This scene never gets old... Like the younglings!
Oh, snap!

Poor Anakin. He lived his entire life as a slave, just to different people. First to Watto, then to the Jedi, and then finally to the Emperor.
and Luke set him free
@@lsghost5805 and then died lol
@@lsghost5805 "I've got to save you." Luke
" You already have Luke" Anakin
The Jedi have rules their members are required to follow. They don’t force people to stay. That isn’t slavery. By the time AOTC rolls around, Anakin is a legal adult. He could have chosen to leave the Jedi to marry Padmé.
@@GrapeCheckerBoard not really he was the chosen one he really didnt get a way out also everyone was so hard on him and he wanted to save his wife
The amount of emotions Hayden portrays saying "I hate you!" is literally one of the most heartfelt moment in cinema for me. I can really feel all this hatred and anger, it chilled my spine.
But at the same time, you can sense his sorrow, the way he was truly twisted by all that happened, killing the younglings, the way he felt betrayed by the jedis, how he choked Padme although he loved her... truly one of the most emotional scenes ever. Great acting.
@@lucasrateau7580rue, yet ppl said the opposite. It was unfair all the hate he had to go through cause of ppl being stupid not understanding anakin's personality. I've been watching starwars all over again this week along with the series cause I wanted to understand what went wrong and idc what nobody says even tho I loved Episode III this part broke my soul😂 I can see it now & It stills hit me, I have to admit tho, darth vader is the only villian that I have a soft side/spot for, & that everytime I saw him I was scared in every movie he'd died, but I was also scared for my other favorite characters, so it was hard for me to watch cause they ended up killing my favorites they sure knew how to play with us😂
@@dasuritorres7552uring the other distractions that occurred anakins judgement was poisoned to the point of making what he likely imagined to be irreversible actions after committing them.( aka the jedi temple children and force choking padme.)
The emperor courted him behind others backs twisting how he perceived the decisions of the jedi council and the man who raised and trained him.
It makes obi wans I loved you line hit even harder.
Anakin was already to far gone at this point.
All the injury did was set in stone his ideals of absolute and constant suffering he puts himself and anyone he trains through once he rises again as Vader.
He sees his constant suffering as an edge that keeps him powerful.
Not exactly my theory.
Many others have thrown that one around as well since he never gets skins graphs and he never upgrades his cybernetic body even though he has nearly endless resources available to do so.
Anyways sorry about the rant.
I think these two actors perfectly compliment each other in this scene.
One wouldn't really be as good without the other.
Vader: Yes!! You have hate. You have anger. You would make an excellent inquisitor.
@Dakure yes yes yes literally!!
No matter how much people had criticised, memed or made fun of the prequels, no one can deny that this scene is especially heartbreaking
And the prequels were always great films, but the fans needed Disney to make an absolute horrible trilogy to realize that.
@@heiniknallkopp9688well, 2/3rds of a bad trilogy, since one of those movies is really great, The Last Jedi. The two directed by jar jar abrams are horrible
@@carlossaraiva8213Nah bro ep 7 is great, last jedi is no good
@@golemtv4817 The Farce Awakens is good???? Good compared to what? The Christmas Special, perhaps. Anyone who can't enjoy The Last Jedi likes SW for the wrong reasons and can't grow up.
@@heiniknallkopp9688 Bro, what universe do you live in??? The only great movie in the Prequels is Revenge of the Sith, Ep. 1 and 2 are just garbage (except for Darth Maul and Dooku) because there was no plot enough for both movies (so they put all the politics mambo jambo that nobody cares... And Jar Jar Binks), everything Jorge Lucas wanted to tell was in Ep. 3. While in the Disney trilogy, Ep. 7 is good (not exceptional, but a very good introduction to the new characters and story), Ep. 8 is great (broke some expectations for the sad whining fans) besides the Canto Bight plot filler, Disney Trilogy only screwed up in Ep. 9, bringing angry JJ back and listening to "fans" bs, undoing all the good choices made in the previous movie. Why bring Palpatine back, if Kylo could be the supreme leader and main villain and not turning back to the light? Why Rey must be related to someone powerful if Anakin Skywalker was born like baby Jesus with no father? Anyway, Ep. 3 is certainly top 3 in SW movies, but that won´t save Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones from being the most boring and poor plotted movies of this franchise along with The Rise of Skywalker.
“I loved you…” still breaks my heart to this day. Watching the death of two of my childhood heroes.
Hayden and Ewan were absolutely perfect. So emotional…
I agree
"I don't think he (obi wan) exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father"
@@cpob2013 this is an Amazing observation. Thank you!
Me as well.
17 years later and I still tear up. Hayden’s acting skills are under appreciated!
And Ewan's too. This was such a great scene from both of them.
@@tearstoneactual9773 Both were great throughout the sequels! Loved their chemistry
For *this* movie… I had a hard time buying into Attack of the Clones, but this one was superb.
@@madelinerock6951 I liked his scene were he rushes to save fis mother and then admits to killing the village. When he stares into the camera after Shmi’s death you can see the anger in his eyes. Great stuff.
@@Swissswoosher yes I do agree
Let’s be real the story of Anakin is one of the most tragic stories in narrated history
This is true. And when you look at all of 6 of the star wars movies you can see the entire series is really about the story of Darth Vader/Anakin.
@@finalsnipe8278 Yep, It is known Star Wars is the story of the Skywalker's family.
No matter how tragic it does not excuse killing of younglings.
@@finalsnipe8278well there's actually nine of the- 💥🤛🏾
@@feline2322No. There are 6. The last 3 didnt happen
“How does he live after that”
It’s actually sad to think about, cause when obi wan cut off his legs and arm, they were cauterized. So he wouldn’t bleed out, also his burns weren’t bad enough to kill him quickly either. Even the surgery as painful as it was, wouldn’t kill him. He received the most painful wounds but they weren’t fatal.
Also his hatred fueled the dark side within him, and gave him strength.
What’s worse. In the surgery they had to not use anesthetics as that could have jeopardized his midichlorians which was the only way he was still alive. He felt every single cut and saw blade in his surgery .
I mean realistically he'd be dead but in star wars with the tech and the force of course he was gonna a live.
@@cngotham4111 He wouldn't have made it through the ride to Coruscant in his condition.
@@jalenellis3594 Pain and Anger, those are two big things that dark siders draw on for power, that's the only thing that kept him alive.
The Emperor purposeful made his suit with defects to keep him uncomfortable and in pain so it would further fuel him and make him stronger as Vader.
Now they know the pain that we all felt when we saw this scene in theaters back in 2005.
That scene in Jedi Temple, with the kids...damn!
@@Karatejin I had a hunch that the kids would be killed ever since they were shown in Episode 2. However, I didn’t know Anakin would do it.
Yep Yep!
Ikr? I was 13 at the time!
@@nrkgalt I mean you had to put 2 and 2 together, you found out Vader was Anakin before the prequel trilogy was even being filmed
That “I loved you” hits hard every god damn time
That pure hatred hits pretty hard too
you could hear the defeat in his voice
I hate star wars 😡😡😡😡😡
Now I understand why Anakin yelled “I hate you”.
He was all alone and everyone who were supposed to be there to help guide him, abandoned him. He tried to save everyone he loved from dying. He failed and was cut down by Kenobi.
Yes he'd always risk his life for everyone's (if you watch Clone wars yk). But the one time he tried to do something for the love of his life,do something for himself it costed him his life, he's lost every fu**ing thing that he could say his. He lost himself only the body remained forever to be left in darkness.
If obi killed him Luke would of died with no help from this father in the future
Damn
Making excuses for the villain? You forgot is good thing for the love of his life was killing dozens of children, eh?
@@carlossaraiva8213 well theres a lot of clones to .Jedi where out played even master Yoda did not see order 66
I remember seeing this in the theater in 05’ as a seven year old. Everyone was on the edge of their seats because we all wanted to see exactly how Anakin became the masked Darth Vader. When Anakin’s legs got cut off, everyone gasped. It was dead quiet because everyone was so stunned. And once Anakin burst into flames, people gasped again because it came full circle to them. That’s how Darth Vader had to wear his suit. An experience I will never forget!
I saw this in theaters at seven years old as well
I was 14 when it came out, and where I saw it, the biggest gasps were when Anakin ignited his lightsaber in front of the younglings. As soon as Anakin lit on fire, my first thought was, "you deserve this. You murdered countless Jedi and children, so this is your punishment." That is why I personally never felt sorry for what Anakin went through.
@@kgunitkeese17THE PAIN HE WEENT THROUGH though😭😭
*2006
@@kgunitkeese17
HE WAS MANIPULATED! OPEN YOUR MOTHERF*CKING EYES!
“I HATE YOU!!!!”
“You were my brother Anakin. I loved you”
No matter how many times I hear those lines they still hit me like train.
For loving him he sure wrote him off quick, shaming him instead of trying to reach him, couldn’t even say that Padme didn’t know he was there, threw her right under the bus. Obiwans trash
@@CBRHurricane6 the entire trilogy he was teaching Anakin, by the time obiwan went to get anakin it was already to late and he knew that, he saw the video of him killing the younglings before that, and it wasnt until obi wan says "i will do what i must" after talking with anakin that the decision was made, anakin chose to fight him, obi wan didnt want to
@@CBRHurricane6 because padme knew that he was there and anakin would’ve been able to sense the deceit. But I think your assessment is totally unfair. Obi-Wan loved anakin and treated him like family all throughout their lives together.
Even up until the end he was still trying to reason with Anakin telling him “don’t try it”.
Anakin ended up being too arrogant because the darkside consumed him
I love obi wan
Hits so bad

One of the scenes in cinema that never fails to get me teary-eyed. Their story and John Williams' music under "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you" hits really hard.
Hits you like a 50 ton train🥲
I can honestly say that, watching this scene in the theater, I was shocked by how many OG trilogy fans were literally sobbing.
IKR?!
Did everyone think they were playing a game or something?
Wasn't it clear when they said they were going to *Kill* each other that they were not going to just say "oh, drat" and walk away? 🙄
I love how no one ever seems to notice that Obi-Wan didn't just cut off his legs, he cut off his left arm, too.
"He's more machine now than man" which is also a metaphor as well for what is left of his original identity.
I know, I think only one of them realized it right away.
When I saw it in the theater I thought the same thing till I saw his arm gone too.
That was a hell of a swing Obi-Wan took.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that lol. Both legs and the other arm
I actually first noticed that from the complete saga Lego game cut scene
Isn't that a forbidden move that obi wan performed?
People give Hayden a hard time for his acting but he has commitment, he is so dedicated he let people set him on fire
He actually let Ewan cut off his arm and legs. What a guy
He got his arms and legs cut off multiple times in multiple movies!
Dont forgot avoun comics.
He did was George wanted. He did a great job in the Kenobi series. It's a shame Hayden and Ewan didn't have more scenes together. They did phenomenal when they were together.
I’m 21 year old man and this scene still makes me tear. My two favourite characters fighting to the death and the emotion is just something else.
did you know?... 21 year old men are allowed to cry 🎉
The saddest thing about the Obi Won and Anakin relationship is that Anakin was desperate for the love and respect of a father figure, but he couldn't see that Obi Won loved him like a brother
That is exactly what made him do vulnerable to Palpatine's manipulations. He needed a father figure. Especially after the death of his mother.
@@nyronfranklin5789and palpatine was basically that for the entire time to him...:(
Had only Qui Gon survived
Dude, mad respect for George Lucas for daring to show us this very visceral physical transformation of Anakin into Vader. This raw emotion alongside the visuals... it's hard to stomach... so dark, so good.
You know nowadays it'd be impossible, Disney doesn't have the balls to go here.
Disney was happy to show Vader killing children again in the Obi Wan series… they can definitely go there.
Andor… ‘nuff said.
Euh... Kylo Ren a commis un paricide. Ce n'est pas rien. Mais la Prelogie est allée plus loin avec Anakin, dans ses souffrances. Plus encore que dans le Retour du Jedi même 😉
@@tristanlambert658 that was a complete misunderstanding of Vader's character, and turned him into another generic villain under Disney.
Before, Vader had some nuance to him, in that he was extremely LAWFUL EVIL, not chaotic like Maul, who would kill a child. Anakin slaughtered younglings during Order 66, but he hated doing so, as he doesn't obtain his Sith Eyes until he murders the Sepratists Leaders on Mustafar, showing he enjoyed it.
Vader tortures people for information and his own personal gain, he doesn't kill without reason, especially children. He would've 100% tortured the kid to draw Kenobi out, but to kill them, is simply not Vader's style.
Everyone loved the Rogue One scene where he just mercilessly kills rebels, but that's because they're active combatants and terroists in the view of his Empire. He kills his admirals for failing him, some even after multiple warnings. Never children.
@@NimbusTM wtf, you haven't been paying attention man
It was originally scripted when Anakin is burning and he reaches out that he was supposed to cry out “Help me!!” To Obi Wan and then Obi Wan turns and walks away. That brief moment when Vader fades and Anakin resurfaces just adds a whole new layer of emotion to this scene
I think it was scrapped because obiwan would have so much trouble not helping him, and the audience would have negative reactions to him not, same thing as azulas character redemption ark in ATLA, shes too hard to make sympathetic in a short time, zuko would do anything to help her if she asked for it, but she doesnt and that keeps things simple
In the book, he internalizes "it would be a mercy to kill him. He was not feeling merciful"
@@cpob2013 yeah see the lack of sympathy for anikin seems out of character for obi wan so i imagine he would have had a very had time walking away had anikin actually asked for help
@@KegaB3 like uncle Owen said, obi wan died about the same time as anakin did. Order 66 changed him profoundly, or at least seeing anakin turn. Obiwan didn't think there was anything left of the anakin he knew. "He betrayed and murdered your father". Keep in mind obiwan loved the jedi order just as much as anakin and was fully prepared to kill him. He wasn't at all the renegade like qui gon, he was by the book, and anakin had just destroyed the entire library.
It was muted, but at one point it looks like Anakin says "Help me Master" after his legs are cut off
Hayden’s acting in this scene is one of the few things that you could call „Absolut Perfection“
Still crying whenever I see this scene…❤
Hayden Christensen was absolutely phenomenal in this scene. Both of them were. You could feel his agony. I cry like an infant every time I see this. You just ache for Anakin. The emperor was s cunning warrior.
if the prequels had competent dialogue, they could’ve been masterpieces. Hayden and Ewan play perfectly off each other.
It's amazing how the prequels seem to get better and better with age. On release, people said that this was over-the-top and corny. Now, people cry to the point that it should get a retroactive Oscar nomination.
No they're still pretty much garbage...just because the new disney trilogy is bad as well...but in different ways...doesn't somehow make the prequels retroactively better...
Bad writing and dialogue, stiff awkward acting, terrible plot, stupid contrivances and a lazy over reliance on green screen...and the whole thing is so lacking in self awareness...thinking it's Shakespeare or a greek tragedy when in reality it's more like a big budget version of "the room"
I have pretty low opinion of the Oscar's and what the industry believes his high art worthy of recognition but anyone who thinks they deserve anything but a "razzie" is blind, deaf and dumb.
@@Shamelesscritique1 The plot of the Prequels is actually really complex and its ideas are good, it was just bad execution
@@John-kc4cg Nah george forgot or misunderstood what star wars fundamentally was...he somehow got into his head he was frank herbert or some shit...that he was a great science fiction writer capable of handling, prophecy, politics and serious tragic drama etc
He seriously overestimated his own talent and skill...
It's no coincidence the best star wars film wasn't directed by him and even now no one really recognises how much heavy lifting the other writers contributed to it's success...don't get me wrong...george lucas is a smart businessman (i.E keeping the merchandising rights etc) and true visionary who revolutionised the film industry when he built industrial light and magic...and for that he should always be respected...but he's not a very good writer or film maker...he managed to catch lightning in a bottle and he managed to power and propel an entire career with it...
Ultimately though at the end of the day...his legacy is turning a cultural touchstone into little more than mass produced lunch and cereal boxes...all the comics. the extended universe, the lore, all the crap books written by mercenary hacks over the years...it's all cash grab merchandise with no more artistic value or intellectual quality than those cheap empty hollow and plastic lunchboxes...then he sold out "to the souless white slavers at disney" (his words not mine)
He didn't want to direct the prequels but couldn't find a great director who agreed to take the risk... Still better than the last garbage trilogy tho
@@kamwalker6296 I dont know the writing was crap and it lacked all cohesive planning but the overall production quality and general acting was far superior...and yeah it's obvious george's heart wasn't in it...but the argument that he couldn't find anyone is ridiculous.
The truth is...back then like now...there would literally be a million directors lining up around the block to work on a star wars film...more so as it would've been before george and disney devalued and overexposed the I.P...this was long before the whole marvel superhero shared universe craze and the rise of the Y.A (young adult) franchises etc as well...so it literally would've been a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If anything the problem would've have been sorting out all the applications, bids and pitches...and considering how the prequels turned out...anyone even a first time director with no experience might have been better at the job.
Also we're just talking about direction and managing a production here...this shit doesn't even address the terrible writing, plot and dialogue which george is entirely responsible for...the truth is he'd become too rich, powerful and complacent, no one challanged his decisions whereas back in the day he had calibrators and had to make compromises..."art through adversity"...star wars didn't turn out exactly as he intended...yet it was magnificent.
This is even more tragic after you've watched the Clone Wars and seen what a hero Anakin was throughout that series.
I agree... The Clone Wars gave a greater meaning to this film for me.
I just wish it wasn’t cartoons 🤮
@@mclovinlife4018 Yeah well , give them the mountain of cash needed to make something like that series in a live action version
@@Fede0779 Disney is hurting pretty bad for money lol they’re not worth billions of dollars or anything
@@mclovinlife4018 the cartoons are better then most the movies and have some of the best moments. Nothing wrong with it being animated
It's interesting how when kenobi said to Anakin/Vader that he "loved him". When you take a step back, Anakin was so wrapped up with trying not Lose Padme cause he loved her so much. Yet couldn't grasp that he was losing others he loved like Kenobi who became a brother to him. So ended up losing many people who he loved and they loved him.
For years I was mocked because I cried over this scene after it got turned into a meme. It’s so reassuring to see that it made others as emotional as it made me.
Watched this in theaters when I was 6 and I couldn’t stop crying my eyes out. My parents kept telling me that “he was evil” to justify it but I knew he wasn’t
That was the whole point of the original trilogy, that there really was still good in him
He murdered children, as well as so many other killings. Imagine saying "he wasn't evil" about anyone else in reality that did that, and people would think you were either an apologist for evil or insane. There's a reason Lucas couldn't have Anakin survive in Return of the Jedi.
@@rikk319 Imagine living your life after what other people would think of you. You’re right, they would, but if a child can understand how evil can sprout through a series of events like in Anakin’s story and still have sympathy and love for the person, I’d rather ask what stained the pure heartedness of an adult to chose to rather resent and hate such a person. Hate the person’s actions, not the person him-/herself.
@@rikk319 I'm sure sidious ordered Anakin to kill the younglings
@@f0x4wd Sidious ordered Anakin to wipe out the Jedi Temple. In doing so, this would inevitably involve killing Younglings, yes. Sidious knew this, and made sure to imply that Anakin would have to "do what must be done. Do not hesitate, show no mercy" in order to become stronger in the Dark Side of the Force. Anakin, completely distraught and clinging to Palpatine as a lifeline after betraying Mace Windu and the Order as a whole, was willing to go along with whatever he said if it meant saving Padme.
That "I hate you" growl by Vader... Great writing and great delivery by Hayden. Not hatred for getting his limbs severed, but hatred for Obi-Wan and believing his former master betrayed him and left him all alone, forcing him to join the Dark Side. And the final "I loved you" by Obi-Wan just truly hits home, shows that Vader lost himself the moment he accepted Palpatine's call.
The “I HATE YOU” by Anakin is much deeper and sadder than at first glance. Not only is he in agonizing pain and has to watch Obi-Wan take his property and leave him, but he blames Obi-Wan for not making him stronger to save his mother. He also disliked the hypocrisy of the Jedi of making him commit treason. He also blames Obi-Wan for turning Padme against him and sees him as the reason why she’s going to die. Obi-Wan really crushed and saddened by this telling he loved Anakin like a brother makes this the saddest scene in all of cinema. Two brothers gone right in front of our very eyes.😭😭😭😭😭😭
Did you just call Anakin "Vader"?
@@soycaca2059 At this point in the film he was Darth Vader.
Your theory seems even better when Obi wan said "You are my failure Anakin" in Kenobi series
I was 10-11 when I saw this in theaters. Was hard to watch for me. Seeing it at 27 is even sadder. One of the best movies ever made.
This scene left me traumatized. Anakin going from the innocent slave boy to the burning demon filled with hate. I watched as Anakin was torn away from us both physically and spiritually in from of our very eyes. This makes this without a doubt, the saddest scene in all of Star Wars.
Ewan and Hayden’s acting combined with John’s score makes this easily one of the most powerful scenes of the entire franchise.
Just Ewan's acting
@@Marz2727dude how can you say that
it was considered really bad acting at the time. damn I'm old
@@Marz2727 then go do acting with a "bad" director,see where that gets you.
correction: the most powerful scene in the entire franchise
Owen Lars about Obi Wan: “I don’t think he exists anymore, he died about the same time as your father…”
Spoil alerts :
Can consider the fact that Obi suffered as much as Anakin did and never turned to the dark side just a sec :
- Qui Gon, the one who raised him
- Satine, his forbiden love
- The whole Jedi order, dedicatement of his life
- Anakin, the brother he put so much high hopes in until the end while seeing younglings being killed
- Padme, great friend and devoted to instore peace
I can't help but thinking of that one knight arround Arthur table which devoted this whole life the quest of Graal and chivalry code
@@grimsbaldruk4014 Maybe Obi-wan's character was inspired by that knight🤔
Watch the clip "Obi-Wan has ptsd" with the cuts from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith cut in. Makes the brief moment he discusses the Clone Wars with Luke in a New Hope even more powerful
@@meathooks79 I can see the upcoming show touching on that a bit
@@grimsbaldruk4014 Galahad?
The saddest part of this scene is those of us who watch it over and over again, we always hope and wish anakin doesnt turn, but he always does so the pain seems just as real as it did when we first watched it
I thought I was the only one
Love this scene and everyone is giving Hayden his deserved credit on the delivery of the "I HATE YOU!" Line, but coming back I've realized Ewan does an OUTSTANDING job at showing the resentment in his actions he truely believed Anakin was still the savior. You see him come to the realization and fallback on their own personal relationship. Such a heartbreaking scene for cinematography and both actors deserve full marks for their performances.
"I HATE YOU!" is one thing but that "I *loved* you." bring me to tears every time.
For me itbwas what led Anakin to scream that, Anakins need to prove himself only to be left humiliated by someone he loved so much
"He cutted his legs? He cutted his legs!?"
The best.
It's more hardcore watching this scene through other peoples eyes than your own. ☹️
Oh no, I've been shotted
HAHAHAHA I LAUGHED so much when she said “he cutted his legs”?!? Hahahahaha
He cutted his legs? *in thick accent*
I thought she was saying 'gutted' and was like lolwut legs don't have internal organs
Not just his legs. But his left arm too
I just LOVE that Obi knew what Anakin was gonna do as well as how to defend against it BECAUSE….. it was the same exact jump force move he used against Darth Maul 🤓😜 not many catch that detail
It hits even more when you've looked at the Clone Wars, because in the Clone Wars you see what Anikan and Obi wan went through together
7:08 I love how she notices Anakin's eyes change. Not a lot of people notice this the first time
I never knew
@@faith4657 he's given into the dark side fully at that point ....his eye first changed when he kneeled for sidious at the Jedi Temple that obi wan saw

Dammit, Episode III is seriously underrated; easily one of the best movies of all the saga. that scene alone still hits hard to this day. Amazing movie
Underrated? It's favorite star Wars movie for like 80%. I think it's the best too
@@sike3180 really?? I've heard absolute bashing of Episodes I-III for years (I watched it when it came out in theathers). Maybe people appreciate it a lot more now, and that's a great thing
@@gadget00 u right, it was when the movie just released. For the last 10 years, I hear more positive comments about this chapter than others
@@gadget00 the prequels aged like good wine
It’s arguably the best Star Wars film out of all of them. The most important things happen in this movie. It’s a monumental achievement that is unprecedented. Say what you want about old George Lucas abandoning his work to Disney but god damn he knew how to write a perfect movie saga
I’m a whole guy and every time I have the same reaction. It breaks my heart. And then, in Kenobi when Obi Wan says he’s sorry and Anakin says, I Am Not Your Failure Obi Wan. I cried even harder.
I remember being 10 years old in the theater watching this. I know the prequels aren't everyone's bag, but this was the most heartbreaking thing in the world to see at 10. It felt like I was losing a brother along with Obi Wan.
I always love the people who mention Obi-Wan calling Anakin his 'brother' on the first watch-through. Cuz, in my opinion, that is how he unknowingly failed Anakin. Anakin needed a father, but what he had was a brother/friend. Though that bond isn't to be understated, losing all your parental figures at 9 will mess you up. You can't fully blame Obi-Wan though since he was so young too. Anyways, props to the people who mention that.
YES PREACH
Obi-Wan is the older brother who had to step up after their dad died. That’s literally their story
@@marciedresel7051 And at the end of the day, that can only do so much.
@@waylongames69 wasn’t the whole point that he wasn’t allowed to see her for a long while?
Well the thing is Anakin did have a father figure... it was Palpatine. I mean Palpy also technically created him but that's another story
Lets be honest boys we were all dripping tears when this part came
It's like the beginning of Up. If that doesn't make you cry, nothing will.
@@allanturmaine5496 real
It was the first time I cried durning a movie. It’s also the worst I’ve cried durning a movie
To this day Idgaf
Not me. I haven't cried for a starwars movie since the death of Qui-gon
I remember my father took me to see this when it came out in theaters. Probably still my favorite moviegoing experience in my life
The pain in Obi WAN’s voice when he says he was his brother hits me every time. One of the only movie scenes in cinema that can make me cry every time.
people give revenge of the sith, and the prequels in general alot of shit, but i really love them, especially RotS bc of how well made the Obi-Wan VS Anakin scene is
They didn't even use stunt doubles. Most of the actual saber combat is actually Ewan and Hayden going at each other full speed
Still the best live action lightsaber battle to me.
@Connor O'Brien the only scene in the fight thats bod was the random spinning scene in the table room, where they weren't even attempting to hit them.
ROTS is actually very well respected. At least now it is. And deservedly so. The emotion was top notch.. the action and the lightsaber fights were top notch.. the acting was great... It was easily top 3 out of the entire Star Wars trilogy. For me it was the best one. But I'm sure some others like 4, 5 or 6 better
@@cpob2013 That's one of my favorite things about this movie. The fact that these two really went at it ahead this green screen and mastered the fight chorography.
The damage was more than external, and he went through surgery without anesthetics or painkillers. The droids had to scrape away all the dead and dying tissue for months. During his transition into the Darth Vader we know and fear, he came to the realization that everything that happened to him was his fault and he owned it vowing revenge on Darth Sidious in whatever way he could. However, during the OT, Vader knew he couldn't beat Sidious and was okay with being replaced by his Son, at least that way Vader would have post-mortem revenge due to The Rule of Two. Only Two there should be. One Master. One Apprentice. One to embody the power. The other, to crave it.
How'd u know those details?
@@SlimKim23 there are canon books of star wars related to the old sith lords who created the rule of two and a book on the rule of two. All these details are given in the book. Alonggwith that the book version of Revenge of the Sith also tells you how vader felt during his surgery
@@SlimKim23 I read the Novelization of the movie. I'd Highly recommend it to anyone interested in The Birth of Darth Vader. Also, the cross section of Episode 3 was a picture book that explains everything, you can find those pics easily enough on Google and Bing Images. When you look at them, keep in mind that Vader was conscious throughout the whole operation. Spoiler Alert: Vader has a synthetic lung that's literally just a scuba tank.
I thought Anakin accepted serving Sidious as his punishment for all the bad he did instead of taking vengeance on him.
@@thesigmamale1720 Half true, yes. Vader did, indeed, serve Sidious as his punishment. However, the other half is that Vader didn't have any choice, he wanted revenge, and he was a Rule of Two Sith with little to no hope of continuing the line, himself. He tried to plant seeds of decent, but they were all found and destroyed. Only until Vader found his Son did he accept one of two outcomes.
1.) Train him in secret and prop Luke up as the new Emperor.
2.) Die by Luke's hand, trained by Sidious, and Luke kills Palpatine to become The Sith Master and Emperor. A sort of posthumous revenge, either way, Vader won.
Watching this as a kid back when it came out, and also watching this now at 23 years old. That scene always makes me emotional. Iconic scene. Have always been a Star Wars fan. Both my brother and I.
having bond so close with a man you call him brother irrelevant of blood is soo deep, it really is a powerful moment that it's broken
"He has one limb left."
Nah, that one was cut off before.
nah bro in the scene you can see Anakin pulling himself up with his metal arm
@@johnfloyd5969 yeah, that's what I meant. He lost that arm before the rest. In episode 2.
True
@@worldinflames38 true my bad
I always fail to realize that he had ALL his limbs cut off at that point. Attack of The Clones is when he lost that first arm.
1:21 - That’s the problem. Anakin needed a father. He needed Qui-Gon. Though Obi-Wan loved him, he was more a brother.
underrated comment
Obi-Wan was like a young 18 year old father to a little boy. Mistakes were inevitably gonna be made. He did tye best he could.
My dad was a star wars fan and took us to the theatres for all 3 of the prequels. My brothers and I were bawling our eyes out and he was just silent the whole way home. People can criticize the prequels and its fair but this is one of the most impactful events in cinema
Seeing heartbroken people watching Anakin's misfortune has made me feel different from how I originally saw this scene, especially the first girl, seeing her so affected and sad by this powerful scene, moves me. Within the story, Anakin is the character who has suffered the most of all.
This scene is one of many reasons why I love Revenge of the Sith, and feel it needs more love. This scene still packs a punch.
The prequel trilogy gets a lot of hate but they are actually pretty good, better than Disney’s dumpster fire they call the sequel trilogy.
@@hawk66100 damn right.
It's a good overall movie but it still suffers from George Lucas's bad screen writing ability when he doesn't have the help he had on the original trilogy.
If you are talking about the script, dialogue, pacing, and how well each character is written, the movie has a lot of flaws.
Dude, this movie has a 92% approval rating on Google, and Epis 1 and 2 do not differ much. Far more people liked the prequels than what the haters would want you to believe
The Clone Wars series really fills in these characters and makes me appreciate the prequels more.
And the Obi wan series, then obi wan PTSD videos
@@superjumpbros64 kenobi series is a joke and not canon
@@CeRz yup, I stand corrected, maybe some scenes, but not the whole thing
@@superjumpbros64 not the whole thing, I agree. But some vital and core parts of the story and the continuity of it is heavily compromised leaving the entire show redundant and completely irrelevant. It is with heavy heart I write this, as I truly wanted it to be spectacular... but sadly it wasn't. As soon as they had a different writer for episode 5 they made tremendous improvements, but also here, sadly too late.
@@CeRz same, it was probably my revenge of the sith nostalgia keeping me from noticing its terrible flaws.
Watching a new generation watch this scene makes me believe that I was too young to appreciate the gravity and significance of this scene when I first saw it back when I was 11.
even if you thought they wernt good actors, you have to admit their acting in this scene is oscar worthy. the hate in anakins voice, and the anger and cofusion in Obi-wans at how it came to this, and how he let it happen.
That scene when Obi Wan and Anakin are talking on the steps before they see each other on mustafar is powerful. Obi wan in the light and Anakin in the shade and as Obi leaves he says “Goodbye old friend” and that truly was the last time he’d ever talk to “Anakin”
Damn dude... i knew about the symbolism of that scene, but the way you described it above really hit me hard after watching this, wow. So friggin sad. : (
Well, the last time until they're both force ghosts
May the force be with u
Especially sad because Anakin is apologizing for being too impatient and Obi-Wan is praising him. Its sad when you realize they parted as they were closer than ever.
God this scene is so powerful. The emotional intensity between these two. Obi-wan not wanting to fight let alone kill Anakin but realizing how really fallen and dark he has become after succumbing to the dark side. One of the most intense scenes of all the Star Wars movies!!
This is one of the most iconic scenes of film history! The emotion between them is so real as if he really has watched Anakin grow from a sweet innocent child into pure rage and hatred…
2 things that never get old :
1) memes and jokes about the younglings
2) the younglings
Seeing the heartfelt reactions from these girls was very inspiring and wholesome. Finding the beauty and emotion in works of fiction is part of the human experience. I think that their emotional responses to such a tragic scene tells me that they have sensitive and compassionate souls, which reflects well on their character.
True but at this point I just went to go see this just to get it over with. People were laughing. The dialogue is SO bad!
@@theavocado6061 Same here. To me, it didn't feel much different than going to my day job.
women, not girls.
The story of Darth Vader is a tragedy
The Rise, Fall and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker always has been
have you heard the tragedy of Darth Vader?
@@nescaumarqueti5793 it’s not a story the Jedi will tell you…..
Have you ever heard the tragedy of darth vader the youngling slayer?
@@darthvader4331 have u had sex since u became Darth Vader ? I imagine not cuz of how fuked up ur body is now
Honestly I always get too caught up in the epic-ness of the I HATE YOU scene, that I forget to acknowledge the emotional importance of Obi-Wan's "i loved you". The pain both were feeling, and the disconnect that Palpatine festered between them is shown perfectly by this small exchange of words.
When I was a kid watching this I actually cried during this scene just like these reactors it really hit me in my feelings sometimes.
When you watch the Clone Wars, you kind of understand why Anakin turned to the dark side. Every person he ever loved or trusted either left him or betrayed him.
That was already clear in episode 2.
@@thomashumphrey48 Good on you, same in my life. These people "who do bad things because bad things happened to them", don't speak for us. They were going to do bad things anyway, because the main reason they did stuff was because of them. The things "that made them evil" didn't make them that way, they were things that wouldn't make other people do bad stuff but make them do bad stuff, because they have a hard on for using justifications to omit them from responsibility.
@@thebigbop5866 People are different and will take things different ways. That's why some people will laugh some things off while others deeply internalize them and feel terrible. Not all of us are the same. It's easy to judge when you're not inside the mind of a person and don't know their emotions.
@@Andy-ly2tz I'm scholared in understanding human behaviour and well versed through personal trial and error of what these cretins actually are like. You'd be surprised how influential the "sympathy for the devil" mentality really travels. Surprised isn't the right word, more like astonished x 10,000.
Some people really do just try and make the best of what they have and the environments they're in make some things truly unavoidable, but the violent people, they will find a way to be violent in an empty house. They are addicted to it, at which point when I would say something like this that old "sympathy for the devil" stuff kicks in, and all of the possible reasons they can reason stuff become convenient truths to grasp to. But the truth is they have bought into their addiction and they have no interest in changing anything until they realise they haven't done as much self work on who they are as they did with the addiction.
The world is jubilant at the news of Johnny Depp being liberated from Amber Heard. There are millions of Amber Heard's both male and female who are known to their victims as completely evil bullshitters absolutely milking in people's willingness to turn a blind eye, but they don't have his millions of dollars to go after their Amber Heard. Nothing has changed, except that if you have a shit load of money you have a chance at standing up for yourself through an arbitration system.
It's easy to all pile in on her, we're all at a distance, and other people are doing the fighting.
The biggest human drug in history is violence, and it has a legendary level of excuses for it.
how did obi wan betray him?
It's interesting that everyone only thinks Anakin's legs were cut off. They never notice his left arm was cut off also.
For me. I noticed that his left arm was cut off when I first watch the movie
@@macminia_anton thats his Right Arm you noticed, cut off by Count Dooku in Episode 2
Here his left arm also gets chopped along with both legs essentially leaving him without limbs
@@antiquefuturistic I am not talking about his right arm tho. But I am talking about the left arm
EXACTLY
I’m pretty sure one of the girls mentioned ‘he has only one limb’ or something along the lines of that
Damn I haven’t seen RoS in years and this seen still elicits such an emotional response from me. Ol’ Lucas sure did an amazing job directing this scene with Hayden and McGregor
As sad as this scene is, I’m glad to see people appreciate the prequels. They were my a central part of my childhood and what started my love for Star Wars
We didn’t fully appreciate them at the time.
Took us a few years.
Fun, but actually sad fact: If you look closely to Anakin’s face after Obi-Wan says ”I loved you”, he actually regrets what he has done and wants to beg for forgiveness. Just before he bursts into flames😭😭😭
Not fun. Comments are never fun, but that once really isn’t
Maybe his Sith eyes just barely dissipated in that moment, but I actually doubt that he genuinely wanted to ask for forgiveness in that moment. Yeah, the only thing Anakin truly wants in life is validation and love from the people around him, and that "you were my brother, I loved you" would sound like a good argument for him to turn, but with how much the Sith corrupted him already, and after that whole fight... AND after having screamed "I HATE YOU" at him... I'd find it a bit strong that he'd be that quick to ask forgiveness 😅
@@potitishogun2961997 true, but there’s multiple emotions behind it
@@potitishogun2961997 there is a deleted scene where Anakin does ask Obi Wan to help him. Obi Wan then responds that he can, but he won't. That's the moment Anakin's eyes burn yellow and he screams "I hate you!"
So you're right, he wasn't about to beg for forgiveness. In a way, in that deleted scene, he had already tried.
@@pyxl666 Hm... I'm lowkey glad that scene was deleted, cuz it's way out of character for Obi to ignore a plea for help, even from his biggest enemy...
Me: **Replays this scene for the 50th time**
Also me: WHY AM I STILL TEARING UP?
no but fr tho how.. shows how amazing their acting and line delivery is
I remember that visceral moment seeing this scene for the first time…. Hayden and Ewan really brought so damned much not only to this scene, gutting the hearts of so many fans but to this movie as a whole.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the novelization for Revenge of the Sith in October of 2005 to dive even deeper into the story and it did not disappoint!!
“Oh no no that’s disgusting” while her friend is sobbing was too funny to me 🤣🤣🤣
Ewan and Hayden killed it with this scene especially Ewan when his voice cracked when he said I loved you. The PAIN
"The force is strong with you Lord Vader. You will revenge your leg's. (A new hope)"
😂
*legs
HE SAID THE THING! HE SAID THE THING!!!
*wild cheers and popcorn flying everywhere*
You mean Avenge.
I think the emotional power of this scene comes from all of us having been there. We have probably all watched someone we dearly love destroy themselves and be powerless to stop it.
This scene hits so much harder once you watch the Clone Wars and its entirety
After seeing Obi-wan show, I never took it into consideration, just how traumatic this is for Obi-Wan, a child he raised and trained for years, burning right in front of him, a man who once a child, he had to fight, missing limbs, in pain right in front of him. Truly sad.
Yeah he had major PTSD have him nightmares
idk after all Anakin turned to darkside mostly because of obi wan now think about it obi wan didn't have enough qualifications to be a master he just killed the Darth maul? And then council gave him title right away he didn't take any exam to be a master like others throughout the clone wars and prequels we always saw that obi wan never trusted him plus obi wan was so unqualified to be master that even palpatine didn't bother to eliminate him because he was never an obstacle finally we see in a new hope by the time Luke saw the duel between vader and obi wan , obi wan realized that moment and he unpurposely let it go and was killed by Vader so that Luke could feel the anger and hate towards Vader I believe obi wan had always been a selfish arrogant guy just like other council members
@@cankurt3062 of course obi wan wasn't perfect but you're actually wrong about much that you said about obi wan if one thing he was never was selfish that's just not true at all man
@@cankurt3062 what does that have to do with his trauma?
@@cankurt3062
Obi wan was not prepared but he did the best he could, Obi wan always trusted Anakin, that's why he was incredulous when he saw the things he had done in the Jedi Temple, Obi-wan also hid that he knew about Padme and Anakin's relationship, because he knew that this made Anakin very happy, Obi wan already in episode IV believed that Anakin was irredeemable, after all the things he had seen him do, from killing children to suffocating his pregnant wife. Obi wan thought that everything that was once good about Anakin had disappeared and that this empty shell full of hatred and anger that remained of him should disappear for the good of the Galaxy, to prevent him from spilling the blood of more innocents, Luke then had to finish him off, that's why Obi-wan trained him, but his sacrifice was not intended to create anger towards Anakin within Luke, but simply to die so that Luke and the others escape, since Obi wan knew that Luke wouldn't leave as long as he was alive, and escaping Anakin's wrath without a fight was impossible at that point.
Obi wan had many flaws, but being selfish was not one of them, the guy spent almost two decades on a desert and inhospitable planet living badly in order to make sure that the son of the man who betrayed him and ruined his life was safe.
Anakin's fear of losing his wife leaded to his anger of the Jedi which leaded to his hate for Obi-Wan which leaded to his suffering on Moustufer
Which led to the death of said wife
And all that led to the fall of the republic. Love.
Just like Yoda said
Mustafar
bro said moustufer 😭😭
Such mature and healthy reactions❤.
This video is an ode to being human.
This love and empathy is humanitys strongest and most important aspect. Many forget that.
I’m questioning what kind of movies they watch to be this emotional in one of the best scenes in the film.
To this day, Vader’s screams as he catches on fire are just terrifying and excruciating to hear. I almost had to look away in 2005, and 17 years later, it’s just as painful to watch.
My sons didn't know that's how Vader wore the suit he did they watched this scene and they went "That was scary i never knew that's how he got into the suit"
My youngest couldn't watch it fully until recently
I remember being 9 or 10 in theater and this scene fucking crushed me.
I was 14 when I saw this in theatres and I felt no sympathy for him. I wanted to initially, but I remembered what he did to the younglings and brought me back to the realization that all the burns symbolized all the destruction, hatred and murders he committed for a selfish desire.
@@kgunitkeese17 I get that, but he was corrupted and not himself anymore. His lust for power and obsession of saving Padme made him go virtually insane.
God are you not wrong at all. It crushed my whole family too dude! I was 9 too when this came out too.
I was 28... and yes I was crushed too.
a perfect display of how to cry without tears
I remember going to see this in theaters as a kid with my dad. My dad who never cries actually had watery eyes. and after the movie, I found out later, he was pissed because he just wanted to take his son to a fun starwars movie, and was not expecting it to be so dark and emotional and was worried I would have nightmares (Which I did)
I think a big aspect of Anakins fall and him and Obi-Wans relationship that is not really touched on is that Anakin had viewed Obi-wan as a father but Obi-Wan had viewed Anakin as a brother.
Qui Gon was the father he needed.
I think the fact that Obi Wan saw Anakin as a brother as in an equal shows how much Obi Wan really loved Anakin cause he never saw himself as better than anakin but as his equal, which is the greatest admiration that a pupil can get from his master.
@@luisz222 True.. but Anakin needed a father.. which in a way he got from Palpatine and Palps exploited that need.
@@williamdean4775Qui-Gon is the true father-figure Anakin needed. If he was alive, things would’ve been different. Obi-wan could never fulfilled that role because he wasn’t prepared to train the most powerful force user in the universe.
Watching this makes you realize just how actually powerful the prequels are. They got their share of hate back in the day but when new people see scenes like this with fresh eyes they get the huge torrent of emotions this narrative climax delivers.
This is by far and away the best emotional acting in all the prequels though and it's basically all because of Ewan. The prequels were not like this overall
@@VPSantiago yup, time for your senna there old timer
I mean this specific movie is probably the best star wars movies. But the other 2 still have plenty of problems definitely phentom menance
@@cptsteele91 He's not wrong though, this movie is a big step up from Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. I mean I enjoy those movies, but they are basically just setup for the events of Revenge of the Sith
All 3 prequels were great
Lovd seeing reactions to this. The emotions we see is a result of well executed linear storytelling. Well done George.
Who knew the ability to cry without any tears was a force power so many people have. 🧐
So ends the tragedy of Anakin Skywaler the Jedi, so begins the rise of Darth Vader, who would dominate Ankin's destiny and consume him for the next 20 years until his son, Luke, redeemed him.
don't worry ladies, we all felt this pain.
To Natalies point on how quick Anakin fell. The darkside does that to you but its mostly the fallen angel trope, once you start falling you dont stop until oblivion.
I didn't think it happened fast at all.
Remember he had to go to the Jedi temple and .... do what he did there, to break down all his psychological barriers and reservations against murdering and massacring!
In fact, if you figured it out in real time, it may have been a day or two between his swearing in and the start of this duel.
Glad to see that people are still experiencing this movie (and the rest of the franchise) for the first time through. It’s touching really
From "Revenge of the Sith" novelization, by Matthew Stover:
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:
The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.
The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew at your flesh.
You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.
You don’t even have lungs anymore.
Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.
Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?
And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain.
You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you.
Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous.
Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat.
Padme? Are you here? Are you all right?
I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your anger, you killed her.
This burns hotter than the lava had.
No…no, it is not possible!
You love her. You have always loved her. You could never will her death.
Never.
But you remember…
You remember all of it.
You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth…
And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.
That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.
You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…
It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith -
Because now yourself is all you will ever have.
And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were. You are more than half machine, 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 so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow.
In the end, you do not even want to.
In the end, the shadow is all you have left.
Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself-
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever…
Honestly one of my favorite books.
Fun fact, for some reason it came out like a month before the movie. I happened to find it on the shelf at a store as a kid and got it. I obsessively read the whole thing in a day. It honestly scared me how quickly Palpatine turned things and how complete his victory was.
One of the greatest star wars movie novelizations
@@ZombiesOnYourLawn66 Agreed. I'll go one step further and say of the hundreds of novels I've read spanning several genres, that's in my Top 5.
Didn’t he break Sidious’ force wall during that rage?
Wow. I need to read the novels
Watching Anakin burning like that for Obi-Wan, is like one of us seeing a loved one descend into Hell while we move on to a better place when we die.
I mean George Lucas did create Mustafar because he thought that's what hell might look like
I remember ..this is the movie and this is exactly the scene ,that turned me into the magic of starwars and I'm still a Starwars fan to this day and will always be. I can still feel how lost I felt after watching ROTS like seriously I was crying by a mere thought of it. The prequels especially ROTS will forever be my favorites and remain in my heart.
And ANAKIN SKYWALKER IS MY TRUE HERO for eternity ❤
