Darth Vader | Running Up That Hill

[@doctorfeelgood2670]

I dont know why but the song just hit different when paired with Vader. The fact that he ran up a metophorical hill to save his wife, which in turn destroyed everything he knew and loved. I dont know, theres just no happy ending for Vader I suppose.

"Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy." -F. Scott Fitzgerald This is why Obi-Wan is such a powerful foil to Anakin. Obi-Wan LOST EVERYTHING and suffered as greatly, if not more so, than Anakin. His master, Qui-Gon: murdered before his very eyes. His love interest, the Duchess Satine: murdered before his very eyes. His entire order: completely destroyed. His best friend and student: lost to the Dark Side of the Force. Had no choice but to completely maim said student. Chose to live a life of destitution on a remote wasteland world to protect the future's last hope. Yet, Obi-Wan NEVER fell. He (and we see it in the Disney+ series) learned to abandon nearly all attachment. He learned to be at peace with himself. That is how he became so powerful. Anakin, on the other hand... found strength in his attachments. They were both his strength, and his folly. I'm still thinking about the message behind his attachments being the thing to bring him back to the Light, wherein Obi-Wan thought him totally lost. Perhaps something about the nature of exceptions proving the rule. After all, even justice cannot exist without mercy. TL;DR Both Obi-Wan and Anakin were heroes. A true hero often doesn't get a happy ending, even if they've earned it.

[@donnymoney4222]

Eventually he does have his truly happy ending.

The master of Skywalker removed half the dark side. The apprentice of Skywalker removed the other half. Then, the son of Skywalker removed it completely. Anakin is free.

[@miragemain105]

No, the master and apprentice only saw the light within but didnt remove his hatred Vader saw a recording of Padmes last moments "theres still good in him, i know it" it was that which helped Anakin realise that even if shes gone, she was still with him always and loved him it wqs Luke who helped him feel like he had a choice, that he didnt have to be Vader anymore and Vader

​@Blizzards_holocron it's explained in the vader comics, once again they all try to turn him back but vader side kept taking over killing them until luke appears in the force confronting him before vader could kill the padme vision. Or something like that

[@matthewwhite4564]

because that was his son. Vader spent decades living with the belief that he had killed not only his wife, but his unborn child out of anger. knowing that Luke was alive was enough to spark hope in him

If Vecna ever tried to enter Vader’s mind, the minds cape alone would be enough to destroy his own psyche. Anakin is such a damaged character both mentally, physically and emotionally, it would consume anyone. This song is so perfect for him. Even more because he was a victim more than he ever was a villain.

[@rickblaine9670]

“If I only could make a deal with God, and get him to swap our places.” That fits so well. You can interpret it as both Anakin wanting godlike power over death, or Vader quite simply wanting to go where God is, aka to die and be at peace.

[@AceOfHeartz4]

Vader’s reaction to Ashoka I believe will always be my favorite when it comes to showing the struggles of anakin skywalker. Anakin was pushed back to the surface in shock. He hears one of the few people he truly would bring the whole universe down for….and while he wishes to pull free, Ashoka is a reminder of the dark times. Of the choices his evil inner dragon made that he couldn’t stop. Anakin sinks away in fear and heavy guilt for the blood that stained his hands. Vader regains control and burns twice as hot inside from anakins pain and misery.

[@GokuEEM-d2e]

Nah, it's definitely with Luke or Obi, not Ahsoka

[@miragemain105]

​@@GokuEEM-d2ehe didnt trust Obiwan after Obiwan faked his death, Anakin felt betrayed, the only people he had left that he trusted and loved were Padme and Ahsoka and he tore down the Jedi order, destroyed his whole life for Padme

[@kyloben0073]

Honestly one of the best edits I've ever seen because it all matches perfectly. My greatest respect🙌

[@phoebemullen747]

I have looked everywhere for a video that has the parallels that this video has--lots of people put the Vader/Ahsoka/Obi-Wan fights from Rebels and Kenobi together, but I haven't seen many people pair Luke's interactions with his father at the end of ROTJ with Ahsoka's battle with Vader. To have everything in one place, and so beautifully edited, with a perfect song...I have really high hopes for the friendship/mentorship that could develop between Ahsoka and Luke. I rewatched the Ahsoka episode from Mando the and her and Luke's bits from Book of Boba the other day, and my conclusion is that she doesn't know about Luke as of the Mando episode. It's not just that she's not sure a Jedi will come for Grogu. It's that she's all tight and sad looking, making her veiled reference to Anakin ("I've seen what these feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi. To the best of us.") and she just seems singularly focused on finding Thrawn rather than having anything to do with Jedi. And though she's not exactly helping Luke realize his vision of restoring the Jedi, she's with him, she's not stopping him, she's obviously very supportive of him as a person even though she doesn't agree with his plans...and she's just more relaxed and happy. She smiles more. Her sense of humor is back--the way she says "I'm an old friend of the family," makes it sound like an inside joke. And when Luke doubts his own training of Grogu, she says, "so much like your father," in this way that isn't sad or nervous--she smiles at him so warmly. He looks a bit worried, yet she seems to love seeing Anakin in him. Of course what happened to Anakin will always be a tragedy for her, but this Ahsoka knows her master has a legacy in his children; this Ahsoka knows he came back to the light.

[@argotic8378]

What I find sad about Anakin is he was a slave to basically everyone and everything. Slave as a child, Slave to the Jedi order, Slave to his emotions with Padme, Slave to the force with Mortis because he's the chosen one and slave to Palpatine. Anakin is legitimately a good guy with good intentions but thrown numerous obstacles back to back that kept dragging him down Edit: +Slave to Vader

[@rexwalker9942]

The fits so well for Anakin/Vader. He would have done anything to save and help those that he loved. "If I only could, I'd make a deal with god," meaning if Anakin could he would make a deal with a higher being and swap places to try and save them.

I cannot even begin to tell you how obsessed I am with this edit. I just finished the Kenobi finale like two days ago, and I've watched this like five times since holy SHIT. I'm a huge sucker for parallel edits and this is like TOP TIER CONTENT!!! The way the voiceovers match with each other, like at 0:27 - 0:35, 0:44 - 0:56, 1:05 - 1:10, 1:28 - 1:32 (this being my personal favorite because GAH I WANNA DIE), and 1:41 - 1:43. Also the way the emotions of the characters just escalate and escalate until the beat drop at 0:58. When the song reaches its climax and you really feel not just the physical fight but the emotional one of two people fighting someone they used to call a friend. 0:56 THAT clip being the thing that comes after "I am what you made me" and before the beat drop is so PERFECT I'm OBSESSED. 0:39 The fucking Clone Wars line ACTUALLY having footage to back it now and you using that??? I really cannot get over how fucking amazing this video is, this is EVERYTHING I want in a Star Wars parallel edit about the fall of Anakin and his fights with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka AHHHHHHHHHHH.

*Fun Fact:* Do you know this song is the most ironic. Because according to Nick Gillard, when they were shooting in Australia. Hayden had to regularly Walk from his apartment to a restaurant situated at the top of a hill for lunch. And Hayden hated that, this was later introduced in the film as the concept of high ground. In order to give an advantage to Obi wan over Anakin.
