DECOYMALCOLM.COM My Poem: Oh Dark Vader Standing with a weapon you don’t need. Oh Dark Vader. The Force that would accompany all else is like a test to you. A test you willingly endure. Dare one to cut you down. Your mask…The breathing sound. The darkness is you “looking down”.…. A reputation preceded by the cold as the battlefields seem void of sound hearing the footsteps of your entrance. Walking slowly, there is no rush as once you arrive it is too late…Oh show me your saddened face. A face to which once brought all whom would behold it - peace of hope…Snatching it away… Crowded in view of the many Garrisons at your command…Although Alone though you stand… End My Poem: Oh Dark Vader
the Jedi had basically failed Anakin and his mother that day. he was too old to become a Jedi in the first place but he is the chosen one so they have no choice and trained. if Qui-gon Jinn hasn't died then none of this would have happened.
@@ADDISON6368 yea....that's my mistake but Anakin wasn't supposed to become a Jedi. I was about like what 5 when revenge of the sith came out. I was confused why everybody was being murdered during the Order 66
@@VoiceOfTheEmperor padme did not die at peace but maybe she was restored in the balance of the force some where down the line at the end of the saga. If you were to argue that i wouldn't objectify.
When I was a child, Star Wars was just cool lightsabers and badass starship fights for me. Now as a grown-up, I appreciate what a beautiful and tragic story the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker is.
@@joshwilliams6517 Except it's a story someone like obi-wan or Yoda should be telling, I can't see Luke referring to him in that manner. Where as Yoda and obi-wan referred to Vader as a separate entity to Anakin
@@plague6174 Well were seeing him again in the Obi-wan series Hayden Christianson is already confirmed to be playing him. Apparently there will be order 66 flashback scenes which will be awesome.
Miguel Ayala oof. Big oof. Read the lore my guy. It goes way more in depth there are far more characters that have a more twisted life than Vader did. My opinion though.
@@divingdays I know, but to me Vader is up there with the greatest characters in history. He's the victim, not the bad guy. We can learn about Vader, about why he turned evil for what he thought was right only to be led to lies. When someone is weak, by that i mean those persons who are desperate to save the ones they love, they will do anything to protect them, like Itachi Uchiha, turned evil for the right cause, he turned to road B for what he thought it was best for the village. Vader wanted to save padme no matter what, Palpatine lied to him and since Anakin felt small and not really wanted on the jedi council, he wanted to be known as a strong jedi, everything around him was falling apart.
When we all first saw Vader, we saw him as the ultimate evil, who kills without distinction and mistreats his subordinates purely for the purpose of being evil. Then Return of the Jedi and the prequels came out, and we saw him for who he really is: A lonely, broken man who's lost everything he held dear.
Goes to show have life can be cruel sometimes and at times we have all felt related to anakin He cared so dear for someone until it is gone and we become a darth Vader type a broken man or half of the person we were lost all hope and become so distanced from reality the only thing we harm is ourselves Great poetic stuff from Lucas himself
the worst part: he lost everything because of himself. That's gotta suck right? I mean if it was because of someone else, at least you have that drive of vengeance, but if you can't blame anyone but yourself, what are you living for.
Dooku; A talented jedi, renowned for his lightsaber skills and skepticism towards the Jedi doctrine. Eventually falling to the dark side in the hopes of it being the power needed to make a true change. Grievous; A once proud warrior, deceived and mutilated, retrofitted into a cyborg killing machine, trained to hunt down the jedi with little to no remorse. Plagued with the constant suffering and shame being entombed in an inferior body. Maul; A tragic pawn, turned savage and vile through years of untold suffering and pain. Betrayed by his planet, his master and his vengeance. Yet at the end of it all, the rage never ceased. His very soul rotted to the core with nothing but hatred, for his master, his rival and himself. Then there's Vader. He's the culmination of all three of these men. A depressing existence, prisoner to his master, his body, and his mind.
Lol ngl it does sounded like all three of them Count Dooku: master swordsman + Geneal Grivious: bloodthirsty warrior + Darth Maul: self-hatred and thirst for revenge and redemption = Darth Vader.
Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.
As a kid I always wondered “why black out Vader’s eyes?” Then as I got older I thought perhaps it could be to make him look more menacing but really I think he’d rather have his eyes blacked out so his enemies can’t see the pain in them, though I’m sure they can sense it.
@@ericklecorbeau8341 I don't think the punisher has to live in a painful life support system almost all the time Or has no limbs Or doesn't have a burned body And doesn't have to deal with his master's bullshit
Guts from berserk. That mans story is the most fucked up shit I've read/watched. Darker than game of thrones. Born in a puddle of mud and blood underneath his mothers hanging corpse, and it only gets worse from there.
The thing about Vader’s relationship to Padme, was that she was the last person that he’d ever had a non slave/owner relationship with. First he was a slave to Watto. Then Obi-wan was his master, and later, Palpatine was his Emperor. In the last days of Anakin Skywalker, only Padme saw him not as a slave, not as a master, but as who he was.
obi wan was his brother in slavery. It was the Jedi order. Obi wan looked after him. Cared for him. He also knew about his relationship with padme but he let it happen even though it is against the jedi code.
@@lukechung1150 Obi wan took him in even when he was grieving qui gon, had no idea how to raise a kid and tried his best. Anakin's betrayal hurt him far more than it hurt anakin.
It was hinted in one of the books that during naboos attempt to sanction Jedi and move away from the empire Vader and the 501st was sent to interfere however during the siege of the capital Vader felt a strong pull at the crypts leading him to his wife's grave. While there he secretly morn and attempted to cut ties but wasnt able to thus causing him to leave still cursed with his past. It was also hinted it wasn't just padme he sensed but the lingering force presence of his children thus when he encountered Luke he felt a connection similar to that of padme. This music reminds me so much of that story and it saddens me that both Disney is destroying such a beautiful saga and that I can't recall which book that I read this from but regardless it's always with me like the force of the original trilogy not the fake that we got now
If ur watching on phone low brightness (the dark side) it looks like Vader is looking at the Empire’s attack But if you go to full brightness (the light side) you see he’s looking at Padme.
Holy shit been watching this at night so my brightness was at the lowest point so when saw the photo I thought he was looking at the attack I didnt even realise padme was there until I saw this comment. Then I maximized the brightness then I saw it. Brilliant comment thank you.
“When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.” - Madara Uchiha I think this quote applies to Vader very well. Both of these character were the embodiment of pure hatred, yet this hatred was born out of pure love. So was Obito Uchiha.
I watched a video that talked about how Vader’s unyielding hatred for everything around him was born from Anakin’s unlimited capacity for love, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Uchiha clan and the careful balance between unlimited love and unyielding hatred that they had to walk for their entire existence.
“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 only 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 your self 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 don't even want to. 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.” -Revenge of the Sith novelization, Matthew Stover
The RotS novel is quite brilliant. It describes perfectly all the emotions that run through Anakin. Why and how he fell. And this scene, when he wakes up as Vader....
"The bombs fell on the palace in naboo as the empire started there assault, but this was an odd assault. Few troops landed, only a few walkers and fighters, taking out our Anti-air blasters. My fingers trembled as the city rumbled from the wake. As a guard that watched over our queens tomb, I looked at the smoke and out came walking a man in black. My heart felt as if it stop beating and Fear took over me as the second most powerful being within the empire came walking toward the tomb. Darth vader. The butcher of the rebellion,The iron fist of the empire, and the jedi executioner. I raise my weapon ready to defend the queens final resting place, but to my surprise he stood over me as he stopped in front. He was not looking at me, but the tomb. He pulled out his lightsaber but didnt activate it. just pushed me aside rather than killing me. He walks close to our queens final resting place and stopped mid way as if respecting the dead queens space. He stood there for about 3 minutes and reached out to touch the face of the queen as if he was saying goodbye. He turns around and walks back, but before turning to me. He looked at me and said only a few words. Those words puzzled me to this day and was spared. The words he told me was, 'guard her well'. After that, the walkers and the fighters retreated as if nothing happened. All that remains was the fires from the AA blasters and the sound of the rain. Many guards and citizens say it was a fearful day. But to me...it was a rather sad day. And I just dont know why." -Naboo tomb guard
gearfox7 nigga I know this is made up but FUCK imagine seeing something like this in a movie god damn Disney needs this shit if they make a solo earth Vader film like fuck sake this right here tugged at my heart
Vader stood there at the entrance of the tomb, all he could do was watch and admire the craftsmen for their work, such a lovely resting place for a once great queen. Just as he was prepared to walk away he heard something. A whisper echoed from the tomb, a voice, her voice. It called to him, it begged for him to let go, to turn from the path he was on. All he had to do was let go and they would be together again. But he couldn't, as much as he wanted to, his anger would not allow him to die. The voice faded leaving him alone once more but, before departing he whispers something no Sith Lord had ever said before, "I'm sorry, I will always love you." He turned and walked away from the tomb giving a nod to the two Naboo soldiers who had been tasked with guarding the final resting place of the beloved queen during the bombardment. He said nothing to them but they understood, do what he failed to do, protect her. Vader and his battalion returned to the battle, slaughtering all who stood in their way, even the royal family was not safe from the once proud jedi. All of this as a sick test of loyalty to the Emperor, kill the place that had once given Vader so much joy. The fires raged on as the cities and towns were left to cinders, sounds of screaming, of blasters, and the occasional swish of a lightsaber filled the air and yet no bombardment ever took place there, no blaster bolt ever touched the tomb. Vader wanted to keep that once small patch of land alive and beautiful, the way she was in his mind.
I wish it would have a different color?̊̈ to it or a different approach than what we’ve seen before. Like the joker movie was totally different from anything that ever came out before.
"Careful when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side" - Yoda The loss of his mother was the beginning His apprentice leaving the Jedi Order didn't make things better His best friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi left him for dead after defeating him And the lost of his wife and love, Padmé was the final tipping point With those breaths of him after the mask was complete, he was no longer Anakin Skywalker He was destroyed and consumed by his hate and anger...giving birth and the rise...of Darth Vader
@@Hellraiser988 It was more because they had decent foresight, and could feel where training him could lead to (which it did). Ironically, they made the same mistake Anakin did with strong foresight, and actually ensured that it would all come true by trying too hard to avoid it. Qui-Gon however had the strongest foresight, and trusted the process for the macro outcome.
@@Vincent.Wilson The prequel version of Jedi Order(and Anakin of course) truly lived up to this wisdom "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." As well "Fear lead to anger, anger lead to hated, and hated......lead to suffering." Ironically Yoda fear of Anakin future is *EXACTLY* what started the rise of Darth Vader..........
“A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.” Obi Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker
Darth Vader mentioned several times that he killed Anakin and is no longer that man. But I think he intentionally held onto to himself to use his pain, hate, anger and regrets to fuel his power of the dark side. If Anakin truly was dead, then he would have never saved Luke.
Indeed. Decoymalcolm.com - that is where the true story is. Dark Vader Do I know you? As if it is the sand that is what carries me out to sea. All you can see is me the Decoy of Everything!
They should totally do make a "Vader: A Star Wars Story" movie, where he hunts down surviving jedi, him in his medical chambers, what he does in his free time, visiting Padme's grave, with flashbacks/dreams about the past, and the what ifs?. Basically bring the Vader comics to life. Hayden Christensen comes back as Anakin and we see a flashback scene of him killing the sand people on tatooine and the attack on the jedi temple. We never really fully saw what happened in those scenes.
The Chosen One The one sold into slavery just to be traded as a slave amongst other factions. The one whose Jedi training far surpassed those of his classmates who cast him out of their social network. The one that was denied the rank of Jedi master. The one that was told a forsaken lie by the deceiver. The one who fell to the darkside that murdered and destroyed everything in his path hoping to save his wife The one who lost his limbs that limited his true power of the force encumbered by his mechanics. The one who lost everything to rule alongside the deceiver over a mighty empire. The one who lost those he loved: his mother, his wife, his children, his master, his padawan, and his friends all for the forsaken lie told by the deceiver to save the one he loved the most. The one who hated himself more than he hated anyone or any material thing because he believed he was not strong enough to save her. The one that was pulled from the trench of the darkside back to the light by his son. The one who saved his son from certain death by the deceiver. The one who cast the deceiver back down to hell where he belonged. The one that finally realized that his family was never truly gone. The one that was finally set free soon to be reunited with those that he loved The one who faced his demons and brought balance to the force as has long been foretold.
@@aekambeerbains3966 Returned is a bit misleading, since it is heavily implied that the palpatine in the original trilogy is actually a clone himself. The one we see in the "Damned Trilogy" as I call it, is the real palpatine from the events of ROTS. Which is honestly a believable story, given the star destroyers were developed at the start of the imperial era following the empire' creation. So it would be a design he knew about, if not that then palpatine's network of spies was literally MASSIVE... so he could be kept up to date the entire time whilst enacting other objectives.
@Deimonk I believe Yoda Obi won lost way more people on their path to become a Jedi and being a Jedi. The way of the Jedi is a Tragic life just as the same as the sith. You sacrifice or lose something for power either way. Anakin experienced too much tragedy in a short time period and probably didn't have the support needed to keep his anxiety and power hungry traits at bay
Sad when you think back all he wanted was to save the woman he loved but later found out he was the one who killed her. He lost his brother. His brother fought and caused him great pain. He lost everything and only had a abusive master left. Never knew he has a son or daughter. And never got to see them grow up and never even knew who they were truly a sad depressing life for such a badass character you can’t help but feel pity for him yet be amazed at how all the pain all that suffering of being kept alive after kanobi nearly killed him after he killed his wife and lost everything. He still lived and became extremely powerful do to that pain.
Rest in peace David. You brought life to the best movie character in history. I will forever be grateful for what those movies means to me. Thank you! The force will be with you, always!
I’ve written a little concept for this picture so I hope you guys enjoy. It kind of all flooded out as I got overwhelmed by the music so it might be a bit of a mess but here we go (it’s not meant to be canon by the way haha): “It was a cold, cold night. The rain was lashing down by the gallons and the thunder was roaring as if God himself was bellowing at Lucifer. I, as usual, was patrolling the royal graveyard. It’s kind of ironic how I walk amongst the dead to make a living. Anyway, I digress. It was only me that night. We were running short on workers as it seemed too depressing for most. I get that honestly. It gets me down sometimes as well. I thought this would just be another quiet, mediocre night, with only the passed as company, but tonight was different. I decided to make my way to Queen Amidala’s grave as it was at the centre of the graveyard and I could navigate my way better that way. You’d think I’d know my way around but I still don’t. I’ve been working here for three months and still, I can lose myself in this maze some call a mortuary. When I arrived there I gazed upon her floral grave and I shed a tear. I don’t normally cry over the deceased but Queen Amidala was different. She wasn’t like the other corrupt politicians. She wanted what was best for her people and now she is dead. Not only I mourn her, the entire galaxy mourns her. Something broke when she left and it wasn’t just politics. It was life. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Footsteps full of conviction and power, this person was not trying to sneak in or be silent. There was a chill in the air, a chill no winter could ever bring, coincidentally as the steps got louder. I readied my pistol to fire at any filthy body snatchers that may be here, but then the footsteps stopped. I turned around and there he was. The butcherer and traitor of the Jedi order, the Emperor’s right hand, Darth Vader. I stood there in absolute horror, my blaster pointed at him. He reached out his hand and ushered me out of the way. I had no idea what was going on. Why hadn’t I been slaughtered where I stood? He then placed that hand upon the Queen’s forehead and then I heard a faint whimper or something of the sort, but then came the scream. A blood curdling scream filled with agony, hurt, betrayal but most of all, deep deep regret. I may not be a Jedi but I swear to you I felt a pain not even a lightsaber could guarantee, a freezing sense of sadness not even Hoth could give and a darkness not even the Emperor could deliver. He was trembling at the knees, I thought he would fall over. He put his face to hers and whispered “I am so sorry, my love and will be for all eternity. I should have listened. I should have listened to Obi Wan, tried to contact Qui Gon, but most importantly I should have listened to you. Forgive me, my sweet wife, he corrupted me to do his bidding and I was the blindest of us all. The Jedi exiled me and I was the only one who saw the truth. I thought I could save you, but I was the one who killed you. I swear I will love you until my disgusting heart stops beating. I love you, Padmé”. I will never forget those words as long as I live. They’re burned into me. I never imagined such a vile machine and executioner could have such a soul. He then looked at me, his so called ‘eyes’ piercing mine and he uttered: “Everyone in this galaxy, good or evil, will know my pain. They will know my loss and they will share it. They will feel it. They will know what it means to hurt, they will know what it means to be stripped of all they have and they will know what it means to SUFFER!” I suddenly feel a tightening grip around my throat and my legs start to leave the ground. The feeling is unmatched, It was like I was choking on my own saliva. My body thrusts forward into his hand and he grips like concrete. He whispers in my ear “Protect her with your life, or I will take it.” I struggle to but I nod frantically, begging for the suffocation to stop. He drops me to the floor. “She’s all I have” he stutters to me. He then finally wanders away, down the marble steps and into the mist of misery. I had never seen a man so lost in my entire life. It seems we both had been lost in this maze, even if mine was physical and his was metaphorical. This will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel I’m the only one who ever saw him that desperate and sad, and I’ll keep it to myself for the rest of my life. I didn’t see a murderer, I saw a man. A broken one, but a man. A man who wanted to repent every sin, even if it meant going through hell for it, not that he hadn’t been through that already. I’m also grateful for the mercy he showed me that day. Even if it was just so the Queen could be protected. I still don’t understand why it was her he cried over. They must have been close, perhaps too close in the end. I guess I’ll never know.” (Royal Graveyard Guard on Naboo just after the Jedi Purge.) If you made it this far, I sincerely thank you for reading all of this. I know it must have taken a while. I hope this brightened up your day in these strange times we are facing with covid 19, even if if the subject of the writing isn’t very happy haha. Stay safe everyone and thank you again so much for reading, I hope you all have an amazing day ❤️
Re-watching the prequels, I honestly think Hayden gets an unnecessary amount of hate. He wasn't perfect but I though he did a better job than he gets credit for.
Hayden was fine. He's a good actor. It's the director and the writing team, or lack thereof, which make the films into complete disasters. The original trilogy was saved in the edit. George was a tool even then, and gets too much credit for pretty much everything in Star Wars. He didn't have people second-guessing him nearly as much during the prequel trilogy.
I've been rewatching too and his emotions staring at the sunset when Mace Windu was going to arrest Palatine are really striking. You can starkly see his internal struggle and pain.
@@prestonorrick4317 Well Disney owns Alien and predator (two Rated R franchises) and they own marvel in which has two dark superheros such as The Punisher , Deadpool and In a way Venom.

"For over a thousand Generations, the Jedi Knights were the Guardians of peace and Justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire...."
Today is a very sad day my friends...David Prowse has died. "I find your lack of faith..disturbing.." (David Prowse = Darth Vader actor for original trilogy)
Darth Vader, although a fictional character, taught me that no matter how far you've fallen into darkness there still remains pieces of previous self, that when bound together once more can pave the way to your road to redemption. To me, personally, Darth Vader is the greatest character of all time.
There’s something that always made sense to me as I thought about it. Remember in RotS, Anakin tells Sidious that he can’t live without Padmé. Now fast forward to her operation when she’s giving birth to Luke and Leia. At the same time, Anakin was also being operated on, and being transformed into the Vader we know from the Original Trilogy. We all know how the rest of the scene goes, but once Anakin realizes that Padmé is dead, that final “No” that he cries out, is the last word spoken by Anakin Skywalker, before he dies and Darth Vader finally takes over. Anakin couldn’t live without Padmé, and when Padmé died, Anakin died along with her.
Breath is also an important symbol of life, and what happens when he lives without Padme? He cannot breathe in a natural way. Hell, even in Attack of the Clones, he said to her that even the thought of being without her makes him not able to breathe.
When she dies and it cuts to the scene of them putting the mask on Vader, plug in headphones and turn the volume up. You can hear his heartbeat and the moment she dies it stops, then the mask is sealed and he starts breathing.
1:01 “What I remember of the Empire is, is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the clone wars, the 501st legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip, we all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps. But no one sad a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when we marched into the jedi temple. Not a word.”
*Padmé Amidala:* _Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow._ *Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader:* _Because of Obi-Wan?_ *Padmé Amidala:* _Because of what you've done--what you plan to do. Stop! Stop now, come back! I love you._ -Padmé's last words to Anakin
If only Obi Wan had stayed on the goddamn ship!!! Maybe. Just maybe she could have brought him back to the light. He was broken yes, sick yes, the guilt for what he had done would be unbearable, but he wasn't lost. Not yet. There was still a way back to the light. There was still a reason to go back to the light. Then Obi Wan got impatient and the last thread snapped.
@@mechengr1731 Yeah lmao anakin just yeetus deletus those kids and obi wan's entire family but it's obiwan's fault because he came out of the ship 5 seconds to early yeah ok
@mechengr17 Obi-Wan is the whole reason Anakin fell to the dark side in the first place. Obi-Wan's stubborn and rigid attitude is what drove Anakin there in the first place. Plus Anakin's fate was already decided when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were fighting Darth Maul. That fight would determine the fate of Anakin, the Republic and the Jedi. Sure, Obi-Wan won the fight by cutting Maul in half. But that is where the term "Won the battle, but lost the war" comes into play. The Jedi and the Republic won the battle, but the Sith already won the war because Qui-Gon was the father Anakin needed.
In the end, there were only two people in the entire galaxy who could reach the heart and soul of Lord Vader. One was Padme Amidala, the woman he had loved so much that he would sacrifice everything he had ever known just to keep her safe. The other was his son, the child that the woman he loved had given him, who then saved Vader from himself. Truly one of the most tragic characters in all fiction.
Vader: "Padme, it's me. Anakin. See what I have done for you, come back with me, and we can live as we always wanted," Padme: "Why would I live this place with you? My husband, Anakin Skywalker is dead. You killed him."
@@rileystauffer3232 Idk about his mom. It's a different thing when you lose someone and it's genuinely out of your control. On the other hand he did everything in his power for Padme, and by extension his child. Yet it was himself that stripped away his love, his life, his light. You think you could see the light within yourself after something like that? Luke saved Anakin not only because he was his son, but because he saw the light as well. He seen the light that had given him Padme, his love, and he seen it in Luke, his son.
Not really tragic at all compared to Greek Heroes. At least Vader story ends somewhat on a happy note. I thought Jason and the Argonauts was a great video game only to find out in the real legend after Jason comes home his wife leaves him and he dies miserable and alone. There was this other hero I forget who slays some monster I think the chimera then gets cocky and decides he gonna fly to Olympus and Zeus strikes him down and he falls to his death from Pegasus. One guy accidentally stumbled in on some goddess and gets turned into a deer and killed by his own hunting dogs. Greek stories are literally nothing but a tapestry of misery and misfortune preaching you better know your place.
"Power is dangerous. It corrupts the best and attracts the worst. Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up." Ragnar Lothbrok, but it fits quite well to Darth Vader
Cornelius Martin yes that’s why men who are born into power arnt worthy of it . Captain America lived most of his years as a skinny boy who was bullied, beat , and grew up with no parents beside his best friend Bucky. When Steve got the power in the first avenger he respected it and knew what he could do with it but he is honerable and heroic as the symbol of America, he will always do What’s right. So in this 2019 Memorial Day let’s remember are vets that gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could have families and futures, they gave all that up for us. Remember that. Earn it.
Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars and maybe in cinema history. Born without a father, poor, a slave with no hope for the future, taken from his mother, his mother taken from him, fell into forbidden love, feared loss again, fell to darkness, lost his title and gained a new one, destroyed the order he fought for his whole life, lost his wife, lost his friends, lost his children, lost his body and became trapped in a suit which made him suffer constantly and was the fuel for his hatred, comitted terrible acts, met his son and daughter years later and his heart was again moved and awoken, defeated his wicked master who fooled him and saved his son and was redeemed. Beautiful. No one can tell me there is a better star wars character. Anakin's story is fundamentally about what it means to be human. Anakin's redemption story resonates because it tells us all something we desperately want to believe - that no matter what we've done, it's never too late to turn back. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. It's never too late to stand up, dust yourself off, and turn around. You are never too far gone to change. Vader tells Luke earlier, "It's too late for me, son", yet his last words were "You were right about me. Tell your sister, you were right..." It's only too late to change if you have convinced yourself of that very fact. Personally, as a Christian, I relate Anakin's redemption to the idea that none of us are too far gone to be beyond God's forgiveness. We're all flawed, but we aren't lost if we turn and accept God's pardon through Jesus.
Tuning out the destruction outside, he instead focuses on the tomb before him. A beautiful tomb made of a beautiful stone to reflect the beauty of the life that had so sadly passed away at the time he was beginning a new life. "Was it worth it?" He can hear her say in his memories, or was she saying it to him right now in spirit, perhaps standing beside him looking down at her own tomb. "I only wanted to protect you, everything I did I did for you and our children" For what feels like an eternity he is no longer Darth Vader, no longer the burned and scarred man he had become, but his younger self again. He was Anakin Skywalker once again but only for this moment, only to talk to Padme. "Such a high cost then, Anakin, everything you trained and fought for resulted in a monster and the end of my life. So was it worth it? All the power you have now, an army at your command, was it worth it?" Outside the tomb his army is laying waste to Naboo, people are dying and mercy is not to be found. For every shot fired another life is extinguished. Part of him wishes to reach out and stop the slaughter but another part, an angry part of himself, wanted the slaughter to increase in some hollow attempt to tune out the grief in his heart and the failure he felt at not being able to save Padme. Looking over to her, where she stands as vital and alive as she did so many years before, he can only think of a single response: "No" She fades away into oblivion with sadness in her wake as Anakin sinks back into himself as once again his grief consumes him and Darth Vader returns. Turning from the tomb of his beloved, he walks away back into the slaughter that his actions have brought about. All his deeds laid bare.
@Nicholas Kreber @Nicholas Kreber it was from a star wars lore book, cant remember if it was a comic book, pretty sure it was...apparently this was canon but wasn't shown in the movies...really wish it was, along with his earlier reign as Lord Vader, I think it would have continued to add even more depth to his character...:(
Powerful Sith Lord I could not save her powerful Sith Lord I will not save her cannot save her gods must save her gods you must save her just don’t let go - these words were what Vader was saying as his mask was lowered onto his charred head ripping apart more flesh as it’s needles injected into his blisters and burst from mustafar
"I made a promise... A promise that I would save anyone who needed me.... I can do it now.....I can keep that promise." The sound of the nightmare that covered the world set reality back in and Vader remembered. His love was gone. "But now I never will."
"It's been ten years, and I still remember the smell of her hair, the feel of her favorite dress in my hands, every detail of her face is forever in front of me... but i'm starting to forget the sound of her voice, the smell of Naboo's grass, and feel of dew drops beading off my feet."
Everyone talks about vader but have you thought about maul, he lost everything. Because of sidious. He got his life and humanity back, he got a brother, and lost it all. To sidious. He wasted his life trying to kill Kenobi when it was sidious who took everything from him. But in the end when Kenobi was holding him, he realized that it was sidious that did everything to him, used him and cast him away. Vader got the chance that maul never had, Vader had someone still believed there was good in him, someone wasn't ready to let him go because of the choices he made, Vader had Luke maul had nobody
But didn’t maul want to destroy the empire but couldn’t? He said it in rebels, he knew it was palpatine but he can’t beat him he’s just too powerful for maul.
I really think he had Kenobi tbh. I've only seen the first 2 seasons (as well as Maul's death) and it really seemed as though they had a bond. Like they were timeless enemies but at the same time there was a deeper connection between the both of them. Something you wouldn't see between Vader and Sidius.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma each one of them was callously used and thrown away by Sidious. It is most tragic with Dooku and Vader since they were both good guys initially who wanted to do the right thing but were manipulated by Sidious into betraying their own ideals without even knowing.
I believe it was because there were some odd creative choices with the prequels. I liked them though, and mostly because it shows how and why the Empire got all its power.
It doesn’t. The majority agreed that it was the best ending for the prequels. Reviews were the highest for revenge of the sith and so were the audience scores.
You know at first I thought he was looking out to see what became of the galaxy and lamenting said fact. But then when I realised he was looking inward, somehow that struck so much deeper.
It was the moment when anakin heard he had killed padme that he truly became lord vader. His love for her was the only thing left that made him anakin. Upon her death, so did the last part of anakin die and lord vader took his first breaths. He was truly without love and could only feel anger, regret and sadness. The emperor's plan had been fulfilled as he was now a true agent of the dark side. Two heroes died that moment, as two more were born. Lord vader wanted revenge upon the galaxy as he felt everyone should share in his despair and pain. Revenge was all that drove him for years as he felt incomplete without his angel. It was not until his son luke was prepared to give his life for his father that he once again felt love. Love, the thing that kept anakin going for so long, a feeling vader hadn't experienced in decades, was the only thing able to save him from the shackles of the dark side. His son's love killed vader and anakin was reborn, only to finally rest moments later. Finally he could become one with the force and padme through the self sacrifice of their son. Finally he could be with his angel once again.
There were basically to different versions of Vader when he first fell before Padme died he still had ambition and ideals even if he was doing twisted things to enforce them. When Padme and his children were gone he became a husk filled with nothing but pain, rage, and hatred.
The best villains are written in a way that you feel for them and their struggle. In some twisted way you end up caring for the villain and his or her tortured past because we have all experienced loss to some degree and deal with it in different ways, but there is something so heartbreaking yet powerful about a once good person doing these terrible things. I forgive Vader because I know deep down Anakin is a good person who had terrible things happen to him. Whoever created these 2 photos on this song is a genius. ❤️🦁🙏👍
Star wars is the ultimate form of dramatic irony, no matter what bonds are created, how many happy memories are created, we all know how it ends, we know what's going to happen regardless of how much we want for it to last
DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3 I hate to break your beautiful comment, but if you look really carefully and squint a bit, he’s facing padme. Love your comment regardless mate. 😊
And good skin, being able to sleep, nonstop itching because of his burnt skin, constantly having to hear himself breathing for the rest of his life, not having a father, knowing that he is more Machine than man, and knowing people are only gunna remember him as monster ( you can see in the force awakens ) edit: and obi-wan
So sad when you see him in Phantom Menace as a little boy and despite the happy ending and everything, you just know he's going to lead a life of pain and suffering.
he climbed up the mausoleum steps and reached the peak. the melody of conflict was quiet now, he was left with the sound of rain, even this mournful place was calm. the sith lord gazed down to see the face of his failure immortalized in stone with marble flowers blooming in her granite hair. he fell to his knees. the weight of sorrow and rage heavy on his shoulders, he had promised her so much and yet delivered only death, he had betrayed his order, he had fought with his once friend and teacher, he had delved into that forbidden abyss only to fail a second time and yet, this cascade of anger and grief only fanned the flames of his power and so, he stood. with effort he walked towards the sarcophagus and placed his hand on her cold cheek and pledged to not let this horror be in vain, to secure order in the galaxy by any means. he had made many promises but this one, he will keep and he will cut down any fool that tries to stop him.
“You were the chosen one!” “It was said you would destroy the sith not join them!” “You would bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness!” “You were my brother anakin, I loved you!”
Anakin does bring balance to the force though. There goes from being hundreds of Jedi and few Sith to two Jedi and two Sith. It was Obi-wan and Jinn who thought the prophecy was a good thing when it wasn't.

My Poem: Oh Dark Vader
Standing with a weapon you don’t need. Oh Dark Vader. The Force that would accompany all else is like a test to you. A test you willingly endure. Dare one to cut you down. Your mask…The breathing sound. The darkness is you “looking down”.…. A reputation preceded by the cold as the battlefields seem void of sound hearing the footsteps of your entrance. Walking slowly, there is no rush as once you arrive it is too late…Oh show me your saddened face. A face to which once brought all whom would behold it - peace of hope…Snatching it away… Crowded in view of the many Garrisons at your command…Although Alone though you stand…

I know, but to me Vader is up there with the greatest characters in history. He's the victim, not the bad guy. We can learn about Vader, about why he turned evil for what he thought was right only to be led to lies.
When someone is weak, by that i mean those persons who are desperate to save the ones they love, they will do anything to protect them, like Itachi Uchiha, turned evil for the right cause, he turned to road B for what he thought it was best for the village. Vader wanted to save padme no matter what, Palpatine lied to him and since Anakin felt small and not really wanted on the jedi council, he wanted to be known as a strong jedi, everything around him was falling apart.

When we all first saw Vader, we saw him as the ultimate evil, who kills without distinction and mistreats his subordinates purely for the purpose of being evil.
Then Return of the Jedi and the prequels came out, and we saw him for who he really is: A lonely, broken man who's lost everything he held dear.

He cared so dear for someone until it is gone and we become a darth Vader type a broken man or half of the person we were lost all hope and become so distanced from reality the only thing we harm is ourselves
Great poetic stuff from Lucas himself
the worst part: he lost everything because of himself. That's gotta suck right? I mean if it was because of someone else, at least you have that drive of vengeance, but if you can't blame anyone but yourself, what are you living for.
He still is evil, but because of circumstances beyond his control, and some tragic character flaws
Dooku; A talented jedi, renowned for his lightsaber skills and skepticism towards the Jedi doctrine. Eventually falling to the dark side in the hopes of it being the power needed to make a true change.
Grievous; A once proud warrior, deceived and mutilated, retrofitted into a cyborg killing machine, trained to hunt down the jedi with little to no remorse. Plagued with the constant suffering and shame being entombed in an inferior body.
Maul; A tragic pawn, turned savage and vile through years of untold suffering and pain. Betrayed by his planet, his master and his vengeance. Yet at the end of it all, the rage never ceased. His very soul rotted to the core with nothing but hatred, for his master, his rival and himself.
Then there's Vader. He's the culmination of all three of these men. A depressing existence, prisoner to his master, his body, and his mind.
Wow I never noticed that
This comment needs more attention
Holy fuck well that’s depressing
Lol ngl it does sounded like all three of them

It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do.
Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.
Fucking chills when I read that.
You all deserve oscars
As a kid I always wondered “why black out Vader’s eyes?” Then as I got older I thought perhaps it could be to make him look more menacing but really I think he’d rather have his eyes blacked out so his enemies can’t see the pain in them, though I’m sure they can sense it.
And well he got burned probably he couldn't see very well and needed help
No, its because it looks menacing. The pain in his eyes could even help make his enemies panic, he wouldnt hide his pain by blacking out his eyes.
I prefer the red eyes TBH
His enemies used to feel cold, when Vader was near them, so you could say that you were right.

Then Obi-wan was his master, and later, Palpatine was his Emperor. In the last days of Anakin Skywalker, only Padme saw him not as a slave, not as a master, but as who he was.

He is visiting her in secret like they used to do
doesnt look like a secret lmao I bet he just went there and noone gave a shit beacuse of the chaos
He had no other alternative they would e tried to kill him for just coming near the planet
It was hinted in one of the books that during naboos attempt to sanction Jedi and move away from the empire Vader and the 501st was sent to interfere however during the siege of the capital Vader felt a strong pull at the crypts leading him to his wife's grave. While there he secretly morn and attempted to cut ties but wasnt able to thus causing him to leave still cursed with his past.
It was also hinted it wasn't just padme he sensed but the lingering force presence of his children thus when he encountered Luke he felt a connection similar to that of padme.
This music reminds me so much of that story and it saddens me that both Disney is destroying such a beautiful saga and that I can't recall which book that I read this from but regardless it's always with me like the force of the original trilogy not the fake that we got now

“When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.” - Madara Uchiha
I think this quote applies to Vader very well. Both of these character were the embodiment of pure hatred, yet this hatred was born out of pure love. So was Obito Uchiha.
I watched a video that talked about how Vader’s unyielding hatred for everything around him was born from Anakin’s unlimited capacity for love, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Uchiha clan and the careful balance between unlimited love and unyielding hatred that they had to walk for their entire existence.
“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 only 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 your self 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 don't even want to. 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.”

My fingers trembled as the city rumbled from the wake. As a guard that watched over our queens tomb, I looked at the smoke and out came walking a man in black. My heart felt as if it stop beating and Fear took over me as the second most powerful being within the empire came walking toward the tomb.
Darth vader. The butcher of the rebellion,The iron fist of the empire, and the jedi executioner. I raise my weapon ready to defend the queens final resting place, but to my surprise he stood over me as he stopped in front. He was not looking at me, but the tomb. He pulled out his lightsaber but didnt activate it. just pushed me aside rather than killing me.
He walks close to our queens final resting place and stopped mid way as if respecting the dead queens space. He stood there for about 3 minutes and reached out to touch the face of the queen as if he was saying goodbye. He turns around and walks back, but before turning to me. He looked at me and said only a few words. Those words puzzled me to this day and was spared. The words he told me was, 'guard her well'. After that, the walkers and the fighters retreated as if nothing happened. All that remains was the fires from the AA blasters and the sound of the rain. Many guards and citizens say it was a fearful day. But to me...it was a rather sad day. And I just dont know why."

Vader stood there at the entrance of the tomb, all he could do was watch and admire the craftsmen for their work, such a lovely resting place for a once great queen. Just as he was prepared to walk away he heard something. A whisper echoed from the tomb, a voice, her voice. It called to him, it begged for him to let go, to turn from the path he was on. All he had to do was let go and they would be together again. But he couldn't, as much as he wanted to, his anger would not allow him to die. The voice faded leaving him alone once more but, before departing he whispers something no Sith Lord had ever said before,
"I'm sorry, I will always love you."
He turned and walked away from the tomb giving a nod to the two Naboo soldiers who had been tasked with guarding the final resting place of the beloved queen during the bombardment. He said nothing to them but they understood, do what he failed to do, protect her.
Vader and his battalion returned to the battle, slaughtering all who stood in their way, even the royal family was not safe from the once proud jedi. All of this as a sick test of loyalty to the Emperor, kill the place that had once given Vader so much joy. The fires raged on as the cities and towns were left to cinders, sounds of screaming, of blasters, and the occasional swish of a lightsaber filled the air and yet no bombardment ever took place there, no blaster bolt ever touched the tomb. Vader wanted to keep that once small patch of land alive and beautiful, the way she was in his mind.

Thing is, he didn't become more powerful. His injuries and suit restricted his force abilities.
"Careful when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side" - Yoda
The loss of his mother was the beginning
His apprentice leaving the Jedi Order didn't make things better
His best friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi left him for dead after defeating him
And the lost of his wife and love, Padmé was the final tipping point
With those breaths of him after the mask was complete, he was no longer Anakin Skywalker
He was destroyed and consumed by his hate and anger...giving birth and the rise...of Darth Vader
Most of the Jedi order treated him badly because he was different
Anakin never had an apprentice cuz the council never gave him the rank of master dumbass watch episode 3
@@Hellraiser988 It was more because they had decent foresight, and could feel where training him could lead to (which it did). Ironically, they made the same mistake Anakin did with strong foresight, and actually ensured that it would all come true by trying too hard to avoid it. Qui-Gon however had the strongest foresight, and trusted the process for the macro outcome.
@@Vincent.Wilson
The prequel version of Jedi Order(and Anakin of course) truly lived up to this wisdom
"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."
As well "Fear lead to anger, anger lead to hated, and hated......lead to suffering."
Ironically Yoda fear of Anakin future is *EXACTLY* what started the rise of Darth Vader..........

“A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.” Obi Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker
It’s Anakin Skywalker that was Obi-Wan’s padawan, Darth Vader is when he became the apprentice of Darth Sidious
What he said was true... From a certain point of view.
John Omega have u even seen the first star wars
Matt yes, the reason Obi-Wan said that was to not say Darth Vader was Anakin since his Luke’s father.

This is...advanced depression.
We’re reaching levels of depression that shouldn’t be possible.
He burned an entire planet down just to pay respects to his dead wife! That’s so evil, yet so beautiful to think about!
This suits Darth Vader perfectly. It isn’t imposing, it is depressing. It suits the broken shell of a man Vader is
Master Windu: What is it?
Master Yoda: Pain, suffering... death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain.
Darth Vader mentioned several times that he killed Anakin and is no longer that man. But I think he intentionally held onto to himself to use his pain, hate, anger and regrets to fuel his power of the dark side. If Anakin truly was dead, then he would have never saved Luke.
Indeed. Decoymalcolm.com - that is where the true story is.
Dark Vader Do I know you?
As if it is the sand that is what carries me out to sea. All you can see is me the Decoy of Everything!
Was Anakin the thing that Darth Vader hated the most, because he could never forgive himself if he killed him, nor exist without him?
I think it’s like Anakin come back when he learned that he had a son.
@@eldo7124 And a daughter . . .
Thomas Raahauge Yeah in the VI. But I mean (in the film only not in the comics) Anakin came first in V. In the VI Vador had already started to lose.
Joker got his own movie, vader could EASILY get a similar movie where he's clearly doing bad but the audience is sympathetic
Have you watched 1-6? He is the main character, but I wouldnt complain about another vader focussed movie
There's rumor of a darth vader series in the works
They should totally do make a "Vader: A Star Wars Story" movie, where he hunts down surviving jedi, him in his medical chambers, what he does in his free time, visiting Padme's grave, with flashbacks/dreams about the past, and the what ifs?. Basically bring the Vader comics to life. Hayden Christensen comes back as Anakin and we see a flashback scene of him killing the sand people on tatooine and the attack on the jedi temple. We never really fully saw what happened in those scenes.
Did you miss the prequels or something?
Yes we call that the prequels
Both his actor and character now finally found peace among the stars. You will be forever remembered
RIP Darth Vader

RIP Chosen One
The Chosen One
The one sold into slavery just to be traded as a slave amongst other factions.
The one whose Jedi training far surpassed those of his classmates who cast him out of their social network.
The one that was denied the rank of Jedi master.
The one that was told a forsaken lie by the deceiver.
The one who fell to the darkside that murdered and destroyed everything in his path hoping to save his wife
The one who lost his limbs that limited his true power of the force encumbered by his mechanics.
The one who lost everything to rule alongside the deceiver over a mighty empire.
The one who lost those he loved: his mother, his wife, his children, his master, his padawan, and his friends all for the forsaken lie told by the deceiver to save the one he loved the most.
The one who hated himself more than he hated anyone or any material thing because he believed he was not strong enough to save her.
The one that was pulled from the trench of the darkside back to the light by his son.
The one who saved his son from certain death by the deceiver.
The one who cast the deceiver back down to hell where he belonged.
The one that finally realized that his family was never truly gone.
The one that was finally set free soon to be reunited with those that he loved
The one who faced his demons and brought balance to the force as has long been foretold.
LittleJohnny117 wowwww
This one is awesome. I'm sorry though, you forgot: The one who didn't like sand because it was coarse and rough and irritating and it got everywhere
The on who was the last Jedi, and the last Sith.
And somehow the deceiver returned with no plot. Cheapening the one’s sacrifice.
@@aekambeerbains3966 Returned is a bit misleading, since it is heavily implied that the palpatine in the original trilogy is actually a clone himself. The one we see in the "Damned Trilogy" as I call it, is the real palpatine from the events of ROTS.
Which is honestly a believable story, given the star destroyers were developed at the start of the imperial era following the empire' creation.
So it would be a design he knew about, if not that then palpatine's network of spies was literally MASSIVE... so he could be kept up to date the entire time whilst enacting other objectives.
He lost his mother then his wife. Any man would snap
Duh people
Just like the punisher
He lost Ashoka as well Some even say they had a better connection then obi wan
Deimonk except for the part where he choked his wife and cut his son’s handoff
@Deimonk I believe Yoda Obi won lost way more people on their path to become a Jedi and being a Jedi. The way of the Jedi is a Tragic life just as the same as the sith. You sacrifice or lose something for power either way. Anakin experienced too much tragedy in a short time period and probably didn't have the support needed to keep his anxiety and power hungry traits at bay

I agree the only other character that come even close to Vader in my opinion is arthus from warcraft
Sad when you think back all he wanted was to save the woman he loved but later found out he was the one who killed her. He lost his brother. His brother fought and caused him great pain. He lost everything and only had a abusive master left. Never knew he has a son or daughter. And never got to see them grow up and never even knew who they were truly a sad depressing life for such a badass character you can’t help but feel pity for him yet be amazed at how all the pain all that suffering of being kept alive after kanobi nearly killed him after he killed his wife and lost everything. He still lived and became extremely powerful do to that pain.
Is he really evil though in the beginning he was doing it to save his wife.
Not even Thanos lost as much as Vader.

I’ve written a little concept for this picture so I hope you guys enjoy. It kind of all flooded out as I got overwhelmed by the music so it might be a bit of a mess but here we go (it’s not meant to be canon by the way haha):
“It was a cold, cold night. The rain was lashing down by the gallons and the thunder was roaring as if God himself was bellowing at Lucifer. I, as usual, was patrolling the royal graveyard. It’s kind of ironic how I walk amongst the dead to make a living. Anyway, I digress. It was only me that night. We were running short on workers as it seemed too depressing for most. I get that honestly. It gets me down sometimes as well. I thought this would just be another quiet, mediocre night, with only the passed as company, but tonight was different. I decided to make my way to Queen Amidala’s grave as it was at the centre of the graveyard and I could navigate my way better that way. You’d think I’d know my way around but I still don’t. I’ve been working here for three months and still, I can lose myself in this maze some call a mortuary. When I arrived there I gazed upon her floral grave and I shed a tear. I don’t normally cry over the deceased but Queen Amidala was different. She wasn’t like the other corrupt politicians. She wanted what was best for her people and now she is dead. Not only I mourn her, the entire galaxy mourns her. Something broke when she left and it wasn’t just politics. It was life. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Footsteps full of conviction and power, this person was not trying to sneak in or be silent. There was a chill in the air, a chill no winter could ever bring, coincidentally as the steps got louder. I readied my pistol to fire at any filthy body snatchers that may be here, but then the footsteps stopped. I turned around and there he was. The butcherer and traitor of the Jedi order, the Emperor’s right hand, Darth Vader. I stood there in absolute horror, my blaster pointed at him. He reached out his hand and ushered me out of the way. I had no idea what was going on. Why hadn’t I been slaughtered where I stood? He then placed that hand upon the Queen’s forehead and then I heard a faint whimper or something of the sort, but then came the scream. A blood curdling scream filled with agony, hurt, betrayal but most of all, deep deep regret. I may not be a Jedi but I swear to you I felt a pain not even a lightsaber could guarantee, a freezing sense of sadness not even Hoth could give and a darkness not even the Emperor could deliver. He was trembling at the knees, I thought he would fall over. He put his face to hers and whispered “I am so sorry, my love and will be for all eternity. I should have listened. I should have listened to Obi Wan, tried to contact Qui Gon, but most importantly I should have listened to you. Forgive me, my sweet wife, he corrupted me to do his bidding and I was the blindest of us all. The Jedi exiled me and I was the only one who saw the truth. I thought I could save you, but I was the one who killed you. I swear I will love you until my disgusting heart stops beating. I love you, Padmé”. I will never forget those words as long as I live. They’re burned into me. I never imagined such a vile machine and executioner could have such a soul. He then looked at me, his so called ‘eyes’ piercing mine and he uttered: “Everyone in this galaxy, good or evil, will know my pain. They will know my loss and they will share it. They will feel it. They will know what it means to hurt, they will know what it means to be stripped of all they have and they will know what it means to SUFFER!” I suddenly feel a tightening grip around my throat and my legs start to leave the ground. The feeling is unmatched, It was like I was choking on my own saliva. My body thrusts forward into his hand and he grips like concrete. He whispers in my ear “Protect her with your life, or I will take it.” I struggle to but I nod frantically, begging for the suffocation to stop. He drops me to the floor. “She’s all I have” he stutters to me. He then finally wanders away, down the marble steps and into the mist of misery. I had never seen a man so lost in my entire life. It seems we both had been lost in this maze, even if mine was physical and his was metaphorical. This will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel I’m the only one who ever saw him that desperate and sad, and I’ll keep it to myself for the rest of my life. I didn’t see a murderer, I saw a man. A broken one, but a man. A man who wanted to repent every sin, even if it meant going through hell for it, not that he hadn’t been through that already. I’m also grateful for the mercy he showed me that day. Even if it was just so the Queen could be protected. I still don’t understand why it was her he cried over. They must have been close, perhaps too close in the end. I guess I’ll never know.”

Kylo Ren said the same about Ben Solo.
Re-watching the prequels, I honestly think Hayden gets an unnecessary amount of hate. He wasn't perfect but I though he did a better job than he gets credit for.
Everyone in that film can act, it was george's iffy writing. But still, episode 3 is the greatest star wars film so far.
Hayden was fine. He's a good actor. It's the director and the writing team, or lack thereof, which make the films into complete disasters. The original trilogy was saved in the edit. George was a tool even then, and gets too much credit for pretty much everything in Star Wars. He didn't have people second-guessing him nearly as much during the prequel trilogy.
it's was George Lucas's writing that sucked. One flaw of having one person kind of make the whole script
Honestly, considering the script he was given, Hayden did a fantastic job.
I've been rewatching too and his emotions staring at the sunset when Mace Windu was going to arrest Palatine are really striking. You can starkly see his internal struggle and pain.

Darth Vader, although a fictional character, taught me that no matter how far you've fallen into darkness there still remains pieces of previous self, that when bound together once more can pave the way to your road to redemption. To me, personally, Darth Vader is the greatest character of all time.
Are you the real Slim Shady?
He's basically an expy of Saul/Paul from the New Testament of the Bible.
There’s something that always made sense to me as I thought about it.
Remember in RotS, Anakin tells Sidious that he can’t live without Padmé.
Now fast forward to her operation when she’s giving birth to Luke and Leia. At the same time, Anakin was also being operated on, and being transformed into the Vader we know from the Original Trilogy.
We all know how the rest of the scene goes, but once Anakin realizes that Padmé is dead, that final “No” that he cries out, is the last word spoken by Anakin Skywalker, before he dies and Darth Vader finally takes over.
Anakin couldn’t live without Padmé, and when Padmé died, Anakin died along with her.
Great comment!
But when he saw Luke in pain from the Emperor Anakin resurfaced.
Breath is also an important symbol of life, and what happens when he lives without Padme? He cannot breathe in a natural way. Hell, even in Attack of the Clones, he said to her that even the thought of being without her makes him not able to breathe.
When she dies and it cuts to the scene of them putting the mask on Vader, plug in headphones and turn the volume up. You can hear his heartbeat and the moment she dies it stops, then the mask is sealed and he starts breathing.
Musiclessons19 00 doesn’t he say “help me padme” or something aswell, just before the mask comes down?
1:01
“What I remember of the Empire is, is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the clone wars, the 501st legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip, we all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps. But no one sad a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when we marched into the jedi temple. Not a word.”
*Padmé Amidala:* _Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow._
*Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader:* _Because of Obi-Wan?_
*Padmé Amidala:* _Because of what you've done--what you plan to do. Stop! Stop now, come back! I love you._
-Padmé's last words to Anakin
If only Obi Wan had stayed on the goddamn ship!!! Maybe. Just maybe she could have brought him back to the light.
He was broken yes, sick yes, the guilt for what he had done would be unbearable, but he wasn't lost. Not yet.
There was still a way back to the light. There was still a reason to go back to the light.
Then Obi Wan got impatient and the last thread snapped.
@@mechengr1731 well said
@@mechengr1731 Yeah lmao anakin just yeetus deletus those kids and obi wan's entire family but it's obiwan's fault because he came out of the ship 5 seconds to early yeah ok
@mechengr17 Obi-Wan is the whole reason Anakin fell to the dark side in the first place. Obi-Wan's stubborn and rigid attitude is what drove Anakin there in the first place. Plus Anakin's fate was already decided when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were fighting Darth Maul. That fight would determine the fate of Anakin, the Republic and the Jedi. Sure, Obi-Wan won the fight by cutting Maul in half. But that is where the term "Won the battle, but lost the war" comes into play. The Jedi and the Republic won the battle, but the Sith already won the war because Qui-Gon was the father Anakin needed.
In the end, there were only two people in the entire galaxy who could reach the heart and soul of Lord Vader. One was Padme Amidala, the woman he had loved so much that he would sacrifice everything he had ever known just to keep her safe. The other was his son, the child that the woman he loved had given him, who then saved Vader from himself. Truly one of the most tragic characters in all fiction.
Vader: "Padme, it's me. Anakin. See what I have done for you, come back with me, and we can live as we always wanted,"
Padme: "Why would I live this place with you? My husband, Anakin Skywalker is dead. You killed him."
That comic moment. Damn
You forgot his mom
@@rileystauffer3232 Idk about his mom. It's a different thing when you lose someone and it's genuinely out of your control. On the other hand he did everything in his power for Padme, and by extension his child. Yet it was himself that stripped away his love, his life, his light. You think you could see the light within yourself after something like that? Luke saved Anakin not only because he was his son, but because he saw the light as well. He seen the light that had given him Padme, his love, and he seen it in Luke, his son.
Not really tragic at all compared to Greek Heroes. At least Vader story ends somewhat on a happy note. I thought Jason and the Argonauts was a great video game only to find out in the real legend after Jason comes home his wife leaves him and he dies miserable and alone. There was this other hero I forget who slays some monster I think the chimera then gets cocky and decides he gonna fly to Olympus and Zeus strikes him down and he falls to his death from Pegasus. One guy accidentally stumbled in on some goddess and gets turned into a deer and killed by his own hunting dogs. Greek stories are literally nothing but a tapestry of misery and misfortune preaching you better know your place.

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

Imhotep?
Tuning out the destruction outside, he instead focuses on the tomb before him. A beautiful tomb made of a beautiful stone to reflect the beauty of the life that had so sadly passed away at the time he was beginning a new life.
"Was it worth it?" He can hear her say in his memories, or was she saying it to him right now in spirit, perhaps standing beside him looking down at her own tomb.
"I only wanted to protect you, everything I did I did for you and our children" For what feels like an eternity he is no longer Darth Vader, no longer the burned and scarred man he had become, but his younger self again. He was Anakin Skywalker once again but only for this moment, only to talk to Padme.
"Such a high cost then, Anakin, everything you trained and fought for resulted in a monster and the end of my life. So was it worth it? All the power you have now, an army at your command, was it worth it?" Outside the tomb his army is laying waste to Naboo, people are dying and mercy is not to be found. For every shot fired another life is extinguished.
Part of him wishes to reach out and stop the slaughter but another part, an angry part of himself, wanted the slaughter to increase in some hollow attempt to tune out the grief in his heart and the failure he felt at not being able to save Padme.
Looking over to her, where she stands as vital and alive as she did so many years before, he can only think of a single response:
"No" She fades away into oblivion with sadness in her wake as Anakin sinks back into himself as once again his grief consumes him and Darth Vader returns. Turning from the tomb of his beloved, he walks away back into the slaughter that his actions have brought about. All his deeds laid bare.
That's deep

isnt the beginning called revans sith symphony??
Everyone talks about vader but have you thought about maul, he lost everything. Because of sidious. He got his life and humanity back, he got a brother, and lost it all. To sidious. He wasted his life trying to kill Kenobi when it was sidious who took everything from him. But in the end when Kenobi was holding him, he realized that it was sidious that did everything to him, used him and cast him away.
Vader got the chance that maul never had, Vader had someone still believed there was good in him, someone wasn't ready to let him go because of the choices he made,
Vader had Luke maul had nobody
But didn’t maul want to destroy the empire but couldn’t? He said it in rebels, he knew it was palpatine but he can’t beat him he’s just too powerful for maul.
I really think he had Kenobi tbh. I've only seen the first 2 seasons (as well as Maul's death) and it really seemed as though they had a bond. Like they were timeless enemies but at the same time there was a deeper connection between the both of them. Something you wouldn't see between Vader and Sidius.
Maul, Dooku and Grievous were all there to foreshadow what Vader will be, a tool, a fallen Jedi, a machine.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma each one of them was callously used and thrown away by Sidious. It is most tragic with Dooku and Vader since they were both good guys initially who wanted to do the right thing but were manipulated by Sidious into betraying their own ideals without even knowing.

I believe it was because there were some odd creative choices with the prequels. I liked them though, and mostly because it shows how and why the Empire got all its power.
It doesn’t. The majority agreed that it was the best ending for the prequels. Reviews were the highest for revenge of the sith and so were the audience scores.
I tend to see more praise for ROTS than hate, best movie out of the entire saga for me.
Jim joe Kelly the acting, the story was gold
You know at first I thought he was looking out to see what became of the galaxy and lamenting said fact. But then when I realised he was looking inward, somehow that struck so much deeper.
"Use the force, Harry!"
-Gandalf the Grey
It was the moment when anakin heard he had killed padme that he truly became lord vader. His love for her was the only thing left that made him anakin. Upon her death, so did the last part of anakin die and lord vader took his first breaths. He was truly without love and could only feel anger, regret and sadness. The emperor's plan had been fulfilled as he was now a true agent of the dark side. Two heroes died that moment, as two more were born. Lord vader wanted revenge upon the galaxy as he felt everyone should share in his despair and pain. Revenge was all that drove him for years as he felt incomplete without his angel. It was not until his son luke was prepared to give his life for his father that he once again felt love. Love, the thing that kept anakin going for so long, a feeling vader hadn't experienced in decades, was the only thing able to save him from the shackles of the dark side. His son's love killed vader and anakin was reborn, only to finally rest moments later. Finally he could become one with the force and padme through the self sacrifice of their son. Finally he could be with his angel once again.
Fabio Van Nieuwenhoven thats...thats emotional i might actually record that
There were basically to different versions of Vader when he first fell before Padme died he still had ambition and ideals even if he was doing twisted things to enforce them. When Padme and his children were gone he became a husk filled with nothing but pain, rage, and hatred.
that nearly made me shed a tear, dude please become a writer
Bravo!
*wipes tears*
I'm not crying, I'm just cutting these onions
I made this track for anyone that's interested.
cant find it on your channel
I knew I recognized it
Yeah, I know. It named padme's funeral maybe. Heard it before on your channel. Great work tho
Incredible work
Then why did this guy literally just repost your incredible work? Sometimes yt is unfair
The best villains are written in a way that you feel for them and their struggle. In some twisted way you end up caring for the villain and his or her tortured past because we have all experienced loss to some degree and deal with it in different ways, but there is something so heartbreaking yet powerful about a once good person doing these terrible things. I forgive Vader because I know deep down Anakin is a good person who had terrible things happen to him.
Whoever created these 2 photos on this song is a genius.
❤️🦁🙏👍
Star wars is the ultimate form of dramatic irony, no matter what bonds are created, how many happy memories are created, we all know how it ends, we know what's going to happen regardless of how much we want for it to last
This story has already happened and it's already over, there's nothing that can be done to change it
I like how you can’t really tell which way he is facing. Which occupies his mind more: The Empire, or Padme?
DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3 I hate to break your beautiful comment, but if you look really carefully and squint a bit, he’s facing padme.
Love your comment regardless mate. 😊
Just turn the brightness up
Wow. people with no sense of poetry or anything. It would have been MUCH better if it had been completely blacked out. Unimaginative bastards.
All of this detuction, death, fire, war. And for what? A goal that was lost long ago.
DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3 he’s facing padme.
He lost his mother, his wife, his friends, and his heart😥
....and his limbs
@][ Are you idiot?
And good skin, being able to sleep, nonstop itching because of his burnt skin, constantly having to hear himself breathing for the rest of his life, not having a father, knowing that he is more Machine than man, and knowing people are only gunna remember him as monster ( you can see in the force awakens ) edit: and obi-wan
Obi Wan: Am i a joke to you?
And his hair
So sad when you see him in Phantom Menace as a little boy and despite the happy ending and everything, you just know he's going to lead a life of pain and suffering.
he climbed up the mausoleum steps and reached the peak. the melody of conflict was quiet now, he was left with the sound of rain, even this mournful place was calm. the sith lord gazed down to see the face of his failure immortalized in stone with marble flowers blooming in her granite hair. he fell to his knees. the weight of sorrow and rage heavy on his shoulders, he had promised her so much and yet delivered only death, he had betrayed his order, he had fought with his once friend and teacher, he had delved into that forbidden abyss only to fail a second time and yet, this cascade of anger and grief only fanned the flames of his power and so, he stood. with effort he walked towards the sarcophagus and placed his hand on her cold cheek and pledged to not let this horror be in vain, to secure order in the galaxy by any means. he had made many promises but this one, he will keep and he will cut down any fool that tries to stop him.
1:24 who remembers this song playing as u load into kaskyyyk sea walls in the 2004 battlefront2? I do.
Padme's ruminations soundtrack on jedi temple as you lose the battle.
BF2 made me appreciate star wars as a kid.
Just replayed the campaign a day ago. Though Battlefront 2 wasnt known for its campaign, it still had a great one.
Ah, memories

“You were the chosen one!”
“It was said you would destroy the sith not join them!”
“You would bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness!”
“You were my brother anakin, I loved you!”
@@Obi-1Ken0bi "I hate you!"
Anakin does bring balance to the force though. There goes from being hundreds of Jedi and few Sith to two Jedi and two Sith. It was Obi-wan and Jinn who thought the prophecy was a good thing when it wasn't.
I read this as sand theme, not sad theme

Anakin Skywalker was weak...I destroyed him!
"Anakin is gone. I...am what remains."
RIP David Prowse. Rest now Lord Vader.
