He fell to the Dark Side trying to save a loved one, and he came back to the Light for exact same reason.

Why do I always watch revenge of the Sith hoping Anakin doesn’t turn to the dark side, it’s depressing

"He was the greatest pilot in the galaxy." "A cunning warrior." "And a good friend...."

"I am a Jedi, like my father before me." - Luke Skywalker. He was so proud to be a Jedi like his father.

The real "Rise Of Skywalker"

And still to this day anakin/Vader is the character everyone is interested in.

He is in my opinion the most well written villain in cinema history, the 2 actors that worked together to create a terrifying and intimidating man who fears nothing, but also shows a father, a broken man who wants to save his son from destruction, the deep voice of James demands fear while in very crucial moments being sympathetic, and the tall and strong figure of David gave the same performance and when you put those two things together it's an amazing combination. "It is too late for me son" is one of my favorite quotes from him

The cut you did of Luke & Anakin both using the force to pull their sabers to them, igniting them, and holding them the same way gave me chills. This was awesome I loved it

When luke said “let me save you” and Vader answered “you already have” made me emotional ngl

*He fulfilled his destiny. He destroyed the remaining Sith, including himself, and brought balance to the force.*

Anakin is the most beautifully, deep and complex character in all of star wars. 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.

When he asks "is Padme alright, where is she?" I'm definitely not crying

Child: Fear Padawan: Anger Jedi Knight: Hatred Sith Lord: Suffering

When Luke saying “im not afraid” but yoda goes “you will be” gave me the chills!

"You were my brother Anakin" "I loved you" still break me

The first 6 episodes are a masterpiece, I don't care what anyone says. The Story of Star Wars is very well written. A story that is able to make you feel something has done its job perfectly and this has done exactly that.

What kills me the most about his tragic story, is how he never did anything for himself. He was motivated by the love for his family. It’s excruciating knowing his demise.

“I have failed you, Anakin, I have failed you” That one always cuts deep

When I watch this, I remember how good Star Wars used to be. While I think the execution of the prequels was not the best, I love the story and the characters. There is so much emotion in this video, I get chills thr entire time when I watch it. Truly, Anakin Skywalker is an amazing character. It's a true shame what disney has done.

In the very end, he fulfilled the prophecy. He brought balance to The Force and redeemed himself. Truly an epic character

A scared son An Angry aprentice A hatefull jedi knight A sad sith lord A loving father The tragic story of Anakin Skywalker

I just realised the whole "I had a dream I was a Jedi" was a force premonition, mind blown

Yoda saying “you will be” as luke says he is not afraid, with the silence around and vader’s rebreather after yoda’s words is too chilling for me to bare.

The most romantic, sad and depressing story behind any villain, and Vader is by far the best villain of all time

Dam Yoda has Those flashbacks like he served in the vietnam war

The sad ironic truth is that if he didn't try to save Padme she would've lived.

I love the part near the end with Shmi, Obi-Wan and Padme all saying his name, like they're calling him back to the light. It's like he's already on the edge of turning good again, and seeing his son dying and in so much pain is the final straw.

"Have you ever heard the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, The Chosen One?"

I am truly the most popular star wars character

One of my favorite lines from Vader: “Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.” Just the way he says it is badass

What hurts me most with Obi Wan is the last time he saw Anakin as Anakin was when he was telling him how proud he was of him. The next time he sees him, all he can see is pure hatred and evil within his soul. Must have been heartbreaking.

Love this! Brought tears to my eyes. The story of Anakin Skywalker is such a tragedy. One of the few villains that I truly feel sorry for.

"I've seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi Knight. To the best of us...." - Ahsoka Tano

“I am a Jedi... like my father before me...”

You can see his tragedy span out over the movies, he went from loving and caring kid to heartless and ruthless leader that shows no mercy, glad to see he had some good left in him before he died.

The most brilliant montage I have ever witnessed.

That line, "I'll not leave you here I've got to save you!" "You already have, Luke" Makes me tear up everytime.

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destory a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force." Darth Vader will never fail to give me goosebumps.

Vader is probably the biggest villain ever in movie history, in only 6 movies, he is defined as THE perfect villain.

"Is he not the destroyer of the sith?" He destroyed the Sith, just not the way the Jedi's thought.

That line “Where is Padme.... Is she safe... Is she alright?” Gets me everytime

I truly think Hayden Christensen did an amazing job in ROTS as Anakin. He was the perfect chosen one. So many likes in just one week........ Its so good to know that more people like Hayden. Thanks guys.

I’ve always interpreted Anakins chosen one prophecy as EXACTLY what happened He did bring balance to the force, the sith were all but gone And the jedi ruled politics and battlefields alike He fulfilled his destiny, and then made choices for himself, and saved his son

“So love has blinded you” It’s so crazy to think how that line from padme sounded so innocent and just a little joke at first but then you realize how love really blinded anaking lol. Star Wars really is a masterpiece when it comes to the story telling bro💯.

Darth Vader is one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.

"Just for once...let me...look on you with my own eyes..." I'm not crying...YOU'RE crying!

I love when villains aren’t justified for their actions but are still relatable and right in a sense but their view is still clouded cause of their actions. But even they’re not excused, they show clues that the most vile and arrogant and despicable people can change, that they can chamfe

The fact that darth Vader never shows any rage or hatred in his voice makes it even better when he lets it out, you know he’s angry and rage full, you know that calm robotic voice is a thinly veil over his well of rage and hate, darth Vader is that little voice in the back of your head that keeps you in check, makes you fearful of the fact that the strongest man in the galaxy is fueled on rage, and he isn’t on your side.

That was a roller coaster of emotion. Anakin Skywalker is one of the most tragic characters ever written. A young slave boy, a Jedi Knight, Darth Vader, his descent only keeping him enslaved to a master, until Luke finally sets him free.

The story arc of Anakin Skywalker always makes me tear up. He only wanted to save the love of his life and fell victim to the dark side.

The chosen one to bring order to the force. Long live Darth Vader

Anakin Skywalker just wanted family and friends by his side.

The first 3 minutes of this should of been the trailer for revenge of the sith

Video: "You were the chosen on!" Ad: *Want to play raid shadow legends?*

"I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you.." This is the line where you know you are about to watch the most peak fighting scene in all of fiction, and will go through a rollercoaster of emotions, and mainly start tearing up.

That gave me goosebumps. I appreciated the clean transitions, and how when using quotes, you didn't show the scenes they were in. That way you could tell exactly what the characters were thinking. This was awesome.

“The devil was once an angel” George Lucas is a genius Edit: thanks for all the likes and comments Damn

"I am a jedi" "The force will be with you" "Like my father before me" "Always" 🖤

The greatest character in cinema history. He is the greatest hero/villain/hero ever.

In the end he finally saved someone he truly loved

“I just don’t want to become a problem” -Anakin

I like how you included the non-canon duel remake of the original Star wars movie between Obi-Wan and Vader.

So many can relate to Darth Vader that's why Darth vader and Anakin Skywalker will always be remembered in the Star wars community

23 years in light side and 23 years as an asshole in the darkside … he def brought balance to the Force

The greatest character in movie history, period.

FBI AGENT: I see you crying through your camera. It's OK, I'm crying too.

"fear of loss is a path to the dark side" I felt that

What a masterpiece! Formidable collection of scenes. And the soundtrack is just perfect... Thank you!

Video: "like my fath-" Ad: want a burrito? Me: God damnit no I don't.

The Skywalker Tragedy is by far one of the greatest story's to ever be written. Some try to overcome it but fall short. For it has made its own niche in the world of fiction and simply can't be overcome.

This is the best Darth Vader edit I've seen . Thank you for portraying him in the best possible way .

I love how much you focus on his fall, a lot of videos just show the opera scene or a couple others but you went into depth about his turn and its the most interesting part of his character for me. Great video thank you.

i love how fans on the internet can make better edits than an over-paid director can make sequals

The prequels made the original trilogy better.

6:41 something crazy and deep always happens with this exact view from a Star Destroyer. Even Ahsoka feeling Anakin's fall to the dark side from this very view. Admiral Versio realising his loss - in battle and in family, etc.

No greater story for any one character in the history of cinema

this is a true masterpiece.

“Impressive most impressive” - Darth Vader

I love how this video captures the true pain of everything that happened. It really is The tragedy and Rise of the chosen one Anakin Skywalker

I loved how you used ‘the force is with me and I’m one with the force’ one of my favourite lines in any Star Wars film!

Oh my god when Anakin said "It's all Obi-Wan's fault" and it showed Palpatine smiling that shit gave me instant chills. The satisfaction of his plan all working all played out in that one smile

Such a great edit. For years, Lucas stated that Episodes 1-6 were the entire saga, that 'it begins and ends with Anakin'. But nobody would accept this. It turns out Lucas was 100% right. He must feel as redeemed as Anakin (and regretful that he sold the property).

When movies were NOT WOKE, epic stories were told...

Man I've never watched Star Wars and I still cried at the end of this.

I always cry tears when you see Anakin Skywalker as a Force Ghost at the end of Episode 6. Star Wars is not an action movie, its a tragedy.

Wow... I'm lost for words. This was beyond incredible! One of the best Anakin/Vader tributes I've seen!!!

"And then you are lost!" That line hits me...

Anakin's Story is by far the best written story of all time for ME.

"So love has blinded you?" Even though its a meme at this point it still hits hard knowing how true this statement is

The Skywalker saga is truly a masterpiece

Wow. I'm simply out of the words. Touching. Especially the scene where Anakin is burning and next one where Luke is freezing. Just wow.

That was an emotional rollercoaster.

“you were the chosen one” me: 😢 - AD INTERRUPTS ME: for f*** sake im having a moment here.

Why am I crying? I must’ve gotten some sand in my eye. I don’t like sand. It’s all coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere!

The man wasn’t evil, but he truly lost everything. His mother, Padme, the order, his limbs and potential, he was simply broken.

I keep finding myself back here, and everytime I end a mess by the end of the video. You did an amazing job here, it's hard for me to put into words how much of an incredible job you did weaving Anakins story together in 8 minutes. I guess my red, tear stained face could do the talking for me. The end, it always gets me. It's so heartbreaking but one of the best endings for a character ever. "You already have" "I am a Jedi, like my father before me" He suffered through so much, all the anger, the pain, the unbearable weight of his actions, but he still overcame it. There's never a reason to give up hope, never. This saga is something I don't think I'll ever get to experience in anything else, it's too special to me. Thank you for making such a beautiful overlook of his story, I'm sure I'll find myself back here eventually. The force will be with you, always.❤

Padmé's last words: *"There's still good in him."* Anakin's last words: *"You were right."* It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Brilliant, wonderfully done!

The tradgedy of Darth Vader is such a cautionary tale as well. Very deep message about letting go and accepting what you can't control. I've learned a lot from this story/chatacter personally.

This is probably the one of the 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 Star Wars edits I’ve seen.
