Now, according to Lucas, in Anakin’s last few minutes alive on the Death Star, he was taught by Obi Wan and Yoda how to transcend himself into the next dimension. If you watch return of the jedi he briefly explains during the end how he did it. However, if you know my videos, you know I like to go into detail, I’ve found a passage from the book The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader. It explains our question today perfectly. I will now read you the passage verbatim...
Song by: William Maytook
• STAR WARS | Epic Force...
Because he's the chosen one. Born from the force. Even as Darth Vader, he carried out the will of the force
+Gvn Skw he did bring balance and destroy the Sith actually. The Sith that came after were really pretenders, stated by Palpatine. Anyone can really call themselves Sith and and wield a light saber, but they didn't hold the secrets of the Sith. And I don't know why you don't think he brought balance to the force. This doesn't mean that conflict and death will be stopped for all eternity. The Sith had a final plan crafted for centuries that would destroy the republic and the Jedi, and it was very effective. If it weren't for Anakin, this empire would have ruled for hundreds of thousands of years, possible eternity as Palpatine prophecized, Palpatine may have found the secret of immortality in that time. If it weren't for Anakin, this empire would be unstoppable. In fact, Luke was the last remaining Jedi in return of the Jedi, so he would not exist either if it were not for Anakin Skywalker and the prophecy of the chosen one. Leia would have been executed,
+Gvn Skw Han and Chewie would have never gotten to work for the rebellion, because Luke would never come along. The first Death Star wouldn't have been destroyed when it did, and the empire would have destroyed the rebel base and dominate the Galaxy, harder than they already were in episode 6
+Gvn Skw nevermind the Leia part, but she wouldn't have been born
+Gvn Skw they are still pretenders. They held no secrets of the Sith, they just copied traditions that were common knowledge, they had no Sith training at all either, they just knew the basics enough to be called dark Jedi. The title of Sith must be rewarded, that is if you're referring to Krayt. Snoke and Kylo are not Sith, and haven't even claimed themselves Sith, they found means to use light and dark side for personal use. And Palpatine begin resurrected isn't canon anymore, and at least to my knowledge Palpatine kind of abandoned the ways of the Sith in training a new apprentice and passing on Sith secrets, and instead just terrorized the Galaxy, because he knew his time in the physical world is running out. There are also still force ghosts of Sith that I believe are still out there, but they were not a threat to the galaxy
+bblurre I'm talking about Darth Krayt, which also isn't canon. And Palpatine returning also isn't canon
He became a force ghost because he was the chosen one and was conceived of the force. Anakin was meant to live on because he was the chosen one
How does he not destroy the sith? He killed Palpatine, the only one remaining sith. Krayt is not cannon anymore, and as far as we can tell, kylo and snoke are also not sith. As I see it, he did fully destroy all sith that were left, which was himself and palps. And well, it's debatable whetever or not he brought balance to the force, because there is no true definition of "balance".
***** You've got a point there. I guess maybe he did infact bring balance to the force, by eradicating all sith and jedi alike? From that perspective, he did fullfil the 3 prophecised points.
Gvn Skw
We are talking about canon, not legends
Gvn Skw, Sith and Jedi are not inherently Darkness and Lightness, respectively. Kylo and Snoke are not sith, far from it. Luke is also far from a Jedi.
Gvn Skw balance was killing shitloads of Jedi and at star Wars 3 leave 2 Jedi (Ben and yoda)
And 2 sith (sidious and vader)
And killing Vader(his dark side)
In star wars 6 he leaves no sith.
Jedi ghost younglings come in
Younglings: You killed all of us as children.
Anakin: *don't know what to say*
Yoda: Awkward this is, hmmm.
*Kill me again*
ValentinE and this time, stick your big lightsaber in our asses lol
Then all the other Jedi, just as mace windu xD
HISHE
Darth Vader101 Nice stolen joke.
0:44 It literally took Obi-Wan YEARS of meditation and focus, but Vader's like "hold my beer."
Mr12Relic he is the chosen one 😂
@@KoolaidPoptartz Twist: The Force said "By the way, I'm your father......."
He doesn't drink beer
@@rachelprighel4409 It’s a joke
He smoked an entire death stick in one big pull and immediately gained the secrets to the universe 😂
What if Anakin listend to Palpatine and left Obi Wan when he was unconscious by Dooku in Episode III
Marcy2200 yes pleas that would be great
Sounds cool
agreed
Yes
XPERTGAMER599 He would turn into Vader no matter what... Lol
Most people argue that Anakin didn't deserve to come back as a Force ghost, due to his past deeds as Vader but if I may address this misunderstanding:
The Force doesn't operate on a Good or Evil basis, it isn't an all seeing demigod deciding who's deserves to return and who doesn't etc, certain aspects of the force unlock certain abilities. For instance anger and hatred can potentially produce lightning. And light side users can potentially return as a Spirits, provided the user first fully rids themselves of their dark Sid tendencies, truly letting go of anger, hate etc. Anakin Let go of the Dark Side that was holding him back, he cleansed himself, rid himself of all things Dark Side and Vader.
People don't understand the concept of redemption (it does not and has never meant "making up for" bad deeds, or good deeds outweighing bad), and they think its like our concept of going to heaven. Its not, the Force in SW is more like pantheism/Buddhism. Becoming a Force Ghost was about becoming totally selfless, and Anakin did that at the end, but I like your explanation as well. He did rid himself of all things Dark Side and Vader. Or rather, he returned and destroyed Vader.
Agree, I've seen people who say I don't deserve to be a force ghost because of reasons
Are Vader and anakin the same person?
Yes and No. They are very much like a split personality fighting for control.
They are, but they have different personalities
Thanks so much for watching guys! The winner for the grahpic novel contest will be announced on my facebook tonight so go and join/check it to find out. Could you do me a solid favour? Can you hit the like button and share this video on FB? Thanks guys...I really REALLY appreciate you all. Thanks again. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL!!!
See you tomorrow!
Star Wars Theory how did luke recognise younger anakin? he had never seen his father as a jedi
Star Wars Theory when will the 3D animation coming out?
Star Wars Theory tell me why mace windu was not a force ghoust
I love your videos
Star Wars Theory What if Mace Windu trained Anakin, allowing him to tap into the dark side yet teaching him control.
Dude. I got CHILLS when you read that passage from the book. You sounded exactly like both characters of Obi-wan and Anakin. If you ever get the chance, you should totally read the entire book on video. Of course with the effects you added. EXCELLENT job!!!
I hope Hayden Christensen comes back in the future episodes as a force Ghost, he can redeem his part in Star Wars as long as he has a good director guiding him
Taz Oscar, he's a good actor. The director for the prequels is the one you hate.
Rainn Johnson says too many white dudes.
@Aidansreviews Hayden said he would come back if asked :)
he was always good
he doesnt need to redeem anything he did good did we watch different movies wtf?
I used to be sceptical of your videos, but now I love your videos.
hmm, I give this video......20 portions.
Taaha Najam
I say 60
yes
Ill pay a million spacebucks!!!
One quarter portion
Ah the times before the rise of Skywalker, so naive.
Anakin's the spawn of the Force itself, so I wonder if that had a part to play in it. I can't imagine his essence being normal
Anakin Skywalker is my favorite Jedi and when he turned to Darth Vader he was so awesome,but I liked his Jedi form better thoe.
According with official comic books about him, Darth Vader was one's of strongest force user, able to move entire buildings with force
Do you going to make me sad I missed my old body better than this stupid suit but I thank that this suit helps me be alive
@@Sasuke-yx4he your new life-support has a benefit.
Now Darth Vader is able to parry lightsabers with arms and plates parts are blaster proof
According with canon, his suit is made with hardsteel, stronger as beskar.
And last thing, he cannot die, because undead can't die
Look I know but my new body I can’t move so much how you think I can’t make mi old moves
@@Sasuke-yx4he I know and I know also you feel pain every second.
But now Vader can use anger every second. Anger made u the strongest force user ever existed.
In Vader comic books, he's able to do the impossible with the force-anger.
Also move amd destroy an entire facility
Gosh, how proud Obi Wan must have been when he saw Anakin return to the light side of the force.
The reason anakin became a force ghost was because his soul was freed by Luke and anakin was still strong with the Jedi side of the force, He just never realized it.
This video never gets old. Love to go back to this video when remembering this topic. Please never delete it will you.
Star Wars Theory, I just want to say thank you for the amazing Star Wars explained videos. I love Star Wars, maybe as much as you do. It is awesome to learn more about the Star Wars universe, and to see what could've happened if a critical event happened differently, or changed. So thanks for these videos. The Force is definitely with you.
"Love was the answer for the darkness." That means both Jedi and Sith were wrong. However it seems Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Qui Gon accepted that.
Qui qon first, but Luke and Obi-Wan discovered this on their own. I believe Yoda learned this from Luke and Obi-Wan
This makes me want to fucking cry
Wow, great video. It makes the scene before a lot more emotional 😭
Man good timing with this video, I was thinking that same question last night after watching Jedi with my son.
The last few minutes of The Return Of The Jedi have always been very touching and emotional for me. Since the first time I saw the movie back in the 90s. The removal of Vader's/Anakin's mask, the escape from the exploding Death Star, the happy and bright music behind the victory celebrations. Especially the funeral and party on Endor and Luke seeing his former Masters and his father. For me 'the real Star Wars saga' always ended there even though I liked the new Ep VII. It was so emotional to see the tormented soul of Anakin to finally be at piece...
I literally just finished the rise and fall of Vader a few days ago! Found a ton of interesting stuff such as the fact that he did in fact use FORCE LIGHTNING despite his machine parts! It was an amazing book even though it is now legends material
What I would like to see is What if Anakin had a good influence on Palpatine and at least brought him part way to the light side. Maybe even to the point he didn't force Anakin's transition into the dark side.
Jack Strange palpatine was way to evil
That is an unlikely but very cool concept.
Matthew Triem That is why I said part way and not fully.
interesting concept
Still that would never happen palpatine is way to evil to even think about it
Great video but you made one mistake. You said that Anakin's body was in the Darth Vader armor/suit when Luke burned it on the funeral pyre. But according to the Wookieepedia article about Anakin's funeral(In both Canon and Legends) the Darth Vader armor/suit is empty due to Anakin having become one with the force when he died.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS FOR MONTHS!
3:13 I really like how he says this here
I asked a variation of this question a few weeks ago and never really got an satisfactory answer. Thanks for fleshing it out a little. This one always bugged me.
Hey Man, I have now been watching for a couple months and I can honestly say that this is the best channel on UA-cam or anywhere for Star Wars discussions, facts, fan fictions and everything to do with the franchise. Your videos are very insightful and very well thought out. The videos are made perfectly to enhance the experience and you have the perfect voice for doing the videos. I love your fan fictions and topics! The senarios are completely realistic and I think that everything is good enough to be considered canon. I especially love that you upload videos everyday unlike some channels that go weeks or months without uploading. But unlike people who upload everyday, everyone one of your videos is extremely entertaining and I am one the edge of my seat everyday waiting for the next video to come out! I hope you take this channel father than you ever could hope and I'll be right here as one of your most devoted followers!
your music, your Editing. you do so much great stuff
This was beautifully done. Excellent work, and good luck with your fan film
Listening Obi Wan reach out to Anakin in this video at 1:35min gave me goose bumps! Thank you so much for that! Wish that would have been a part of Return of the Jedi the movie.
Thank you for explaining me what happened to Darth Vader and Return of the Jedi and May the force be with you always
What if Anakin listened to Palpatine and left Obi Wan on the ship?
Darth Vader kill Palpatine and government the galaxy.
I'm everywhere
Mans not hot
Kim Jong Un don't start conspict.. conspi, beef. Man dont make jokes
Love your videos, i just suscribed yesterday but i´ve already watched a ton of your work. Keep up the great work!
How will Anakin's force ghost react to the truth of Padme's death
Fabian Sald he already knew, that he was the one that killed her, well in legends anyway
He did not kill her
Great video mate. My brother was literally asking me this question a couple days ago. Now i can just show him this!
My theory was always that maybe even though Anakin didn't know what he was doing, he still did it. Like, when you are messing around, you accidentally do something amazing.
In order to be a force ghost, you must be at peace with the fact that you are dying. Obi-Wan accepted it, Qui-Gon mostly accepted it, Yoda accepted it - and Anakin accepted it. Therefore, even though he didn't know what he was doing, he still did it.
Just my theory.

Anakin wakes up in the force realm, he sees Obi Wan.
Anakin: Master, where is Padme? Is she alright? Is she safe?
Windu: she is dead but we do not grant her the rank of force ghost
Anakin: you guys are the worst...
I cried a little when you make Anakin say " i am sorry master "
I watched this as it came out, but watching it again just made me cry!
Thank you to answer some of my questions
Dude you made me cry!!!😭
I have been here from the beginning when you are at 25,000 subscribers
This video just made me subscribe. brilliant!
The movie's title is Return of the Jedi, The jedi being Anakin Skywalker returning
"As we all know, Jedi are the only ones who can turn into force ghosts"
From the very first sentence of this video you were wrong. Hard to top that.
Awesome video! You do such an awesome Anakin voice!!
Wow your production is pretty dope!
this is so beautiful😭😭
How about: Did Darth Vader believe he killed Padme?
Well yes, because of screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
Do what if Anakin killed Obi Wan in rots with this story:
Anakin would rescue his children and unfortunately Padmé would die but he would be very strict on his master telling him he would not have an impact on the children's lives and after 4 to 5 years Anakin invites Palpatine to a meal on Courascant and he would admit that he hasn't felt comfortable on his side and says 'Darth Vader is dead my friend.' Palps would ask 'then who am I eating with?' Anakin would respond 'Anakin Skywalker, that's who.' They finish and Palpatine is very worried but he and Anakin would still be friends and meet up together if they wanted to.Before departing Courascant, Anakin and Palpatine would have a meeting in the palace and the emperor had given him two crystals for lightsabers they would build if allowed. Anakin would take Luke and Leia to Naboo to live there freely, Anakin would take time out of his life to train them in the force as they had demanded while also training himself in more obscure aspects of the force such as healing, force ghosts, telepathy and a more defensive fighting style than normal. Now, Luke and Leia are 6 years old and Anakin is trying to locate master Yoda to help train the children, Anakin gets his wish and finds Yoda on Dagobah, Yoda is still resentful but is changed when he sees the children and wants to assist in their training after Anakin explains what has happened recently in his life and that he had renounced Darth Vader and become Anakin again. Palpatine has found Galen and just like what Anakin did in TFU he killed Kento and taken the child to train him in the dark side as lord starkiller, 17 years have passed and now at the time of ROTJ Anakin is now 46 with 23 year old Luke and Leia at his side they all tell Yoda that they would like to find Palps and end him. After pondering for what seemed like forever Yoda joins them in the fight the emperor but when they enter space Anakin senses 2 very familiar presences, low and behold these were Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex searching for Anakin, after a happy reunion Ahsoka asks if they can join in the fight against Palpatine and the empire, Anakin allows them to join and they make it to the second death star above Endor to face Palpatine and his obvious apprentice he had waiting for them. Rex was fighting stormtroopers alongside Ahsoka whilst the other 4 try make it to Palpatine without being spotted, all of them except rex for obvious reasons have made it to the throne room with Palpatine and Starkiller waiting on them 'I had sensed you long ago my old friend' he would say to Anakin who wouldn't respond but ignite his blue lightsaber Ahsoka follows igniting her white lightsabers insuing in a 3 on 1 duel of Ahsoka, Luke and Leia against Starkiller with Anakin and Yoda fighting Palpatine, the duel is long and hard for all but the Jedi come out on top with Starkiller dying by the hand of Leia and Palpatine dying by the blade of Anakin Skywalker however after this, Yoda would die but he would be a force ghost helping Anakin, Luke, Leia and Ahsoka on rebuilding the Jedi order back on Courascant. Grandmaster Anakin Skywalker would advice the master of his order Ahsoka help him complete the knights Luke and Leia's training before they get apprentices of their own and the galaxy was free of scum and villainy
Yeah, no.
Andrew Stokes behold the FanFiction comment
why not?
Andrew Stokes i like your idea, buuuttt.... its never gonna happen tho :)
Andrew Stokes Sidious is out of character, the moment anakin tells him hes no longer darth Vader hed be killed instantly. Also why would anakin even mention it? E knows Palpatine is leagues above him, and also Sidious would sense his turn to the light and again, kill him. There are like 3 different reasons why anakin is gonna die just from one sentence.
Honestly him being the chosen one is the only viable reason for him to become a force ghost. He had done too much evil to not suffer from a guilty conscious, how would he suddenly free himself of all that guilt and become one with the force. He was too corrupted to just be liberated from his wrong doings in his final moments..
Its not about "freeing himself from guilt". He still felt guilty. It was about becoming totally selfless. Self sacrifice is the highest form of love and requires a person to be utterly selfless. What he did for Luke was self-sacrifice,and in the process he didn't just save Luke he saved the entire Galaxy.
He also completely let go of the Dark Side (like Luke said "let go of your hate), and the Force saw there was no darkness there anymore. Since he soul had already left his body, he was basically liberated anyway.
I'm early I like your videos and I have subscribed
omg by far my fav topic about the chosen one thx for the knowledge :)
Wow that made me tear up a little, maybe I still love star wars... thanks
awesome video man👌
From what I remember another actor (Sebastian Shaw) played anakin's force ghost standing next to yoda and obi wan in the original return of the Jedi and in the 1997 revision/remake and not Hayden Christensen. In 2004, Hayden replaced Sebastian as the force ghost. Sebastian was the same actor who played the dying Vader when Luke removed his helmet in front of him in an imperial shuttle. All three ghosts were seen by Luke before he smiled at them and went to spend time with his sister and the rest of the rebel alliance victory feast/celebration.
Was literally just thinking about this today so thanks
nice vid! i love your contant
its so beautiful thank u for reading that part of the book to us
the music... I like that mix
Why did this make me emotional..
Swear iv been watching these videos for weeks now there sick
Most awesome vid!!!!!!!
Because your experience is too painful to repeat but precious to help people to arise from abyss of despair.
great explanation totally a good video
i love this video Anakin is my favorite jedi and i didnt like how he turned to the darkside but im happy he turn bake to the light side
He had a reason to become stronger even if he had to turn to the dark side. First to save his mother, and then his wife. He had always hated slavery and that the Jedi order and the Empire were a kind of slavery. Having managed to do good deeds besides bad ones like the dark lord. Which is shown in some comics. For example, he saves childhood friends. He makes a friend among the officers whom he saves with his life In the case when he spared opponents. So it is clear that Anakin remained in the depths of his soul. Vader also destroyed corruption. In addition, he insinuated himself into Palpatine's confidence, so to speak, spied on him and completed the task of eliminating him. It's not the mask itself that matters, but what's behind it. In fact, they were two separate personalities of different personalities. And they fought for dominance. Anakin the bright side and the Jedi. And Vader is his alter ego generated by the dark side of the force.
awesome video and you should do a video on the sith that did become force ghost
Truly wonderful this video is
I see someone who denies the fact that Anakin is the chosen one so imma clear things up for that guy. Well, balance to the force has a very complex meaning and is more complicated than u think. The role of the Jedi was to fulfill the will of the force and carry out their actions with influence by the will of the force. This however, wasn’t the case with Yoda’s Jedi order. Instead of following the will of the force, the Jedi were corrupted by politics and the will of the people, this leading to their own demise. After Anakin, the chosen one was spawned, his role was to eliminate anyone using the force for their own benefit and not for the will of the force itself. Qui Gon was the only Jedi who followed the will of the force besides Yoda and maybe Obi Wan, which is probably why he was chosen to transcend into force first. As a result, Anakin had to eliminate many Jedi from Yoda’s order and the Sith especially. The Sith were a corruption of the dark side. Not just the dark side, but the Sith used the dark side of the force against the will of the force and for their own benefit, power and corruption, thus, both the Sith and the Jedi of Yoda’s order were keeping the force imbalanced. Once Anakin eliminated the Jedi order in the Jedi purge, he still didn’t restore balance, because the Sith still remained. That’s why he survived Mustafaar, because the balance wasn’t restored yet. Once Anakin destroyed himself and Palpatine, THE LAST OF THE REAL SITH, and Yoda and Obi Wan became one with the force, the last of the former Jedi, the balance was finally restored since the ones keeping the force out of balance were eliminated and the new Jedi Order had risen with Luke training proper Jedi who followed the will of the force and strived to keep it in balance, fulfilling their initial role as keepers of the peace, and there being no more REAL Sith, one, because the Sith after Vader and Palpatine were deemed pretenders and two, because they aren’t canon lmao.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!
I keep using your videos to give answers to other fans in a facebook group.
What kind of music do you use for your videos its sets the mood really nicely while listing to the theory's.
Very cool. :) I like this one a lot. :)
This was great. I wish this would have been elaborated on more in novel sometime...
That intro is amazing!
Great video :)
Lobot is going to be in rogue one! It will explain how he got his cybernetic headgear.
At first I was going to reply saying how ridiculous you sound, then I remembered HelloGreedo.
Greedo The Dorito hello! greedo
If you ask me that is another question I never wanted answered. They should be making movies about new things with new characters instead of trying to give backstory to every little character from the original trilogy.
Force ghosts only apply to a Jedi.
Han Solo: Hold my heavy blaster.
Sequels are non canon
@@oggypilestro6343 They didn't even let Anakin be the one to communicate with Ben after losing to Rey. It's like they forgot that he was the most important figure in star wars lore.
let`s say someone, definetly not me, watches the final scenes (the ones with luke seeing the 3 ghosts-yoda, obi wan, anakin) and cries everytime like a 5 year old. what that set person, DEFINETLY NOT ME, should do. great videos mate, congrats. :D
I would have loved it if you have put the version with Sebastian Shaw
AMAZING VIDEO
Force ghosts are awesome TBH :))
great video.
Thanks Alf!!
the one thing i find really interesting is anakins robe change in the ROTJ ghost scene. his true final transition to becoming the chosen one.
Can you make an: Why didn't Qui Gon Jinn spoke to Count Dooku while he was a force ghost?
when is if kylo didn't kill Han solo
in the works :D Thanks for watching man
the movie has almost been out for a year. If you haven't seen it shame on you.
Sanchez bro everyone has watched
Then Harrison Ford would kill himself.
Please guys, have been looking for this song for weeks now ! What's the music 0.46 - 2.30
Great videos!!!dont stop Had a few thoughts
-What if Vader beat Luke on the Death Star 2?-What if the Death Star 2/ Moff Jererrod destroyed Endor as Palpatine demanded?
Wow I came here right after rewatching ROTJ and I cried as you read this.
his intro is bad ass
Good video! Could you do a video where Anakin converts Palpatine to the light side instead of Anakin being turned to the dark side? I saw a few other people suggest it, would be cool.
What is the song name used at the end of your videos?! I just HAVE to know! its awesome
Seeing the pain being brought towards his son and being with the pain for 20 years, is why he turned back. Anger and hate takes everything from a person. Vader lost everything when he turned, and it took him 20 years to realize that, and when he figured that out, he turned back and when he did that the pain and struggles he had endure all those years ended forever.
Yes the light was still in Vader and upon the sacrifice of love saving Luke. He had also fulfilled the prophecy and rebalanced the force! Vader was no more Anakin Skywalker had returned free to join the force!
Someone who gets it.
Would u mind telling us the outro music ?
GUT_GAMING _815 ijr it's so lovely
GUT_GAMING _815 Almost every video i ask and still nothing :'(
