Hey llia TS the part 4:41 reminded me so much of freiza finding and manipulating super broly mixed with Z broly hes The legendary super sayin they know his power will be to strong to control
Just for Disney to make him go into isolation, fuck over everything he ever believed in, throw HIS lightsaber away, and RUINED Kylo Ren, the only ACTUAL SkyWalker 🤦🏻♂️
Luke was the only True Jedi since Qui Gon Jin. The rest of them was just políticians, consumed by the dark Side, not by anger, but arrogance and ego....a wonderful history.
@@Lots17the prequels rocked, best saber fights cool worlds interesting intrigue. The sequels however started by copying the earlier films then just kind of doing a mess of stuff and throwing some feminist agenda in there and then mentioning stuff from the original to try to makeup for the lack of a coherent story.
Someone needs to send this to Hayden Christensen. All the grief he got for his acting skills proved wrong in one 18 minute fan made video. Watched this way it truly shows how incredible Anakin’s journey was from beginning to end, and beyond.
It wasn't just because Palpatine decieved him. Qui-Gon dying sealed his fate because he was the only Jedi able to help Anakin understand and accept loss because he wasnt a council Jedi. Anakin needed a father figure. Instead he got Palpatine. Qui-Gon didnt care for politics and did what was right. The council Jedi were arrogant and way too politically motivated. Anakin numerous times tried to talk to the council and they said accept it. Let go. Obi-Wan was more council the Qui-Gon and too young to train an all powerful and troubled Padawan. Visions be damned. It was a perfect storm. Anakin was to blame, Obi-Wan was to blame, Palpatine was to blame, and, the Jedi Council was to blame. My favorite character in cinema or literature. Because I could see myself going down that same dark road, with the force super powers you think you control, but, in reality controls the user. I know I would have fallen no matter how much I loved and cared. That's why Anakin/Vader is my favorite. P.s. I would have taken off Mace Windu's head not his hand. He to me represents the worst of the council. But that's just my opinion.
@@floriansvibovec7208 I feel they've purposely tried to lead the actors' (Obi Wan & Vader) voices to get closer and closer towards the Star Wars original voices. So it's an evolution up until that point. I'm noticing both voices are getting closer to that. I mean. It sucks, but with AI and voice mod characteristics, I'm sure they can get a VADER series up until the 'later years' to have Vader sound very close to J.E.J.
My daughter is just old enough to start being interested in the Star Wars stories. She always asks me why Darth Vader is my favorite character. When she's a little older, I'll show her this, and she'll know.
The best villain of all time! 🙂❤️❤️❤️ Reletable but evil, the pure hero and cruel bad guy. Vader/Anakin feels like harsh life but in the end you gets revarded and Luke is like yours dreams when you think that everything in life will be always easy/undisturbed by life. 🙂
He did such a good job showing how and why he transformed. And the writing of it to make us empathize and understand he could not heed yodas training. He could not let go of his pain in knowing the future, he was trapped by it. I don't understand why so many people don't like anything but the original movies. I grew up with iv, v, and vi, now there is so much more depth to character.
From psychological point of view Anakin had a problem of negative core belief that would tell him that he 'was not good enough' to save those he loved so much. This led him to emotional dysregulation. He could not control his feelings and they started to control his mind, behaviour and his actions. This character is a fascinating case from psychological point of view and it is a huge credit to genius mind of George Lucas.
His recent performances have shone a new light on his skills, it truly shows that the script failed him on the prequels not the other way arround, the cooler deeper voiced anakin version from the clone wars perfected the essence of the character and its now showing in live action
@@altzard6170Prequels Anakin is exactly as Anakin should be lol. People just don’t like awkward protagonists. TCW Anakin isn’t Anakin, he’s just Han Solo lite in an Anakin body
@@altzard6170 I do have to say though, I believe even if the scripts were awkward for him, I believe they intended for Anakin to feel awkward, uncertain of his path in life, uncertain on how to act and talk to some people and I do think it portrayed it well, but obviously some parts definitely are a bit weird.
@@RichardHunslet1963people like you never cease to amaze me. Your so closed minded that you can't accept people have different opinions and preferences. And so self centered that everytime you see someone with a different opinion ONLINE that you have to tell them there opinion is wrong. You must have a pathetic life to do that.
Goodbye legendary actor James Earl Jones 😢 the Star Wars community will forever love your roles and the experience you gave us in theaters as Darth Vader
@gonzalosanchez1425 because since she was a GOOD politician, she actually was seeing the political corruption that was happening right in front of everyone's faces and they were CHEERING for it. The government of America literally came to be right in front of everyone, and she couldn't do anything about it......
Typically never comment on RUclips. This was a truly epic masterpiece, can't remember the last time I was entertained for 18 minutes straight in this type of high pace material. You have an ability that Hollywood lost long time ago. Amazing stuff!
Completely agree with Christian. When the Luke scenes kicked in towards the end, made me tear up. Jeez bro, respect and thankful for the power of your edit.
This cut was truly the best Star Wars summary I could have imagined possible! I genuinely teared up at the end. You've made me remember the good that is behind Star Wars thru the politics and wokeness that Disney has been trying to tack on over the years. Star Wars has always been the Skywalker story and those around him. To deny that is criminal and undeserving of opinion or criticism. I can't express enough the joy this mere 18 min video has brought be and to the editor I just want to say thank you so much for touching on the best memories of life growing up with these legendary stories!
Seems like "Star Wars" 1977 was woke from the get-go. Han Solo's the conservative, (guns/money/sleaze/short sighted selfish) that turns a new leaf, Kenobi the idealist spiritual new age progressive mentality, Leia the strong woman who takes the mans's gun and literally and takes charge and denies to bow to any authority of all the men all around her. @@drastiin2630
Can you imagine destroying such a good sci-fi story after investing millions upon millions of dollars into it? As far as I’m concerned, Disney episodes don’t count. At all. And if you like them, then something is wrong with YOU. Not a true fan.
@@Rggggg456 you're right there. Say what you will about the Sequels and some of the shows, but not everything Disney made was bad, as proven by Rogue One, Andor, the first 2 Seasons of The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch, etc.
I also felt that line as so profound. Everything Anakin went through. All of it. Obi Wan witnessed along the way and ultimately couldn’t stop Anakin from finally becoming the monster of Darth Vader.
@@coreyworthingtonii9230yes, plus the fact Anakin shed a tear after the apology made me break up. He truly came full circle, and fulfilled the prophecy.
The redemption of Vader only comes as a direct result of Luke's refusal to give up on his father. Kenobi, even Yoda were unable to do that. I love the lightsaber battles, but as an adult I now realize that the wielding of the blades and being a jedi was more than just power or skill. Those colors of green and red really represented the greater battle of evil vs. good, and it's fitting that the victory doesn't come as a result of the blade or the power of Luke. The light side wins because of Luke's refusal to condemn and call to his father to be redeemed. It is never too late to start doing what's right, to turn and be healed. This theme is what makes the story so great and timeless.
Let’s not pretend like Vader didn’t also play a hand in his own redemption, he sacrificed himself to save his own son. Luke very much reminded Vader of who he was/who he really is. Just like Vader destroyed Anakin, it was Anakin who destroyed Vader and Sidious in one swift blow, Luke was no where near powerful enough… Vader was. Luke was the catalyst but the good was always still there inside Vader, he just needed someone that he didn’t feel betrayed by to believe in him. Both Luke AND Anakin saved the galaxy.
@@EternaITruths No bro, the sheer fact that in episode 6, Luke just being able to hold his own against 2 sith lords of their caliber is remarkable. By episode 6, Luke had surpassed Vader, regardless if that was his father, he was so strong with the force that he was able to turn the 2 sith lords against each other.
ya killing younglings not too bad when your in love. he brought balanced in both ways. he balanced the Jedi order when they were in charge. then he ended the empire actual balance.
The Greatest Villain of all time, in and out of Star wars Universe. The Greatest Hero of the Republic, Hero of the Clone Wars and Most Tragic story of any Cinematic franchise.
he killed younglings and almost choked his wife to death tf are you talking about he's not a bad guy???? Lets not even talk about the stuff he did as VADER.
Yes i did. I Love this story more then any other and whenever i feel week, i think about the ways of the force. It makes me stronger! I Wish i would be sensitive to the force
Anakin was my favorite when I was a kid. I turned 12 just in time for Revenge of the Sith. Watching him turn into Darth Vader was crazy. That was one of the greatest movie experiences I ever experienced.
I was born in 1983 so I already knew what happens but when I watched it for the very first time, I was just as shocked when I found out that Vader is the father of Luke as you were when you found out that Anakin is Vader.
I was the same age when I saw it. I even knew it was all coming to an end and I still cried in the theatre. To this day the prequels are a hard journey to watch imo
Man, this was amazing - the sync of the clips, the sound, the storytelling. I especially loved how you dove into how Vader affected other characters even though the video wasn't specifically about them, it really enhanced the emotion & the tragedy. Great work.👏🏼👏🏼
"If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny" is exact phrase which always motivates me when I encounter an obstacle or I feel distressful in my life..
@@Ky-xm7tc And this is exactly why I think the dark side isn't evil itself; only the Sith who use it for evil are the issue, but the darkness can still be harnessed for other uses so long as you have the perseverance to not let megalomania consume you
Hayden Christian is Vader and he embodies the transition absolutely perfectly. The conflict, the torment, the horror and the dread. All were conveyed so well, and the chemistry with Padme was a very believable catalyst, I mean who wouldn’t want to give up everything for someone you love as much as that.
no the sith were still strong in numbers even after the empire fell. It was Rey who brough balance. Once the empire fell, Sidious was still working behind the scenes.
Not gonna lie, this was hard to watch without almost crying. Disney has failed everyone who put hard work, passion, dedication and God given talent to tell the story that took place in a galaxy far, far away.
After watching 3 episodes of The Acolyte, Disney have pulled out all the stops to erase this storyline and seemingly won’t be happy until they completely shatter the lore, story and characters. This 18 minute tribute, has reminded me why I love Star Wars. I won’t watch another second of the Acolyte, if you love Star Wars, don’t watch the acolyte either.
Chills. Bloody chills! The emotions you’ve managed to evoke far surpasses that of what Disney has managed in years. Thank you for reminding me what Star Wars was, is, and forever will be.
Well, the prequels were super hated before. Star Wars used to be hated, is hated and will forever be hated. Heck, ESB is seen as the best one by many, and even that was hated when it first arrived
@@Chemical_Argentum are you implying that the sequels (along with whatever miscellaneous media they’ve produced) are to be received well down the road?
@@IncognitoJohnDoe I agree! When I was a kid in the 90s, watching all the OT movies back to back, I liked ESB the least. I thought it was too dark and slow paced. Now it’s one of my favorite movies (and not just fav SW movie). Yes indeed, it was designed to age well
@@raindropsonthewindowsill5170 I am implying nothing more that what I wrote. Star Wars has ALWAYS been had a fanbase that have loved to hate it. That’s all I said
I have been a Star Wars fan for 18 years. I know this story backwards and forwards. And despite knowing everything that happens, this video brought me absolutely to tears. This is such a beautiful tribute to Anakin Skywalker. Well done!!!
There’s three edits of Anakin/Vader on here that make me sob I swear. 😭 This one is one of them lmfao. The first one is ‘The Chosen One’ by Heroes Fan Productions. It’s near 10 minutes long and a total masterpiece! I was a mess by the end of it. 💀
Luke believed in Anakin. He forgave him and loved him unconditionally, even when everyone else has given up on Vader being irredeemable. He was who Anakin needed, and that broke through to him. Great video.
Anyone notice how the lightsaber clashes were synced to the music? In addition to all the other praise, the attention to detail and the effort to make it perfect is inspiring.
Genuinely the best character and the best villain in fiction for me and the most heartbreaking. Because you don't feel like he should be killed, you don't feel like he's evil. He needs to be saved and that's what happens The way George wrote this story and the way Hayden plays him blows my mind. The OG's and the Prequels are for me the only SW movies, damn the rest.
If this edit was any better, the universe would tear itself apart. This is an insane piece of cinematic history, combining all the key moments of the Skywalker Saga, showcasing the faults of the Order, deception of the Sith, the emotional manipulation of Anakin as well as the grip Vader had on the Galaxy by pure fear alone. The transition where Krennic looks at Vader in sheer horror with the sound of Palpatine giving Vader his Sith name was jaw dropping. The part where a remixed version of duel of the fates plays when Vader faces Obi Wan, then cuts to silence shows the hatred, fear, sweat, tears and brotherhood shared between the two. The transition from the Hallway scene to the multiple other fights was just unbelievable
One of the most epic character arcs in cinematic history. Thank God it was the love of his son that brought him back…the most satisfying payoff in movie history.
@@jasonmcdaniel1704 agreed too luke love,compassion,care for his father anakin skywalker so emotionally beautiful that's how I am with my real life father 😊
14:10 is just pure goosebumps, I love when editors make it so that it seems like Anakin is remembering these things after all of it has already happened. Really shows how thoughtful and sensible he still was, even after he became Vader.
As a child in the late 70's and early 80s, I watched Episodes 4, 5 and 6. Like probably most people at the time, I naively thought the saga of Star Wars was the story of Luke Skywalker. As the years passed, and the rest of the story was revealed, I learned, as we all did, that this was the story of Anakin. Star Wars in it's many forms, is a pop culture phenomenon like no other in that it brings such joy and entertainment to it's fans. What you have created here, is a beautiful piece of art that so masterfully encapsulates the story of one of science fiction's most recognizable characters. As a lifelong Star Wars fan and fellow video editing enthusiast, I commend you on your hard work and outstanding creation. Thank you for putting this out into the world for others to enjoy, and May the Force be With You.
Well Said, I also Grew up in the Early 70's, My Dad took me to See STAR WARS for the 1st Time when I was 6, was HOOKED! George Lucas' Original Versions before DISNEY took Over are the GREATEST MOVIES Ever!
The Anakin/Vader story is as much about heartbreak as it is redemption. Anakins heart broke when he couldnt save his mom, then he couldnt save Padme. The Emperor saw the rage inside of him and twisted it into the most powerful Sith at that time. His redemption comes at the cost of his own life sadly. This edit perfectly sums all of that up. Thank you for this.
Very true, part of him died with Shmi, and obviously Padme. He also believed his unborn child died at his hand. Completely broke him, but Anakin was never fully vanquished. The bottom line is the Council got their hands on the messiah then handed him over to Satan. Truly tragic
You know, this fan piece that cost maybe an eighth of what all Disney puts in anything they create has more heart than anything they have made. Bravo for making me cry for starwars again.
There is no story that compels me the way Anakin's does. You've created a masterpiece of a tribute and made me feel emotions rarely caused by a video. Can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
This is a masterpiece. Although Anakin/Vader is a fictional character, your heart breaks for him after piecing together his life story. This made us see the person in a deeper light.
Can we shout out Hayden Christensen The Chosen One.... Just look on every emotion he portrays on every level... was on point! you can really feel it too And this video is a masterpiece!!! Excelent
Fr. The hate he received was never warranted. George's shit dialogue was to blame for the prequels,never Haydon. You felt every emotion with him. While a lot of the new Disney stuff is bollocks,Haydon getting his renaissance is probably the best thing to come out of it all.
This was insanely good. Anakin is one of my favorite characters. Even as I go through the ROTS book I find myself putting it off to complete even though its so good. Knowing that Anakin will turn is so sad. Amazing work!
I prefer Vader over Anakin, but. i haven’t read the ROTS book so I guess I would be a little less attached as you are, but Darth Vader is just an amazing, intimidating, STRONG character. He is just purely awesome and a force to be reckoned.
Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars and cinema history. Born without a father, poor, a slave with no hope for the future, taken from his mother, his mother taken from him, fell into forbidden love, feared loss again, fell to darkness, lost his title and gained a new one, destroyed the order he fought for his whole life, lost his wife, lost his friends, lost his children, lost his body and became trapped in a suit which made him suffer constantly and was the fuel for his hatred, comitted terrible acts, met his son and daughter years later and his heart was again moved and awoken, defeated his wicked master who fooled him and saved his son and was redeemed. Beautiful. No one can tell me there is a better star wars character. Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. Anakin's redemption story resonates because it tells us all something we desperately want to believe - that no matter what we've done, it's never too late to turn back. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. It's never too late to stand up, dust yourself off, and turn around. You are never too far gone to change. Vader tells Luke earlier, "It's too late for me, son", yet his last words were "You were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right..." It's only too late to change if you have convinced yourself of that very fact. Personally, as a Christian, I relate Anakin's redemption to the idea that none of us are too far gone to be beyond God's forgiveness. We're all flawed, but we aren't lost if we turn and accept God's pardon through Jesus.
@@billburns4465 your hate will indeed lead to suffering, and if you can't grasp HOW and WHY Palpatine returned...then you don't know anything about Star Wars!
Mannn, I don't even have words. The fact that you can make an 18 minute long video on a character you've already edited and somehow make it completely fresh and unique to the last one is mindblowing to me. The best storyteller in the community hands down, the music choices are top tier.. especially for the "Destiny" act of the video, the whole battle montage was incredibly well edited. Chill-worthy masterpiece as always brother🤍
Thank you so much pyro, means a lot myman. I can't even properly remember how much I worked on this, it's all a blur. But it took a LOT of damn effort and I'm glad it paid off. Happy you liked the destiny part, also my favourite 😃 Always appreciate your presence here man, thanks a lot.
@12:20 The first 30 seconds are so powerful, visceral and emotional. Obi-wan’s remembrance of what he did to Anakin that day on mustafar. The realization that he mutilated and burned his brother, then left him to die. Anakin’s final scream as he burned alive on the bank of hot ash and rock… Complete chills and the horror of what happened and the sadness of what could have been make everything so much worse
I'm not a big commenter, only do it when I feel necessary but this, this is necessary to give my feedback. I have never in 7 years been able to be as entertained as this without losing focus, or interest, or anything. It just about brought tears to my eyes. This is truly one of the best pieces of art I have seen out of something fan made for anything. Please by all means, no matter any hate you ever receive, or any thoughts you have on your work, Never Stop Creating. You have a gift, please use it.
Goodness this brought me to tears. His journeys as a generous, selfless boy but a slave to Watto to a slave to Darth Sidious, and then back to himself is so tragic, yet so beautiful, especially when distilled the way you did. Thank you! And may the Force be with you!
Anakin Skywalker crossed and mastered both the light and dark sides of the Force. Redeemed by his conviction, he was the Chosen One, the only one who balanced both sides of the scale.
Perhaps misread the Prophecy is. Bringing balance is not destroying one side or the other. But more likely one who could have the power to unite both Sith and Jedi. Perhaps one who could use the Force to create life. There is one who just might be that powerful. One who is both Jedi and a Palpatine. One who could be Empress of the Galaxy.
@@jstube36 Ah NO! George lucas himself said Prophecy was destroying the Sith and bringing balance and Anakin was the chosen one and he was still the chosen one even after becoming darth vader because he destroyed the empire, the sith and himself thus fulfilling the prophecy. Not my words...thats George lucas's own words
@@owensunuwar697 But the Darkside was not destroyed. The Sith may have been albeit temporarily. The message is that the Darkside will always be. And that one side cannot be without the other. That is the Eastern Philosophy that the Saga is based on. Bringing balance to the light and dark nature of us all. Using both when necessary.
This is easy one of the best, if not the best, tribute I've seen this year. Every time I'll go back to watch this video I'll think "This is where the fun begins". Truly amazing, I really mean it.
This video, without a doubt, represents the most remarkable depiction of Anakin Skywalker and his transformation into Darth Vader that I have ever come across. It captures the essence of Anakin's extraordinary journey, leading from a heroic figure to a formidable villain, and ultimately finding redemption to become good once again. I cannot stress enough how this portrayal resonates with me on a deep level, forging an even stronger bond with the Star Wars universe. While every aspect of the Star Wars saga is undeniably awe-inspiring and enjoyable, it is the legacy of Anakin Skywalker that stands above all else. His story, as portrayed in this video, is a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of his character. It takes us back to his early years, portraying him as a wide-eyed child, brimming with untapped potential and innocence. As the scenes seamlessly transition, we witness Anakin's growth as he embarks on the path of a Jedi apprentice, his destiny intertwined with the unfolding events of the Clone Wars. One aspect that truly captivates me is the inclusion of Anakin's own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Their bond is beautifully portrayed, showcasing the mentorship and camaraderie that develops between them. Through their shared experiences, we witness Anakin's guidance and the profound impact he has on shaping Ahsoka into the remarkable Jedi she becomes. The video masterfully weaves in scenes of their interactions, highlighting the depth of their connection. But the video doesn't stop there; it goes beyond the confines of Anakin's apprentice and delves into the relationships he forms with other significant characters. We are treated to glimpses of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Padme, individuals who play pivotal roles in Anakin's life. These scenes serve as poignant reminders of the love, loss, and sacrifices that shape Anakin's journey. As the narrative unfolds, we are transported to the tumultuous era of the Galactic Civil War. It is here that Anakin, now known as Darth Vader, is confronted by those who were once close to him. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Luke, in particular, stand as powerful symbols of the conflict that exists within Anakin's soul. The video skillfully portrays their emotional encounters, showcasing the internal struggle that Anakin faces as he grapples with his past and the choices he has made. What truly sets this video apart is how seamlessly it merges all these intricately woven scenes together. The transitions are flawless, creating a cohesive and visually stunning experience. Every frame serves a purpose, painting a vivid picture of Anakin's journey and the profound impact he has on the galaxy.
This was by far one of the best edits I've seen about Anakin and the editing on the duels was fantastic, even the fight from ANH was incredible and on the same level to the rest of them.

Anakin has the most tragic story in cinematic history. What could’ve been if he never was deceived by Sidious. He truly was the Chosen One.
I mean he ultimately did restore balance to the force.
Anakin and Arthas
It wasn't just because Palpatine decieved him. Qui-Gon dying sealed his fate because he was the only Jedi able to help Anakin understand and accept loss because he wasnt a council Jedi. Anakin needed a father figure. Instead he got Palpatine. Qui-Gon didnt care for politics and did what was right. The council Jedi were arrogant and way too politically motivated. Anakin numerous times tried to talk to the council and they said accept it. Let go. Obi-Wan was more council the Qui-Gon and too young to train an all powerful and troubled Padawan. Visions be damned. It was a perfect storm. Anakin was to blame, Obi-Wan was to blame, Palpatine was to blame, and, the Jedi Council was to blame. My favorite character in cinema or literature. Because I could see myself going down that same dark road, with the force super powers you think you control, but, in reality controls the user. I know I would have fallen no matter how much I loved and cared. That's why Anakin/Vader is my favorite. P.s. I would have taken off Mace Windu's head not his hand. He to me represents the worst of the council. But that's just my opinion.
Nah he's a bad character
What a load of horseshit. It's tragic but not the most in film history that's a goofy take

Binge all the Star Wars stuff on Disney+ with her and let her grow up with the character :)
The best villain of all time! 🙂❤️❤️❤️ Reletable but evil, the pure hero and cruel bad guy. Vader/Anakin feels like harsh life but in the end you gets revarded and Luke is like yours dreams when you think that everything in life will be always easy/undisturbed by life. 🙂
@user-kd7qu5hj5q Being a force ghost is good and also he is somehow a God/„keeper of World between worlds” in Ahsoka show.
@user-kd7qu5hj5q but everyone can see this differently 🙂👍
Hayden Christensen was perfect as Anakin/Vader
He is a good man. Thank God
I love his long-term commitment to the character.
He did such a good job showing how and why he transformed. And the writing of it to make us empathize and understand he could not heed yodas training. He could not let go of his pain in knowing the future, he was trapped by it. I don't understand why so many people don't like anything but the original movies. I grew up with iv, v, and vi, now there is so much more depth to character.
Early Vader yes , people who say he was like a child etc , etc , that’s exactly the point
Small portions of his acting bothered me, but I mostly agree with you.
Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones.
Thank you for giving us the best Villain in history

From psychological point of view Anakin had a problem of negative core belief that would tell him that he 'was not good enough' to save those he loved so much.
This led him to emotional dysregulation. He could not control his feelings and they started to control his mind, behaviour and his actions. This character is a fascinating case from psychological point of view and it is a huge credit to genius mind of George Lucas.
Hayden Christensen was chosen to play this role by the force. You feel every step of the transformation in his face and soul. Born to be Anakin...
His recent performances have shone a new light on his skills, it truly shows that the script failed him on the prequels not the other way arround, the cooler deeper voiced anakin version from the clone wars perfected the essence of the character and its now showing in live action
Like Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker...
@@altzard6170Prequels Anakin is exactly as Anakin should be lol. People just don’t like awkward protagonists.
TCW Anakin isn’t Anakin, he’s just Han Solo lite in an Anakin body
Hayden is remarkable❤
@@altzard6170 I do have to say though, I believe even if the scripts were awkward for him, I believe they intended for Anakin to feel awkward, uncertain of his path in life, uncertain on how to act and talk to some people and I do think it portrayed it well, but obviously some parts definitely are a bit weird.
'Anakin is gone, I am what remains.' coldest line ive heard in a long.... Long time.

Goodbye legendary actor James Earl Jones 😢 the Star Wars community will forever love your roles and the experience you gave us in theaters as Darth Vader
"Have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side?" - that line coming from Padme was so on point!
Why was she saying that?
@@gonzalosanchez1425 there is no good or bad. she understood that even the separatists were not completely wrong
@gonzalosanchez1425 because since she was a GOOD politician, she actually was seeing the political corruption that was happening right in front of everyone's faces and they were CHEERING for it. The government of America literally came to be right in front of everyone, and she couldn't do anything about it......
I believe that sentence was the one sole reason that gave anakin the conviction to continue on his path

Truly means a lot. 🙏
Completely agree with Christian. When the Luke scenes kicked in towards the end, made me tear up. Jeez bro, respect and thankful for the power of your edit.
This cut was truly the best Star Wars summary I could have imagined possible! I genuinely teared up at the end. You've made me remember the good that is behind Star Wars thru the politics and wokeness that Disney has been trying to tack on over the years. Star Wars has always been the Skywalker story and those around him. To deny that is criminal and undeserving of opinion or criticism. I can't express enough the joy this mere 18 min video has brought be and to the editor I just want to say thank you so much for touching on the best memories of life growing up with these legendary stories!
I must agree, oh what could have been!
Seems like "Star Wars" 1977 was woke from the get-go. Han Solo's the conservative, (guns/money/sleaze/short sighted selfish) that turns a new leaf, Kenobi the idealist spiritual new age progressive mentality, Leia the strong woman who takes the mans's gun and literally and takes charge and denies to bow to any authority of all the men all around her. @@drastiin2630

When Obi Wan says "I'm sorry for all of it", I have the feeling that real emotions are going through both Hayden and Ewan
fukk all of this Bullshit
I also felt that line as so profound. Everything Anakin went through. All of it. Obi Wan witnessed along the way and ultimately couldn’t stop Anakin from finally becoming the monster of Darth Vader.
@@coreyworthingtonii9230yes, plus the fact Anakin shed a tear after the apology made me break up. He truly came full circle, and fulfilled the prophecy.
"OH, i hate yew" 💫
Which movie was that from? I don’t remember obi wan say sorry for all of it? Or is this from those Disney offshoots series?
The redemption of Vader only comes as a direct result of Luke's refusal to give up on his father. Kenobi, even Yoda were unable to do that. I love the lightsaber battles, but as an adult I now realize that the wielding of the blades and being a jedi was more than just power or skill. Those colors of green and red really represented the greater battle of evil vs. good, and it's fitting that the victory doesn't come as a result of the blade or the power of Luke. The light side wins because of Luke's refusal to condemn and call to his father to be redeemed. It is never too late to start doing what's right, to turn and be healed. This theme is what makes the story so great and timeless.
well said
Green is relaxing so it fits perfectly with Luke who had faith that his father can be redeemed.
Let’s not pretend like Vader didn’t also play a hand in his own redemption, he sacrificed himself to save his own son. Luke very much reminded Vader of who he was/who he really is.
Just like Vader destroyed Anakin, it was Anakin who destroyed Vader and Sidious in one swift blow, Luke was no where near powerful enough… Vader was.
Luke was the catalyst but the good was always still there inside Vader, he just needed someone that he didn’t feel betrayed by to believe in him. Both Luke AND Anakin saved the galaxy.
just like his mom, he never gave hope on him.
@@EternaITruths No bro, the sheer fact that in episode 6, Luke just being able to hold his own against 2 sith lords of their caliber is remarkable. By episode 6, Luke had surpassed Vader, regardless if that was his father, he was so strong with the force that he was able to turn the 2 sith lords against each other.

Jake Lloyd did a wonderful job of capturing the child innocence of Anakin and the terror of how children can be turned out into monsters.
The older I got I realized Anakin was never a bad guy. He was just trying to save his true love, since he couldn’t save his mom.
And the older i got was she choose her career over him.
ya killing younglings not too bad when your in love. he brought balanced in both ways. he balanced the Jedi order when they were in charge. then he ended the empire actual balance.

Anakin was my favorite when I was a kid. I turned 12 just in time for Revenge of the Sith. Watching him turn into Darth Vader was crazy. That was one of the greatest movie experiences I ever experienced.
I was born in 1983 so I already knew what happens but when I watched it for the very first time, I was just as shocked when I found out that Vader is the father of Luke as you were when you found out that Anakin is Vader.
I was the same age when I saw it. I even knew it was all coming to an end and I still cried in the theatre. To this day the prequels are a hard journey to watch imo
We were the lucky ones
I'm crying, we lost Mr. James Earl Jones. R. I. P.

All were conveyed so well, and the chemistry with Padme was a very believable catalyst, I mean who wouldn’t want to give up everything for someone you love as much as that.
Tragedy is real.
Beautifully done, my friend. The Irony with Anakin was that, in the end, he did eventually bring balance to the force.

Such a beautiful video man
There’s three edits of Anakin/Vader on here that make me sob I swear. 😭 This one is one of them lmfao. The first one is ‘The Chosen One’ by Heroes Fan Productions. It’s near 10 minutes long and a total masterpiece! I was a mess by the end of it. 💀
Couldn’t agree more. I shed manly tears
Same!
I didn't cry, but I definitely felt that tingly feeling, like if it went on any longer, I'd break 😂 This is an awesome video
Luke believed in Anakin. He forgave him and loved him unconditionally, even when everyone else has given up on Vader being irredeemable. He was who Anakin needed, and that broke through to him.
Great video.
Anyone notice how the lightsaber clashes were synced to the music? In addition to all the other praise, the attention to detail and the effort to make it perfect is inspiring.
God those Padme flashbacks before he throws Palpatine, HIT! Vader, the tragedy of Star Wars, the man who lost it all.

“Now that’s a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time..” got me in tears 🥹
I'm glad Hayden wasn't replaced and given the opportunity to play Vader in the series. So often the actors come and go.
Genuinely the best character and the best villain in fiction for me and the most heartbreaking. Because you don't feel like he should be killed, you don't feel like he's evil. He needs to be saved and that's what happens
The way George wrote this story and the way Hayden plays him blows my mind. The OG's and the Prequels are for me the only SW movies, damn the rest.
This is a real masterpiece.
Underrated : He did brought balance to the force, not once but twice, only not in the way they expected it to happen 💯
Hayden Christensen IS Anakin Skywalker. And this video is a masterpiece.
If this edit was any better, the universe would tear itself apart. This is an insane piece of cinematic history, combining all the key moments of the Skywalker Saga, showcasing the faults of the Order, deception of the Sith, the emotional manipulation of Anakin as well as the grip Vader had on the Galaxy by pure fear alone. The transition where Krennic looks at Vader in sheer horror with the sound of Palpatine giving Vader his Sith name was jaw dropping. The part where a remixed version of duel of the fates plays when Vader faces Obi Wan, then cuts to silence shows the hatred, fear, sweat, tears and brotherhood shared between the two. The transition from the Hallway scene to the multiple other fights was just unbelievable
5:48 That tear comes with the weight of a decision that would change the entire galaxy forever. Always gives me chills

14:10 is just pure goosebumps, I love when editors make it so that it seems like Anakin is remembering these things after all of it has already happened. Really shows how thoughtful and sensible he still was, even after he became Vader.
As a child in the late 70's and early 80s, I watched Episodes 4, 5 and 6. Like probably most people at the time, I naively thought the saga of Star Wars was the story of Luke Skywalker. As the years passed, and the rest of the story was revealed, I learned, as we all did, that this was the story of Anakin. Star Wars in it's many forms, is a pop culture phenomenon like no other in that it brings such joy and entertainment to it's fans. What you have created here, is a beautiful piece of art that so masterfully encapsulates the story of one of science fiction's most recognizable characters. As a lifelong Star Wars fan and fellow video editing enthusiast, I commend you on your hard work and outstanding creation. Thank you for putting this out into the world for others to enjoy, and May the Force be With You.
Well Said, I also Grew up in the Early 70's, My Dad took me to See STAR WARS for the 1st Time when I was 6, was HOOKED! George Lucas' Original Versions before DISNEY took Over are the GREATEST MOVIES Ever!
Anakin Skywalker. The fallen angel, and the greatest character ever created.
Wonder if Lucas meant to depict him as Jesus or Lucifer. Suppose he represented both in ways
@@Psyfi85Anakin is balance so this is perfect that he is both God/Jesus and Lucifer/Satan. 🙂🤍🖤
The Anakin/Vader story is as much about heartbreak as it is redemption. Anakins heart broke when he couldnt save his mom, then he couldnt save Padme. The Emperor saw the rage inside of him and twisted it into the most powerful Sith at that time. His redemption comes at the cost of his own life sadly. This edit perfectly sums all of that up. Thank you for this.
Well said
Very true, part of him died with Shmi, and obviously Padme. He also believed his unborn child died at his hand. Completely broke him, but Anakin was never fully vanquished. The bottom line is the Council got their hands on the messiah then handed him over to Satan. Truly tragic
What a terrific tribute to the greatest and most complex hero and villain in Star Wars history

Fr. The hate he received was never warranted. George's shit dialogue was to blame for the prequels,never Haydon. You felt every emotion with him. While a lot of the new Disney stuff is bollocks,Haydon getting his renaissance is probably the best thing to come out of it all.

This was insanely good. Anakin is one of my favorite characters. Even as I go through the ROTS book I find myself putting it off to complete even though its so good. Knowing that Anakin will turn is so sad. Amazing work!
I prefer Vader over Anakin, but. i haven’t read the ROTS book so I guess I would be a little less attached as you are, but Darth Vader is just an amazing, intimidating, STRONG character. He is just purely awesome and a force to be reckoned.

What a terrific tribute to the greatest and most complex hero to villain to hero in history
Better than the actual series. We'll done. This was a great tribute to James. RIP Mr. Jones. You will be missed.
Anakin/Vader is the epitomy of human nature. Sometimes no matter how hard we try we always give in to our weaknesses.
Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars and cinema history. Born without a father, poor, a slave with no hope for the future, taken from his mother, his mother taken from him, fell into forbidden love, feared loss again, fell to darkness, lost his title and gained a new one, destroyed the order he fought for his whole life, lost his wife, lost his friends, lost his children, lost his body and became trapped in a suit which made him suffer constantly and was the fuel for his hatred, comitted terrible acts, met his son and daughter years later and his heart was again moved and awoken, defeated his wicked master who fooled him and saved his son and was redeemed. Beautiful. No one can tell me there is a better star wars character.
Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. Anakin's redemption story resonates because it tells us all something we desperately want to believe - that no matter what we've done, it's never too late to turn back. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. It's never too late to stand up, dust yourself off, and turn around. You are never too far gone to change. Vader tells Luke earlier, "It's too late for me, son", yet his last words were "You were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right..." It's only too late to change if you have convinced yourself of that very fact.
Personally, as a Christian, I relate Anakin's redemption to the idea that none of us are too far gone to be beyond God's forgiveness. We're all flawed, but we aren't lost if we turn and accept God's pardon through Jesus.
This is very good.

@12:20
The first 30 seconds are so powerful, visceral and emotional. Obi-wan’s remembrance of what he did to Anakin that day on mustafar. The realization that he mutilated and burned his brother, then left him to die. Anakin’s final scream as he burned alive on the bank of hot ash and rock… Complete chills and the horror of what happened and the sadness of what could have been make everything so much worse
I'm not a big commenter, only do it when I feel necessary but this, this is necessary to give my feedback. I have never in 7 years been able to be as entertained as this without losing focus, or interest, or anything. It just about brought tears to my eyes.

Goodness this brought me to tears. His journeys as a generous, selfless boy but a slave to Watto to a slave to Darth Sidious, and then back to himself is so tragic, yet so beautiful, especially when distilled the way you did. Thank you! And may the Force be with you!
„Be brave and don’t look back.. don’t look back“ always pushes tears into my eyes
"You either die the Hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the Villain."
Truth.
Anakin Skywalker crossed and mastered both the light and dark sides of the Force. Redeemed by his conviction, he was the Chosen One, the only one who balanced both sides of the scale.
Perhaps misread the Prophecy is. Bringing balance is not destroying one side or the other. But more likely one who could have the power to unite both Sith and Jedi. Perhaps one who could use the Force to create life. There is one who just might be that powerful. One who is both Jedi and a Palpatine. One who could be Empress of the Galaxy.
@@jstube36 Ah NO!
George lucas himself said Prophecy was destroying the Sith and bringing balance and Anakin was the chosen one and he was still the chosen one even after becoming darth vader because he destroyed the empire, the sith and himself thus fulfilling the prophecy.
Not my words...thats George lucas's own words
@@owensunuwar697 But the Darkside was not destroyed. The Sith may have been albeit temporarily. The message is that the Darkside will always be. And that one side cannot be without the other.

This is easy one of the best, if not the best, tribute I've seen this year. Every time I'll go back to watch this video I'll think "This is where the fun begins". Truly amazing, I really mean it.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. The tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is one of the best arcs in all of cinema. Awesome job, man!
After so many years this is one of the best dramas ever made. And there is always the question `What if. . . `
This video, without a doubt, represents the most remarkable depiction of Anakin Skywalker and his transformation into Darth Vader that I have ever come across. It captures the essence of Anakin's extraordinary journey, leading from a heroic figure to a formidable villain, and ultimately finding redemption to become good once again. I cannot stress enough how this portrayal resonates with me on a deep level, forging an even stronger bond with the Star Wars universe.
While every aspect of the Star Wars saga is undeniably awe-inspiring and enjoyable, it is the legacy of Anakin Skywalker that stands above all else. His story, as portrayed in this video, is a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of his character. It takes us back to his early years, portraying him as a wide-eyed child, brimming with untapped potential and innocence. As the scenes seamlessly transition, we witness Anakin's growth as he embarks on the path of a Jedi apprentice, his destiny intertwined with the unfolding events of the Clone Wars.
One aspect that truly captivates me is the inclusion of Anakin's own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Their bond is beautifully portrayed, showcasing the mentorship and camaraderie that develops between them. Through their shared experiences, we witness Anakin's guidance and the profound impact he has on shaping Ahsoka into the remarkable Jedi she becomes. The video masterfully weaves in scenes of their interactions, highlighting the depth of their connection.
But the video doesn't stop there; it goes beyond the confines of Anakin's apprentice and delves into the relationships he forms with other significant characters. We are treated to glimpses of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Padme, individuals who play pivotal roles in Anakin's life. These scenes serve as poignant reminders of the love, loss, and sacrifices that shape Anakin's journey.
As the narrative unfolds, we are transported to the tumultuous era of the Galactic Civil War. It is here that Anakin, now known as Darth Vader, is confronted by those who were once close to him. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Luke, in particular, stand as powerful symbols of the conflict that exists within Anakin's soul. The video skillfully portrays their emotional encounters, showcasing the internal struggle that Anakin faces as he grapples with his past and the choices he has made.
What truly sets this video apart is how seamlessly it merges all these intricately woven scenes together. The transitions are flawless, creating a cohesive and visually stunning experience. Every frame serves a purpose, painting a vivid picture of Anakin's journey and the profound impact he has on the galaxy.
We need a full blown Vader film. Him chasing Jedi throughout the galaxy.
Disney Would never. But I want that too.
Yessss

This was by far one of the best edits I've seen about Anakin and the editing on the duels was fantastic, even the fight from ANH was incredible and on the same level to the rest of them.
This gave me full body chills and deep nostalgic induced sadness.
Anakin Skywalker has the best story in cinematic history !
What an absolute Masterpiece. Anakin is such a tragic character, and this video captured that perfectly. Well done!!
So happy to know how Hayden is loved by the fandom
This brought me to tears.
