Prequel haters always complain that Anakin didn't resemble Darth Vader at all, and that they are like two separate characters. I'm sure if you lose your friends, suffer all of these injuries and discomfort, and told that you killed your wife and unborn child, you wouldn't be the same person either.
Same. I could never understand how that was the same anakin in that suit when I was younger. Now I know that's what the creators were going for to give you the idea that anakin is no more and that this is someone else
Tim Murphy Hayden played a great anakin. Do people know most sociopaths are very quiet and emotionless. Not everyone who screams and is eccentric are the ones who cause mass murders
True, it would really mess with you mentally
Also i think Anakin was portrayed very well.
Beast Uzumaki Yes! Another thing prequel haters seem to miss is Jedi were trained to not show emotion. How dare these Jedi, who were trained from childhood to not show emotion...not show emotion. Anakin was a Jedi who began his training much later than most padawans. I thought it was a great portrayal of someone who has been trained to hide his emotions, but just couldn't.
"Prequel haters" complain about Anakin being a whiny bitch.
Quite literally one of the best characters in the history of fiction.

My aunt worked in a burn unit. Much of this reminds me of the stories she would tell. Burns are a horrible thing to recover from. When it came time to scrub the dead skin away, they would load the patients up with morphine, but to little effect. Many burn victims become addicted to pain killers through no fault of their own. I would not wish burns on my worst enemy.
That sounds horrible. I’m sorry that her patients had to deal with that. I can’t imagine how much pain Vader felt from his burns, if the burns your aunt’s patients experienced were already pretty bad.
@@speedracer2008Yes, his burns were absolutely horrific, pretty much everybody experiences pain differently but being burned is quite the constant in that it’s described by nearly everyone as being a 10/10 on the pain factor, just about nothing else hurts as much as being set on fire, it’s horrific.
Plus, he was lying on that volcanic embankment for multiple hours, at least 2 or 3 hours, Palpatine was no where near Mustafar when he sensed Vader was in danger and needed help, so his chest became massively scarred from lying face down.
And perhaps most disturbing of all, lying like that on rock that hot actually gave him 4th degree burns, which is the absolute worst it can get, the burns penetrate so deep they burn muscle and organ tissue, destroying that tissue or at least destroying enough of it that it often means the entire organ needs to be removed.
3rd degree burns don’t hurt because they destroy the nerves and sometimes even the entire nerve fibres, but 4th degree burns would be excruciating, muscle and organ tissue is directly connected to and absolutely filled with nerve endings, hence why working out and destroying your muscle tissue lifting weight is painful.
Vader was cooked alive for hours, and if Palpatine never turned up, eventually he’d just have been burnt and cooked entirely, not a single part of his body would function, so if he’d somehow survive that, and survive the brutal surgery, he’d be just like General Grievous was, 95 - 98% cyborg.
Yeah, at that point, you really can't blame them if they get addicted to pain numbing opiates. That's just too much pain for any human being to deal with for every second of every minute of every day!
Why do people say that?, if it was your worst enemy why wouldn’t u wish that?, are people just afraid of the wrath of “god”? Idk
But it always shocks me when people say that.
I had a burn on my chest when I was like 7. I don't remember if it was 2nd or 1st degree. But every time we had to clear the wound it was HELL. Can't even imagine this kind of injury.
Darth Vader is one of the most in depth villians ever created. A viilian going through depression and regret is quite rare, and this makes his redemption more rewarding
The redemption arc doesn't do justice to the massive atrocities that he committed, throughout his life. The only "good" deed he did at the end was triggered by his fatherhood. Not really a virtue.
@@anujmchitale The whole premise of the original trilogy was the son trying to persuade his father to redeem himself.
Are being a good father and being a good son not virtues?
@@staticsnow22 No they aren't virtues in the context of the entire Starwars story. The original trilogy was about a small fish( the rebels) challenging and bringing down the Goliath. The father- son arc was but one part of the whole thing.
@@anujmchitale Realistically Luke is the main protagonist and Darth Vader is the main antagonist of the original trilogy (the Emperor is barely mentioned or shown throughout the trilogy until the very end of ROTJ)
I’d say the father-son arc was probably the most important part of the plot.
@@staticsnow22 Depends on the outlook. Even if I assume this to be the main arc, in my thought, there is no redemption for Darth Vader. He was an evil guy who brought havoc throughout his life.
That made Vader even more tragic than he already was... it was truly sad to hear all of that...
Roberto Blake Yeah, kinda depressing. But knowing that he went through all of that, along with his memories,makes him even more a badass in my eyes
I️ was not expecting it to get that dark
Roberto Blake Ikr. The only way i cannot feel sad for him is to think of him butchering children.
Roberto Blake How am I finding you here lol
the real sad truth is palpatine was a great manipulator. i don't buy that he ever wanted to save padme. anakin was in such a bad state that what palpatine was telling him seemed believable. imho anakin went overboard when he killed the young lings.
Can clone whole humans... can’t clone spare organs...
Exactly
Intentionally to further torture Vader and bring him deeper to the dark side
@@mr.laststand5566 He doesn't have possibility later to do that without emperor knowing it?!
So true. We can do skin grafts, organ transplants, and even reattach severed limbs, so with their tech Vader could be just like new.
@@Max1mvsM whenever Darth Vader is out of his suit and in his bacta tank he is guarded by two members of the Imperial bodyguard whose mission is not only to guard Vader but to keep an eye out for any tissue regeneration and inform Palpatine immediately if it is observed
Dang. His suit was basically a hell-prison for him. And no one could do anything about it.
"This is not walking."
"This is not seeing."
"This is not hearing."
"This is not breathing."
"This is not living."
It's honestly astounding anyone ever feared him.
This is very much a One by Metallica situation. Just get rid of the landime in the lyrics and everything else could easily be a tribute song to Vader's torture.
@@jeffcarroll1990shock its more outstanding he still became on of the most powerful siths even with that prison or should i call suit
@@jeffcarroll1990shockWhy does that astound you? Vader may have had all the hallmarks of a Polio victim, but he could still crush a man’s windpipe from another planet. Pretty sure that’ll make people piss themselves.
@@nicosimioni7363 damn i never even considered that but yeah the story really does line up with One, thats actually really neat
This man was literally a machine running on nothing but hatred and regret. Most of that hatred was probably towards himself, too. Damn.
Join the dark side they said. It will save your wife they said.

It's pretty much always the case with becoming a villain. You expect to finally have it all, but instead you lose what you already had.
"they"? only one guy told you that bro :)
As a huge Vader fan and a real life amputee, I can tell you that an ill fitting prosthesis is very painful and can make me very angry and miserable. I feel you Darth, I feel you.
I actually couldn't finish the "Rise of Darth Vader" novel because the descriptions of the painful prosthetic-body interface hit too close to home. It just got too real for me.
:(
TheTaralovesmakeup If it helps at all, those detailed descriptions of his injuries are mostly at the beginning of the book...
Sorry you gotta go through that man
💔
Which limb did you lose
I know he has done horrible, horrible, horrible things, but I can’t help but feel so very sorry for Anakin. In his quest to protect what was most precious to him, he lost everything. The love of his life, his best friend/brother, his honor as a Jedi Knight, his body and his children. Trapped in a HELL of his own making I know, if he had a chance to go back and try again, he would make a different decision. I just can’t help but pity him.
I don’t feel sorry for him. He was blinded by arrogance and is a mass murder even before he lost to Obi Wan on Mustafar. He deserved everything that he had endured because he betrayed not only his wife, but his former master (who’s more like a brother) and all the Jedi in the galaxy
Oh man, that’s extremely disturbing. I never thought about all of his wounds with that much depth. This is easily the greatest tragedy ever made in a story/franchise.
This is not seeing.
This is not hearing.
This is not breathing.

Pretty sure the droids didn't fail. They did exactly what Palpatine told them to do.
irllcd13 yeah if I remember correctly palpatine specifically made his suit like that, 1) it increased his hatred and dark side powers, 2) it limited Vader Incase palpatine needed to kill vader
Palpatine was pulling one bitch move after another to control and torture Darth Vader.

@@nanand.r Yeah the whole trilogy doesn’t make sense in my opinion. Disney just wanted money. I don’t like Kylo Ren’s character. He’s just a confused character seeking for power he doesn’t fully understand. I don’t really feel any sympathy for his character. I was so mad when he killed Han. He couldn’t deal with it. He knew it wasn’t him he just did that for nothing. Thank goodness for Filoni and Favreau
Darth Vader: "Wahhhh I'm stuck in suit and helmet all the time."
Mando: "This is the way."

Those helmets must smell really bad. lol
Darth Vader to Mando: This is not the way.

When I say every angle, I'm talking:

@@wellplayed4497 Obi-Wan has always been my guy, I'd like to think I would have been as stoic as him and stayed on the path of the Jedi.
The fact that he was still so powerful despite all of this is so badass
It really makes one wonder just how powerful he would've become at his full potential as the most powerful force user in galactic history had he not been so limited because of his many injuries and the cumbersome, bulky suit. Obviously, stronger than either Yoda or Palpatine (Palps even stated as such in Revenge of the Sith to Yoda) but to what extent beyond that, exactly? With Vader's power showcased in recent times like Jedi: Fallen Order, Kenobi series, Rogue One, and the comics from 2015 onward despite said limitations, all I know is full potential, injurie-free, suitless Vader would've been an absolute nightmare of the highest caliber to face.
@@indio4-215 Twice as powerful as Sidious, so says the creator.
I pity Vader. He must have regretted everything everyday.
+Swaggy Mc.Daddy his hate for himself is what makes him strong. legends or canon vader hates what he was and what have he done

Skyguy is right all about that idea not dad general master kenobi sir

Literally too angry to die
yup
I’m late to this, but the reasoning behind his out dated armor was so that Palpatine was able to always have “some” control over his apprentice since u know, siths always kill their master
But it makes you wonder what his plan was had he not been injured. He even told Yoda that he would become more powerful than either of them.
Thats bullshit. Palpatine didnt know he will get injuries. Its a big lack of logic. Also when they saved him there was no time to plan such things. It just dont make any sense at all
@@AbInDieKaribik it literally makes sense In every way…Siths have to kill their master for ascension and palpatine was greedy and knew this cardinal rule. So you get your most force sensitive apprentice who can potentially out power you, and you hinder his abilities
@@xxSgt_Aryes But Vader made c3po when he was 9. Vader could upgrade it himself and Sidious let him do it as well
One theory I have about Vader's armor. When Anakin was first put into the armor it was probably up to date technology, but over the 30+ years he was inside the armor it was never updated. So over the years Vader aged but the armor stayed the same. So I don't think it had anything to do with power, just the simple reason of Palpatine not upgrading the suit (nomatter if it had anything to do with power or being controlled).
Not being upgraded and the fact he possibly still had love for his wife, Padme and seeing his kids after all this time could be another reason that he turned away from the dark side of the force.
For a technologically advanced world, Vader's suit was seriously out of date.
He got a old tech suit just so palpatine can make sure anakin will not betray him and to control him
@@MilIinea I'm surprised that he never bothered to make his own suit.
@@Shinx990 Well he could, he basicly had a infinite supply of credits. Yet he didn't cause the hate and anger the suit gave him amplified his power a ton
He jacked up suit is alllllll Palpatine.
vaders suit is like 1850s technology in 2020.
Darth Vader's armor is like a mobile torture chamber, constantly tormented every time he moves. That's terrible.
ARC Trooper TV 😖
Sounds a lot like my life :(
In the canon comics he modified and repaired his own suit and augments, which this video doesn't mention. So I'm sure he corrected the faults.
Was very well deserved though.
@@MrDeadline86
Easy to say for one who has never lived his sort of life.
And The funny thing is that I was responsible for 50% of them.
Troll commenting on UA-cam videos is exactly the kind of thing that Obi-Wan would do. Shine on, you beautiful bastard.
Tell me, how do you *feel* about Vader’s suit, master obi wan?
Not Obi Wan's fault
:)
You could just cut my mechanical arm and then knock me out
Damn bro, with how much pain Anakin felt physically and mentally, I'm surprised he didn't use his own lightsaber on himself..
In reading this, even though it was composed several years ago, I agree with you!
I think at times he was always tempted in one way or another.
As a true warrior, he probably was hoping to find someone who was stronger, more skilled and triumphant in defeating him honorably, as most warriors prefer in battle.
The irony of course was it wasn't the hate that conquered or destroyed him putting an end to his life, it was the opposite.
The love he had for his own lineage, it's rather an interesting dichotomy.
I hear that in one of the Vader comics, he tried bringing a building down on top of himself with the force.
Who would want to live after finding out YOU killed your wife and unborn child. And You destroyed the galaxy all for nothing. And you're not even a human anymore.
So basically Darth Vader felt like he was permanently walking in sand.
Imagine him walking in sand
No, also, that’s not fucking funny

That’s what makes Vader such a compelling villain. He made a lot of people suffer, but his own suffering (both externally and internally) certainly wasn’t anything to sniff at.
I've always empathized with Vader, he has always been my favorite character in all of scifi. And I've been a die hard fan since the beginning when I saw the first movie back in 1977.
Nice
I was 6 years old in 1977. Seeing Vader on the big screen for the first time as he enters Leia's ship was totally awesome.
This truly made me cry. Just to know he suffered this much and carried on broke my heart. He truly is the strongest man I have ever known.
He murdered bunch of innocent children
@@mandolen3317 Have you even read the novels and comics surrounding Darth Vader? It makes this comment of yours seem pointless. We are talking about Vader’s suffering not what he has done.
Anakin has killed many people including children. He deserves to live in Darth Vader hell that Anakin himself created.
You crying over fictional character? Get real
@@Maverick-ne3mrYou have more hate than Sidious don't you?
This is why you ignore the old guy who says he likes you...
I think Vader, after the prequels and the following novels, becomes a character you are supposed to fear but also pity. His depression, anger, sorrow, and possibly regret are all things we all feel throughout our lives and he has become the embodiment of all of those things. The only relief brought to him by his son, Luke, when Luke showed him that he did not need to live like this anymore. A part of Padme lived on within Luke and so did Obi-Wan's teachings but also so did a part of Anakin. Anakin was still alive and Vader was then finally defeated and Anakin allowed himself to finally rest. To die.
Depression all over his LIFE
This just makes the dark side so much more badass, he was hindered in so many ways but became one of the best sith lords through the power of the dark side
I fully respect your understanding of Anakin. You are bringing to life the real tragedy. It was always there, in the books or hidden in the subtleties of the movies but your videos deserve lot of respect. You are allowing everyone to see and clearly understand the horrors Skywalker went through!!
Vader suffered his whole life, he hated being a slave, hated his inability to save his mother, hated the Jedi for denying his chance to save her, hated Obiwan for holding him back , hated the council for denying him knowledge, the loss of Padme tortured him, all the while being manipulated by Palatine to finally snap ... do I feel sorry for Vader? Yes of course I do, his whole life is tragic.
Now u know how justice works
A lot of the things he hated the Jedi for was because of his own selfishness and impatience. So he was powerful and gifted. So what? That means they should hand him everything on a silver platter. He wanted it all now now now Instead of earning it like everyone else.
Sami Lynn the whole Star Wars plot
Remember the sand!!
Poor Darth Vader... I pity him a lot.. plus he is my fave Star Wars character...
I do empathize with Vader/Anakin. He is nothing but a mislead and emotional child of slavery.
The Jedi failed him where the Sith did not. This lead to him being easily corrupted.
Every Jedi on the council knew of his ever-growing fears, and his easily turned on anger and hatred. Due to his slavery he was prone to these negative/darkside emotions vs the Jedi's pretty much 0 emotion.
Anakin had visions of his mother calling out to him help, but the Jedi did nothing. Obi-Wan saying it is nothing more than a nightmare of a boy who is missing his mother.
After the last dream Anakin could no longer take it, and went to check on his mother, to his horror, was tortured and then died from the wounds.
Obi-Wan failed Anakin, and therein the seeds of doubt towards the Jedi was planted. His hate for Obi-Wan, I would say, started at this moment not the others. Despite never having been acknowledged.
But we know this to be true since his next vision of Padme dying he reacted to immediately and eventually succumbed to the darkside. He never wanted to lose anyone ever again and sought out any means to prevent this from happening anymore.
The Jedi also don't care about the lives of anyone. Whenever a Jedi, or a person is in trouble they end up leaving them behind to suffer death if it means their goals are accomplished.
Every time they could have taught Anakin to be a better person, every time they could have turned the tides of his battle with the darkside they kept on failing him. Yoda telling him not to fear, nor to miss those he loves who has died probably tortured him mentally. He can't do that.
The Jedi neglected him and decided NOT to take the necessary steps to prevent him from succumbing to his hatred, to his fear and to his anger. All the things Palpatine managed manipulate.
Anakin Skywalker was tossed aside to the wayside by the Jedi immediately after being found and given promises of a better life, despite how challenging it will be. He wasn't given the proper care or love to grow into a more stable adult.
The Jedi should have never let their doubts of Anakin get in the way of raising and training the boy.
He is the result of a neglectful Jedi council.
@Juicelad smart thinking. I think that that's one of the most logical theories ive ever heard
You are missing a big piece of the puzzle....a true hero makes the most of nothing. The Jedi teachers did fail him BUT he could have still made the right choices if he was stronger character. He was just a weak person inside and very easy to manipulate. But he still better than if he would have been left a slave boy in a worthless planet.
@Juicelad Funny to think that the reason for his redemption into the light was his love of his family, his son.
@@cookiemon87 How do you know? He had the highest midi-chlorian levels ever seen. If he hadn't been found by the Jedi and had continued to be raised by a loving mother and continued to have his love of tech repair nurtured by his master, albeit unintentionally, there's no limit to how far he could progress. Look what he had done already at such a young age. He was clearly incredibly intelligent and would have undoubtedly escaped slavery sooner than later, probably just by bargaining with his master to the benefit of both. Or follow the storyline, he would have gone with his mother when she married, etc., etc., etc..
@@borountree4539 nope, Palpatine would have found him as a kid, killed his mother through treachery and trained the sith since a child and created an unstoppable Force and taken over the Galaxy permanently as there wouldn't have been a Luke to bring him to the light side
Those brutal cries of pain at the beginning are just…
It hurt a lot
In history of literature, there have been three great tragic heroes: Oedepus, Hamlet, and Anakin Skywalker
If I were him, I'd have stuck a lightsaber through my skull the moment I heard Padmé was dead. It surprised me that's not what he did, considering she was all he lived for and killed for.
He wanted to suffer for his actions
Anakin died when he became Vader so he suppressed his emotions for her and followed his hatred
@@fritzthedemon4575 yeah in one of the comics he was asked by a Darth Maul clone I believe it was what do you hate so much that gives you such power and he simply answered myself
He did actually try to commit suicide by collapsing a building on itself.
Everyone died except for him.

*Stands on the highground*
"This isnt the highground..."

*coughing fit*
In response to Cookie mon, that is exactly what I was going to say. It was Anakin's to cling onto that fear and hatred, it was Anakin's choice to follow Palpatine. It was Anakin's choice to murder those younglings. It was Anakin's chioce to murder Windu in cold blood. It was Anakin's choice not to come to his senses on Mustafar and return to Obi-Wan
Luke was put in a similar situation (though not a slave, he had a pretty miserable couple of years).
It was Luke's choice to die rather than join his father (though he didn't die, that's what he had intended). It was Luke's choice to not to strike down Sidious and be possessed. It was Luke's choice not to join the Dark Side, but fight it with every last breath in him. It was Luke's choice not to go down the path of the Dark Side when his Aunt and Uncle were murdered by stormtroopers. It was Luke's choice not to give into the lure of the dark side on Auch-To (yes, I know I spelled that wrong, but I don't feel like googling it rn). It was Luke's choice not to strike down his nephew while he slept (in that scenario is was Ben who made the choice to turn to the Dark Side, not confront his master about what had happened that night).
Anakin's and Luke's choices was what differentiated them, and why I don't sympathize with Vader in all his suffering. (though I love the suit design, super slick)
Vader/Anakin is the tragic hero of the Star Wars saga. But, we should not forget that in spite his crippled life as Vader, he also enjoyed the power of the Dark Side and ruling the galaxy. He's no saint and that's why he's the best character in Star Wars and one of the best in cinema history.
If only George hadn't handicapped Hayden with that horrible dialogue in the prequels
You make it seem like he enjoyed that power. He didn't give jack about his power, the only things he cared about were his wife and his mother and they were dead. The only thing left was hate. He suffered crippling depression his whole life as Vader, only feeling happiness at the end thanks to his son.
Mario Paul I think Anakin depression started long before his Vader days. It started at the death of his mother. He was always taught to suppress his emotions instead of acknowledge them so they he can deal with it in a healthy way.
It explains why Vader moves and acts the way he does. Not only does his constant pain make him more rageful, but it also explains why he moves so intimidatingly; he picks up his feet and walks with a great stride because he has to.
Incidentally, while in real life Vader's helmet was based on a Samurai mask, I wonder if in-universe, the Emperor had it made in to look like a Sith hood. It flares and hangs over his eyes just like Sidious's hood does, and save for the fact that it's trimmed around his neck to allow for movement, it even looks like a hood shaped specifically for his mask. It would also make sense that Palpy would give his mask the visage of a hood, to replace his ability to wear a proper robe.

I definitely feel sympathy for Vader. I mean even though he committed those terrible acts and became more machine than man, the scene is rogue one shows us that he is still a mortal being. And this video only helps bring to light the depression that Vader went through and knowing what we know Vader only turned to the Darkside to save those he loves. Can you really blame someone trying to save their loved ones. I definitely sympathise with Vader I cannot image what it would be like to be within that prison of a suit and the prison that is his own mind.
I completely agree. That is why I sympathise with him. All the manipulation pushed him into thinking it was his own thoughts. (Palpatine's Manipulation and others as you have stated)
Memestro I agree with both of you guys. I think what's more sad is he was very insecure that he never knew how to come out to people. Hell not even to Padme.
Does make ya wonder had he was able to come out more so with his fears and insecurities, maybe he would of not turned and been easily manipulated
In saying that if the Jedi code didn't have as much restriction as it did then, then I feel everything would have been different for me. Oh and if they Council had rescued his mother then all of the horrific events that eventually lead to the end of the Jedi might never have happened.

You know, as a young kid, I really was drawn to Anakin Skywalker. Of course at that time I was too young to really understand the fears and frustrations he had, and I kinda felt his turn to the dark side was too easy. With more experience now in my early 20s, and a better understanding of the Star Wars lore, I sympathize with Anakin even more.
pray/hope you don't suffer a life-altering setback in your mid-twenties and end up hating yourself to the point of depression and loss of identity, because, let me tell you, then you'll REALLY begin to identify with Vader lol
@@KJ-wx2su oh trust me so do I lol
I've always empathised with Vader as he is such compelling Character and such an amazing and terrifying Villian.
I can empathize with Vader in respects to how he felt depressed, and at times angry, with his body's limitations. I am a retired Marine and a disabled Veteran. I broke my back on active duty and was forced to retire after 20 years. I would have done 30 if I could have. While I am not paralyzed, I can walk and obviously by typing I can use my hands, my mobility is greatly limited. One of my favorite past times is woodworking. But, I can only do it occasionally. Cutting the grass on my small lawn is a three day affair. One day to cut it and two more barely able to move from the pain throughout my body. I am on enough high strength opioids to put the average person to sleep for a full day. And I take them 3 times a day. I understand his depression at not being able to do the things he once could, or at least the difficulties that these activities now present. I also understand his anger. The frustration at not being able to do the things I love most leads me to be angry at the very things I love most quite often. My situation has even eroded a marriage of 34 years to the point of simply living with someone who used to be my best friend. So, in summation, I think that I and others like myself who have been brought low by the ravages of war, understand Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker very well.
Bill Weaver Although in person we probably would never have much in common and probably quite a bit of disagreement on life as I’m a gay man, very passive and gentle in nature. I still feel a profound respect for you for protecting MY freedom to be who I am. I’m not being tortured, being thrown off buildings, being put to death for just being. And in no way was that attributed to politicians or so called advocates for this agenda or that. It wholly fell on men (and women) like you.
Even more amazing if otherwise you’d find my life disagreeable to your sentiments. Regardless, you protected me and gave me the chance to exist in relative peace and safety. For all the suffering you are enduring, I hope that that small truth helps you endure and rise above your pains. YOU protected my freedom and my safety and countless others who would otherwise be victimized, tortured and murdered, because of our differences, by wicked people.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making those sacrifices to protect me. 🙏
I'm a Disabled Veteran as well, and I sympathize
I know it's a late reply, but bless you for your service. My dad did 30 and is in a similar situation. You deserve so much better
Thank you for your service. I’m 28, but when I was 11 I had a bad fall, broke my tailbone and “shocked my spine,” and within a year I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. Within three years I was housebound. For about two years I was mostly bed-bound. Once I started improving, I was often in so much pain I would physically shake. I couldn’t sit, I’d pace until I was exhausted because I couldn’t sit or rest in that much pain. I’d have migraines that could last over a week, in my room with blacked out windows, listening to audiobooks on the lowest level possible, eating meals in the dark. At least getting thirty injections in my face, head and neck, every four months keeps those from being my normal experience now.
Last year I started fighting back again. I got a treadmill and was so embarrassed. I couldn’t walk five minutes at 1mph without needing a break. My back would seize up and it was hard to breathe because the chest wall muscles would clamp down; it was physically difficult to be able to breathe like that. I wouldn’t drive, because I’d have maybe thirty seconds of warning before an attack like that could happen, and I couldn’t keep my eyes open, much less drive in that kind of pain. I’m slowly starting to be able to add time; I can do 25 minutes a day if it’s in five mini-walks, and I’m at 2.2mph now.
It’s going to take forever and be embarrassing and frustrating, but eventually I’ll find a way to claw my way out of the pit that is currently my physical life. I will never be younger and I’ll never have more of a chance than now. Of course now I’m also dealing with Lupus, which is a complication. My body can randomly decide to attack various organs and systems. If I do even the slightest thing to stress or injure myself, it’s weeks before the runaway inflammation calms down enough for me to attempt to continue.
I think... because it’s not “normal,” chronic pain is seen as weird and “other” by a lot of people. It’s assumed you actually aren’t in as much pain, but you just don’t cope as well as normal people. Or that you’re a drug seeker. Or that you want attention and sympathy.
I don’t wish ill on anyone, and I’d certainly never want them to live with chronic pain. But I do wish there was a way they could walk in the shoes of someone who has to fight, every day, just to retain some mobility and independence. Who has to be looked at like they’re addicts when all they want is to just be able to keep their pain at a level that they can hold down a job or be able to cross a room or to sleep at night, instead of waking any time they move, pain hitting them before they open their eyes. I wish... empathy was more of a thing.
Because as sad as Anakin’s story is, there are people in horrific pain every day without proper treatment, no hope of a cure, knowing they’ll live in this much pain for however long it takes for life to kill them. And these are real people, who didn’t betray an order or kill Younglings or try to take over the universe. One does not have to look to a galaxy far, far, away to find stories of horrific suffering. If people with chronic pain had our own country we’d be the single most populated one in the WORLD. We’re not a few random maladapted people.
I hope you have some people in your life that understand your chronic pain and situation. Chronic pain sucks, and it sucks more if you have to go through it alone. If you don’t have anyone, maybe ponder looking at some resources to get in touch with other people who get it, that you don’t feel like you have to ignore your reality or explain it. We’re a nation of people; we’ve got to look out for each other.
And again, thank you for serving.
@@chrisalan9330 You could always give your life to Jesus Christ walk away from your sinful nature and be cleansed and have a happy eternity...that sound good?
Darth Vader’s suit : i am the worst breathing suit ever :(
Iron lung : am I a joke to you
J like it
I
When you realize just how hot anakin was and now he has to hide his natural beauty behind a mask
Anakin was chad
I know this is an older one, but ever since I saw New Hope at the Drive In back in the late 70's, I felt a longing for Vader. I was 3 years old but I remember clearly not understanding why I felt bad for a villian. All these years later, I fully empathize with him. Understanding his temptation and why he ended up giving in. Anakin was torn between two worlds. He really didn't know who was truly his ally.
If I was injured like that, I'd rather die
If i was anakin on mustafar, I'd scream and bed to obi wan to either help me or kill me depending on when
@A Az beg lol, a typo made me chad
I knew Vader's injuries were bad, and that the suit was very poorly built, but dear GOD. The EXTENT of it all, the pain and suffering he was forced through DAILY and without a chance of rest or retreat-
I-
I need to lie down.
Ya... I'd have killed Sideous right then and there, especially after learning that I'd sacrificed it all for a promise he couldn't fulfill. If I must live in hell, I will take YOU with me!
Killing his wife, the younglings, his betrayal of they Jedi,that’s a lot of emotional pain on top of being made into a cyborg, forced to wear a deliberately poorly designed suit just to live and then being too angry with himself for all the things he did deliberately making himself suffer so much and not take the easy way out as a form of self punishment. That one hell of a deep and complicated character.
And to have all this and still have that one tiny ember of good still in him suddenly burst into a star when he had not only a son and daughter and saw his son being electrocuted to death at the hands of the man who manipulated him into all the deeds he had done.
that was the point of the ill formed suit and limbs....to keep vader from doing exactly that. after a few years trekking down the darkside….he would have been a serious rival for palpatine….why not handicap your enemy before he manifests himself as one?
The thing I HATE about Anakin is the emotional abuse he put Padme through even if she was able to escape from him I'm pretty sure Anakin will kill her next boyfriend with ease and Palpatine will back him.
BlackEpyon I'm surprised Darth Vaders pure rage didn't conjure a dark side rift destroying everything in the vicinity.
Luke would be so heartbroken to know his father suffered this every day. 😢
Now having being enlightened with this new knowledge, I can even more sympathize with him. I mean before this I already knew he was always sad and depressed and in pain from the accident on Mustafar. Thanks for the vid man! It was great!
Vader must have been so powerful and skilled as to fight with the speed and power with which he has been shown with wile enduring all of this handicaps.
Anakin really payed the ultimate price for his choices😥
Who cares, he still devastated all others.
@@Decimator-jh4gu he(anakin, now Vader in this video) care.
PHFATT KCOBRA yes praise thy Edgyness
PHFATT KCOBRA *”It’s outrages! It’s unfair!”*
Danny Soto Darth Vader did Anakin died when Mace went through the Windu
Vader breathing for the first time scene in ROTS is amazing. It's the birth of the iconic villain
I started watching the movies for the first time literally 4 days ago and finished them two hours ago, Vader story is amazing, dude knows pain better than most villains.
What if Mace Windu & Anakin arrested Palpatine instead of attempting to execute him?
Josh Harrison do this
Josh Harrison I *AM* THE SENATE
Josh Harrison Yes!
Stupendous wave did this one already.
Also Lord vader Palpatine is not an Ork from the 40k universe it was UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!. Not WAAAAAAGH Thunderzitpoper the foaf (fourth) get your universes straight... lol
"He was living through hell everyday, with Palpatine holding the pitchfork." The way you delivered that line was perfect! It really delivered the full impact of what Vader experienced, and I loved that!
His eardrums having melted in mustafar’s heat
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Had been beyond repair
The best (allbeit disturbing) part of this video is that Anakin was one if not the most powerful jedi of his time even with his robotic hand. With the suit, Vader was still a powerful Sith Lord. Imagine if Anakin had not have been injured at all.
imagine how strong he would be without all these limitations. Yet even with them, he inflicts so much fear and power onto others. So crazy and tragic! :((
Darth Vader pre-suit was millions times stronger than post-suit Vader. Even if Darth Vader gained more knowledge of the dark side after he was put into the suit, the suit held him back so much that he was nearly unable to overpower the Emperor, which was his plan all along. (The rule of 2: The Master rules over the Apprentice until the Apprentice overpowers the Master, thus becoming the Master and taking on a new Apprentice, to be repeated forever) Darth Sidious wanted to break the rule of 2, so he made Darth Vader weaker than him on purpose.
@@ThallanarRabidtooth not true. He wanted the rule of 2 hence why he wanted luke to overtake his own father. Luke wouldve became powerful enough to overthrow him
It's confired that if Anakin didn't lost body parts and didn't burned it would have been twice more powerful than Sidius
@@eren7kruger129 Anakin/Vader are my favorite character but we dont need to see that unless its a video game
@@jg2283 Yes. Sidious abided by the Rule except for the “apprentice overpowering the master” part. His version was “keep your apprentice until you find a better one”. Not unlike Don King.
slave of Watto,slave of his ego,slave of palpatine,free the last day of his life.
This. Its just such a tragic arc.
@@EobardKhan A tragedy is kids getting slain from a monster like him. A tragedy is worlds being destroyed by people like him; of freedom's lost to slavery in the form of an empire he was the second in command of. He brought it all on himself, I have no sympathy whatsoever for him, only those he hurt during his fall to his ego, hubris, hate and fear.
@@shugaroony Vader was betrayed by everyone he ever trusted. The Jedi told him that he would live a good life with him only to neglect him out of fear. Palpatine took advantage of his very natural emotions. Imagine you were in Anakin's shoes. You grkw up being told that you're meant for greatness, that you will be the one to bring balance and order only to be shunned by everyone who are supposed to be your friends and allies. You're told that your human emotions are wrong and you shouldn't feel them because of your status in the world (being a Jedi), not even a man who was your father figure and brother would help you with your emotions. You get married with and you find out your wife is pregnant, but you have these dreams about her suffering and dying and you can't tell anyone because of the whole "no marriage" thing. You feel completely powerless to do anything to help her and then a man who's respected offers you a way to achieve the power to save her. That was Palpatine and Anakin, Palpatine being the weasel he is used Anakin's emotions ,which are a rarity among Jedi apparently, to get him to turn to the dark side. Hell, some people like Obi-wan, Mace Windu, and even Yoda started to see threw Palpatine and continued to let Anakin be drawn further in.
@@simplyhoodie Naw that is straight trash. He was the one up Padme's ass when he wasn't supposed to be. He was definitely sprung. Stop making excuses for this dude.
@@ApexJanitorFirst of all, I don't care tough guy. Second, people are built different and I'm not trying to justify anything he did. Fuck off.
He spent 22 years being tortured. The guy was really strong, I would have to throw sand at his eyes so I could beat him.
Oof. We all know how he feels about sand...
@@BeinIan *little skyguy is gonna cry because I threw sand in his eyes?*
This is truly living hell hat Anakin/Vader went through. I can relatre as I went through spinal reconstruction surgery, which strengthened my back, but left me with nerve damage and worse yet a sense of not feeling as I was before, which led me to rage and depression.
I felt so bad for Anakin , I cried when he was burning alive . I never knew the back story until the prequel movies came out . Now in one week it will all end the legacy of my childhood will become the end . Gone but not forgotten, Carrie Fisher Leia, Peter Mayhew, Chewie, Dave Prowse Darth Vader /Anakin, Kenny Baker, R2D2, Peter Cushing as Grand Mof Tarkin, may you all RIP. I'm a fan forever from 8 years old til my death .
David Prowse is not dead.
He actually said, help me, but the creators muted it, when his mask was putting on he said, help me padme or padme help me, but once again, muted out
Dave Prowse is still alive.
@@ethandonaldson7289 Padme help me, you can actually hear it quite clearly just before the helmet is put on
Charlotte Fernalld hey and I am big Star Wars fan
That moment when you realize Darth Vader died at the age of 45....
Isac Eriksson i think its actually 46 cause he spent 23 years on both sides of the force but I don't know
MrDwagon _ no he dies at 45. Anakin is 9 in TPM which is 32BBY and ROTJ is 4ABY. That makes him 45
Isac Eriksson I read on one site Lucas was gonna make 9 but made him 10 so the gap between him and Padmé wouldn't be that far
Qui-Gon -Jinn just saw a video saying he was born in 42BBY so he could actually be either 9 or 10 in TPM depends on when hes birthday is. So depends on the exact timeline, he could be 46 when he dies... My bad. But hey, you found him, you should know the best
Isac Eriksson it was 46, but yeah, he died pretty young.
Man, would've been easier to make a clone into a sith lord
Where would the absolutely intensive hatred come from then? He was constantly reminded of it with every fiber of his being fueling his rage and connection to the dark side. He was the perfect candidate for Palpatine to make into the strongest sith to ever be known, Everything he did was to fuel and strengthen Vader yet keep him under his control
It's amazing how many injuries he has and yet is still the most badass sith ever created
20 years *20 YEARS* in that living hell I'd have put a lightsaber in my gut on day one
Vader did that against Darth Maul in legends and still lived. Hell he even tried to commit suicide by dropping a building on himself but it didn't work.
@@Luisn_n If vader wanted to kill himself he easily could just stab himself in the head with the lightsaber
@@shredz4000 Vader wanted to go through the pain because of what he did to padme
@@bigchumpster4293 That's not the point, if he truly wanted to kill himself he could easily just stab himself through the head. I was responding to the person who made it seem like even if Vader wanted to kill himself, he couldn't, which is totally bs
If obi wan say the future, hed probably of stuck his lightsaber in anakin's head on Mustafar
I do empathize with Vader, but to Quote Michael Corleone in Godfather III, "This is the price he paid, for the life he chose."
I can empathize to a point. He was in hell. But as you said he basically did it to himself with own selfishness and fear. He had choices to make and he chose. These were his consequences.
It's really sad to see how much he suffered but then I think about the children he has killed and I think all the pain is justified
@@El_ACG Yeah he deserved everything he went through and then some for what he did to those children.
I blame Mace Windu as well as the rest of the Jedi Council
@@swiftstreak98 For what? It is not their fault that he was so hungry for power and position. He wanted everything now now now. Everyone else earned everything they got in the order why shouldn't he?
That was an eye opener. Thank you for making it so descriptive and at such a quick direct duration. Subscribe
No matter the genre of fiction you enjoy it is always nice to have an interesting, well written villain :)
I'm sure several times Vader recalled General Grievous of the Separatists, how he had become more machine than man, and the only thing that troubled him was his breathing.
if i remember i watched an animated clone wars short movie that showed mace windu crushing his lungs or something close. so his breathing bothering him i dont even think is associated with his cybernetics.
Grevious only suffered breathing once his lungs got crushed.
I can see why the one person he truly hated above anyone else was himself. man, that really sucks.
Theres one more man above himself. A guy Named Plushie Martin.
Man I used to watch all ur videos my 9th grade year, always made a cup of hot chocolate before bed and binged these vids dreading going to school the next day.. miss those times to be honest lol
What a horrifyingly vivid description. Makes you think of Vader in a different way.
Vader's thoughts could be summed up as:
"FML......."
"Maybe that wasn't the best decision..."
@@Ryouski "Ya know what? Maybe that wasn't the best idea...but I bet it made for a good news story lol"
Lol
*Next time I will go for the HIGH GROUND*
Pretty much..total nihilism and apathy for his vader existence
"Be careful not to choke on your aspirations..."
Thanks for watching my friends, I hope you found this one particularly interesting. I really enjoyed putting it together and highly recommend reading the now legends Novel.
Someone will with the LE Black Series Force FX Lightsaber giveaway later today on the Facebook page so stay tuned! :)
May The Force Be With You!!!
Star Wars Theory burned of penis
Considering his skill I wonder why he wouldn't just rebuild the suit himself same as he did with this right arm (as you mentioned it)
But yeah. episode 4 exists and the actor's inability to move must be explained in some way.
Star Wars Theory
Star Wars Theory Star Wars Theory please do a theory on what if Vader recieved his new Suite early ....
or what if Ben Kenobi raised luke
..... pls reply .... i know i Said this on almost all of your Vids.....
but i cant sleep without the answere
Star Wars Theory question time! how does one compete in the lightsaber giveaway?
I like the way he's talking calmly and suddenly anakin appear with an 'aaaaaaaa'
I loved the mandelorian season 3 but you made some good points. So many other channels know it pays to hate Star Wars, so they tier it to pieces for clicks. You were balanced and honest, so thumbs up.
If I had to live like that, I would rather perform sepukku with a lightsaber
You can't perform sepukku on someone that is not yourself though
Maul grabbed him from behind. He stabbed through himself to stab maul.
He means he sepukku'd himself, to stab maul who as behind him.
damn
I kinda always wondered why he didn't.
•After being struck down by one he considered his best friend and finding he slaughtered his wife and potentially unborn children, now he's forced to live in a heavy, uncomfortable, inefficient coffin.•
•God FUCKING damn it.•
Serves him right, only I dont believe you can really become good after killing billions worth of beings by just saving your son.
@@darthbane2669 Allow me to educate you in how The Force works in the Star Wars universe. And leave modern 2019 values at the door before you step into my lecture room. Using The Force to do harm, taints you. But it is possible to clean yourself by just one selfless act. The Force isn't sentient, it doesn't "judge" you, you simply become more and more tainted the more you bend it to your selfish needs. Vader cleansed himself when he chose his son over his suffered indoctrination by Sidious. Anakin "let go" of his hatred, that hate was what kept him in the Dark Side. Did Anakin become "good" in the end? In The Force, he become pure. And "good", is simply something decided by social stigmas, and doesn't matter in regards of Light/Dark side paragon. "Goodness" is nothing more than moral fabrications meant to set community values between sentient lifeforms, it has no magical powers. I would've presumed someone with the name "Darth Bane" had more knowledge about this.
@@darthbane2669 he was manipulated by palpatine and rejected by all those he loved and respected. So much so that he couldnt even see clearly anymore. And now he is being tortured every single day for over 20 years and you think thats fair?
Probably the greatest character/story arc in film history
Its truly a tragic story, almost biblical on how negative emotions can lead to terrible outcomes. Fear really does lead to negative outcomes, its not natural to to feel fear. He just wanted to save her and was terrified of losing her, that fear led him closer to losing her and trapped him in a hell for the rest of his life.😔
I sympathize with Vader it makes him more realistic and shows why he turned back to the light side of the force
"Little more than a whisper"
He was screaming on the medical table, though.🤔
Yes his voice box died from the smoke of his burning body
That was just his voice modulater. His real voice was barely a whisper.
yes he was screaming but his scream was also bearly a whisper it problely took all he had to scream.
I loved this book, so sad it's Legends, now. The convo he had with Palpy where he's all "you call this victory?" felt like a last bit of Anakin complaining a bit, I could even visualize his burnt face saying it. Was a good book.
And he still became what essentially is an angry human tank! Learning these injuries just makes me think Vader is even more of a badass than he always was.
He also felt more like Anakin when he piloted his tie fighter...he often turned off the gravity system so he would be weightless and escape the confines of his momentarily...escape from the clumsiness and awkward movements of his suit...
