Have you watched the 2d clone wars series? There's an analogy where a hero in a tribe uses some dark force to help his own people...eventually that force increased every time he used it until it was too late, before he noticed that very same force killed everyone but him.
And every time he did, he took one more step towards the Dark Side. And when he was at last consumed by it, Vader killed countless more than those Anakin saved. Do You see now why the Jedi warn so strongly against straining from the Order's Code?
@@kapitan19969838 Except light side of the force and Jedi Order are 2 different things. One is the actual force itself and the Jedi Order is a governance of light side users.

Zechariah Kouns Right? Like absolutely no sympathy regarding his hatred and anger towards slavers. Like that’s just stupid especially when anakin is as powerful as he is
yoda could see his descent into the dark side of arrogance, anger, growing cruelty, hatred and greed as did others. Not once ever did any of them pull anakin off from the war to coach him in dealing with his traumas so it doesn't destroy him. Nor did they teach him to deal with his PTSD over his slave upbringing to his mothers death to full scale wars. Yoda and obi wan are just as responsible for darth vader as darth sidious was. Inaction is just as guilty as the temptation. Think of how different he would have turned out with a year of healing meditations and guidance to forgiveness/mental recovery after the death of his mother instead of throwing a unstable super powerful Jedi into war.
@@dylan56789ful I think in the end both Yoda and Obi-Wan understood that. They both took a responsability in the becoming of darth vader, in the fact they did not help anakin when they should have.
When you rewatch this show, you realize even Padmè lead Anakin closer to the dark side. Not only her whole BS with Clovis, but their differing views on the war and Palpatine to the point where even he believed Padmè turned against him. It’s honestly no wonder Luke was the only one to bring Anakin back, aside from his mother, Ahsoka, R2 and 3PO, he’s the only truly positive relationship he’s ever had.
@@garyfrombrooklyn All I'm saying is saying only one gender does one thing is a sexist statement. I've seen both men and women use this tactic. It's not just women or just men.
I hate how he became Vader. But it has his destiny to become Vader. I watched the whole series of TCWs, twice actually, and every time I was hoping he would NOT become Vader. Sure, Vader is a bad mofo, but he did not deserve that life. He lost so much, it's hurtful. I hope they bring back Anakin in Episode IX, since they're bringing back Emperor Palpatine. Anakin was supposed to be in Episode VII, or VIII, but they canned it. Nah, man, bring him back. Not Vader, but Anakin, the Chosen One!
It seems Anakin tends to develop very strong attachment to the women in his life, I think it may have something to do with him living with his mother his entire childhood, and the way she died.
I concur, but not only to women. He had a very strong attachment to Obi-Wan, which is why he felt so betrayed after their duel, and he grew a very strong attachment to Palpatine as well, who he viewed as almost as father figure at times.
Notice how even when anakin turned to the dark side he still had a caring voice for Ahsoka? Even as Vader he never hated her. But he knew he had to try or to actually kill her to release his pain of her
Anakin has been a slave for his entire existance, never a master himself, until his death. Born into slavery. When he became a Jedi and thought he could say goodbye to his life as a slave, he still ended up with people who told him what to do and what to think. And even though everyone kept saying how great his skills are and how he's the "Chosen one", he was always seemingly pushed down. It must've been the part where he was declared "part of the council, but denied the title of Master" that must've really cemented in his mind that he was never gonna be free at this rate. I believe that's why he desired the rank of Master so badly. Palpatine always gave him the impression that he deserved more than he was given and often "helped" him make decisions for himself, giving only more reason to trust him over the Jedi Order, which was clearly flawed. Sadly, it was all a trick and he ended up once more being a slave to a master. Darth Vader must've delusioned himself to be bigger than he was or accepted that he was forever doomed to be a slave from begin to end. "When I left you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master." "Only a master of evil, Darth."
Excellent analysis! Additionally, it was his attachments that helped him get through his struggles. He ended up relying on them too much, which only aided in his being tricked by Palpatine.
Also the fact Palpatine groomed anakin from a young age. Anakin needed a father figure, Obi-Wan was like a brother, Palpatine gave anakin that father role. also the Jedi had lost their way, when Anakin told Mace, "this is not the jedi way". Mace told him we need to kill the Sitting representative to the Republic because he was too dangerous . Anakin was like well this is the same shit and went full Sith.
11:05 I just realized - Anakin’s rest on Mortis was to force both the Son and Daughter to free both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka - but Anakin took it further and forced them to bow, signifying dominance over them. That was not the test. The test was whether he could liberate, not dominate. 🤔 But no one - not the Father, Obi-Wan or Ahsoka - seemed to notice.
Actually he did stop at making them let them go, aside from the force throw. It was only after they kept attacking his loved ones he resorted to domination. Which I think is a better summation of Anakin's character
Hayden Christensen is understated for his portrayal of young Vader! His intensenity and hatred of the sand people is perfectly displayed, and Anakin's dark side becomes very clear!
I've always thought it was Padme's reaction, or lack of one really, that made the scene so damn funny. Like, she just does not care she's totally check out 🤣
@@VadWalker66 You're right, and imo the only way to excuse the scene is to head canon that Anakin was using the force on Padme making her not view it as an awful act
When anakin was taming the brother and sister instead of making his voice like a demon they should have had James earl jones do the darth vader voice for it, kind of foreshadow his future
I love Anakin's darker side. I have an odd love of protagonists who aren't just infallible bastions of purity. Especially those who dip into the darker aspect of things.
He was lied to by the Council and told to suppress his emotions on many occasions, was consistently doing all the major missions whilst other masters on the Council practically never left the Temple, thought he'd seen his best friend killed, lost his padawan whom he loved like family because she'd been wrongly accused and lost faith in the Order, then had visions of his pregnant wife dying and the only guy to offer him a way to save her was the Sith Lord who'd been a constant ally and mentor to him. With the exception of a certain few, namely Luke, I honestly think any character who'd gone through the same would've turned to the Dark Side.
The sand-people are effectively wolves, they don't care about anyone not of their kind and will slaughter them, Padme understood this, and helped Anakin.
Ok let's be real. Everytime Anakin has genuine trauma and needs help the jedi told him to bottle his feelings. Of course he was destined to explode. His only solice in life his friends and wife yet he lost them all. Tragic
And they knew he began his training at a later age than any other Jedi so they should have expected he would need extra help learning how to control his emotions. This was their entire reservation about accepting him in the first place and yet when they did, they made no effort to address this concern.
That's part of the bigger problem. Emotions in themselves are a path to the Dark side, but they aren't the Dark side. But the Jedi dogma puts them as such. The Jedi inherently cannot serve the living Force this way because all emotions dark or light are inherently aspects of the living Force. The Jedi lost their connection with the living Force, became stagnated and served the Senate over the living Force and they were destroyed. The Sith corrupt the force and are considered a cancer and were destroyed also.
You know if Anakin was in Mortal Kombat 11 it would be very therapeutic for him because it let his anger and rage out on the MK fighters and guest fighters
Ok, so re-watching this really makes me appreciate how they actually make the Fall make SENSE. That and I feel so sorry for those droids who knew they were scrapped the moment Skywalker showed up.
I like how Anakin values the connections he’s made with people and robots alike. He is angered when Obi-Wan discredits Anakin’s worries of R2’s safety, you can tell this is a kid who valued the only real relationship he had with his mother before he was taken in by the Jedi. And after losing her, he is convicted to keep hold onto the bonds he has left. This is the exact reason as to why he turns to the dark side, his fear of losing the people he loves. It’s such an amazingly personal story about how the life of one man can decide the fate of the whole world, much like many of history’s worst dictators. And yet, can you really blame Anakin? When he is told to sacrifice his bonds for the greater good, can you really expect someone to bow their head and follow dogmatically. Like Nietzsche said, ‘What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil’, and I think that applies especially well to the tragedy of Anakin.
I have to say how I love that during Obi-Wan's death arc Anakin goes around looking all evil and shit... And Ahsoka is right behind him looking like a pissed off puppy. She couldn't be evil even if she tried.
Hayden’s acting as Anakin was amazing. He will always bring an amazing performance. The scene where Anakin sees his future is so sad. He saw all the horrible things he would later do
It also amazes me how the Jedi almost never see a person turning to the Darkside. For all their knowledge of it many Jedi have shown signs of the Darkside taking over and the Jedi just continue on like nothing happened. They are arrogant in their own way even though they preach against it, and have failed to save lives because of their strict adherence to the Jedi code
Luke had no context for what Jedi of old were like though. Or at least had less of a context. Luke can best be described as a Grey Jedi. This is especially true in Legends canon and his new Jedi order.
At 33:05 you can see Anakin almost reaches out to Obi Wan to further talk about it with him, but decides against it and lets him go. Makes me feel really bad for him. He wants to ask for help, but feels like he can’t.
hey! HEY! You show some respect for Padme, you sun of a hutt! She was a fighter who led and won a battle to free her home planet AT 14! A Queen and a Senator who led her people with love and wisdom, and fought for truth and justice in the Senate in a time where corruption was the norm. She was a brave, hardworking, BRILLIANT woman whose only flaw was her weakness for creepy child-killers. But that flaw doesn't make her a bitch, it makes her a victim of plot and bad writing.

@@FilmsNerf2 the way i think of it it's an adult series with kid stuff tossed in to get a wide audience. How would a kid get the over-arcing story and subplots? But the latest movies are no better than superhero movies, action, no substance.
There have been hundreds of thousands of cartoons and animated shows, but how many can appealed to the youngest hearts and the most observant eyes? The Clone Wars and BatMan - The Animated Series.
Leia: Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial senate will not sit still for this. When they hear you’ve attacked a diplomatic-- Darth Vader: Don’t act so surprised, your highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. Leia: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a member of the Imperial senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan. Darth Vader: You are a part of the Rebel Alliance, and a traitor. Take her away! *Leia walks along with Stormtroopers*
"a great leap forward often requires taking two steps back" -Obi wan "and sometimes all it requires is the will to jump" - anakin Really shows you how different they are. While like brothers they both have very different approaches to problems and conflicting their feelings. Sad times such a good story line.
Should have kept his mouth shut I never liked Clovis... it was very satisfying when Anakin dropped him. Yes I’m aware Clovis let go but let’s be honest... Anakin made no effort to save him. Can’t blame him.. would have done the same Clovis falls Padme: Anakin use the force Anakin: what’s the force? Padme: ............ Anakin: oh right.... Clovis dies Anakin: ....welp... that sucks. Oh well.
What I find interesting about anakin lifting the son and daughter is that he lifts the daughter with his human hand and lifts the son with his robotic hand symbolizing the balance between the war hero known as anakin and the killing machine known as vader
Obi-Wan: When was the last time you saw him? Padmé: Yesterday. Obi-Wan: And do you know where he is now? Padmé: No. Obi-Wan: Padmé, I need your help. He is in grave danger. Padmé: From the Sith? Obi-Wan: From himself. Padmé, Anakin has turned to the dark side. Padmé: You’re wrong. How could you even say that? Obi-Wan: I have seen a- a security hologram… of him… killing younglings. Padmé: Not Anakin. He couldn’t. Obi-Wan: He was deceived by a lie. We all were. It appears that the chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith lord we’ve been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice. Padmé: I don’t believe you. I can’t. Obi-Wan: Padmé, I must find him. Padmé: You’re going to kill him, aren’t you? Obi-Wan: He has become a very great threat. Padmé: I can’t. Obi-Wan: Anakin is the father, isn’t he? I’m so sorry.
Honestly the way Anakin did things for years even before he became Vader, was so against the code he was meant to follow that I’m surprised he wasn’t expelled from the order. That would’ve been a good step towards his fall too.
Obi-Wan: Come, Anakin. Master Yoda has a new lesson today Anakin: I don’t wanna go, I’m way ahead of the other younglings. There’s nothing he could teach me. Meanwhile in the youngling training room Yoda: Today, Younglings. Learn the correct approach when an opponent retreats to an elevated level of ground from you we will
I absolutely love how at 20:03 Dooku is completely disgusted by the fact that Anakin used a whip in a duel. Really shows you how much more different Dooku was than your typical Sith Lord.
@@spiderboy43 One thing that I didn't like about the prequels is how they tried to make it seem like Palpatine and Sidious were two different characters until episode 3.
35:10 Man, I hope that scene is re-made in live action maybe in a flashback in the Ahsoka show, showing Ahsoka is seeing that conversation maybe through a vision.
if you took some one who had never seen the original trilogy and then had them sit through everything up until anakin turns to the darkside they would never guess anakin would betray everyone. He is such a good guy with a strong sense of justice and truly cares for all of his friends.
well she had more onscreen training than him so it's safe to assume she learnt that at some point. almost anything we see anakin do can just be explained as "oh well he's force jesus so it doesn't matter whether it's believable or not". if he knew how to do force healing then i wouldn't question it tbh, barriss could do it afaik and luminara too
Dankthony Daniels Force healing isn’t even supposed to exist, its literally the dumbest shit the sequels invented for more emotion since they have literally no likeable chaeacters apart from the OG cast.
People give him shit for the crying and the romantic stuff he did which is indeed a little cringe but tbh that was only in episode 2 in 3 he got much better and was one of my favorite parts of that movie his performance emotionally and physically
His nobility was used against him by a groomer and his circle of trust slowly eroded away, rendering it unable to save him. The show does a great job showing how the bridges between him and the Jedi burned away, how even Obi-Wan betrayed him (during the Rako Hardeen situation) and how Palpatine crept into his utmost trust.
I think Obi-Wan’s death then being told that he was alive and everyone but him knowing about it was like +50 anger points to him then Ahsoka leaving was like +100
The Mortis arc, in my opinion, was showing that it was planned from the beginning. Anakin had to become Darth Vader in order to eventually bring balance to the force.
@@paria1763 14:16 Notice Anakin's vision of Alderean being blown up is like Obi-Wan said when Alderean was hit he heard thousands of screams than nothing
Obi-Wan: A great leap forward often requires taking two steps back. Anakin: And sometimes all it requires, is the will to jump! How did that work out in the end Ani?
The scene of Anakin on Mortis. Subjigating two literal force beings. It’s no wonder palpatine made Vader a suit that purposely hindered him. The amount of raw power that anakin and Vader had is astounding to say the least.
The amount of control required to master Vapaad is absolutely immense. Windu would have been a good master but he would've made Anakin into an absolutely monstrous swordsman.
Obi-Wan: I’ve recalibrated the code, warning all surviving Jedi to stay away. Yoda: For the clones, to discover the recalibration.. A long time, it will take. Obi-Wan: Wait, Master. There is something I must know. Yoda: If into the security recordings you go. Only pain, will you find. Obi-Wan: I must know the truth, Master! Yoda: 😞 Obi-Wan: it can’t be. It can’t be! Emperor Palpatine (Hologram): You have done well, my new apprentice. Now, Lord Vader, go and bring peace to the Empire. Obi-Wan: I can’t watch any more. Yoda: Destroy the Sith, we must! Obi-Wan: Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin! Yoda: To fight this Lord Sidious.. Strong enough, you are not. Obi-Wan: He is like my brother. I cannot do it! Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is. Consumed by Darth Vader. Obi-Wan: I do not know where the Emperor has sent him. I don’t know where to look. Yoda: Use your feelings, Obi-Wan and find him you will.
Poor Anakin. Traumatised by so much loss. He never had a chance to be a child or learn to process his feelings because of the burden of feeling responsible for everyone he cares about. Afraid to be vulnerable with those who avoid, lie or encourage him to accept the inevitability of death, he obsesses over the idea that he cannot trust people to be safe without him. Unfortunately, such obsession leads to the destruction of all relationships he encounters and ultimately himself.
Anakin's emotions were like a clock bomb. He clearly suffered tremendously from his childhood and the death of his mother, yet no one helped him in the order except for telling him to forget about his emotions, add that to the continous stress of war and ther you have it, a jealous, irascible and tormented man.
Exactly. The Jedi's Buddhist-like denial of one's self, one's emotion and passions, only works if you're born into it, and sometimes not even then. Anakin's soul was born into the fires of tribulation and suffering and made to feel impotent, worthless, and unimportant by everyone except his mother and a few friends until the age of 9. Because of this, his ego constantly craved satiation (especially after the revelation of the Prophecy and his powers, which were said to potentially be beyond any other Jedi), and no wonder he would have such a strong emotional attachment to his mother, to Padme, the only lover he'd ever known, to Ahsoka, one of his best friends and his only pupil whom he believed the Jedi had betrayed and failed, and finally to Obi-Wan, his best friend and mentor who he ultimately came to see as merely a puppet of the organization and ideology that had failed him, his loved ones, and the galaxy. Failed him because they told him his emotions and desires had no value in comparison to the responsibility he'd been given in bringing balance to the force, a responsibility he had never chosen, making him feel like a slave all over again. Failed him because instead of acknowledging the validity of his emotions and making him feel valued while ultimately trying to help him move past them and find a sense of peace, or at least be able to maintain control over them, they treated him like any normal Jedi student and basically just told him "emotion bad, serenity good," and chastised him whenever his emotions got the better of him. Qui-Gon perfectly understood that this was the wrong way to go about things and I feel that if he had trained Anakin, he would have turned out very differently. Then you add in to the mix a figure like Palpatine, another older, seemingly kindly mentor figure to Anakin who stoked the fires of Anakin's misgivings and doubts about the Jedi, who stroked his ego, who promised him what the Jedi could not deliver. It was a really masterful job on Palpatine's part. Finally, you add to the mix a terrible galaxy-wide war and the constant battles, and it's no wonder that Anakin turned out the way he did. When you really think about it, while Anakin still bears ultimate responsibility for everything he did and chose, he was as much a victim as he was a perpetrator.
My life is as much like as him, I'm alone and no help from anyone and I'm afraid that I will join the dark side... I don't want it but I feel I can't already resist to my anger inside of me..
It's those small moments that remind you of what/who he becomes and what he does. It's actually really sad when you remember, that anakin risked his life and was a real hero for a long time, but fell and became the ruthless and monstrous Vader...

When you rewatch this show, you realize even Padmè lead Anakin closer to the dark side. Not only her whole BS with Clovis, but their differing views on the war and Palpatine to the point where even he believed Padmè turned against him. It’s honestly no wonder Luke was the only one to bring Anakin back, aside from his mother, Ahsoka, R2 and 3PO, he’s the only truly positive relationship he’s ever had.
And the sad part is that he never got a chance to spend his time with Luke .

I hate how he became Vader. But it has his destiny to become Vader. I watched the whole series of TCWs, twice actually, and every time I was hoping he would NOT become Vader. Sure, Vader is a bad mofo, but he did not deserve that life. He lost so much, it's hurtful. I hope they bring back Anakin in Episode IX, since they're bringing back Emperor Palpatine. Anakin was supposed to be in Episode VII, or VIII, but they canned it. Nah, man, bring him back. Not Vader, but Anakin, the Chosen One!

It seems Anakin tends to develop very strong attachment to the women in his life, I think it may have something to do with him living with his mother his entire childhood, and the way she died.
That would be 100% fair
he just a simp
jokes aside besides a few men like obi wan most men have treated him like shit.
I concur, but not only to women. He had a very strong attachment to Obi-Wan, which is why he felt so betrayed after their duel, and he grew a very strong attachment to Palpatine as well, who he viewed as almost as father figure at times.
What’s worse is every woman he’s ever met got cut out of his life either by death or just straight up ran away

Anakin has been a slave for his entire existance, never a master himself, until his death.
Born into slavery. When he became a Jedi and thought he could say goodbye to his life as a slave, he still ended up with people who told him what to do and what to think.
And even though everyone kept saying how great his skills are and how he's the "Chosen one", he was always seemingly pushed down. It must've been the part where he was declared "part of the council, but denied the title of Master" that must've really cemented in his mind that he was never gonna be free at this rate. I believe that's why he desired the rank of Master so badly.
Palpatine always gave him the impression that he deserved more than he was given and often "helped" him make decisions for himself, giving only more reason to trust him over the Jedi Order, which was clearly flawed.
Sadly, it was all a trick and he ended up once more being a slave to a master.
Darth Vader must've delusioned himself to be bigger than he was or accepted that he was forever doomed to be a slave from begin to end.
"When I left you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master."
"Only a master of evil, Darth."
Excellent analysis! Additionally, it was his attachments that helped him get through his struggles. He ended up relying on them too much, which only aided in his being tricked by Palpatine.
Also the fact Palpatine groomed anakin from a young age. Anakin needed a father figure, Obi-Wan was like a brother, Palpatine gave anakin that father role. also the Jedi had lost their way, when Anakin told Mace, "this is not the jedi way". Mace told him we need to kill the Sitting representative to the Republic because he was too dangerous . Anakin was like well this is the same shit and went full Sith.
except that he wasn't a slave when he was in the order but the jedi himself. he just refused to take at least some responsibilith
Anakin: "I was in the dark as much as you were"
Palpatine: "Really? Interesting...."

11:05 I just realized - Anakin’s rest on Mortis was to force both the Son and Daughter to free both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka - but Anakin took it further and forced them to bow, signifying dominance over them. That was not the test. The test was whether he could liberate, not dominate. 🤔
But no one - not the Father, Obi-Wan or Ahsoka - seemed to notice.
I supposed this is why the whole scene turns into night mode as he grad some dark side abilities to control them both
Actually he did stop at making them let them go, aside from the force throw. It was only after they kept attacking his loved ones he resorted to domination. Which I think is a better summation of Anakin's character
I see a connection it resembles Anakin bring balances and liberating the force that why he the chosen one

I love Anakin's darker side. I have an odd love of protagonists who aren't just infallible bastions of purity. Especially those who dip into the darker aspect of things.
It really makes them so much more real
@@multifanderisverycrafty Yeah. Anakin had so much personality especially in the Clone Wars series
He was lied to by the Council and told to suppress his emotions on many occasions, was consistently doing all the major missions whilst other masters on the Council practically never left the Temple, thought he'd seen his best friend killed, lost his padawan whom he loved like family because she'd been wrongly accused and lost faith in the Order, then had visions of his pregnant wife dying and the only guy to offer him a way to save her was the Sith Lord who'd been a constant ally and mentor to him.
With the exception of a certain few, namely Luke, I honestly think any character who'd gone through the same would've turned to the Dark Side.
I'd say Obi-Wan is another exception
33:48 “Both of you, stop this!”

Ok let's be real. Everytime Anakin has genuine trauma and needs help the jedi told him to bottle his feelings. Of course he was destined to explode. His only solice in life his friends and wife yet he lost them all. Tragic
And they knew he began his training at a later age than any other Jedi so they should have expected he would need extra help learning how to control his emotions. This was their entire reservation about accepting him in the first place and yet when they did, they made no effort to address this concern.
Anakin skywalker was use to for help ahsoka tano and Obi wan to use defense and to take down Dark side and green destined at to powerfuly deathsinger
That's part of the bigger problem. Emotions in themselves are a path to the Dark side, but they aren't the Dark side. But the Jedi dogma puts them as such. The Jedi inherently cannot serve the living Force this way because all emotions dark or light are inherently aspects of the living Force. The Jedi lost their connection with the living Force, became stagnated and served the Senate over the living Force and they were destroyed. The Sith corrupt the force and are considered a cancer and were destroyed also.
@@erikdayne5429 Because Quai-Gon died. He would help him, raise him better than Obi-Wan better than Windu.

Ok, so re-watching this really makes me appreciate how they actually make the Fall make SENSE. That and I feel so sorry for those droids who knew they were scrapped the moment Skywalker showed up.
I like how Anakin values the connections he’s made with people and robots alike. He is angered when Obi-Wan discredits Anakin’s worries of R2’s safety, you can tell this is a kid who valued the only real relationship he had with his mother before he was taken in by the Jedi. And after losing her, he is convicted to keep hold onto the bonds he has left. This is the exact reason as to why he turns to the dark side, his fear of losing the people he loves. It’s such an amazingly personal story about how the life of one man can decide the fate of the whole world, much like many of history’s worst dictators. And yet, can you really blame Anakin? When he is told to sacrifice his bonds for the greater good, can you really expect someone to bow their head and follow dogmatically. Like Nietzsche said, ‘What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil’, and I think that applies especially well to the tragedy of Anakin.

Hayden’s acting as Anakin was amazing. He will always bring an amazing performance. The scene where Anakin sees his future is so sad. He saw all the horrible things he would later do
It also amazes me how the Jedi almost never see a person turning to the Darkside. For all their knowledge of it many Jedi have shown signs of the Darkside taking over and the Jedi just continue on like nothing happened. They are arrogant in their own way even though they preach against it, and have failed to save lives because of their strict adherence to the Jedi code
You see that as he gets older and angrier, he starts to use his signature force choke, even when it's not a jedi technique
luke used it
Luke had no context for what Jedi of old were like though. Or at least had less of a context. Luke can best be described as a Grey Jedi. This is especially true in Legends canon and his new Jedi order.
Some Jedi have in some battles
And then he loses all animation 🤣
Force choke is ok to use in battles but I think because Anakin uses it for torture, this is where it is wrong. Even Ahsoka uses force choke sometimes

Windu would have been a good master but he would've made Anakin into an absolutely monstrous swordsman.
The tandem would be named "Pulp Fiction"
Eric J anakin would’ve been an even stronger duelist, but there personalities probably would’ve clashed like they did in the clone wars

He would just let him swear at a beanbag I see it as reasonable
Obi-Wan: I’ve recalibrated the code, warning all surviving Jedi to stay away.
Yoda: For the clones, to discover the recalibration.. A long time, it will take.
Obi-Wan: Wait, Master. There is something I must know.
Yoda: If into the security recordings you go. Only pain, will you find.
Obi-Wan: I must know the truth, Master!
Yoda: 😞
Obi-Wan: it can’t be. It can’t be!
Emperor Palpatine (Hologram): You have done well, my new apprentice. Now, Lord Vader, go and bring peace to the Empire.
Obi-Wan: I can’t watch any more.
Yoda: Destroy the Sith, we must!
Obi-Wan: Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin!
Yoda: To fight this Lord Sidious.. Strong enough, you are not.
Obi-Wan: He is like my brother. I cannot do it!
Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is. Consumed by Darth Vader.
Obi-Wan: I do not know where the Emperor has sent him. I don’t know where to look.
Yoda: Use your feelings, Obi-Wan and find him you will.
Poor Anakin. Traumatised by so much loss. He never had a chance to be a child or learn to process his feelings because of the burden of feeling responsible for everyone he cares about. Afraid to be vulnerable with those who avoid, lie or encourage him to accept the inevitability of death, he obsesses over the idea that he cannot trust people to be safe without him. Unfortunately, such obsession leads to the destruction of all relationships he encounters and ultimately himself.
Such a trafic yet beautiful story
Anakin's emotions were like a clock bomb. He clearly suffered tremendously from his childhood and the death of his mother, yet no one helped him in the order except for telling him to forget about his emotions, add that to the continous stress of war and ther you have it, a jealous, irascible and tormented man.
Exactly. The Jedi's Buddhist-like denial of one's self, one's emotion and passions, only works if you're born into it, and sometimes not even then. Anakin's soul was born into the fires of tribulation and suffering and made to feel impotent, worthless, and unimportant by everyone except his mother and a few friends until the age of 9. Because of this, his ego constantly craved satiation (especially after the revelation of the Prophecy and his powers, which were said to potentially be beyond any other Jedi), and no wonder he would have such a strong emotional attachment to his mother, to Padme, the only lover he'd ever known, to Ahsoka, one of his best friends and his only pupil whom he believed the Jedi had betrayed and failed, and finally to Obi-Wan, his best friend and mentor who he ultimately came to see as merely a puppet of the organization and ideology that had failed him, his loved ones, and the galaxy. Failed him because they told him his emotions and desires had no value in comparison to the responsibility he'd been given in bringing balance to the force, a responsibility he had never chosen, making him feel like a slave all over again. Failed him because instead of acknowledging the validity of his emotions and making him feel valued while ultimately trying to help him move past them and find a sense of peace, or at least be able to maintain control over them, they treated him like any normal Jedi student and basically just told him "emotion bad, serenity good," and chastised him whenever his emotions got the better of him. Qui-Gon perfectly understood that this was the wrong way to go about things and I feel that if he had trained Anakin, he would have turned out very differently.
Then you add in to the mix a figure like Palpatine, another older, seemingly kindly mentor figure to Anakin who stoked the fires of Anakin's misgivings and doubts about the Jedi, who stroked his ego, who promised him what the Jedi could not deliver. It was a really masterful job on Palpatine's part.
Finally, you add to the mix a terrible galaxy-wide war and the constant battles, and it's no wonder that Anakin turned out the way he did.
When you really think about it, while Anakin still bears ultimate responsibility for everything he did and chose, he was as much a victim as he was a perpetrator.
@@MonsterDeath to me it's more like split personality disorder as well as Vader trying to take control in his anger
Wasnt this a kids show?
My life is as much like as him, I'm alone and no help from anyone and I'm afraid that I will join the dark side... I don't want it but I feel I can't already resist to my anger inside of me..
@@MonsterDeath I'm bipolar, and Borderline among other comorbid "conditions"...I'd do exactly the same and "worse".
“Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be the death of me?” - Obi Wan to Anakin
Hmmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm is that after anakin loses his legs?
when adn where?
@@zer0751 in Star Wars episode II
@@damix8944 I meant time stamp in the video
8:00 I love this scene. You can see Anakin’s sociopath side here. Scene is so well done.
Literally that scene gave me Darth Vader vibe and the Imperial March song made it over the top! ❤
Man, even when anakin fell to the dark side, he didn’t want to kill obi-wan. Shows how far he’d fallen when he became darth Vader
*has Light Saber up to Jabba's neck*
Anakin: Mighty Jabba, I came here to negotiate!
*_Ah, the negotiator._*
Aha the funi
It’s aggressive negotiations
the negotiations were short
I love the subtle “Imperial March” that plays whenever Anakin gets tempted.
I love how they zoom in on his machine arm sometimes as well.
The power of music in audio-visual content
It's those small moments that remind you of what/who he becomes and what he does. It's actually really sad when you remember, that anakin risked his life and was a real hero for a long time, but fell and became the ruthless and monstrous Vader...
If you read the Adult Version of the Episode 2 book, you learn just how gruesome Anakin slaughtered the Tusken Raiders.
"As long as I live, no harm will ever come to you, Chancellor!"
*yeet*
*y e e t*
SUPER YEET
Don't forget he told Palpatine their fates would be the same as Obi Wans, i.e. all 3 killed by Darth Vader.
Oh my boy, though much harm shall come to you
Doesn’t Anakin throw Palpatine down a reactor shaft?
"I will become the most powerful jedi ever."
The cruel irony is just how true that statement will become.

This guy watched the ENTIRE triology and The Clone Wars to make this video. Respect.
I mean, I did and more than once for my own pleasure
26:45
Anakin a few movies later:
Yeets palpatine down a reactor shaft
And he dies shortly afterwards
"I'll never join the Dark Side willingly"
T-T
Well, that was true. He didn't wake up and say "Imma join the dark side"
@@bouteilledeau1463 JAJAJAJAJA! X'D...
Now, in all seriousness, I love how the Prequels Trilogy have much more sense now because of this series. Altogether, Prequels and _Clone Wars_ make the Original Trilogy have a full background of events. Lovely...
We shall see
