Incredibly proud to present my new Darth Vader tribute. Love the character, his story in the Star Wars universe, and most importantly Hayden Christensen. Super happy to see all the support he's actively receiving after his re-appearance in the Kenobi and Ahsoka series, well deserved and a long time coming. I mentioned this in my previous tribute and I still stand by these words - Vader is the reason I love Star Wars so much. Wanted to make a proper love letter to him for a while as I'm not satisfied with my first tribute and now, with all the skills and experience I have gathered over the last few years and with the newly released Ahsoka series, I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to do that. Used only live-action footage. Goes without saying that this video took a LOT of effort, but I enjoyed the process. Hope you all enjoy the result as such.
Headphones are highly recommended!

Hope you enjoyed this one ❤ Been planning to make a remaster of my first vader tribute for a while now and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. 3 months of hard work. Happy (upcoming) new years everyone! See you on the next one.
i've been waiting for you...
MR. KREPSHUS JUST GAVE YOU A SHOUT-OUT!! 🔥🔥🔥
@Ilia Ts Did you enjoy the Ahsoka show, I think it added some really cool moments to the Star Wars Universe!!!
Hey llia TS the part 4:41 reminded me so much of freiza finding and manipulating super broly mixed with Z broly hes The legendary super sayin they know his power will be to strong to control
Phenomenal video
Hayden Christensen was perfect as Anakin/Vader
He is a good man. Thank God
I love his long-term commitment to the character.
He did such a good job showing how and why he transformed. And the writing of it to make us empathize and understand he could not heed yodas training. He could not let go of his pain in knowing the future, he was trapped by it. I don't understand why so many people don't like anything but the original movies. I grew up with iv, v, and vi, now there is so much more depth to character.
Early Vader yes , people who say he was like a child etc , etc , that’s exactly the point
Small portions of his acting bothered me, but I mostly agree with you.
Anakin has the most tragic story in cinematic history. What could’ve been if he never was deceived by Sidious. He truly was the Chosen One.
I mean he ultimately did restore balance to the force.
Anakin and Arthas
It wasn't just because Palpatine decieved him. Qui-Gon dying sealed his fate because he was the only Jedi able to help Anakin understand and accept loss because he wasnt a council Jedi. Anakin needed a father figure. Instead he got Palpatine. Qui-Gon didnt care for politics and did what was right. The council Jedi were arrogant and way too politically motivated. Anakin numerous times tried to talk to the council and they said accept it. Let go. Obi-Wan was more council the Qui-Gon and too young to train an all powerful and troubled Padawan. Visions be damned. It was a perfect storm. Anakin was to blame, Obi-Wan was to blame, Palpatine was to blame, and, the Jedi Council was to blame. My favorite character in cinema or literature. Because I could see myself going down that same dark road, with the force super powers you think you control, but, in reality controls the user. I know I would have fallen no matter how much I loved and cared. That's why Anakin/Vader is my favorite. P.s. I would have taken off Mace Windu's head not his hand. He to me represents the worst of the council. But that's just my opinion.
Nah he's a bad character
What a load of horseshit. It's tragic but not the most in film history that's a goofy take
Hayden Christensen was chosen to play this role by the force. You feel every step of the transformation in his face and soul. Born to be Anakin...
He was the chosen one
His recent performances have shone a new light on his skills, it truly shows that the script failed him on the prequels not the other way arround, the cooler deeper voiced anakin version from the clone wars perfected the essence of the character and its now showing in live action
Like Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker...
@@altzard6170Prequels Anakin is exactly as Anakin should be lol. People just don’t like awkward protagonists.
TCW Anakin isn’t Anakin, he’s just Han Solo lite in an Anakin body
Hayden is remarkable❤
My daughter is just old enough to start being interested in the Star Wars stories. She always asks me why Darth Vader is my favorite character. When she's a little older, I'll show her this, and she'll know.
She doesn't knooow..... the Powaah..... of the Dark Side.
Binge all the Star Wars stuff on Disney+ with her and let her grow up with the character :)
The best villain of all time! 🙂❤️❤️❤️ Reletable but evil, the pure hero and cruel bad guy. Vader/Anakin feels like harsh life but in the end you gets revarded and Luke is like yours dreams when you think that everything in life will be always easy/undisturbed by life. 🙂
@@dawidschaffrath8426 Lol how exactly does Vader get rewarded?
@@user-kd7qu5hj5q Being a force ghost is good and also he is somehow a God/„keeper of World between worlds” in Ahsoka show.
When everyone else gave up on him Luke was willing to die to redeem his father. A true Jedi.
Owen and Beru clearly raised him well.
Just for Disney to make him go into isolation, fuck over everything he ever believed in, throw HIS lightsaber away, and RUINED Kylo Ren, the only ACTUAL SkyWalker 🤦🏻♂️
Luke was the only True Jedi since Qui Gon Jin. The rest of them was just políticians, consumed by the dark Side, not by anger, but arrogance and ego....a wonderful history.
@@anthonyverdugo3899I don't remember there being any movies after return of the Jedi
@@Lots17the prequels rocked, best saber fights cool worlds interesting intrigue. The sequels however started by copying the earlier films then just kind of doing a mess of stuff and throwing some feminist agenda in there and then mentioning stuff from the original to try to makeup for the lack of a coherent story.
Someone needs to send this to Hayden Christensen. All the grief he got for his acting skills proved wrong in one 18 minute fan made video. Watched this way it truly shows how incredible Anakin’s journey was from beginning to end, and beyond.
JAKE TO THE KID ANAKIN WAS TREATED HORIBLE BY STAR WARS NERDS
at least nowadays people understand that it was the skript, not the actor
he did his best with the material he got
Shame he has no social midia
@@angerami77 midia. I don’t have that either
Script is awesome@@SuperLukePower
“Be brave.. and never look back”
- Shmi Skywalker
Anakin really followed that in every choices he made.
Untill it's too late
A kid, a youngling, a padawan, a hero, a friend, a warrior, a jedi, a killer, a father, a sith, but never a master
never a master but simply the one who brought balance to the force
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, THIS IS UNFAIR
A lover.
Well said
Technically he was a master because Ashoka was his Padawan, he was just never a Jedi Master only stayed at the rank of Jedi Knight
Disney has lost sight of what Star Wars means. It is this. Beautiful work.
'somehow Palpatine returned' 🤣
Can you imagine destroying such a good sci-fi story after investing millions upon millions of dollars into it? As far as I’m concerned, Disney episodes don’t count. At all. And if you like them, then something is wrong with YOU. Not a true fan.
@@Rggggg456 you're right there.
Say what you will about the Sequels and some of the shows, but not everything Disney made was bad, as proven by Rogue One, Andor, the first 2 Seasons of The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch, etc.
@@cccycling5835cry harder
Not at all... Ashoka and Obi Wan stories has complete even more the Anakin´s full story
Typically never comment on CZcams. This was a truly epic masterpiece, can't remember the last time I was entertained for 18 minutes straight in this type of high pace material. You have an ability that Hollywood lost long time ago. Amazing stuff!
Truly means a lot. 🙏
Completely agree with Christian. When the Luke scenes kicked in towards the end, made me tear up. Jeez bro, respect and thankful for the power of your edit.
This cut was truly the best Star Wars summary I could have imagined possible! I genuinely teared up at the end. You've made me remember the good that is behind Star Wars thru the politics and wokeness that Disney has been trying to tack on over the years. Star Wars has always been the Skywalker story and those around him. To deny that is criminal and undeserving of opinion or criticism. I can't express enough the joy this mere 18 min video has brought be and to the editor I just want to say thank you so much for touching on the best memories of life growing up with these legendary stories!
I must agree, oh what could have been!
Seems like "Star Wars" 1977 was woke from the get-go. Han Solo's the conservative, (guns/money/sleaze/short sighted selfish) that turns a new leaf, Kenobi the idealist spiritual new age progressive mentality, Leia the strong woman who takes the mans's gun and literally and takes charge and denies to bow to any authority of all the men all around her. @@drastiin2630
The redemption of Vader only comes as a direct result of Luke's refusal to give up on his father. Kenobi, even Yoda were unable to do that. I love the lightsaber battles, but as an adult I now realize that the wielding of the blades and being a jedi was more than just power or skill. Those colors of green and red really represented the greater battle of evil vs. good, and it's fitting that the victory doesn't come as a result of the blade or the power of Luke. The light side wins because of Luke's refusal to condemn and call to his father to be redeemed. It is never too late to start doing what's right, to turn and be healed. This theme is what makes the story so great and timeless.
well said
Green is relaxing so it fits perfectly with Luke who had faith that his father can be redeemed.
Let’s not pretend like Vader didn’t also play a hand in his own redemption, he sacrificed himself to save his own son. Luke very much reminded Vader of who he was/who he really is.
Just like Vader destroyed Anakin, it was Anakin who destroyed Vader and Sidious in one swift blow, Luke was no where near powerful enough… Vader was.
Luke was the catalyst but the good was always still there inside Vader, he just needed someone that he didn’t feel betrayed by to believe in him. Both Luke AND Anakin saved the galaxy.
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.
Bravo. A true masterpiece that perfectly encapsulates the emotion and tragedy of Star Wars' best character. Well done.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Where can i watch it...?
This was an INCREDIBLE summary of Anakins story, it's such a powerful story and watching this actually brought a tear to my eye.
"a" tear? I dehydrated!
Same. Watched with my sons and I'm so excited to share all that is Star Wars with them as they get older.
mee too
We need a full blown Vader film. Him chasing Jedi throughout the galaxy.
Disney Would never. But I want that too.
Yessss
@@WholeCelerystar wars theory did it already youre welcome
And even Vader invading, and destroying Rebel bases. Need another Empire Strikes Back kind of movie.
No let anakin rest in the force he’s been thru hell and was redeemed by his son Luke
Hayden Christensen IS Anakin Skywalker. And this video is a masterpiece.
"Have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side?" - that line coming from Padme was so on point!
Why was she saying that?
@@gonzalosanchez1425 there is no good or bad. she understood that even the separatists were not completely wrong
@gonzalosanchez1425 because since she was a GOOD politician, she actually was seeing the political corruption that was happening right in front of everyone's faces and they were CHEERING for it. The government of America literally came to be right in front of everyone, and she couldn't do anything about it......
I believe that sentence was the one sole reason that gave anakin the conviction to continue on his path
god knows all our truths
Man, this was amazing - the sync of the clips, the sound, the storytelling. I especially loved how you dove into how Vader affected other characters even though the video wasn't specifically about them, it really enhanced the emotion & the tragedy. Great work.👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much man, truly means so much coming from you 🙏🙏
And no animated content, because the constant change of format can be distracting. Still managed to encapsulate the clone wars and Ahsoka.
Love seeing the GOATs watch each others work!
@@IliaTS This would have been better if you included clips from 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' and 'Star Wars: Rebels', but it's still really good.
In the end he finally saved someone he truly loved
Hayden Christian is Vader and he embodies the transition absolutely perfectly. The conflict, the torment, the horror and the dread. All were conveyed so well, and the chemistry with Padme was a very believable catalyst, I mean who wouldn’t want to give up everything for someone you love as much as that.
Tragedy is real.
When Obi Wan says "I'm sorry for all of it", I have the feeling that real emotions are going through both Hayden and Ewan
fukk all of this Bullshit
I also felt that line as so profound. Everything Anakin went through. All of it. Obi Wan witnessed along the way and ultimately couldn’t stop Anakin from finally becoming the monster of Darth Vader.
@@coreyworthingtonii9230yes, plus the fact Anakin shed a tear after the apology made me break up. He truly came full circle, and fulfilled the prophecy.
"OH, i hate yew" 💫
Which movie was that from? I don’t remember obi wan say sorry for all of it? Or is this from those Disney offshoots series?
Did anyone else get emotional at the end or is it just me. Absolute masterpiece 💪👏
I cried at the end of Return of the Jedi the first time I saw it. Absolutely just got emotional.
i did too@@HisVirusness
I did..I was crying half way through it
Yes i did.
I Love this story more then any other and whenever i feel week, i think about the ways of the force. It makes me stronger!
I Wish i would be sensitive to the force
@@tt121976not yet still watching
Anakins story is truly the saddest thing ever. This video made me cry.
I love the ww1 implications with vaders design like a German storm trooper ❤
I’m just stumbling upon this now. This was incredible. Thank you to all who were involved in creating this
it was just 1 man, and the force is strong with him.
Maul is another great one
I'm 53. THIS is my Star Wars. THIS.
„Be brave and don’t look back.. don’t look back“ always pushes tears into my eyes
This made me feel something for Star Wars again.
"If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny" is exact phrase which always motivates me when I encounter an obstacle or I feel distressful in my life..
It’s crazy, literally every Darth Vader line was iconic in OG trilogy. Could’ve been a great philosopher if he wasn’t a sith 😂
Anakin was my favorite when I was a kid. I turned 12 just in time for Revenge of the Sith. Watching him turn into Darth Vader was crazy. That was one of the greatest movie experiences I ever experienced.
I was born in 1983 so I already knew what happens but when I watched it for the very first time, I was just as shocked when I found out that Vader is the father of Luke as you were when you found out that Anakin is Vader.
This video, without a doubt, represents the most remarkable depiction of Anakin Skywalker and his transformation into Darth Vader that I have ever come across. It captures the essence of Anakin's extraordinary journey, leading from a heroic figure to a formidable villain, and ultimately finding redemption to become good once again. I cannot stress enough how this portrayal resonates with me on a deep level, forging an even stronger bond with the Star Wars universe.
While every aspect of the Star Wars saga is undeniably awe-inspiring and enjoyable, it is the legacy of Anakin Skywalker that stands above all else. His story, as portrayed in this video, is a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of his character. It takes us back to his early years, portraying him as a wide-eyed child, brimming with untapped potential and innocence. As the scenes seamlessly transition, we witness Anakin's growth as he embarks on the path of a Jedi apprentice, his destiny intertwined with the unfolding events of the Clone Wars.
One aspect that truly captivates me is the inclusion of Anakin's own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Their bond is beautifully portrayed, showcasing the mentorship and camaraderie that develops between them. Through their shared experiences, we witness Anakin's guidance and the profound impact he has on shaping Ahsoka into the remarkable Jedi she becomes. The video masterfully weaves in scenes of their interactions, highlighting the depth of their connection.
But the video doesn't stop there; it goes beyond the confines of Anakin's apprentice and delves into the relationships he forms with other significant characters. We are treated to glimpses of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Padme, individuals who play pivotal roles in Anakin's life. These scenes serve as poignant reminders of the love, loss, and sacrifices that shape Anakin's journey.
As the narrative unfolds, we are transported to the tumultuous era of the Galactic Civil War. It is here that Anakin, now known as Darth Vader, is confronted by those who were once close to him. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Luke, in particular, stand as powerful symbols of the conflict that exists within Anakin's soul. The video skillfully portrays their emotional encounters, showcasing the internal struggle that Anakin faces as he grapples with his past and the choices he has made.
What truly sets this video apart is how seamlessly it merges all these intricately woven scenes together. The transitions are flawless, creating a cohesive and visually stunning experience. Every frame serves a purpose, painting a vivid picture of Anakin's journey and the profound impact he has on the galaxy.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. The tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is one of the best arcs in all of cinema. Awesome job, man!
Beautifully done, my friend. The Irony with Anakin was that, in the end, he did eventually bring balance to the force.
Thank you! That's why you hear Yoda faintly saying "a prophecy that misread could have been" right before Vader kills Palpatine, little symbolism👀
really it was his sausage but yeah your right
@@IliaTSoh my god
no the sith were still strong in numbers even after the empire fell. It was Rey who brough balance. Once the empire fell, Sidious was still working behind the scenes.
@@PurplePuffy1Disney's sequels aren't canon🤡☠️🤦🏾♀️🤨🙄George Lucas the creator explicitly stated Anakin is the Chosen One even as Darth Vader🙃
You never get tired of viewing Vader. The power, the helmet and cape, the tragedy.
The whole complexity of his character is great. 🙂👍
Anakin/Vader is the epitomy of human nature. Sometimes no matter how hard we try we always give in to our weaknesses.
These 18 minutes were so uch better than 3 movies from disney . True justice to Skywalker saga!
Chills. Bloody chills! The emotions you’ve managed to evoke far surpasses that of what Disney has managed in years. Thank you for reminding me what Star Wars was, is, and forever will be.
Well, the prequels were super hated before. Star Wars used to be hated, is hated and will forever be hated. Heck, ESB is seen as the best one by many, and even that was hated when it first arrived
@@Chemical_Argentum are you implying that the sequels (along with whatever miscellaneous media they’ve produced) are to be received well down the road?
@@IncognitoJohnDoe I agree! When I was a kid in the 90s, watching all the OT movies back to back, I liked ESB the least. I thought it was too dark and slow paced. Now it’s one of my favorite movies (and not just fav SW movie). Yes indeed, it was designed to age well
@@raindropsonthewindowsill5170 I am implying nothing more that what I wrote. Star Wars has ALWAYS been had a fanbase that have loved to hate it. That’s all I said
@@Chemical_Argentum okay, I disagree, but great to clear that up🤗
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, the most badass yet tragic heroes/villains of all time!
14:10 is just pure goosebumps, I love when editors make it so that it seems like Anakin is remembering these things after all of it has already happened. Really shows how thoughtful and sensible he still was, even after he became Vader.
my niece sent me this couple of months after I introduced her to Star wars Universe, I am proud today, I raised her right ❤
This truthfully might be the best fan made montage on youtube. Incredible work
5:48 That tear comes with the weight of a decision that would change the entire galaxy forever. Always gives me chills
Star wars young Jedi adventure
I have been a Star Wars fan for 18 years. I know this story backwards and forwards. And despite knowing everything that happens, this video brought me absolutely to tears. This is such a beautiful tribute to Anakin Skywalker. Well done!!!
Anakin Skywalker. The fallen angel, and the greatest character ever created.
Genuinely the best character and the best villain in fiction for me and the most heartbreaking. Because you don't feel like he should be killed, you don't feel like he's evil. He needs to be saved and that's what happens
The way George wrote this story and the way Hayden plays him blows my mind. The OG's and the Prequels are for me the only SW movies, damn the rest.
When I finish showing everything there is about Star Wars to my now 8 months old son, I will make sure that he watches this masterpiece as well.
God those Padme flashbacks before he throws Palpatine, HIT! Vader, the tragedy of Star Wars, the man who lost it all.
This is a real masterpiece.
I can feel how much espresso went into this edit! Well done my friend! Honored to share this editing space with you. MTFBWY ❤️
Thank you so much Alex! There's indeed an overabundance of espresso in my blood right now😭 May the force be with you!

Why is Star wars making me cry all of a sudden. These prequels were never as bad as they made out. One day ppl will appreciate them more.
send this to George Lucas

Anyone notice how the lightsaber clashes were synced to the music? In addition to all the other praise, the attention to detail and the effort to make it perfect is inspiring.
"Are you an angel?" - Anakin
There is no story that compels me the way Anakin's does.
You've created a masterpiece of a tribute and made me feel emotions rarely caused by a video.
Can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
One of the most epic character arcs in cinematic history. Thank God it was the love of his son that brought him back…the most satisfying payoff in movie history.
Totally agree
@@jasonmcdaniel1704 agreed too luke love,compassion,care for his father anakin skywalker so emotionally beautiful that's how I am with my real life father 😊
Can we shout out Hayden Christensen The Chosen One.... Just look on every emotion he portrays on every level... was on point! you can really feel it too
And this video is a masterpiece!!! Excelent
Fr. The hate he received was never warranted. George's shit dialogue was to blame for the prequels,never Haydon. You felt every emotion with him. While a lot of the new Disney stuff is bollocks,Haydon getting his renaissance is probably the best thing to come out of it all.
Never thought I'd get goosebumps watching a video about Anakin Skywalker, but here I am. A true masterpiece! 💙
Vader/Anakin has always been my favorite character as I have always felt no matter how much we get of them, its never enough. That character is so deep and has so much behind it building and so many connections its one of the greatest most complex characters ever made and this video, is absolutely breathtaking, the build of the boy who had the world placed on him, the fall of a hero, the rise of a villain, the destruction and tyranny he brought, his inner struggle with himself, his breaking, his completing of his destiny. This video was prefect and left me gripping my face in amazement great job and thank you.
If this edit was any better, the universe would tear itself apart. This is an insane piece of cinematic history, combining all the key moments of the Skywalker Saga, showcasing the faults of the Order, deception of the Sith, the emotional manipulation of Anakin as well as the grip Vader had on the Galaxy by pure fear alone. The transition where Krennic looks at Vader in sheer horror with the sound of Palpatine giving Vader his Sith name was jaw dropping. The part where a remixed version of duel of the fates plays when Vader faces Obi Wan, then cuts to silence shows the hatred, fear, sweat, tears and brotherhood shared between the two. The transition from the Hallway scene to the multiple other fights was just unbelievable
The Anakin/Vader story is as much about heartbreak as it is redemption. Anakins heart broke when he couldnt save his mom, then he couldnt save Padme. The Emperor saw the rage inside of him and twisted it into the most powerful Sith at that time. His redemption comes at the cost of his own life sadly. This edit perfectly sums all of that up. Thank you for this.
Well said
The one time yoda speaks in an ordinary mannner is when anakin became Vader. It made him forget his lifelong momento to his former master
absolutely amazing editing. I love it so much. Adore the Star Wars. Truly the best 18 minutes I’ve spent on CZcams for the last year especially❤
This actually brought me to tears 😭
….sounds about right🫤
in my 15 years of existance, I have never considered watching Star Wars until now.
You really should, worst case scenario, it’s just something entertaining to watch and never again. At best, you discover a whole new world and love it. Good luck on whatever choice you make!
Do it
Same
Don’t watch the sequels
Welcome.
Hayden Christensen owned this role
Not gonna lie, this was hard to watch without almost crying. Disney has failed everyone who put hard work, passion, dedication and God given talent to tell the story that took place in a galaxy far, far away.
This was insanely good. Anakin is one of my favorite characters. Even as I go through the ROTS book I find myself putting it off to complete even though its so good. Knowing that Anakin will turn is so sad. Amazing work!
I prefer Vader over Anakin, but. i haven’t read the ROTS book so I guess I would be a little less attached as you are, but Darth Vader is just an amazing, intimidating, STRONG character. He is just purely awesome and a force to be reckoned.
What a terrific tribute to the greatest and most complex hero and villain in Star Wars history
Cinema history*
That could be the best 18 minutes of anything i've ever watched. Thank you
bro dropped the hardest darth vader edit and thought we wouldn’t notice
Mannn, I don't even have words. The fact that you can make an 18 minute long video on a character you've already edited and somehow make it completely fresh and unique to the last one is mindblowing to me. The best storyteller in the community hands down, the music choices are top tier.. especially for the "Destiny" act of the video, the whole battle montage was incredibly well edited. Chill-worthy masterpiece as always brother🤍
Thank you so much pyro, means a lot myman. I can't even properly remember how much I worked on this, it's all a blur. But it took a LOT of damn effort and I'm glad it paid off. Happy you liked the destiny part, also my favourite 😃 Always appreciate your presence here man, thanks a lot.
Unbelievable, I teared up when I heard "Are you an angel?" This video shows how poetic his story is
My goodness this edit is unreal!!!
This video encapsulates the confliction and tragedy of Anakin/Vader perfectly.
It showcases his character arc from beginning to end.
Probably the best character ever designed in cinematic history. A tragedy of no comparission. A masterpiece. And you captured all of...perfectly. Chefs kiss. Chapeau!
Anakin Skywalker has the best story in cinematic history !
Wow an absolute masterpiece ! The sound editing is really great, the storytelling is amazing ! The amount of work put into this really pays out, you can be proud !
Thank you so much Mederic! Happy to see you here 🙏
The best Darth Vader edit i've ever seen. My god. I cried through it because it truly conveyed all the emotions and Anakins tragic story to it's full extent.
"You were right. You were right about me." --= That ending with force ghost Anikin surrounded by a clearing storm and light rays shining through the clouds in the distance made me cry waterfalls. Spectacular work!
I'm not a big commenter, only do it when I feel necessary but this, this is necessary to give my feedback. I have never in 7 years been able to be as entertained as this without losing focus, or interest, or anything. It just about brought tears to my eyes. This is truly one of the best pieces of art I have seen out of something fan made for anything. Please by all means, no matter any hate you ever receive, or any thoughts you have on your work, Never Stop Creating. You have a gift, please use it.
George Lucas would absolutely love this! Well done!
Emotional roller coaster, from fear, pain, and anger. To joy, happiness, and pleasure. Anakin was my hero growing up, and when I finally seen the ending to his story still brings tears to my eyes. A boy who was lost, a order that rejected his feelings, and his master who was disappointed in him. Realizing in the end they were all right, and knowing what he must do in the end.
THE END MADE ME CRY, IT'S WONDERFUL
This is a masterpiece. Although Anakin/Vader is a fictional character, your heart breaks for him after piecing together his life story. This made us see the person in a deeper light.
What a terrific tribute to the greatest and most complex hero to villain to hero in history
Vader in Ahsoka series was so good. I also love how they gave explanation for the head wound. that saber hit was so well made. so brutal. I just love it.
Your editing is amazing. Every time I come back to this video, there is another quick, soft, perfect little moment. It's amazing how the entire series really is focused around this one character. A story written from the end, then the beginning, written backwards and out of order. You lay it all out in a way that distills the entire series into one man's life. The entire world is a man's struggle between the light and dark inside him.
I’m not a big fan of edits but this one brought me to tears
I am a 31y old man and i bursted into tears at the end, wow what a Masterpiece.
im literally crying. this video is so amazing. my entire childhood and upbringing, I feel the pain, the loss, the fear, the joy, the love, the PASSION. this is what movies like this are about. THIS is art, the emotion. i love this character, I will always love this character because he is much more than a character. he is the representation of LIFE itself. Its beautiful, honestly couldn't imagine my life without such a powerful story about loss and forgiveness. he lost his friends, his family and himself but in the end. he found himself one last time, to forgive himself.
This is the most MAGNIFICENT collage of ALL the things collective about DARTH VADER and the SKYWALKERS.
What an IMPRESSIVE and DYNAMIC tribute to the legendary performances of ALL CHARACTERS involved regarding this cinematic masterpiece of StarWars.
THANK YOU for your contribution, editing, and everything that you put together.
A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE, THE BEST!
❤❤❤
This is easy one of the best, if not the best, tribute I've seen this year. Every time I'll go back to watch this video I'll think "This is where the fun begins". Truly amazing, I really mean it.
What an absolute Masterpiece. Anakin is such a tragic character, and this video captured that perfectly. Well done!!
Man I just keep watching this. It keeps on putting me in a trance for all 18 minutes.
Still here
again
yo
back
the music is just impeccable
As we all live to see this cinematic masterpiece , a piece which has united us in community and praise this masterpiece but as Vader would so 'be brave and never look back' and we should do that move on as the greatest villain has become the master who has raised us and gave us a purpose
Holy shit.
This is probably the best Darth Vader tribute I've ever seen, it captured every parallel and it just flowed together so beautifully. The Destiny section was easily my favourite. THIS is Darth Vader, incredible work as always Ilia. 🔥🔥🔥
That means so much! Destiny is also my favourite, and the one that took most time planning out and executing. Glad it was worth it in the end. Thank you 🙏
This is great! Epic👌🏾
The greatest fictional character of all time.
This IS the Star Wars Saga. This IS the Skywalker Story. Probably the greatest character arc in fictional and cinematic history.
What an amazing 18-minute long summary of the most amazing story in all of cinematic history hands down. I think Anakin in ahsoka was the best version of him on film then revenge of the sith I think Star wars is the greatest story of all time next to the Bible but equally as important for everyone who took time to pay attention to it and read it all the way through what an awesome clip you put together Thank you so much
