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

      It wasn't just because Palpatine decieved him. Qui-Gon dying sealed his fate because he was the only Jedi able to help Anakin understand and accept loss because he wasnt a council Jedi. Anakin needed a father figure. Instead he got Palpatine. Qui-Gon didnt care for politics and did what was right. The council Jedi were arrogant and way too politically motivated. Anakin numerous times tried to talk to the council and they said accept it. Let go. Obi-Wan was more council the Qui-Gon and too young to train an all powerful and troubled Padawan. Visions be damned. It was a perfect storm. Anakin was to blame, Obi-Wan was to blame, Palpatine was to blame, and, the Jedi Council was to blame. My favorite character in cinema or literature. Because I could see myself going down that same dark road, with the force super powers you think you control, but, in reality controls the user. I know I would have fallen no matter how much I loved and cared. That's why Anakin/Vader is my favorite. P.s. I would have taken off Mace Windu's head not his hand. He to me represents the worst of the council. But that's just my opinion.

      He did such a good job showing how and why he transformed. And the writing of it to make us empathize and understand he could not heed yodas training. He could not let go of his pain in knowing the future, he was trapped by it. I don't understand why so many people don't like anything but the original movies. I grew up with iv, v, and vi, now there is so much more depth to character.

Star Wars has always been the Skywalker story and those around him. To deny that is criminal and undeserving of opinion or criticism.

  • @Kassadinftw
    @Kassadinftw Місяць тому +35

    The redemption of Vader only comes as a direct result of Luke's refusal to give up on his father. Kenobi, even Yoda were unable to do that. I love the lightsaber battles, but as an adult I now realize that the wielding of the blades and being a jedi was more than just power or skill. Those colors of green and red really represented the greater battle of evil vs. good, and it's fitting that the victory doesn't come as a result of the blade or the power of Luke. The light side wins because of Luke's refusal to condemn and call to his father to be redeemed. It is never too late to start doing what's right, to turn and be healed. This theme is what makes the story so great and timeless.

    This video, without a doubt, represents the most remarkable depiction of Anakin Skywalker and his transformation into Darth Vader that I have ever come across. It captures the essence of Anakin's extraordinary journey, leading from a heroic figure to a formidable villain, and ultimately finding redemption to become good once again. I cannot stress enough how this portrayal resonates with me on a deep level, forging an even stronger bond with the Star Wars universe.
    While every aspect of the Star Wars saga is undeniably awe-inspiring and enjoyable, it is the legacy of Anakin Skywalker that stands above all else. His story, as portrayed in this video, is a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of his character. It takes us back to his early years, portraying him as a wide-eyed child, brimming with untapped potential and innocence. As the scenes seamlessly transition, we witness Anakin's growth as he embarks on the path of a Jedi apprentice, his destiny intertwined with the unfolding events of the Clone Wars.
    One aspect that truly captivates me is the inclusion of Anakin's own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Their bond is beautifully portrayed, showcasing the mentorship and camaraderie that develops between them. Through their shared experiences, we witness Anakin's guidance and the profound impact he has on shaping Ahsoka into the remarkable Jedi she becomes. The video masterfully weaves in scenes of their interactions, highlighting the depth of their connection.
    But the video doesn't stop there; it goes beyond the confines of Anakin's apprentice and delves into the relationships he forms with other significant characters. We are treated to glimpses of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Padme, individuals who play pivotal roles in Anakin's life. These scenes serve as poignant reminders of the love, loss, and sacrifices that shape Anakin's journey.
    As the narrative unfolds, we are transported to the tumultuous era of the Galactic Civil War. It is here that Anakin, now known as Darth Vader, is confronted by those who were once close to him. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Luke, in particular, stand as powerful symbols of the conflict that exists within Anakin's soul. The video skillfully portrays their emotional encounters, showcasing the internal struggle that Anakin faces as he grapples with his past and the choices he has made.
    What truly sets this video apart is how seamlessly it merges all these intricately woven scenes together. The transitions are flawless, creating a cohesive and visually stunning experience. Every frame serves a purpose, painting a vivid picture of Anakin's journey and the profound impact he has on the galaxy.

This is an insane piece of cinematic history, combining all the key moments of the Skywalker Saga, showcasing the faults of the Order, deception of the Sith, the emotional manipulation of Anakin as well as the grip Vader had on the Galaxy by pure fear alone. The transition where Krennic looks at Vader in sheer horror with the sound of Palpatine giving Vader his Sith name was jaw dropping. The part where a remixed version of duel of the fates plays when Vader faces Obi Wan, then cuts to silence shows the hatred, fear, sweat, tears and brotherhood shared between the two. The transition from the Hallway scene to the multiple other fights was just unbelievable
