I love how when the suit is being put on, you can hear a heartbeat. Then before the mask seals, there's nothing. After it seals however, the heartbeat returns. The death of Anakin, and the birth of Darth Vader.
Napalm Blaziken It's actually because he dies, and in the original scene (this one is cut to just show Anakin) Padmé dies, and when she dies, Anakin's heart starts to beat again. That's because Sidious stole Padme's life to give it to Anakin. Lucas confirmed it, I think
the "Where is Padme" line always concerns me because even though Anakin just got the suit on we always see Vader as this massive villain and after everything he will do and has done to that point, just to hear him be concerned is heartbreaking.
+MegaDrainProductions To me, that scene is the MOST powerful scene of all. Because in that particular moment, he lost EVERYTHING he was fighting and reasoning for. How much of a betrayal must it have felt for him, as he found out about Luke Skywalkers existence?
+John Balboa I think you misunderstood, just hearing Darth fucking Vader being concerned for another human being hurts because we recognize this voice as being really evil especially with the expanded universe.
MegaDrainProductions Yeah, but sith can be concerned. Jedi such as Anakin have been driven to the dark side in order to save loved ones or to seek revenge for their deaths. This is why it was forbidden for a jedi to fall in love. Vader's love for Padme was the only part of Anakin left in him. The "NOOO" is when Vader starts to reject his former self and is only driven by hate, especially against Obi-Wan. The moment when Anakin dies, this scene was meant to show the tragedy of Anakin. The emperor likely planned it, look at the way he smiles before Vader's "NOOO". He has now completely driven him to the dark side. From this moment on, he's the menacing Darth Vader we know.
@@coreyfisler8663 Did you hear the other guy voice vader before him loool it was laughable thank god James Earl Jones saved vader character without his voice vader would be a laughing stock, he made him the infamous sith we know today
@@JM-bx2vg I did thought before that the original guy (David Prowse) knew that he was gonna get dubbed therefore making an attempt at sounding menacing would be unnecessary
This scene almost brings me to tears. Sidious destroyed Anakin and everything he had. The jedi order is destroyed, Padme is dead, his master is gone, his body is horribly scarred, his mother is also dead, pretty much everything he ever had and loved is gone. This all explains why Vader begins to construct a plan to kill Sidious, hell I bet Vader was filled with hatred every time he even thought about Sidious. And even more hatred every time he called him master
+SuperSix4 Well, killing Sidious (or himself) would be useless... that doesn't bring back all the people he loved. Besides, Sidious was a father figure to him.
+Елизавета Самусева but he grew to hate him after all sidious has put him through, all the lies he was told, he realized Palpatine didn't actually have the power to save padme, in fact rumor has is that he had arranged her death(which I think is false) but Vader did want to kill Palpatine and hated him immensely after he learned that padme was dead
+Елизавета Самусева but eventually when he learned Luke was his son he realized he still had a family and could overthrow the emperor like he originally planned
It doesn't have the same effect here that it had in the theaters. With the enhanced sound and loudspeakers, the breath was encompassing. It felt like it had much more gravity.
Hayden Christensen did such a good job in the Vader suit. When Vader takes his first steps, you can see him struggling to walk since he’s not used to these new mechanics and weight of the armor. I can’t wait to see Hayden and Ewan again in the Kenobi series
Or he knew that he was pulling the final straw in Anakin's transformation into Vader, by telling him that he was responsible for Padme's death, ensuring that he would be forever driven by hate, hence why Palpatine smiles afterwards.
@@fisher3317 I think he smiles because of the monstrous Sith lord he just created. Even in the suit, Vader is immensely powerful and Sidious surely is kinda proud of him for surviving that accident and becoming so powerful.
@@joseventura7943James Earl Jones did voice Mustafa in The Lion King in 1993 and had previously voiced Darth Vader in the original Star Wars Trilogy while actor David Prowse was inside the suit in original films as stood 6 foot 6 and was a former body builder.
Yeah! The Phantom Menace, not so much, but that's just because of Jar Jar; He is given a smaller role as the prequels progress toward order 66. Hell, in this movie, he doesn't even get a line, he's just a background extra!
I love the music at 2:27 it is very powerful and full of emotion. It shows us how much Anakin has fallen. From being a selfless teen and child that wished to go back to his homeworld to free all the slaves to becoming a disfigured and hateful person. That lost everything that he loved.
Agreed. The music is incredible, especially how magnificently tragic it is beginning at 2:26. Ever since I saw this movie at the theater, I have been struck with Vader’s walk across the star destroyer - how the music sounds more like a dirge than a triumphant entrance.
+Troy Miller In one of the tie-in novels (sorry i don't remember which one) to keep his force sensitivity from going, for lack of a better term, dull, no anesthetic was used.
2:09-2:12 It’s the faintest sound ever but anakin does indeed say, “Padme, help me” as the mask is put on. It may take a few listens before you hear ir
While I'm not a huge fan of the prequels overall, this scene is fucking beautiful. What makes it bizarre and haunting is the fact you hear VADER'S voice say things that only Anakin would. It just sounds so odd hearing Vader's voice be scared.
Adam LeClerc well after revenge of the with in the long span to episode 4 Vader got smarter and stronger (which doesn't really show much in his rematch fight with obi wan)
It really shows how much of a turning point for his character this was. He was emotionly broken after this, and that's what turned him into the Darth Vader we know from the Original Trilogy. Years of knowing little more than grief, pain, anger, and hate, all of which pertain to the Dark Side.
I know the last couple of seconds when Vader and the Emperor are standing together was truly nostalgic for those who grew up with the Original Trilogy!
never noticed the “padmé help me” at 2:08 before watching this. gasping for her when he knows it’s probably too late. the thought that went into this movie/the prequels in general and their sound design cannot be ignored!

To think that “in your anger you killed her” may not actually be referring to the force choke but just Vader being on the dark side in general which was almost true. Does anyone agree with this?
Holy shit you might be right. Palpatine might have been playing words right there. "In your anger, you killed her" By being in the dark side, padme lost the will to live 0_0
Some believe Palpatine was stealing Padme's life force through her heart break and sadness and putting it in Anakin when he was making him Darth Vader. In the comics, Palpatine said to Vader after he fell on his knees after shouting "no" that Padme left pain for Anakin.
Yes it is because Padma was fine she lost the Will to live literally because of Anakin turning into Vader. Also Obi-Wan and Yoda don’t understand the super advanced technology they have. But it’s also the will that’s why Vader lived as his hatred compounded into ensuring he wouldn’t die as he forced himself to stay alive.
Darth Sidius smiled when Vader screamed out in pain. . IMO he never gave two shits about vader. He was like a recruiter fucking up young boys futures with power and honor talk to build his own army.
+Rogelio Rocha He didn't really lie, though. As far as he could have known, she died. She survived his attack initially, but by the time of that revelation she had already passed.
Palpatine literally watched over Vader for 30 years, he cared about Vader. He smiled because he saw that Vader achieved force scream out of his anger. Force scream is when a sith harnesses all of their anger in there scream and destroys everything around them.
Rest in Peace James Earl Jones…. Thank you for terrifically portraying a character that helped make me a lifelong fan of Star Wars. May The Force Be With You ❤
Rogue one is the worst prequel in my opinion. Boring until the last 5 min. Darth Vader's costume is horrible, look at his neck in Rogue One. Jyn and her dad have different accents? I didn't get attached to any of the characters. It didn't take any risks at all, It was purely pandering to Star Wars 4-6 fans. Filled with stupid cringeworthy scenes. "Don't choke on your aspirations" Seriously? How so many people like this movie is beyond me. I think Disney has taken steps to delete and avoid criticisms.
The part right before the "nooooo" is the best one. When he rips off his constraints in anger and sorrow and tries to move around with his new limbs, but his movements are still clunky.
The heartbeat, his non-sith eyes showing its Anakin looking at the mast like WTF, and then "help me padme" with his burnt vocal chords... the detail in this scene is extraordinary
Darth Vader is a work of art in himself - a sad, broken man whose idealism and selflessness are smothered by cruel reality. My compliments to George Lucas for such a unique personality. When I was a child, learning about Darth Vader was one reason why I reconsidered the black and white perspective of my childhood. In addition to other experiences, Darth Vader was a lesson why life is complicated and why I should understand others' perspectives, not just my own. People could do questionable things for justifiable reasons and vice versa.
4:10 It was at this point when a voice in my head said "The circle is now complete" the hairs on my arms stood up, goosebumps, and a chill coursed my body. this specific scene was so powerful I began tearing up and smiled
3:56 I fucking love this part, the music is so heartbreaking, illustrating the end of the Jedis, the Republic, the death of Padme and all, but at the end very powerful, this time illustrating the mightiest Empire taking place very quickly!
+J macho Oh thank Christ someone else gets that! This scene is so maligned but I bloody love it. I'll never forget that moment of silence in the cinema before Vader took his first breath. Still gives me chills.
Haha! Mmmm now I want Mexican... Glad you feel the same way I do about SW. Am watching the climactic duel between Luke and Vader in III right now. Cinematic perfection.
“Your father was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.” - Obi wan Kenobi
I love that even though Anakin has fully joined the dark side and officially completed his transformation into Darth Vader after putting on the suit, the first thing he asks about is Padme which really tells you that there is still a tiny part of his old self inside him cares for someone but when Palaptine tells him that he "killed" her in his anger, it not only cemented the empeor's evil hold over his new apperentice but also showed that whatever was left of Anakin Skywalker was now long gone
3:40 was my exact reaction when I heard the very sad news about the legendary James Earl Jones passing away. I thank him giving his voice to who would be my all time favourite villain and to a lion who is a comforting father figure to everyone. Rest in Peace James Earl Jones. May the Force be with you. Always.
The "no" scream was foreshadowed when Yoda was feeling Anakin's pain after Shmi died. It's right after Qui Gon's calling and before Vader's exhale. Masterpiece of a trilogy.
2:27 the shot, the music, the slow tragic reveal of one of cinemas most iconic villians, my god dude. i understand empire might be the objective best of the first 6 but revenge of the sith will always be my favorite.
@@Rudy_Play He didn't know that. At this moment he thought he won, which is kind of true given that he went on to rule the galaxy for the next several decades.
Joe Humpston So this was like 20 years before ANH, and according to Rogue One it took them 15 years to build the death star. And the empire was already fully established with new tie fighters and star destroyers. Im thinking way too hard about this, this timeline is fucked.
The events of "The Phantom Menace" took place thirty years before the events of "A New Hope"; the events of "Attack of the Clones" took place ten years after TPM and the events of "Revenge of the Sith" three years after AOTC. Anakin was just 9 in TPM, 19 in AOTC and 22 in ROTS. So, by the time we get to the events of both Rogue One and ANH, Anakin, at that point, Darth Vader of course, would be 39. When ANH was being filmed, David Prowse, the actor who originally played Darth Vader in physical form, was 39. So, there we have ir.
It's that final scene! So raw and powerful, filled with sadness and passion as we see the Deathstar being built with the three main Villains in the same shot assembling the original trilogy... DISNEY will NEVER climb that high to achieve what Lucas achieved with Star Wars
3:32 the way his first step is so heavy and awkward kinda gets me As a kid i thought it was weird but like man now it makes sense its his first time with legs that arent his
I like the detail of Sidious remaining perfectly fine while Vader crushes all the droids and machinery in his grief and rage. Good way to demonstrate his mastery of the force.
The way the room crumbles around them and how Vader snaps off his restraints then takes his first heavy steps. A new dark life is created. Frankenstein's Monster suffering in unbearable pain standing right next to his proud creator marveling at his own magnificence.
I'm glad people are finally coming around to this scene because it's actually pretty important. First of all, his love for Padme is the reason he did all this (also losing faith in the Jedi) so to not ask about her is ridiculous. Second it emphasizes the tragedy in all this. He's lost everything that mattered to him, his mother, being a Jedi, Obi-Wan, Padme, his lack of feeling towards other people and apathy towards his true identity as Anakin is complete. Yes, he became Darth Vader when Palpatine named him so but Anakin was also there. It's how Dooku was also Darth Tyannus. At this point there is no separation between the two. Anakin is truly gone and only Vader is left. Third, it emphasizes the Anakin-Luke-Padme connection. Both mother and son believe there is still good in him and the last thing Padme said to Anakin was that she loved him and wanted to be with him. Anakin would be truly dead if he allowed Palpatine to kill Padme's child with him.
Whatever people may think of the prequels (I'm not the biggest fan myself), I still remember that moment of absolute silence in the cinema before Vader took his first breath. I get goosebumps even thinking about it. I grew up with Star Wars and that moment - that moment - will never be equalled. Ever. Also, I like the 'Nnnoooo!'. I know I'm pretty much alone in this! However I love the symmetry with Luke's 'Nnnnoooo!' (which btw I find far more hilarious), and the Frankenstein trope - Vader freeing himself from the bonds of the operating table and taking those first two heavy steps... Haters gonna hate but I totally dig it.
This is more poetic than people actually give credit for. The first lines Vader (while in his suit) says are about his wife; Padme. And the last lines he (before the mask was taken off) convey are about his son; Luke. Vader thought about his family from the first moment he donned the suit until the last.
I grew up with the Prequels and my dad showed me the originals when I was young (Hell I even learned how to use a VHS when I was only 2 years old to watch the movies) and hearing James Earl Jones say "Padme" sends chills down my spine.
For the heartbeat. The heartbeat is there. It starts off relatively strong before it weakens, then cuts off entirely after the mask seals and the top of the helmet is placed on him. He breathes and the heartbeat returns. Right after, we see Padme die.
I just love the sinister tone that starts playing at 04:11. It gives you the feeling that the Jedi are all but deatroyed, The Grand Army of the Republic is now under the command of a powerful sith lord, and the Rise of the Galactic Empire.
3:41 you can really hear the heartbreak in his voice. He had tried so hard to save Padme from what he thought was her death, the Palpatine was likely manipulating him with the dreams to make him think that. First it was his mother, and then it was the woman he loved. He was unable to say both of them, and you can really hear that in his cry.
I love how the Emperor takes two steps back when Vader says "I couldn't have. She was alive, I felt it". Apparently Darth Sidious was kinda afraid of Vader's anger and what it could do (for instance, the short earthquake in the room induced by Vader's absolute anger)
I love how when the suit is being put on, you can hear a heartbeat. Then before the mask seals, there's nothing. After it seals however, the heartbeat returns. The death of Anakin, and the birth of Darth Vader.
Napalm Blaziken It's actually because he dies, and in the original scene (this one is cut to just show Anakin) Padmé dies, and when she dies, Anakin's heart starts to beat again. That's because Sidious stole Padme's life to give it to Anakin. Lucas confirmed it, I think

@@mrdylanwintle Not from a Jedi

Rogue one is the worst prequel in my opinion. Boring until the last 5 min. Darth Vader's costume is horrible, look at his neck in Rogue One. Jyn and her dad have different accents? I didn't get attached to any of the characters. It didn't take any risks at all, It was purely pandering to Star Wars 4-6 fans. Filled with stupid cringeworthy scenes. "Don't choke on your aspirations" Seriously? How so many people like this movie is beyond me. I think Disney has taken steps to delete and avoid criticisms.
The lights around the medical "stretcher" that vader is on at 1:40 resemble the symbol of the galactic empire.
I noticed the Kabbalistic symbolism myself...long ago...
Little things like that are why I love the prequels.
Nice notice
The part right before the "nooooo" is the best one.
When he rips off his constraints in anger and sorrow and tries to move around with his new limbs, but his movements are still clunky.
"This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever."

Within your furnace heart you burn in your own flame
The heartbeat, his non-sith eyes showing its Anakin looking at the mast like WTF, and then "help me padme" with his burnt vocal chords... the detail in this scene is extraordinary
The music when Vader is walking towards the window is great. It's a very sad, tragic take on the Jedi Theme transitioning into the Vader Theme.
3:49 I don't know why, but that moment with Tarkin and the sith was one of the best scenes in the trilogy. It kind of made the trilogy for me
Darth Vader is a work of art in himself - a sad, broken man whose idealism and selflessness are smothered by cruel reality. My compliments to George Lucas for such a unique personality. When I was a child, learning about Darth Vader was one reason why I reconsidered the black and white perspective of my childhood. In addition to other experiences, Darth Vader was a lesson why life is complicated and why I should understand others' perspectives, not just my own. People could do questionable things for justifiable reasons and vice versa.
4:10 It was at this point when a voice in my head said "The circle is now complete" the hairs on my arms stood up, goosebumps, and a chill coursed my body. this specific scene was so powerful I began tearing up and smiled
Idk care if the Noooo was cheesy or not, this scene will always be iconic. RIP James Earl Jones, he’ll will forever be our Lord Vader. 😔
Vader was actually shrieking in agony in this scene, but his voice modulator reinterpreted it as the closest word it could match, which was “No”.
3:56
I fucking love this part, the music is so heartbreaking, illustrating the end of the Jedis, the Republic, the death of Padme and all, but at the end very powerful, this time illustrating the mightiest Empire taking place very quickly!
1:06 bosses be like
"You still coming to work today?"
Aw no 😭
I love the small details like when he breathes out, the smoke around the area was blown away.
That scene when Vader and Sidious are watching the Death Star construction is one of my all time favorite scenes in the entire Saga.
2:22 feels like the most epic breath anyone has ever taken
loved the nod to Frankenstein via pulling off of the table
+J macho Oh thank Christ someone else gets that! This scene is so maligned but I bloody love it. I'll never forget that moment of silence in the cinema before Vader took his first breath. Still gives me chills.
Lydia Coutts the Force is strong with u...whats yo damn email lol
Haha, the Force is indeed strong with me ;-)
Lydia Coutts me too...but i think it was the jalapeno rice i ate earlier
Haha! Mmmm now I want Mexican...
Glad you feel the same way I do about SW. Am watching the climactic duel between Luke and Vader in III right now. Cinematic perfection.
Who’s here after hearing that James Earl Jones passed away? May his spirit become one with The Force.
As the mask goes on, you can hear Anakin softly says, "Padme help me."
Holy shit dude. I have never once heard that till now. That's crazy.
@@Shadowcat2085 Go to 2:06 then you should hear it seconds after that I had to put the volume up high with headphones on he does whisper it though.
@@Shadowcat2085 No problem.
that's so chilling. what n amazing detail added in there
Na
“Your father was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.” - Obi wan Kenobi
To Luke Skywalker.
2:22........that first breath..........that sound STILL gives me CHILLS!!!
3:38 When you eat the last pizza
jesus christ lmao
you know man ahahah
3:40 Your friends when they see you ate the last pizza
Farewell James Earl Jones. You're now w/ the force
The way he muffles “Padme help me” right before the mask goes on😢
I love that even though Anakin has fully joined the dark side and officially completed his transformation into Darth Vader after putting on the suit, the first thing he asks about is Padme which really tells you that there is still a tiny part of his old self inside him cares for someone but when Palaptine tells him that he "killed" her in his anger, it not only cemented the empeor's evil hold over his new apperentice but also showed that whatever was left of Anakin Skywalker was now long gone
3:20 when you realize that James Earl Jones aka Darth Vader himself, has passed away today. R.I.P Darth Vader. May the force be with you, always. 😔
May the force be with him 😢
3:40 was my exact reaction when I heard the very sad news about the legendary James Earl Jones passing away. I thank him giving his voice to who would be my all time favourite villain and to a lion who is a comforting father figure to everyone. Rest in Peace James Earl Jones. May the Force be with you. Always.
3:40
Star Wars fans everywhere reacting to today's sad news. RIP James Earl Jones, he is one with the force now.
The "no" scream was foreshadowed when Yoda was feeling Anakin's pain after Shmi died. It's right after Qui Gon's calling and before Vader's exhale. Masterpiece of a trilogy.
2:27 the shot, the music, the slow tragic reveal of one of cinemas most iconic villians, my god dude. i understand empire might be the objective best of the first 6 but revenge of the sith will always be my favorite.
R.I.P. James Earl Jones the voice of “Darth Vader.” Rest in Peace (1931-2024)
3:39 emperors troll face.
I hate that you had to make me laugh at this truly heartbreaking and powerful scene over some dumb Internet inside joke
It was at this moment that he knew his decades of planning and pulling strings had fully come to fruition.
Bro was so hyped about what he turned Anakin into lmao
@@fisher3317 Well, as it turned out, not quite completely - Luke and Leia survived
@@Rudy_Play He didn't know that. At this moment he thought he won, which is kind of true given that he went on to rule the galaxy for the next several decades.
4:01 Thus Begins...
*_Rogue One._*
It's events didn't really happen until like 17 years later, but you're right!
Joe Humpston So this was like 20 years before ANH, and according to Rogue One it took them 15 years to build the death star. And the empire was already fully established with new tie fighters and star destroyers. Im thinking way too hard about this, this timeline is fucked.
The events of "The Phantom Menace" took place thirty years before the events of "A New Hope"; the events of "Attack of the Clones" took place ten years after TPM and the events of "Revenge of the Sith" three years after AOTC. Anakin was just 9 in TPM, 19 in AOTC and 22 in ROTS. So, by the time we get to the events of both Rogue One and ANH, Anakin, at that point, Darth Vader of course, would be 39. When ANH was being filmed, David Prowse, the actor who originally played Darth Vader in physical form, was 39. So, there we have ir.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ugaaa5
*_I find your lack of taste disturbing..._*
It's that final scene! So raw and powerful, filled with sadness and passion as we see the Deathstar being built with the three main Villains in the same shot assembling the original trilogy... DISNEY will NEVER climb that high to achieve what Lucas achieved with Star Wars
3:32 the way his first step is so heavy and awkward kinda gets me
As a kid i thought it was weird but like man now it makes sense its his first time with legs that arent his
2:58 "It seems in your anger you ate her"
"I... I couldn't have. She was a salad. I tased it"
Darth CaseOh
dropped one of the most amazing performance in Kenobi series and passed away knowing his legacy was intact till the end
I like the detail of Sidious remaining perfectly fine while Vader crushes all the droids and machinery in his grief and rage. Good way to demonstrate his mastery of the force.
The way the room crumbles around them and how Vader snaps off his restraints then takes his first heavy steps. A new dark life is created. Frankenstein's Monster suffering in unbearable pain standing right next to his proud creator marveling at his own magnificence.
You still don't have the rank of a Master
02:08 Say what you will about the prequels, but that scene alone was worth the money I paid for it at the cinema.
I know
RIP, James Earl Jones. Some of his best voice acting here.
2:21 the birth of vader
3:44 the birth of the empire
4:01 the birth of the deth star
4:13 and the birth of a new era
3:36 - Palpatine realizing his plan for the past 3 movies has come true.
R.I.P James Earl Jones.
"She was alive, I felt it!" Love how he sounds saying that.
I'm glad people are finally coming around to this scene because it's actually pretty important. First of all, his love for Padme is the reason he did all this (also losing faith in the Jedi) so to not ask about her is ridiculous. Second it emphasizes the tragedy in all this. He's lost everything that mattered to him, his mother, being a Jedi, Obi-Wan, Padme, his lack of feeling towards other people and apathy towards his true identity as Anakin is complete. Yes, he became Darth Vader when Palpatine named him so but Anakin was also there. It's how Dooku was also Darth Tyannus. At this point there is no separation between the two. Anakin is truly gone and only Vader is left.
Third, it emphasizes the Anakin-Luke-Padme connection. Both mother and son believe there is still good in him and the last thing Padme said to Anakin was that she loved him and wanted to be with him. Anakin would be truly dead if he allowed Palpatine to kill Padme's child with him.
Whatever people may think of the prequels (I'm not the biggest fan myself), I still remember that moment of absolute silence in the cinema before Vader took his first breath. I get goosebumps even thinking about it.
I grew up with Star Wars and that moment - that moment - will never be equalled. Ever.
Also, I like the 'Nnnoooo!'. I know I'm pretty much alone in this! However I love the symmetry with Luke's 'Nnnnoooo!' (which btw I find far more hilarious), and the Frankenstein trope - Vader freeing himself from the bonds of the operating table and taking those first two heavy steps...
Haters gonna hate but I totally dig it.
Your not alone the noooo for me signified how sad, lonely, and betrayed he felt after becoming the literal thing he swore to destroy
Who’s here for the late James Earl Jones 2:52 the voice of Vader will live on forever !
R.I.P James Earl Jones you are one with the force
This is more poetic than people actually give credit for.
The first lines Vader (while in his suit) says are about his wife; Padme. And the last lines he (before the mask was taken off) convey are about his son; Luke. Vader thought about his family from the first moment he donned the suit until the last.
Vader's physical change to the dark side was a sight to see. I hope he's the absolute unit and monster we love in the Kenobi Series.
I love the genuine concern you hear when he asks about Padme. You can hear his voice tremble a bit, filled with regret and remorse at what he did.
I grew up with the Prequels and my dad showed me the originals when I was young (Hell I even learned how to use a VHS when I was only 2 years old to watch the movies) and hearing James Earl Jones say "Padme" sends chills down my spine.
Rest in peace James Earl Jones 🪦⚫️
Rest in peace James earl jones
The tragedy of Anakin.
Rest in Peace James Earl Jones 🕯
R.I.P James Earl Jones
RIP James Earl Jones ! ❤
that first breath that comes out the suit still sends chills down my spine
Rest in peace James Earl Jones
1931-2024 died at age 93. What a living legend 😢❤
For the heartbeat. The heartbeat is there. It starts off relatively strong before it weakens, then cuts off entirely after the mask seals and the top of the helmet is placed on him. He breathes and the heartbeat returns. Right after, we see Padme die.
Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker might be one of the most misunderstood characters of all time. He wasn't evil and hateful, he was angry and heartbroken.
I just love the sinister tone that starts playing at 04:11. It gives you the feeling that the Jedi are all but deatroyed, The Grand Army of the Republic is now under the command of a powerful sith lord, and the Rise of the Galactic Empire.
3:41 you can really hear the heartbreak in his voice. He had tried so hard to save Padme from what he thought was her death, the Palpatine was likely manipulating him with the dreams to make him think that. First it was his mother, and then it was the woman he loved. He was unable to say both of them, and you can really hear that in his cry.
one word...
HISTORICAL!!!
3:40 How many were here after the death of James Earl Jones
2:26 Rip James Earl Jones 🙏🏽
One of the most iconic scene in Star Wars history-birth of Darth Vader
Indeed
I love how the Emperor takes two steps back when Vader says "I couldn't have. She was alive, I felt it". Apparently Darth Sidious was kinda afraid of Vader's anger and what it could do (for instance, the short earthquake in the room induced by Vader's absolute anger)
