Reacting to Anakin's Power Level Reveal in Revenge of the Sith Bonus DVD

- Hey and welcome back to Star Wars Theory, today we're going to cover this special part of The Revenge of the Sith bonus DVD that covers the stunts and BTS with George Lucas, Nick Gillard, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L Jackson, Ian McDiarmid and more.
Something I found very fun to discuss here was the snippet regarding Anakin's power level at the end of the film. Back in the 80's, George Lucas (reference The Making of Return of the Jedi/ESB/ANH books) mentioned how Luke was a level 2, Vader a 4, Obi-Wan a 6 and the Emperor an 8 (or something like that) in terms of power. So I feel that now we can a little insight on what Anakin's level would be on that scale that George Lucas made up. At the very least, it's pretty fun to discuss.

I never thought Hayden was a bad Anakin or Vader. He was the reason Anakin is my favorite Jedi of all time. I’m so happy he’s returning!
Yeah he got way too much hate it was the dialogue that wasn’t great his performance wasn’t bad
@@merve7389 Kenobi series
@@aamirrazak3467 him and Jake Lloyd both.
Agreed,
@@Shadowkey392 yup was sad what happened to jake
Hearing anything about Hayden and anakin just makes me feel more excited for kenobi with Hayden as Vader
Same
@@bmanultimategaming18 yeah can’t wait to see him and Ewan again on screen hoping the show is good
@Darth Nutsack I’d be ok with a clone wars flashback or like “dark side cave vision” with him but I don’t want him and Obi wan fighting in the flesh that would break continuity
Obi wan is probably going to go on a similar quest like yoda did in clone wars. He will probably have another confrontation with Vader but it will be in his own mind as confronting his demons.
@@KABZProductions that sounds pretty great
I am so ready for Hayden's comeback
This is where the fun begins!!!
Padme is ready for Hayden's come!
Hayden did such a great job in the role of the emotional and most powerful young man in history.
His wife said the same thing...
@@darthzounds4889 holy fuck
We do know that his powers have doubled since the last time he’s met count.
😂 right
Twice the sand, double the high ground
I sense great fear in you Skywalker that line was cut also just because there are two of you do not assume you have the advantage that line was also cut but is shown in the video game in the scene
And that the count had been looking forward to it
@C man Man I wonder if any characters in the films can be considered 10s. Maybe Yoda Sidious and mace
Dooku: “Darth Sidious what does the force say about Anakins power level?”
Emperor: “ITS OVER 9000!!!!! gooooooooood”
I wanted to make that joke. (T-T) But you did it first.
sad comment
@@DARTHFRAMEDROP-cx5rh So?
@@Orbitalbomb sad? It’s funny. Seriously what are you talking about man?
I was about to say that
Happy late Birthday Hayden Christensen for turning 40 years old.🎉 🎂 His birthday is April 19.
I refuse to believe that he is 40!
@@potatodonut8185 ikr
That just makes me more upset because we had so much time for Hayden to star in great movies, however the toxic fanbase ruined it for him and us true fans. So glad he’s coming back though!
@@potatodonut8185 idk if you know but Ewan is 50 i refuse to believe this
Then on May 19th Episode III was released
"The older actors - Christopher Lee, and Ian, and... YODA - it's more difficult for them to do the highly physical types of work. So you use a combination of stuntmen..."
When 900 years old you reach, do your own stunts you will not!
I’m still not completely convinced that they didn’t FORCE Christopher Lee to have a double or use CGI just so that he wouldn’t make the so-called “professionals” look bad.. that man was a genuine bad ass!! It’s a probable theory that the Tunguska event was a result of Christopher Lee and Chuck Norris having a sparing match...
Making Anakin a 9 and putting him up there with Yoda and the Emperor at that point in the story makes sense. And having Obiwan be at a lower level definitely makes sense even at a narrative level to heighten the tension, but also because we know obiwan isn’t as good as Yoda or the Emperor.
I think Anakin had surpassed Obiwan back in Ep2 but Nick Gillard was right in saying Anakin had maybe progressed too fast to have truly mastered all of his power.
And given his stronger connection to the force it would shorten his learning curve so that also makes sense
Also the part on moving from an 8 to a 9 requiring the dark side I think he is referring specifically to Anakin development. Anakin using the power increase from the dark side to get closer to his potential but at the cost of the experience/self mastery. Which becomes his downfall in his duel against Kenobi.
seeing the behind the scenes footage of ROTS just makes me even more excited to see Ewan and Hayden in the Obi Wan series
Maul will also be in the series
@@detestor420 Wait really? was it teased or theorized?
HE IS THE F******* CHOSEN ONE! Show some respect. If he was fully trained, he would have been god like. Scared the Jedi to death. Literally. Can you imagine if Palps found Anakin earlier?
@I M A dipshit person like Anakin (killing children, betraying companions, choking his own wife etc.) deserved way worse actually
@C man Man and other sith lords got what they deserved. Dead and forgotten.
@@lolmortuary6658 , That's rude, calling a slave turned jedi turned sith, then redeemed character named Anakin a dipshit. He was afraid to lose everyone he cared about. The jedi lost their way. Qui Gon knew that. The jedi never helped Anakin with his issues. Palpatine was the guy Anakin trusted. Palpatine took advantage of his fear, and Anakin followed to the dark side, only for one reason- to save Padme.
@C man Man , Yes, I think that he shouldn't have done that, he should have hid them somewhere, but the writers made him do that. And stop disrespecting Anakin.
@@kevinskywalker5539 was choking her out of anger also a part of his plan to save Padme? At that point Vader was just hungry for more power, he wanted to overthrow Sidious and rule the galaxy himself, he offered the same thing to Luke. I may respect Vader's power, but Anakin's personality has nothing to be respected
I really hope Hayden’s career gets brought back by this and people watch his future projects to make up for how he was treated after the prequels.
He left Hollywood, not the other way around. I don't blame him.
Be honest, Hayden needs to take some responsibility for how poorly his portrayal of Anakin turned out. The whiny stuff was just dreadful.
@@blahzay_ That was honestly bad direction
Yes if Hayden was being whiny, George could’ve said do it over, but that’s what George wanted.
@C man Man shhhhhh, adults talking. 🤫
“This is getting out of hand...now there are two of them!” 12:35
16:20 freakin epic. hayden played anakin so well. the anger, the bitterness, all that resentment and betrayal inside that had just been building, all coming out.
the entire cast of the prequels honestly all did an incredible job. **** and i dont say this in comparison to the sequels (i refuse to watch them) i say this as even my own perspective on the prequels has matured. and not that i ever disliked them, i always loved the prequels (except jar jar) i still think the prequels do not get enough credit for their brilliance even today.
‘’First, let’s not make this messy in front of the chancellor’’😂😂😂. I’m dead.
That's almost a hilarious as hearing David Price's voice in Darth Vader's costume in episode 4
“Kill him Anakin! KILL HIM!!!!!!”
I cannot wait to see Hayden as Anakin/Vader again. Seeing him on the big screen is gonna make me feel like a little boy again. Kid me was obsessed with prequel Anakin so this means a lot.
I think the power levels are great, especially for reference. Though, I think we often forget that being the strongest or the most skilled doesn't guarantee victory in a fight. It just increases the likelihood.
Every time i watch prequel stuff, I’m reminded of how good we had it, and didn’t know it. And what a raw deal Hayden and George got. Hayden REALLY cared about what he was doing. That’s just not something we see now.
Very true. Though the dialogue sucked big time as was the overuse of cgi. Mandalorian is what the prequels should've been like.
They care about what they were doing in ST. They were ruining the legacy of SW, they knew they were doing it, and they were proud that they were
Hayden and ewan are so goodlooking. They haven't aged at all it's amazing. Can't wait for Kenobi show
I mean the look good for their age but they’ve aged at least a good 5 years since 2003-2004
It's hilarious though. Ewan now actually is starting to look like Sir Alec Guinness did in the OT.
@@Kjf365 not even close Ewan looks 30 years younger than Alec
@@Momy69420 Well I don't know if they've used a filter or what but r/prequelmemes is going nuts over that fact, look it up if you want.
@@Kjf365 i am on r/prequel memes Ewan looks similar but is far younger
Anakin is truly coming back like a Phoenix. Our fellow Anakin fans will be pleased to see him
Kenobi, Mortal Kombat, and blade. It's like I'm growing up all over again.
This is where the fun begins!!
wait wait wait.
Blade? As in VAMPIRE Blade!?
Yeah what about Blade???
@@neuquanmcmillian6917 they’re doing a whole new blade movie in the mcu. no wesley snipes though sadly
To bad mortal kombat sucked
Blast from the past, reminds me of the 2005-11 era where I’d watch it over and over again.
star wars and lord of the rings dvds were my absolute favorites
i keep rewatching revenge of the sith because of the clones. perfection
@C man Man That’s the best part. Except for the fact that they are under control of their inhibitor chips
@C man Man it’s not weird. It controls their aggression. And they HAVE to listen to Palpatine. He is their supreme commander, no matter what. They ultimately serve the republic.
This behind the scene stuff is great. I used to watch that all the time just like you lol. You can really feel the love and the passion of everyone that worked on these movies.
I am so glad you are making this series, I am loving it. The tragedy of Anakin/Vader's life really does me in and I am appreciating the opportunity to understand it better. I adore Hayden in the role.
Really glad that Theory is continuing this series. I really wanted to see more of the behind the scenes of our favorite Star Wars movies.
remember what yoda said to luke on degobah when he was asked is the dark side stronger ?
"No, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive"
Exactly.
If we go on that Scale, Obi Wan was probably a 4 in TPM, maybe a 5 by the end. He was a 6 or 7 by AOTC, and a solid 8 by ROTS, that is 1-2 levels in 10 years, and another 1-2 in the three years of the war.
Anakin was already a 2 in terms of power in TPM, and jumped to a 5 in ATOC, and then almost 'Doubled' in the span of three years at 7-8 (I think he was 8 when he defetead Dooku, like Theory said) and jumped to 9 when he became Vader. That is another level just within a few months.
@@HockeyRiveNord do you think luke ever became a 10 in legends?
@@HockeyRiveNord a 8 ur trippin
@@diskritis2076 yeha when he became the loving force
@@diskritis2076 he 100% did, he was the most powerful person by a large margin. Second maybe only to revived Sidious and abeloth.
Ian Mcdiarmid right at the end, I felt electricity in my spine!
I remember randomly sticking the DVD in my og Xbox as a kid and being extremely surprised to see the Star Wars battlefront 2 demo start loading.
I would love to see another Star Wars movies from George, in my life time. Maybe we will get it someday.
That would be sweet
He's a great world builder...and that's about it. His dialogue is infamously bad (Harrison Ford said as much) and his direction isn't much better.
He's the type who needs someone around who can say "Hey George, this is bad."
@@mitsukitai2713 great world builder and an even better storyteller. Yes his dialogue and direction is a bit choppy, but you can’t look at the overarching story of the originals and the prequels and say it’s bad; the overarching story is magnificent. The whole rise of Palpatine, the Jedi’s army turning on them, Vader fulfilling the prophecy, etc. I would love to see at least one more Star Wars story made my George Lucas
I wish they would bring Nick Gillard back for the Kenobi series!
Yeah he did awesome w the fights in the prequels
Oh boy you couldn’t of been more right
These were so amazing as a kid how they made the props all of it even how grevious came into mind and his design 🙃
I remember having the bonus dvd for Revenge of The Sith & it was sick to the core, this video brought so much nostalgia to me thanx Theory
6:02 whoa that jump and eject from the wall was awesome and cool af!
when he is talking about the levels he is talking about their saber skills, obi is a level 8 and anakin is a level 9 with the darkside fueling him. He is not talking about force ability in this instance
Either way Anakin is way more powerful in the force. At least at his full potential.
@C man Man
It's not false information.
I read about the lightsaber skill levels before Revenge of the Sith was released.
It said that Anakin was level 9 and Obi-Wan was level 8.
It's old information.
The behind the scenes adds a lot of beauty to the movies in my opinion.
Love ur stuff man. Don’t ever stop. It so relaxing and interesting to listen to your content. This video in particular listening to your commentary I agree with it. May the Force be with you.
Oh jesus that DVD menu, oh God take me back to the 2000s
How did you not laugh when he said they needed a stunt double for yoda 😂😂
Anakin was a level 9 along with sidious and yoda. Mace was a level 8. I believe Nick Gillard said Anakin was on the higher end of level 9 as a lightsaber duellist.
Wouldn’t Mace also be a 9 tho? He beat Sidious because of vapaad but still, Mace is always shown being at a level higher than that of Obi (imo) and if Obi is an 8 mace is for sure a 9.
@@sockglock Mace and Dooku were '8 bordering on 9', apparently.
@@sockglock nah assaji ventress came In a hair breadth of defeating windu
@@sockglock and even dooku is above obi wan but still same tiers
@@Count.Saruman did nick gillard say this somewhere?
I am so happy you keep doing these prequel behind the scenes/bonus footage vids. please keep em comin!!
I think it’s really great that your putting these on CZcams for everyone to see 😁👍 I like them a lot
I always love to see these behind the scenes videos. I love to see the actors and the behind the scenes crew interact with one another and have fun on set doing what they love. I also love to see how involved Australia was with the creation of the prequels. yeah AUSTRALIA, REPRESENT!!!
The fight scenes in III were epic and the best SW has done so far.
never stop these bro!!! thank you from the bottom of my heart
These are so dope man, love the behind the scenes videos. Have a good one bro.
I binge watched these when they came out when I was 16. I was also at the midnight showing in Denver, Colorado in a blue bath robe and my Master Replicas Anakin lightsaber. Those were some great times!
Damn you had the master replicas saber that’s amazing! I’m jelly
“My powers have doubled since the last time we met count”
"good, twice the pride, double the fall"
level 4 in ep 2 (remember this was before the whole clone wars), level 8 against the count then after that he went onto 9
he became so much more powerful as vader than if he would have as anakin.. strife and constant failure is what makes vader so powerful. he learned true discipline and his will became unbreakable.
@C man Man his connection with the force was only temporarily hampered. anakin got dismembered by a far weaker obi wan. vader defeated the most powerful sith to ever exist in 10 seconds.
@C man Man vader was in a mechanized death trap. with a power switch to his suit staring at every enemy he slew
I'm so glad you're doing bonus DVD content again. Thank you
Always loved these kinds of vids really shows the thought and hard work George and everyone else put while making the movies 🙏🏽
My favorite quote, older actors like Ian and Christopher and Yoda.
I always love seeing the Walmart brand characters make cameos in these.
Rude.
🙄😒😒😒
@@kevinskywalker5539 hush
Glad to see you starting this up again. I have def. been looking forward to it.
This is how I got into the behind the scenes works of films in general is by watching all these special features a lot of people don't do that and some of my friends think I'm crazy even some of my family thinks I'm crazy for doing that but that's a visual representation as George George puts it to where it gives me an idea of how everything works and it makes me more fascinating anymore appreciative and I love the film even more episode 3 and it's just features just floored and captivated me and I washed it and do watch it over and over and over and over and over again even the within a minute compilation talking about the final battle which is phenomenally done and it's just perfect representation of how I see Star Wars and how I see filmmaking in Star Wars and how I see Star Wars the fan and now is he Star Wars in general this is perfection at least a represent if perfect
When anakin went from an 8 to a 9 way to fast, it’s like rushing your town hall in clash of clans
@C man Man what
Hearing the whole power level thing makes me chuckle cause it takes me back to when Freddie Prinze Jr. went on that rant. Talking about “there’s no levels in Star Wars!”
he knows nothing
@@gunjantripathi3340 exactly my point lol
@@craskpillord Freddie's opinion is just that, however these numbers only correspond with the original legends timeline. The current lore has changed things somewhat and the Lucasfilm staff have also said that certain fights will be determined by the needs of the story, rather than just raw stats.
@@thewarner2139 I’m not necessarily talking about the validity of the numbers presented. It’s just in that video Freddie’s attitude came off so asshole-ish since he was basically acting all confused as if there was never a precedent for this. When In fact there was, that’s all I was pointing out.
Thank you for still doing this! I love this behind scene and also your commentary. Please continue!
Hayden was my favorite actor when i was a kid along with tobey.
Genaral Theory always love going over these little rare thing's call DVD's lol I remember watching these as well Thanks man for covering this stuff again
Love these kinds of videos!! Hey Theory can you go through the ROTS deleted scenes next?
Im so happy you are doing these again, i love em
Love the come back of these videos man ❤️
That one dislike is a sequels lover
This comment is a sequel hater seven and eight are perfect Rogue one and solo as well stop trolling people!
the sequels aren't that bad, in time people will learn to love them as we did the prequels
@@SB992REBORN rogue one and solo are prequels buddy
@@Elijah_Keefe never said they were but you're still a hater
@@SB992REBORN okay. Didn't say anything about hating, u just assumed cause I said a sequel lover disliked the video.
seeing the stuntmen dressed like obi and anakin was like some weird fever dream or alternate universe star wars
I have been waiting for you to continue this series!!!!
Same, I spent so much time watching and rewatching these bonus features! Good stuff!
Super video! And finally please make lightsaber duels ranked list! :)
Jedi can get to the same level as sith, it's just that the sith (darkside) is quicker.
But with the quickness of getting there there's arrogance and a feeling of invulnerability (from the power) which ironically can lead to mistakes that "lower power" Jedi can take advantage of.
Just my take
love it, glad ya back doing these :)
Love your videos man, keep up the good content!
"I'm more powerful then the chancellor I- I can over throw him"
Yes I included the stutter
I thought he had forgotten about this! So happy the series continues!!!
@Star Wars Theory When the fight choreographer is saying Anakin is now a "9", he's refereeing not to force power level but to the sword fighting skill of the individual. He talked about it in one of the earlier behind the scenes episodes im pretty sure. There are two separate level systems, one for Force Power and one for Saber Skill. That's why you're getting confused I think with the whole level thing.
Love how you can care less about copyright and everything just to make content you love and want to share thanks for being you 👏
I really want to see more movies and shows to come out quick just so we can get more content from you. Theories!!
I absolutely love the bonus DVD videos
Me too
Great video as always man!!

Hello there, when it comes to Anakin , you know I have to watch . Good to be back .
You’re the chosen one after all good to have you back
@@aamirrazak3467 thanks
@I M of course
Glad Anakin's powers were heavily reduced after being defeated in Mustafar. Imagine how UNSTOPPABLE Darth Vader would have been
Yeah. Imagine Anakin using those to kill Palpatine
He would have been strong enough to take on sidious and yoda at the same time and win.
@C man Man ehm.. No. Dark Anakin in episode 3 is a level 9. Vader in canon is officially stronger than Anakin in episode 3. Vader isn't stronger than a full power Anakin (something we never see) but is stronger than Anakin episode 3.
After Mustafar Anakin don't become weaker, he just lose the potential to reach his full potential. Bur as Vader he is a lor stronger than Anakin in episode 3. It's canon
@@honestmaster1932 Thank you! The notion that ROTS Anakin can beat Vader is laughable.
You rock man, love the videos.
I miss these videos so much! Love you theory! :)
I was so convinced that lightsaber duels were real 😂
Me too
@C man Man I confirm
In episode 3 you might remember Anakin tells Count Dooku his powers had double since they last met, therefore he was probably a level 4 in episode 2.
The Gillard Scale is not linear. Its exponential. 9 is the maximum to which any Jedi or Sith can achieve, with the exception of Anakin at full potential. He would be the only 10, theoretically speaking. I think Anakin was around a 7 in AOTC. I have to watch the Star Wars Theory that explained it again.
Hey guy i just saw that video that someone was questioning your channel. Good that you replied back. I saw this on black jedi video and say you and him are great.
So glad this is back,, this great seeing Theory reaction cant wait for the next one
The fact that they had to slow down the fighting scenes....
LITERALLY LIKE THE TALENT 😍🤩
I really hope we get to see a level 9 Anakin order 66 jedi Temple butt kicking scene in the obi-wan series. That would be sweet.
@C man Man No no. There were women, and men too.
@C man Man The children, the women, and the men too.
@C man Man nah there was cin drallig the battlemaster and his favourite student jedi knight Serra keto and multiple unnamed padawans and knights
