    15. Esempio video 7: La morte di Darth Vader (Imperial March)
    La morte di Darth Vader, che è ormai tornato ad essere Anakin Skywalker dopo aver abbandonato il lato oscuro, è sottolineata da una versione trasfigurata e agonizzante della Marcia Imperiale, raggiungendo quello che è probabilmente il più alto risultato musicale di tutta la trilogia originale.

      What gets me about this scene is Darth Vader is just an old man after everything making it seem like he is a God this immortal machine turns out to just be an old man with a lot of sadness regret

  • @seanrogers212

    At first we all thought Vader was pretty much a souless man, but when you take off his mask he is just a sad old man realizing the errors of his actions, thats what makes Vader an awesome character

    • @DIESEL0759
      @DIESEL0759 8 років тому +306

      Probably the scariest part. A broken old man who has spent most of his adult life trapped in armor he cannot remove is all that is left of Anakin Skywalker, finally realizing that he went wrong too late.

    • @Manny-rv2qr
      @Manny-rv2qr 8 років тому +220

      You know what's crazy is that he technically wasn't an old man. Anakin was 42 years old when he died

    • @Manny-rv2qr
      @Manny-rv2qr 8 років тому +140

      +DIESEL0759 well he was nine years old when qui gon met him. One episode 2 that's ten years later which indicates he was 19 during the attack of the clones and revenge of the sith is 3 years after episode 2 so he was 22 years old when he became Darth Vader. So the return of the Jedi and new hope is 20 years later. So adding it up is 42 years of age.

    6 movies of SW are about Anakin, his life and redemption. People hate prequels, but I like them.
    Its tragedy of Vader, he dies and becomes force ghost. Forever without Padme

    • @ArvelDreth
      @ArvelDreth 8 років тому +36

      I just didn't like that the prequels were mostly all about getting Anakin in the suit. Something we already knew was coming. It just made the whole thing much more predictable. I don't think the prequels were terrible, I just think that the story could have developed in a slightly more interesting way beyond just the story of Anakin, especially since we never really got to see the full development of him as a character. It was never really shown what made him into who he was other than his relationship with Padme and some of his training with Obi-Wan. Because of the massive time skip between the movies, there's just huge chunks of his life that we never got to see in the movies. I think they could have done a better job at showing the audience more of that special connection that Anakin had with Obi-Wan, about exactly how The Emperor was manipulating the Senate and clouding the minds of the Jedi etc.

    I remember the very first time I saw this movie when Vader said to take his helmet off I was like, "No way they're actually going to show his face, they'll probably just show it from the back or something." And then they show it and the audience is supposed to be appalled by his appearance, but then it hits you right in the feels when he tells Luke he was right and all you want is for Vader to stay alive so he and Luke can kick ass together. One of my favorite movie moments ever.

    • @oolooo
      @oolooo 9 років тому +36

      That is the only thing I would change about Star Wars ( Besides getting part of the EU back to Canon .) .Anakin did not had a chance for redemption .It was too short .He needed something bigger to redeem himself .I know he saved his son and kind of destroyed the First Empire but it was not enough .He died before he could be remembered by everyone as a hero .Vader will be his name forever .

    • @TheCelosHD
      @TheCelosHD 9 років тому +111

      +Esteban Bottini Truthfully, does that really matter? Vader died along with the Emperor, shouldn't that be what counts? Does the entire galaxy need to adhere to the martyr that had ruled with an iron fist for so long? In death, those that truly mattered knew the truth. That's what really counts, in my opinion.

    • @oolooo
      @oolooo 9 років тому +16

      They should do an AU about Anakin surviving and helping Luke to bring the Jedi Order back or just making his own group because he feels that it is wrong , seeing that he helped to destroy the old Jedi Order .Also , he should ask Galen to forgive him .

    • @evansaschow

    Sebastian Shaw (actor)
    In 1982, Shaw was chosen for the small but crucial role of redeemed Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, the third and final film in the original Star Warstrilogy. Although David Prowse played the costumed scenes and James Earl Jonesvoiced Darth Vader, just as they had in the first two films, Shaw was cast in a single scene with Mark Hamill, during the moment aboard Death Star II when Luke Skywalker unmasks his dying father. Since the scene was unquestionably the emotional climax of the film, the casting crew sought an experienced actor for the role. You can see this in Wikipedia.

    • @MLennholm
      @MLennholm 7 років тому +29

      David Prowse really got screwed over so much. No wonder he started fooling around on set and not taking things seriously anymore. I don't understand why no one ever seem to recognize how his body language was just as important to the character as JEJ's voice.

      It bothers me when someone compares the Original and Prequel Trilogies. Yes, they are part of the same saga but they are a different set of movies. Its apples and oranges. Just like people can't compare them to the new movies "Force Awakens", "Last Jedi" and eventually IX. Star wars is a generational story takes place in different time periods of one epic story. As bad as some people think the Prequels were, they still did better in the box office than some movies now.

      Actually, Vader _was_ a cyborg. Aside from the replacement prosthetic limbs after Count Dooku and Obi-Wan had severed them, he had several components to help him breath after his lungs were seared from being burned, a control panel hardwired into the “iron lung” to adjust his body temperature, breathing, even the glucose in his blood stream. So there you have it.

    • @a93alberts42
      @a93alberts42 6 років тому +9

      @Joshua Blackwood It doesn't matter. As I have described it, Vader was a cyborg from his reconstruction on Mustafar to his death on the second Death Star. When he became one with the Force, he no longer needed any physical flesh at all-his strength in the Force, and his realignment to the Light Side allowed him to resume the form he had as Anakin Skywalker.
      So even though he suffered as a cyborg for 23 years, he finally returned to the form he was meant to be in life, if it's any consolation to you.

    In other stories, Vader considered the very armor and suit that kept him alive a prison. That is completely true. That suit was a prison and Luke finally released him from it. In the end, Anakin didn't care if he'd make it off that station alive or not. All he cared about was truly seeing his son, the family he wanted more than anything but had ripped from him by a monster, the being who was half of him and the woman he loved more than anything. He was able to see him with his real eyes for the first and last time and he died with a smile on his face knowing he saved his son and the unconditional love that Luke had for him despite all the many terrible things he did.

    • @m1co294

      I think what was going through Vader's mind first was Mace Windu's death in Episode III. I don't think he'd seen the force lighting unleashed by the Emperor since them. That jogged up his memory of his failure to save Padme, how he ended up in the cyborg suit (which was painful for him), and the showdown on Mustafar with Obi-Wan. With these flashbacks, he did not want to experience the feeling of loss with Luke. That's why he turned his back on his master.

He sees a broken man who just wanted to save his loved ones, and smiles with compassion. Truly a beautiful scene

All his life, Anakin was a slave to people, always following orders and rushing through life. And here, for the first time in the end of his life, he can finally relax. For a person who went through so much trauma, this was a blessing for Anakin.

    "Nothing can stop that now. Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes." Anakin in his last moments simply wanted to see his son, and in seeing his son he would undoubtedly see a reflection of a bit of himself, and of bit of Padme. It's deep to think that he died knowing that in the end, their love, won the day.

    Such a powerful scene! Throughout his entire life Anakin struggled to protect the ones he loved. Although he lost the two most important women in his life, he died with peace in the arms of his beloved son Luke. It was love that drove Anakin to become Vader and it was that same love that freed Anakin from the Dark Side and fulfilled the prophecy of the Chosen One.

    This one scene is so infinitely better than anything in the prequels. I remember watching this as a very young boy and being totally blown away by Vader's unmasking. At first I was confused, and couldn't believe that the machine-like, twisted villain who I had grown to fear (and love, because Darth Vader is awesome) over the past three films looked so weathered and beaten beneath his shiny suit. For the whole trilogy, that terrifying sable helmet masked an actual human being, a father, with flaws and internal conflict. I really cared when he died, not only for him but also for Luke and Leia.
    I felt nothing at the end of Episode III when Padme died and Anakin was burnt alive.

    It's very subtle, but when Luke takes Vader's mask off, you see a bit of weariness in Anakin's eyes, like he's afraid of what his son sees. But instead, Luke smiles, as if saying "it's okay father, I'm here", and Vader smiles at his son, who sees him as an actual human being.

    Something tells me Vader was actually content to die at this point. He'd finally achieved what he first became a Jedi to do, and on top of all the evils he'd committed since then, he'd been living an artificially prolonged and stunted life. Having repaired his soul by his redemption, he was able to pass on into the Force, knowing he'd now be able to see his wife and his mother again. That smile of a proud father that he gives Luke, and his acknowledgement of Leia as well - he knew they'd go on to be better people.

  • @freedeathsticks4508

    One of the worst parts about this is that had Anakin survived, he probably would have turned to the light side again with the emperor dead. It would have bee cool to see Luke and Anakin on the same side, with Leia in the background. It would have been awesome to see a family United to fight for justice, but at least Anakin died after realising that Luke was right. And he did come back as a force ghost, so it's not all bad.

Fast forward to 2021 my dad dyed in my arms the same way Anakin did in Luke's arms. My dad had stage 4 lung cancer and dyed after we decided to take him off the breathing machine. In a weird subconscious way I feel like my dad prepared me for his death by introducing me to SW and this scene. He was cremated and lives through me now. The Force is strong in my family.
