At the end, Anakin's boss still walked over to him asked, "You can still come into work tomorrow, right?"
He didn’t even ask, he just shows up and says “you’re good, just need some work done but you’ll be ready tomorrow. No time off”
And you will stop skipping those acting classes too?
Yep❤❤❤❤❤
Bro I just lost my arms and legs….
Provide him with a safe space to cry to Palpatine n friends. lmao.
The emotion when Anakin yells “I hate you” is insane. I always felt that specific scene to be so powerful.
Lightsaber Fighting Styles-
Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad
Considered the most aggressive and unpredictable form and therefore the most controversial, it was a combat style with a history of the Jedi High Council forbidding it and later allowing only select users to practice the style.
The Juyo variant focused on aggressive assault and a mindset that drew upon anger and negative emotions to fuel relentless assault. This mindset caused many users to fall to the dark side of the Force or close to it.
Also how ironically how Darth Maul survived being cut in half - focusing on his hatred of obi wan
@YoungCub If I remember correctly, that's the same style that Mace Windu used as well.
In a movie that admittedly has quite a bit of poorly-delivered dialogue, that “I hate you” is kinda jarring. This whole scene where Anakin is burning is. They dont feel like they’re just reading off a script here like they do in a lot of the movie. Theres an actual sense of anger and hatred in Anakin, and an actual sense of sadness and regret in Obi Wan. They feel like real people here.
@@YoungCubWait.... it's been awhile since I've seen TPM but I don't remember Darth Maul surviving being cut in half!?
Sh*t on the prequels all you want, but that's some absolutely amazing choreography.
Nobody dares shit on the prequels anymore after what the sequels did. We respect the prequels 🙏
This movie is the ONE exception
They did do a pretty good job at showing the Jedi in their prime that's for sure 😅
@@shadowrose1859 especially for Live Action
The lightsaber choreography is gold compared to Disney.
"This is the end for you my master" is just chilling. Hayden's chilling stare alone but think what it must be like for Obi-Wan to hear these words coming from Anakin. The boy he essentially raised and taught everything he knows. The young man he sees as a brother telling him in no uncertain terms "I am going to kill you"
Heartbreaking
In the Star Wars novels (legends and canon) Obi Wan expresses a lot of grief over losing Anakin and it never fails to make me weep.
@@Lunafroyo I think this is the biggest part of the tragedy. These two brothers forced to fight until one is presumed dead. Until Obi-Wan learned about Vader, he probably thought Anakin was dead by his hand.
@@Lunafroyonever read the novel but did Obi Wan ever express feeling like a failure because of Anakin? Because as an older brother myself, that's the part that makes me cry.
Plus, since Obi Wan promised Qui Gon Jinn to look after Anakin after the latter's death, this makes this all the more heartbreaking as Obi Wan felt he failed Qui Gon.
He's definitely not processing it in the moment though. He sighs like damn is this stupid kid for real? But afterwards, yes, definitely.
Fun fact, dunno how many of you know but George Lucas planned to speed up the duel sequence but Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor practiced so much and so many times this duel that what you see is the actual speed no camera tricks no speed up in post prduction, it's incredible the best duel of all times
It took them a lot of work to make this scene effective.
Equal fun fact; they had to SLOW DOWN the Kenboi-Maul fight in Ep1 bc of how fast they were going, lol
Facts 💯
Please search into orthodoxy. orthodoxy is the first church. The body of Christ. We need the Body of Christ and Eucharist.❤☦️ (John 6:53-58) Jesus is the only way to heaven, just being a good person won’t get you there, while yes doing what God said is requiered. Search into orthodoxy afterwards but first read this. Before you read these next things i want you to know that christianity isn’t about worshiping some deity in the sky because you dont want to go to hell, it’s about a loving and friendly relationship with God. God loves us soooo much no one can understand it. God wants you to tell Him everything, because He is soooo loving. Altough He knows it all He wants you to trust Him and be honest with Him and listen to Him. So now that i told you this read these Bible verses (the word of God) knowing that i’m telling you this out of love and i want you to know it’s not too late to turn and repent and follow Christ❤️❤️❤️ „Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 ESV Bible Repent from your sin (disobedience to God) and turn to God and follow Him so that you WILL be saved. „If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 ESV „No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3 ESV „For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 ESV
@@Romantic1869 That is insane
Finally, the actual full fight with no cutoffs for no reason especially with the most iconic quotes
Anakins limbs: you blind bro or what
Would have liked it to start from when Padme was force though to get all of Anakin and Obi wans conversation
What about his limbs?
The fact these people don’t know what a cut off shows the level of intelligence your dealing with here.
@@Very-old-mansomething tells me there was a joke
NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT HIS EMOTIONAL "YOU'LL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME" like one of the *ONLY* reasons he turned. No talks about that.... 🥺😭😭😭
"I HATE YOU" Anakin fully giving in to the heart of a Sith. Hate and rage
"You were my brother Anakin. I loved You" Obi Wan breaking the Jedi rule. Don't form any attachments
Anakins love filled him with fear and pain and hate. Obi Wans blinded him and led to regret and loss
The fatal flaw of the Jedi was how they taught their own to deny their emotions and it led to their downfall
Damn i never thought of it like that
The Jedi are supposed to love unconditionally though.
But the thing is, it's impossible for anyone, even the Jedi, to live without emotional attachments. If you are sentient, you will form attachments. Yoda had an attachment to the Jedi and the Republic, for example.
@@vetarlittorf1807mace also had an attachment to the republic. He realized this in his duel with sidious
Watching this in the theater was the greatest cinematic experience of my life. I was blown away by the CGI, choreography, and the display of fighting skills of Ewan and Hayden. Everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting to find out how did Anakin become the masked Darth Vader. When Anakin’s legs got sliced off, the theater went dead quiet. We all had theories but no one saw that coming. And once Anakin burned, the crowd gasped in horror because it all came full-circle. Truly an experience of a lifetime and I’m truly grateful my Dad checked me out of school to take me there.
when i saw it the same thing happened and i swear to god we all cried when anakin burned 😢
Thanks for this comment
Haha your dad's awesome
Imagine the feeling obi won feels…having to do that to his someone he would have given anything for…Puts a knot in my throat
I never saw this In the theatre I was still a kid when this came out.
The tragedy of anakin skywalker is unprecedented
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
Figured not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell.
It’s pretty tragic.
The tragedy of Ben Solo is unprecedented too.
@@darthvader1775is possible to learn about this story ?
This is by far the best star wars lightsaber fight in history, no other fight tops this.
i mean, yeah in terms of lightsaber duels. but i think the best one is part VI
I have returned here after seeing the masterpiece that is the clone wars version
I did a side-by-side comparison of the clone wars version and this, absolute masterpiece
Bro same. Both are masterpieces.
@@meh.com.au1No. The clone wars one is cool. But this, this is masterpiece.
One day I’ll watch this scene without crying.
But not today.
That is the day we turn to the Dark Side and lose ourselves
The "You where my brother Anakin" line, I feel my throat tightening up every time.
@@5Demona5come on to the dark side and become a Sith Lord with us!
@@JamminJim19 I should, I already look the part
This scene makes me ugly cry every single time. It's the central tragedy at the heart of the entire saga.
As a kid I always thought the “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground!” line was pretty goofy since they never really mentioned anything about trying your best to gain the “high ground” and that it was strange that Obi-Wan was so certain of his victory because he was a few feet higher than Anakin. But if you look at what Anakin tried to do, you realize that he was trying to do to Kenobi what Kenobi had did to Darth Maul, the flip over him and slashing from behind. Being Kenobi’s apprentice, Anakin would’ve been fully cognizant of that technique because Kenobi would have certainly either taught him, or at the very least told him about what he did to defeat Maul. It also explains why Obi wan says “don’t try it” before Anakin lunges at him. He knew Anakin would’ve taken his advice on how to beat the guy who has the high ground, so he knew exactly what Anakin was going to do, hence why Anakin got absolutely trashed for trying such an obvious move that would leave him wide open. Anakin was so full of hubris thinking he was the most powerful force user to ever live and was convinced that his victory was a forgone conclusion, that he failed to realize that he was trying to use Kenobi’s own signature move on the guy that invented and taught him it, and not only that, but make it obvious to him that he’s going to do it.
U just blew my childhood out the box
Its also cleverly written as it doesn't just mean he has the high ground but that he has the moral high ground. In a sense, saying wrong cannot beat right.
Well said. Not only that, but just previously, Anakin tried the same move on Kenobi when bridging the gap to join him on the moving platform. He jumped over him. Obi barely missed Anakin’s legs and Anakin successfully managed to get onto the platform behind him.
This new gap was much wider to bridge, and had a terrain advantage of the high ground, which would make it harder for Anakin to clear Obi’s saber.
He should’ve used force lightning
@@friendlyenemy2314I highly doubt he knew how to do that at that point and I’m not sure if he ever did due to the suit
Hayden delivered that line as no other could. "I HATE YOU!!!" Filled with the vehemence, guilt, anger, remorse. It is not possible to recreate that delivery.
Nor Ewan with "You were my brother, Anakin... I loved you."
This scene makes me crack up every time. Anyone who shits on the trilogy can get fucked. Hayden and Ewan were masterful.
You can really see Anakin’s recklessness increasing as the fight goes on and his confidence for having Obi-Wan in the defensive for most of the fight cause him to get too comfortable with his mistakes
What Anakin forgets is that Obi-Wan’s fighting style is strategic in nature, and requires building a near impenetrable defense, whereas Anakin’s style is more tactical and power-based. So Obi-Wan just had to hold out long enough for Anakin to start making mistakes, find a spot that gave him a strategic advantage, then make one calculated strike to defeat his opponent. Yes, both were very powerful, but Anakin lacked Obi-Wan’s patience and discipline, which cost him the victory.
@@ryanspencerlauderdale687 in a cruel sense of irony anakin giving into the dark side and his anger is what truly made him lose
@@BitrateBillyWell said
@@ryanspencerlauderdale687one of my favorite thing about Kenobi is how disciplined and even keeled he is. Even though they been training and knowing each other since Anakin was a kid They know all each other moves. Anakin clearly still never learned his lesson.
That was the dark side corrupting Anakin's judgement, making him more careless and arrogant.
revenge of the Sith is the perfect tragedy and this is it's apex. There will never be a film that can break your heart like this again.
anakins death hit so hard, a favorable character seemingly is cut up and burned to death his master
by^
@@lukecodzyou clearly don’t know much about the movie and you’re trying to fit in because if you actually watched it you would know that this is just vaders backstory and anakin did not die this is how he became the famous and evil darth vader
@@yungxdrezbrother, anakin skywalker truly dies here. Anakin is going to take the split persona and truly become darth vader.
@@xbox360mic bro did you even read what he said lmao he said cut up and burned to DEATH by his master he clearly wasn’t talking personality wise
“ I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you” that part tho 😭
Yeah that short piece of dialogue just before the final confrontation was just peak cinema.
“I should’ve known the Jedi were plotting to take over!”
Anakin! Chancellor Palpatine is evil!
@@SBERTOL84 "FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE JEDI ARE EVIL!!"
From my point of view the Jedi are evil!
0:36 Obi-Wan Kenobi used The Force to make sure Padmé was still alive.
He used this technique on Luke Skywalker when the sand people Tuskan Raiders attacked Luke in Episode IV A New Hope.
I love the touch of Anakin’s eyes turning from his normal blue to Sith yellow at 7:46
Looking at this fight again, and watching how both of their styles impacted the battle, you can tell Obi-Wan was holding back because he still thought he can make Anakin sense into what he was doing, but when it became clear that Anakin wasn’t there anymore, he knew he had no choice, but to end it with him. Which led to be on chopping his legs and arm off. The sad thing is as Anakin was screaming Obi-Wan wanted to go help him, but he knew that there was no turning back at that point.
I don’t think obi wan was holding back they both were going all out and the whole time you see anakin leading the rythm of the duel obi wan was good but never as good as anakin cannon and Lucas has said
You could see a moment when Anakin catches on fire @ 8:30 he looks like his normal self, which makes Obiwan want to save him. But you can notice Obiwan quickly look away as if hes not trying to tie his feeling towards Anakin (now vader). And it cuts back to reality, Anakin is already charred and burned all of a sudden.
Obi wan wasn’t holding back at all, that’s just how form 3 works. defend until your opponent gives you the perfect opportunity to strike, not a moment before not a moment later. Vader was clearly much more powerful than obi wan at this point. holding back would’ve just got him killed…quickly lmfao. and ironically, anakin being so much stronger than obi wan was the entire reason for his demise. arrogance is the sith lord’s greatest weakness. if anyone was holding back in this duel, it was the very confused and conflicted young vader. He’s going against the man that practically raised him as his father figure. master Yoda already informed kenobi that the boy he trained was consumed by Darth Vader. no reason for him to hold back, he destroyed the jedi order and everything that his master stood for.
Obi-Wan only really going on the offensive when he figured Anakin would be caught off guard only to be proven wrong, like right after he jumps off the steam pipe
He was holding back because he didn’t kill him when he could have
1:31-1:35 is some of the coolest choreography from this fight. Nobody really talks about it, but seeing Obi-Wan spin a few times while blocking what looks like a Euro-step from Anakin just looks awesome. Man, we were fortunate to have Ewan and Hayden.
I really like that sequence also. It’s so impressive how fast they are moving and It looks like they’re running almost but they’re not and it isn’t sped up at all. These two have been absolutely wasted in the new shows, especially Hayden since from what I’ve seen in the BTS he was extremely dedicated and had a lot of cut fight scenes
Also the backwards spin at 1:41 is absolutely beautiful.
Only Hayden could pull that off without it looking silly
bro how the fuck are we going to get a good movie ever again.
@@mikakoivisto6504 get new people in charge at Lucas film. I thought Dave Faloni and Jon Faverau were the right guys but they don’t have the vision like George Lucas did. A completely new set of directors who know what they want to do can maybe bring Star Wars back to what it was 15 years ago
Nick Gillard too.
These two actors put endless effort into trying to make the best lightsaber dual in the franchise… and they succeeded.
No other lightsaber duel has come close to the beautiful choreography and cinematography of this fight.
The moment Anakin & Obi-Wan collide with the music and lava eruption behind them is one of the best parts of Star Wars to me. Every time I watch it, the entire fate of the galaxy flashes before my eyes. This is where the galaxy is, everything has fallen and become corrupted, and at the same time the galaxy’s two best defenders left in Kenobi and Yoda are trying to prevent the greatest evil and the fall of the greatest Jedi who ever lived. This movie is so epic and grand and the absolute best. Perfect Star Wars in every way. No lightsaber fight comes close. Going to Disney next week and when making my lightsaber I will choose the blue Kyber crystal and then go make sure I get all the colors, especially red to honor Anakin. Hayden Christensen is one of the best things about Star Wars and you can see in his portrayal that he truly was in a galaxy far far away.
This comment is so spot on! It really needs to be pinned!
The Empire brought peace to the galaxy.
That was a great read man cheers
Ahsoka vs darth maul is probably the next best fight after this one.
Believe me when I tell you that as a lifelong Star Wars fan there is no greater feeling than when you create you very own lightsaber. I did it last year shortly after turning 49 and there were grown men nearly reduced to tears in realization of what they’ve just experienced. It was wonderful.
The best lightsaber duel of all time. Duel of Fates is close but to me Obi v Ani (Vader) has everything it has and then more! The awesome fight choreography, that final boss fight setting, godly music, and the most important of all: the emotion. The first time I watched this, my 8 year old self was begging for them to stop fighting no matter how cool it looked. Even now I rewatch this movie and this duel and I still have the same feelings as I did then, begging for these brothers to stop fighting. That's why RotS will always be my favorite
Duel of the Fates is a close second though
Yo I agree to this statement its pretty sad that its dragged down by the bad greenscreen and jarring camera cuts
@@dudejuice5668Tbh the only problem i really saw was the absurd amount of cuts at the start.
Obi wan and qui gon vs darth maul was good but it had lots of choreography issues in the beginning part.
I actually like duel of the fates better. Simply because this fight is so choreographed that it honestly doesn’t look like they are trying to hit each other a lot of times
3:50 is the most heartbreaking part for me in this whole fight, ob1’s face
Nearly 20 years later and this fight scene still gives me chills and gets me fully enthralled in everything that is happening. THe characters, the emotion, the idea of what's to come in the rest of the galaxy. All of it. Definitely the best fight scene in all of Star Wars. Disney wishes they could make something so spectacular and memorable
This is hands down, the best scene in the entire franchise. When darkness has all but consumed the entire galaxy, one of the last brave fighters is forced to go up against his protege, who’s managed to surpass him in skill. A fight to secure the fate of the entire galaxy. It’s the landmark point for the entire franchise.
1000% agree.
@@all0utmetal735 100% agree.
At the end when they are on the last platform you can tell Anakin was about to kill obi wan by cutting off his legs if he didn't jump to the high ground. Crazy fight
And clone wars fills all the gaps truly a gift to watch
Bruh, cuz lost. Again. What skill did Anakin surpass Obi Won in? 😂😂😂😂
Anakin is literally 4-1 and even then, OBI won let him win on the Death Star. So it’s really 5-0 or something like that…
“Only a Sith deals in absolutes” is such a chilling line.
Such a perfect example of the Jedi code as an embodiment of Stoicism. Do not conclude rashly on any matter, but approach life with balance and equanimity.
It's also an absolute... lol!
The arrogant teachings of the Jedi defines this
That's literally an absolute. It's not a perfect example of stoicism, but hypocrisy. The antithesis of Stoic virtue.
@@KetsaKunta but by calling ‘stoic virtue’ thus, are you not also making it an absolute by your metric then? My friend, this is no simple matter what we are about to discuss, and I feel my comment hardly scraped the surface of what I really meant behind it.
I understand very well that the point of the Jedi code (call it that, or Stoicism, or Daoism, or just ‘wisdom’ as I call it) is not to make an absolute, the stoic truths in fact reveal themselves to us whether we like them or not. Being in tune with them is not the same as dealing in absolutes. This seems a complex notion that is almost ineffable, as it appears paradoxical, but the crux is this: that which is true is not necessarily an absolute. If you meditate, write and focus attentively in your day-to-day, you’ll find that these truths can be revealed without words, but with focused, lived experience. Our language, in this case, forces us to express what appear as absolutes when what we are actually living is balance and equanimity. This is hard to achieve, of course, but that is why the Jedi way is the harder of the two. The whole point of the Sith code is that is brings quick rewards for little experience, while the fruits of the Jedi way are only revealed with enough time spent practicing and assimilating the way of Everything (the ‘Tao’) into one’s being. This is where the Jedi become remarkably similar to Daoists. Isn’t it beautiful?
@@KetsaKuntabut by referring to ‘Stoic virtue’ thusly, are you not then making an absolute of your own by your metric? My friend, this is a very, very deep discussion and I feel that my initial comment hardly scraped the surface of what I really meant behind it. Allow me to elaborate…
The stoic truths reveal themselves whether we like it or not, and do so every day. Being in accordance with these truths is not the same as affirming an absolute, as many truths in and of themselves are paradoxical. Example: it is true that existence probes many paradoxes for us humans. This sentence may appear an absolute, but it only appears this way because of its linguistic limitations. The grammar forces a conclusion (‘it is true that’), when the sentence breathes equanimity, balance, Yin and Yang, etc. To go full-cycle, we have now just proven the sentence to be true by offering up one of existence’s paradoxes. In this way, language shows itself to be a limiting factor in the expression of truth, but the meaning between the lines has revealed the truth to us nonetheless.
The key to it all is being at peace with paradox. This is the ‘harmony’ that the Jedi code advocates for. Harmony is not a one-sided word, it is neutral to its core. It is the word for ‘Everythingness’, our word for the ‘Tao’.
That which is true is not necessarily always an absolute, for the Universe itself is non-absolute in many ways. We have encountered the limitation of language in the describing of truth, and it is clear to me that realisation of truth therefore must come from living with an attentive, firmly focused and patient mind, just as Lao Tzu, Epictetus, and many wise men to this day (most notably, Sadhguru in my opinion) advocate. It is not enough to want to seize truth verbally, in ‘thinking’, as this is always going to be futile. Instead, we must assimilate it into our ‘being’. This is actually the Jedi way, as it is the Stoic, Taoist, Yogic, and so on. I prefer to call it ‘wise’, as ‘isms’ are irksome and constrain our view.
When Obi Wan talks about "only a Sith deals in absolutes" with the sun in the background. Very cool.
If you watch closely Anakin tries multiple times throughout the fight the same move he did on Dooku. Probably he was convinced if he could end Dooku with that move then he can end any Jedi since Dooku is one of the best Lightsaber Duelists.
Never try the same move multiple times especially not against someone who knows what youre capable of.
Good catch!
I did not realize until now that a lot of Anakins blows were aimed at Obi Wans hands.
@@Pascal1607 Yep. I think this also underlines perfectly why Anakin lost that fight. Arrogance.
Probably the MOST IMPRESSIVE choreography ever put to film. Flawless.
No, Princess Bride takes that cake in my opinion.
Facts
I wouldn't say so. It's great, but most of the time you can tell they are aiming for the sword, not the kill.
@@azfaarrealm9426That's because a fight between Jedi is different. They use the Force to predict their opponent's next move. This is very clearly explained in ANH when Luke is training with a remote.
Another factor in this fight is also how familiar Anakin and Obi-Wan are with each other, which makes them even more predictable to each other.
@@vetarlittorf1807 But why are they attacking the air rather than the other person?
"You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith not join them! Bring balance to the Force not leave it in darkness!"
I can't help but cry every time I hear that, it's very sad...
Bring the balance on force ,he actually did that 😅
@@beddyutichatterjeeeAfter leaving it in darkness for how many years
@@elliec2943 a relatively short period compared to how long the light ruled the galaxy. As sad as it is, it was always Anakins destiny to fall to the dark side and redeem himself eventually. He fulfilled the prophecy, the Jedi simply interpreted the prophecy wrong.
I think what we saw of Anakin in the Ashoka series really empathises this. He lived in both light and dark, and is now in full control of both guarding the world between worlds.
He served his purpose by destroying both the jedi and sith at their zeniths
@@beddyutichatterjeee That's the ironic thing. By the Jedi's ideology, jedi are actually not against evil, they want evil and good to be in equal strength. So Anakin restoring the Sith before destroying both the Jedi and Sith is literally true to the Jedi prophecy.
This is one of, if not the best scene in media history. I don’t care about the dialogue or anything. Revenge of the Sith is a masterpiece.
Man imagine if George got to make HIS 7-9! Imagine how epic the lightsaber duels woulda been between darth maul,talon,luke and qira!! :0
"You were my brother Anakin" Everything about this statement, the betrayal, the grief, the anger. Its all so perfect and so heartbreaking
that was heart braking to see anakin turn and it may be the best fight i seen with a lightsaber its just pure gold
man compare this to what we have now and it's sad. This will forever be the best lightsaber fight
...and one of the best sword fighting scenes ever.
Watch the animated series. Clone wars, bad batch, and tales of the last jedi are awesome.
Funny how people hated this when it came out. I guarantee in 20 years from now the majority of people are going to look back on the Abrams/Johnson trilogy and say “compare this to what we have now and it’s sad”
@@Ooth9999 no one is going to say that. The sequel trilogy doesn't have the plot nor the world building that these prequel movies had. This film is like a Shakespearean tragedy, the sequel films are nothing like this.
@@kda3113 again…when the prequels came out, no one would have thought that decades later they would be considered classics.
The absolute peak of the Star Wars potential.
This is the greatest final fight/battle in movie history, the greatest scene of all time
The whole sequence from when Anakin screams "I hate you!!!" at Obi Wan and he says "You were my brother, Anakin... I loved you" and then Anakin catches fire....still makes me cry!
That and when Anakin punches Obi wan at 3:50. Obi wan looked so shocked and it was when he knew Anakin wasn’t trying to prove he’s better than him, he just wanted to kill him😢
The Immolation Scene
4:50 I love this part. The battle of the heroes theme has been developing throughout the entire fight until it reaches its final version with the choir and all the instruments. It is the moment where Anakin is truly lost. Obi Wan and Anakin are not just fighting each other at this point, they are fighting to survive the catastrophic failure of this facility. But Anakin doesn't care. He doesn't care that they might both die from the environment, he only cares about killing his former master. His rage clouds his mind completely. For anyone who thinks that this fight should have been shorter I will tell you the obvious. This fights tells a story which is just as important as showing the space battle at the end of a new hope.
To me the music always sounded like it was a lament, as if the loss of the Chosen One to the Dark Side was so powerful that the galaxy itself mourned, represented in song as he’s lost in real time.
Good point.
Bro yes. When Obi is climbing the beam anakin is right on his ass swiping. When they take cover from the lava, Anakin has to try a couple more swipes before taking cover. You can feel his rage and that all he kills about is killing his older bro. I fucken love this movie and the themes
The galaxy started shedding tears at this point. A type of a realization feeling of "this is really what all of this bullshit has come down to now, huh?"
I always found it ironic how obi wan tells anakin that he has the high ground, and not to try it. But darth maul also had the high ground in episode I, and obi wan tried it and killed darth maul. He knew that play all too well.

@@ulysses4989I wonder what happened to them
A neat little bit in the start is when Obi-Wan sees Anakin pacing, he starts circling him so he can get Anakin to keep a distance, allowing him to go check on Padme.
like cats
Bro this is the coldest scene ever. I remember watching this so many times when I was like 8 years old. One of my favorite movie scenes of all time
I like how they were moving so fast that they just started spinning their sabers at 2:32 then they almost held hands 😂😊
Swear this duel is better than anything Disney put out
Anakin's story is a tragedy...every time I watch I don't believe he is going to turn. Then you watch the events unfold that lead to his turn to the dark side, and you feel the confusion and sadness in him...slowly watching him becoming the betrayer. The dialogue between Anakin and Obi Wan is iconic, one quote that sticks out to me is, "your anger and your lust for power have already done that". Anakin believes the only way to save his love is to gain power at any cost, which leads to his betrayal of the Jedi, all at the cost to save Padma, but for the cost of his new powers he loses his lover forever...a true tragedy.
Even more gutwrenching...he wanted the rank of master in the jedi order to get access to the restricted section...to learn how to save padme...but was denied. The tradgedy of Darth Vader is a timeless, cinema master piece.
@@Chris-kl3zy I'm definitely gonna go cry now knowing this information
“Master skywalker there are to many of them” was the point of no return…
The saddest part is, he was obviously meant to turn evil
@@capitanaless1o493 that's the thing: this is all predetermined if you understand the chronology of the series. This could have been a story of someone who goes to the brink, but is brought back by the power of friendship and love; but, we know the fates of these characters already. The only thing left at this point in the story is to see the tragedy for what it is as it unfolds.
That line always breaks my heart “you were my brother Anakin I loved you”.
Just every once and while , I come back and watch this masterpiece...Literally the greatest lightsaber duel in history...I dont think anything SW related will ever top this...The emotion, the moves....The history that we know of these two from the extended lore and other shows...Ah, this is perfect...And then the clash at 3:50.....AHHHHHHHH Its so good!
Its so funny how when the prequels came out everyone hated them and wanted Lucas to stop but when the sequels came out everyone was like "the prequels weren't that bad" and "we want Lucas back."
I never disliked the Prequels. I still feel a little smug about it all.
The prequels are better than the overrated OT
Thank you for the whole fight, the best lightsaber duel they'll probably ever be 😢
Look what kind of "content" Disney is producing, there will never be another lightsaber fight even close to this, because it would require a lot of effort and absolute dedication.
@@homi1001 Plus, ever since TFA, they've been using heavy glow sticks for lightsabers, which are harder to maneuver than the carbon fiber rods they used in the prequels.
@@vetarlittorf1807yeah in the new movies it looks like the lightsabers are more heavy
@@Cat_enjoyer123 I also heard that they didn't want to hit each other.
I saw this with my sisters at the local drive-in its opening weekend in 2005.
When Obi-Wan & Anakin had that little dialogue, I thought to myself, "Oh boy, it's coming" & when the lightsabers ignited, I was like "This is it!"
This battle had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Incredible choreography & incredible intense music to boot.
5:43 the music at that part gives me an eargasm. Such a masterpiece that Williams composed
Battle of the Heroes
The sound design and sound fix are so iconic, like at 2:55 and 3:16, it adds so much flavor to the scene
I love how Obi wan makes two attempts to defeat Anakin without having to kill him himself because he still loves him. It’s shown at 4:12 and also at 5:10 where he saw the waterfall of lava and knew Anakin would follow him swinging out there and be too late when he came back around. But his massive power in the force enabled him to make a jump that no Jedi could make except him.
Seriously this jump was crazy
@@darkprinceofdorne yeahh especially if you rewatch it and notice the platform was already over the edge of the waterfall a good ways and he still was able to make it lol
Never noticed it but DAMN that was a huge range. Thats like up 10-15m and at least 20-30 sideways.
@@GundamReviver exactly lol and the jump would have to be high enough and long enough to get over it. That’s insane.
Honestly as a kid I never noticed how insane that jump Anakin did was. We are so used to seeing him do crazy shit that it was just another jump for me but if you really watch it it's just insane how he comes out of the flaming pile of death unscathed only to lose to the high ground 😂
I've seen this fight 5 or 6 times, and this is the first time that I noticed the 2 aliens quietly rowing on a raft in a river of lava.
They looked like workers
Ammateur
They had no idea what they were witnessing.
What’s the time stamp
@@anchorthesun3438 6:39
I love how they both know they’re going to try to kill each other-but also both know Anakin wants Obi Wan to check Padme, so they do a dance to allow that while escalating 🤪
Wait a minute, you’re alive!?
@@Ob1tuber You say that like you’re Palpatine finding Anakin and not sure whether to be glad or terrified.
@@tayzonday I didn’t think you’d be alive, as in still posting, most internet legends are either retired, or, unfortunately dead, or just don’t post
“This is the end of you my master” I feel that’s when Vader was truly taking over. The fire was his birth but that line to me feels like his birth
Ashoka is lucky she never saw this fight
Or participated
She was there in the corner watching the whole time. Don't you see her? Just like she was in a spaceship watching as Luke blew up the deathstar.
Ahsoka is On Mandalore at this point, if she's present while The Mustafar Incident happens
She will be heartbroken af seeing her two masters/friends battling each other to the death 😢
Especially Anakin, who's Ahsoka Admired the most and seeing Anakin fall to the darkside will make her heart even more hurt 😞
@@jupiterapollo4985lol she's always just five feet off camera.
Who?
Such a shame this is the last truly great live action lightsaber fight we’ve ever gotten…
Only if Lucasfilm continued to use Nick Gillard for the lightsaber fights.
@@SpFlash1523 It’s actually insane to me that they didn’t. The one almost universally beloved thing about these movies was his choreography.
The closest they got was Obi-Wan vs Vader fight from the Obi-Wan series.
@@Katakuna15 oof. Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. Much closer to me was Anakin vs Ahsoka. But it’s all subjective really.
Luke vs Vader in the empire strikes back wasnt too bad
7:50-9:00 The emotion in that conversation felt so raw and real.
I feel bad for whoever built that structure. Imagine them coming to do maintenance work, and finding the place completely destroyed.
The pinnacle of anything live action that has ever been released related to Star Wars. Poetic
6:23 hurts more than Kenobi cutting Anakin in half. Kenobi realizes Anakin is gone, he isn’t fighting his old student any longer, he’s fighting a monster.
That line hits. You can see it in generals eyes. He realizes his failure has led to the collapse of not only his comrades, but also his whole way of life.
When Anikan said “You will try” and started to fight is the best moment in cinematic history
In my opinion
Ironically, Anakin's move is exactly how Obi Wan killed Darth Maul 😅
At 8:52 is the part where it always hits me, I see the kind little boy from Tatooine that just wanted to free his mother and the other slaves, now he’s clawing at his brother from hell, he was manipulated into becoming a monster.
Despite being part of Gen Z, I grew up watching the original trilogy more often and so it felt more surreal when Anakin says "My new empire". Like everything the Republic fought for was over and now we were entering original trilogy territory, all the while Obi Wan and Padme cant stand what had happened
I got to say I like this version more than what's in the movie, without any cuts between fights.
It makes it more real.
The prequels had their issues, but i love that George Lucas had a very clear vision of the root cause for Anakin's downfall - fear of loss - which manifests in many forms throughout the events of the prequels.
It's almost as if George Lucas decided, if you dont believe Yoda was right about how something as simple as "fear" could lead to the dark side (which on the surface looks like a side solely built on brute strength and ruthlessness), then let me SHOW you.
I always have and always will truly believe that if Anakin/Vader wasn’t such a hot head (no pun intended) he would have won that fight. If he had fought strategically like Kenobi tried to teach him Vader would have had the dub. Kenobi was on his heels the entire fight unable to use his form (form 3) to full effect, just sat on straight defense until Vader got cocky and tried to do a triple backflip ollie double twist 720🤣🤣
Yuppp! So easy to see that obi wan is on the defensive the whole time. Had Anakin not gotten cocky he would have won. So sad.
OB1 was holding back. He was still trying to reason with Anakin. OB1 was in control the whole time
Vader was on a darkside planet. However he was new to the dark side and was not trained. So he was not on either side of the force. So Obi Wan would've won anyways even if they fought in the plains.
I mean, thats the entire point of this fight. Its the entire point that all the prequels led to lol. That Anakin was a slave to his emotions til the very end and it fully pushed him from being Anakin to being Vader. The dark side energy within Mustafar amplified this and his rage, hate, and arrogance consumed him.
He was failed by everyone but Obi-Wan and Padme. If he had had decent support surrounding him to allow him to heal and manage his emotions this would never had happened.
@@dentonperezsanchez Actually Obi Wan wasn't holding back here, he is fighting for his life here, and Anakin, The Fallen Chosen One Or Darth Vader here is more Powerfull than him at this situation, Obi Wan is just the master of Soresu that's why Obi Wan can beat him, especially Anakin/Vader is too cocky, Arrogant and blinded by Hatred Of The Darkside
If he wasn't Arrogant, Blinded by Hatred and Cocky he would destroyed Obi Wan
John Williams music really is amazing, makes this fight so much more epic.
They worked so hard to bring this to life, and I still love every moment of this. Disney is trash
7:46 I've seen this duel so many times and now just noticed Anakins eyes turn red when he first looks up after being cut down. Say what you will about Hayden but he is perfect as Anakin/Vader.
Not mercy killing Anakin and leaving him slowly burning to death was pretty cold when you think about it
He was pretty much already dead
Not the jedi way
He couldn’t bring himself to do it
in the novel, Obi wan claims something along the lines of "killing him would have been the merciful thing to do. I wasn't feeling merciful."
I don't remember what exactly the line or the context was but basically his choice to let anakin burn alive was a mixture between letting him go because he was too far lost, and also that he had lost any empathy for what Anakin Skywalker was (now Darth Vader.)
@@hobomike6935 I've heard tell of people saying it was because Obi-Wan could sense Palpatine on approach, knew he couldn't defeat him, and had to get himself and Padme out of there.
In the quote you shared, Obi-Wan talks about "not feeling merciful". Sort of makes it sound like he gave into some of his own dark impulses. Doesn't fit with my read of his character, but, it would be ironically fitting that this dark side moment would only cultivate more darkness.
6:55 , some face behind anakin's shoulder
Why is my heart racing, watching this?! I've seen this too many times to be surprised by anything!! It's just the fact of great storytelling, both visually and spiritually!!
2:37 This right here made my 7 year-old self know that this was going to be my favorite movie for the rest of my life. I remember being in theaters and my family and I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
It's the BEST film of the whole saga
'Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness'
He served his purpose by destroying both the jedi and sith at their zeniths.
Whoa… that’s a way of looking at it I never thought of
George Lucas said balance is brought to the force when the sith are eliminated.
When are people going to understand that balance is not measured in numbers? Balance is when there is harmony between the living Force and the cosmic Force. The dark side decays life, which prevents the cosmic Force from being fed, and the Sith are the reason why the dark side spread out of control, hence the Force conceived the Chosen One in response to the Sith becoming too powerful.
The Sith are a corruption. They try to bend the Force to their own will. There's already a balance of good and evil in the Galaxy. The Sith tip that scale drastically.
im sorry but without that absolutely stellar 'i hate you,' the recently released clone wars style edit just doesnt hit the same as the original
It really says something, that even after seeing this however many times I have, it’s still able to get such emotion out of me, most notably, extreme saddness, knowing how easily this situation could have been prevented.
The Best Lightsaber Duel In ALL Of Star Wars. This Isn't Just A Battle Against Former Master & Apprentice, It's A Battle Of Former Brothers. The Writing For Revenge Of The Sith Is Absolutely Beautiful. Seeing A Young Caring Boy On Tatooine, Turn Into A Galactic & Fearsome Sith Lord & Became It To Save The Person He Loved Most & Lost Her In The End & Is Seen As A Monster. It Makes You Shed A Tear Yk😥
The longest duel in cinema history. And the best IMO
A Duel of the Fates and The Battle of the heroes. Probably the two most pivotal points in Star Wars history accompanied by the best possible cinematic compositions, and the soundtrack in both omg.
I love how dynamic this fights staging is, like they have the cramped hallway where sparks go flying as they hit the walls leading to a more open room, their fighting causes the shield outside to go down leading to the bridge melting. The environment constantly changes and they keep having to adapt while fighting each other, it just constantly keeps you hooked. So well done
A lot of people love to criticize the dialogue in this fight (“only a sith deals in absolutes” being an absolute itself, “from my point of view the Jedi are evil,” etc.) but upon closer inspection it actually serves an overarching theme of the prequels really well: we live in a world where everything has to be right and wrong, black and white, with no room for nuance or any sort of gray area, and it’s largely because of how people refuse to get out of the rut that history has left the political world in. Anakin turned on the Jedi because of how dogmatic they’d become, but what exactly he turned TO was just as, if not more, dogmatic. He literally relishes in his forthcoming “new EMPIRE” while fully believing that it’s the solution to the Jedi’s problems of being too strict in the agendas they push. Both Anakin and Obi-Wan think they’re right and the other person is in the wrong, but one big lesson of the prequels is that it’s never that simple. Both the Jedi and the Sith are very wrong at this point in time, in that, much like with the real world, instead of coming together to find solidarity in one another and work towards viable solutions to the galaxy’s problems, they fight for what they believe is right and tear down and chastise anything else as sacrilege. So while yes, some of this dialogue sounds pretty dumb at a surface level, the amount of hypocrisy it conveys on the part of both the Jedi and the Sith is pure brilliance. Thank you for coming to my overlong comment I love swooshy shooty space movies
And thank you for writing this beautiful analysis
this is a good analysis imho. On a surface level yeah it's "good guy vs bad guy" in a simple sense but if you take a step back it's actually two characters the writers made you like, totally lost to their own dogmas acting like dickheads trying to kill eachother.
🤔🤯
Both Jedi and Sith are not absolute good and evil as they say. They are all just grey and are unwilling to live among each other
It's funny because a political scientist had said something to that effect that Star wars essentially ruined politics because it made it good versus evil
Obi Wan's Soresu Defensive Saber Style so Masterful, notice how he always has ample room to move backwards bc he knows Anakin's aggressive stylr calls for that defense
It was masterful but in the novels it said he was getting overwhelmed and tired of anakins aggressive strength, speed and power, so he had to thinknof another way which was using anakins emotions not in a dual
Each of these two fighting styles, or lightsaber forms, portrays perfectly in this duel. Obi Wan with resilient defence, and Anakin with ferocious attack. Towards the end of the duel, Anakin’s strike was a bit slower and heavier, marking his drainage on stamina since his form was so physically demanding.
As an anakin fan this still kinda hurts too see, but respect to obi wan, he didn't deserve everything that happened in episode 3
"Maybe i treated you too harshly" everyone after watcing episodes 7, 8 and 9
Too little, too late, cause now we'll never get the full potential of the Star Wars George Lucas had in mind
I don't care what the media says I enjoy the sequels.
@@who-ny5oe sequels sucks
@@cosmictitan2166 he sold it, it’s his fault.
With all the memes and laughs i forgot how dramatic, sad and brutal this part of the movie actually is
This fight and the music are so damn amazing. I remember first watching this in Theaters and I was just laser focused..
Definitely the best lightsaber duel in Star Wars
I remember watching it in the theater back in 05 and it was intense.
It proves that Vader was more powerful without the mechanical suit.
@@INDLISnah vader became more powerful then this anakin which is pretty scary
@@Kinyrno, anakin would destroy Vader lol. And full potential anakin is the strongest character in Star Wars he’s basically a force god. This anakin would destroy Vader with ease
@@drain_ator Vader did become more powerful then Anakin but force ghost Anakin became more powerful then both of them.
Full potential Anakin beats full potential Vader
I was born in 1983... I seriously didn't have a favourite Star Wars character when I was growing up... Then the prequels came along and Obi-Wan quickly became, and remains, my favourite Star Wars character. This entire fight is another example as to why he is.
Prequels are so important, how can people hate them
Ep 1 mostly talk about politics
Ep 2 romance but the only good part is geonosis battle
Ep 3 had everything and perfect movie
@@rjohn00 star wars is not just battles for me
This is a masterpiece, one of the best fights ever
at 0:14, this just gives me THE goosebumps. Such a beautiful line and Ewan said it really well. Like how a jedi master would teach his apprentice who fell to the dark side. Filled with wisdom and pain.
Pure skill and hard work on display! I love Ewan and Hayden so much! Brilliant actors
