i'm screaming so loud now - True fan Deepest thought
hes turned to the darkest side of the force, the ben dovers kinds of ja ja beans
a boy who lost his mother, a husband who lost his wife, a man who lost his soul, but a father who never lost his son.....
I'm giving you pearls here.
Hard to lose someone you never had.
Adrian agreed
damn
I am starting to feel bad that i left him burning on Mustafar
The highground was too tempting to not use its power
Well, it’s true from a certain point of view.
No, you did the right thing. He brought balance.
its okay he knocks you out of the park old timer
@Izuku Hope anakin looks up, burning. his eyes turn, just for a moment, to their normal colors. he whispers, "save me, please". anakin stops moving, his head still up. his eyes turn yellow once again, and he is filled up with rage, yelling "i hate you!"
"As children we love the Hero's
As adults we understand the villains"
Beautiful!
Yes, we love that damn child murderer!
@@GunMeat are you telling me you dont murder a couple of kids every friday evening??
@@relaxingvk We dont care for jedi kids. We dont care for Alderaan population. Why should we care for damn sand people ?
well said
I'm gonna say it Anakin/ Vader is the best/ most amazing/ interesting/ beautifully deep and complex character in all of star wars. 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.
Or a better character period
@@matthewbuchanan3478 hmmm old republic sith lords are pretty good characters, but otherwise true
heartfc777 yea a guess but none of them have the character development of Anakin/Darth Vader it’s a story of two personas living in on body one fighting for the light the other the dark and there being a constant fight for control
Agreed, great way of putting it.
Jar Jar.
"The child who is not embraced by the village will one day burn it down to feel its warmth."
The best anaolgy ive heard for Vader. The council never cared about Anakin. He was a slave to them, a slave to Palpatine, and a slave to himself.
He was freeing slaves, saved Obi wan 10 times, and saved countless planets. He only turned becuz of the jedi lying and showing bad character and Palpatine deceived him into killing the Jedi along with a bunch of kids and ultimately losing control and losing who he was. As soon as he realized that the creating life and bringing people back from death for the greater good was bullshit as well as the whole bring peace to the galaxy for everyone was too it was already way too late. Palpatine even lies and said Anakin killed her. Anakins story is truly tragic and I barely scratched the surface of how tragic it really was.
This quote belongs to Joker soundtrack.
Dumbass they aren’t excuses. Have you happened to read or watch any Star Wars. When you have come and restate you’re flimsy argument. Next time maybe add a backbone before making a claim.
@@zmoneytmnt no shut up, he turned because of love and love alone. SHUT UP. jedi didn't allow his love that is all.
When my boy was three, we were watching Empire Strikes Back. At the end, when the Millennium Falcon leaps into hyperspace, Darth Vader is looking out the window, then he turns away and begins walking. Suddenly my boy says "Darth Vader is sad." Indeed.
“Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”
@@Flaxxxen exactly what I was thinking 😔
I looked at the picture at the start thinking 'Huh, that's pretty,' then as I kept listening to the music and staring at the picture, it made more sense. This is a man whose greatest fear has taken over his life: losing the people closest to him. He has lost everything he loves. His mother, imprisoned, tortured, and slaved to death by Tusken Raiders, had his wife die while giving birth to two children who he will never see for years, helped ruin the whole Jedi Order, his padawan left him only for the last time seeing her in a battle against her before dying, his closest friend who allowed him to come into the Order as the Chosen One because the man who he knew as the one to get him out of his slavery only to be killed and then to 'kill' him as revenge for cutting off his limbs and letting him catch on fire and burn until nearly dead, and then fighting along side R2D2 and C3PO, a robot who he built from scrap as a child, in the Clone Wars only to turn to the Dark Side never to see them again. Yeah. I understand why he is crying in the picture. He is regretting his life decisions. Even though through all the work to try to prevent the inevitable, he still proceeds to destroy everyone and everything he has come to love in his life. And in the picture, I find it cool that his mask hides him from seeing his body, showing him that his armor is hiding him from who he really is even though he truthfully and fully knows what he has become. His black and empty soul, filled with hatred for who he is. The picture really makes an impact with the music to show that he really mourns who he was and who has become.
I know I'm 5 months late but I'd also like to add on top of everything you said he is also experiencing excruciating pain from that suit that covers his body and he puts up with it because he feels like he deserves the pain that he earned in his deadly duel with obi wan
that was longer then my english exam and im not even kidding
"His (...) empty soul, filled with (...)". Is it empty or filled?
guillaume empty meaning deprived of any good
you fail to grasp the prophecy
Mustafar was the place where both Anakin and Obi-Wan truly died. One left as Darth Vader, the other as Old Ben. No one truly won that fight.
you are right. Both of them lost. Deep
Obi wan was changed after that battle because he basically almost killed his younger brother and best friend
thats deep
Because qui gon had wrong visions I always say
Woah...
"Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One?"
Keeganator I don’t know if you meant this to be a joke but that kinda hit hard dude 😂
He had such a knowledge of the dark side, and yet discovered his way back to the light.
It's not a story the sith would tell you
Darth Vader the Deceived
@Michael Ortega He was the Chosen One through out his entire life. It was said by George Lucas that Luke Skywalker was the catalyst for him to break free from the Dark Side and complete his destiny.
Vader.
A merciless monster.
Behind the mask.
A broken hearted child.
And father.
@@birdie3rdie Lol
GTFO. Broken hearted child and monster? He's the commander of the entire Imperium. He's not out there just killing people to kill people. He's doing his job which is to lead entire armies on scouting missions, tactical recon, defensive strategies, quelling rebellions, and yes... Planetary takeovers. He does special assignments for the Emperor. He's a military strategist and hero of the imperium. A feared one. Still, he is respected for his accomplishments. It's his methods of punishment towards repeat failures and his mindset when persuading someone. It's what he is taught and told to do.

I listen to this as me and my wife both loved the story of Anakin. My wife passed away 37 days ago and this is exactly how I am feeling right now. SO LOST! So broken! I dont know what to do with myself :( I feel like how Anakin felt when he lost Padame. I wish I could have saved her from death :(
She gave you good memories to hold on to, to help through the tough time's, until you meet again. She's watching you, smiling upon you, loving you from a distance, and yet always close. Honor her back with a smile, with a memory, with a chuckle. 🍻 keep the chin up my man, you experienced a beautiful thing with her, love, never forget that.
@@mfwicbasterd477 I love this perspective. As hard as it is to lose somebody so close, we have to remind ourselves of the good times we shared with those people. That’s what makes life worth living. For those beautiful memories. Even if they are short lived, at least we got something to look back on, because countless people don’t even get that chance
I can't imagine how you feel man.. I wish you a lot of strength and let it be known if you ever wanna talk. Be strong and make your wife proud.

Anakin was never allowed to grieve, he was never allowed to heal. Let yourself grieve and heal over time. This being human is a guest house, every day someone new arrives, welcome and entertain them all, be grateful for the time you have with each of them, because they were sent to you as a guide.

There are a frighteningly true thou meant as humorous sketch of two guys in in SS uniforms talking where it ends with the question "are we the baddies"? I think that realisation have come to a lot of people trapped in villainy. After WW2 several people stepped forward and confessed to their crimes and with their testimonies helped capture others that tried to avoid justice. Some may have done this in a bid for a lighter sentence while others where haunted by their concience.

We all think his greatest foe was palpatine. But it was himself.
Beneath the iron mask and black cloak lies not only the fear and power of the dark lord but also the broken heart of a hero, a child who has strayed from the path. The melody in this video captures the deeply human side of Darth Vader, which we often forget - that of a father, a friend, and a man who once had big dreams. This video reminds us that even in darkness, there is always a spark of light. Let us never forget that behind every legend is a story of loss, love, and hope. Farewell, Anakin... 🕯
I've watched all SW movies lately during COVID-19 lockdown and Anakin's story is heartbreaking. Whenever I see Vader now I see a very different person.
Watch the clone wars show. The finale makes you feel sympathetic towards him
That's why I think prequels are amazing. The story there was trully devastating. Not only Anakins, but all who were close to him.
Same. My husband got me into it and I’m obsessed with the narrative. I feel vaders conflicting soul through the movie. I’m still learning the episodes between the movies like clone wars, etc. but it’s so hard not to watch.
@@hawkeye770 wish i had a wife like you who watch good stuff
thats why SW is not a movie a about Galaxys and Wat is about Family, George Lucas has said this lot of times
People forget that Anakin bringing balance to the force included ending the jedi order. Sometimes being chosen isn't all it's meant to be, and the jedi never saw themselves as being part of the prophecy.
Yeah. The only reason they let him be a part of the jedi at all was so they could use him as their tool to wipe out the sith one day. Honestly, if the jedi were paying attention, Anakin, and what he went through, put a spotlight on what the jedi had become
@@alexandraschroeder2327 This comment is truly underrated because it is the exact truth.
And cal cestis saw that
True... until you look at Rise of Skywalker, and the trilogy that shall not be named.
A thought I had today:
What if part of the reason Anakin was so angry all the time was bc the force was angry? What if his strong connection to the force caused him to feel the force?
What if the force was angry with the Sith tampering, the Republic corruption, and, most of all, the complacency of the Jedi who were supposed to stand against both but allowed them to continue?
George Lucas said that the story of Star Wars was really centered on the Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker. I think this music underscores exactly the feeling that George Lucas was going for. Bravo.
And then Disney came along.....
But then Disney cames, and shit covered the new movies and they forgot about Anakin. I'm sorry I feel fear, anger and hate. It makes me suffer
@@Pryad881 YESS, what happened to o Disney, now days all they do is a complete shit.
Not in the beginning thou. Anakin and Vader where still meant to be different people during the first movie, episode IV. It was a good thing that George Lucas merged them into a more complex character later.
That thumbnail slays me.
Y’all ever think about the fact that Anakin spends his entire life putting himself in danger to protect the people he loves only to have them abandon him,die, or both but Luke is the only one who puts himself in danger for him and refuses to leave his side?
Anakin's life story truly is depressing I feel sorry for him. The pain the sadness and the anger he must of felt when he lost his friends his family and especially his wife padme
I believe Anakin "brought" balance to the force by having Luke and Leah as children, not through himself. Luke was the man Anakin always wanted to be and brought that balance by turning his father back to the light after the inevitable reign of the empire and goes on to recreate the Jedi temple etc.
I like to think the title "Return of the Jedi" refers more to Anakin returning to the Jedi before his death than Luke bringing about the return of Jedi's.
👍
Nah it refers to Luke returning after being trained by Yoda
@@guyfromthe80s92 nah, Anakin Skywalker is The Chosen One, he is the truly hero of Star Wars, not Luke.
@@skywalker2230 The return of the Jedi refers to Luke being AWOL in the movie. Everyone is suprised when Luke returns because hes been missing, some even thought he was dead. The return of the Jedi clearly refers to Luke returning. And Luke is the hero of the saga, hes the one that brought balance to the force. Anakin was more like a false prophet.
@@guyfromthe80s92 So close my guy - Anakin brought balance to the force: he had children who ultimately turned the tide against the darkness because of love and compassion.
There is a comic where there was an alternate final showdown between Darth Vader and Darth Maul. Maul manages to gain the upper hand and is about to deal a deathblow from behind.
Only to have Vader reverse his lightsaber grip and plunge it through his own body, striking a surprise lethal blow on Maul instead.
As he dies, Maul asks "What could you possibly hate enough...to defeat me?", since Sith do seem to be draw strength from their powerful negative emotions.
Vader responds with a single word.
"Myself."
Daaaaaamn. Do you know which comic this is?
@@josephperez2004 Thanks a bunch! Guess I'll have to check it out!
@@ToastierJet3082 Happy to help.
SW Tales 9, what a powerful story in that comic. Vader is the best character, ever.
Wow, I never heard that before.....thanks for sharing!
"Tell your sister, you were right.." And with his final breaths, he looked his son in the face, wanting to reach out and touch him, if only to feel what it was like to be human again, but his ailing body failed to do so..and so laid is head to rest, letting the force take his mind and his body, to feel the light again after so long was like bringing a warm fire to a shivering man.. liberating. Then there was white..not darkness- and when he opened his eyes again, he felt wind in his hair, a breeze along his finger tips, and miles among miles of Naboo Grassland. And in his moment of brief confusion a voice called out to him. "Anakin!" The voice was familiar, one that he had not heard since..he turned with sudden shock, stretching his arms out around Padme, nearly breaking into tears as he gripped her tightly against him. He pulled away from her slowly as he felt her stomach feeling as it was flat, smiling warmly as he looked off towards the rising morning sun. The End of The Tragedy of Darth Vader was here, now The Liberation of Anakin Skywalker was just beginning. He would finally live life as he would have wanted in the force. His son was out there, and perhaps he would serve the force better than he could have. Yes, yes he would, because he is the Son of Anakin Skywalker.
Wow, heartwarming thoughts, it hit me straight in my core.
I hope for Anakin, that this is the way his story comes to an end....
Thanks, SunFiles, for that fine little tale.
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks :,)
Wonderful.
Anakin did exactly what the force intended, he brought balance by destroyed the jedi and the sith but at the cost of himself, in truth Anakin Skywalker never stopped being a slave
“No longer sure one ever does win a war, I am.” -Yoda
"Fear leads to anger..."
His mother was back at his arms. Her scarred face looked up at him in pain, yet she seemed at peace. She took his hand, 'Anakin, I..I love...,' Her shaky voice was interrupted by screams. Screams of Padme.
"Anger leads to hate.."
'Master Skywalker there are too many of them what are we going to do?' A little boy looked at him, his eyes scared but faithful that Anakin would save them. After all he was the Hero with No Fear, the hero of the Clone Wars.
This time he didn't ignite his lightsaber. He brought his hand up and suddenly he was back at Mustafar. In front of him stood Padme, gasping for air as he suddenly realized what he was doing.
"Hate leads to suffering"
'I know' With those words, Ahsoka turned and walked away. Away from the Temple, the Order, her life as a Jedi. Away from him.
Then her silhouette changed.
First, it was Obi-Wan whose back Anakin was facing. Then the distant figure became Padme. Before she disappeared, her silhouette changed into two smaller ones hand in hand walking down the Temple's stairs.
Away from him.
He was alone, the only thing he heard was his own breathing.
Deep, long breaths.
Wow...
His vicious cycle of fear that created his suffering was finally over... Death was the most freedom and peace he had ever experienced. .
The likes were at 69 before I liked, so I'm sorry. But it was just too good not to like.
*Damn.*
Yoda sounds like a fortune cookie.
I use to think Luke's ability to see that Vader still had good in him was a combination of his force powers and sheer hope and optimism, but now I think it was more than Luke's own capabilities in seeing into his father's conflict. I think when Vader discovered his son his love for him was so strong and Anakin began to resurface and the force of that light was undeniable to Luke. When he tells Obi Wan, Vader, and Leia that there is good still in him he is not just hopeful, he is certain.
He didn’t know, he just had faith in his Father
the first one in see good in him was padme tho :(
Absolutely.. till the very end.

Hello friend, My name is Lincoln. I don't know you (and by the way, I'm sorry for my english). I'm from a slum ("favela", in good portuguese) here from Brazil. I do not know your history or your struggles, but briefly I wanted to talk about my struggles, my history. Today, I'm a doctor, but it wasn't always like this
Man, in my childhood, I suffered some sexual abuse from a relative, and it initially affected my life. After that, I had sexual contacts in my childhood with cousins (male and female). It almost destroyed me. I also began to be a slave of pronography very early on, and that eroded me from within. Also, I might not even exist, because my mother, when she was a child, was adopted by a very loving woman: my grandmother, Maria Cleomar. She and my grandfather are illiterate and have already starved. My father is now unemployed, my mother, as well as my grandmother, have already swept the floor to make money, my grandfather is a humble carpenter. Still in my childhood, I was once almost kidnapped on a street by a child abuser. On another occasion I accidentally drank some poison. I say what I lived, and I say with certainty that poison is bitter. I also say that sometimes life can be bitter, and I say from what I see every day, because, as I said, I live in a slum, and I often see people drowning in their own blood. Cousins and childhood friends who got lost in drugs and crime.
That was the way that awaited me. But man, I realized I had something different in my life. I realized this was NOT the way I (and no one) had to go. That "different look" was really God's look in my life, and I'll tell you why. At 10, I won a scholarship (full) at the best school in the north-northeast region of Brazil. And there, despite certain social difficulties (such as some situations of racism), or even with the difficulty of school subjects, God was highlighting me. With nights and nights of study, after 10 years in that school, I started to appreciate medicine. I took a test to enter a public university (here in Brazil, higher education works like this, you take a test). I didn't get the result I wanted, and I confess that it gave some distress. It came to my mind: "Have these long 10 years of study been in vain?"
No, they weren't. I also took a test for a private university for medicine. The medical course there costs around U$ 200,000. I don't know how much that sounds to a foreigner or American who has greater purchasing power. But for a Brazilian, this is a lot! Nearly 800,000 reais (Brazilian currency). But even though I was a poor, illiterate grandson with an unemployed father, I got a full scholarship. I don't pay a penny, and it is also the best private university in the north-northeast region of Brazil. I'm only in my second year of medical school, but I want to be a neurosurgeon, and not for glory or status, but to help people who go through difficult situations, lack of faith and hope, and maybe one of those people is you, brother.
I know, miles away, I can't do much, but I hope this story helps you. I recommend you, as a Doctor, seek medical help, as Depression and anxiety disorders are serious psychiatric conditions. But besides, from what I saw, from what I lived, and from what I won, I say that God has special eyes for you, dear brother. I'll pray for you, you can be sure. Therefore, NEVER accept words that make you look down, that you have no value, and things like that, for despite all your afflictions, until you were born, God dreamed of you. And he created you to be a being of light, even though the world, directly or indirectly, tells you otherwise. I do not say this by presenting you with a mere religion, but by passing on a teaching that a man who stepped on the earth 2,000 ago used to teach. I call him "master," and he calls me "friend". My master taught me to forgive. To forgive those who hurt me, like the rapist and the kidnapper. And taught me to pray for them too. My master, like my grandfather, was a carpenter, but he was also a great gardener. He took care of me like I was a tree or a much loved flower. He took care of every branch, every leaf and every petal, and watered me so that I was never thirsty again. Because he is living water. At the sound of his voice my soul flourished, and your soul can flourish too, my friend, my dear, my brother. DON'T GIVE UP, and God bless you a lot
@@lincoln12i Write a book lol. Take care man
such an inspiring story! Go on and never give up! I'm sure that you're going to be a great neurosurgeon and help children in the favelas by educating them! God bless you x

Darth Vader's redemption story is one of the most powerful in cinema history, most probably wouldnt have expected that out of a science fantasy trilogy, but the scene i saw as a child, when Luke is dying at the Emperor's hands and Vader stands there, silently looking on (unlike the remastered version where he screams "no!") trying to decide in his heart what to do, and finally, before he loses the last thing he loves (and that love HIM!) he grabs the emperor and chucks the bastard down the reactor shaft, dying as a result.
Gives me chills!
Reading this, it actually now makes me sad that they brought Palpatine back for episode 9. It diminishes the moment when Vader kills his master.
@@afterdeth Maybe,but the essence of this moment was,that he saved his son and left his master,no matter if he died or not
He made his choice. He betrayed his former master. He committed the ultimate act of treason.? But all excused because he saved his son.Damn, I wept so much during this scene the first time I saw it when he took the Emperor and threw him in the reactor.It's like he was redeemed totally, at last or on another level, that Humanity has hope to not destroy Love and the Earth (my personal interpretation, sorry, but so powerful).
afterdeth the sequels aren’t canon to me
symbols and patterns repeated for the simple minded since thousands of years
I can’t think of any story, fiction or other wise, save freaking Jesus, that shows unconditional love so beautifully. Just look at Luke and Padmé. They weren’t blind. They both saw and knew what Anakin had done. Somehow Anakin has achieved things that freaking Hitler could never amount up to. He wiped out an entire culture. A culture he grew up in, and had arrived to protect the galaxy. And he did in the name of hate. Yet Padmé and Luke still saw good in him. As much as I hate the dialogue of the prequels. Having Padmé‘s last words be “there’s still good in him” was a stroke of brilliance. It showed hat, even though he caused the death of both her and everything she believed in, she still loved him deeply. Which is beyond heart breaking. She died knowing that there is still hope for her true love
And Luke. Oh frick Luke. He spent his entire life wanting to to prove himself to a father he didn’t even know. Imagine the joy he felt when he found out his father was both a Jedi Knight and well beloved war hero of the clone wars.that his father was a freaking legend. He spent the next couple of years trying to be like his father and to become a Jedi Knight. But then he discovered the truth. Right from his fathers own mouth. And it shattered his entire perception of his father. He was convinced that his father was one of the greatest people to exist. And now he finds out that he was in fact the very man he sought to defeat. He considered Darth Vader to be the very epitome of evil and was the one to cause the death of his father. Imagine how devastating that was
Yet despite that. He still loved his father. He was able to see good in him despite the fact that Anakins own father figure couldn’t see anything. He made a decision to spare his life, because he felt true inconditional love. And I think that’s freaking awesome.
Ok
Well said
Jokes on you, Disney have now officially changed the plot to make Leia the chosen one but luke got it by mistake.
Mockthenerd 5 Nah man. Anakin is the chosen one. No one ever straight up says Rey is the chosen one. So I am sticking up with that canon.
just luke. Not padme.

A man who lost everything, and became the thing he swore to destroy.

@Amon Ra the same can be said of all religions. what is a man but a miserable pile of secrets!
Episodes 1-3 don't get a lot of love, but they are some of my favourites in the saga. Seeing Anakin's transformation from an innocent little boy, to the heartbreak he suffered, to the man he became was just so powerful. You can't help but feel bad for Anakin... despite how it all turned out!
and watching rogue one right after episode 3 and before A New Hope... oh God.
It is my personal opinion that if the story of the prequels and the clone wars etc had been done to its full potential over the course of 5 or so movies, they would have been the best films of all time
@@joshkirkby8103 so true prequels were two complex of a story to only have 3 films. I mean they only spent two movie on older anakin at least have three movies with adult anakin
i agree
Read a comment about Anakin on Reddit that tripped me up:
"He was a slave all his life
A slave on Tatooine
A slave to the Jedi Order
A slave to the Emperor
Really, he was only free once Luke took off the mask."
Oh... Oh no.
That's true.
Fuck.
Slave to Tatooine and the Emperor perhaps but not to the Jedi. He could leave if he wanted. Plus, he wasn't asked to do anything he wasn't willing to do.
"I'm not a slave, I'm a person! And my name is Anakin!"

If you want love the love's gotta come from you
Ie. Vader throwing sidious for luke,
Boom.
He turned to the dark then back to the light to save his son. He's a father like no other.
Anakin's pain, regret, and suffering were washed away by his tears when he gazed at his son's loving face as he passed. Only at that moment could his atrocities be put aside even if only for a few seconds. He was his father in life and war, but he was his dad in sacrifice and death. I hope to be so lucky at my end. Lucky in that I can see my son's love and especially forgiveness, at the end, even if only for a few seconds. Making peace with our regrets is so important. Please don't be a fool like me...if you still can, break free from regret. Thank you for this
That is so heartwarming, thank You.
"From my point of view the jedi are evil"
-Anakin Skywalker
Anakin was taken from his mother and forced to keep his marriage secret because the jedi never told young anakin about the rules of the jedi, I just feel bad for him
Hassan Syed dude all those quotes are darth Vader’s, the only anakin one is the last one. Also darth Vader is more machine than human those are badass quotes that show his unrelenting and destructive power. However, Hayden’s portrayal of anakin In the prequels is amazing for showing all that conflict within himself, the needing to escape his confines of suppression that the Jedi imposed on him which is why people “say he shows no emotion” but that’s because that’s what anakin was taught to do. Which is why in revenge of the with, he does a phenomenal job that I will never forget in displaying the hate, anger, and resentment in him. So no the prequels aren’t mediocre, they are the best in the franchise, if it weren’t for the prequels that set the way for technological advancement in cgi we wouldn’t have amazing movies now, the prequels also made way for a lot of other amazing lore.
Jeez calm down I didn't think I'd have two movie critics going mad over a comment, were all star wars fans here😂
People just like to argue lol.
I do agree Hayden was a weak performer, but Clone Wars gave me an Anakin that wasn't cringe so all is well.
You forget how the Jedi kicked Asokha out the order unfairly and how Anakin lost the one padowan he grew to love
Cpl. Vodkaa plenty more reasons. Like the part where obiwan didn’t finish off anakin because of the Jedi way
Girls : Boys dont have feelings.
Obi-wan : You were my brother anakin...
This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life.
“I HATE YOU!!!!!” 😥
I forgive you 😢

Amen...
Darth Vader has the deepest and most saturated roots of any villain in any film that I have ever seen in my entire life. I’m not even a die-hard fan of Star Wars, but I significantly respect this story and it will always be one of the greatest movie franchise of all time 🙌🙌
Star Wars is Anakin, and Anakin is Star Wars.
This is the way.
Okay that's art. The music fits perfectly in Anakins/Vader's story,
Parts of sadness, moments of suffering, hope, hard choices, feelings of having no redemption at all, and finally his redemption, waking up from the nightmare, so he could finally rest in peace

Anakin's story is a timeless tale that can be appreciated and understood by literally anyone who stops to think about it regardless of age, culture, gender, etc. This is because Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. As I listened to this symphony for the first time today, I welled up because it finally hit me like a ton of bricks. 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. But the beautiful thing about redemption stories like Anakin's (and I think his may be the best fictional portrayal of this), is that literally ANYONE can appreciate and relate to it - Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, etc.
yes it doesnt have to be about jesus. Everybody deserves peace of mind.
@@aristotelis1997, precisely. I may view Anakin's redemption through a Christian lens, but that doesn't make his story arc any less powerful for others. Honestly, this is why I couldn't accept the new Star Wars trilogy because it makes Anakin's story arc and redemption more or less inconsequential.
I'm giving you one big virtual thumbs up for sharing the gospel in this emotional and melancholy comment section
Funny.... you relate so much to a character.... then as you grow up your life experiences end up similar to his in many ways ... then its continuity is taken over by profiteers with no real love...
I hope God also forgives the Tusken Raiders who kidnapped Anakin's mother. I will pray for them, may Jesus be with them now.. and the force.
I actually never watched Star Wars, but this song and reading the comments has inspired me to start watching them tonight. This music is so sad, and beautiful at the same time. My 8 year old loves Star wars so he watches it while I do house work, and planning for the week. Kinda disappointed in my self for not actually taking the time to watch these with him, but this is going to be in the list for movie night. I even decorated his room, and was the theme for his birthday. I like classical music and saw one of his favorite characters as the title, I've been painting the house while listening to this, my son is thrilled that I love this music. Didn't know my son had such good taste, the story line sounds so deep. Can't wait till actually watch the movies.
And so did you watched? What did you think of it? What are your feelings?
Yes please keep us updated
@@souptime821 I did end up watching the movies with him, and I like them. Im actually glad I never watched them untill then because it was something new that I enjoyed with my son. Now 40 and just discovered my love for the Cure. My son still loves Star Wars and get excited about watching all the shows still.
I like how Anakin's children showed their father that there is still good in this world/universe, and there was good in him, the only thing he had to do was chose to be that which he needed to be. He had lived most of his life in hate, blinded by it and consumed by it. He feared death, and fought against it, instead of accepting it, and loving the moments that were truly special. He missed his children's childhood, killed his wife (even if he doesn't admit it, he knows.) She might have died in childbirth anyway, but I don't think he helped. He lost Obiwan as a father/mentor. In the end, his children still saw love, the only thing that can consume hate.
Sniveling sentiment words and tears not even fit to be shed, Begone with you!
The emotion in this symphony, so powerful, so meaningful. It tells the whole story without saying anything.
Not a symphony
*Not all heroes wear capes, some compose music like this*
Got the reference, nice man 👌
Spot on mate!!! This is utterly stunning magic.
But you can’t be sure he’s not wearing a cape while writing this...
“Is it possible to learn this power?”
Vader: Not all who wear capes are heroes
Белый рыцарь из за боли и страдания стал темным, но мудрость годов и понимание всей трагичности земной жизни, вернули его на прежней светлый путь
RIP Dave Prowse the real Darth Vader.
Hayden too is Anakin and Vader.
All Anakin wanted was happiness with Padme and his child. Anyone of us would do the same as he, which is to say anything, for the ones we love.
I'm not so sure. Anakin's fatal flaws were an excess of emotion coupled with the means of being highly suggestible, and thus manipulable by Palpatine; had he been able to master his emotions perhaps the Jedi council would/could have acted quite differently. But having children so alters the consciousness of a normal human that one might find in Anakin it caused an extreme excess of emotions, thus rendering wholly and completely open to control, which Palpatine did with gusto.
@@christophercorvus7691 Being honest he was a slave all his life only having his mother of course he would be emotionally unstable , and the jedi didn`t do jack to help him only telling him to deal with it.
Great horrors and basterdly deeds hide behind I would do anything for my children. The world you create is the world you leave to them. If that is the world you want them to live in then do what you must, but know that the world you helped create will do the same to them.
except the part where he kills a bunch of little children padawans.

kills His Master for trying to kill His Son
only to die...
Becomes Legend...
I can feel the pain in this. Anakins story is truly heart wrenching. I relate to him a lot, all he cared about was saving his loved ones. No words describe how incredible this song is.
From your rudimentery flawed use of phrase and words it is obvious that you have no clue.. whats so ever, about the fear anakin carried inside his heart for losing his mother , yet it is not her that is his quest, his quest is To save the republic from corrumption and in the end through the ways of the force to find a way to save his twin soul , yet if democracy must fail, and it shall.. then the only way.. for.. is the conquer the stars through martial law, but since it is an empire then all those of favourable qualities can serve the empire, it is not a lie told through the deception of modern days pillage and rape on democracy and civil rights in our modern society. Martial law is in effect.

These last 10 minutes…
Full of regret, full of missed years, but at the same time, full of hope and relief. Relief from the dark side, finally understanding how miserable a life could be, but how important to live this life as a true man.
Amazing👏🏼
You were my brother, Anakin
I loved you...
Dude...
you were the chosen one!
One of the saddest lines in the movie, when Obi Wan said that, it literally brought tears to my eyes.
@@pixiegirl1492 one of saddest moments even in movie history.
What is so tragic is that Anakin comes back for an instant and begs Obi-wan Kenobi to save him and is denied. Kenobi suffered terrible guilt for that. The "Help Me Master" line was edited out in the last cut.
The whole thing has been Anakin's story all along--never truly about Luke, about Leia, about Kylo, about Rey. It's about being so wrapped up in darkness and hate that you think there is no way out, and then the light still finds a way in and ultimately finds a way to bring you home.
Nice summary.
Joe, I agree. Really well said. A single candle...
Whoever did this masterpiece, you left ur soul in it and i will forever thank you my fella. Rip Anakin Skywalker may the force be with you, the one.
Anakins' story is as timeless as any well worded Greek tragedy.
I would literally give everything I have to see Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia together in a movie...
Well, that technically happened in Revenge of the Sith
Absolutely.
I’d give anything to see a Star Wars movie that actually made sense
I would love to see it as a dream in Kenobi. Kenobi dreams about what could have been let's say. A bit like what Yoda saw in Clone Wars. He saw Dooku, Qui-Gon and everyone together at the temple and there was no war.
@@woahwoah2207 Surprised they don't take the Marvel route with a What If? series to address things like this. Being its all under the Disney umbrella now :P
5:06 so you were just gonna slip in that Padme x Anakin love theme like we wouldn't notice and bawl our eyes out, weren't you? Amazing.
I noticed that too, absolutely astonishing.
This painting of Vador is probably the best representation of him i've ever seen, and damn this requiem brought me tears almost everytime. A masterpiece maestro, thank you, BRAVO.
This is a f**king masterpiece.
I'm going to fall asleep to this every night now.
My boyfriend likes background noise when we are falling asleep. Usually it's TV and the dialogue keeps me up. One night I convinced him to put this on for us to fall asleep to. After about 30 minutes I had to tell him to turn it off because it was "too powerful" and I couldn't sleep. I then spent the next 30 minutes telling him the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, and that's what I fell asleep to.
Last night i found this video on CZcams, i was having nightshift as a train operator and i lay in a bed far away from home, trying to sleep for the two hours i have the time.
In the end i listened two hours straight to this music and didnt sleep at all.
So yes, the music is "too powerfull", in a good way. ;-)
Randomly at 3 a.m.

"Our baby is a blessing"
Anakin Skywalker
His whole life was a tragedy from his mother dying in his arms to killing the women he loved
But in the end he couldn't watch the person he love die
Beautiful music to portray his whole life
A slave at birth
Anakin's last words to his son “You were right, Luke. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right…” finally at peace
The emperor was pure evil but never ruthless , it was Anakin's passion that turned him ruthless. something the emperor could never achieve
This body of work is a true masterpiece
Thank you!
You can really feel the pain and grievance and almost feel the loss as well. Just through the music
Personally i can actually feel the depression, regret, hate and his redemption through this
Anakin Skywalker, what a tragic history and imagine in every one of us slumbers one Anakin.
and one Darth Vader...
I listen to this every so often with my wife before we go to sleep, very relaxing and beautiful music.
we too )
Anikan was a boy, lost in mental illness no hope nobody to trust or go to. He had to hide his love with someone god damn it! Anikan was one of the most soft and nice hearted people before the emperor corrupted him. He was a slave to everyone, to Watto, to the Jedi, to the Empire until his son let his soul free. He was finally free from the torture and agony and slavery he has been threw his whole life. Truly Darth Vader was not a villan but a young mind used by others for there own gain. Anikan story is a story that's so different.
Did you seriously write this? It's beautiful. I simply can't get over how you create such amazing music and so regularly.
I think Lucas is a music composition machine .. with an error probability of 0%
I agree. It's mindboggeling
@@Daketnietweet
Luke uploads regularly. Look at his uploads, not the Music tab
Thank you very much, Luke! A lot of it is improvisation, like this one from 20:51 onwards is just one long improvisation, I just pressed record and messed around with various Star Wars themes.
@@LucasKingPiano To be able to improvise like that is a rare gift!
I can't stop listening to this. Every few days I come back to it. Can't put my finger on it, but something about hearing these iconic Star Wars tunes (death march, across the stars) played in this way, soft slow piano. It's sinister and beautiful. It perfectly captures the whole saga of Anakin's life and pain in a way that only music can. You have to watch 9 hours of film to feel the same emotions you get from the first 30 seconds of this.
Still listening to it??
What i love the most about this piece is the Imp Love theme. It sounds so childish, so innocent, just like Anakin was. It makes me think of a music box, a distant memory of a lost child, victim of something bigger than him despite all it's inner strenght. Truly Beautiful!
Darth Vader, The most incredibly awesome film villain of all times, no question asked. From begining to end os story is an epic tragedy rife with pain, joy, love, horror, regret, hatred, betrayal and then love again and finally, redemption. Of all the characters in all of the universes of Star Wars, no one comes close to this level of greatness. He lost everything, then found himself again, only to die a free man once more.
Anakin displayed a raw nature of emotion, leading him to a powerful connection with the force, his only mistake was as human as any of us can get...he just wanted to hold on, don't you? I mean whatever it may be don't you want it to last? Your life, your loved ones, the things you enjoy. This is a tragedy because he chose not to let go and that's what kept him suspended in his own world of suffering. Pain is inevitable because we don't want the good feelings to go away, and once they do the pain takes place, we can't stand the end, we fear it and dread it but the most groundbreaking realization we must face is that its what makes everything else so special. The fact that nothing you wish for/hold onto will be forever, true serenity is met when one can release those selfish tensions and allow what must happen to take place. This is what truly defeated Anakin.
OT and Prequel fan: "Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker?"
ST fan: "No, but I can tell you the story of how Rey saved the galaxy."
Immediately slaps ST fan
Extended universe fan: "Saved? She just killed her grandpa. Who was believed dead anyway. Also Palpi and Kylo were probably the only ones in position to reestablish law and order to the galaxy after the debacle with Star Killer Base. Now the most likely scenario is that planets will be rulled by violent gangs and scoundrels. The republic will most likely fall apart if it didn't already and pieces will be aquired by the Hutts. Therefore Rey falls into the usual SW trap where a character might believe that force powers as the only strength mean anything."
No, Rey is just a fucking Mary Sue who takes a name she doesn't deserve.
This comment and this thread remind me why I'm so sick of this fandom in recent years. Nothing but toxicity and disrespect for people who dare to like something that the hivemind deems bad.
