Whoever decided to mix Vader's voice with Anakin's in the end deserves a raise

[@mws755]

yes

[@jamesspring4610]

They got the flow of one to the other absolutely spot on.

[@mikebryan7871]

And they got that third, Vader without the mask distortion, voice spot on too. That voice that speaks is it’s own entity right at that switch in tone when Anakin falls away. HC really nails that acting.

[@Suckmyring]

The lighting too, you can tell vader is regretting going to the darkside when obi wans blue lightsaber is emitting, shortly after vaders red saber emits as if the dark side overtook anakin too much in that stage of life.

[@ronjakirves1500]

Seeing Anakin's face gives me chills. Cause with the helmet, you can easily forget that it's literally Anakin in there

[@Maddie-gb7rw]

In my opinion, that’s the whole point of the helmet, it de-humanizes Vader makes us see him more as a machine/something unfeeling, and the helmet signifies the absence of Anakin. Hence why it is so shocking and powerful when the helmet is broken, because we get a glimpse at a character who was seemingly gone. Also physically hearing Anakin’s voice at the end plays into the internal struggle happening. All and all, this scene in my opinion, was beautifully executed; not only in enhancing the characters of both Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan, but playing on the viewers nostalgia and attachment to the characters. I think many feel as you feel towards this scene because of our own connections to story and the people in it.

Definitely. My mom introduced me to Star Wars when I was 7. I read every EU book, and wore out all the VHS tapes several times over. When they re-released the OG in theatres before the prequels my mom and I went. She insisted. "You HAVE to see the Star Destroyer going across the the big screen!" We ended up seeing each re-release 3 times over. Unfortunately she ended up getting cancer before The Mandalorian and this. She never got to see Luke come back. She never got to see this.

[@buick586]

The more I watch this and re watch episode 3, I'm starting to really think that obi Wan is either the low-key villain or a really shitty friend. Two times when anikin needed him, he walked away. If he had helped him after cutting anikins limbs off how much different things could have been. Or, in this scene, when Vader is incompasitated, he could have helped him.

[@pupulauls]

For me it was always hard to imagine that Hayden Christensen's Anakin and James Earl Jones's Darth Vader were the same person. This scene completely fixed that issue.

[@Palafico3]

Anakin talks kinda weird in the prequel movies because Hayden was trying to mimic some of Vader's cadence and speech patterns, the only difference between them is the voice modulator and that's canon since the OG trilogy. So glad we get to see his dedication seeping out of everywhere, this is probably the single best scene of Star Wars in years.

It was definitely a great scene, but makes no sense Obi-Wan would leave him alive other than it has to happen for plot.

[@coreytoomey7579]

“I am not your failure, Obi-Wan.” I love how this can be interpreted in several ways. Either Vader’s too proud to say he’s anyone’s “failure,” or Anakin doesn’t want his old friend to blame himself. Or it’s a combination of both.

[@rupertbath2748]

To me it showed that a little moment of compassion that was left that he freed Obi-Wan of his guilt, that the kindess of Anakin was still there. The Anakin that would turn on the emperor was always there.

[@johnb8035]

I totally agree. I interpreted both as well. Most people tend to focus on the compassion side, but I see the ambiguity in it. Great writinf

[@tazerraze8697]

Gotta go with the first choice since Anakin absolutely hates Obi-Wan, almost as much as himself.

I don't think Anakin showed any compassion, Obi-wan in episode 4 was certain his good side was dead because of the full scene here. In that way, Luke was the only one that had hope for his father. Beautiful writting

[@brendanhales202]

The callback to the line “I will do what I must” is so pivotal to me. To me it signifies that Obi-Wan has finally forgiven himself for what had to happen on Mustafar. He’s deeply sorry it had to come to that, but he recognizes it’s what he had to do, and will do it again if he must.

[@BlazeMaster]

Actually that's not true and the latter exchange proves that at this point Obiwan is actually still blaming himself for all what happened and as such views it as his responsibility viewing Anakin as his failure, yet ironically Vader tries to warn him that this is exactly what lead to Anakins fall and that Obiwan is falling to the same trap he did before him. Because Anakin fallen to the dark side because of his own guilt and regret.

[@vdaski]

no ? he uses this term precisely because it's not what he wants to do, but what he *must* do

[@vdaski]

at the start of the fight, he considered Anakin and Vader to be one and the same. since he feels responsible for Anakin because he was his master, and therefore responsible for all the evil that Vader/Anakin commits, he thinks it's up to him to sort it out by killing him. if he goes off without killing him at the end calling him "Darth", it's because after what Vader said, he no longer sees Vader and Anakin as one and the same person and therefore no longer considers it his duty to kill him. so before the end of the fight, he was still blaming himself

As if Anakins instinct overtook, his own guilt, his own failure, and his old care for his Master, just for a moment to offer comfort, But then Darth realises he is a Sith now, and allowes his darker feelings to take over, so as to maintain his force presence in the dark, and continue being on the Emperor's side without the Emperor turning on him.

[@BoundlessDrop]

“I’m not your failure Obi-Wan” for me is one of Star Wars’ most iconic lines. It can be taken in multiple ways. In one way it’s in response to “I’m sorry Anakin” it’s an acknowledgment of that apology and also it’s almost an apology back to Obi-Wan. But in the same breath it can also be interpreted as “Don’t take pity on me” “I’m not your failure, because I am proud of what I have become. The death of Anakin is not a loss, so therefore there is no failure.” And it could probably be interpreted in multiple other ways too. This exchange is really so powerful.

[@TheMD93]

"Anakin is gone. I am what remains." Hayden was absolutely perfect in this scene. He said so much with so little. You get to see the depths of the twisted, gnarled form that Anakin has taken on. He is what remains of the passionate, bright, exceptionally talented Jedi Knight; a desiccated husk, a withered, atrophied shade clinging onto fury and hatred as his life force. He is not the cold, emotionless killer that he is made out to be at times. He is driven, focused on his dread single purpose: to utterly destroy the man he believes took everything from him. Only pain remains, and he wields that pain like a finely-honed blade, one that he would gladly give anything to use in service of demolishing the very essence of Obi-Wan. The perfection of the Sith form.

[@RedeemedChef]

If anything, he shows more emotion as Vader than he ever did as Anakin. It’s the same kind, to a degree, but where Anakin was concerned for his wife and tormented by his opposing feelings concerning who he was, with the beginnings of blind rage and paranoia, All there is to Vader is the blind rage, extreme paranoia, self-hatred and all consuming anger.

He blames himself for Anakin’s downfall, especially because he promised Qui-Gon he would train him. Outstanding acting by Hayden and Ewan!

[@tronovonflidder775]

It's a great fight. My only problems with it are 1. It's a bit too dark and the map itself isn't that interesting. And 2. It made Vader look a little too weak and Kenobi look a little stupid for letting him live twice, even after knowing what things Vader has done n' will do if he continues living, and by this point he no longer sees Vader as Anakin. Obi-Wan should have taken a swing to finish Vader off after their conversation, only for Vader to nuke the entire area with the force or something.

[@deadpooldan9862]

It’s sad because, at this point in his life, he’s more machine than man, both physically and emotionally. What was left of Anakin is nearly completely destroyed, leaving behind an empty shell that might as well be full of just rage, pain, and suffering for all the good the human part is.

Up until now, I never truly felt like Anakin/Vader from the prequel-original trilogies were the same characters. Sure, we see Anakin transform into Vader in Episode III, but considering we didn’t see Vader until years later, it really didn’t feel like they were the same person. This scene changed all of that; seeing half of the helmet gone, and seeing a face that actually resembles the Anakin we know, the voice going back and fourth between Anakins genuine voice and the robotic tones of Vader, having these overlapping features just brings it all in. It really does do a lot for Anakin as a character, and adds so many layers to him, and Star Wars as a whole. I absolutely love this scene, and it is so heartbreaking to see the moment when he says “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker… I did.” It feels like just for a moment, Vader regrets what he has done, what he’s become, and what he has to do. And that’s something that I’ve never felt from Vader- even when he killed the emperor, it felt like it was for Luke, not him. This one feels like entirely self-reflection, and I love it. Mwah.

[@TheSCPStudio]

@@FBramme I just thought it was a strange line. It can’t be mocking because it’s a truthful line. He ruined himself in his pursuit of selfish endeavors. Sure he was HEAVILY manipulated, even his existence was manipulated (Palpatine creating him with the force), but he did make some personal choices that led to his downfall. He can’t possibly blame Obi-Wan. He slaughtered children and the entire jedi order, Obi-Wan had a duty. It’s a strange line to me because it removes some burden from Obi-Wan and that’s not something Darth Vader would’ve done after snapping kids necks to get to him. That line was PURELY put in there to fix the horribly mismanaged plot of A New Hope. Remember how Ben Kenobi told Luke that Vader killed his father Anakin? George Lucas didn’t decide they were the same person until Episode 5. They legitimately were separate people at some point and that’s why Obi-Wan meeting Vader in A New Hope doesn’t feel like the relationship we come to expect. It’s also a way to fix the issue that Lucas created with the “Darth” title. A lot of Sith Lords had Darth as a title. But in A New Hope, Obi-Wan refers to Vader as “Darth”. As if it’s his actual name. Which Lucas most likely meant for it to be. Darth Sidious was only ‘The Emperor’ at the time. So the line Vader says in the show is a good way for them to acknowledge Anakin is gone and dead to Obi-Wan and that Vader is an entirely different person. It’s still weird for him to call him ‘Darth’ but it’s the best that Disney can do to fix the convoluted OT plot.

[@TheSCPStudio]

On a side note, I think the transition between the prequel characters and OT characters is mostly due to the actors abilities to mesh the personalities of their older versions and younger versions. Right now they’re both a mix of their prequel and OT selves. You can see a lot of the way that Ben kenobi’s actor acted in the way Ewan portrays him, but you can also see a lot of Ewans younger Obi-Wan. Same with Anakin. He still talks and acts like Anakin in some regard but he’s also more "civilized" evil like Vader was in the OT.

[@micahjohansson7573]

The color switch of the lightsaber, the mix between his normal and his robotic voice is heartbreaking, his inner struggle. Obi-Wan tortured himself for years thinking that he killed his best friend and the sad acceptance that his friend is gone forever. Here we saw Anakin on the duel, the same Anakin who lost everything back on Mustafar, the child who was lost all along. I think that what Anakin said of killing what was left of him was the last piece of humanity that he had.

@Christopher Braxton I concur…remember Vader doesn’t know Padme gave birth before dying. Luke said the same line, “then my father is truly dead”, in ROTJ.

In a lot of ways, Anakin's actions are justified, as Obi-Wan hardly gave him what he needed. I am not saying he is completely blameless. But Obi-Wan and the members of the Council did not fully trust him as they were blinded by their arrogance and overreliance on adhering to their precious Jedi Code. Palpatine knew how they operated and used that against them. Had they freed Shmi in time from Tatooine and allowed for attachments, then things could have been much different. Anakin loved Padme more than anything in the world and would have done anything for her. Even after she died giving birth, he still loved her and longed to be with her. It's clear that this video shows that even though Anakin became Darth Vader, there was still good in him. He only uses the dark side to cover his pain and misery.

He was the only one with the tools to win, but also the only one for whom victory wouldn't mean the prophecy would not come true.

No matter how many times I watch each Star Wars movie and no matter how many times I watch this fight scene, it always brings tears to my eyes. To see Anakin so angry, so hateful and resentful, but to also see that one tear streak down his face, it shows that all he wanted, in the end, was support, and it also shows just how deeply Obi-Wan still did care for Anakin and wanted to give him a chance to redeem himself. You could see the torment in Anakin's eye, you could see the pain, but you could also see that he had let himself go. You could hear the desperation in Obi-Wans voice again, just like in Revenge of the Sith.

[@AttentiveDragon]

When Obi-Wan said "I have failed you" on Mustafar, he still hadn't really accepted what had happened to his apprentice. He was in the middle of a duel. He was still angry and still in denial. When he shouted afterwards about having been Anakin's brother, he was in the midst of anger and grief. Anger and Denial, with a bit of Bargaining. The classical stages of grief. Everything after that was Depression. He wasn't hiding from the Empire. He was hiding from himself, unwilling to confront what he saw as his own failure. The Force wouldn't respond to him because he felt he was unworthy of it. He blamed himself for everything that happened. Having something to fight for gave him strength to win this duel, but it's that final conversation with Anakin that finally pushes Obi-Wan into Acceptance. When he finally tearfully apologizes, he's finally having a conversation he was denied in their previous duel while Anakin lay there screaming "I hate you" and burning. He's able to convey to Anakin how sorry he truly is for everything that happened, how he failed to see his friend's pain until it was too late to help him. And I think Anakin, in a way, is responding to that genuine emotion from Obi-Wan. The Vader part of him doesn't mean to reassure him by saying "you didn't kill Anakin, I did." That's just Vader's usual self-justification still at work, convincing himself that turning to the Dark Side was some great victory and not the loss of everything he had ever held dear. But that justification is everything Obi-Wan needed to hear, and maybe, just maybe, there's that tiny spark of Anakin still in there that actually delivered that line. Maybe it's not all Vader, at least for a moment, before Anakin is subsumed again and lost. Either way: Obi-Wan can finally accept that Anakin is gone, finally remember him as the man he was, as a good friend, and see him as a separate person from the Dark Lord he's just utterly defeated. Now, as a Jedi, sitting in a place of acceptance where he can move on, he's able to turn away. He doesn't need to kill Vader now. It would be foolish to: it would draw the Empire down upon him like he'd never seen before. Better to just disappear again. Beyond that, however, he doesn't need to take vengeance for Anakin. He's humiliated his murderer, and come to a place of acceptance. He's seen the fire in Leia. He's been watching Luke. He knows that the time is still not right for the Jedi to return, but that there is a new generation growing (that he has helped to nurture and protect) that will carry on the fight in the future. He can step aside: not to hide from the Empire or from himself any longer, but to pass on the torch. When the Force brings Luke to him, as he knows it must someday, he will be ready to pass on what he has learned. And in the meantime, the creature that remains of what used to be Anakin can stew in its own hate. The suffering it is enduring is beyond any punishment Obi-Wan could deliver. Vader is beneath him, and he moves on, because there are more important things to think of now.

​@JDog2656 someone posted a video that this was how Anakin learned to become a Force Ghost so quickly after dying on the Death Star.

It's like saying to Luke: "You proved me wrong about your father. And because of that, I wanted to make it up to you by giving you your father back. If you need him, he can hear you and will come when he is asked."

I find the detail of Vader checking his grip and posture at 2:14 to be such an interesting detail. He is much more cautious than he was in Mustafar and may be at this point terrified of Obi Wan. You always see him strut around and is loose or even bored with other opponents but he is absolutely alert here. I mean it's always apparent that Anakin has such an inferiority complex around Obi Wan and always desired approval. In any case he hasn't stopped being cheeky anyway. 'That is why you will always lose' says the guy who lost last time. Anakin was still there he was just so convinced he was irredeemable. That's just too unfortunate for Obi Wan that he had to witness his friend die twice and leave him again.

[@wiskyr6510]

That kinda what I was thinking. Also, is this potentially the first time we really get to see him full force on screen (dualing at least). I mean his fight with Reva he's just toying with her the entire time before sweeping her under the rug, his fight with obi-wan in the ANH he barely puts up much effort because Obi-wan gives in, and all his fights with Luke he's usually pulling punches because he has an alterior motive.

@@AnastasiaSoboleva-g8t are you smoking crack? besides the abysmal camera work, this is one of the best choreographed fights in the entire series and the more you watch it, the more thought you can see was put into it. they obviously drew from Legends material a LOT to make this fight, when you consider that Vader's form was a hybrid of Djem-So, Soresu, Makashi, and Juyo (all of which you can see at different points during this fight), and Obi-Wan's being a mix of Soresu, Ataru, and Shii-Cho (which you can see at different points in the fight). There are also a lot more tight sequences of blocks, parries, and workarounds here as opposed to the fight from ROTS (which eventually lost its steam in terms of choreography after Anakin and Obi-Wan jumped into the bridge near all the eruptions). Combining that with what's easily one of the most busted displays of Force powers in live action, someone actually targeting Vader's chest plate, actual pommel strikes, and even a nod to the Old Republic fight between Ven Zallow and Darth Malgus, I don't see how people think this fight is "bad" other than the fact that it was produced by Disney

[@dude7289]

It’s crazy to see Vader actually fight. Usually we only see him lift his finger maybe an inch or his lightsaber barely over his abdomen but here he is truly just swing as hard a possible, being thrown about, wobbling everywhere. People forget that vaders armour is super heavy, especially the shoulders which from an article said they were 15 kgs each. That’s why Vader never lifts his arm. But to see him have so much hate for obi wan to go through the pain of lifting his arm, to stumble with his irritating artificial skin, really gives us an insight into what he feels edit theory- what if vader wasnt at his potential here because he way too mad at obiwan. Think about it when we are angry to an extent our performance does increase. But when we have too much rage we become erratic, and blinded by rage. This doesnt allow us to think properly and gives room for alot of error. From what i remember palpatine never gave vader proper training so i guess vader never learned to fully increase performance(not power) as effectively as maybe he could. so when vader faced obi wan his power was off the charts but the rage brought out a primal instinct and he was not able to think properly and thus couldnt control his lightsaber properly.

This scene at the end is just perfect. It merges the prequels and the original triology perfect. Obi-Wan calling him just "Darth" in the end, even though its only a title, just like he is calling him in "A new hope" (where no one new about Sith). Some people complained about the confrontation in this series at all, because of Vaders statement in "A new Hope": 'When we last met, i was the learner, now i am the master.' In this battle, he still is the learner. When you think of the sith code: "Peace is a lie. There is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me." He lost two times... On Mustafar, and in this fight. He hasn't broken his chains. His feelings still withhold his true power. He isn't fully Darth Vader. So it's no contradiction that they had another fight between ROTS and ANH. And this scene corroborates the statement of Obi-Wan, that Darth Vader killed Anakin. So it wasn't a lie. It's really amazing how they got all these points in one dialogue, without giving the feeling of forcing it, iykwim... And not to forget... Really great acting between Hayden and Ewan.

[@kiraxbara456blitz6]

The only thing good about this duel is the dialogue. The duel itself is hardly that good. These are my complaints. 1. Darth Vader has about at least 10 years under his belt hunting Jedi, he is at least should be his peak, he should NOT be conflicted. His new hope dialogue makes no sense, he is not a learner, at this time, Vader is a full fledged Sith lord, not newly christened as in ROTS, which makes more sense. 2. Vader or even Anakin was always superior to Obi wan in terms of the force, so him getting overpowered here makes NO sense. Vader is considered at least 60-80 percent of Sidious's strength. 3. Palpatine's ending scene also makes no sense and clashes with Rebels (which takes place AFTER Kenobi). It implied that Vader was still looking for Kenobi, and Palpatine responded, "yes, if he lives...." He shouldn't say this if they met prior. 4. Obi wan in both Legends and Canon was a defensive swordsman, in here, he is going mostly offensive, which shouldn't be his strong point. 5. Vader has cybernetics plus metal limbs, while slower, he should be overpowering Obi Wan with his physical strength alone.

Apologizing to Padme for lying about his suspicions, apologizing to Anakin for faking his death, apologizing to Darth Maul....to Vader....all the way to Luke. All of the guilt on his shoulders is heart wrenching. But it exposes something sinister. As good as Kenobi's intentions are, he is an arrogant cunt, always rushing to indecisive action, fucking up, and making things worse for everyone.

You can really see how Vader’s duelling style has changed since RotS, it looks heavier and each attack is a heavy cleave and each parry/repost is turned into a heavy counter cleave, i love how it shows despite the suit being heavy and cumbersome, Vader can be just as quick as he used to be with his swordsmanship, the form while incorporating much of his previous style, has been modified and hybridised with a lot of Dooku’s Makashi, a touch of Juyo with the aggression in his opening cleave and spins and even Obi Wan’s own Soresu. I like that he gets clunky and frustrated after Obi Wan makes a comeback, he gets frenzied, but tired and clumsy, just getting beaten and cut down. Despite being rebuilt physically and reworking his entire fencing technique, he is still Anakin, and gets frustrated, cocky and reckless as the fight progresses out of his favour. Hayden being able to get all this choreography done in that suit is insanely impressive.

@@OGrupxe It is important to note, however, that the imprecision is relative to other highly skilled force users. Just by virtue of being a force user and strong as he is, Vader’s movements are more precise than physically possible for 99.999% of people.

@@ifmondayhadaface9490 Not taking anything from him. His boss battle in Fallen Order is LITERALLY just Kal SURVIVING, not fighting him is how you "win". Why? Simply because fighting Vader is, for 97% of the galaxy, the bravest way to commit suicide. That's how powerful he is. Luke had his luck and just enough power gifted to him. Most would have perished in his place.

When Vader goes “you didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker, I did“ it’s like he was trying to give Obi-Wan some sense of peace from his guilt on how he couldn’t save his best friend from becoming this monster. Especially when last time he went “I am what you made me”

[@jharmo2]

That's exactly what I said. Anakin in that moment is basically telling Obi-Wan I forgive you. Anakin freed Obi Wan of his guilt.

[@rickblaine9670]

The set design here is something I don't hear mentioned often enough. It's just as symbolical as Lucas' set design choices were. This dead wasteland covered by mist and shadows... a cold, lifeless version of Mustafar. It's like Obi-Wan is visiting the Hell where Anakin's soul is trapped, to look him in the eye one last time and tell him he's sorry. And, on this note, I love that he does it so simply, so gently, with tears in his eyes. On Mustafar, Obi was still in large part a Prequel-style Jedi. As heartbroken as he was, his judgement of Anakin in the "You were the Chosen One!" monologue was still stern, inflexible, Mace Windu-like. His words solemn and tragic like those of an angel casting away a demon. Full of sadness and regret, yes, but there wasn't an ounce of pity in them. Here, pity is all you see in Obi-Wan's eyes, all you hear in his voice. He has had so much time to think, to elaborate, to regret. On Mapuzo, he has even literally just shared a part of Anakin's physical suffering. So now he understands him and the depth of his tragedy like he didn't on Mustafar, like he never did before. His apology is truly heartfelt and genuine, without a hint of judgement of recrimination in it. He is just sorry that his actions contributed to Anakin ending up in such a horrible state, and has the humility to simply ask for his forgiveness. This, if you ask me, is where Obi-Wan Kenobi truly becomes the great Jedi Knight Qui-Gon once foresaw in his future. Like Qui-Gon himself and Luke Skywalker, he has discovered and overcome the fatal flaw of the Prequels' Jedi: he is no longer afraid of his own humanity.

This is when you realize that Vader doesn’t really hate Obi-Wan… He hates himself for causing his own demise, but he sees Obi-Wan as the only person, who im his mind, should’ve sided with him when he turned to the dark side. He sees Obi-Wan as the light side of the force that glimmers around his past. He truly loves Obi-Wan and you can see that everytime they duel, it’s not a full-on combat but rather an exchange… they talk, and then they fight… If you truly hated someone you would just take them out right there and then, and spit on their grave. Vader takes his time, as if welcoming an old friend. An old reminder of the life he had before turning evil…

@@protege1717 not quite, gotta remember that Vader lost approximately over half of his strength after his defeat at Mustafar and because of his new body he was also forced to leave his usual agressive/ acrobatic form he mastered to one that suited his new body, but still wasn't as effective as his old one. So while Obi regained just enough strength to defeat the current, severely cripped Anakin, he wasn't still nearly as strong as he was back there at Mustafar (Vader: "The weakness still remains") had he fought the prime Anakin with 10 years of Jedi hunting under his belt, hate to say it but he would have standed no chance as he was now.

It might sound crazy, but this scene helped me heal from an estranged relationship I had with somebody. Obi-Wan was so certain that he could fix the past and bring back Anakin to who he was, but this scene is the final nail in the coffin as Vader put it "Anakin's gone". People change, and sometimes not for the better or the way you want them to. You have to learn that if somebody chooses to be something that does not resemble who they were, sometimes it's better to no longer be a presence in their life.

Cracking the helmet and showing the damaged Anakin for the first time in years (even lore wise), is not in any way overdoing it, it's just what we needed.

​@@marcGOAT1 Not really. The show demonstrated just how powerful Vader is on several points: in his duel with Reva, when he forced grabbed the massive ship and pulled it back and started ripping chunks out of it and even in the final duel with Obi-wan. Vader losing to Obi-wan is emphasising that HOPE is the one thing that is always stronger than fear, anger and hatred. Obi-wan was losing to Vader until he thought of Luke and Leia... the last hope for a better future! Once he held onto that hope he became more powerful and was able to overcome Vader.
