years Disney, via capitalism, which always brings the true Jew/Sith to the surface, has destroyed any idea that Anakin was the chosen one. Yay Disney and Princess Rey.

Star Wars is really the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker. The greatest villain and the greatest hero.
True
Out of all languages,you choose to speak facts
He wasn’t a villain he was just broken and controlled by Palpatine
Wasn't a Villain but a broken sad man
He wasn’t a villan, luke and the rebels where, from my point of view the jedis are evil
When Palpatine talked about how Anakin wanted to be more than a simple boy and that he wanted to have a life of "significance," you can see clearly that that was never what Anakin truly wanted.
What Anakin truly wanted, what he yarned for above all else...was family.
He longed for a father.
He wanted to free his mother.
His love for Padme was the desire that she would become his family.
Obi-wan was a brother to him.
Ahsoka, a sister.
His reason for wanting Luke to join him was the hope that he could reclaim the shards of the family that he's lost.
Everything Anakin has done since becoming a Jedi, even when he fell, was to have a family. And though that love for family may have led to his fall, it was also what helped him rise up again and end Darth Sidious's reign of terror.
If anything, HISHE nailed it. All Anakin wanted was a family.
Attachment was always Anakin's greatest failure as a Jedi, and his greatest weakness as a Sith. It brought him low, but it was the only thing that could bring him back.
@@F_Mothering Attachment is honestly only a weakness because the Jedi Order kept telling Anakin to never have them. That it was "wrong" to form an attachment, which really messed with Anakin. Telling him not to do it made him even more fearful of losing the people he had.
that's a beautiful take
He stated he wanted a life more than a ordinary jedi. Which makes Palpatine correct. He wanted family when jedi need to let go of everything their scared to lose.
the innocence of the little boy dreaming of visiting all the stars contrasted with the tortured sith looking out over his power and those same stars is really powerful

Joe the Right Triangle wow that is powerful😢
goosebumps dude
When he says "I'm gonna be the first one to see them all" and it cuts to Vader, it's such an emotional scene
The Clone Wars really made Anakin’s fall to the dark side even more depressing then it already was. Now that’s good storytelling.
Really wish they made a live-action film for clone wars. Or even a live-action show with Hayden and Ewan that would literally been the biggest show ever
@@ade8182 honestly.... if mortis and the whole ahsoka arc were part of the prequels, no one would ever question the depth or sincerity of anakin's turn.... those make it so much more tragic
Clone Wars was made to fill in the gaps between Episode 3, and provide more context and meaning behind the reasons the galaxy wound up the way it did.
Unlike Rebels which was just a waste of time and did nothing to improve the Civil War era.
Every victory Anakin got for the Republic was a loss in the Jedi temple for him
What should have happened was that the prequels should've been more than a trilogy. There was just too much important info they couldn't fit into 3 films.
This really makes you appreciate Hayden's performance in the prequels. He had the hardest job in Star Wars history. To literally take the most feared character in Star Wars and make him the hero in one movie and then the next he was asked the turn him into the most feared character again. He handled the anakin to Vader transition like a pro to me
Hollis Hankins fr. Like when he killed the sand people and in the last half of the third when u can see the hate in his eyes. That always gets me man. When hes burning, the emotion on his face. When hes about to kill the kids, the look in his eyes and shit. The emotion in his voice. Idk what all the hates for
Nick Alexander is not Hate, is fear, fear to lose his wife like he lost his mother, palpatine lied to Anakin so he would turn to the Dark side, and because palpatine said he could help him save his wife he did everything he was told, but he didnt realize what he was doing, he was blinded by his fear, by the dark side, and Obi one telling Anakin that he was a greater jedi that he could ever hope to be made Anakin feel unstoppable
The Super Clone you both are correct its not just hate its fear, anger and greed all of those are "dark side" emotions and to truly become a powerful sith you must embrace all of those emotions which in turn allows you to tap into the powers of the dark side.
The Super Clone he's talking about how people hate Christensen's performance, when he did a real good job, personally I loved it too

Episode 6: Brings balance to the force
@@kujojotaro72 HAHA ACCURATE
Fear of a boy leaving his mother
Anger towards the Sand People for killing his mother
Hate towards the Jedi Order
Suffering from the Empire and the First Order
"Is she safe?"
Is she all right?"
That voicecrack when hes saying "all right" is incredible, please tell me I am not only one who sees it.
Breaks my heart every time.
It’s because he can feel it through the force. He already knew she was gone and he couldn’t believe it.
Not a voicecrack my man
@@gatszu6817 it is not my mother tounge so sorry, but I dunno how else could I describe it other than asscrack.
@@Mr.NopeNope Sorry but I don't know if that was auto correct but you made me chuckle.
I believe he really heard padmes voice saying “stop, stop now come back, I love you” as the last redemption. Seeing their son in that pain broke their heart.
To me the story of Anakin Skywalker is one the most tragic in the history of cinema
Thats right
Guy Fieri Severus snape?
@@ttydt no anakin skywalker can you read
Yes , is so tragic and sad
@@Darkvi17 He only wanted the simple things really
“it is to late for me, son”.
that proves he always felt remorse for what he did to his friends and family
He hates himself more than anyone but he was too weak to stop himself
It was for padme, and his unborn children. He was doing it for his family. Sadly
RobSLEIGHS yeah. But the dreams were put there by Palps. Not sure if he realizes this or not. Pretty f up
@@likeaboss1059 I dont think so, Anakin always had visions of the future
Darth Skygamer yes.. that’s my point... he had visions of the future that was going to take place. And palps knew how he would react to the visions. Ie why he gave him the visions of his mother dying in ep2 to take revenge on the sand people and use the dark side. Also then showing him Padmé dying .that was only going to happen if he went to the dark side to begin with. Which he didn’t know but thought it was going to happen if he stayed on the light. (but could of been completely avoided with Disney’s new “force heal” bs)... whilst putting him on the Jedi council and knowing the Jedi council would hate this furthering his distrust and anger with them.
And he was a good friend...
kenobi i'm back
Kenobi he hates you. He even said to me. Plenty of times. Windu should have died. I hated him. RIP father jango
maybe you should've joined him. he'd have is limbs and you could have some cookies
feel the power of the dark side .
Yes, you chopped off his arm and legs and he murdered you... Truly a beautiful friendship.
Anakin was truly the Chosen One. Even though he fell to the Dark Side, he truly brought balance to the force by defeating Darth Sidious and saving his son.
He lost so much, and deserved so much more.
But at least he was with his family, his son, in his final moments.
He trained to be a Jedi, became a Sith…
But died as the Hero of the Galaxy
Luke said if ❤
"Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is.. she alright?"
someone's chopping onions I swear. :'(
wowowow what did sou just say?
“It seems in your anger, you... Killed her.”
@@jkeirejejhehehehe6796 ''No I-i couldn't have she was alive, I felt it!''
This dialogue remembers me to someone trying to use fire to help but injuring others and himself in the process... Mmmh.. why that could be ?
Nah it’s obi wan chopping limbs not onions
This is what Star Wars is all about: The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker
Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise
Yup before 789
IF Hawk 789 are anthology to me 😂
The king Ankylosuarus I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you.
Well before disney had ideas
"The one's who are heartless,once cared too much." I believe this quote truly fits Anakin Skywalker.
I agree.
straight facts
Kinda made me cry 😢
Possibly
Wow he said that ? Damn........
I could definitely believe that , that actually really makes sense in the real world, holy!crap!
"Is she alright?"
"It seems in your anger you killed her."
"I- I couldn't have."
This part just carries so much emotion that it brings me to my knees
Yeah palpatine meant he took her will to live, but he thinks he literally killed her, that is heartbreaking to dwell on
"leave me."
"No, you're coming with me. I'll not leave you. I've got to save you."
"You already have."
Probably my favorite line in the whole trilogy
@DGZV "you were right" I think
Yah he was saying he was right about the conflict inside him and that there was still good in him
He was saying "your sister was right"
By saying there was still good in him
That he can still be saved
dave mustaine ☻😂
“you were right, tell your sister that you were right”
Qui-Gon found him.
Obi-Wan taught him.
Yoda spoke of him.
*He's the Chosen One. He will Bring Balance to the Force.*
He did by destroying all the Jedi and the Sith.
By helping Palpatine and killing him.
He was a slave till his son set him free
*then Disney just ruins the Star Wars cannon*
I never realized that Qui-Gon was right until now.
@@Johten remember its only canon if we want it to be.
Ninjaman712 lmao no it isn’t. Stop being a butthurt sequel trilogy hater and just accept it. Even if you hate it, it’s still canon, whether it’s the best or worst thing you have ever seen.
Wait! Wait! Wait! He killed them both because with only one there would be no balance. What i am saying is that without sith there is no balance or without jedi there isn't. So to bring balance to the force Anakin killed both. This is just a theorie. Pl..pl...please react '~'
He never went a day without calling someone master, and in the end his final choice was his own and it was made out of love. He died a free man.
I still can’t believe you betrayed me
yOU died as a free man
Master Ani
That was so sad
R2 is crying
@@c-3po365 wait what if ashoka and R2-D2 were there with anakin on mustafa couldn't they have spotted him from joining the dark side
Yes Anakin. S2. Play nice. =]!!
“You are strong and wise Anakin, and I am very proud of you. I have trained you since you were a small boy, and you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be.”
Hits you right in the feels when you watch the prequels and see what he becomes due to everyone he lost!😢
When you put it into perspective, the story of Star Wars is about Anakin. Luke was the catalyst to bringing him back, but I believe we are actually seeing his story in all stages of his life. From slave, to padawan, to general, to husband, to knight, to father, to sith lord and finally as what he was always meant to be. The savior.
Darth SnewSnew and the chosen one
I mean there is a book of Anakin's entire life through his eyes
emaster met what is it called?
@@ceoofpownage1656 Don't remember, it was years ago.
emaster met ah alright no worries
"Tell Me Is He The Chosen One?"
"He Is"
"He Will Avenge Us"
And Avenge them he did.
He only drove the villian away which I am extremely mad. The new episode 9 is now the legacy of Skywalker that bested the dark side once and for all. So technically, he isnt the chosen one. The chosen one rather is the new gen of his bloodline that will end the darkness. I believe it is in rey and Kylo as both were trained by Luke.

That's a large McYikes from me
Factsss🤦🏾♂️😔
So true
😔😔😔
How many people shed a few tears while watching this, a tragic story of fall from grace, loss and battle of what's right and what's wrong, then the best redemption arch a character can go through, i loved this, great job
I did. I’ve been watching this saga since I was a little boy and damn it’s such a deep and sad story. There will never be another like it
"It is too late for me, son." that wasn't the tone of someone who believes their on the right side of things, not the man who was bitter at the world. That was a tone of resignation. Of a man who knows he's gone down the wrong path, and doesn't think he can get back. That was Anakin Skywalker.
In Episode I: Anakin was a fearful boy.
In Episode II: Anakin was an angry young man.
In Episode III: Anakin was a hateful man.
In episodes IV-VI: He was a suffering old man.
“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.”
-Jedi Master Yoda
John Marston well he wasn’t old during the originals he was only in his early 40s
John Marston he was 45 when he died, not very old if you ask me
Plus, the fact that his body was burned up pretty badly
Episode VI: Redemption
Billy Joel would like to know your location
I just realised that the reason why darth vader always looked at the stars when he was in the star destroyer was because when he was a kid he always wanted to visit all of them. It's sad, but it proves he was still anakin deep down
It was to fulfill a promise of many broken promises
No one truly changes only there point of view
When looking out into the stars, the scene when he leaves, but looks back. Apparently he was talking to Qui-Gon Jin through the force.
@@KraNisOG no, that was him checking to make sure Luke actually left.
WOW. I never thought of that.
Brought a flood of tears to my eyes….this is just beautiful. I love Star Wars. Anakin is Star Wars.
Anakin was always a slave.
On Tatooine
The Jedi
The Sith
Until Luke set him free
Indeed
Wait I never thought of it like that
I had that notion for the past few years
just WOW sad but true
Oh my god you just made me realize that, that is saddest part of the series
Imagine him crying in his helmet and not being able to wipe the tears
That’s sad
What's even more depressing is that he's not able to cry
Darth Vader. Sith Lord. Right-hand to the emperor. The most powerful Sith. The coffin of Anakin Skywalker.
@@bboybolt8193 Why not?
@@Suguru_Geto69 Because he was burned alive 😂 I'm not sure exactly what it's called, I just remember seeing it in one of the comics
This is why the original six Star Wars movies and The Clone Wars TV series tell quite possibly the greatest story ever. The Skywalker saga is a quintessential tale of hope, love, loss, betrayal, regret, and redemption that spans the stars. Flawed as the movies can be, at their core the story they tell is as timeless as they come.
All things that people can and will experience in real life. I think that's part of the reason this story is so good.
ikrrrrrrr
@@codycherrington2314 YUP!
Timeless. Vader has been voted best villian ever!
Totally right
Every year I come back to this video and get as emotional as ever watching. For those that understand SW and George’s vision of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker this really hits.
Couldn't agree more, its been at least a year since I watched this and I teared up just like I did the first time. Such a beautiful story
He spent 23 years on the light side and 23 years on the dark side, he truly did bring balance to the force.
Zapyr omg i never realised. This is insane!
Disney: Nope, he didnt do nothing. Edit: I mean he died to kill palpatine and evidently failed. So his turn to the light, was almost moot, after 30 years. The chosen one, wasnt even the chosen one anymore!!
Damn, never knew that
TheQuietGuy yeah he did
Ironically means that Luke was also 23 when faced with an almost identical situation as Anakin, but chose to stay with the Light rather than fall to the dark. Doing what Anakin could never do
HAYDEN IS RETURNING IN THE KENOBI SERIES!!!!!!!

Don’t care what anyone says, Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker was my childhood. He was my Luke Skywalker if that makes any sense. He was my childhood hero.
Same He was my first crush at all
Exactly! I can’t see anybody else as Anakin Skywalker.

Hayden Christensen was born to play Anakin. No one else can ever replace him. P.E.R.I.O.D.

That was good.
Though just as in real life, the story goes on after your gone, as the story that happened before you were born
@@hedf it's funny how... Most of the people who appreciate star wars now.. were born after the prequels
Lost his freedom
Lost his mother
Lost his body
Lost his apprentice
Lost his friends
Lost his army
Lost his faith
Lost his master and family
Lost his only love
Lost his son and daughter
But still..... A true Jedi to the very end
dude... please stop.. i can't...
Wow
Almost like Obi Wan
You can’t imagine the pain and suffering he went through. Yet he still continued towards what he thought was right. He lost everything, but yet he continued to fight. He wasn’t trusted by the council(mainly Mace Windu) but he still tried his best to prove to them that he was trust worthy. A hero turned who lost his way. But then found it again. And in the end he for filled his destiny
I don't think he counts as "A True Jedi" to the very end. That kind of skips over the whole "Killing all the Jedi" phase that he had before his last hour of life, lol.
But yeah...I don't think I realized until now how hard Anakin got fucked in life.
“I wasn’t strong enough to save you mom”
Absolutely destroyed my heart
and because he feels he failed, he became Vader because he was so afraid to fail again.
Story of Anakin Skywalker is truly a Shakespearean tragedy. But at the end, he redeemed himself. What I take away from his story is a father's love for his son will always triumph.
It's just beautiful that he was redeemed by his son. For just a moment, he had what he always wanted. A family.
Qui-Qon knew all along ...
Yes, he did :)
Saitoki must have sucked to know that was gonna happen..
Jinn realised 50 years earlier what Luke later realised. He was the grey jedi connected to the living force who saw all along that the Jedi were proud and dogmatic. I doubt he knew what consequences it would have if Obi-Wan trained the boy, for the galaxy and for the life of the poor boy, but he knew that it was the right thing to do.
TheJohan167 in episode two when anakin starts to cut down Tuscan raiders you can hear jinns voice calling out to him. Gets me every time. He knew all along. He was so wise and the council was so stubborn!
Grey Jedi are not canon. Qui Gon was not one.
"Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?"
"It seems, in your anger, you killed her."
"I... I couldn't have."
His voice. The music. I. This is so beautiful.
ikr😥
Zim invader The music rising in the background with Luke's voice saying "It is the name of your true self, you've only forgotten!" is magnificent. I found out that the song is called "Tessa", and it's on the Transformers: Age of Extinction music soundtrack.
Also, I read a book called "Are You Afraid, Darth Vader?" and it is sublime. If you haven't read it, it's a kids' book, but it's really good.
My favorite part. If not 5:00
as the music peaks..."SHE WAS ALIVE I FELT IT"..chills...
Best TH-cam video EVER
The sad part is that the four Skywalkers were never together. Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia
Padme is not a skywalker she is a amidala.
@@RicardoMGarcia25 they were secretly married so...
What about Shmi Skywalker (Anakins mother)
Don’t worry, they will as force ghosts

You all know why you’re here now.
RIP to a legend.
Anakin was about 44 years old when he died. He became Darth Vader at 22 years old.
22 years in the light. 22 years in the dark. Balance to the Force.
Not really how that works.

No but have you ever heard the tragedy of the choosen one....I thought not it's a sith and Jedi legend

@@infinitehwd2103 He was desperate and naive. Anyone as young as him would have done the same in his circumstances. Cant blame him. The last straw was when he realised there was no difference between the jedi and sith when mace windu was going to kill palpatine and anakin said "it was not the jedi way" and mindu says that he was to dangerous to keep alive. A reflection of what happened to count dooku.

@@Ben7892 It won't be my first time, and it won't be the last 😢
His character arc really is one of the greatest ever, we watched his entire life from being a boy on a desert planet to a powerful sith lord on the Deathstar, we watched his mother die, his mentor, the love of his life, we even saw Anakin die and be reborn as Vader, we watched him save lives and we watched him murder mercilessly, we saw him bow to the Emperor and we watched him kill the Emperor. We grew up with Anakin and we felt sadness when he lost Padme and happiness when he finally became free and redeemed himself to his son. He's unique in that he is the greatest hero and the greatest villain at the same time and that is extremely hard to pull off successfully
I want to cried
Just need to see him hunt down some jedi in a stand alone film ..maybe visit padme's grave
Honestly, the greatest thing is that he truly was the chosen one, who would bring balance to the force. For it was Anakin who killed the Emperor and therefor ended the Sith. At least until some edgy kid decided to become Vader 2
If only lucas had gotten his and padme's romance dialogue right, I think alot more people would like him.
@@AlexanderLingg he brought balance to the force there were two sith and many jedi that's unbalanced he destroyed the jedi order leaving only two now the light and the dark are balanced the force is balanced. The prophecy never said he would eliminate the sith or help the jedi, the jedi just assumed the prophecy was good for them.
*ANAKIN SKYWALKER* is the *TRUE* Chosen One.
*NOT* rey *OR* ben solo. *PERIOD.*
I don´t think anyone thinks of them as the chosen one, they are just some fanfiction by JJ Abrams that only appeal to young kids who haven´t seen the original or the prequel trilogy.

This compilation already makes me tear up... But Qui-Gonn in the end, "You will find another way.." Cracks me. Masterpiece

Gamers rise up
Tangent of circle. beautifully put
Woah guys this is so deep
The beginning when Vader was looking off into the distance and young anakins voice playa over his masked face staring off contemplating everything, it brought tears to my eyes.
I have always connected to anakin in more ways then I can really say but these movie have always been more to me then just film.
It was always there for me. It always gave me an escape and it always reminds me of my mother who showed me Star Wars as a boy and we shared it until she passed. I have some of the best memories when I would take being sick, and my mom knew what was going on but we’d watch Star Wars together and she would make me her Spanish food she always made and we’d just play around and she would tell me stories of what it was like seeing Star Wars in the 80’s in the movies and what it was like to see Vader for the first time.
Oh I miss you mamma I love you so much and I will see you again one day
I can relate to Anakins life also.
The betrayals
Sense of loneliness
The Anger
Its so much more than a film
Its my life
@@kaka3661able I’m sorry man, I hope you find people in your life who treat you like you deserve to be and you can overcome that anger. Brother, anger really is a poison. My mother was my entire world, I lived for her and she was my everything. When I lost her to cancer I felt like the sun went dark and my heart went cold. I was mad at the universe I was mad at everything in life. I’m still climbing out of this hole but keep your head up man. I believe in you. If you watched the same Star Wars as I, be the person anakin was supposed to be. Let go of that anger and accept it. The universe wasn’t fair to you I know that but I believe in you that your better then letting this cold world make you bitter. Never let this world take away the joy within you.

@Landon Kidder quoting vision, are we now?
Anakin/Vader really is my favorite fictional character of all time. His story is sad but amazing
“I’ll even be able to stop people from dying..” that hit me hard.
That´s when u understand he only want to make good but without the (dark) force it´s not possible
Anikin skywalker learned he didn't need the dark side to save the people he loved.....he saved his son...with his own strength
This guy did in just one video what Disney couldn't do in 5 years
Facts
I hate that, they don't use Hayden's face even posters.
5 years and all the money in the world
@Trevor Van Swol Luke? yea i agree
The best character in all of Star Wars, and Disney basically ruined him.
Qui-Gon left him (killed)
His mother left him (killed)
His apprentice left him (left the Order)
The Jedi Order left him (didn't trust him)
His wife and true love left him (died in childbirth)
But the last words of his son (who believed in him and brought him back to the Light side):
"I won't leave you."
Ahsoka also says that in Star Wars: Rebels after she learns who he is. "I won't leave you. Not this time."
They both leave that battle wounded physically and much more, mentally.
Ahsoka did say that, however unlike Luke she didn't succeed to bring Anakin back, and the reason is simple. Vader hated himself, he hated his past, he regretted his actions, and he already had a past with Ahsoka, not to mention she even said "Not this time." Which again, brings him more hate as he remembers what he has done. Luke did bring him to light because he had no past relationship with him, and he also saw him as an opportunity for a new future.
@@Volsxer Agreed
Agree. Same concept was depicted in Kenshin. Satou, Shishio and all those drom his past only suceed in bringing out the beast within. Kaoru, and everyone from the present dont care about the past and thus focus on him now, and help Kenshin bring out the best of himself.
Correction , his wife left him because he was deluded. Obi-wan tried to stear him straight - he left Obi-Wan and killed the Jedi(that is on him). Basically he became a tool for the dictator Emperor (who deceived him).
God I love rewatching this video. Anakins story will always break my heart. It's so sad 😢
It hurts after Star Wars the Clone Wars s7..
so much
So true 😭 the beauty of this galaxy to me is how much depth new material can add to everything that has come before it. Clone Wars S7 has added SO much depth to the prequels. Ahsoka and Anakin’s relationship makes RotS and Anakin’s overall arc so much more heartbreaking
Ngl I teared up when Ahsoka started talking about him.

@@bluecherry9433 I think the suit is literally like a metaphorical anchor for Anakin as it decreases whatever power he had before he got it.
Guys about the power thing with Anikan is that yes he lost power but his suit gave him the edge he needed for more power (he just had to get used to it) the only thing he had to give up was his agility. In fact in legends, Palpatine was going to give him a much improved suit, which fits exactly for Vader's needs and capabilities. Palpatine feared that Vader could grow even more powerful than him and take over his position as supreme leader. So Palpatine canceled it. Also Vader's suit was SUPPOSED to be annoying and itchy and this and that. Palpatine made sure of it so his constant hate and rage would be directed towards his enemies in the battlefield. So yes he manages it through a hellish feeling.
@Jacob Kay yes
Vader “Now go my son, leave me”
Luke “No I’ve got to save you”
Anakin “You already have”
CISCO KID ANAKIN: “Now go, my son. Leave me.”
LUKE: “No, you’re coming with me. I won’t leave you here. I’ve got to save you.”
ANAKIN: “You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right.”
Michael Kurland I always used to think he said «You’ve arrived» and not «You were right».
This made me AND my mom almost burst into tears

This year. My mother died. My wife left me and took my kids. My family is gone and im alone. This helped me get through tough times. Idk how to explain it, but thank you for helping me when i needed it
Brother, this is why I do what I do. To give a little light in some lives that seem so dark. Stories do that for us. They inspire, teach, and help us reflect and process things from our own lives. It certainly did that for me, and I've always wanted to share what that felt like with others.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope that you're in a better place now in your life and I hope you continue finding closure, peace and assurance (finding yourself) in order to move forward. Glad to hear this video helped!
May the Force be with you, always.
its so sad when Anikan says "I wasn't strong enough to save you mom".
I wasn’t strong enough, but I promise, I won’t fail again
“The return of the Jedi” wasn’t referring to Luke. The return was Anakin overcoming Vader, luke helped him see the light
Actually no everything isn't about anakin i love him but luke is to a big a skywalkwer
"The return of the Jedi" alludes to the fact that Anakin is the returning Jedi. He's no longer Darth Vader.
Luke redeemed Vader -- he was the reason why Anakin became the Chosen One. Don't make it sound like Luke wasn't the protagonist.
Qiaho Liu I’m talkin about the title of the movie. No one said luke didn’t have a pivotal role in the series, he’s very important. But the return was Anakin overcoming Vader
pauline lam exactly
He went his whole life calling someone master.
This video made me cry
Your name is hilarious lol!!
Idk why?
Died a free man though
@@joshuaashton1929 I'm not free u better not be talkin about me, g
Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars and cinema history. Born without a father, poor, a slave with no hope for the future, taken from his mother, his mother taken from him, fell into forbidden love, feared loss again, fell to darkness, lost his title and gained a new one, destroyed the order he fought for his whole life, lost his wife, lost his friends, lost his children, lost his body and became trapped in a suit which made him suffer constantly and was the fuel for his hatred, comitted terrible acts, met his son and daughter years later and his heart was again moved and awoken, defeated his wicked master who fooled him and saved his son and was redeemed. Beautiful. No one can tell me there is a better star wars character.
Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. Anakin's redemption story resonates because it tells us all something we desperately want to believe - that no matter what we've done, it's never too late to turn back. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. It's never too late to stand up, dust yourself off, and turn around. You are never too far gone to change. Vader tells Luke earlier, "It's too late for me, son", yet his last words were "You were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right..." It's only too late to change if you have convinced yourself of that very fact.
Personally, as a Christian, I relate Anakin's redemption to the idea that none of us are too far gone to be beyond God's forgiveness. We're all flawed, but we aren't lost if we turn and accept God's pardon through Jesus.
Beautiful 👏
Nice to see a fellow Christian articulate their love for the franchise😅😅(before you know who took over that is)
Truly beautiful and this was the true end for Palpatine, nothing can take away Vader's redemption
The boy you trained, gone he is. One of the saddest lines in the entire franchise. Such a hopeless realization and coming from Yoda makes it that much more deep.
That is the whole point of this video. Everyone doubted him even Yoda, he truly was an underdog who fought for both sides and in the end he restored the balance..
That's what separated Luke from them. Even in the originals, obi wan and Yoda were done with Vader. They just wanted Luke to kill him and that's it.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 that's right! I can relate to Luke in episode 8. I don't like this movie, and also not a fan what they did with Luke. But some lines from Luke were really nice. Like he said rey about Darth Sidious and how they Jedi failed because they were arrogant.
“You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right...”
Made me tear up. Awesome tribute. Great job!

Luke:about what father?
Anakin:about...THAT I WAS THE CHOSEN ONE AND NOT YOU AHAHA-dies
Luke:(goddam)
Darth Vader: I have become the most powerful Jedi. Destroying all opposition. I got to see the stars and travel planets as I foretold.
Qui-Gon: At what cost?
Darth Vader: .......Everything
True
But in the end he gained something new. Redemption in the force, and the love of his son. Now whether that was worth the suffering or not is for Vader to decide
He lost the love of his life and the essence of who he was, I wonder if Vader thought his redemption in the end made up for it.
When yoda said anakin is in great pain. The pain never ended until he died. 😥
You left out the main reason Anakin turned to the dark side.....
....his wife.
7 years ago and still unbeaten! The best SW Tribute of all time!
Imagine how ground breaking of a protagonist Anakin would have been if the prequels came out FIRST and viewers had no idea what was going to happen to him or what his arch would be, unaware that he would ever even turn evil at all
This is the reason I tell people watch in chronological order. The story of star wars is about anakin and the heartbreak of his fall is more shocking to me than I am your father
@@dava1176 this is how I experienced the films. It’s probably why he’s easily my favourite character and I prefer the prequels
@@Beamboy555 yep, same, I was soooooooooooo shocked when Palpi said he'll be Darth Vader now... He was my hero! This is one of the many reasons why I just love e3 or the prequels at all
I watched it in the chronological order and did not know he would be Darth Vader. The third movie hit me like a dump truck. I literally couldn´t stop crying
I watched it chronologically like in 2016, it was so epic😭😭
I don't care what people say about Hayden and his acting I think he did a perfect job and I grew up with star wars thank you Hayden your work is amazing
Hayden is ANAKIN.... just like Hamill is LUKE....
That was no acting, I think Lucas build Anakin character based on Hayden own personality imho extreme opposite to Vader. Its perfect for the alter-ego story, but not for us as Vader fans.
No actor could have fixed that dialogue and those ackward scenes... Lucas was to blame. The entire phantom menance and Clone Wars was just horrible. Lucas had a good plan, a powerful story, but lacked the ability to fully execute his ideas. He was too much in control cause nobody stood up to him during filming and made him change scenes.
I didn't know ppl were talkn down on Hayden
Omg yes I agree with you dale matthews
Palpatine tought he would be safe after killing all the jedi, but he forgot 1.
😢
The only Jedi he could never kill. No matter how hard he tried.
Darn right! Yoda was the real MVP.
@@gengarvenom wtf
Markus Rochin he were talking about Anakin not yoda XD
I keep coming back to this video because of the true tragedy of Anakin. It gets me every time….
Darth Vader didn't kill Sidious Anakin Did
Anakin Killed Darth Vader
And Saved His son
He is The chosen one.
i cried ;(
Proud to be the hundredth like.
*cries in ewok*
Actually there is a hint that Sidious is still alive. If you watch the trailer of the new movie you can hear in the end Palpatine laughing.
Anakin and Vader are the same person though
"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!"
"YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN"
*I LOVED YOU*
O O F
I HATE YOU!
After 5 years, no one else has topped this video of showing Anakin's fall and redemption.
Still my fave
That's because in those 5 years Disney, via capitalism, which always brings the true Jew/Sith to the surface, has destroyed any idea that Anakin was the chosen one. Yay Disney and Princess Rey.
