Get ready for some great music from Star Wars! What's your favorite soundtrack for Anakin?
Anakin’s dark deeds and the order 66 theme.
Anakin vs Obi wan for sure
Imperial attack is pretty cool
Do Handel please. I love you work 🙏
44 years is my vote. Imperial march is epic!
You can really hear Anakin’s descent into darkness.
His 1st theme is innocent and light hearted.
In his 2nd one, you can hear the doubts and the darker thoughts creeping in.
The 3rd one is him falling head first into the darkness and the hate and the anger.
The 4th is him kind of apathetic and fully embracing his dark self. Broken.
The 5th is him raging over his plan having been foiled by the rebels. The anger towards his “master” and als the disappointment at Luke not following him.
And the last one: He finally let’s go of all the hate & anger that he has been holding on to for over 20 years. And is finally at peace and able to return at his wife’s side.
did you just say the 2nd one you can hear doubts and darker thoughts creeping? its literally a love theme, its lighthearted, upbeat, innocent... at no point during it do you hear anything that could resemble doubt or dark thoughts, for doubt and dark thoughts the track "the tusken camp and the homestead" is the best for that
@@Dest66 have you even heard the whole thing? Its full of dark themes
@@Shackleoneil ofc i heard the whole thing, its not full of dark themes
@@Dest66 I mean... it is though. Most of the middle section is minor and dark
Your comment deserves millions of likes
The fact you can feel it get more dark, then light. Like poetry.
it rhymes!
It rhymes

I like poetry
@@Ash.The.Wolf. so do i
In my opinion, all actors that portrayed Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader did an amazing job in their own way.
"I'll try spinning. That's a good trick"... never forgive, never forget.
Yeah bro we know its your opinion
Why do people disagree with this? The actors did great, but if anyone is to blame, it’s the writers.
@@MrBirilo are you hating on a kid who literally just did everything George Lucas wanted him to do??
@@marquisdelafayette-xe1ht On both, yes I am.
Theres something about across the stars, it sounds so tragic and romantic at the same time.
Kind of like the Marion theme in indiana Jones. John Williams is 🐐
@@joshualovins4983 yes! Marion theme sounds abit like leia’s theme too 👍🏼
Yes! It’s such a beautiful song. I feel like there’s a pull between hope and despair that just fits anakin’s character so perfectly. It’s also the movie in which he experiences his first real love and first real grief.
Gotta remember that’s also when Anakin was courting Padme, something he wanted to do but knew he shouldn’t have done.
Listened to it on mushrooms and envisioned quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.
What every piece makes me think of:
I: Joy, Innocence
II: Love, Passion
III: Anger, Focus
IV: Mystery, Suspension
V: Evil, Commitment
VI: Sadness, Regret
In ep VI I'd add : redemption
@@retrohidalgo4024 In the story yes, but the song really prioritize the somber element, there are no single uplifting notes whatsoever, so it didn't really capture the "redemption" element that much.
At least in this cover version.
The second theme is emotional 😢
And then i hear the next one 😂 and my inner dark side rises😂😂no seriously it does
Even whith the colors getting darker
someone could assume anakin is also a classical composer after your recent uploads lmao
Maybe romantic.
The Skywalker Piano Concerto in A sus Minor is great
@@nikolatesla8372 Lol now here is Nikola Tesla
Hahha legend
You can also assume anakin is also a egg in the last one
I kinda always knew there was some light in Vader, before knowing much about Anakin. For example, while he was always indefinitely angered, it was not easy to tell. He never really “exploded” for a small reason like Kylo Ren. And when he’s fighting, he’s calm and precise (unless he’s fighting obi-wan). That makes him seem like more of a Jedi to me.
Yeah I feel like there were little hints of him being not fully dark even before return of the Jedi. Like how he doesn’t want to kill Luke and how he stops the Boba fett from shooting chewie
Darth Vader never exploded for small reasons because he was more methodical. Kylo Ren was a feeler. If you're familiar with MBTI, he's an INFP villain. I wish he wasn't because that's my personality type lol but if I were a villain, I'd be more like Wanda Maximoff in Multiverse of Madness (also an INFP villain)
@@victoriaanne6332yeah if he didn't care he would've let boba just shoot chewie
@@JHowOfficialbro, Anakin was also a feeler . It’s just kylo ren was more of a pansy
@@JHowOfficial I wouldn't say Anakin wasn't a feeler. If anything, he was probably more of a feeler than Kylo Ren. The matter is who was he feeling his emotions towards. Darth Vader was perpetually angry, but it never showed because the difference was who was he angry at. Vader was angry at two people, Himself, and Palpatine, but more so himself. He despised himself so greatly and utterly that there have been times that he's done things that would've been suicide for literally anyone else, but the man is too angry to die, so the dark side kept him alive. Vader hates himself because he was the man who killed Padme, the love of Anakin's life. It's also the reason he refuses to die, so he can continue to suffer as punishment. He let himself take the brunt of his anger, because it punished the man who killed Padme, instead of letting it punish an innocent computer console. The times he did lash out, were when incompetent officers caused massive amounts of unnecessary death. He still had his leadership side from when Anakin was a general, and gross incompetence was not something Vader would abide as a result. He didn't care about the individual soldiers like Anakin did, but he wouldn't suffer failure.

Young Anakin’s Theme from The Phantom Menace is So Peaceful!
It reminds me of sweet childhood
I love Anakin Skywalker
The older you get. The more easy it is to understand how complex it is to be in the dark of light side. It’s not that easy. It’s hard to explain. You just have to figure it out
I love Anakin.. ❤️
I love Star Wars...⚔️
Me too
It's interesting how the songs gradually progress from being musical and melodic to being very reigned-in and one tonal, as if the songs are reflecting the brutal supression of emotions as he gets older.
The Sith don't suppress emotions. It's the Jedi who do that. That's kind of a huge part of why Anakin drifted from them in the first place.
@@grabble7605 My mistake, i meant to say how he is suppressing his *happy* emotions and letting nothing through but hate. Also, coming to a more fascist mindset with ordered scales and melodies as compared to the flowing music of his youth.
It's his suit. He was missing his arms and instead he had robotic appendages that constrained his movement. He just set his fingers to a certain, robotic position and then used rhythm to move the composition forwards instead of melodic progressions he would use if he could move his fingers freely.
This is a actually quite fitting. The first one sounds innocent and hopeful
The second one chaotic and maybr even unsure
The third one angry, pushy and gives you these ,,I am the best" vibes
The second third one gives you unsure anger and sadness vibes
The fourth one sounds like a unknown danger is coming
The fifth one like a huge danger is coming
The sixth one feels like it's asking for forgiveness
Great work
This music so beautifully reveals the metaphor of how person loses his innocence throughout his life. Anakin was a bright child who wanted to save his mother and slaves, but then became a man who drowned the galaxy in pain.
To be fair the jedi never fully trusted him and he was already an emotional person as is so yeah I'd probably turn to the dark side too. The jedi were too arrogant that they let a sith lord run the senate and the republic for more than a decade and didn't realize it till it was too late 💀
@@galagize9233 No matter how strong, smart and fair the Jedi/politicians are, there is always a small probability of random factors (health, society, resources), because of which a person's life becomes very difficult (or even constant suffering).
This is not a reason to blame the people around you for all your problems.
Some of these poor people are able to understand and accept it, some are not and follow the path of evil.
@@benjamingrant3441 wise words spoken(I'm too high to respond)
@@galagize9233 you have the high ground?
@@benjamingrant3441 yes its over anakin high ground
I used to think the time frame in which the worlds changed from ep1 to ep4 was crazy. But considering how the world is now vs 30 years ago the change dosn't seem too drastic for me anymore.

I think 1980 is most memorable for me. John Williams is a great composer. Who cares if he's not considered classical. he has concertos and other works besides his film compositions if that's not your thing. He definitely deserves some form of attention in the composition world.
I think it’s the most memorable one for most people
I think 1980 and 2005 are the most famous ones
He is classical movie theme music.
Although I've already heard these musics hundreds of times each, there goes, goosebumps and tears again. Darth Vader is the best villain ever ans John Williams, the best composer in the world
I like Hayden and how he played Anakin.
Darth Vader's Death piano is just
👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
My personal favorite Star Wars character.
And the one I mostly relate to in Star Wars.
Because since he's diagnosed by both ADHD and BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), it makes sense why he's so anxious, desperate and eager to save and protect those he truly cares and loves with his very life from uncertain and unexpected deaths like his own mother Shmi and his secret wife Padme.
Talk about a cruel and unfair turn of future events.
I think he's (also) autistic
I see much of myself in Anakin. It's the one reason I'm terrified of going into politics.
Poor Anakin only became 45 years and was trapped in that armour for 23 years. There are some sad POV written moments in the Ep 3 and 6 novels when he awakes in the suit and realizes what he has become and later before he dies, he smells and hears things at last without the Helmet
Literally listening to the last theme, it smacked me in the face that he was only 45 years old. His master (and his Grandmaster) lived longer. Only 45 and he'd lived through so much, and experienced (and inflicted) so much pain and sorrow. It's just stunning to think of it like that.
Ah, yes, Anakin is by far, one of the best classical composers. 🤣🤣🤣
Scratch that, it's John Williams 😂
Hello there yes
Vaders Death is beautiful. It's a slower more somber version of the Imperial March
John Williams is such a talented composer
This vid took me through a full range of emotions
If you noticed, Anakin like half his life in the light side and half in the dark, therefore bringing balance to the force (22/22)
3:37 this makes me almost crying
“I wish I’d known him…”
“He was the best Starpilot in the Galaxy, and a cunning Warrior. And he was a Good Friend…”
Attack of the Clones for all its flaws did give us hands down the most beautiful theme in the Star Wars universe.
The colours and animations in this is great, like the little whisps in the final one, like his spirit leaving, real good
"I Believe you will bring balance to the Force, that you will face your demons and save the universe" - Qui-Gon Jinn
Well Done! But one thing keeps me thinking: Vader has been my Idol since I was about 10years old. He entered the saga with 9 and died at 45. I am 44 now!
I like how his second theme(wich is also their love song) and third show how anxious he is, how much doubt is growing inside him
Than Battle of Heroes kicks in, even tho it's a hype song it's sad, he has made his decision but he already regrets it a bit, he is just all rage at the momment
the notes you hear from Imperial March sound exatcly like a Funeral March already setting up the death of Ani
them there is the Vader's theme, unhinged, derranged, the sound of a monster creeping on a corner
than that version of Imperial March plays...a true Funeral March...he is finally calm, colected, he is finally free of his and the emperors chains
"You already have, Luke...you were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right."
We'll just pretend that whole thing with the Younglings didn't happen.
Star wars really does have good composers , the music is always splendid
I like how it goes from orange in the beginning for neutral/light from light and by episode V it’s red as if to signify he ‘s fully immerse into the dark side.
the music of Darth Vader's death gives me goosebumps
Ep 1: Anakin becomes a Jedi
Ep 2: Anakin gets his arm cut off
Ep 3: DARTH VADER
Ep 4: Death Star blows up
Ep 5: Anakin finds out Luke’s his son
Ep 6: Anakin dies
Ep 7-Ep 9: Anakin melted again
Excellent music! If I may add however, you were a year off on his age on all but Phantom Menace. It should read 9,20,23,42,45,46. I can understand the confusion some people have when in AOTC they say it has been 10 years. The film doesn't exactly say the exact number of months that had passed. Same thing with ROTS. the war had said to be going on 3 years, but really it was 3 and a half. His age absolutely matters when you look at when he turned to the darkside (23) and when he died (46) he spent half of his life on the light, and half on the dark. Balance.
That end was really sad tbh...
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
Well.... I am still waiting for Sith Symphony from my favourite composer - Darth Vader!
A fictional character's 36 yrs of journey
From being an poor slave kid on sandy planet to becoming the most feared being in the universe
.
The legacy that this character left in the minds of the audience with a mere 36 yrs of existence is a testament to its undisputed rank of the most iconic fictional character
.
General Anakin Skywalker or Lord Darth Vader
This video is perfect, a true master piece
wow, that's something you don't notice in the movies, at least ithe younger anakin and the 3rd one gave me CHILLS
I really love „Across the stars“. On one hand you have the complicated feelings of anger,
frustration and trying to understand; on the other you have Anakins love for Padme and the peace it brings him. A real contrast between the darker themed left hand and the lighter right hand
I hoped there would be the beautiful piece where Vader turns back into Anakin right in the middle of the piece, the music that plays when Emperor is trying to kill Luke, the music that beautifully portrays all that is happening inside Vader/Anakin
What a character creation - one of the most if not the most complex characters in fiction - from birth to light - to a fading light and slowly descending into darkness to finally rise to light again for once and all. Love to hear what other fictional characters have that much of depth in their stories/lives.
The ages make it so much more impactful. Its easy to forget that at 9 years old untrained, Anakin had a powerful connection to and unconscious use of the Force that gave him ability far beyond most humans (which should be considered when watching one of the ending scenes of Episode 8). By 19 he was already one of the most gifted duelists in the order. And by 22 he was nearing surpassing council members in his connection and ability. And he dies at a mere 45, one of the most powerful Force users to ever live dies so young.
Anakins Dark Deeds is a personal favorite for how it builds up the climax of order 66
You can really hear how Anakin turned dark, the first song was full of innocence, and the second was him falling in love but you can hear the sadness he held. The third was him head first into the darkness, the fourth was him showing his dark self, the fifth was him doubting his dark self, and the last one was him finally at peace with his wife in hand. I myself love darth vader btw and really love indiana jones too.
His music when he was 22 will always be a iconic Legend 😈💯 he was very skilled
John Williams the Master of all movie music and then some.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anakin é meu personagem favorito!!!
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 well done you really captured the essence and emotions of each stage of his life well done👏👏👏👌👌😎😎😎
Very tasteful!
To hear Darth Vader's death on this piano gave me chills.
Me too😳😰
Man when you think about anakin really did die young
Back when I was little, I thought each Episode was 10 Years later, so Episode 1 took place 50 Years before Episode 6 but I was So wrong! It turns out two bee 35 Years before Episode 6!
Dark, darker, yet darker.
Awesome
I’m loving this
The imperial march
Nice!
Dudeeee Across The Stars is so beautiful
I have to say that Anakin's Episode 1 theme sounds fitting on a piano.
Really cool
I just feel bad in the last one you can hear the imperial march playing in the background softly
This brings back so many memories of the prequels. Love it. Thumbs up from me.
You forgot the last part. The celebration theme at the end of ROTJ. Anakin’s life may have ended sad, but his sacrifice would go on to inspire better things…
(If you’re a true Expanded Universe fan that is)
That's the best music ever!I loved the anikan revenge of the sith
Simplesmente incrível.
Bro you are good
Darth vaders death theme makes me really sad
Same
MY FAVORITE
I think you forgot Anakin's betrayal theme
Definitely the most impressive ones in my opinion were the last 2 pieces showcasing the pride and mystery of the Empire
It so good!
I'm for some reason addicted to this video
1:37 imperial march
Nice video
Jeez anakin was a year younger than me when he turned into Darth Vader.
3:36
I can't explain, but there's something... sorrowfully dark, yet peaceful, about this last rendition of Imperial March. It's like when a veteran goes: "Welp, this is probably my final run. I'll give 'em something to remember me by"
Good job! One minor (no pun intended) observation is that the music you used for Episode IV is actually the Rebel Theme. Vader did have a theme in the original movie (according to John Williams’s liner notes on the original soundtrack album) but he rewrote it for Empire Strikes Back. His ANH Theme starts at 4:54 here: czcams.com/video/j1pf6s8MGrs/video.htmlsi=RUfmmjjR_XnXn_jk
Across the stars has to be the most beautiful. Skywalker.
Anakin's whole life is fighting.
So cool
I think for Revenge of the Sith, you should gave "Im sorry" to Anakin (or whatever that song was called)
The 3rd and 5th one 🔥🔥🔥
John Williams job is just miraculous
Маленьким он милашка😊
It's ironic how the first theme has keyboard keys colored like sand, even though Anakin hated sound in his later life!
darn tthe empire striikes back music is sooo good and valuuable
Makes me kinda want to play an oldschool JRPG about Star Wars
Across the stars好きだわ
Dang across the stars gave me chills
That 2005 version was awesome
Damn, a 9 year old wrote that?
Fr tho, i feel like i just went through anakins whole story and personal development. Ep. 3 having Anakins theme and Vaders theme fight for domanancy is beautiful
