Ahsoka could have brought anakin back to the ligt side...

[@timesupea]

@@hardcoresteve1992 Anakin is the heart Palpatine is the mind, the heart is fiery and passionate, symbolized by Anakin burning. Pride engulfs The heart through the minds temptation and it goes up in flames, which is why The mind is calm collected and remorseless, like the strikes of lightning which smites one up in flames. The mind reigns over the heart which is Anakin Skywalker, encased in the Darth Vader suit of the flesh which we all wear, it keeps us weak to the lightning/emotion of the minds electrical connections. In the end, we are not Darth Vader/the body, we are Anakin Skywalker/the heart, and once this is realized, we can overthrow the inSidious mind, but this can only be done through our son/Sun/soul, which is Luke Skywalker, who we must save from Palpatine/the mind. That must be why Palpatine is smiting Luke at the end, it symbolizes spiritual death or the death of the soul inside the mind. This is what I believe star wars is trying to tell in an arcane sense.

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.

[@Rayrix360]

​@T1Top except Anakin never beat Obi-Wan. He was always too impatient. Obi-Wan is the definitive master of defense. His fighting style will always beat those who try to overwhelm him. You can see it in this fight, the fight against Grevious contrasted against his fights with Dooku (especially in the Clone Wars). He beat Anakin and Grevious who were all about overwhelming power vs Dooku who he routinely lost against. Dooku was all about finesse and he knew Obi-Wan's offense was nowhere near his defense, so he always kept Obi-Wan on offense. He could do this because he was patient. This whole fight Anakin kept Obi-Wan in his strongest field, on the defense. It was one of his greatest failings as a jedi. He believed in being the best swordsman over developing his unrivaled potential in the force.

[@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).

[@hosrakkiham395]

But the real one, not the one we got in the movie.

[@EternalRoman]

I loved how this animation showed something most people missed from Darth Sidious when he finds Anakin/Vader burned. It can be seen as Sidious was visually angry because his perceived "all powerful" Sith apprentice was nearly killed by Obi Wan. Sidious was disappointed, and knew that he had no replacement at the moment since the Empire was literally just implemented as the governing body. He was stuck with a "damaged" weapon and as such he needed to use him as much as he could till he found another. Also, another thing that was missed that people never noticed. Obi Wan was as every bit as powerful as Anakin, the difference was age, and this also fueled Anakin's rage and jealousy towards Obi Wan. He saw him not just as trying to take Padme from him, but since Anakin was supposed to be the "Chosen One", he still could not beat Obi Wan, and this infuriated him internally and saw Obi Wan as a rival and a stepping stone. I think this hearkens back to the Attack of the Clones when Yoda says that the Prophecy could had been misread and Anakin's rant, blaming Obi Wan for everything. Anakin/Vader obsessed so much over Obi Wan that every time he thought that there was a mistake made by Luke, he was always readily verbally attacking/claiming as "Obi Wan's failure, Obi Wan's Mistake" and the such, even after Obi Wan himself told him "If you strike me down, you will make me so powerful that you could never imagine" (paraphrased) and still Vader obsessed with Obi Wan.

[@phantomphan873]

clearly you need your eyes checked if you cant tell the diff between CG and Live Action. The original goal of this project was to look like the clone wars and give us basically a clone wars finale scene in the clone wars style. And WOW it did its job. Saying that it "looks like ep 3" is doing it a disservice. Instead you can recognize that it keeps that same fiery, sad, and angry anguish that ep3 had while also doing a great job of replicating the clone wars style of lightsaber dueling. It takes the medium of TCW and the scenes from EP3 and brings them together in a way that is beautiful and distinct.

11:09 I have to say, in my opinion, the scene of Sidious finding Anakin here was better than the live action movie. Anakin looks up to find his master above him, and realizes he will always be above him. He literally and figuratively will never be able to reach or rise to his masters level. And he is left with defeat, despair, and pain.

[@toxicbob2000]

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!

[@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.

[@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]

There are so many details that are hidden throughout, such as Obi Wan almost cutting off Anakin's hands but Anakin prevents it by letting go of his lightsabee and grabbing it in mid air, that comes from the cut version of Anakin vs Dooku in Revenge of the Sith. Another is some of Ewan McGregor's voice lines in for his talk about democracy and after he defeats Anakin, which is amazing, although i feel like some of hayden christensen's voice lines could have been used such as the "I HATE YOU". And the last hidden detail i found is Anakin's eyes turning yellow when he says "you underestimate my power", it's suttle and it's an amazing detail that shows he is fully planning on killing Obi Wan

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.

He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

I love the reference to the deleted choreo between Dooku and Anakin at 3:24 What an incredible job, you’ve definitely earned all the subs and success from this passion project 🔥🔥🔥

[@SamuelSturtridge]

That was the most INCREDIBLE Clone Wars fan animation/scene remake I have seen to date! Lucas, Filoni, and the rest of the creative team behind Clone Wars and the rest of the Saga would be very, VERY proud of you and the work you put into this masterpiece.

[@DFloyd84]

Don't let Disney's lawyers see this, though.

[@amuroray9115]

@darthcaliginous2066 Filoni is the reason this Clone Wars animation exists 😂. But Star Wars fans also bullied Lucas back in the day, so I’m not surprised by your commen

[@matthewmonroe665]

@darthcaliginous2066he is literally apart of everything good involving modern day Star Wars

[@amuroray9115]

@darthcaliginous2066 the same Lucas SW fans, like you, bullied when the prequels came out. Filoni’s writing and directing on that show is one of the reasons why it excelled. Your average Star Wars fan

The same can be said for all of Star Wars lmao​@darthcaliginous2066

This really is what was the last season of the Clone Wars needed to complete the connection between the animation series and the movies. So incredibly well done!! I’m speechless!!

[@zacqueeentertainment7336]

Very true!

3 years of dedication to make this recreation was more than worth the wait. absolutely great job! i even loved the addition of the opening scene where it foreshadows the events of rots. it's great.

[@danielhollis100]

Oh, wow... This is absolutely spectacular. Not only did you and your team animate the existing duel with faithful one-to-one shot replications, gorgeous animation and compositing and professional sound mixing, but you used this opportunity to recontextualize the duel and add sequences that make it stand alone as a coherent short film-all at the expense of your own time, money and creative energy. This is not just an ordinary KZbin video. Congrats, congrats, congrats!

Kathleen Kennedy we have the high ground.

[@Darthslim108]

The sadness on Obi-Wan's face when he said "don't try it" and then as he watched Anakin burn absolutely broke me. That was so incredibly well done!!!

[@christianmayfield1555]

Such a cool detail! You don’t really sense that heartbreak in Ewan’s performance.

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too. But, I would’ve imagined the micro series of Obi wan vs Anakin on mustafar.

[@quicksilver753]

It really hits different after seeing these animated characters actually interact and bond throughout The Clone Wars series, really heartbreaking seeing how they go through so much and then seeing it all end like this. Amazing work!

Makes me want a full length ROTS in this style even more! 😂
