Anakin kills Younglings: "Let him cook" Anakin becomes Vader: "Let him cook" Anakin tortures daughter: "Let him cook" Anakin tortures/imprisons daughter's lover and fights his son: "Let him cook" Anakin fights son for the last time: "Let him cook" Anakin saves son and destroys the Sith by killing both existing Sith: "See, told y'all"
Anakin was never a slave as a Jedi. He had agency and could have left the order at any time just as Ahsoka did. Anakin chose the dark side with that agency. Once a Sith he was not a slave to it, but consumed by it.
ChairForceOne he was a slave to Sidious. Sidious continued to give him orders and missions to accomplish, and he was disgraced if he failed. Anakin (Vader) was truly a slave throughout his whole life, until Luke set him free.
@@thegame346 he practically was one, yes he could have leave but he was attached to obi wan and all the friends he had as a jedi if he would have left he would've been able to let go of things and the story would've ended a lot differently if that were the case
@@attackfleed1301 that's an EXTREMELY loose definition of a slave. Definitely too loose to use the same word for his period with the jedi along with the period on tatooine when he was an actual slave in every meaning of the word
His turn to the dark side hits so hard because it’s so realistic, losing your mother after promising to save her, foreseeing your loved ones death with out knowing the situation surrounding it but having someone instantly tell you and give you glimpses of a power that could possibly save them from death.... who wouldn’t fall to that... who honestly can refrain from saying they wouldn’t if they had the chance to save that one person... no matter the cost
I'm sorry, but Anakin's turn was TERRIBLE. "Oh, I must save Padme, she must live! But..No, Mace Windu! You can't kill Palpatine, I need him! Oh no, I've cut your arm and saved the evil man! What have I done! Now I must kill children and have snake eyes, because NOW I'm evil!". I don't buy it.
But that's just it. "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few...or the one." You can ignore that now and than as a Starfleet Captain...but NEVER as a Jedi.
Stephen64138 That's why I'm fortunate enough to possess Legends continuity. Thrawn's Imperial Remnant, Palpatine's return, Jacen becoming Darth Caedus, the Yuuzhan Vong war, Darth Krayt's One Sith Empire... there's so many better stories out there than the crap Disney is forcing down our throats while demanding we thank them for the privilege.
Hassan Syed Maybe the way it was portrayed was bad, but the story itself was pretty good. - A boy born a slave destined to save the galaxy from a great evil. - The boy trains, struggling to overcome his continuous loss (Qui-Gon, his mother, his arm, his apprentice) - The boy grows, being championed as the hero to many and an inspiration of hope during a time of darkness. - The boy learns of further loss to come and desperately seeks to save the life of the woman he loves. - In his desperation, the boy pledges himself to the very thing he was destined to destroy. - The boy loses everything he sought to protect; his friends, his Republic, his wife and child, and his power, and once again becomes a slave to another master.
Stephen64138 True. The main part I liked about the prequels was the lightsaber duels and the battles. I mean, compare the Battle of Geonosis with the Battle of Endor, and it's a night and day difference. But I also liked seeing more of Vader's backstory; how we were able to see the story how he was actually a victim rather than a villain. Also agree; the sequels are pure trash. That's why I recommend Legends continuity.
Guess I'll have to bring some sand to do an exorcism to pull you on the side of the one who stands above everything, the master of the highground, the one who trolled the most evil guys and is the true hero of the story.
George always refers to the first 6 as "The tragedy of Darth Vader" and these 10 minutes perfectly encapsulate that. Anakin was always a good man but the pressures of being the chosen one in a time of war and the Order's approach in almost every facet pushed him away and into Palpatine's hands. But despite the pain, suffering and death in Vader, Anakin was always there. That story is the beauty that is Star Wars.
You know you did something right when you take a hated villian when they first came out and turned them into someone the audience loves and will litterally cry for cause of how tragic he is.
And then the Sequels or at least TROS ruin anakins redemption many so called fans don't understand star wars if they can't cry or admit the Sequels were bad
I mean, damn, the tears start rolling with the opening scene of young Anakin's, "I wanna be the first one to see 'em all" followed immediately by a Vader staring out to the stars 😭 What gets me the most through this WONDERFUL edit is Padme being the one who ultimately calls Vader back to the light. "Come back, I love you."
When I first watched this video I was drunk and I literally sobbed for half an hour, my heart breaking for Anakin as if I truly knew him. I really feel like I got to go on a wonderful journey with a friend and then watch him slowly lose his mind💔
When I felt myself falling into active alcoholism I became obsessed with Darth Vader and these types of videos on UA-cam. I related his fall to the dark side to my fall to alcoholism. I used to be like young Anakin in the Phantom Menance, a bright happy young boy full of dreams and now I was a man where I could see my life slowly start to fall apart, being in a state of either drunk or hungover, the dark side changing me into a bitter, sarcastic, angry, restless, depressed person. Anakin losing his wife through his own failures was a metaphor for my failing marriage (note I wasn't physically abusive like Anakin) and I was pushing her away. I would get wasted drunk and watch these 'fall to the darkside' videos over and over again and just cry. I'm happy to say I'm 2 years sober next month and I'm thriving. I literally chose the light side and every single moment I'm full of this all encompassing Buddha-like joy and wellbeing. "You were right, tell your sister you were right"
I can’t watch revenge of the sith without crying, the first time I saw this I cried, then a few weeks later I went to Reno he starwars and when I got to revenge of the sith, I cried so hard when obiwan gave him the speech at the end
Anakin's story has always been one full of tragedy mostly because he tried to live up to being the hero he thought the Jedi were supposed to be. Because he was born a slave and experienced its harshness, he was sympathetic to people who were generally looked down upon. He always thought the Jedi were guardians of peace, heroes who freed slaves, destroyed criminal cartels like the Hutts or Black Sun, saved the day, etc. But as the years went by, he began to realize the Jedi weren't who he thought they were. He was considered the hero of the Republic not just because he would lead his troops to victory while fighting with them on the front lines, but because he'd refuse to leave anyone behind. Whether it was clones pinned down in a hot zone, or slaves held in a Separatist base that was about to be bombed, Anakin refused to leave anyone to die. He was among the few Jedi that liked the clones and actually considered them as people rather than things that were manufactured in a laboratory. After how many Jedi betrayed the Republic during the Clone War, and how his own apprentice was hunted down despite her innocence, Anakin began to have his doubts about the Order, which were only further cemented, when, as Darth Vader, he learned the Council had kept bounty hunters, cyborgs and low level Force users who were capable of killing Jedi imprisoned within a secret facility without trial. From his point of view, he saw that the Jedi were evil.
Anakin Skywalker has always been my favorite character, there is so much to who he is at his core. He was hero, but also a victim. He was indeed very powerful. He caused pain as Vader but he also felt pain. He was a young innocent and troubled child in episode 1, a conflicted and barely held together young man who was torn between many things and damaged by loss and grief and guilt by episode 2, and by the time of episode 3 he'd been through so much pain and loss and seen so much darkness and evil throughout the clone wars that it broke him down even more and none of the Jedi could ever understand what he'd been through and his struggles nor did they even try to understand. And in the end, he was a broken man placed in a black suit, believing he deserved this for the things he'd done, believing he was beyond redemption, that he deserved to be the thing he hated most beyond himself: a slave. It took one person his own son not giving up on him when all others including Vader himself had, to remind him who he truly was and he found himself again. He faced his death as a Jedi Knight and a father, he truly was and is the most important part of Star Wars. I'll always love him for who he truly was at his core: a good but flawed man who was made into a broken slave that found his way back again. Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader IS Star Wars. This has always been his story.
Anikin is by far my favorite character in Star Wars. His tragic story was such amazing!! He never really wanted to go to the Dark Side he was just seduced and tricked by Chancellor Palpatine. I have a theory my friend told me about how Padme died. He told me Anikin never killed her but Palpatine did. Palpatine took her life force away and gave it to Anikin so he can live and become Dath Vader. Palpatine drained her life force while Anikin was become Vader. Very very Tragic!!
@Jonsin 1459 Vader represents Anakin's complete failure,Vader had to literally kill Anakin off well try and kill him,just to Get the reminder of the Failure out of his head
So, Star Wars Theory has covered this if anyone is interested… Possibly: ua-cam.com/video/-bXIh7WZuFc/v-deo.html (four years ago) No: ua-cam.com/video/7H9mk-cJqao/v-deo.html (seven months ago)
i love Anakin as well, i always felt for him so much, he was manipulated most of his life and made out to be something he isnt. Just like Arthas in World of Warcraft as well, They were manipulated to become the monsters they they became, but they were not truly evil, just used as weapons by their manipulators.
Everytime I see the part where Padme was like no come back please and then he turns back to the light side it always gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up
You should see Vader : Shards Of The Past from Star Wars Theory and scene 38 reimagened by Fixitinpost, the Vader Kenobi lightsaber fight from Episode 4, both are awesome
LouiseJulie, you're so emotional and eloquent. I wish I could communicate my emotions as well as you do. I have several of your reactions bookmarked because you say and feel what I wish I could. I can't thank you enough for being so passionate and able to express it. For an old guy, you do my heart SO much good. I watch every one of your videos. It's all so amazing! I hope you are enjoying life and happy every day. I love watching Star Wars stuff with other Star Wars fans! Thank you for uploading your experience!
Watching this video made me realize how amazing the story behind Star Wars truly is. I just wish sometime in the future, we can get a full remake of all the movies. They deserve one cohesive vision and to be made with the utmost respect. The movies don't do this story justice. And I say this as a HUGE Star Wars fan.
Yes!!! I love that lightsaber scene mixed with Yoda and the Emporers fight my favorite in the saga. I cried so hard in the theater as a kid lol this movie and universe means so much to me lol
7:49 i cried too hard. had to stop. call me weak. i don't care. this is too much for me. perfect reaction. im with you! edit: i really cried like a little child. FFFCKK!!!
@@ajwsings he didn't, palpatine and his 1000 clones plus his granddaughter plus Kylo, Snoke and the Ren knights. There was more dark side users than light users.
disneystarwars is non-canon fanfiction; they openly admitted they ignored George`s ideas/notes, therefore it`s their own bigoted direction and not lore. Also lore has to carry on from the other stories with respect and cohesion and disneystarwars tries to destroy most of it. No way canon, just what has been made and starwars to them is a Platform.
HFP perfectly captured the death of Padme being the root of all his pain and suffering and rage and unleashing it onto others as well as her love and Luke being what is left of that being what brings him back.
RIP Anakin Skywalker....we will remember you not for what you did in the service of an evil Sith Lord who only used words to manipulate others...but we will remember you for your courage, bravery, for never leaving those you cared about behind...and much more. You may or may not have been the Chosen One...but you were without doubt one of the best Jedi of your time. Lastly we will remember you for enduring the pain and sadness for so long...only to save your son at the last moment...and ending the Emperor for good (Disney can go to hell, Sidious did not return past Episode 6 Return of the Jedi...not according to Lucas original books).
Gotta love the way the Sequels looked at this story and said, “Nah, the story obviously isn’t finished. Needs some ad-libbed soft reboot story. Nah, Anakin doesn’t matter, look at this cool new girl, REY! Look, she killed Palpatine! Not Anakin, REY!” This is the reason I don’t consider the Sequels canon. Rogue One? Heck yeah! Solo? Eh, maybe. The Seqeuls? F*ck no.
Truthfully, many fans watched the sequel trilogy and decided the same. If Disney wants to retcon two generations of community built lore, brick by brick...book by book; how can they stop us from denying "their" canon? I believe episode 7-9 never happened, and I'll take all my EU Lore back thank you very much lol XD
I love this video so so much. It's one of my top favorite videos. It's so emotional but it tells the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker so well! He's one of my top favorite characters in all of Star Wars. There were so many layers to him that it also made him not only a great villain but an amazing character. He deserved so much better! 😭🥺
When padme was saying come back when luck was being shocked, to me that is what went though his head as he stood there and it was padme that brought him back.
For Vader to have that memory of speaking with the ghost of Qui-Gon at the end telling him "you'll find another way" as he takes that last glance out at the stars where the Millenium Falcon just jumped away, and considering what had just transpired on Bespin trying to convince Luke to join him, it genuinely makes me feel sorry for him. It's also a great way to interpret Vader's silence in that moment, you know, why he doesn't immediately strangle half the bridge crew for losing the Falcon, AGAIN. Somewhere in there his heart was set on overthrowing Palpatine with Luke, and when Luke got away, Vader is left there thinking 'Luke was my only chance, what do I do now? I can't defeat the Emperor alone and no one else would stand a chance'. Then THAT memory pops up and he just strides across the bridge, too lost in thought to care about punishing his officers. I loved how HFP showed the good in him fighting to get out, that buried deep down in there somewere he still holds on to the belief that he is the Chosen One in that moment, and that one way or another his destiny is supposed to be to bring balance to the Force......somehow. "you'll find another way". Beautifully edited there!
I love the idea that everyone Vader chokes is him seeing how close he can get before killing them, also seeing the light come out of people’s eyes, like he did to Padme, he misses her and kills everyone the same way to feel his and hers pain. I love anakin
The only moment when anakin wasn’t a slave was when he killed the emperor and saw his sons face, that’s why he said “you already have, Luke.” After Luke said he needed to save him 😁
LouiseJulie it makes me cry every time mainly because of the music and the clips they used to edit throughout the video. I love Anakin but Vader is my favorite character after Luke Skywalker.
Please please react to the Star Wars Red Five trailer! Is a Mashup with the Top Gun Maverick trailer and the Original Trilogy Luke is amazing! There is also the side-by-side comparison that I recommend you see later, and the Top Gun intro with the Battle of Yavin...
Thats the crazy thing about those episodes in TCW Anakin falls to the darkside so easily as soon as someone shows him his future, and its not like he came back on his own either... THEY WIPED HIS MEMORY, so he had no knowledge of his future he doesnt remember anything he was shown by the son
Oh my God! I'm all in tears. This is a very moving video ... Anakin Skywalker is the best, despite the fact that he became a Sith, in my heart he will remain a Jedi FOREVER!
Glad you randomly shows up in my home feed. Cuz that was really well done. Everything I already know, so to see what Disney has done is just beyond words. I'll never watch those 3 movies again for the rest of my life.
He brought balance to the force, then he destroyed it. He was a hero for me then he became a monster. He is one of the greatest character I ever knew. Legend of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
It is almost a ayer of you publish this video, I am glad that people of your age enjoy the tales of Star Wars, and that you get so moved of it, there is still hope, for mi it was for many years, hope you still getting to enjoy and learn about these great history, mi best regards for you.
alot of people over look the scene in return of the jedi where Vader clashed his saber with Luke everyone thinks he was saving the emperor but what Lucas revealed was that while he was conflicted he was actually stopping Luke from making the same mistake he did.
Scratch that last comment... Anakins first words as Vader may be the most heartbreaking thing I have heard.. He is almost resigned..he knows he is trapped...
It's great that you're finally doing reactions! I once asked you during one one of your streams if you had ever seen the swtor cinematic trailers and you said you didn't. I hope you will react to them, they are awesome. Now some people find it confusing to where to start because they weren't released chronologically so I want to help you with that. They also for some reason changed the voice over dialogue of 2 of the trailers and those versions are kinda lame so if you're going to react to it I would love it if you reacted to the right versions. I'll link the videos so you don't accidentally get the wrong voice over dialogue versions The order that you should watch is: Return ua-cam.com/video/mm4JEZudf0c/v-deo.html Hope ua-cam.com/video/1ToztqqDcaY/v-deo.html Deceived ua-cam.com/video/YdgmH9Vv2-I/v-deo.html Sacrifice ua-cam.com/video/Nzq9epS2b1A/v-deo.html Betrayed ua-cam.com/video/LbpDxrew4A0/v-deo.html The first 3 have amazing action and the last 2 are more emotional.
HFP's tributes are so emotionally breathtaking, you've taken your first step into a much larger world. Please do Kenobi when you find an opportunity, also "Greatest Teacher Failure Is" and "Path of Skywalker".
I dont know if you will see this but one of my favourite fan edits is the tragedy of the clones by SWFT as it is just the perfect tribute to the clones. I would highly recommend watching it.
The real tear-jerker is that Qui-Gon never lost hope or faith from the beginning to the very end
Anakin kills Younglings: "Let him cook"
Anakin becomes Vader: "Let him cook"
Anakin tortures daughter: "Let him cook"
Anakin tortures/imprisons daughter's lover and fights his son: "Let him cook"
Anakin fights son for the last time: "Let him cook"
Anakin saves son and destroys the Sith by killing both existing Sith: "See, told y'all"
Even after death, he still believed in Anakin.
He was always a slave,
First on Tatoiine,
Then to the Jedi,
Then to the Sith,
Until Luke set him free.
Not my original line but I found it powerful.
I've seen that line on the original video. Anakin deserved so much better.

To me, the story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader will always be one of the greatest ever told.

I can't thank you enough for being so passionate and able to express it. For an old guy, you do my heart SO much good. I watch every one of your videos. It's all so amazing! I hope you are enjoying life and happy every day. I love watching Star Wars stuff with other Star Wars fans! Thank you for uploading your experience!
HFP does some amazing work. I recommend Kenobi next by him .
+LouiseJulie_ I think Anakin’s mother’s death is what truly made him take the step to the Dark Side
That definitely started it. All the stuff with Ahsoka leaving and the fear of Padme dying just shoved him further along the path
It’s pretty much the Jedi fault for anikan turning they wouldn’t trust him
@@killiandolan782 There's so many things that played into his fall to becoming Vader
Also do Kenobi, The greatest teacher failure is and the 501st our duty. All made by HFP too.
Watching this video made me realize how amazing the story behind Star Wars truly is. I just wish sometime in the future, we can get a full remake of all the movies. They deserve one cohesive vision and to be made with the utmost respect. The movies don't do this story justice. And I say this as a HUGE Star Wars fan.
Im crying because the new trilogy ruins all of this.
It was such a perfect ending but then disney was like nO ThEre'S mORe
What new trilogy? 🙄 I only have I-VI.
@@capowable ep 7-9 who??
it doesn't ruin it if you don't acknowledge their existence
like why you being an idiot talking crazy
sequels after episode 6? your talkin shit dude.
Episode 7-9 Is not part of the story
The Suns can't set if there is no horizon... you may fire when ready.
lmao
Yes!!! I love that lightsaber scene mixed with Yoda and the Emporers fight my favorite in the saga. I cried so hard in the theater as a kid lol this movie and universe means so much to me lol
Anikan always called someone his master until Luke set him free
7:49 i cried too hard. had to stop. call me weak. i don't care. this is too much for me. perfect reaction. im with you! edit: i really cried like a little child. FFFCKK!!!
I love how Anakin had this huge journey just for palpatine to come back
This music is officially my funeral song. Anakin is and always has been my favorite character
"You will bring balance to the force... until JJ and Ryan strike in the next trilogy. then all the prequels and originals will mean nothing"
Lol
Anakin still brought balance you fool
@@ajwsings he didn't, palpatine and his 1000 clones plus his granddaughter plus Kylo, Snoke and the Ren knights.
There was more dark side users than light users.
disneystarwars is non-canon fanfiction; they openly admitted they ignored George`s ideas/notes, therefore it`s their own bigoted direction and not lore. Also lore has to carry on from the other stories with respect and cohesion and disneystarwars tries to destroy most of it. No way canon, just what has been made and starwars to them is a Platform.
HFP perfectly captured the death of Padme being the root of all his pain and suffering and rage and unleashing it onto others as well as her love and Luke being what is left of that being what brings him back.
RIP Anakin Skywalker....we will remember you not for what you did in the service of an evil Sith Lord who only used words to manipulate others...but we will remember you for your courage, bravery, for never leaving those you cared about behind...and much more. You may or may not have been the Chosen One...but you were without doubt one of the best Jedi of your time. Lastly we will remember you for enduring the pain and sadness for so long...only to save your son at the last moment...and ending the Emperor for good (Disney can go to hell, Sidious did not return past Episode 6 Return of the Jedi...not according to Lucas original books).
Gotta love the way the Sequels looked at this story and said, “Nah, the story obviously isn’t finished. Needs some ad-libbed soft reboot story. Nah, Anakin doesn’t matter, look at this cool new girl, REY! Look, she killed Palpatine! Not Anakin, REY!”
This is the reason I don’t consider the Sequels canon. Rogue One? Heck yeah! Solo? Eh, maybe. The Seqeuls? F*ck no.
Anakin still killed Darth Sidious even though he was brought back. Check out wookiepedia
Clay Brazil What does it matter if the Sith ended up returning, and the Jedi were wiped out all over again?
Truthfully, many fans watched the sequel trilogy and decided the same. If Disney wants to retcon two generations of community built lore, brick by brick...book by book; how can they stop us from denying "their" canon? I believe episode 7-9 never happened, and I'll take all my EU Lore back thank you very much lol XD
Gojirawars 03 that doesn’t change the fact that Sidious was killed at the Battle of Endor. I have spoken
Gojirawars 03 the sequels are abominations of storytelling.
"Kenobi" by HFP is even better than this one :)
Doubtful but to each of his own i guess
Kenobi is amazing, and really shows you that despite all the loss Anakin faced in his life, he could have resisted.
TRUTH.
Kenobi and The Greatest Teacher Failure Is are much better.
yes pls
i also cried to this video. such a beautiful story. when he says "You were right about me, tell your sister you were riiiigghht" Tears
I love this video so so much. It's one of my top favorite videos. It's so emotional but it tells the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker so well! He's one of my top favorite characters in all of Star Wars. There were so many layers to him that it also made him not only a great villain but an amazing character. He deserved so much better! 😭🥺
When padme was saying come back when luck was being shocked, to me that is what went though his head as he stood there and it was padme that brought him back.
The Broken Promise is absolutely amazing, you should react to it.
Yes, she should! Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/pJvm5VXzJpg/v-deo.html
You should do more of this guy’s Star Wars tributes
Is there a full reaction video to Fallen Order (Order 66)? I saw the little snippet on IG. That part got me emotional too. And the ending with Vader
ua-cam.com/video/QbCb9iliXVM/v-deo.html&t :D
LouiseJulie_ thank you!!!
For Vader to have that memory of speaking with the ghost of Qui-Gon at the end telling him "you'll find another way" as he takes that last glance out at the stars where the Millenium Falcon just jumped away, and considering what had just transpired on Bespin trying to convince Luke to join him, it genuinely makes me feel sorry for him. It's also a great way to interpret Vader's silence in that moment, you know, why he doesn't immediately strangle half the bridge crew for losing the Falcon, AGAIN. Somewhere in there his heart was set on overthrowing Palpatine with Luke, and when Luke got away, Vader is left there thinking 'Luke was my only chance, what do I do now? I can't defeat the Emperor alone and no one else would stand a chance'. Then THAT memory pops up and he just strides across the bridge, too lost in thought to care about punishing his officers. I loved how HFP showed the good in him fighting to get out, that buried deep down in there somewere he still holds on to the belief that he is the Chosen One in that moment, and that one way or another his destiny is supposed to be to bring balance to the Force......somehow. "you'll find another way". Beautifully edited there!
I love the idea that everyone Vader chokes is him seeing how close he can get before killing them, also seeing the light come out of people’s eyes, like he did to Padme, he misses her and kills everyone the same way to feel his and hers pain. I love anakin
The only moment when anakin wasn’t a slave was when he killed the emperor and saw his sons face, that’s why he said “you already have, Luke.” After Luke said he needed to save him 😁
I saw an edit where Rex was pointing his blasters towards Vader and he says “We loved you, General. We *all* loved you”
"What does your heart tell you?"
"I failed to save you.. I promise that'll never happen again.."
from all your crying i wish i could give you a hug for comfort as a good friend of me possibly.
LouiseJulie it makes me cry every time mainly because of the music and the clips they used to edit throughout the video. I love Anakin but Vader is my favorite character after Luke Skywalker.
Please please react to the Star Wars Red Five trailer! Is a Mashup with the Top Gun Maverick trailer and the Original Trilogy Luke is amazing!
There is also the side-by-side comparison that I recommend you see later, and the Top Gun intro with the Battle of Yavin...
Thats the crazy thing about those episodes in TCW Anakin falls to the darkside so easily as soon as someone shows him his future, and its not like he came back on his own either... THEY WIPED HIS MEMORY, so he had no knowledge of his future he doesnt remember anything he was shown by the son
You need to watch anakin skywalker broken promise
In the end he learned how to save the ones he loved from dying.
Darth Vader remembers Anakin Skywalker is also a really great one!
Same for me, I saw that video too (Ahsoka and anakin) and it just broke my heart
Anakin never blamed Obi Wan for what happened. Anakin knew he did it himself, he blamed Obi Wan for leaving him.
"I'm not your failure Obi-Wan...
You didn't kill Anakin...Skywalker...
...
I did..."
Oh my God! I'm all in tears. This is a very moving video ... Anakin Skywalker is the best, despite the fact that he became a Sith, in my heart he will remain a Jedi FOREVER!
Glad you randomly shows up in my home feed. Cuz that was really well done. Everything I already know, so to see what Disney has done is just beyond words. I'll never watch those 3 movies again for the rest of my life.
He brought balance to the force, then he destroyed it.
He was a hero for me then he became a monster.
He is one of the greatest character I ever knew.
Legend of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
It is almost a ayer of you publish this video, I am glad that people of your age enjoy the tales of Star Wars, and that you get so moved of it, there is still hope, for mi it was for many years, hope you still getting to enjoy and learn about these great history, mi best regards for you.
You need to react to " i am only vader"
Damn.... this was amazing. Very well edited.
I love Star Wars! This was amazing! Anakin and Luke are my favorite characters.
“Tell your sister, you were right”.
-Anakin to Luke Skywalker
Found this on my recommended list. Loved it. Also, this shows that star wars is not only for males. You gained a subscriber :)
Star Wars is for everyone, like it's always been; and that's one of the many amazing things about it
"Then you will die" i felt that hit my feels like a semi. His own padawan. HIS OWN FUCKING PADAWAN.
you have to watch kenobi by HFP next
alot of people over look the scene in return of the jedi where
Vader clashed his saber with Luke everyone thinks he was saving the emperor but what Lucas revealed was that while he was conflicted he was actually stopping Luke from making the same mistake he did.
You cry beautifully. Annakins story is a tragic and sad one. And I can’t watch any of the Star Wars movies without seeing him that way now.
You should watch the *Darth Revan/trailer* by Dudufilms and *Old Wounds* by REX!
I cry everytime too. *May the force be with you!* @Louise
The channel Make It Dirty has some great Star Wars vids too. Anakin Forgets and Darth Vader Remembers
Well,broken promise always breaks my heart.
And in the end, he finally had the power to save the ones he loved.
Legit shed a tear.
Need to watch the old republic cinematic from bioware really good!!!
Scratch that last comment... Anakins first words as Vader may be the most heartbreaking thing I have heard.. He is almost resigned..he knows he is trapped...
I literally almost cried at the end. So sad 😢
Darty Vader by Crusader 588, it sent chills through my whole body
I loved this video, and her reactions were priceless! But man! Who was chopping onions while I was watching this!?! May The Force be With You!
I also love the idea that Vader saves Luke because he’s the closest thing he has to Padme
Oh man, imagine if he put some Fallen Order clips in there but this was made way before hand unfortunately, BUT there's room for edit O_o
The remastered version just came out today! Hope you check it out!
the music is called Tessa, from Transformers: Age of Extinction
Came here after your reaction to Kenobi, no I had to cry for the second time, kudos
It's great that you're finally doing reactions! I once asked you during one one of your streams if you had ever seen the swtor cinematic trailers and you said you didn't. I hope you will react to them, they are awesome. Now some people find it confusing to where to start because they weren't released chronologically so I want to help you with that. They also for some reason changed the voice over dialogue of 2 of the trailers and those versions are kinda lame so if you're going to react to it I would love it if you reacted to the right versions. I'll link the videos so you don't accidentally get the wrong voice over dialogue versions
The order that you should watch is:
Return ua-cam.com/video/mm4JEZudf0c/v-deo.html
Hope ua-cam.com/video/1ToztqqDcaY/v-deo.html
Deceived ua-cam.com/video/YdgmH9Vv2-I/v-deo.html
Sacrifice ua-cam.com/video/Nzq9epS2b1A/v-deo.html
Betrayed ua-cam.com/video/LbpDxrew4A0/v-deo.html
The first 3 have amazing action and the last 2 are more emotional.
The story of Anakin Skywalker/Vader is one of the saddest and most tragic stories in cinema.
Check out Anakin Skywalker: Hero with no Fear and Skywalker: A Darth Vader tribute. Get massive inside into Anakin's mindset when he becomes Vader.
HFP's tributes are so emotionally breathtaking, you've taken your first step into a much larger world. Please do Kenobi when you find an opportunity, also "Greatest Teacher Failure Is" and "Path of Skywalker".
It would be perfect with the original Star Wars music in the background, like the one they put in the final trailer for Episode IX
7:52 I truly believe that’s exactly what he was thinking about.
This made me cry in the end dam
When they showed Ashoka walking away from the jedi temple I broke down
You would love the HFP Last Skywalker video emotional as hell
I dont know if you will see this but one of my favourite fan edits is the tragedy of the clones by SWFT as it is just the perfect tribute to the clones. I would highly recommend watching it.
