Love man. I don’t think many people feel that kind of love. It’s strong. Everyone says he was just horny blah blah blah. But if that was the case he could have fucked anyone. He loved her. He says “please just help me save her. I can’t live without her”. He truly was in love with Padme.
@@MrIGHOSH1 i personally think that Vader took her life force in order to survive. He found a way to save himself from death, but by sacrificing what he loves which is like the inverse of the Darth Plagueis story
@@WafflePrince It's all up to interpretation but I never liked the idea of him taking her life force, cause obviously he would rather die and keep her alive than live with her passing. Palpatine killing her makes the most sense because that was the very last thing Anakin cared about and without her he can completely tap into his hate, anger, and destruction that would soon follow. Hence Palps smile we see kinda signaling in getting everything that he wanted with complete control over Anakin.

Star wars iii revenge of the sith The Padme Amidala Skywalker is right about the Anakin skywalker is still good inside him. Then Padme Amidala Skywalker died. When the Anakin and the Padme Amidala Skywalker in force ghost in the youtube in here I am.
1:09 For a few seconds, Palpatine is clearly afraid to deliver the bad news. Anakin had joined him on the sole promise to save Padmé. He could turn against the Emperor at any time to kill him. However, when Vader starts to walk out try to cry / scream, Palpatine knows Vader is still his puppet, so he smiles to his victory
@@apollyon_616 unless there's some disney shananaganz... not true. "You are like a painter gone blind. A composer gone deaf. You can remember where the power WAS, but the power you can touch, is only a memory.... and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow... in the end... you do not even want to. Because the shadow understands you... the shadow... forgives you." Its a mixture of him not being accustomed to his body yet, and deep down not wanting to kill palpatine, because palpatine is all there is left for him. In Legends Palpatine vs Vader is still very much a debate. Yea yea "well lucas said 80%" okay cool. But Vaders biggest weakness against Palpatine was always palpatines manipulation of him. And it was stated numerous times in various legends material that vader was stronger than Anakin ever was. If the two were to ever REALLY fight, no mind games involved, regardless who you think would win or why... nobody is putting anybody in check.
It gets memed so much but this scene is so incredibly full of pure, raw emotion. Imagine you just hear your wife had just died with your child almost born, how would that feel?
Yes and no. Yes the story by Lucas sounds amazing on paper but no because his directing and its execution wasn’t quite that good. But luckily Clone Wars did redeemed these movies and made it even more compelling.
The prequels showed us a lot more lightsaber battles and fighters , the original trilogy we only had 3 lightsaber wielders kenobi, Vader and Luke that’s it , the prequels have at least 5x their numbers way more epic
If you really look at this scene in depth...Padme and Anakin died together, only Anakin died in a different form. A form of a ruling Sith tyrant. And you can also hear the final words of Anakin inside the helmet when he asked about Padme. So techaniclly it was Anakin for a few seconds and then finally evolved more into the Vader we know. Leaving his past behind him. And it was true what Padme said before she dies. "I know there still good in him" Obi Wan knew it, Luke knew it and deep down I think Anakin knew it too. Palpatine didn't drive the good out of him entirely like Luke said in ROTJ. Which is why it makes Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi connect to deeply with each other in my opinion.
Because he knew everything he did. All those bad things, betraying everyone he knew and his loved ones was all for nothing he got played, and now that padme is gone forever and his unborn child. So was his humanity, then he fully embraced the dark side as it was the only thing he had to live for.
Actually obi wan didn't believe in the good that was left in anakin. In fact, as he was watching palpatine torture luke with force lightning, he lost hope, thinking luke was gonna die, but then was amazed when vader suddenly grabbed palpatine and yeeted him into the shaft. He then realized the extent of his and yoda's failures as jedi
I'd like to believe that Sidious's disbelief at 1:08 was genuine. Even after everything he endured there was still Light within Anakin because of Padme. So it had to be snuffed out in the worst manner possible to make way for Vader.
Are you serious? He was faking it. How could you possibly not understand the point of this whole scene, then make a comment about it as if you're smart and noticed something clever when you're actually SO far off base, MY sheer disbelief is off the charts.
He's a lying scumbag and ruined anakin's life for his own selfish interests I wish they had made a sequel to this movie where anakin kills him but sadly this is the last one in the trilogy :(
This scene was so well done. John Williams also knows how to make a scene 100x more epic. The death of Padme and the rise of Darth Vader. The apparent true end of Anakin Skywalker until he redeemed himself by killing the Emperor much later. (Did Sidious actually manipulate the force to save Vader’s life by killing Padme or did she actually die from a broken heart or that force choke?)
They set up sidious using the force to save vader with the story of "Darth Plagueis the Wise" who could prevent the death of those he cared about. A power you can not learn from a jedi. Why would a life saving force power be rejected out of hand by the jedi? Because in order to save Vader, Sidious had to kill Padme. IMO the "died of a broken heart" idea is ridiculous when there is an in universe explanation that covers all the bases.
@@MistrDamige Yeah I thought it was daft for a long time, "Lost the will to live?". But when I heard this theory and looked again, it makes sense as the mask is lowered onto Anakin and then Padme dies. 2 beats become 1 and in the death of both of them Robotic Vader rises. Also the Emperor is somehow aware Padme is dead for sure even though they are quite far away so he must be attuned - though intriguingly not Luke and Leia

Honestly the saddest part is when Vader literally crushes everything in the room, you can clearly tell he wants to even kill Palpatine, after all his plan he told padme was that he'd overthrow palps and rule with her. He is now left in a room with the one man he wanted to overthrow, and who just told him that the one he wanted to rule with is dead by his own hand. I feel at that moment any semblance of a plan left his mind and he wanted to crush palps then and there, but he couldn't, because palpatine was so much stronger in the force, and he smiles at the attempt.
I believe in the comics vader actually force pushes palps after the his scream and i always thought palpatine smiled because he's glad that anakin still has a lot of power left in him
@Kyra actually that’s only half correct, as in the darth Vader comic he immediately force push Palpatine to the wall and blames him for failing to save Padme like he promised. Palpatine then shifts the blame back to Vader, claiming that since he killed Padme even the dark side couldn’t bring her back. Palpatine then use force lightning on Vader, punishing him for daring to use the force on THE Emperor, while also telling Vader that if he so much as lift a finger on the Emperor again, he will finish what Kenobi couldn’t, foreshadowing ROTJ.
Palpatine smiled because he put Anakin in deep depression. That is all the devil wants to do, put people in depression. Palpatine truly deserves the most painful of torment.
I think when padme died a part of anikan died with her and he became a slave to sideous. losing all hope after her passing. in episode 6 he even told luke it was to late for him now as if he gave up hope after he lost everything to sideous believing his promise which was a lie that he could have saved her. But when luke showed him the truth he finally found the will to be himself again and finished what he was meant to do and bring balance to the force by taking out sideous. it was almost redemption for him and padme and everyone he made him kill through his deceptions. Thats atleast how i saw it before disney came into the picture.
The way James Earl Jones delivers that "I?.. I couldn't have. She was alive, I felt it!" is just... beyond words man. So fucking powerful. So much emotion in those few words.
The powerful music and imagery here is so profound. It shows the painful irony of the dark side. Anakin did what he did to save his wife, but since it was done with the selfish desire and motives of the dark side, he rises from his wounds, and she falls in death. The dark side is truly only capable of saving yourself, not others. One of the best Star Wars scenes. Brilliant.
A little detail I never noticed at 1:21, Sidious backs away when Vader says "I couldn't have". You can see he's genuinely afraid that Vader is going to flip out about the fact the entire reason he turned to the Dark Side has been rendered null and void and turn on him. Then his evil grin when Vader screams "noooo" as it's confirmed that Vader's spirit is broken and he belongs to him now. Such a fantastic scene.
This shit will always get me, Anakin went through all of what he went through just to have her die and to have him stuck in the dark side as sidious' apprentice
George Lucas is brilliant. The exact moment after Padme dies, Darth Vader is being risen from surgery. Almost as if Anakin & Padme died together, by the evil of Darth Vader.
It's so dumb. What if Anakin suddenly turned to him in that moment? Aaaaawkwaaaard. As if the most evil and powerful person in the universe would risk losing everything by smirking behind his pupil's back like that. People don't do that in real life. It's such poor writing + acting + directing. Even within one of the poorest scenes in the whole prequel trilogy. This is right up there with any Jar-Jar scene.
1:05 will never forget how hard i began to cry as as 5yo witnessing this, my hero, my parents trying to console me that it’s okay the movie is supposed to be sad, my personal anchor in Star Wars, begging for the only thing he needed 🥲🙃
I'm not even sure they want to try it. If you think about it this at that time was the sixth and last film of the franchise.Despite episode 1,2 fans were still pumped for the origin of vader,it took a looot of build up to come to this moment.The new sequels,despite being mediocre imo,they lack both quality and quantity to pull off something like that.Even If you love kylo and rey,I think their story arc was overshadowed by luke leia han chewie.I would love to be surprised by abrams but I doubt it.In episode 7 the studio focused on fan service,and now after the dissapointment of TLJ i don't think they will do anything different. In future trilogies maybe
@@silviu94 Yes exactly,I don't pay this much attention to the new sequels to be honest,but I definitely see the weak spots and speaking of fan fiction,theres a channel called "Star Wars Theory" that posted a 12 minute anthology video of darth vader.You should check it out (If you haven't already lol) it's pretty good !!
@@shady8273 that's a pretty cool demonstration of his power he's so locked on to padme that despite her having a normal amount of mediclorians he can detect if she's there or not from distances greater than normal
The smirk Palpatine makes at 1:43 proves that he got what he wanted. A Sith Lorde, cause he knew that when Padme died. Anakin died with her too. Giving a full birth of Darth Vader with more anger and hate
Absolutely nothing in the Star Wars universe sadder than anakins life. Everything he endured and went through. Doubted by the Jedi,fooled by sidious,lost everything and everyone he loved
Indeed, quite the tragedy, not just for Anakin, but for everyone's lives that were negatively effected as a consequence. How might things have turned out differently for everyone, if Anakin had never allowed himself to be seduced by the dark side?
It was until he found hope again through Luke. Through his son’s love towards him he was finally free from the nightmare. It cost him his own life but it saved his son
The way their paths are divided from each other by fate, the way she dies at the same time that Vader is "born", at the same time that Anakin also "dies" in a way, is all so poetic and tragic. George is a genius.
1:44 the fact how Palpatine smiled at Vaders anger of his beloved wife being killed by the person she loved is so evil, it was part of his plan as well and that’s when he knew Darth Vader was born
@@BMK500 Don't get me wrong, as Natalie Portman is pretty awesome, but is she awesome enough to justify a lifetime of pain? If Star Wars was real, rather than just a work of fiction, then I would say that the God(s) treated Anakin quite unfairly. No prize can really compensate for an eternity of pain.
Whole body suffered extensive burns, limbs amputated, respiratory and digestive tracts possibly fried, all while entombed in the suit. The itch and phantom pain must be horrendous. They kept him alive in this state to manipulate his pain and anger into purpose for the Empire.
After watching The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, this whole scene is a heartbreaking tragedy. Everything that Anakin believed in, and everything that Padmé and the Jedi Order fought, bled, and died for was all in vain. And they played right into Darth Sidious’ hands.
Anybody who hasn’t read the Revenge of the Sith book, is really missing out on how deep this scene is. Vaders “NOOOOO” in the movie seems goofy, but read this same scene in the novel and it makes it a truly devastating scene. If anything, listen to the audio book or even just this scene from the audio book. It’s absolutely chilling.
"it seems, somehow, palpatine returned." "HE-HE COULDN'T HAVE! I KILLED HIM, I FELT HIS DEMISE! NNNGGGHHHHH-" "dark science....cloning....secrets only the sith knew. even though a lot of people besides the sith knew and Disney just ignores the entire lore." *random objects breaking* "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!......."

@@Ash-ty4qp Probably because it's such a horrible thing to do,is why it's repeatedly brought up. Even if Anakin had decided to join Palpatine as he did,he 100% could have spared the kids at least.Pretty sure Vader could have killed the adult jedi there and walked away,and Palpatine would have been none the wiser.
It's why Vader is so angry all the time and driven by the darkside, as well as looking like an old man in his 40s for how long the hatred consumed him.
This is without a doubt, one of the most gut wrenching scenes in the series. The fact that he loved her so much and went through all of that, only to lose her, and the children she bore for him. Whats even more sinister, is the emperor, grimacing as he turns the knife telling Vader he killed her. His scream in anguish was a killer because he knew in that moment he lost everything, including his soul to the evil emperor. Just gut wrenching.
Now that I think about it Vader did learn the power to cheat death but at the cost of padme's life. He drained the life from her to stay alive, normally this isn't possible but a similar thing was done by darth bane to take his fathers life. Plus factor in Anakin's connection to the force and his fixation with staying alive for her sake using his anger he literally used her to stay alive..
Personally, I think it was Sideous, and by a broader stretch, I think thats how he killed Plageous as well, to give himself the vitality and power of two sith
Yes, Annakin was in disbelief that he killed her, he was right- He didn't. It was his actions that caused her heart to break, him turning to the dark side & killing younglings. She knew he was excited about the baby coming- He didn't know that they had twins, not until after he discovered that Luke has/ had a sister. That was unusual. He sensed Luke, but not Leia- not right away. 💔
It wasn’t Anakin that killed Padmé it was Palpatine who did it. After Anakin nearly burned to death on Mustafar, he used the the Force Power of Midi-Chlorian Manipulation to transfer Padmé’s life to save Anakin from dying until his Life Support Suit was online.
it makes more sense if anakin unconsciously transfered padmes life to himself, because that relates to the darth plagueis story, exept the opposite, vader could save himself but not the ones he loved
The events leading up to this point is a reminder for me of how what we fear will appear. The whole reason Skywalker fell into darkness is because he feared the death of his wife. The actions born of that fear, lead to this moment. I have never seen such a powerful example of this concept anywhere else as of yet.
What's very clever about this is that while Sidious is undertaking his machinations to kill Padme to preserve/raise Vader, he doesen't realise the Light side machinations by the Whills or whoever have also designed that death also gives rise to a new life - in this case Luke and Leia. It's fascinating that just as the Jedi didn't see the Sith plot, not only was Sidious unaware of Luke and Leia until Luke destroyed the Death Star but in Roth most particularly he couldn't sense Luke around and it was Vader who sensed Luke was on the ship specifically.
0:35 one of if not the most chilling music of Star Wars history. I felt absolutely stunned as a kid when watching it the first time, realizing that anakin was Darth vader. It truly was traumatizing
You thought you were saving your wife. You gave into your fear, not realizing that was the only action that would bring about your nightmares. All of a sudden, you wake up almost in a new body, out of a bad dream, only to realize you lost the person it was all for while you lost yourself. And the worst part, you did it under the manipulation of Satan himself. Now, not powerful enough for revenge… maybe never. You lean into his teachings after giving up hope. The only thing left is your fear and hatred… and hatred for yourself, the strongest kind, because your fear has come true… you are alone.
"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
In this scene I'd read that even Palpatine was holding back Vaders power as everything was being crushed around Vader with the force. Palpatine was smiling because he was feeling Vaders power.
Palpatines smile at 1:45 he accomplished wat he wanted, make anakin think turning 2 the darkside will save padme, but he made him kill her, and all the jedi at the temple were dead. With that smile, he doesnt even care about anakin, only making him do all his dirty work!! Grrrr hes so damn evil
I don’t know why people hate this meme or scene. He just found that his wife, the sole reason why he did all of this, is dead and is filled with hatred, sadness, and shock. I would’ve done the exact same thing.
@Reservoir Frogs No, he's bad at writing. Had he had good ones help him, the prequels would have been much more successful and clearer in telling the story. He knew what he was doing, just needed those writers.
@@redXmamba His writing isn't terrible and the story turned out pretty damn good. He really just needed some people to do a pass on some of the dialogue, it's not the greatest at times.
@@redXmamba Writing isn't just dialogue though, it's story order, scene choice, symmetry between scenes and so much more. He just falls short in the dialogue area. That is literally the only thing that needed fixing.
What’s most heartbreaking is that he only asks about his wife and doesn’t acknowledge about his disfigurement.
Love man. I don’t think many people feel that kind of love. It’s strong. Everyone says he was just horny blah blah blah. But if that was the case he could have fucked anyone. He loved her. He says “please just help me save her. I can’t live without her”. He truly was in love with Padme.
That's why he did all this
Very tragic. He committed all those atrocities for absolutely nothing
What worst is that image 00:01 is was the Anakin's dream. Means that Anakin dream was him killed Padme

The powerful music and imagery here is so profound. It shows the painful irony of the dark side. Anakin did what he did to save his wife, but since it was done with the selfish desire and motives of the dark side, he rises from his wounds, and she falls in death. The dark side is truly only capable of saving yourself, not others. One of the best Star Wars scenes. Brilliant.
Yeah, it is that revelation that Anakin truly understands the treachery of the Dark Side. Because his self... will be all he'll ever have...
"the dark side is truly only capable of saving yourself, not others"
Tell that to Darth Plagueis
A little detail I never noticed at 1:21, Sidious backs away when Vader says "I couldn't have". You can see he's genuinely afraid that Vader is going to flip out about the fact the entire reason he turned to the Dark Side has been rendered null and void and turn on him. Then his evil grin when Vader screams "noooo" as it's confirmed that Vader's spirit is broken and he belongs to him now. Such a fantastic scene.
This shit will always get me, Anakin went through all of what he went through just to have her die and to have him stuck in the dark side as sidious' apprentice
In other words - She died from heartbreak because everything Anakin went through - breaking her heart and turning to evil
Padme's Last Words: There's good in him......
Anakin's Last Words: You were right.....
Kylo Ren: Ben Solo is dead.
Han Solo: My son is alive.
George Lucas is brilliant. The exact moment after Padme dies, Darth Vader is being risen from surgery. Almost as if Anakin & Padme died together, by the evil of Darth Vader.
0:35 Hear the lyrics say ' I am a Sith lord so why couldn't I save her?'
Wtf, and really
RIP James Earl Jones.
0:34-0:49 Some people say they can hear the words " I am a sith lord, but I could not save her." I sorta here it
I heard it
indeed
Great, now I can’t unhear it
Heard it ✨✨✨
@@GamerKid64😂
1:43 this bastard is going to laugh and smile at Anakin's pain
Because some believe Palpatine was responsible for Padme death.
In his anger he killed her.
Of course he does. Palpatine/Sidious is the Star Wars Version of Satan
No, he’s smiling at the power Vader is displaying. He knows he picked the best apprentice possible and is proud of him. In a sick, sith like way
It's so dumb. What if Anakin suddenly turned to him in that moment? Aaaaawkwaaaard. As if the most evil and powerful person in the universe would risk losing everything by smirking behind his pupil's back like that. People don't do that in real life. It's such poor writing + acting + directing. Even within one of the poorest scenes in the whole prequel trilogy. This is right up there with any Jar-Jar scene.
1:05 will never forget how hard i began to cry as as 5yo witnessing this, my hero, my parents trying to console me that it’s okay the movie is supposed to be sad, my personal anchor in Star Wars, begging for the only thing he needed 🥲🙃
RIP James Earl Jones 🥺 when I heard, this was my literal reaction. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rest un peace James Earl Jones we Will miss you, may the force be with you always
If Disney will ever pull a powerful scene like this one... it will redeem its sins. And it will have the fans respect.
I'm not even sure they want to try it. If you think about it this at that time was the sixth and last film of the franchise.Despite episode 1,2 fans were still pumped for the origin of vader,it took a looot of build up to come to this moment.The new sequels,despite being mediocre imo,they lack both quality and quantity to pull off something like that.Even If you love kylo and rey,I think their story arc was overshadowed by luke leia han chewie.I would love to be surprised by abrams but I doubt it.In episode 7 the studio focused on fan service,and now after the dissapointment of TLJ i don't think they will do anything different.
In future trilogies maybe
@@markoskalapothareas1423 And it's true. The sequels have all kinds of messed up weak plots, it's like a poor fan fiction but with high budget on fx
@@silviu94 Yes exactly,I don't pay this much attention to the new sequels to be honest,but I definitely see the weak spots
and speaking of fan fiction,theres a channel called "Star Wars Theory" that posted a 12 minute anthology video of darth vader.You should check it out (If you haven't already lol) it's pretty good !!
Do you realise Lucasfilm make the movies Disney just fund them write
Kylo does what his granpa cant. Saved her
Gives me chills everytime 1:42
InSidious smiling makes me angry 😡
0:01-0:26 I can’t even imagine if Darth Vader saw Padme dying while saying that.
Rax Lex he would kill everyone
I think the self hate would destroy him
He can feel her presence with the Force, that's why he asked if she is safe and alright... He couldn't feel her.
@@shady8273 that's a pretty cool demonstration of his power he's so locked on to padme that despite her having a normal amount of mediclorians he can detect if she's there or not from distances greater than normal
@@shady8273if that's true wouldn't he feel the twins are alive he only learned about them when they become adults
Seeing Darth Vader being risen still gives me chills, especially with the choir in the back ground.
During padme death, I could feel a heartbeat through headphone
Oh yeah same
was it padme's heartbeat?
or was it Luke & Leia's?
The smirk Palpatine makes at 1:43 proves that he got what he wanted. A Sith Lorde, cause he knew that when Padme died. Anakin died with her too. Giving a full birth of Darth Vader with more anger and hate
Esa sonrisa de Palpatine, que maldito que es. Disfrutó ver el sufrimiento de Anakin
Sith Lorde 😂😂😂😂
Ya ya ya I am Lorde ya ya
Absolutely nothing in the Star Wars universe sadder than anakins life. Everything he endured and went through. Doubted by the Jedi,fooled by sidious,lost everything and everyone he loved
Indeed, quite the tragedy, not just for Anakin, but for everyone's lives that were negatively effected as a consequence. How might things have turned out differently for everyone, if Anakin had never allowed himself to be seduced by the dark side?
It was until he found hope again through Luke. Through his son’s love towards him he was finally free from the nightmare. It cost him his own life but it saved his son
@@Fritz_SchlunderDarth maul and Count Dooku are joint 2nd
The way their paths are divided from each other by fate, the way she dies at the same time that Vader is "born", at the same time that Anakin also "dies" in a way, is all so poetic and tragic. George is a genius.
1:44 the fact how Palpatine smiled at Vaders anger of his beloved wife being killed by the person she loved is so evil, it was part of his plan as well and that’s when he knew Darth Vader was born
Anakins whole life was pain, and the very moment he physically becomes Vader he is greeted with pain once again.
When he heard Padme died, Anakin died too
Idk he got to marry and knock up Natalie portman so it had its high points
@@BMK500 very good point
@@BMK500 Don't get me wrong, as Natalie Portman is pretty awesome, but is she awesome enough to justify a lifetime of pain? If Star Wars was real, rather than just a work of fiction, then I would say that the God(s) treated Anakin quite unfairly. No prize can really compensate for an eternity of pain.
Whole body suffered extensive burns, limbs amputated, respiratory and digestive tracts possibly fried, all while entombed in the suit. The itch and phantom pain must be horrendous. They kept him alive in this state to manipulate his pain and anger into purpose for the Empire.
After watching The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, this whole scene is a heartbreaking tragedy. Everything that Anakin believed in, and everything that Padmé and the Jedi Order fought, bled, and died for was all in vain. And they played right into Darth Sidious’ hands.
Yeah
1:45 Empy all happy and giggly that Vader lost everything.
It's more like he was happy that the Dark Side was still strong with Vader as he was enraged and destroying everything in the room.
What I love is that they made Darth Vaders voice pitch slightly higher because of how young he is here. Good attention to detail
Darth vaders first and last words were "noooo". Anakins last words before becoming darth vader and his last words before dying were about his family
Was thinking about this scene at work today for like 30 minutes . I shed a tear or two . " I ? - I couldn't have... SHE WAS ALIVE , I FELT IT" !!! 😥
Anybody who hasn’t read the Revenge of the Sith book, is really missing out on how deep this scene is. Vaders “NOOOOO” in the movie seems goofy, but read this same scene in the novel and it makes it a truly devastating scene. If anything, listen to the audio book or even just this scene from the audio book. It’s absolutely chilling.
Can you share the link to the novel?
Link please? 😌
When you realise Kylo might have killed Grogu “is he safe, is he alright??”
It seems in Disney’s anger, they killed grogu and create the just horrible sequels
@@Theleaver5088 They? They couldn’t have. He was alive! I felt it!
"it seems, somehow, palpatine returned."
"HE-HE COULDN'T HAVE! I KILLED HIM, I FELT HIS DEMISE! NNNGGGHHHHH-"
"dark science....cloning....secrets only the sith knew. even though a lot of people besides the sith knew and Disney just ignores the entire lore."
*random objects breaking*
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!......."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
He didn't. The Book of Boba Fett confirmed that.
This is the moment when Anakin lost the battle with Darth Vader

I guess most of everything darth vader was doing in 4, 5, and 6 was because he was grieving over padme's death
Still killed them younglings tho
@@katmc4237 that literally never fails to be brought up when any sympathy is given for anakin lol
@@Ash-ty4qp Probably because it's such a horrible thing to do,is why it's repeatedly brought up.
Even if Anakin had decided to join Palpatine as he did,he 100% could have spared the kids at least.Pretty sure Vader could have killed the adult jedi there and walked away,and Palpatine would have been none the wiser.
@@richiefranklin76 I agree. My comment was a while ago but I definitely don’t resent sb admitting his ruthlessness and cruelty beside his suffering
It's why Vader is so angry all the time and driven by the darkside, as well as looking like an old man in his 40s for how long the hatred consumed him.
Obi wan, Yoda, anakin and padme had one of the saddest endings ever
This is without a doubt, one of the most gut wrenching scenes in the series. The fact that he loved her so much and went through all of that, only to lose her, and the children she bore for him. Whats even more sinister, is the emperor, grimacing as he turns the knife telling Vader he killed her. His scream in anguish was a killer because he knew in that moment he lost everything, including his soul to the evil emperor. Just gut wrenching.
Even the fucking Emperor backed up when he told him about Padme. Vader was a boss
Vader is a legend one of the best villains of all time.
Daenerys: Is King's Landing safe?
Drogon: It seems, in your anger we burned it
Daenerys : I couldn't have. It was alive, I felt it !
@@Theleaver5088 nooooo!
@@Theleaver5088 "master Skywalker there's too many of them what are we going to do"
When Darth Vader was rising
I'd imagine him thinking
"Don't worry Padme, I'll save you"
Now that I think about it Vader did learn the power to cheat death but at the cost of padme's life. He drained the life from her to stay alive, normally this isn't possible but a similar thing was done by darth bane to take his fathers life. Plus factor in Anakin's connection to the force and his fixation with staying alive for her sake using his anger he literally used her to stay alive..
Personally, I think it was Sideous, and by a broader stretch, I think thats how he killed Plageous as well, to give himself the vitality and power of two sith
Vader: Where is padme?
Emperor: Um
Vader:Is she safe?
Emperor gulps: Umm
Vader: Is she alright?
Emperor literally shitting himself: UMMMMM
everyone complains and makes fun of the NOOOOOOO! scene. but 1:21 he is just in disbelief and agony.
Yes, Annakin was in disbelief that he killed her, he was right- He didn't. It was his actions that caused her heart to break, him turning to the dark side & killing younglings. She knew he was excited about the baby coming- He didn't know that they had twins, not until after he discovered that Luke has/ had a sister. That was unusual. He sensed Luke, but not Leia- not right away. 💔
Vader and palpatine disliked.
arekg manash and maul
Kylo
And Grievous
And Dooku
Its Those Whiny Prequel Haters
It wasn’t Anakin that killed Padmé it was Palpatine who did it. After Anakin nearly burned to death on Mustafar, he used the the Force Power of Midi-Chlorian Manipulation to transfer Padmé’s life to save Anakin from dying until his Life Support Suit was online.
That was false if I remember right
That’s a theory dumbass it’s not canon
Padmé died from grief/depression. From Anakin’s betrayal and probably some mixed hormones from giving birth to twins
Yea, palps had to have done it. she was alive while he should have been dead
it makes more sense if anakin unconsciously transfered padmes life to himself, because that relates to the darth plagueis story, exept the opposite, vader could save himself but not the ones he loved
The tone in his voice when he’s saying where’s Padme hit different
This is much more relatable now that my mom had died. I screamed noooooo probably just as loud as vader when I found out.
Yep, tell Me about it
I'm sorry 4 your loss..
The events leading up to this point is a reminder for me of how what we fear will appear. The whole reason Skywalker fell into darkness is because he feared the death of his wife. The actions born of that fear, lead to this moment. I have never seen such a powerful example of this concept anywhere else as of yet.
His new suit looks badass.
Uncomfortable as fuck but you’re right tho
What's very clever about this is that while Sidious is undertaking his machinations to kill Padme to preserve/raise Vader, he doesen't realise the Light side machinations by the Whills or whoever have also designed that death also gives rise to a new life - in this case Luke and Leia. It's fascinating that just as the Jedi didn't see the Sith plot, not only was Sidious unaware of Luke and Leia until Luke destroyed the Death Star but in Roth most particularly he couldn't sense Luke around and it was Vader who sensed Luke was on the ship specifically.
Hey didn’t you reply to a comment
0:35 one of if not the most chilling music of Star Wars history.
I felt absolutely stunned as a kid when watching it the first time, realizing that anakin was Darth vader.

RIP James Earl Jones ! ❤
1:28 that sound he makes is truly horrifying. Crying, rage, and pure despair. He lost everything.
I only know just realized how tragic his response was, the only life that he detected from his dead wife was the life of his children
The fact that Luke/Leia were crying after Padme's death killed me..
Medically, she’s completely healthy. For reasons we can’t explain, we are losing her.
Well, Palpatine stool her life to maintain Anakin alive during the surgery to create Darth Vader
Fun Fact from comics : after nooooo Vader attacked Palpatine but he got destroyed with lighting
Love how sidious is just smiling in the back like this is exactly what he wanted
“No,”Darth Vader said calmly.
You thought you were saving your wife. You gave into your fear, not realizing that was the only action that would bring about your nightmares. All of a sudden, you wake up almost in a new body, out of a bad dream, only to realize you lost the person it was all for while you lost yourself. And the worst part, you did it under the manipulation of Satan himself. Now, not powerful enough for revenge… maybe never. You lean into his teachings after giving up hope. The only thing left is your fear and hatred… and hatred for yourself, the strongest kind, because your fear has come true… you are alone.
"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
In this scene I'd read that even Palpatine was holding back Vaders power as everything was being crushed around Vader with the force. Palpatine was smiling because he was feeling Vaders power.
padme saying there's still good in him after getting chocked out almost made me cry
Palpatines smile at 1:45 he accomplished wat he wanted, make anakin think turning 2 the darkside will save padme, but he made him kill her, and all the jedi at the temple were dead. With that smile, he doesnt even care about anakin, only making him do all his dirty work!! Grrrr hes so damn evil
Padme’s death is one of the most saddening scenes in cinema history, hands down 💔
Padme died of sadness, because She was present at the greatest lightsaber duel of all time but missed it!!!
1:26 when you don’t have any classes with her or the boys
It’s sad that the twins could feel their mothers death through the force
1:21 well, it kinda was your fault that Padme died, Anakin. She was never the same after your choked her!
This was the most heartbreaking scene of all time Anakin and Padme deserved better 😢😭😭 i cried
Definitely, especially and mostly Anakin!
His tear ducts are burned. He can't even cry in sorrow.
Death of Anakin & Padme, the birth of Vader, Luke, and Leia. If this ain’t the best transition to a new saga, I don’t know what is
I think Padme would be even more heartbreaking if she ever sees her husband being deformed and become more machine than a man.
I love how Palpatine is just smiling while Vader is overcome with grief at 1:43
Hes evil and cruel
Will do anything for power and make others do his bidding
1:46 Me when I find out how long it's gonna take until "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire" comes out.
I don’t know why people hate this meme or scene. He just found that his wife, the sole reason why he did all of this, is dead and is filled with hatred, sadness, and shock. I would’ve done the exact same thing.
@1:42 when you lose in tribal wars
When the operating table completes lifting Vader to his feet it sounds like a jail cell door slamming shut.
"She was alive I felt it" breaks me
Well that choking cause her heart to be broken palpatine making anikin or darth vader depressed his wife is gone
Real emotional knowing Padmé dies (but not before knowing there's still good in Anakin), while Darth Vader is born.

@Reservoir Frogs No, he's bad at writing. Had he had good ones help him, the prequels would have been much more successful and clearer in telling the story. He knew what he was doing, just needed those writers.
@@redXmamba His writing isn't terrible and the story turned out pretty damn good. He really just needed some people to do a pass on some of the dialogue, it's not the greatest at times.
@@noahjessup9342 Besides thinking his writing isn't good, that's pretty much what I said. He needed better guidance.
