  • Here are 10 interesting facts about Anakin Skywalker, The Chosen One.
    There are many more facts to cover, not to mention his powers in both canon and legends, which I'd love to cover as he turned into Darth Vader.
    Stay tuned for tons more top 10 interesting facts videos.
    If only Anakin was in Rise of Skywalker, in the flesh! Wish Episode 9 showed that. Maybe in the Kenobi show with Ewan McGregor, will Hayden Christensen return.

    Damn I feel like the only person that ever made him feel free was Padmé. She was the first person to comfort him after his mother and in attack of the clones the only time he showed happiness or freedom was with her. That’s why he needed her so bad because she freed him and he’d be a slave forever without her.

    • @edoboleyn
      @edoboleyn Před 4 lety +38

      Sarah Guinan Thank you! I find this yours fascinating idea that deserves a lot more thought and exploration. I’m inclined to agree. Perhaps his relationship with Padmé is the only one uncluttered by his mixed feelings toward the Jedi-who took him away from his mother and among whom he’s never completely belonged. In other words, theirs is the only relationship he’s freely chosen. Ironically, even in a marriage constrained by secrecy and their equally demanding duties, he probably had more room to be himself.
      I wish we had more material that really explored how well suited for each other they actually were, even when you put aside the power of bonding during the traumatic events of “Phantom Menace.”

    • @elainenagano9829
      @elainenagano9829 Před 4 lety +27

      Sarah Guinan Padme and Anakin new each other when they were still young. She new his past understood what he was going through. It’s no wonder they fell in big love when reunited maybe 7 years later. He matured into a handsome hunk and she further blossomed into woman hood! What a reunion!! That’s why a first they were uncomfortable and uncomfortable dialogue! They couldn’t help but be totally attracted to one another mentally and physically!!!

    • @elainenagano9829
      @elainenagano9829 Před 4 lety +12

      Mere C I. I love your analysis!!! Yes all true! I believe what we got from the films were never enough to truly understand the fullness of their attraction and relationship! The movie intended for general audience had to tone down the sexual and physical attraction, making it more mild. In the bedroom scene they were turned away from each other and she seemed fully clothed and he was bare chested! In today’s films , they would be embraced and bodies more revealing! There would be more scenes of caressing and passion and even hum touching and caressing her growing tummy! All this would have raised their on screen chemistry up 100 percent but I believe they were directed to keep it light! Cuz of the general audience rating! But if they were allowed more
      intimacy on screen the critics would not of said he seemed wooden! Allowing him to show and express his sexuality more! But I love Padme and Anakin so i can only imagine how passionate and hands on their relationship was! She didn’t have many men close to her either so they had each other

    • @elainenagano9829
      @elainenagano9829 Před 4 lety +7

      Sarah Guinan wow 10 plus years later and we are still thinking and imagining about Anakin and Padme! That’s says something! It left us wanting more of them. This story , themes, and first class outstanding music still lives on in my heart! That’s why many fans were so unsatisfied with 8 and 9. It did connect to the over arching story of Anakin, Padme , Luke and Leia The Skywalker FAmily! I needed more reconnection to them the Family! That’s why Rey will take the name Skywalker and continue their legacy with new characters!

      Why would it be lost to history? The jedi archives were enormous, and over the thousands of years, youd think a single jedi would have thought "hey could we use the force to heal people? Let's try it, and if we cant, let's look at the lore"

    I think what people forget is that he was still the chosen one, even once he turned to the dark side. Most “chosen ones” have a line in their prophecy about how they will save OR destroy. Just because Anakin chose the wrong path doesn’t mean he stopped being the chosen one, it just means he’s like all those fan-fictions about what if so-and-so was evil. Even as Darth Vader he was still technically the chosen one, even though I like to think of Vader and Anakin as too different people.

    Didn’t Anakin get his scar against Assage Ventress in the Legends Clone Wars series before as well?

      No, George Lucas added it to make him look older and less innocent in episode 3, and then they dropped comics and spin off series that eventually made it asaj’s doing

    Fact number one: he didn’t have the high ground
    Fact number 2: after losing his legs and burning he smelt like bacon
    Fact number 3: after losing his legs, he could not stand up for himself

      Eh, in my opinion only Revenge of the Sith is extremely good. The other ones are just idk, they're not the best, but it's my opinion.
      1. Original Trilogy
      2.Prequel Trilogy
      3. Spin Offs
      4. Sequel Trilogy

    Anakin is probably one of the best fictional characters of all time. Well-writen, conflicted, tragic. My favorite Star Wars character ❤

    The closest we got to seeing Anakin at his absolute strongest was when he forced The Brother and The Sister, the two physical embodiments of the Light and Dark, to their knees.
    And he was still missing his right arm

    I would actually love to see a future fanfiction video about what if Anakin had left the Jedi as a teenager

  • @damianelswick8828
    @damianelswick8828 Před 3 lety +1

    Episode 3 makes me cry every time I've seen it. Anakin and the sheer pain/tragedy of him losing/killing literally everything in his life but the hatred and the pain that he was trying to save them all from to start with. It's so heartbreaking, I can kinda understand Padme just giving up on the will to live. I hope Kenobi has visions/what if moments where Anakin never turned/what could have been, I know it's cheap fan service, but, to see Ewan and Hayden's chemistry on screen again, that would totally be worth it to me.
