The best thing about Hayden Christensen's performance is not Anakin showing his good or evil side. It's his huge internal conflict that's so well portrayed. For me, anyway.

[@dillonspear542]

And it’s always so crazy and sad how people that relentlessly hate the prequels and his performance try to attack that aspect of it. Whenever someone complains to me that he’s “whinny,” I roll my eyes and know that they just don’t understand it. You’ve got this hormonal teenager that’s supposed to basically be the greatest Jedi to ever live having this major internal conflict between good and evil. Born a slave, desperately seeking the father he never had until Qui-gon who freaking gets killed, that then gets manipulated by an evil mastermind who basically becomes his fake father figure. I don’t see how anyone could have done a better job at portraying that then Hayden did. And as you said, that internal conflict is so well done and one of my favorite parts of Star Wars.

I did not like the character but not because the actors mad a bad job, I believe they delivered what they were asked for by the dei I think it is Gorge Lucas that in large part the one you should critique if you do not like the prequels. It is sometimes the actor's fault that it is badly acted and it is not a fit for that part. But even then I would if the role not fit them part blame the makers of the movie that cast them.

And though Anakin and the prequels got some cringe worthy moments, they're not that bad. I think about it this way now. Anakin is so detestable in the 2nd and 3rd movie because these movies show us the worst of him. In those movies we see him go through the worst that could happen to him.

[@FourEyedFrenchman]

George Lucas showed that Padme and Anakin have some sort of link in the Force. Even though Padme isn't a Force-user, she's still sensitive to it. There are several shots of them exchanging glances over great distances and being in the same emotional state at the same time. Padme dies because while she was going through the pain of childbirth, she was also suffering the pain of Anakin getting the Vader suit surgically grafted onto him. And as Padme takes her last breath, Darth Vader takes his first. So The Emperor was telling the truth in a sense when he told Vader he killed Padme.

[@andreja9425]

I’ve also heard that Palpatine was putting these nightmares into Anakins mind and was using the force to weaken/kill padme cuz she’s too much a distraction for him. This is an interesting interpretation tho too

[@jedsithor]

I never understood why people had an issue with it. The droids say she's completely healthy and they can't explain why she's dying.

But the major clue was the story of Darth Plaguise The Wise, remmber what Palpatine told Anakin, Palpatine used the dark side of the force and their connection to drain Padme's life force and give it to Anakin because the truth is, Anakin was dying on that table, he had been burnt to a crisp and in actuallity, both him and Padme had died, but when Padme took her last breath, Vader took his first, that was Palpatine siphening her life force energy into his.

Then the memory wipe line happens cool all is now forgiven, but why not wipe R2? He just keeps going with 3PO(which we recently learned R2 has his memories backed up😮) and ends up with the KIDS of Anakin the entire rest of the time and never says a damn thing? Like R2 was there as Lord Vader uses his iconic force choke for the 1st time and it's against Leia and Luke's mother! He don't ever mention any of this shit during all the time with Leia? I say her more so because he's with her far longer, the OT when he 1st meets Luke till Return is 4yr span total according to Wookiepedia and 19yrs with Leia as they were assigned under Bail Organa after this film hence why he was giving the instructions for them. Makes no sense why R2 never mentions a single thing and we know he's always been a personality of his own who speaks his mind but he acts like absolutely everyone is new to him in the OT. Ofc he should've acted like that using real world logic, but going back to canon logic having threepio mind wiped and not his seems an unnecessary decision that creates a potentially huge plothole. He KNOWS who "Lord/Darth Vader is says nothing ever, doesn't act like he know Ben, Yoda, I mean no "Threepio that's your creator!, Luke that's your daddy!, also your mom's killer! Man we had actually YEARS over a decade of adventures I helped him so much and saved his life so many times you can damn near say I'm the reason he's accomplished what he has today!"😂😂😂 I know I know that's what happens when you're over thinking it, but it doesn't make me wrong!

[@ncard00]

Fun fact, and something I didn’t think about/notice till just now. The fight between Shin and Sabine in the first episode of Ahsoka was the first live action lightsaber fight between 2 women. Also, I never felt there was anything romantically going on between Ezra and Sabine, besides Ezra flirting with her when he first met her. That’s why I’m in the Sabine and Shin shipping camp, which would also be the first gay/lesbian couple on screen in star wars, and makes sense for those 2 characters, cause they’re both not very “girly”, and if Thrawn ends up killing Baylan for actually not killing Ahsoka off, Shin could very likely join Sabine and Ezra to get revenge on Thrawn, and/or continue Baylan’s cause in some way, depending on what that ends up being. And Sabine and Shin both have that rebelish, stubborn, and dark tendency nature, the latter Shin more than Sabine of course, so I think they could compliment each other well, learning a lot together and from each other. I don’t know if Dave would go there, but I’d love to see it, not for the sake of representation at all, which I don’t care about, but because it could actually make sense for the characters and the story.

Whenever I see the fight between Sidious and Yoda, I always get chills. Especially that wide shot when the platform rises and they are fighting.

[@thetornadotyc]

Hands down, this is my favorite Star Wars movie. It's always tied with The Empire Strikes Back from time to time, but this one holds a special place in my heart. It was when me and my brother officially agreed, "Yeah Star Wars is awesome, screw what anyone says." People in our school looked at Star Wars as "geeky" or "nerdy" and anyone who likes that is lame. We didn't care. Then after watching the prequels growing up we found the Original Trilogy and man, that was a rollercoaster. Im thankful for those times.

*- The problem with Anakin was his emotions, His emotions for the people he love made him very strong. But not being able to control your emotions can be very dangerous and can make you blinded by it and easily manipulated. Add being raised by Obi-Wan Kenobi that raised him like a friend and a brother. When Anakin needed a father like Qui-Gon Jinn.*

[@alsimmons4504]

Except that the whole "needed a father" excuse doesn't really fly here quite frankly. Being a *grown-ass* 20-something year old man, it was *Anakin's* own responsibility to manage his emotions and discipline himself at the end of the day, not Obi-Wan's, not Qui-Gon's nor anyone else's for that matter.

[@Zabrakjedi]

​@@alsimmons4504you fail to see the point, the boy needed a mentor. His whole life all he felt like was a piece of property because he was, then the Jedi treat him as poorly as Watto did when he was a slave. They treat him like an outcast and an other unless they needed to abuse his natural ability. Obi-wan was a good friend but had no true guidance for him, just overly critical and sarcastic like a big brother. The point is having someone who believes in you and wants good for you is important to a young boy. Anakin wasn't born 20, we watched him enter the order at like 8 years old. It was very much someone's responsibility to give him guidance.

[@alsimmons4504]

@@Zabrakjedi *You* fail to see the *most important* point which is the fact that by the time Anakin became a grown man, he *already knew better* and was perfectly capable of controlling his emotions if he so desired. What happened to him as a kid didn't have to *define* him as an adult and most certainly didn't justify the cruel, heinous things that he did when he *allowed* himself to be lured into an impressionable state and manipulated by Palpatine/Sidious. And at the end of the day, it was *Obi-Wan* who was entrusted by Qui-Gon to watch over, train and raise the boy, not anyone else so even if Obi-Wan wasn't exactly "the perfect guidance" for him, he STILL knew more about being a Jedi than Anakin did so it would've been wise for Anakin to actually *listen* to Obi-Wan more often instead of nearly always butting heads with him. The *most vital* point to FOREVER remember here is that EVERYone is responsible for controlling/maintaining their emotional stability and discipline at the end of the day and what happens to you in childhood doesn't necessarily have to stay with you for all time either. I know what Anakin was born as, but he also didn't remain a 8-year-old child forever either now did he? He entered the Order at around that age which was considered *very* rare according to Obi-Wan which is *all the more* reason why he should've been a lot more receptive enough to pay attention to those who knew more AND did more than him while in the Jedi Order instead of being so arrogant, power-hungry and overly susceptible to his more negative/darker emotions.

[@Zabrakjedi]

@@alsimmons4504 that's a long paragraph to write to still be entirely wrong. Being an adult doesn't give you some magical foresight that prevents you from making wrong decisions. If you believe that, that's just laughable. There are people in the real world who dont do the right thing that are grown so what's your point. Thinking you know the character of Anakin better than how George Lucas described the situation is beyond arrogant. Another thing you forget all of what happened was entirely the will of the force the only way Anakin could balance the light and dark was first to take down the Jedi order which hadnt been walking the path of peace, they were incredibly flawed and even more morally ambiguous than the sith at this point in history.

[@alsimmons4504]

​​​​​@@Zabrakjedi That's quite funny considering how *your* comment is just as short as your train of thought. Nobody remains kids/children forever, sooner or later *EVERYONE* grows up eventually and Anakin Skywalker was no exception whatsoever in the slightest. And another thing that *you* obviously forgot to bear in mind is the fact that he *KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A KID WHO WAS UNSURE OF ANYTHING AND EASILY FRIGHTENED AND FEARFUL OF CERTAIN THINGS* but yet STILL saw fit to commit the most (or one of the most) disgustingly heinous acts that a person could ever possibly commit: he *MURDERED INNOCENT, SCARED, FEARFUL AND UNSURE CHILDREN THAT HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOR WHAT WAS GOING ON.* You also tend to be one of the ones who read way too much into Anakin's supposed role as the "Chosen One" as well because simply put, what happened had virtually *nothing* to do with the "will of The Force" at all, it was Anakin's own emotional instability mixed with Sidious' manipulations that was the cause of Anakin turning against and taking down the Jedi Order who were the ones who practically *raised him* and gave him purpose and power, both things that he never ever had before as a slave on Tatooine. They were *intergalactic peacekeepers* so OFC keeping the peace *was* in their job description (duh lol 🤦🏽‍♂️). And even though they had their flaws, Anakin wasn't exactly "perfect" nor "innocent" himself and had already become even more of a headache for the Jedi than the Sith at this point in time plus the fact that *he* was the cause of their downfall and near extinction just pretty much sealed his fate in the absolute *worst* way imaginable as well. And in the case that *you* seem to be so adamant about claiming, then quite frankly, Anakin should've never EVER been taken into the Order to begin with and maybe he would've been far better off living life as a regular/normal person instead of a Jedi warrior.

[@mikedignum1868]

According to Star Wars lore, lightsabers can reach temperatures ranging from 18,000°C to 25,000°C. The average medium-sized blade is estimated to have a temperature of around 20,000°F. This extreme heat is what allows lightsabers to cut through almost anything, from stone to titanium

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Yes, and the most effective means of keeping a lightsaber from cutting something/someone is... plot armor.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

PS - Once you understand the difference between ray shields and deflector shields in the Star Wars universe, the lightsabers make a lot more sense. A deflector shield is angled to the direction of flight to keep solid objects (meteorites, debris, and other solid objects) from damaging the ship. But a ship that has ray shields up does NOT deflect solid matter... it can repel energy blasts, yet other ships and/or solid objects can pass right through them and dock. With Gungan ray shields, we watched energy weapons fire bounce off, but the droids could walk right through. We've likewise seen tie fighters launch from ships that have shields up. And we've seen (in this film) Anakin and Obi Wan land in a ship's hangar that had shields up during a battle. So a lightsaber relies on a ray shield shaped like a 'blade' to contain the plasma within. This is why lightsabers can repel other lightsabers as well as deflect fire from energy weapons. But solid matter (ie: an opponents arm) will pass through the outer shield and be severed by the incredibly hot plasma within. So energy will bounce off a lightsaber's projected shield, but matter will pass through and be obliterated. I'm actually surprised that nobody in the Star Wars universe wears some form of body-worn personal energy shields to protect against all the energy-based weapons.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

I love the climactic lightsaber duel on Mustafar between Anakin and Obi-Wan. The music, the fight choreography, the special effects and the audio design were also top notch and hold up really well. It's supremely more tense than any of the other lightsaber duels. Also, the fight choreography between Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor is at real time. Not at all slowed down or sped up. They just got so good during rehearsals for the lightsaber duel, that they kept the speed of the movements in real time.

So you actively don’t think about the consequences. In this case Anakin has been hardened by three years of war and has decades of Jedi training that taught him how to compartment his feelings.

We also see a young Raymus Antilles who is told by Bail Organa to wipe C3PO's memory. Raymus Antilles was the Captain of the Tantive IV and the Rebel physically choked by Darth Vader in the opening of A New Hope when he boarded the Tantive IV looking for the Death Star plans.

Order 66 is so much more emotional after growing up with the Clone Wars from 2008 to the final Season from 2021. Many of the Clone Commanders we see gunning down their Jedi Generals are actually characters from the show for example Commander Gree who ends up getting killed by Yoda. Not to mention many of the Jedi as well who were really backgrounded characters in the films but made into actually characters in novels, comics, and The Clone Wars tv series. The Jedi master who was shot down by his fellow Clones and crashed is Plo Koon a really beloved character who was so cool in Clone Wars and is actually the shows creators favourite Jedi so he special attention. The expanded Universe does go deeper into how the Clones were able to just turn on the Jedi like that after 3 years of servicing with them. There's two versions the old extended universe and the Canon. The Old EU explained that the Clones already knew about Order 66 with many even regretting there actions while most Clones were okay with going along with it with some Clones even down right hating the Jedi as many had bad experiences with just awful Jedi Leadership. There's even examples of Clones who went against Order 66 and tried to save Jedi. In the canon highlighted in The Clone Wars TV Series the Clones had Inhibitor chip implanted at birth. These would trigger at an order and in the case of Order 66 force the Clones to turn on there Jedi Generals basically brainwashing losing all train of thought beyond "Kill the Jedi". After a while the events wore off and many Clones were faced with what the done. There was still clones who were fine with it as they actually believed that the Jedi went against the Republic and others who were starting to question what happened. But not long after Order 66 the Stormtrooper program came into effect and the new Imperial leadership started to see Clones as tools of war rather than living humanoids. New enlisted humans started to join the Stormtrooper program and the Clones were offered the course of retiring with pay with many staying on to Train Stormtroopers. While some Clones fought against the Empire trying to help there Clone Brothers and that's all we really know, Bad Batch does into this so I do recommend watching that for more insight along with Clone Wars. I personally prefer the Inhibitor chip but I know there's people who prefer the idea that the Clones always knew and just went through with it. The video game *Battlefront 2* from 2005 actually covers this story showing the events of Revenge of the Sith from the pov of a Clone and after when the Empire came to the power and those same Clones become the first Stormtroopers. This came out in 2005 so before the Inhibitor chips were introduced in The Clone Wars TV series. So the game features the Clones actually know that they'll have to kill the Jedi one day.

The Clone Wars neutered the impact of the betrayal by taking the decision out of the hands of the clones. It was better as originally designed which was a constitutional ordered invoked by the Chancellor that the Clones would be compelled to obey but not forced to obey...it became their decision to turn on the Jedi and made them the secondary antagonists they were mean to be. But the Clone Wars show couldn't abide by their heroes being willfully evil, no sir. Had to hedge the responsibility because the show had no guts.

Heres something to consider. Padmé was never was concerned that she might die. She never expressed a fear of dying or not living to see their children. And whenever any characters brought up her potential death Anakin said things like “I can’t live without her” “I won’t lose you the way I lost my mother.” His desire to save her was about him and his wants, not hers. If he’d ever once considered what she wanted he’d know she’d never want him to do terrible things and that she’d never be with him if she knew he’d done them.

[@paulkondon]

I like your insight into Qui-Gon's role. Qui-Gon was also Dooku's former padawan, and Palpatine knew he was the anchor. I think Palpatine ordered Darth Maul to be sure Qui-Gon died, so that 1) Anakin would not have him to raise him like you mention, and 2) Dooku would no longer have Qui-Gon as a conscience. Dooku makes a comment to that effect when talking to Obi-Wan on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones. Dooku knew Darth Sidious was behind everything, and while Dooku didn't like how the Senate worked or how the Jedi went along with it, he didn't want to destroy everything and hand the galaxy over to the Sith. Qui-Gon was Dooku's last link to the light, and losing him left him appealing to Obi-Wan for help. Obi-Wan didn't have the connection that Qui-Gon had, and simply refused him out of turn. Remember that Palpatine had foreseen most of what happened, and knew it would ultimately lead to Anakin's corruption, removing the last threat to his rise to become emperor. As you saw in episodes IV-VI, Palpatine didn't foresee Anakin's child surviving, nor Luke being able to change him back.

Obi-Wan was also seen more like a brother and a friend than a possible father figure. It's why imo Anakin couldn't really respect Obi-Wan's authority at times and why he has this complex where he thinks Obi-Wan is constantly holding him back or that he's jealous of Anakin.

Anakin is a murderer, Mace is not.

The fact that you can hear the ''Across the Stars'' Melody when Padme lands on Mustafar, always gets me close to tearing up (you can hear it at 30:27 in this video) . Not just because it is my favorite SW soundtrack. Also because how the theme played in sad but also happy moments of their lovestory. It is always so bittersweet to listen to it.

The coolest part about the duel of fates is how mirrored Anakin and Obi Wan were. They sparred every single day and knew eachothers every single move which is why there is that part where they just mirror eachothers exact movements and dont hit each other and then both force push. Such a cool moment.

Thats amazing that you got that feeling about Quigon being the father figure Anakin needed… George Lucas and Dave Filloni have said as much. Thats why the music for when Quigon and Obi wan fight darth maul is called “duel of the fates”

The scar on Anakin's head doesn't occur until the Obi Wan Kenobi series which is AWESOME

[@morothane]

You’re spot on. Qui-Gon was a bit different than other Jedi, but he was the father figure Anakin never had. The brotherhood relationship developed with Obi-Wan and Anakin, and knowing his upbringing, Anakin never had a father figure. The father figure than seeped into his life was Palpatine.

NAH from the second this guy said "Are you an angel?" he was DOOMED 😆

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it always reduces me to tears.

Fun fact: at 17:00 you can see they used anakin and obiwans prop lightsabers for general Greivous’s right arms

Thanks for the info he is a great looking CGI character for the time and still is now.

Accidentally skipped ahead while touching my screen, am greeted with "Hello there"

I don't know if you two talked about this already, but i genuinely think you guys would love the story of The Clone Wars tv show, it makes Anakin's turn all the more tragic, and the way the clones so easily killed the jedi is explained as well.

Really enjoyed watching y’all react. The fact y’all actually think about stuff going on and character motivations and such is so, so refreshing. _Subscribed!_
