The addition of Anakin looking up with first hope and then with disappointment when Sidious comes to "rescue" him, like there was some part of him that still hoped it would be Obi-Wan, was a great choice!

[@Gemoroda]

the dissapoint,ent came from the fact that he let down his new master. not the absence of obi. or at .east is how i interpret it

[@ishowedyouthat2575]

same he looked defeated and ashamed@@Gemoroda

[@rosariocrimson]

To me it always looked like he just finally lost consciousness upon seeing his rescue. You can tell towards the end of the fight that both Anakin and Obiwan are exhausted, and everything else that happened to Anakin post fight, it's amazing he kept conscious long enough for Palpatine to get there.

[@alexiaNBC]

Unlike the movie where Palpatine is trying to console him by sitting next to him, the version here looks down at him with disappointment that his promised apprentice has been rendered a burned up quadriplegic.

[@Gemoroda]

Not sure as in i dont remember the look he gave him in the movie, but from what i remember from the lore outside the movie, not only that palpatine did not care for anakyn, but even more, he was angry at him that his new addition to the dark side, the "choosen one" was beeten by someone such as obi. Even more so (and again i might be wrong because there is a lot of lore and probably versions of it) but i think he also designed the suit (not sure if it ws sideous or if it was anakins choice) in such a way that the suit will actually bring him conatant pain and torture with each step. I think even the heavy breathing is not due to his injuries (althouth they do add to it) but 8ts actually by sideous's design.

[@ruemistressofyeets]

Somehow seeing this in the Clone Wars style hits harder than the original movie did. Maybe it's because it was the Clone Wars that salvaged the prequels for me, and made me care about Anakin as a character; so seeing that fight, done this way, feels like a continuation of the series rather than as a remake of the movie. This is truly professional level animation. The fight was incredible, and the emotion showed through every nuance of gesture and expression. I only wish YT had recommended it to me sooner!

[@johesy542]

It's probably because there's a disconnect between Hayden's Anakin and Matt's Anakin. As you said, seeing this in Clone Wars style makes you have to accept everything that happened in the Clone Wars. I makes it so much more tragic because we spent a longer time with Anakin and it has way more implications.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

​@@johesy542 Exactly!

[@robertcampbell3527]

I love how both Luke and Padme held out hope that Anikan was still there inside Vader. that detail was one of the best easter egg from the prequels

[@swoozie]

Was confused by the thumbnail but understood once I clicked. The fact that this was fan made is so impressive! Do the REAL Palpatine vs Mace fight next! Think a lot of people would love that

[@Simbobwayson]

really should, or even Yoda vs Dooku would be nuts too. at this point tbh, dude should just start taking random sith and jedi and making full blown fight scenes by himself. He has proved he can do great choreography and editing with the lil added touches he made to this fight.

[@DogeCharger]

It took him over 3 years to do this, the only thing he needs to do now is take a vacation

[@The_Noblest_Roman]

I'll agree with the "take a vacation", but will also second that an awesome next project would be adapting the abandoned original choreography for Sideous VS Windu & Co. I still sometimes think about that and what could have been if it had made it to the final cut.

Although it doesn't make much sense. Ashoka never failed Anakin and in TCW Anakin never said or believed it.

[@tuellecke1339]

@@ysoserious8526 I think its more there to for what Obi wan says not how Anakin feels. And the final look of Anakin at the scene transition. It almost looks like small bit of regret and sadness

[@TheDragonHistorian]

​@@ysoserious8526 That dialogue is lifted from a deleted scene from an unfinished TCW episode (of the Crystal Crisis on Utapau arc), so Anakin was meant to have those feelings in canon at some point. However, in the full deleted conversation, Anakin oscillates between blaming the Council and blaming Ahsoka, so he's clearly not sure how he actually feels. Also, the fact that Anakin understood Ahsoka's decision doesn't necessarily mean that he supported it--he's clearly deeply hurt by it. The fact that he had repaired her lightsabers while she was gone also implies that he was always waiting for her to come back (i.e. was in denial about her leaving).

[@TheDMan2003]

I love the details here. Obi-Wan’s robes get more singed and damaged as the duel goes on, while Anakin’s stay relatively clean throughout. And of course when Anakin said “power”, you can see his eyes changing colour, and the facial animation when Obi-Wan realizes he must do what he doesn’t want to. Also, those extra voice clips are from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga really help sell just how high the stakes really are for these two; actually some of the better script changes in that game. Even though Obi-Wan emerged victorious, he lost everything.

[@jackaroniii]

The details in Anakin's face starting at 1:37 are masterful additions to this entire scene. You can see the conflict as he's reflecting on everything he's done and how he did end up being a disappointment to Obi-Wan. The guilt of what he's done in order to achieve his goals is all over his expressions, but that all quickly fades away into anger as he refuses to believe what he's doing is wrong.

[@whiteshadow943]

I agree, it 100% communicates this very well- that’s actually my problem with it as I remember in the movie (this was right after he choked Padme) he wasn’t of a clear mind in the slightest- he was already blinded by rage and feelings of betrayal- he gives his spiel about bringing peace and security to his empire because he also feels indignant like he’s too good for his loved ones who have betrayed him because he is only making the most noble decisions (of course he’s deeply lied to himself- but he’s fully immersed in his self deception at this moment and boiling with rage- not reminiscence nor introspection- he couldn’t be further from displaying that outwardly as he is actively repressing that)

[@gerstein03]

Its almost criminal we never got to see this in the actual clone wars series. Well done.

[@solacechaostra8403]

As a fellow animator I can tell how much work and time can go into even the smallest of details. What really stuck out to me was at 12:40, when Vader takes his first inhale, then as he exhales, the smoke above his ventilator gets pushed up with the breath. The time it takes to push that smoke, something so small yet makes it so much more realistic, just strikes me as little details that only come with passion for the project. Well done!!

@@T1Top It was more of a 50/50 actually, Obi was initially overwhelmed, but he could adapt to Anakin´s fighting style deflecting the attacks and even equalizing a force push from the chosen one, as the fight went on, Obi got used to the pressure and Anakin kept making bad moves so eventually he got put down. And yeah the dark side completely ruined Anakin in this fight he went from beating Count Dooku to losing a overtime fight with his master that Obi believed he should´ve easily been able to overcome, simply because the dark side ruined his performance.

[@virgawolf1485]

Just gonna point this out that NO ONE ever remembers or thinks of, when the helmet comes down onto Anakin's head, he stops breathing, OFFICIALLY making him dead until the next breath after the helmet was complete. There is some sense in Obi Wan saying Anakin was killed by Darth Vader. That turned it into a literal sense. It's a cool little thought that no one thinks of. You can also hear Anakin give his last breaths as a human before becoming more machine than man as the helmet goes on.

[@MrX-yl1he]

This is a true masterpiece. You can see so much love of everybody involved in every frame and detail of this video. My highlight during the fight is the distinct fighting style of both characters. While Anakin is focusing on his power and his will to force anyone down who is against him, Obi-Wan is always checking the area. He knows that his apprentice is superior to him in physical strength and force abilities (and more) but he is focusing on his strengths and on the weakspots of Anakin. Using his surroundings and leading the battle to a place where he has an advantage is absolut battle iq master class. (Ok maybe I am a little to much of an Obi Wan Fanboy:D)

[@tunebeat3809]

Plus, Obi Wan didn't want to kill Anakin, only dismembering his limbs when he had no other choice.

This concludes my heartbreak for Darth Vader. In my opinion, Clone Wars was the best thing that ever happened to Star Wars, because it gives us so much more time to love Anakin the Jedi, the Master of Ashoka, the Brother of Obi Wan. After coming to know him like that, Vader is both terrifying, shameful, and deeply saddening, knowing how far he has fallen. I never needed to see my beloved Clone Wars-style Anakin participate in this epic fight to feel the weight of it, but I see now that my understanding was…incomplete. This was soul crushing to witness. It breaks my heart in the best possible way, and for that you have my undying gratitude.

@@jairneto7665 That's why it's weaker. It makes Sidious more of a two-dimensional, mustache-twirling "bad guy," for the exact reason that you cite. But giving even the Big Bad a humanizing quality, as the original version did by allowing Sidious a note of concern in his voice over Anakin, and then his offering the Kenobi-like healing touch to Anakin when he goes down to him, complicates the otherwise overly simplistic good/bad distinction and makes him just a tad more realistic.
