ok there is no coincidence that the most replayed time stamp is at 5:55 of course you degenerates played that the most she's the prettiest huh wow so sad
The amount of emotions Hayden portrays saying "I hate you!" is literally one of the most heartfelt moment in cinema for me. I can really feel all this hatred and anger, it chilled my spine.
But at the same time, you can sense his sorrow, the way he was truly twisted by all that happened, killing the younglings, the way he felt betrayed by the jedis, how he choked Padme although he loved her... truly one of the most emotional scenes ever. Great acting.
@@lucasrateau7580rue, yet ppl said the opposite. It was unfair all the hate he had to go through cause of ppl being stupid not understanding anakin's personality. I've been watching starwars all over again this week along with the series cause I wanted to understand what went wrong and idc what nobody says even tho I loved Episode III this part broke my soul😂 I can see it now & It stills hit me, I have to admit tho, darth vader is the only villian that I have a soft side/spot for, & that everytime I saw him I was scared in every movie he'd died, but I was also scared for my other favorite characters, so it was hard for me to watch cause they ended up killing my favorites they sure knew how to play with us😂
@@dasuritorres7552uring the other distractions that occurred anakins judgement was poisoned to the point of making what he likely imagined to be irreversible actions after committing them.( aka the jedi temple children and force choking padme.) The emperor courted him behind others backs twisting how he perceived the decisions of the jedi council and the man who raised and trained him. It makes obi wans I loved you line hit even harder. Anakin was already to far gone at this point. All the injury did was set in stone his ideals of absolute and constant suffering he puts himself and anyone he trains through once he rises again as Vader. He sees his constant suffering as an edge that keeps him powerful. Not exactly my theory. Many others have thrown that one around as well since he never gets skins graphs and he never upgrades his cybernetic body even though he has nearly endless resources available to do so. Anyways sorry about the rant. I think these two actors perfectly compliment each other in this scene. One wouldn't really be as good without the other.
@@madelinerock6951 I liked his scene were he rushes to save fis mother and then admits to killing the village. When he stares into the camera after Shmi’s death you can see the anger in his eyes. Great stuff.
@@heiniknallkopp9688well, 2/3rds of a bad trilogy, since one of those movies is really great, The Last Jedi. The two directed by jar jar abrams are horrible
@@golemtv4817 The Farce Awakens is good???? Good compared to what? The Christmas Special, perhaps. Anyone who can't enjoy The Last Jedi likes SW for the wrong reasons and can't grow up.
@@heiniknallkopp9688 Bro, what universe do you live in??? The only great movie in the Prequels is Revenge of the Sith, Ep. 1 and 2 are just garbage (except for Darth Maul and Dooku) because there was no plot enough for both movies (so they put all the politics mambo jambo that nobody cares... And Jar Jar Binks), everything Jorge Lucas wanted to tell was in Ep. 3. While in the Disney trilogy, Ep. 7 is good (not exceptional, but a very good introduction to the new characters and story), Ep. 8 is great (broke some expectations for the sad whining fans) besides the Canto Bight plot filler, Disney Trilogy only screwed up in Ep. 9, bringing angry JJ back and listening to "fans" bs, undoing all the good choices made in the previous movie. Why bring Palpatine back, if Kylo could be the supreme leader and main villain and not turning back to the light? Why Rey must be related to someone powerful if Anakin Skywalker was born like baby Jesus with no father? Anyway, Ep. 3 is certainly top 3 in SW movies, but that won´t save Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones from being the most boring and poor plotted movies of this franchise along with The Rise of Skywalker.
The Jedi have rules their members are required to follow. They don’t force people to stay. That isn’t slavery. By the time AOTC rolls around, Anakin is a legal adult. He could have chosen to leave the Jedi to marry Padmé.
It was originally scripted when Anakin is burning and he reaches out that he was supposed to cry out “Help me!!” To Obi Wan and then Obi Wan turns and walks away. That brief moment when Vader fades and Anakin resurfaces just adds a whole new layer of emotion to this scene
I think it was scrapped because obiwan would have so much trouble not helping him, and the audience would have negative reactions to him not, same thing as azulas character redemption ark in ATLA, shes too hard to make sympathetic in a short time, zuko would do anything to help her if she asked for it, but she doesnt and that keeps things simple
@@cpob2013 yeah see the lack of sympathy for anikin seems out of character for obi wan so i imagine he would have had a very had time walking away had anikin actually asked for help
@@KegaB3 like uncle Owen said, obi wan died about the same time as anakin did. Order 66 changed him profoundly, or at least seeing anakin turn. Obiwan didn't think there was anything left of the anakin he knew. "He betrayed and murdered your father". Keep in mind obiwan loved the jedi order just as much as anakin and was fully prepared to kill him. He wasn't at all the renegade like qui gon, he was by the book, and anakin had just destroyed the entire library.
Dude, mad respect for George Lucas for daring to show us this very visceral physical transformation of Anakin into Vader. This raw emotion alongside the visuals... it's hard to stomach... so dark, so good. You know nowadays it'd be impossible, Disney doesn't have the balls to go here.
Euh... Kylo Ren a commis un paricide. Ce n'est pas rien. Mais la Prelogie est allée plus loin avec Anakin, dans ses souffrances. Plus encore que dans le Retour du Jedi même 😉
@@tristanlambert658 that was a complete misunderstanding of Vader's character, and turned him into another generic villain under Disney. Before, Vader had some nuance to him, in that he was extremely LAWFUL EVIL, not chaotic like Maul, who would kill a child. Anakin slaughtered younglings during Order 66, but he hated doing so, as he doesn't obtain his Sith Eyes until he murders the Sepratists Leaders on Mustafar, showing he enjoyed it. Vader tortures people for information and his own personal gain, he doesn't kill without reason, especially children. He would've 100% tortured the kid to draw Kenobi out, but to kill them, is simply not Vader's style. Everyone loved the Rogue One scene where he just mercilessly kills rebels, but that's because they're active combatants and terroists in the view of his Empire. He kills his admirals for failing him, some even after multiple warnings. Never children.
Now I understand why Anakin yelled “I hate you”. He was all alone and everyone who were supposed to be there to help guide him, abandoned him. He tried to save everyone he loved from dying. He failed and was cut down by Kenobi.
@@carlossaraiva8213at that point he didn't use the dark side it used him. he fell so hard so fast, he was by no means a patient person by jedi standards. He wanted the power to prevent his visions right then and there. he succumbed to Palpatin's promise and lure of said power, but that path was the truth behind his visions.
@Mi_Anakin_Skywakerit's like obi wan was no freind the jedis were no freinds mace was no freind it shows that the people you think you trust love will be there this wole movie sends a messige shoeing you not everyone is freinds they hurt pretend to be there playing with you laughing at you look at the film joker.
I know, I think only one of them realized it right away. When I saw it in the theater I thought the same thing till I saw his arm gone too. That was a hell of a swing Obi-Wan took.
He did was George wanted. He did a great job in the Kenobi series. It's a shame Hayden and Ewan didn't have more scenes together. They did phenomenal when they were together.
I remember seeing this in the theater in 05’ as a seven year old. Everyone was on the edge of their seats because we all wanted to see exactly how Anakin became the masked Darth Vader. When Anakin’s legs got cut off, everyone gasped. It was dead quiet because everyone was so stunned. And once Anakin burst into flames, people gasped again because it came full circle to them. That’s how Darth Vader had to wear his suit. An experience I will never forget!
I was 14 when it came out, and where I saw it, the biggest gasps were when Anakin ignited his lightsaber in front of the younglings. As soon as Anakin lit on fire, my first thought was, "you deserve this. You murdered countless Jedi and children, so this is your punishment." That is why I personally never felt sorry for what Anakin went through.
For loving him he sure wrote him off quick, shaming him instead of trying to reach him, couldn’t even say that Padme didn’t know he was there, threw her right under the bus. Obiwans trash
@@CBRHurricane6 the entire trilogy he was teaching Anakin, by the time obiwan went to get anakin it was already to late and he knew that, he saw the video of him killing the younglings before that, and it wasnt until obi wan says "i will do what i must" after talking with anakin that the decision was made, anakin chose to fight him, obi wan didnt want to
@@CBRHurricane6 because padme knew that he was there and anakin would’ve been able to sense the deceit. But I think your assessment is totally unfair. Obi-Wan loved anakin and treated him like family all throughout their lives together. Even up until the end he was still trying to reason with Anakin telling him “don’t try it”. Anakin ended up being too arrogant because the darkside consumed him
Watched this in theaters when I was 6 and I couldn’t stop crying my eyes out. My parents kept telling me that “he was evil” to justify it but I knew he wasn’t
He murdered children, as well as so many other killings. Imagine saying "he wasn't evil" about anyone else in reality that did that, and people would think you were either an apologist for evil or insane. There's a reason Lucas couldn't have Anakin survive in Return of the Jedi.
@@rikk319 Imagine living your life after what other people would think of you. You’re right, they would, but if a child can understand how evil can sprout through a series of events like in Anakin’s story and still have sympathy and love for the person, I’d rather ask what stained the pure heartedness of an adult to chose to rather resent and hate such a person. Hate the person’s actions, not the person him-/herself.
@@f0x4wd Sidious ordered Anakin to wipe out the Jedi Temple. In doing so, this would inevitably involve killing Younglings, yes. Sidious knew this, and made sure to imply that Anakin would have to "do what must be done. Do not hesitate, show no mercy" in order to become stronger in the Dark Side of the Force. Anakin, completely distraught and clinging to Palpatine as a lifeline after betraying Mace Windu and the Order as a whole, was willing to go along with whatever he said if it meant saving Padme.
One of the scenes in cinema that never fails to get me teary-eyed. Their story and John Williams' music under "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you" hits really hard.
It's amazing how the prequels seem to get better and better with age. On release, people said that this was over-the-top and corny. Now, people cry to the point that it should get a retroactive Oscar nomination.
No they're still pretty much garbage...just because the new disney trilogy is bad as well...but in different ways...doesn't somehow make the prequels retroactively better... Bad writing and dialogue, stiff awkward acting, terrible plot, stupid contrivances and a lazy over reliance on green screen...and the whole thing is so lacking in self awareness...thinking it's Shakespeare or a greek tragedy when in reality it's more like a big budget version of "the room" I have pretty low opinion of the Oscar's and what the industry believes his high art worthy of recognition but anyone who thinks they deserve anything but a "razzie" is blind, deaf and dumb.
@@John-kc4cg Nah george forgot or misunderstood what star wars fundamentally was...he somehow got into his head he was frank herbert or some shit...that he was a great science fiction writer capable of handling, prophecy, politics and serious tragic drama etc He seriously overestimated his own talent and skill... It's no coincidence the best star wars film wasn't directed by him and even now no one really recognises how much heavy lifting the other writers contributed to it's success...don't get me wrong...george lucas is a smart businessman (i.E keeping the merchandising rights etc) and true visionary who revolutionised the film industry when he built industrial light and magic...and for that he should always be respected...but he's not a very good writer or film maker...he managed to catch lightning in a bottle and he managed to power and propel an entire career with it... Ultimately though at the end of the day...his legacy is turning a cultural touchstone into little more than mass produced lunch and cereal boxes...all the comics. the extended universe, the lore, all the crap books written by mercenary hacks over the years...it's all cash grab merchandise with no more artistic value or intellectual quality than those cheap empty hollow and plastic lunchboxes...then he sold out "to the souless white slavers at disney" (his words not mine)
@@kamwalker6296 I dont know the writing was crap and it lacked all cohesive planning but the overall production quality and general acting was far superior...and yeah it's obvious george's heart wasn't in it...but the argument that he couldn't find anyone is ridiculous. The truth is...back then like now...there would literally be a million directors lining up around the block to work on a star wars film...more so as it would've been before george and disney devalued and overexposed the I.P...this was long before the whole marvel superhero shared universe craze and the rise of the Y.A (young adult) franchises etc as well...so it literally would've been a once in a lifetime opportunity. If anything the problem would've have been sorting out all the applications, bids and pitches...and considering how the prequels turned out...anyone even a first time director with no experience might have been better at the job. Also we're just talking about direction and managing a production here...this shit doesn't even address the terrible writing, plot and dialogue which george is entirely responsible for...the truth is he'd become too rich, powerful and complacent, no one challanged his decisions whereas back in the day he had calibrators and had to make compromises..."art through adversity"...star wars didn't turn out exactly as he intended...yet it was magnificent.
That "I hate you" growl by Vader... Great writing and great delivery by Hayden. Not hatred for getting his limbs severed, but hatred for Obi-Wan and believing his former master betrayed him and left him all alone, forcing him to join the Dark Side. And the final "I loved you" by Obi-Wan just truly hits home, shows that Vader lost himself the moment he accepted Palpatine's call.
The “I HATE YOU” by Anakin is much deeper and sadder than at first glance. Not only is he in agonizing pain and has to watch Obi-Wan take his property and leave him, but he blames Obi-Wan for not making him stronger to save his mother. He also disliked the hypocrisy of the Jedi of making him commit treason. He also blames Obi-Wan for turning Padme against him and sees him as the reason why she’s going to die. Obi-Wan really crushed and saddened by this telling he loved Anakin like a brother makes this the saddest scene in all of cinema. Two brothers gone right in front of our very eyes.😭😭😭😭😭😭
IKR?! Did everyone think they were playing a game or something? Wasn't it clear when they said they were going to *Kill* each other that they were not going to just say "oh, drat" and walk away? 🙄
The damage was more than external, and he went through surgery without anesthetics or painkillers. The droids had to scrape away all the dead and dying tissue for months. During his transition into the Darth Vader we know and fear, he came to the realization that everything that happened to him was his fault and he owned it vowing revenge on Darth Sidious in whatever way he could. However, during the OT, Vader knew he couldn't beat Sidious and was okay with being replaced by his Son, at least that way Vader would have post-mortem revenge due to The Rule of Two. Only Two there should be. One Master. One Apprentice. One to embody the power. The other, to crave it.
@@FloBro31 there are canon books of star wars related to the old sith lords who created the rule of two and a book on the rule of two. All these details are given in the book. Alonggwith that the book version of Revenge of the Sith also tells you how vader felt during his surgery
@@FloBro31 I read the Novelization of the movie. I'd Highly recommend it to anyone interested in The Birth of Darth Vader. Also, the cross section of Episode 3 was a picture book that explains everything, you can find those pics easily enough on Google and Bing Images. When you look at them, keep in mind that Vader was conscious throughout the whole operation. Spoiler Alert: Vader has a synthetic lung that's literally just a scuba tank.
@@thesigmamale1720 Half true, yes. Vader did, indeed, serve Sidious as his punishment. However, the other half is that Vader didn't have any choice, he wanted revenge, and he was a Rule of Two Sith with little to no hope of continuing the line, himself. He tried to plant seeds of decent, but they were all found and destroyed. Only until Vader found his Son did he accept one of two outcomes. 1.) Train him in secret and prop Luke up as the new Emperor. 2.) Die by Luke's hand, trained by Sidious, and Luke kills Palpatine to become The Sith Master and Emperor. A sort of posthumous revenge, either way, Vader won.
I always love the people who mention Obi-Wan calling Anakin his 'brother' on the first watch-through. Cuz, in my opinion, that is how he unknowingly failed Anakin. Anakin needed a father, but what he had was a brother/friend. Though that bond isn't to be understated, losing all your parental figures at 9 will mess you up. You can't fully blame Obi-Wan though since he was so young too. Anyways, props to the people who mention that.
Spoil alerts : Can consider the fact that Obi suffered as much as Anakin did and never turned to the dark side just a sec : - Qui Gon, the one who raised him - Satine, his forbiden love - The whole Jedi order, dedicatement of his life - Anakin, the brother he put so much high hopes in until the end while seeing younglings being killed - Padme, great friend and devoted to instore peace I can't help but thinking of that one knight arround Arthur table which devoted this whole life the quest of Graal and chivalry code
Watch the clip "Obi-Wan has ptsd" with the cuts from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith cut in. Makes the brief moment he discusses the Clone Wars with Luke in a New Hope even more powerful
@@faith4657 he's given into the dark side fully at that point ....his eye first changed when he kneeled for sidious at the Jedi Temple that obi wan saw
The saddest thing about the Obi Won and Anakin relationship is that Anakin was desperate for the love and respect of a father figure, but he couldn't see that Obi Won loved him like a brother
Dammit, Episode III is seriously underrated; easily one of the best movies of all the saga. that scene alone still hits hard to this day. Amazing movie
@@sike3180 really?? I've heard absolute bashing of Episodes I-III for years (I watched it when it came out in theathers). Maybe people appreciate it a lot more now, and that's a great thing
It’s arguably the best Star Wars film out of all of them. The most important things happen in this movie. It’s a monumental achievement that is unprecedented. Say what you want about old George Lucas abandoning his work to Disney but god damn he knew how to write a perfect movie saga
“How does he live after that” It’s actually sad to think about, cause when obi wan cut off his legs and arm, they were cauterized. So he wouldn’t bleed out, also his burns weren’t bad enough to kill him quickly either. Even the surgery as painful as it was, wouldn’t kill him. He received the most painful wounds but they weren’t fatal.
What’s worse. In the surgery they had to not use anesthetics as that could have jeopardized his midichlorians which was the only way he was still alive. He felt every single cut and saw blade in his surgery .
@@jalenellis3594 Pain and Anger, those are two big things that dark siders draw on for power, that's the only thing that kept him alive. The Emperor purposeful made his suit with defects to keep him uncomfortable and in pain so it would further fuel him and make him stronger as Vader.
When you watch the Clone Wars, you kind of understand why Anakin turned to the dark side. Every person he ever loved or trusted either left him or betrayed him.
@@thomashumphrey48 Good on you, same in my life. These people "who do bad things because bad things happened to them", don't speak for us. They were going to do bad things anyway, because the main reason they did stuff was because of them. The things "that made them evil" didn't make them that way, they were things that wouldn't make other people do bad stuff but make them do bad stuff, because they have a hard on for using justifications to omit them from responsibility.
@@thebigbop5866 People are different and will take things different ways. That's why some people will laugh some things off while others deeply internalize them and feel terrible. Not all of us are the same. It's easy to judge when you're not inside the mind of a person and don't know their emotions.
@@Andy-ly2tz I'm scholared in understanding human behaviour and well versed through personal trial and error of what these cretins actually are like. You'd be surprised how influential the "sympathy for the devil" mentality really travels. Surprised isn't the right word, more like astonished x 10,000. Some people really do just try and make the best of what they have and the environments they're in make some things truly unavoidable, but the violent people, they will find a way to be violent in an empty house. They are addicted to it, at which point when I would say something like this that old "sympathy for the devil" stuff kicks in, and all of the possible reasons they can reason stuff become convenient truths to grasp to. But the truth is they have bought into their addiction and they have no interest in changing anything until they realise they haven't done as much self work on who they are as they did with the addiction. The world is jubilant at the news of Johnny Depp being liberated from Amber Heard. There are millions of Amber Heard's both male and female who are known to their victims as completely evil bullshitters absolutely milking in people's willingness to turn a blind eye, but they don't have his millions of dollars to go after their Amber Heard. Nothing has changed, except that if you have a shit load of money you have a chance at standing up for yourself through an arbitration system. It's easy to all pile in on her, we're all at a distance, and other people are doing the fighting. The biggest human drug in history is violence, and it has a legendary level of excuses for it.
It's interesting how when kenobi said to Anakin/Vader that he "loved him". When you take a step back, Anakin was so wrapped up with trying not Lose Padme cause he loved her so much. Yet couldn't grasp that he was losing others he loved like Kenobi who became a brother to him. So ended up losing many people who he loved and they loved him.
God this scene is so powerful. The emotional intensity between these two. Obi-wan not wanting to fight let alone kill Anakin but realizing how really fallen and dark he has become after succumbing to the dark side. One of the most intense scenes of all the Star Wars movies!!
people give revenge of the sith, and the prequels in general alot of shit, but i really love them, especially RotS bc of how well made the Obi-Wan VS Anakin scene is
ROTS is actually very well respected. At least now it is. And deservedly so. The emotion was top notch.. the action and the lightsaber fights were top notch.. the acting was great... It was easily top 3 out of the entire Star Wars trilogy. For me it was the best one. But I'm sure some others like 4, 5 or 6 better
@@cpob2013 That's one of my favorite things about this movie. The fact that these two really went at it ahead this green screen and mastered the fight chorography.
It's a good overall movie but it still suffers from George Lucas's bad screen writing ability when he doesn't have the help he had on the original trilogy. If you are talking about the script, dialogue, pacing, and how well each character is written, the movie has a lot of flaws.
Dude, this movie has a 92% approval rating on Google, and Epis 1 and 2 do not differ much. Far more people liked the prequels than what the haters would want you to believe
This scene left me traumatized. Anakin going from the innocent slave boy to the burning demon filled with hate. I watched as Anakin was torn away from us both physically and spiritually in front of our very eyes. This makes this without a doubt, the saddest scene in all of Star Wars.
That scene when Obi Wan and Anakin are talking on the steps before they see each other on mustafar is powerful. Obi wan in the light and Anakin in the shade and as Obi leaves he says “Goodbye old friend” and that truly was the last time he’d ever talk to “Anakin”
Damn dude... i knew about the symbolism of that scene, but the way you described it above really hit me hard after watching this, wow. So friggin sad. : (
Especially sad because Anakin is apologizing for being too impatient and Obi-Wan is praising him. Its sad when you realize they parted as they were closer than ever.
Fun, but actually sad fact: If you look closely to Anakin’s face after Obi-Wan says ”I loved you”, he actually regrets what he has done and wants to beg for forgiveness. Just before he bursts into flames😭😭😭
Maybe his Sith eyes just barely dissipated in that moment, but I actually doubt that he genuinely wanted to ask for forgiveness in that moment. Yeah, the only thing Anakin truly wants in life is validation and love from the people around him, and that "you were my brother, I loved you" would sound like a good argument for him to turn, but with how much the Sith corrupted him already, and after that whole fight... AND after having screamed "I HATE YOU" at him... I'd find it a bit strong that he'd be that quick to ask forgiveness 😅
@@potitishogun2961997 there is a deleted scene where Anakin does ask Obi Wan to help him. Obi Wan then responds that he can, but he won't. That's the moment Anakin's eyes burn yellow and he screams "I hate you!" So you're right, he wasn't about to beg for forgiveness. In a way, in that deleted scene, he had already tried.
@@pyxl666 Hm... I'm lowkey glad that scene was deleted, cuz it's way out of character for Obi to ignore a plea for help, even from his biggest enemy...
Hayden Christensen was absolutely phenomenal in this scene. Both of them were. You could feel his agony. I cry like an infant every time I see this. You just ache for Anakin. The emperor was s cunning warrior.
Seeing the heartfelt reactions from these girls was very inspiring and wholesome. Finding the beauty and emotion in works of fiction is part of the human experience. I think that their emotional responses to such a tragic scene tells me that they have sensitive and compassionate souls, which reflects well on their character.
@@superjumpbros64 not the whole thing, I agree. But some vital and core parts of the story and the continuity of it is heavily compromised leaving the entire show redundant and completely irrelevant. It is with heavy heart I write this, as I truly wanted it to be spectacular... but sadly it wasn't. As soon as they had a different writer for episode 5 they made tremendous improvements, but also here, sadly too late.
The saddest part of this scene is those of us who watch it over and over again, we always hope and wish anakin doesnt turn, but he always does so the pain seems just as real as it did when we first watched it
So ends the tragedy of Anakin Skywaler the Jedi, so begins the rise of Darth Vader, who would dominate Ankin's destiny and consume him for the next 20 years until his son, Luke, redeemed him.
After seeing Obi-wan show, I never took it into consideration, just how traumatic this is for Obi-Wan, a child he raised and trained for years, burning right in front of him, a man who once a child, he had to fight, missing limbs, in pain right in front of him. Truly sad.
idk after all Anakin turned to darkside mostly because of obi wan now think about it obi wan didn't have enough qualifications to be a master he just killed the Darth maul? And then council gave him title right away he didn't take any exam to be a master like others throughout the clone wars and prequels we always saw that obi wan never trusted him plus obi wan was so unqualified to be master that even palpatine didn't bother to eliminate him because he was never an obstacle finally we see in a new hope by the time Luke saw the duel between vader and obi wan , obi wan realized that moment and he unpurposely let it go and was killed by Vader so that Luke could feel the anger and hate towards Vader I believe obi wan had always been a selfish arrogant guy just like other council members
@@Mandyjoonez6 of course obi wan wasn't perfect but you're actually wrong about much that you said about obi wan if one thing he was never was selfish that's just not true at all man
@@Mandyjoonez6 Obi wan was not prepared but he did the best he could, Obi wan always trusted Anakin, that's why he was incredulous when he saw the things he had done in the Jedi Temple, Obi-wan also hid that he knew about Padme and Anakin's relationship, because he knew that this made Anakin very happy, Obi wan already in episode IV believed that Anakin was irredeemable, after all the things he had seen him do, from killing children to suffocating his pregnant wife. Obi wan thought that everything that was once good about Anakin had disappeared and that this empty shell full of hatred and anger that remained of him should disappear for the good of the Galaxy, to prevent him from spilling the blood of more innocents, Luke then had to finish him off, that's why Obi-wan trained him, but his sacrifice was not intended to create anger towards Anakin within Luke, but simply to die so that Luke and the others escape, since Obi wan knew that Luke wouldn't leave as long as he was alive, and escaping Anakin's wrath without a fight was impossible at that point. Obi wan had many flaws, but being selfish was not one of them, the guy spent almost two decades on a desert and inhospitable planet living badly in order to make sure that the son of the man who betrayed him and ruined his life was safe.
For years I was mocked because I cried over this scene after it got turned into a meme. It’s so reassuring to see that it made others as emotional as it made me.
@@macminia_anton thats his Right Arm you noticed, cut off by Count Dooku in Episode 2 Here his left arm also gets chopped along with both legs essentially leaving him without limbs
Love this scene and everyone is giving Hayden his deserved credit on the delivery of the "I HATE YOU!" Line, but coming back I've realized Ewan does an OUTSTANDING job at showing the resentment in his actions he truely believed Anakin was still the savior. You see him come to the realization and fallback on their own personal relationship. Such a heartbreaking scene for cinematography and both actors deserve full marks for their performances.
To this day, Vader’s screams as he catches on fire are just terrifying and excruciating to hear. I almost had to look away in 2005, and 17 years later, it’s just as painful to watch.
My sons didn't know that's how Vader wore the suit he did they watched this scene and they went "That was scary i never knew that's how he got into the suit" My youngest couldn't watch it fully until recently
Watching this makes you realize just how actually powerful the prequels are. They got their share of hate back in the day but when new people see scenes like this with fresh eyes they get the huge torrent of emotions this narrative climax delivers.
This is by far and away the best emotional acting in all the prequels though and it's basically all because of Ewan. The prequels were not like this overall
@@cptsteele91 He's not wrong though, this movie is a big step up from Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. I mean I enjoy those movies, but they are basically just setup for the events of Revenge of the Sith
I think a big aspect of Anakins fall and him and Obi-Wans relationship that is not really touched on is that Anakin had viewed Obi-wan as a father but Obi-Wan had viewed Anakin as a brother.
I think the fact that Obi Wan saw Anakin as a brother as in an equal shows how much Obi Wan really loved Anakin cause he never saw himself as better than anakin but as his equal, which is the greatest admiration that a pupil can get from his master.
@@williamdean4775Qui-Gon is the true father-figure Anakin needed. If he was alive, things would’ve been different. Obi-wan could never fulfilled that role because he wasn’t prepared to train the most powerful force user in the universe.
I just LOVE that Obi knew what Anakin was gonna do as well as how to defend against it BECAUSE….. it was the same exact jump force move he used against Darth Maul 🤓😜 not many catch that detail
This movie did a great job of showing how Anakin becomes Vader both physically and mentally and both actors did a phenomenal job making the audience feel the pain in that scene "in my opinion"
Well he has mechanical body so his mobility was nerfed to core but his mechanical arm can overpower that of human's. He lost mobility but was replaced with super strength and of course, he spam his force choke more frequently than Anakin.
From "Revenge of the Sith" novelization, by Matthew Stover: This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever: The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain. The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew at your flesh. You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down. You don’t even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever. Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me? And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain. You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you. Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous. Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat. Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your anger, you killed her. This burns hotter than the lava had. No…no, it is not possible! You love her. You have always loved her. You could never will her death. Never. But you remember… You remember all of it. You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth… And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker. That it was all you. Is you. Only you. You did it. You killed her. You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself… It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith - Because now yourself is all you will ever have. And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were. You are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end, you do not even want to. In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself- And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame. This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever…
Honestly one of my favorite books. Fun fact, for some reason it came out like a month before the movie. I happened to find it on the shelf at a store as a kid and got it. I obsessively read the whole thing in a day. It honestly scared me how quickly Palpatine turned things and how complete his victory was.
I remember being 10 years old in the theater watching this. I know the prequels aren't everyone's bag, but this was the most heartbreaking thing in the world to see at 10. It felt like I was losing a brother along with Obi Wan.
I was 14 when I saw this in theatres and I felt no sympathy for him. I wanted to initially, but I remembered what he did to the younglings and brought me back to the realization that all the burns symbolized all the destruction, hatred and murders he committed for a selfish desire.
@@kgunitkeese17 I get that, but he was corrupted and not himself anymore. His lust for power and obsession of saving Padme made him go virtually insane.
As an older fan of Star Wars, I took SHEER care to avoid every spoiler way back then, when ROTS first released back in theaters. People often sung praises about it, so that made me even more excited. Once I watched this on DVD, and heard Anakin scream, "I HATE YOU!" it broke my heart... yet once Obi-Wan said that he loved him, I cried like a bitch. ;A;
My dad was a star wars fan and took us to the theatres for all 3 of the prequels. My brothers and I were bawling our eyes out and he was just silent the whole way home. People can criticize the prequels and its fair but this is one of the most impactful events in cinema
I was 9 years old in tears and my life changed forever after seeing this that’s how groundbreaking movies were in the early 2000s crazy how things changed
One of my All-Time favorite theater experiences this fight was sensational on the big screen. They show the OG trilogy and the Prequels at our theater here on the IMAX screen every year for Star Wars celebration 2 full days of Star Wars! Absolutely amazing! If a local theater does it close to where u live I highly recommend it especially if you have a Warren Theater.
I always wondered about that (why Obi-Wan left Vader alive, I mean). I'd always assumed it was because Obi-Wan's emotions were clouding his judgment and that caused him to mistakenly believe Vader would die there, or because he believed Anakin was still in there somewhere, and couldn't bear to hurt him any more than he already had.
i thought he didnt finish off vader because he assumed (with no Palpatine intervention) that the burns would kill him in a few minutes anyway. Shock from losing limbs. Heat exhaustion. Physical exhaustion. Dehydration. Severe burns. Shock from burns. Hypovolemia from burns. For a human being....they'd like die in a few minutes. I assumed Obi thought like I did: "he's dead in a few minutes anyway, better to let him slip into shock, lose consciousness and die than to have his last sight be me walking over to kill him with my lightsabre. Also, I dont want to kill him. " I didnt think mercy or the jedi code had anything to do with it. I assumed it was plain human emotion that made him walk away.
In the novel "dark lord" its literally the weeks after rots, Vader is revealed to the galaxy in news reports of the imperial subjugation of kashyyk. Obi wan is in a cantina and overhears it. He's just in shock and overcome with guilt that he let him live like that.
It's crazy to think that this movie was made almost 20 years ago. It's also one of the best examples of a tragedy, the other being the story of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings franchise.
@@Tanknuggets217 I wouldn't be too surprised. Sure, there were some dark moments, but nothing too crazy, especially if they wanted to keep a PG or GA rating.
Seeing heartbroken people watching Anakin's misfortune has made me feel different from how I originally saw this scene, especially the first girl, seeing her so affected and sad by this powerful scene, moves me. Within the story, Anakin is the character who has suffered the most of all.
To see their reaction is how we all felt. But also to think that when most jedi lost limbs or eye sight they lost their connection to the force and to see Vader have no limbs left but still be such a powerhouse in the force shows how powerful he really is. And to know if he wasn't mutilated he would be the most powerful force user in the Galaxy is incredible
Honestly I always get too caught up in the epic-ness of the I HATE YOU scene, that I forget to acknowledge the emotional importance of Obi-Wan's "i loved you". The pain both were feeling, and the disconnect that Palpatine festered between them is shown perfectly by this small exchange of words.
Damn, I didn’t expect to tear up again for this scene. It’s been a while since I saw this movie. The reactions of everyone really got to me. That pain was transmitted so well by Ewan.
I've clearly lost my mind when the second reactor said "he has 1 limb left" I started laughing, Star Wars is my favorite movie but that was just funny as all get out 😂
I'm an OG Star Wars fan. I was 2 years old when A New Hope dropped, and SW has been in my life for many great years. So, I was already aware of what was coming, but this scene absolutely broke my heart the first time I saw it. I remember this collective gasp in the theater when Anakin lost his legs, but even a louder gasp when he burst into flames. Despite this being the moment when Anakin emotionally and mentally succumbed to the dark side, my thoughts were with Obi-Wan and how this completely changed both his life and his status as a person. His self-exile to Tattooine was probably the only way he knew how to get any kind of peace after seeing his pupil become the most sinister Sith in existence. I agree, he should've have killed him, but Obi-Wan simply couldn't bring himself to do it. The years he spent alone with these memories was probably punishment enough.
EVERYONE remembers this scene in the cinema..... audience was quiet. shocked with mouth open. some were quietly sobbing. most have tears in their eyes.... (T.T)
Watching a new generation watch this scene makes me believe that I was too young to appreciate the gravity and significance of this scene when I first saw it back when I was 11.

“I loved you…” still breaks my heart to this day. Watching the death of two of my childhood heroes.

"I don't think he (obi wan) exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father"
@@cpob2013 this is an Amazing observation. Thank you!
Me as well.
The amount of emotions Hayden portrays saying "I hate you!" is literally one of the most heartfelt moment in cinema for me. I can really feel all this hatred and anger, it chilled my spine.
But at the same time, you can sense his sorrow, the way he was truly twisted by all that happened, killing the younglings, the way he felt betrayed by the jedis, how he choked Padme although he loved her... truly one of the most emotional scenes ever. Great acting.
@@lucasrateau7580rue, yet ppl said the opposite. It was unfair all the hate he had to go through cause of ppl being stupid not understanding anakin's personality. I've been watching starwars all over again this week along with the series cause I wanted to understand what went wrong and idc what nobody says even tho I loved Episode III this part broke my soul😂 I can see it now & It stills hit me, I have to admit tho, darth vader is the only villian that I have a soft side/spot for, & that everytime I saw him I was scared in every movie he'd died, but I was also scared for my other favorite characters, so it was hard for me to watch cause they ended up killing my favorites they sure knew how to play with us😂
@@dasuritorres7552uring the other distractions that occurred anakins judgement was poisoned to the point of making what he likely imagined to be irreversible actions after committing them.( aka the jedi temple children and force choking padme.)
The emperor courted him behind others backs twisting how he perceived the decisions of the jedi council and the man who raised and trained him.
It makes obi wans I loved you line hit even harder.
Anakin was already to far gone at this point.
All the injury did was set in stone his ideals of absolute and constant suffering he puts himself and anyone he trains through once he rises again as Vader.
He sees his constant suffering as an edge that keeps him powerful.
Not exactly my theory.
Many others have thrown that one around as well since he never gets skins graphs and he never upgrades his cybernetic body even though he has nearly endless resources available to do so.
Anyways sorry about the rant.
I think these two actors perfectly compliment each other in this scene.
One wouldn't really be as good without the other.
Vader: Yes!! You have hate. You have anger. You would make an excellent inquisitor.
You know what? That scene got me too!

No matter how much people had criticised, memed or made fun of the prequels, no one can deny that this scene is especially heartbreaking
And the prequels were always great films, but the fans needed Disney to make an absolute horrible trilogy to realize that.

@@golemtv4817 The Farce Awakens is good???? Good compared to what? The Christmas Special, perhaps. Anyone who can't enjoy The Last Jedi likes SW for the wrong reasons and can't grow up.
@@heiniknallkopp9688 Bro, what universe do you live in??? The only great movie in the Prequels is Revenge of the Sith, Ep. 1 and 2 are just garbage (except for Darth Maul and Dooku) because there was no plot enough for both movies (so they put all the politics mambo jambo that nobody cares... And Jar Jar Binks), everything Jorge Lucas wanted to tell was in Ep. 3. While in the Disney trilogy, Ep. 7 is good (not exceptional, but a very good introduction to the new characters and story), Ep. 8 is great (broke some expectations for the sad whining fans) besides the Canto Bight plot filler, Disney Trilogy only screwed up in Ep. 9, bringing angry JJ back and listening to "fans" bs, undoing all the good choices made in the previous movie. Why bring Palpatine back, if Kylo could be the supreme leader and main villain and not turning back to the light? Why Rey must be related to someone powerful if Anakin Skywalker was born like baby Jesus with no father? Anyway, Ep. 3 is certainly top 3 in SW movies, but that won´t save Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones from being the most boring and poor plotted movies of this franchise along with The Rise of Skywalker.
This scene never gets old... Like the younglings!
Oh, snap!

Especially combined with the "I hate you" from anikan. Some much emotion in so few words.
Let’s be real the story of Anakin is one of the most tragic stories in narrated history
This is true. And when you look at all of 6 of the star wars movies you can see the entire series is really about the story of Darth Vader/Anakin.

@@Karatejin I had a hunch that the kids would be killed ever since they were shown in Episode 2. However, I didn’t know Anakin would do it.
Yep Yep!
Ikr? I was 13 at the time!
@@nrkgalt I mean you had to put 2 and 2 together, you found out Vader was Anakin before the prequel trilogy was even being filmed
It was originally scripted when Anakin is burning and he reaches out that he was supposed to cry out “Help me!!” To Obi Wan and then Obi Wan turns and walks away. That brief moment when Vader fades and Anakin resurfaces just adds a whole new layer of emotion to this scene
I think it was scrapped because obiwan would have so much trouble not helping him, and the audience would have negative reactions to him not, same thing as azulas character redemption ark in ATLA, shes too hard to make sympathetic in a short time, zuko would do anything to help her if she asked for it, but she doesnt and that keeps things simple
In the book, he internalizes "it would be a mercy to kill him. He was not feeling merciful"
@@cpob2013 yeah see the lack of sympathy for anikin seems out of character for obi wan so i imagine he would have had a very had time walking away had anikin actually asked for help
@@KegaB3 like uncle Owen said, obi wan died about the same time as anakin did. Order 66 changed him profoundly, or at least seeing anakin turn. Obiwan didn't think there was anything left of the anakin he knew. "He betrayed and murdered your father". Keep in mind obiwan loved the jedi order just as much as anakin and was fully prepared to kill him. He wasn't at all the renegade like qui gon, he was by the book, and anakin had just destroyed the entire library.
It was muted, but at one point it looks like Anakin says "Help me Master" after his legs are cut off
Dude, mad respect for George Lucas for daring to show us this very visceral physical transformation of Anakin into Vader. This raw emotion alongside the visuals... it's hard to stomach... so dark, so good.
You know nowadays it'd be impossible, Disney doesn't have the balls to go here.
Disney was happy to show Vader killing children again in the Obi Wan series… they can definitely go there.
Andor… ‘nuff said.
Euh... Kylo Ren a commis un paricide. Ce n'est pas rien. Mais la Prelogie est allée plus loin avec Anakin, dans ses souffrances. Plus encore que dans le Retour du Jedi même 😉
@@tristanlambert658 that was a complete misunderstanding of Vader's character, and turned him into another generic villain under Disney.
Before, Vader had some nuance to him, in that he was extremely LAWFUL EVIL, not chaotic like Maul, who would kill a child. Anakin slaughtered younglings during Order 66, but he hated doing so, as he doesn't obtain his Sith Eyes until he murders the Sepratists Leaders on Mustafar, showing he enjoyed it.
Vader tortures people for information and his own personal gain, he doesn't kill without reason, especially children. He would've 100% tortured the kid to draw Kenobi out, but to kill them, is simply not Vader's style.
Everyone loved the Rogue One scene where he just mercilessly kills rebels, but that's because they're active combatants and terroists in the view of his Empire. He kills his admirals for failing him, some even after multiple warnings. Never children.
@@NimbusTM wtf, you haven't been paying attention man
Now I understand why Anakin yelled “I hate you”.
He was all alone and everyone who were supposed to be there to help guide him, abandoned him. He tried to save everyone he loved from dying. He failed and was cut down by Kenobi.
Damn
Making excuses for the villain? You forgot is good thing for the love of his life was killing dozens of children, eh?
@@carlossaraiva8213at that point he didn't use the dark side it used him. he fell so hard so fast, he was by no means a patient person by jedi standards. He wanted the power to prevent his visions right then and there. he succumbed to Palpatin's promise and lure of said power, but that path was the truth behind his visions.

I love how no one ever seems to notice that Obi-Wan didn't just cut off his legs, he cut off his left arm, too.
"He's more machine now than man" which is also a metaphor as well for what is left of his original identity.
I know, I think only one of them realized it right away.
When I saw it in the theater I thought the same thing till I saw his arm gone too.
That was a hell of a swing Obi-Wan took.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that lol. Both legs and the other arm
I actually first noticed that from the complete saga Lego game cut scene
Isn't that a forbidden move that obi wan performed?
People give Hayden a hard time for his acting but he has commitment, he is so dedicated he let people set him on fire
He actually let Ewan cut off his arm and legs. What a guy
He got his arms and legs cut off multiple times in multiple movies!
Dont forgot avoun comics.
He did was George wanted. He did a great job in the Kenobi series. It's a shame Hayden and Ewan didn't have more scenes together. They did phenomenal when they were together.

I was 14 when it came out, and where I saw it, the biggest gasps were when Anakin ignited his lightsaber in front of the younglings.

@@CBRHurricane6 because padme knew that he was there and anakin would’ve been able to sense the deceit. But I think your assessment is totally unfair. Obi-Wan loved anakin and treated him like family all throughout their lives together.

Watched this in theaters when I was 6 and I couldn’t stop crying my eyes out. My parents kept telling me that “he was evil” to justify it but I knew he wasn’t

He murdered children, as well as so many other killings. Imagine saying "he wasn't evil" about anyone else in reality that did that, and people would think you were either an apologist for evil or insane. There's a reason Lucas couldn't have Anakin survive in Return of the Jedi.

Anakin, completely distraught and clinging to Palpatine as a lifeline after betraying Mace Windu and the Order as a whole, was willing to go along with whatever he said if it meant saving Padme.

It's amazing how the prequels seem to get better and better with age. On release, people said that this was over-the-top and corny. Now, people cry to the point that it should get a retroactive Oscar nomination.
No they're still pretty much garbage...just because the new disney trilogy is bad as well...but in different ways...doesn't somehow make the prequels retroactively better...
Bad writing and dialogue, stiff awkward acting, terrible plot, stupid contrivances and a lazy over reliance on green screen...and the whole thing is so lacking in self awareness...thinking it's Shakespeare or a greek tragedy when in reality it's more like a big budget version of "the room"
I have pretty low opinion of the Oscar's and what the industry believes his high art worthy of recognition but anyone who thinks they deserve anything but a "razzie" is blind, deaf and dumb.
@@Shamelesscritique1 The plot of the Prequels is actually really complex and its ideas are good, it was just bad execution
@@John-kc4cg Nah george forgot or misunderstood what star wars fundamentally was...he somehow got into his head he was frank herbert or some shit...that he was a great science fiction writer capable of handling, prophecy, politics and serious tragic drama etc
He seriously overestimated his own talent and skill...
It's no coincidence the best star wars film wasn't directed by him and even now no one really recognises how much heavy lifting the other writers contributed to it's success...don't get me wrong...george lucas is a smart businessman (i.E keeping the merchandising rights etc) and true visionary who revolutionised the film industry when he built industrial light and magic...and for that he should always be respected...but he's not a very good writer or film maker...he managed to catch lightning in a bottle and he managed to power and propel an entire career with it...
Ultimately though at the end of the day...his legacy is turning a cultural touchstone into little more than mass produced lunch and cereal boxes...all the comics. the extended universe, the lore, all the crap books written by mercenary hacks over the years...it's all cash grab merchandise with no more artistic value or intellectual quality than those cheap empty hollow and plastic lunchboxes...then he sold out "to the souless white slavers at disney" (his words not mine)
He didn't want to direct the prequels but couldn't find a great director who agreed to take the risk... Still better than the last garbage trilogy tho
@@kamwalker6296 I dont know the writing was crap and it lacked all cohesive planning but the overall production quality and general acting was far superior...and yeah it's obvious george's heart wasn't in it...but the argument that he couldn't find anyone is ridiculous.
The truth is...back then like now...there would literally be a million directors lining up around the block to work on a star wars film...more so as it would've been before george and disney devalued and overexposed the I.P...this was long before the whole marvel superhero shared universe craze and the rise of the Y.A (young adult) franchises etc as well...so it literally would've been a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If anything the problem would've have been sorting out all the applications, bids and pitches...and considering how the prequels turned out...anyone even a first time director with no experience might have been better at the job.
Also we're just talking about direction and managing a production here...this shit doesn't even address the terrible writing, plot and dialogue which george is entirely responsible for...the truth is he'd become too rich, powerful and complacent, no one challanged his decisions whereas back in the day he had calibrators and had to make compromises..."art through adversity"...star wars didn't turn out exactly as he intended...yet it was magnificent.
That "I hate you" growl by Vader... Great writing and great delivery by Hayden. Not hatred for getting his limbs severed, but hatred for Obi-Wan and believing his former master betrayed him and left him all alone, forcing him to join the Dark Side. And the final "I loved you" by Obi-Wan just truly hits home, shows that Vader lost himself the moment he accepted Palpatine's call.
The “I HATE YOU” by Anakin is much deeper and sadder than at first glance. Not only is he in agonizing pain and has to watch Obi-Wan take his property and leave him, but he blames Obi-Wan for not making him stronger to save his mother. He also disliked the hypocrisy of the Jedi of making him commit treason. He also blames Obi-Wan for turning Padme against him and sees him as the reason why she’s going to die. Obi-Wan really crushed and saddened by this telling he loved Anakin like a brother makes this the saddest scene in all of cinema. Two brothers gone right in front of our very eyes.😭😭😭😭😭😭

The damage was more than external, and he went through surgery without anesthetics or painkillers. The droids had to scrape away all the dead and dying tissue for months. During his transition into the Darth Vader we know and fear, he came to the realization that everything that happened to him was his fault and he owned it vowing revenge on Darth Sidious in whatever way he could. However, during the OT, Vader knew he couldn't beat Sidious and was okay with being replaced by his Son, at least that way Vader would have post-mortem revenge due to The Rule of Two. Only Two there should be. One Master. One Apprentice. One to embody the power. The other, to crave it.
How'd u know those details?
@@FloBro31 there are canon books of star wars related to the old sith lords who created the rule of two and a book on the rule of two. All these details are given in the book. Alonggwith that the book version of Revenge of the Sith also tells you how vader felt during his surgery
@@FloBro31 I read the Novelization of the movie. I'd Highly recommend it to anyone interested in The Birth of Darth Vader. Also, the cross section of Episode 3 was a picture book that explains everything, you can find those pics easily enough on Google and Bing Images. When you look at them, keep in mind that Vader was conscious throughout the whole operation. Spoiler Alert: Vader has a synthetic lung that's literally just a scuba tank.
I thought Anakin accepted serving Sidious as his punishment for all the bad he did instead of taking vengeance on him.
@@thesigmamale1720 Half true, yes. Vader did, indeed, serve Sidious as his punishment. However, the other half is that Vader didn't have any choice, he wanted revenge, and he was a Rule of Two Sith with little to no hope of continuing the line, himself. He tried to plant seeds of decent, but they were all found and destroyed. Only until Vader found his Son did he accept one of two outcomes.
1.) Train him in secret and prop Luke up as the new Emperor.
2.) Die by Luke's hand, trained by Sidious, and Luke kills Palpatine to become The Sith Master and Emperor. A sort of posthumous revenge, either way, Vader won.
I always love the people who mention Obi-Wan calling Anakin his 'brother' on the first watch-through. Cuz, in my opinion, that is how he unknowingly failed Anakin. Anakin needed a father, but what he had was a brother/friend. Though that bond isn't to be understated, losing all your parental figures at 9 will mess you up. You can't fully blame Obi-Wan though since he was so young too. Anyways, props to the people who mention that.
YES PREACH
Obi-Wan is the older brother who had to step up after their dad died. That’s literally their story
@@Marcieishereandqueer And at the end of the day, that can only do so much.
@@waylongames69 wasn’t the whole point that he wasn’t allowed to see her for a long while?
Well the thing is Anakin did have a father figure... it was Palpatine. I mean Palpy also technically created him but that's another story
I’m 21 year old man and this scene still makes me tear. My two favourite characters fighting to the death and the emotion is just something else.
did you know?... 21 year old men are allowed to cry 🎉
Owen Lars about Obi Wan: “I don’t think he exists anymore, he died about the same time as your father…”
Spoil alerts :
Can consider the fact that Obi suffered as much as Anakin did and never turned to the dark side just a sec :
- Qui Gon, the one who raised him
- Satine, his forbiden love
- The whole Jedi order, dedicatement of his life
- Anakin, the brother he put so much high hopes in until the end while seeing younglings being killed
- Padme, great friend and devoted to instore peace
I can't help but thinking of that one knight arround Arthur table which devoted this whole life the quest of Graal and chivalry code
@@grimsbaldruk4014 Maybe Obi-wan's character was inspired by that knight🤔

The saddest thing about the Obi Won and Anakin relationship is that Anakin was desperate for the love and respect of a father figure, but he couldn't see that Obi Won loved him like a brother
That is exactly what made him do vulnerable to Palpatine's manipulations. He needed a father figure. Especially after the death of his mother.

@@sike3180 really?? I've heard absolute bashing of Episodes I-III for years (I watched it when it came out in theathers). Maybe people appreciate it a lot more now, and that's a great thing
@@gadget00 u right, it was when the movie just released. For the last 10 years, I hear more positive comments about this chapter than others
@@gadget00 the prequels aged like good wine
It’s arguably the best Star Wars film out of all of them. The most important things happen in this movie. It’s a monumental achievement that is unprecedented. Say what you want about old George Lucas abandoning his work to Disney but god damn he knew how to write a perfect movie saga
“How does he live after that”
It’s actually sad to think about, cause when obi wan cut off his legs and arm, they were cauterized. So he wouldn’t bleed out, also his burns weren’t bad enough to kill him quickly either. Even the surgery as painful as it was, wouldn’t kill him. He received the most painful wounds but they weren’t fatal.
Also his hatred fueled the dark side within him, and gave him strength.
What’s worse. In the surgery they had to not use anesthetics as that could have jeopardized his midichlorians which was the only way he was still alive. He felt every single cut and saw blade in his surgery .
I mean realistically he'd be dead but in star wars with the tech and the force of course he was gonna a live.
@@cngotham4111 He wouldn't have made it through the ride to Coruscant in his condition.
@@jalenellis3594 Pain and Anger, those are two big things that dark siders draw on for power, that's the only thing that kept him alive.
The Emperor purposeful made his suit with defects to keep him uncomfortable and in pain so it would further fuel him and make him stronger as Vader.
When you watch the Clone Wars, you kind of understand why Anakin turned to the dark side. Every person he ever loved or trusted either left him or betrayed him.
That was already clear in episode 2.
@@thomashumphrey48 Good on you, same in my life. These people "who do bad things because bad things happened to them", don't speak for us. They were going to do bad things anyway, because the main reason they did stuff was because of them. The things "that made them evil" didn't make them that way, they were things that wouldn't make other people do bad stuff but make them do bad stuff, because they have a hard on for using justifications to omit them from responsibility.
@@thebigbop5866 People are different and will take things different ways. That's why some people will laugh some things off while others deeply internalize them and feel terrible.

@@Andy-ly2tz I'm scholared in understanding human behaviour and well versed through personal trial and error of what these cretins actually are like. You'd be surprised how influential the "sympathy for the devil" mentality really travels. Surprised isn't the right word, more like astonished x 10,000.
Some people really do just try and make the best of what they have and the environments they're in make some things truly unavoidable, but the violent people, they will find a way to be violent in an empty house. They are addicted to it, at which point when I would say something like this that old "sympathy for the devil" stuff kicks in, and all of the possible reasons they can reason stuff become convenient truths to grasp to. But the truth is they have bought into their addiction and they have no interest in changing anything until they realise they haven't done as much self work on who they are as they did with the addiction.
The world is jubilant at the news of Johnny Depp being liberated from Amber Heard. There are millions of Amber Heard's both male and female who are known to their victims as completely evil bullshitters absolutely milking in people's willingness to turn a blind eye, but they don't have his millions of dollars to go after their Amber Heard. Nothing has changed, except that if you have a shit load of money you have a chance at standing up for yourself through an arbitration system.
It's easy to all pile in on her, we're all at a distance, and other people are doing the fighting.
The biggest human drug in history is violence, and it has a legendary level of excuses for it.
how did obi wan betray him?
It's interesting how when kenobi said to Anakin/Vader that he "loved him". When you take a step back, Anakin was so wrapped up with trying not Lose Padme cause he loved her so much. Yet couldn't grasp that he was losing others he loved like Kenobi who became a brother to him. So ended up losing many people who he loved and they loved him.
God this scene is so powerful. The emotional intensity between these two. Obi-wan not wanting to fight let alone kill Anakin but realizing how really fallen and dark he has become after succumbing to the dark side. One of the most intense scenes of all the Star Wars movies!!
people give revenge of the sith, and the prequels in general alot of shit, but i really love them, especially RotS bc of how well made the Obi-Wan VS Anakin scene is
They didn't even use stunt doubles. Most of the actual saber combat is actually Ewan and Hayden going at each other full speed
Still the best live action lightsaber battle to me.
@Connor O'Brien the only scene in the fight thats bod was the random spinning scene in the table room, where they weren't even attempting to hit them.
ROTS is actually very well respected. At least now it is. And deservedly so. The emotion was top notch.. the action and the lightsaber fights were top notch.. the acting was great... It was easily top 3 out of the entire Star Wars trilogy. For me it was the best one. But I'm sure some others like 4, 5 or 6 better
@@cpob2013 That's one of my favorite things about this movie. The fact that these two really went at it ahead this green screen and mastered the fight chorography.
This scene is one of many reasons why I love Revenge of the Sith, and feel it needs more love. This scene still packs a punch.
The prequel trilogy gets a lot of hate but they are actually pretty good, better than Disney’s dumpster fire they call the sequel trilogy.
@@hawk66100 damn right.
It's a good overall movie but it still suffers from George Lucas's bad screen writing ability when he doesn't have the help he had on the original trilogy.
If you are talking about the script, dialogue, pacing, and how well each character is written, the movie has a lot of flaws.
Dude, this movie has a 92% approval rating on Google, and Epis 1 and 2 do not differ much. Far more people liked the prequels than what the haters would want you to believe
This scene left me traumatized. Anakin going from the innocent slave boy to the burning demon filled with hate. I watched as Anakin was torn away from us both physically and spiritually in front of our very eyes. This makes this without a doubt, the saddest scene in all of Star Wars.
That scene when Obi Wan and Anakin are talking on the steps before they see each other on mustafar is powerful. Obi wan in the light and Anakin in the shade and as Obi leaves he says “Goodbye old friend” and that truly was the last time he’d ever talk to “Anakin”
Damn dude... i knew about the symbolism of that scene, but the way you described it above really hit me hard after watching this, wow. So friggin sad. : (
Well, the last time until they're both force ghosts
May the force be with u
Especially sad because Anakin is apologizing for being too impatient and Obi-Wan is praising him. Its sad when you realize they parted as they were closer than ever.
Fun, but actually sad fact: If you look closely to Anakin’s face after Obi-Wan says ”I loved you”, he actually regrets what he has done and wants to beg for forgiveness. Just before he bursts into flames😭😭😭
Not fun. Comments are never fun, but that once really isn’t
Maybe his Sith eyes just barely dissipated in that moment, but I actually doubt that he genuinely wanted to ask for forgiveness in that moment. Yeah, the only thing Anakin truly wants in life is validation and love from the people around him, and that "you were my brother, I loved you" would sound like a good argument for him to turn, but with how much the Sith corrupted him already, and after that whole fight... AND after having screamed "I HATE YOU" at him... I'd find it a bit strong that he'd be that quick to ask forgiveness 😅
@@potitishogun2961997 true, but there’s multiple emotions behind it
@@potitishogun2961997 there is a deleted scene where Anakin does ask Obi Wan to help him. Obi Wan then responds that he can, but he won't. That's the moment Anakin's eyes burn yellow and he screams "I hate you!"
So you're right, he wasn't about to beg for forgiveness. In a way, in that deleted scene, he had already tried.
@@pyxl666 Hm... I'm lowkey glad that scene was deleted, cuz it's way out of character for Obi to ignore a plea for help, even from his biggest enemy...
1:21 - That’s the problem. Anakin needed a father. He needed Qui-Gon. Though Obi-Wan loved him, he was more a brother.
underrated comment
Obi-Wan was like a young 18 year old father to a little boy. Mistakes were inevitably gonna be made. He did tye best he could.
Hayden Christensen was absolutely phenomenal in this scene. Both of them were. You could feel his agony. I cry like an infant every time I see this. You just ache for Anakin. The emperor was s cunning warrior.
if the prequels had competent dialogue, they could’ve been masterpieces. Hayden and Ewan play perfectly off each other.
Seeing the heartfelt reactions from these girls was very inspiring and wholesome. Finding the beauty and emotion in works of fiction is part of the human experience. I think that their emotional responses to such a tragic scene tells me that they have sensitive and compassionate souls, which reflects well on their character.
True but at this point I just went to go see this just to get it over with. People were laughing. The dialogue is SO bad!
@@theavocado6061 Same here. To me, it didn't feel much different than going to my day job.

I thought I was the only one
So ends the tragedy of Anakin Skywaler the Jedi, so begins the rise of Darth Vader, who would dominate Ankin's destiny and consume him for the next 20 years until his son, Luke, redeemed him.

After seeing Obi-wan show, I never took it into consideration, just how traumatic this is for Obi-Wan, a child he raised and trained for years, burning right in front of him, a man who once a child, he had to fight, missing limbs, in pain right in front of him. Truly sad.
Yeah he had major PTSD have him nightmares
idk after all Anakin turned to darkside mostly because of obi wan now think about it obi wan didn't have enough qualifications to be a master he just killed the Darth maul? And then council gave him title right away he didn't take any exam to be a master like others throughout the clone wars and prequels we always saw that obi wan never trusted him plus obi wan was so unqualified to be master that even palpatine didn't bother to eliminate him because he was never an obstacle finally we see in a new hope by the time Luke saw the duel between vader and obi wan , obi wan realized that moment and he unpurposely let it go and was killed by Vader so that Luke could feel the anger and hate towards Vader I believe obi wan had always been a selfish arrogant guy just like other council members
@@Mandyjoonez6 of course obi wan wasn't perfect but you're actually wrong about much that you said about obi wan if one thing he was never was selfish that's just not true at all man
@@Mandyjoonez6 what does that have to do with his trauma?
@@Mandyjoonez6
Obi wan was not prepared but he did the best he could, Obi wan always trusted Anakin, that's why he was incredulous when he saw the things he had done in the Jedi Temple, Obi-wan also hid that he knew about Padme and Anakin's relationship, because he knew that this made Anakin very happy, Obi wan already in episode IV believed that Anakin was irredeemable, after all the things he had seen him do, from killing children to suffocating his pregnant wife. Obi wan thought that everything that was once good about Anakin had disappeared and that this empty shell full of hatred and anger that remained of him should disappear for the good of the Galaxy, to prevent him from spilling the blood of more innocents, Luke then had to finish him off, that's why Obi-wan trained him, but his sacrifice was not intended to create anger towards Anakin within Luke, but simply to die so that Luke and the others escape, since Obi wan knew that Luke wouldn't leave as long as he was alive, and escaping Anakin's wrath without a fight was impossible at that point.
Obi wan had many flaws, but being selfish was not one of them, the guy spent almost two decades on a desert and inhospitable planet living badly in order to make sure that the son of the man who betrayed him and ruined his life was safe.
For years I was mocked because I cried over this scene after it got turned into a meme. It’s so reassuring to see that it made others as emotional as it made me.

It's interesting that everyone only thinks Anakin's legs were cut off. They never notice his left arm was cut off also.
For me. I noticed that his left arm was cut off when I first watch the movie

I’m pretty sure one of the girls mentioned ‘he has only one limb’ or something along the lines of that
Anakin's fear of losing his wife leaded to his anger of the Jedi which leaded to his hate for Obi-Wan which leaded to his suffering on Moustufer
Which led to the death of said wife
And all that led to the fall of the republic. Love.
Just like Yoda said
Mustafar
bro said moustufer 😭😭
Love this scene and everyone is giving Hayden his deserved credit on the delivery of the "I HATE YOU!" Line, but coming back I've realized Ewan does an OUTSTANDING job at showing the resentment in his actions he truely believed Anakin was still the savior. You see him come to the realization and fallback on their own personal relationship. Such a heartbreaking scene for cinematography and both actors deserve full marks for their performances.
To this day, Vader’s screams as he catches on fire are just terrifying and excruciating to hear. I almost had to look away in 2005, and 17 years later, it’s just as painful to watch.
My sons didn't know that's how Vader wore the suit he did they watched this scene and they went "That was scary i never knew that's how he got into the suit"
My youngest couldn't watch it fully until recently
Watching this makes you realize just how actually powerful the prequels are. They got their share of hate back in the day but when new people see scenes like this with fresh eyes they get the huge torrent of emotions this narrative climax delivers.
This is by far and away the best emotional acting in all the prequels though and it's basically all because of Ewan. The prequels were not like this overall
@@VPSantiago yup, time for your senna there old timer

I think a big aspect of Anakins fall and him and Obi-Wans relationship that is not really touched on is that Anakin had viewed Obi-wan as a father but Obi-Wan had viewed Anakin as a brother.
Qui Gon was the father he needed.
I think the fact that Obi Wan saw Anakin as a brother as in an equal shows how much Obi Wan really loved Anakin cause he never saw himself as better than anakin but as his equal, which is the greatest admiration that a pupil can get from his master.
@@luisz222 True.. but Anakin needed a father.. which in a way he got from Palpatine and Palps exploited that need.

It hits even more when you've looked at the Clone Wars, because in the Clone Wars you see what Anikan and Obi wan went through together
This movie did a great job of showing how Anakin becomes Vader both physically and mentally and both actors did a phenomenal job making the audience feel the pain in that scene "in my opinion"
The fakt that vader kicked ass of all the jedi later is crazy , imagine what if vader never got burned and cut of what if he won but kenobi survived
Well he has mechanical body so his mobility was nerfed to core but his mechanical arm can overpower that of human's. He lost mobility but was replaced with super strength and of course, he spam his force choke more frequently than Anakin.

From "Revenge of the Sith" novelization, by Matthew Stover:
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:
The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.
The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew at your flesh.
You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.
You don’t even have lungs anymore.
Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.
Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?
And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain.
You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you.
Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous.
Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat.
Padme? Are you here? Are you all right?
I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your anger, you killed her.
This burns hotter than the lava had.
No…no, it is not possible!
You love her. You have always loved her. You could never will her death.
Never.
But you remember…
You remember all of it.
You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth…
And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.
That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.
You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…
It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith -
Because now yourself is all you will ever have.
And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were. You are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow.
In the end, you do not even want to.
In the end, the shadow is all you have left.
Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself-
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever…
Honestly one of my favorite books.
Fun fact, for some reason it came out like a month before the movie. I happened to find it on the shelf at a store as a kid and got it. I obsessively read the whole thing in a day. It honestly scared me how quickly Palpatine turned things and how complete his victory was.
One of the greatest star wars movie novelizations
@@ZombiesOnYourLawn66 Agreed. I'll go one step further and say of the hundreds of novels I've read spanning several genres, that's in my Top 5.

I remember being 10 years old in the theater watching this. I know the prequels aren't everyone's bag, but this was the most heartbreaking thing in the world to see at 10. It felt like I was losing a brother along with Obi Wan.
I remember being 9 or 10 in theater and this scene fucking crushed me.
I was 14 when I saw this in theatres and I felt no sympathy for him. I wanted to initially, but I remembered what he did to the younglings and brought me back to the realization that all the burns symbolized all the destruction, hatred and murders he committed for a selfish desire.
@@kgunitkeese17 I get that, but he was corrupted and not himself anymore. His lust for power and obsession of saving Padme made him go virtually insane.
God are you not wrong at all. It crushed my whole family too dude! I was 9 too when this came out too.
I was 28... and yes I was crushed too.
As an older fan of Star Wars, I took SHEER care to avoid every spoiler way back then, when ROTS first released back in theaters. People often sung praises about it, so that made me even more excited. Once I watched this on DVD, and heard Anakin scream, "I HATE YOU!" it broke my heart... yet once Obi-Wan said that he loved him, I cried like a bitch. ;A;
Hayden’s acting in this scene is one of the few things that you could call „Absolut Perfection“
Still crying whenever I see this scene…❤
I remember my father took me to see this when it came out in theaters. Probably still my favorite moviegoing experience in my life
don't worry ladies, we all felt this pain.
I was 10-11 when I saw this in theaters. Was hard to watch for me. Seeing it at 27 is even sadder. One of the best movies ever made.
I love how if people acknowledge the high ground meme it goes from laughter, to shock, then pain.
My dad was a star wars fan and took us to the theatres for all 3 of the prequels. My brothers and I were bawling our eyes out and he was just silent the whole way home. People can criticize the prequels and its fair but this is one of the most impactful events in cinema
Every time I watch this scene it still feels like it's the first time. It always hurts.
"You were my brother Anakin. I loved you." :(
I was lucky enough to see this in theaters when it came out, man. I was in tears when I left the theater. It was ALWAYS amazing.
Same altho I was too young to appreciate this
I was 9 years old in tears and my life changed forever after seeing this that’s how groundbreaking movies were in the early 2000s crazy how things changed
One of my All-Time favorite theater experiences this fight was sensational on the big screen. They show the OG trilogy and the Prequels at our theater here on the IMAX screen every year for Star Wars celebration 2 full days of Star Wars! Absolutely amazing! If a local theater does it close to where u live I highly recommend it especially if you have a Warren Theater.
I think it's in the RotS novel where Obi-Wan knows it would be merciful to just finish Vader off but at that point he wasn't feeling merciful.
I always wondered about that (why Obi-Wan left Vader alive, I mean). I'd always assumed it was because Obi-Wan's emotions were clouding his judgment and that caused him to mistakenly believe Vader would die there, or because he believed Anakin was still in there somewhere, and couldn't bear to hurt him any more than he already had.
@@Tantalus010 it’s also fault of the jedi code…. the whole “no striking an unarmed man” thing
@@wandered_rogue22 he still had one arm tho
i thought he didnt finish off vader because he assumed (with no Palpatine intervention) that the burns would kill him in a few minutes anyway. Shock from losing limbs. Heat exhaustion. Physical exhaustion. Dehydration. Severe burns. Shock from burns. Hypovolemia from burns. For a human being....they'd like die in a few minutes.
I assumed Obi thought like I did:
"he's dead in a few minutes anyway, better to let him slip into shock, lose consciousness and die than to have his last sight be me walking over to kill him with my lightsabre. Also, I dont want to kill him. "
I didnt think mercy or the jedi code had anything to do with it. I assumed it was plain human emotion that made him walk away.
In the novel "dark lord" its literally the weeks after rots, Vader is revealed to the galaxy in news reports of the imperial subjugation of kashyyk. Obi wan is in a cantina and overhears it. He's just in shock and overcome with guilt that he let him live like that.
2 things that never get old :
1) memes and jokes about the younglings
2) the younglings
“I loved you” is the most heart crushing line in the entire movie series.
Bruv I can watch this like 100 times in row and the tears still comes everytime.. "you were my brother anakin"
It's crazy to think that this movie was made almost 20 years ago. It's also one of the best examples of a tragedy, the other being the story of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings franchise.
Disney could never show this type of emotion
@@Tanknuggets217 I wouldn't be too surprised. Sure, there were some dark moments, but nothing too crazy, especially if they wanted to keep a PG or GA rating.
Seeing heartbroken people watching Anakin's misfortune has made me feel different from how I originally saw this scene, especially the first girl, seeing her so affected and sad by this powerful scene, moves me. Within the story, Anakin is the character who has suffered the most of all.
God dammit, I've seen this a hundred times and I've always cried watching it, that "I hate you" to "I loved you" hits hard
To see their reaction is how we all felt. But also to think that when most jedi lost limbs or eye sight they lost their connection to the force and to see Vader have no limbs left but still be such a powerhouse in the force shows how powerful he really is. And to know if he wasn't mutilated he would be the most powerful force user in the Galaxy is incredible
Most brutal, sad, heartbreaking movie scene ever... rest in peace, anakin skywalker.
Honestly I always get too caught up in the epic-ness of the I HATE YOU scene, that I forget to acknowledge the emotional importance of Obi-Wan's "i loved you". The pain both were feeling, and the disconnect that Palpatine festered between them is shown perfectly by this small exchange of words.
Watching Anakin burning like that for Obi-Wan, is like one of us seeing a loved one descend into Hell while we move on to a better place when we die.
I mean George Lucas did create Mustafar because he thought that's what hell might look like
Damn, I didn’t expect to tear up again for this scene. It’s been a while since I saw this movie. The reactions of everyone really got to me. That pain was transmitted so well by Ewan.
I've clearly lost my mind when the second reactor said "he has 1 limb left" I started laughing, Star Wars is my favorite movie but that was just funny as all get out 😂
Yeah, and it was a prosthetic arm as well so in a way he had no limbs left...
Really heartbreaking that “I love you” is the last thing his mother, Padme and Obi Wan all said to him before he became Darth Vader.
Love Revenge of the Sith. My favorite of the prequels.
I'm an OG Star Wars fan. I was 2 years old when A New Hope dropped, and SW has been in my life for many great years. So, I was already aware of what was coming, but this scene absolutely broke my heart the first time I saw it. I remember this collective gasp in the theater when Anakin lost his legs, but even a louder gasp when he burst into flames. Despite this being the moment when Anakin emotionally and mentally succumbed to the dark side, my thoughts were with Obi-Wan and how this completely changed both his life and his status as a person.
His self-exile to Tattooine was probably the only way he knew how to get any kind of peace after seeing his pupil become the most sinister Sith in existence. I agree, he should've have killed him, but Obi-Wan simply couldn't bring himself to do it. The years he spent alone with these memories was probably punishment enough.
EVERYONE remembers this scene in the cinema..... audience was quiet. shocked with mouth open. some were quietly sobbing. most have tears in their eyes.... (T.T)
Watching a new generation watch this scene makes me believe that I was too young to appreciate the gravity and significance of this scene when I first saw it back when I was 11.
It's nice to see people really giving Star Wars a chance. After years of being bullied for liking it. "A small price for salvation" - thanos
Prequels* I mean I born in 1998 and for a long time I not only grew up with those 3 movies but with 2003 Clone wars
When I was a kid when obi wan said I loved you man it had me crying because you can hear the pain in his voice
No one realizes how truly sad the story that Star Wars tells is until they watch the whole series
Tru by the time you finish episode 9 you’re in tears (arguably for the wrong reasons but hey)
Exactly and order 66 is one of the most diabolical plans I've ever seen. Truly a terribly sad story
