Anakin was… - Raised by a single mother - A child slave - Lived in poverty - Taken to a foreign planet by religious zealots at ten years old - Told he was destined to be the one being out of trillions galaxy wide who would defeat evil And people expected his dialogue to be that of a normal person.

I don’t care what anyone says I love their scenes

“dark curly hair, dreamy eyes” explains why later on Anakin had his hair long and curly and a bit more darker than it was.

2:35 I literally just noticed how when Padme tells Anakin to not grow up too fast, she’s looking down at him - as if to imply he’s still a child. But in a stroke of subtle, cheesy, symbolic genius, Anakin stands up in response, towering over Padme - as if to show her that he is in fact “grown up”.

Y’all might not agree with me but Hayden is a great actor and he did anakin good y’all should blame whoever wrote his scripts

Imagine obi wan's anxiety letting anakin and padme go alone

Hayden played a shy anxious slave teen boy who was picked up from his mother at the age of 10 and had known no father ever, suppressed feelings and attachment anxiety

He’s not creepy. He’s behaving how any early 2000’s lover boy would act. Times have changed. That’s why we’re cringed out by it.

Their romance was the best part of the movie.

Hayden is great. People hate on some of the poetic dialogue in these scripts instead of being grateful. Now we have, "Somehow Palpatine returned."

The costume design, scenarios and cinematography on these three movies are insane

Padme runs towards Anakin ignoring everyone else and hugs him so strong at the end of battle with Dooku...at this point she have been made her choice - to risk everything for him.

I just noticed how good hayden is at staring at ppl creepily like he’s really in love(i want him to look at me like that)

You shoot your shot. *You'll always be that little boy on Tatooine.* OUCH! The fact he kept shooting shots after that was... Most impressive

@9:03 is the one and only time I've heard Anakin laugh. From here on in, it's anger, sadness, and bitterness with small moments of falling in love.

I'm gonna be hated on, but so be it: i think Hayden Christensen did a good job at playing anakin. His dialogue, yes, sounds like that of a 5 year old, but i think that was intentional. Anakin is immature and cocky. He's emotional. In revenge of the sith, he does mature, somewhat, and his ego shrinks a little. George lucas even said that padme was the more mature one of the two. Just a thought I had, and wanted to share

2:43 Anakin gives Padme the lightskin stare 😂

Say what you will about these scenes. In the moments where Hayden's acting is given actually good dialogue its quite beautiful. When he tells Padme his views on love and the Jedi code when they're eating together, its quite poetic, but also shows both the great strength of Anakin, his compassion, whilst also showing his greatest flaw, his unwavering devotion and almost obsession with keeping his loved ones safe. Anakin is a man broken by love, but also saved by it. Which is quite a beautiful story in itself. Its moments like this that make the prequels really shine through its flaws. I think its clear that its Anakin being romantic like this that make Padme fall for him, making his more off-putting lines come across as more romantic than creepy.

16:14- That's Padme's way of saying: "Please come back alive."

18:20 you can hear the Vader theme playing,probably one of the first signs that Anakin is falling down a dark path

“I wanna know who’s trying to kill me?” The foreshadowing is literally right in front of you!

Anakin : You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives. Padme : I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway.

I love how as he’s stroking her side at 6:30 he’s observing her reaction very carefully to his touch & looks up at her face when she turns to him to make sure he hasn’t crossed a boundary

It’s crazy how much Vader looms whenever padme is around

padmes outfits & outfit changes are outrageous

These are the moments Darth Vader would non stop reminisce whenever he had some free time in the bacta tank or meditation chamber

I cant understand how someone like anakin became a sith lord

This was the love story that I carelessly lived through as a teenager, never having any real life prospects in those years. The Padme of my youth never got past the "Please, don't look at me like that." stage with me.

I can’t get over how little Natalie Portman was 🥺 she’s a lil baby

2:38 - 2:55 - I was only 12 when I saw this and knew jack-shit about love or even having a boyfriend. But oh my God, in this scene, I recall going absolutely weak in the knees because of Anakin. Thanks to him and Jack from Titanic, I am now a hopeless romantic. Goddamnit!

Honestly it's not bad... Anakin is supposed to be awkward, it's the only woman he's ever liked and his first time flirting and talking through those feelings, which is hard enough for a normal person, let alone a slave that was raised as a jedi. In fact, he is actually much more socially capable than he realistically should be. ALSO, Star wars, the prequels in particular are written in a strange way, but I think that's also intentional as it is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, not the 21st century

@1:37 anakin talking obi-wan is soooo "moody teen vs older father" lmaoo

People keep hating on the film because of their Romance but according to this video it only last about 20 minutes of this 2 hour and 20 minutes film, 1/7th of the films runtime!

Episode II is probably my favorite of the Star Wars films.

I love Anakin and Padme

When Padme confessed her love to Ani, it was so beautiful to hear her say those words fr❤

the rizz moments are so realistic it hurts, makes me remember the awkward, intense affections (and attachments) I had back in the day their chemistry on screen is so beautiful too they actually nailed it, acting and even the writing, despite what people say

I noticed that anakin doesn't bow to Amidala, like Obi-Wan.

Hear me out, I know it's the geekyest shit ever BUT we are weirded out by their love scenes because we grew up with earthly love experiences. Apparently, this right here is space love

The conversation in the meadow about politics, implications of the Empire to come.

Anakin: Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us. Padme: Anakin, you've grown up. Me: visible confusion

A hero would sacrifice you for the world. A villain would sacrifice the world for you

Christian did an amazing job portraying a troubled Anakin

His lil evil smiles are so cute I love him & I love how padme is like “um no, I want a good boy not bad boy” 😂😂

Their love story will always be iconic and memorable in the Star Wars franchise. Love them both in all three prequels.

Anakin: The closer I get to you, the worser it gets... Padme: Well... then I should ask for a new jedi protector :)

Before he became a Jedi, Anakin starred in an episode of Goosebumps playing a goofball named Zane

Anakin acts exactly how a teenager raised in an all-boys boarding would act around his crush - a very beautiful, intelligent and influential woman.

10:03 😳 Omg, how bad attachment to Padmé Anakin had. It’s horrifying. It’s now very clear, why he became a sith. He clarified that the more he loves her, the more he suffers without her. His fear of losing her made him want to sacrifice everything he ever had to save her from death, but he almost killed her when she refused to follow his dark path to power. I find it weird that Padmé still wanted to be with him after he slaughtered the Tuskens. Anakin became much more emotionally mature in The Clone Wars series, but still you can see that his love for her was rotten to the core. The best part is that there are plenty of people who are just like Anakin, unhealthy attached to the one they love. One should learn, that if you put your trust in you happiness through the (current) love of you life, you will be imprisoned to this attachment. If that person will want to go, you will be destroyed. Anakin pointed out directly that he’s aware of the fear of losing Padmé, which is killing him. And when he lost her, his life was over, he began a new one as Darth Vader, but we all know how it went (he actually got over her relatively quickly in the Canon, embracing his new life by being busy for the Empire all the time). If Anakin learned to let go, he wouldn’t fall to the dark side. Just as anyone, wouldn’t fall to the dark if they learned to let go…

I think Padre enabled Anakin, didn’t hold him accountable. I think the Jedi needed to do some things differently. I think Obi-Wan was too hard on Anakin sometimes. I think Hayden played Anakin perfectly, Anakin was a troubled young man with a huge weight on his shoulders.

22:58- Padme is beautiful even when she's knocked out.

11:25 idk why but anakin looks so like just out of it here. Like what she said about coming back to the real world really got him thinking. Just looks very funny to me for some reason.

9:00 my favourite scene

Seeing this with the rest of star wars while being patient is painfull

Hayden is a legend ❤

PERFECT TIMING

Thank you so much! You even summarized some of the dialogue which became tedious in the movie and left the beautiful scenes. I do wish you'd have left the wedding scene intact, however.

Beauty and the Beast with the lightsabers.

The weirdest part about this is Anakin having all 4 limbs.

I think that with the combined spectacle of space wizard battles, the subtleties of these scenes are really lost on most people. I appreciate them, and how much work is actually put into them. People have complained about walking and talking, but they're clearly set up to be more akin to a play. I'd love to see a live play adaptation of this movie.

23 minutes of anakin applying pressure… padme never stood a chance

That dude had Natalie P look him in the eyes and tell him she truly deeply loves him and proceeds to make out with her . Luckiest guy in the world

OMG YESS THANK YOU

the sad part about their relationship is shes been my dream girl since the same age that anakin was in ep 1...

16:19 the way he’s still holding her in his embrace I can’t keep with this bro ong he was so in love 😭😭 & the way their heads came together like they were a couple who was gonna kisss ❤❤

1:00 there's a Harry Potter vibe in this song (after all, it's the same composer for both films.)

The way he tried to come closer to her & she had to take a scoot back before they made the most epic love scene in television history 😂😂😂

The way everytime he gets her to smile or laugh he smiles back in self victory like “yes I did it again, but she’s also so beautiful 😻” I love anakin he’s so pure for his love for her 😭😭🖤

when people call him a creep, im like... its natalie portman. what else is a virgin supposed to do?

THANK U OMG

Padme reaction to this 17:48-18:18 yeah I'm into this shit.

Nahhh the way everyone literally took a step back 17 to give them two room to flirt 😂😂 dude in the back side right of padme was smiling like them flirting is old news 😂

Pain.

I need them back😞

Fav Star Wars movie

*Anakin:* I've killed them, I've killed them all. And not just the men. But the women and the children too! They're like animals! And I've slaughtered them like animals! *Padme:* to be angry is to be human. 10/10 writing.

Its crystal clear how arrogant, impulsive, brutal and conflicted he was. Its shocking Obi Wan didnt stop it or the other Council members. He betrayed everyone he knew and doomed the galaxy for 20 years for this chick.

The way padme smiles at him, it really ain’t hard to understand how she got to be pregnant 😂😂 plus anakin was younger & active so he’s gonna chase after her if she teases him & he thinks she beautiful like an angel ❤

Anakin felt he was undermined his whole life. Always being seen as less than; finally received trust and authority. It was under the wrong hands via manipulation and deceit. Thats why he trusted Palpatine more. Once he tapped to his anger against those who looked down apon him, he enhanced his anger against the force with power and aggression as Lord Vader.

thanks bro

He looked so confused after she broke the kiss 😂😂😂 like “bitch then why’d you let me kiss you ?!” 😭😭

5:35 Well, he's whipped.

Love❤️

Anakin wasn't actually driven to go on a rampage and eventually to the first taste of the Dark Side by the death of his mother. It was because of Amidala constantly teasing him with a series of "Shag me now" outfits all the while reminding him they cannot do it over and over.

16:10 it overshadows darth vader

Very useful tbh :)

I like to discuss a point mace said protecting senator is first priority so obi wan manipulated anakin to come with him to take on dooku so if anything it would be obi wan who should have been expelled from jedi order.

whoever did this compilation is probably the same person that made Scott’s Tots and decided it was worthy of TV

Am I crazy or at 3:36 he’s just openly looking at her wit heart eyes 😂😂❤ he’s too cute poor anakin he never had a chance of not falling in love with ms amidala 😭😭🫠

"Why" he said lmfao

8:20 Anakin literally being a facist

09:30 was the ultimate "panty dropper."

Anakin quit panicking 😛

Watching this and hoping that the dialogue has a chance of being good in certain moments

Rose Byrne just casually standing at Padme's side.

1:58 pfft you wish , you dont have the high ground

The way his eyes are always on her 😭

There was the sexual chemistry in three generation of Skywalker family: - Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman - Rosario Dawson and Jude Law - Ewan McGregor and Cate Blanchett - Mena Massoud and Natasha Liu Bordizzo - Ryan Gosling and Mary Elizabeth Winstead - Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher - Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley - John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran - Oscar Isaac and Keri Russell P.S. If they put Kazuda Xiono and Torra Doza in Sequel Trilogy, they would have been BooBoo Stewart and Ella Purnell

I love Anakin but come on you guys, he was kinda of a creep 😂😂😂

why do I like this video?
