Damn I feel like the only person that ever made him feel free was Padmé. She was the first person to comfort him after his mother and in attack of the clones the only time he showed happiness or freedom was with her. That’s why he needed her so bad because she freed him and he’d be a slave forever without her.
Sarah Guinan Thank you! I find this yours fascinating idea that deserves a lot more thought and exploration. I’m inclined to agree. Perhaps his relationship with Padmé is the only one uncluttered by his mixed feelings toward the Jedi-who took him away from his mother and among whom he’s never completely belonged. In other words, theirs is the only relationship he’s freely chosen. Ironically, even in a marriage constrained by secrecy and their equally demanding duties, he probably had more room to be himself. I wish we had more material that really explored how well suited for each other they actually were, even when you put aside the power of bonding during the traumatic events of “Phantom Menace.”
Sarah Guinan Padme and Anakin new each other when they were still young. She new his past understood what he was going through. It’s no wonder they fell in big love when reunited maybe 7 years later. He matured into a handsome hunk and she further blossomed into woman hood! What a reunion!! That’s why a first they were uncomfortable and uncomfortable dialogue! They couldn’t help but be totally attracted to one another mentally and physically!!!
Mere C I. I love your analysis!!! Yes all true! I believe what we got from the films were never enough to truly understand the fullness of their attraction and relationship! The movie intended for general audience had to tone down the sexual and physical attraction, making it more mild. In the bedroom scene they were turned away from each other and she seemed fully clothed and he was bare chested! In today’s films , they would be embraced and bodies more revealing! There would be more scenes of caressing and passion and even hum touching and caressing her growing tummy! All this would have raised their on screen chemistry up 100 percent but I believe they were directed to keep it light! Cuz of the general audience rating! But if they were allowed more intimacy on screen the critics would not of said he seemed wooden! Allowing him to show and express his sexuality more! But I love Padme and Anakin so i can only imagine how passionate and hands on their relationship was! She didn’t have many men close to her either so they had each other
Sarah Guinan wow 10 plus years later and we are still thinking and imagining about Anakin and Padme! That’s says something! It left us wanting more of them. This story , themes, and first class outstanding music still lives on in my heart! That’s why many fans were so unsatisfied with 8 and 9. It did connect to the over arching story of Anakin, Padme , Luke and Leia The Skywalker FAmily! I needed more reconnection to them the Family! That’s why Rey will take the name Skywalker and continue their legacy with new characters!
"Even with a crippled and burnt body, he still had no equals." Ugh I got chills because it's so true. Anakin/Vader is easily one of the greatest movie characters of all time.
I wouldn’t swear to G-d, but I do agree- and that is a deeper realization than I expected to encounter on a RUclips channel comment section. Deep. Thanks.
@@GeneralGrievous-kp6od You definitely have this fetish for collecting lightsabers, though... And then ol Kenobi lopped off three of them in a row like a Boss!! 😎
Oh for sure, and did you hear him say "luke's last name" as if there wasn't an original skywalker that came before him, as if anakin wasn't the one that brought true meaning to the name, as if it anakin wasn't the one that created a powerful legacy for the name. Like it's not "luke's last name" it's anakin's bro. I kinda hate how people consider luke to be more important in this franchise than anakin. There is no Star Wars without Anakin Skywalker :)
There is NO STAR WARS without Anakin bc we wouldnt have Luke who was a good character but Anakin is still better we wouldent have anyone who gives a **** about their family on the council (And we would not be able to call out the council when they lie to him)( Except for Obi - wan) Anakin basically started the Entire Saga. Anakin is Awesome.
But that was the point. Remember how Alaya Secura dressed with so much of her blue skin showing off even though she was a master? No one complained! Anakin don't like sand. What color is sand? BROWN. What were the robes the Jedi usually wear? BROWN! Black looks badass!
@JulzBrad 1996 how is this not popular i LOVE Clone Wars Anakin he is much more likeable and not nearly as shitty as Hayden's portrayal (yes i know about Lucas interfering but whatever)
@JulzBrad 1996 it's a complicated issue for sure but at the end of the day, Lanter brought us a likeable and complex Anakin compared to what Hayden had to work with. And i will always love the Clone Wars depiction of General Skywalker more than any other.
Anakin/Vader was a slave his entire life, his masters included the Hutts, Watto, Palpatine, arguably the jedi. His first and only act as a free man was saving his son, Luke and looking at him with his own eyes.
MrYoungandBrave1 yes a perfect ending played by fabulous actors! I still remember and feel it like it was yesterday! That’s a great story! Love , loss, defeat , redemption!
“His life would eventually take as Darth Vader”. You telling me Anakin skywalker the supposed chosen one is the evil Darth Vader!? Pfft yeah sure next you’ll tell me that Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.
I just rewatched all the 6 movies and obsessed with Anakin and how changed, it would put my mind at ease if someone told me he met Padme as a ghost when he died. Did he or did he not?
I’m not sure about him seeing Padme but him and Obi Wan see each other and Obi wan pretty much saves Anakin by teaching him how to be a force ghost before his soul has passed and they pretty much become friends again but as far as padme goes I couldn’t find anything

Honestly one of my favorite things is hearing SW Theory talk about Anakin. You can tell how passionate of a fan he is of the character and I respect that, Anakin gets so much sh*t from fans a lot of the time that it's nice to hear someone who genuinely loves the character
MattMovies611 Anakin was always my favourite character and I identify with him more than Luke, it does seem like we’re in the minority of the fan base since most people lean towards Obi-Wan Kenobi which is perfectly understandable. But it’s nice to see the shift and see people grow more fond of Anakin’s character as they get older. Prequels and Clone Wars as well as Comics did a lot of justice to the overall character. Made Darth Vader real.
Killmonger 26 Hayden was perfect as Anakin I can’t imagine anyone else playing him and also I find myself in the same exact situation being 20 as well and growing up on the prequels era, I feel like as years went and go by I see deeper and hidden details and intentions when it comes those films hence my enjoyment grows more whilst watching them, finally understanding things that I may not have understood back then, especially Anakin’s fall and the reasons behind it does make you feel pity for him. I always loved the idea of tragic hero characters so he is without the doubt my favourite fictional character ever written.
@@simondesmet473 Because vader held back. Vader had 30+ years of formal training and wartime combat experience lol, it's been known for a while now that vader was holding back, and conflicted.
1. He was a padawan 2. He was already going to the dark side 3. His master was the least gifted Jedi in terms of force powers, and evidently he didn't know it either 4. Maybe it was reserved for Top Jedi masters only; restricted area of archives 5. Maybe Jedi were actually against using it, because you could arguably be altering the will of the force 6. Couldve been a power lost to history, and only Rey and Luke learned from it in the ancient Jedi texts from TLJ/ROS. (The child doesn't count, he has every power by default)
@@YouCantKeepMeDown Obi wan was a top jedi master. Anakin was a padawan with years of training. Unlike a certain somebody. If the jedi were against using it, why did they have dedicated healers? Why did they try to save others? And also, what has anakin going to the dark side got to do with anything? Why would it be lost to history? The jedi archives were enormous, and over the thousands of years, youd think a single jedi would have thought "hey could we use the force to heal people? Let's try it, and if we cant, let's look at the lore" Idiot.
Maybe he was already so lost to the Dark Side that he wasn't totally willing to sacrifice himself to save her? Maybe it requires releasing all your anger and hate and he couldn't do it.
Anyone defending the massive plot holes and shit writing of JJ is fuckin trash. The newest trilogy sucked in every way possible. Not only did they attempt to make Rey a stronger Jedi than Anakin with her bullshit powers, they also chose to bring Palpatine back making both earlier trilogies a giant waste of time. The movies were bad, and those defending it should feel bad.
I’m not a believer but the only time I’ve seen people truly heal and seem to be happy after horrible things is when they find religion look at louigh zamparini he was a prisoner of war went through horrible things and would have diet and drank himself to death had he not turned to Hod after going to a billy gram sermon
"What would have happened if Anakin left the Order before the Clone Wars? That's a fan fiction for another time." I better see that fan fiction some other time...
My all time favorite Star Wars character. I see so much of my old self in him and he was very influential in molding me into a better man by looking at his mistakes
Yoda isn’t wrong. The force does surround us and binds us with everything, but the midi-chlorians are what let us access the force. With a low count of midi-chlorians, you can’t access the force. The more you have, the more force sensitive you are.
@@mjkalasky2775 that's what really pisses my off about most prequel haters, they just get swept up in the hate and complains that they don't even pay attention to the films, if they did, a lot of their problems would be solved but God forbid their initial opinion born out blind hate and ignorance be wrong am I right?
I just watched episode 3 again, yesterday and it’s still my favourite starwars movie, being 20, I have greater appreciation for it now than when I saw it for the first time when I was 11!
Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader , my favorite character in star wars. Thanks for making this. Hope we can get a part 2 to this. So disappointed he didnt appear in TROS.
I always thought Anakin's ability to see into the future through his dreams wasn't actually an ability. I thought it was Palpatine projecting these destructive thoughts in Anakin's mind in order to further sway him to the dark side.
Tis a real shame Anakin didn’t have a bigger role at the end of the skywalker saga seeing how he’s the literal chosen one and the start of the skywalker bloodline
Which confuses me as to why Padme would marry him. He tells her "so like i killed women and children but you should marry me anyways " and she was just like "sounds great!".
I think what people forget is that he was still the chosen one, even once he turned to the dark side. Most “chosen ones” have a line in their prophecy about how they will save OR destroy. Just because Anakin chose the wrong path doesn’t mean he stopped being the chosen one, it just means he’s like all those fan-fictions about what if so-and-so was evil. Even as Darth Vader he was still technically the chosen one, even though I like to think of Vader and Anakin as too different people.
Eric R. Or more accurately his body did not, his voice however did, but he only had like 4 lines which is slightly disappointing, I was expecting him to come up as a force ghost to BEN not Rey , I love her, but I think he should have went to Ben
2:45 He didn’t lose his original lightsaber in the factory on Geonosis, because he clearly states “not again, obi-wan’s gonna kill me”, which indicates that he has broken a lightsaber prior to the one he broke in the factory.
He dropped it when chasing the changeling on Coruscant. When he says "Not again Obi-Wan's gonna kill me." he means because he lost it once already and had the "This weapon is your life." lecture.
I wish Anakin didn't get defeated by Obi, while Vader is awesome I would've loved to see him as dark side Anakin but keep all his limbs and not getting burnt resulting in him being the most powerful being ever overthrowing palpatine and ruling the galaxy as his own master!
on the thing about anakin’s name, i read somewhere that it also derived from the greek mythology “Ananke” which was the deity of fate, inevitably, and compulsion
I personally really like the prequels because of the story with Anakin and his relationships with obi wan, padme, jedi council, etc. but I honestly can never watch them because I find the story so gut wrenching and devastating. Every time I see the movies I know exactly what is going to happen and I just wish things turn out differently.
The thing about him being an slave during his own life makes me just sad... The only free moment was when he killed Palpatine and freed itself from the world
Curious2Dream now that you mention it, there are some similarities between Anakin and Harry. Both were destined to defeat the greatest threats in their respective universes. Both can be occasionally reckless and hot headed, but they desire to do what’s necessary to ensure the safety of those they care about
Midicholrians aren’t the Force, and they don’t ruin or change what the Force is. They are just a measure of a Force user’s potential. That’s how I see it, anyway. I’ve never had a problem with it. Great video man.
I love the concept of the midi-chlorians. They add so much more to the mystery of the Force. I wished they where used more besides in the PT and CW. The midi-chlorians where also there since The Star Wars first Inception back in 1973. But he left them out of Star Wars namely for time and to simplify the aspects of the force
Eh, in my opinion only Revenge of the Sith is extremely good. The other ones are just idk, they're not the best, but it's my opinion. 1. Original Trilogy 2.Prequel Trilogy 3. Spin Offs 4. Sequel Trilogy
Dear StarWarsTheory. I'm not talking about this video in particular, but when u talk about Anakin's reasons for turning to the dark side, can u mention all of the stuff the Jedi did to him in the Clone Wars? Because it's very important.
Zayan Matin They constantly doubt him even tho he proves them wrong. But the worst thing they did was treating Ahsoka badly. They kicked him out once an ounce of doubt was placed on her. And didn’t even take responsibility when Anakin proved them wrong. And then they stupidly don’t give him the rank of master even tho he proved he’s a better jedi than them all.
No, George Lucas added it to make him look older and less innocent in episode 3, and then they dropped comics and spin off series that eventually made it asaj’s doing

Alex Felix bruh you guys realise that is because the makers of the movie had worse choreography’s. Luke beat vader tho🤷♂️
@@simondesmet473 Because vader held back. Vader had 30+ years of formal training and wartime combat experience lol, it's been known for a while now that vader was holding back, and conflicted.

He doesnt like sand because sand killed his father
No I am his father
😅 LOL
no, kaan. Sand IS his father!
Do you know the story of his father😯?
🇹🇷
*#1: Didn't know about Force Heal for some reason and thus couldn't save the one he loved.*
1. He was a padawan
2. He was already going to the dark side
3. His master was the least gifted Jedi in terms of force powers, and evidently he didn't know it either
4. Maybe it was reserved for Top Jedi masters only; restricted area of archives
5. Maybe Jedi were actually against using it, because you could arguably be altering the will of the force
6. Couldve been a power lost to history, and only Rey and Luke learned from it in the ancient Jedi texts from TLJ/ROS. (The child doesn't count, he has every power by default)
@@YouCantKeepMeDown Obi wan was a top jedi master.
Anakin was a padawan with years of training. Unlike a certain somebody.
If the jedi were against using it, why did they have dedicated healers? Why did they try to save others? And also, what has anakin going to the dark side got to do with anything?
Why would it be lost to history? The jedi archives were enormous, and over the thousands of years, youd think a single jedi would have thought "hey could we use the force to heal people? Let's try it, and if we cant, let's look at the lore"
Idiot.
Maybe he was already so lost to the Dark Side that he wasn't totally willing to sacrifice himself to save her? Maybe it requires releasing all your anger and hate and he couldn't do it.
Anyone defending the massive plot holes and shit writing of JJ is fuckin trash. The newest trilogy sucked in every way possible. Not only did they attempt to make Rey a stronger Jedi than Anakin with her bullshit powers, they also chose to bring Palpatine back making both earlier trilogies a giant waste of time.
The movies were bad, and those defending it should feel bad.
So true. Even Obi Wan didn’t know the Force heal. And because of Obi Wan didn’t know the Force Heal, so he didn’t teach Anakin.
I feel like anakin was the most realistic character: you don’t have all of this bad stuff happen to you and just be like “whelp that happened”
I’m not a believer but the only time I’ve seen people truly heal and seem to be happy after horrible things is when they find religion look at louigh zamparini he was a prisoner of war went through horrible things and would have diet and drank himself to death had he not turned to Hod after going to a billy gram sermon
"What would have happened if Anakin left the Order before the Clone Wars? That's a fan fiction for another time."
I better see that fan fiction some other time...
I second this
"Good question...For another time.."
*Narrator: There was no another time.*
My all time favorite Star Wars character. I see so much of my old self in him and he was very influential in molding me into a better man by looking at his mistakes
Yoda isn’t wrong. The force does surround us and binds us with everything, but the midi-chlorians are what let us access the force. With a low count of midi-chlorians, you can’t access the force. The more you have, the more force sensitive you are.
This is correct
69 yeee
Some people: "Midichlorians ARE the Force."
At no point was that ever stated or even really implied.
@@mjkalasky2775 that's what really pisses my off about most prequel haters, they just get swept up in the hate and complains that they don't even pay attention to the films, if they did, a lot of their problems would be solved but God forbid their initial opinion born out blind hate and ignorance be wrong am I right?
No.1- He brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to his new empire.

Don't make him kill you...
he can try..
#1 He doesn’t like sand: It’s coarse, it’s irritating, and it gets everywhere.
Not like here...
Here everything is soft.. And smooth
He should have had his own movie showing how strong he was. Including Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka!
His midiclorians count was more than 20,000 *per cell
That's over 9000!

I just watched episode 3 again, yesterday and it’s still my favourite starwars movie, being 20, I have greater appreciation for it now than when I saw it for the first time when I was 11!
Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader , my favorite character in star wars. Thanks for making this. Hope we can get a part 2 to this. So disappointed he didnt appear in TROS.
Honestly wish there was a separate movie dedicated just to Anakin and Padme and just their love
Omg me too, I would be so happy
Episode 2 was kind of dedicated to that tho
Attack of the clones buddy
They did and it was attack of the clones
They’re love was awful and ruined the movie

Red Pill Theories Grand. Admiral.
Thrawn.
I always liked grevious, but Anakin is my favorite good guy
Red Pill Theories Just remembered the days of Force Unleashed 1 and 2...Good games.
I think that if we would have seen Anakin in full potential it would have dwarfed Palpatine's power in The Rise of Skywalker
I always wanted Anakin’s look from Episode 3. I really wanted that “Jedi mullet” as Ewan called it and for some reason, I wanted that scar.
Anakin is my favorite jedi i loved Hayden’s performance and his character in clone wars
#TheChosenOne
I always thought Anakin's ability to see into the future through his dreams wasn't actually an ability. I thought it was Palpatine projecting these destructive thoughts in Anakin's mind in order to further sway him to the dark side.
You are correct. Palpatine also killed Padme. He was the one who killed her will. Anakin never had a fair chance in life
It wasn't i think also im pretty sure palps killed her will to live from her mind which is why the droids couldn't find anything wrong with padme
ME TOO!
You missed one about me, I love playing with deathsticks

@@YouCantKeepMeDown General Kenobi. You are a bold one.
@Zany Zebra Funny. I trained the man who killed him.
I am very confused right now?
Tis a real shame Anakin didn’t have a bigger role at the end of the skywalker saga seeing how he’s the literal chosen one and the start of the skywalker bloodline
#1: His character arc and sacrifice were rendered completely pointless in The Rise of Skywalker
So true
let's just pretend it never happened....
god Ihate Disney
Don’t bring up Disney’s fan fiction
We don’t talk about that one. It doesn’t count
Woah its only 6 movies we don't talk about the fan fictions
Number one: Hates sand gets everywhere
Number Two: Doesn’t like younglings 😕
He only killed the youglings because they called him "master" when he actually was denied to become a Jedi master
Which confuses me as to why Padme would marry him. He tells her "so like i killed women and children but you should marry me anyways " and she was just like "sounds great!".
Anakin is the best character to ever be created
Agreed
I am truly offended
Anakin is my favorite star wars characters
@@GeneralGrievous-kp6od don’t be, I love general grievous too.
I think what people forget is that he was still the chosen one, even once he turned to the dark side. Most “chosen ones” have a line in their prophecy about how they will save OR destroy. Just because Anakin chose the wrong path doesn’t mean he stopped being the chosen one, it just means he’s like all those fan-fictions about what if so-and-so was evil. Even as Darth Vader he was still technically the chosen one, even though I like to think of Vader and Anakin as too different people.
Top 10 ten worst facts about Anakin Skywalker:
#1: He did not show up in the Rise of Skywalker
Eric R. Or more accurately his body did not, his voice however did, but he only had like 4 lines which is slightly disappointing, I was expecting him to come up as a force ghost to BEN not Rey , I love her, but I think he should have went to Ben
way to spoil it douchebag
@@gabeshook5540 🤣🤣🤣 if you havent seen it so far its your problem
6:13 Dooku in glasses is so blessed
2:45 He didn’t lose his original lightsaber in the factory on Geonosis, because he clearly states “not again, obi-wan’s gonna kill me”, which indicates that he has broken a lightsaber prior to the one he broke in the factory.
He dropped it when chasing the changeling on Coruscant. When he says "Not again Obi-Wan's gonna kill me." he means because he lost it once already and had the "This weapon is your life." lecture.
He lost his lightsaber though
If Mace Windu was Chris Hansen:
"I'm Chris Hansen; take a seat, young Skywalker."
Is Mace speaking to Padme Skywalker, post marriage?
Hey now, he KILLS younglings, not touches them.
I wish Anakin didn't get defeated by Obi, while Vader is awesome I would've loved to see him as dark side Anakin but keep all his limbs and not getting burnt resulting in him being the most powerful being ever overthrowing palpatine and ruling the galaxy as his own master!
Truee
He was the best pilot,
He was the best jedi,
He was the strongest in the force,
He was the chosen one.
on the thing about anakin’s name, i read somewhere that it also derived from the greek mythology “Ananke” which was the deity of fate, inevitably, and compulsion
I personally really like the prequels because of the story with Anakin and his relationships with obi wan, padme, jedi council, etc. but I honestly can never watch them because I find the story so gut wrenching and devastating. Every time I see the movies I know exactly what is going to happen and I just wish things turn out differently.
Pumped about Hayden returning to Star Wars!!
The thing about him being an slave during his own life makes me just sad... The only free moment was when he killed Palpatine and freed itself from the world
I would actually love to see a future fanfiction video about what if Anakin had left the Jedi as a teenager
I loveeee Anakin. He's the most handsome man ever ngl😍😩
He has that scar like Harry Potter, also called the chosen one.
Curious2Dream now that you mention it, there are some similarities between Anakin and Harry. Both were destined to defeat the greatest threats in their respective universes. Both can be occasionally reckless and hot headed, but they desire to do what’s necessary to ensure the safety of those they care about
@@darylsdesigns6679 but does Harry dislike sand?
Ketamine Yoda I think that’s for Harry himself to answer
Midicholrians aren’t the Force, and they don’t ruin or change what the Force is. They are just a measure of a Force user’s potential. That’s how I see it, anyway. I’ve never had a problem with it.
Great video man.
I Love anakin. He's my favourite characters. He's the best
I love the concept of the midi-chlorians. They add so much more to the mystery of the Force. I wished they where used more besides in the PT and CW. The midi-chlorians where also there since The Star Wars first Inception back in 1973. But he left them out of Star Wars namely for time and to simplify the aspects of the force
The prequels were the best. Change my mind.
Logic Skies I agree
Eh, in my opinion only Revenge of the Sith is extremely good. The other ones are just idk, they're not the best, but it's my opinion.
1. Original Trilogy
2.Prequel Trilogy
3. Spin Offs
4. Sequel Trilogy
Luke Skywalker thank you for agreeing with me
They were the second best originals were the best

Dear StarWarsTheory. I'm not talking about this video in particular, but when u talk about Anakin's reasons for turning to the dark side, can u mention all of the stuff the Jedi did to him in the Clone Wars? Because it's very important.
AlexDeGhost what did the Jedi do to him? (I haven’t watched clone wars past season 2)
Zayan Matin They constantly doubt him even tho he proves them wrong. But the worst thing they did was treating Ahsoka badly. They kicked him out once an ounce of doubt was placed on her. And didn’t even take responsibility when Anakin proved them wrong. And then they stupidly don’t give him the rank of master even tho he proved he’s a better jedi than them all.

Didn’t Anakin get his scar against Assage Ventress in the Legends Clone Wars series before as well?

No, George Lucas added it to make him look older and less innocent in episode 3, and then they dropped comics and spin off series that eventually made it asaj’s doing

In the Canon comic chapter of fact 4:
Palpatine: Jedi can do things like moving stuffs on the air, right?

Great video! Anakin is my favorite character too. Wish he had a larger role in 9. I would love to see more videos of yours on him.
The fact that he didn’t have a big role in TROS still hurts 💔
No one can kill a Jedi says the one who kills almost all of them😂😂😂
Goddammit i wanted to say that!
Anakin is probably one of the best fictional characters of all time. Well-writen, conflicted, tragic. My favorite Star Wars character ❤
Vader: “You have failed me inquisitor.”
Trilla: “Avenge Us”
The game needs at least 2 more installments. Cal Kestis is a really good character.
