When you realize Anakin never went a day in his life without calling someone master. A sad tale.

This is Star Wars. It's about love and hate and - ultimately family. It's the story of Anakin Skywalker.

"Have you ever heard the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, the Brave and Noble?" - a whisper in the force.

Imagine being a slave your entire life and then finally meeting someone who makes you happy. You do everything within your very powerful body to protect that person only to be the cause of their death. And so you scour the galaxy trying to numb the pain only to realize you are your own pain and that you have become a prisoner in your own twisted mind, forever alone.

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

Anakin has been 23 years on the Light Side and 23 years at the dark side.. He lost his Mom He lost his Wife He lost his Friends He lost his Master He was Indeed the chosen one, all his life was hell for him.

"I will be the most powerful Jedi ever" It's so sad, because he became one of the most powerful Sith to ever exist.

“Show me grandfather, the power of the darkness.” Anakin remains silent.

The editing is strong in this one.

"I feel the good in you...the conflict...."

"There is no conflict" he'd already turned to the light at this point if he knew it or not. As soon as he found out there was a part of padme(Luke) still in the world he knew that was his ways to make amends.

Darth Vader is the best movie villain. All of the others are too one-dimensional. "Oh, they are bad. End of story." But Vader has always been torn between the two.

the prequels are underrated

How can anyone hate on Hayden? He did SUCH an amazing job portraying this broken and lost character.

Truly, "the Tragedy of Darth Vader", as Lucas had intended the six films to be.

"I wanna be the first to see them all..." In a way he did his legacy went pass the stars and to our hearts...

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

"Let her go..." "I can't live without her." Damn that is a beautiful edit that I never imagined. Truly his fall came because he couldn't let her go.

Luke: "I feel the conflict in you" Vader: "there is no conflict" In that moment Vader turned to the light whether if he knew it or not, and this is why then he let hismself be beaten by Luke, maybe unconsciously.

The story of Anakin Skywalker is one of hope, anxiety, anger, pain, sadness, and balance.

I’m sorry, did you freaking put the Mustafar Duel on top of the Hallway Slaughter? I can’t handle this epicness

“And he was a good friend” “Is anikan alright?” “I can’t live without her” “You were the chosen one” The character who lost it all and was blamed the villain. You made him more than human in this video. You gave Darth Vader a soul. And not a bad one but not a good one either. You perfectly portrayed this character and the tie between the good and evil he always felt. Great job

Not crying, it's just some sand in my eyes.

People dont like the prequels, but people dont realise that the prequels are the most important part of the star wars series. Let me explain. The sequals are hated partially because of the importance of the prequals. You see, in the prequals, anakin is shown to be THE chosen one, the one that will bring balance to the force. In the originals he did just that, clear the jedis, and kill the emporer, and sith lord, known as vader. And sacrificing himself so hes not wanted by jedi, which would cause mor conflict. Without the prequals you would only know half of the story. Do it. Go through the originals and try to block out all knolledge from the prequals. Then rewatch the prequals, watch carefully, than watch the originals. It does indeed make the story better. Because its complete, and shows the what and why. But the sequals completely erases all that anakin did. Theres another war, palpatine is back, and the jedis are wiped. It completely deems the prequals pointless, so of course sequal lovers would dislike the prequals. Each of the star wars trilogies have 2/3 things a movie like these needs. Acting, effects, and story. Prequals have good effects, a good story, but bad acting Originals have a good story, good acting, but low budget effects (cause they’re old) Sequals have decent acting, huge ammounts of effects, but the story is god awful. I like to say the sequals are fan made films, mainly because they’re NOT MADE BY GEORGE LUCAS! Therefore not canon.

Very interesting comments. "Anakin was the greatest jedi of all time." "Vader was the best movie villain ever." Truly powerful this one is. Chosen by both sides of the force he was. Balance he brought to all of us.

How beautifully tragic indeed both Anakin and Padme wanted to know if one another were alright as they both passed on to the next phase of their existence 😭😭😭

*Anakin Skywalker is, and always will be, the greatest Jedi!*

Even as a sith, he was still the best jedi. Anakin skywalker, his story; a tragedy, his life; filled with pain, loss, anger and yet. All he ever wanted was to safe padme, be obi-wan's best friend and Ahsoka's master. He lost everything, his life as vader was a pure torture yet, he came back at the end. He will be the one to fulfill the prophecy and bring balance to the force. He is not the chosen one, he is, anakin skywalker. A friend, a father, a master and most importantly, a good person.

Absolutely breathtaking. You have captured perfectly who Vader was. Absolutely flawless

Hayden Christensen was brilliant as Anakin Skywalker brilliant l done..

Such a tragic and heartwrenching tale. - Born a slave - A slave who become a first rate Jedi - A jedi who become the most powerful Sith the Galaxy. Striking story

he just wanted to save the people he cared about, so sad man.

The part where Anakin and Obi wan slam into eachother and the lava erupts behind them, along with this music gave me chills. Great job!

The prequels honestly tell such an amazing story that's sadly executed poorly. You were able to highlight the story rather than focus on the negative and the video turned out awesome!

"you are.strong and wise Anakin and I'm very proud of you"this always makes me cry

I accidentally skipped forward when padmae asks “is anakin alright” to qui-gon saying “not likely” made me chuckle

I just realized how much I love anakin as a character. God, that cute little child in TPM became darth Vader. I just...wow. This video made me realize it. It’s amazing. Truly, truly, a work of art Congrats on 40,000 subscribers!

I’m not a big star wars fan but I could really feel the kind of betrayal. This is one of my favorites so far!

That you were right scene still gets me, I think it always will

Vader's breathing in the background kind of represents Anakin's inner turmoil he was experiencing all throughout the prequels. The shadow side that was always present in his personality that would sometimes bleed through in his actions and ideals. Until finally it became physically manifested when he finally just decided to let out all his inner demons unto the Universe. It was a nice touch my friend. This is going straight to my favorites and liked playlist.

Darth Vader is above Thanos for me

Episode 3 was the best Star Wars. Hands down. Idc what anyone else says.

"You were my brother Anakin, i loved you" That hit me hard. Especially with the flashbacks of the good memories they had.

1:18 - 2:20 You can feel the fear, the anger, the pain and the hate out of him. Completely unstoppable, powerful and with great sorrow.

This is why people fell in love with Star Wars... It resonates with our souls.

One of the greatest stories told in movie franchise history. Amazing progression throughout all 6 films.

Anakin/Vader are probably one of the best story lines ever created

the hesitation as he says "there is. no. conflict." breaks my heart cause i feel every word of it

4:35 "It is...too late for me...my son" gets me everytime

"Let her go" "I can't live without her" What a masterpiece of video ;) One of the best I've ever seen on YT... you must've put so much dedication on this video Great job and keep it up!

The tragedy of Darth Vader has always haunted me. And it still does. Best villain ever.

This was better than The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi

Rewatching this ahead of Kenobi…. I’m speechless. Amazing tribute and song choice. Truly heartbreaking

One of the greatest stories that cinematography ever created.

The Jedi sure did a number on this guy. He was such a happy kid, despite being a literal slave and somehow becoming a Jedi was the true death of his freedom

Vader saved a little Twi'lik girl from the Emperor's lightsaber by blocking the attack with his own. The conflict was always there within him. The Emperor knew it all along, in the novel "Lords of the Sith" Sidious keeps asking Vader about his connection to the past, his memories and how his Jedi traits still lingered within his actions even as a Sith.

4:57 "Tell your sister, you were right" This line always makes my eyes kinda sweaty ._. Nice work with the edit!

This was great, but it made me sad that the new movies don't carry the same kind of weight for me. Ether way you showed exactly why I love star wars and think Anakin Skywalker is one of the most complex and interesting characters in storytelling.

You know what’s crazy? Star Wars is just a powerful and heart felt franchise. I remember growing up absolutely loving Star Wars, and especially anakin and Darin Vader, as the years passed by, I never realized, that I am “the chosen one”. I started to realize this from 7th grade to my senior year. I believed that I was destined for greatness. Long story short, I was gifted for track but I was afraid to lose everything I loved, I was afraid, arrogant, and I paid the price. It was tough admitting defeat. I lost someone I loved, my gift, my achievements. And myself.. the entire sophomore year to the middle of junior year, I hated myself for what I lost and what I could’ve had. But one day, one moment, one life, I learned to let go. Now I’m 19 and I’ve learned all of my mistakes and I’m currently happy, than you star wars, for showing how we all are “the chosen one” in our story, in our life, in our adventure.

The most tragic redemption story in all of film history. Change my mind!

darth vader fought Luke to prevent his son from making the same mistake as he did

There is no conflict. I just love it when darth vader says that.

That scene at sunset with Anakin is one of my favorites in all the movies. It's easily one of the most powerful scenes.

I love revisiting this video my truly favorite Vader tribute

So damn good, when "On The Nature Of Daylight" started playing it nearly brought me to tears.

"Go, my Son... Leave me" that part always gets me.

The First Order's creation and Palpatine being back in The Rise of Skywalker has pretty much rendered Anakin's sacrifice in Return of the Jedi useless. The Force isn't in balance anymore and the emperor is back. GG Disney. Way to ruin the most important plot line in Star Wars.

Anakin/Vader is the best character of all time. A miracle and a tragedy. Genius and madness.

He will bring balance to the force

You did what the prequels couldn't, make Anakin feel Human

I don't think I can put into words how beautiful this video is, I really don't, but I can try. The audio clips sounded perfect. Every scene flowed perfectly from one to the next. The music filled every scene to the brim with emotion. This was a true masterpiece that I've been watching over and over again. I normally just say "awesome video this was badass!" But I wanna go a bit farther and say thank you. Thank you for making such an incredible video describing the journey of Darth Vader. This video was absolutely perfect

I love you Anakin ♥ Darth vader best character of all time. He's never been totally bad.♥

The prequels were amazing, you can't change my mind

You were able to masterfully communicate the devastating emotional weight of Anakin’s terrible tragedy. His loneliness, his fear, his regret, his isolation and pain were captured perfectly. I shed actual tears watching this and cannot stop thinking about it. The empathy really came through on this. Thank you for your work! 🙏💪

Maul's words: "every moment has led you to this" just hits different with Ani's arch

When Obi Wan starts screaming „you were the chosen one!“ i got goosebumbs with the music intensifying

The character of Anakin is by far one of the most tragic figures. Very Shakespearean.

Palpatine - I will make you a powerful cyborg. Anakin - yipee!!!!!

"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it" -oogway

The first 6 movies were absolute poetry. I’ll probably never forgive Disney for throwing away Vader/Anakin’s arc the way they did.

We need an updated version of this! I love the redemption

“It is to late for me son...” BRUH who cuttin onions bruh😭 like quit dat I’m allergic to crying...

The most beautiful story ever told.

1:47 - 2:21 Goosebumps

Wow. I wasn't prepared to this! This is just brillant. And I swear, I almost cried when you put all those parallels of Anakin when he was a child. But then at 2:22 when Padme is dying and he moves his hands on the ground, ahhh. That parallels with Obi-wan. So sad. Heartbreaking. Goodjob Merwy ❤

Padme: "Is Anakin ok?" Kenobi: "Pretty sure I burnt him alive Padme" Padme: **CRIES** Padme: Dies of being sad.

What a great video from a sw fan to sw fans like us, the feels in this is strong, the loss, the hurt, the anger and suffering, I know this all too well

Esta es una de las historias que mas me gusta, porque refleja mucho en la vida diaria...podemos ser los héroes de nuestras vidas y de los que amamos y nos aman haciendo las cosas correctas aun así sea muy difícil.. O podemos hacer las cosas mal y lo perdemos todo y a las personas q amamos.. aunque tal vez sea demasiado tarde pero la decisión es nuestra de hacer el bien o el mal.

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!

I got to say it is very impressive that you were able to make such a good video even while working with the awkward dialogue that is the prequels. Thank you for this because despite the movies that chronicled him I do very much enjoy Anakin as a character.

You are a being of legend... You are the light and dark side. There is so much power in this video, it's Overwhelming. Ahhhh!!!!!

“What have I done?” - he didn’t go to the dark side willingly

I have been watching star wars since a child and seeing all these great Anakin/Darth Vader tributes are great but this one hits heavy with the editing man you killed it.

I grew up watching Star Wars and anakins my favorite character out of every body it’s just his story is beautiful

The voice in the scene of vader dying when anakin is leaving his mom on tatooine and will never see her like that again and he is saying now go my son to Luke... it hits hard

Anakin and Obi-Wan : The Brotherhood that Doomed the Galaxy.

I loved that you used the reimagined sc38 scene

Tears. So. Many. Tears.

Star Wars will forever be my first love when it comes to movies. You have without a doubt portrayed the story of Anakin Skywalker's decent into darkness and the eventual triumph of the light masterfully. This video is the closest I've come to crying over Anakin since my first time watching the movies.

Darth Vaders story is so fucking heartbreaking.
