[@clairemadeinheaven]

For clarification to those who think Anakin and Vader are different people: Anakin and Vader being different is part of the lie. It's what Anakin tells himself (to cope), what Obi-Wan tells himself, and what Palpatine tells Anakin. "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did." "He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader." "The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi." It's only Luke who refuses to accept the lie and continues to call him father and Anakin. This is partly what leads to Anakins redemption. "You were right about me."

[@clarkzinho]

Exactly. That's the point. Redemption is for everyone. This "different personalities" theory only cheapers the message and turns Anakin in a saint who was always the victim. That's not the point of the story.

Incredible! Anakin's arc is often overlooked and overshadowed by "oh he's so cool!" But he truly has one of the best arcs in all of fiction.

[@mateuszjokiel2813]

That's a hell of a stretch. It's entertaining and compelling, but also very basic, uncomplicated and digestible. Good man has good reason but does bad things, bad man has bad reasons and does bad things, bad man has good reasons and does a good thing. That's part of the reason why it's so loved by kids and adults alive, but Anakin's arc, while competent, is just a very typical fall and redemption story - nothing groundbreaking at all.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are as intertwined as the strands of one's very DNA. That was what Ahsoka Tano failed to understand, and needed to understand to move on and LIVE. It was what Obi-Wan Kenobi failed to understand and caused his death. This is what Luke Skywalker saw and understood and saved Anakin's soul. Luke and Rey are both correct: a Jedi was responsible for the creation and training of Darth Vader, and it was a Jedi who saved him. And that Jedi, wasn't Luke Skywalker. And it wasn't Obi-Wan's fault either. It was Anakin. All. Anakin. Because you can't help someone who doesn't want it. Anakin chose to save his son, and in doing so, saved his soul, and redeemed himself. No one TOLD him to do that. Luke BEGGED for salvation from the pain, but didn't tell his father to save him. Anakin made that choice himself. Just as he made the choice all those years ago, to become a Sith.

[@matthewdeguire472]

I hope Hayden Christensen sees this. Such a good edit, captures perfectly the complexity and inner conflict Anakin struggles with, along with this role as the chosen one. I love the bit where we see broken mask Vader while Luke says "I am a Jedi, like my father before me.". I actually teared up at that moment.

[@Christopher-qq4dl]

Lol

[@danmengue]

"I am what you made me" hits so hard. I believe it wasn't directed only at Obi Wan, but the entire Jedi council and the way they did things. In my opinion, the episode in TCW where Obi Wan fakes his own death was reason enough for Anakin become who he does, that was so twisted and wrong, let alone all the other things. All Anakin wanted was for them to trust him, and they never really did.

[@mateuszjokiel2813]

It also shows an interesting contradiction in Anakin at that point. It is also why I never bought into the "Anakin and Vader are different people" shtick some fans are still so adamant about. He is aware that the Council had wronged him and Palpatine had manipulated him by exploiting every emotion he had ever felt, and that is why he has become such a twisted man. A horribly unhealthy upbringing, bad treatment by his peers and a particularly persistent predatory relationship have all made him this way. He clearly feels a great deal of resentment for all of that. These factors were also entirely outside of Anakin's control. His actions are his choice but the circumstances of his youth are not. I am certain that, had he the opportunity, he probably would not have elected to spend his best years fighting a cruel war started by his abuser, for an organisation he felt wronged by at every step of the way. But that choice was not given to him and he resents that, also. According to my interpretation, that is a big part of the reason why he considers his past self weak. Sure, he could not save his mother and wife from death, but there is clearly more to him than that. Taking a look at some other quotes of Vader's, he says things like "Anakin Skywalker was weak; I destroyed him," "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker; I did" constantly. That is clearly not true, he is, after all, standing right there with all the memories and pains of before, and there is still the good of his past hidden within. However, he needs it to be true. He needs this one choice to be his and his alone - to shut the good in him out, to give in to his inner deamons, finally unshackle his passions. He needs it because otherwise, he has no agency. He is still nothing more than a piece of fabric, flapping around in any direction the wind blows, playing to someone else's with no choice in the matter - just as he had been as a Jedi. And he deplores that.

[@KYTEOYT]

same, that would've really brought it to perfection, still really good

[@thedadadaraindejavu8622]

5:28 This part hits different, it’s like when Palpatine is offering Anakin a whole new personality for him to join the dark side, at the same time, Obi Wan and Ashoka are trying to bring him back to the light side, by calling his name, in a desperate attempt to save him. But after failing, Palpating gives him a new name and identity, mentally gaslighting him into believing that Anakin Skywalker is not within him anymore.

[@hassanmasood186]

Anakin Skywalker is the GOAT of Star Wars. He’s the pure definition of Light and Dark. He’s lost way too much in his life: Qui Gon, his mom, Ahsoka leaving, his wife. The Jedi never understood his feelings and everything took a toll on him and made him go down a path that would change him for 20 years.

[@anastasiabell]

I broke down to this , and one who suffers from ptsd, depression, extreme anxiety, the words spoke ring true from Anakin. It tears at me as the light shines dimmer but yet there. Sometimes it feels as if everyone is against you. I had two mothers, one gave me up for a better life and the other gave me up for who I was as a child. All others suffering from this know you aren't alone, be brave and don't look back.. don't look back. It's not worth it. Keep the light and dark and use it as if it gives you strength to move forward to prove those wrong. To be better them those who look down on you. If you do stop fighting you will die.

For him to fulfill The prophecy , Anakin had to become vader.

Anakin Skywalker always has and always will be the Main Character for Star Wars when it comes to me

[@indio4-215]

​​@@alirezaomrani7650 I second everything you said. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is also my favorite character in all of Star Wars since I myself grew up with the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars. And if I recall correctly, even George Lucas himself said that Anakin IS the protagonist of Star Wars, and even if he had not, I would still view Anakin as Star Wars itself, as he and his story hold such central significance to the timeline as a whole. The Original Trilogy just had a POV change in Anakin's son (Luke) is all. And really, Anakin/Vader could be perfectly summed up with this famous quote by Malak to Revan: "Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan... and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone." That line always stuck with me, and when I first heard it in KOTOR, I thought that could be used to describe Anakin/Vader as well, not just Revan. -66

[@noheroespublishing1907]

What makes Anakin work is his imperfections as a character, he's so human in his triumphs and failings, both a hero and a monster, and motivated in both by love, both immature and selfless; his character doesn't just tell the audience what heroism is, but shows how far a hero can fall into villainy just as quickly as they rose to heroism. He's an example of imperfections in either direction.

Again an amazing job. I think each video about Anakin you upload makes me understand him more and more. What a complex character; he's been my favourite since I can remember, and I still feel I know almost nothing about him

[@theunknownuser9609]

This is so good. Between this and the other Darth Vader tribute I'd say you have the best Anakin tributes here. Or at least my favorites.

Came here appreciating Anakin, left appreciating the editing

[@Cressedia]

wow, absolutely wow the whole thing was like a flashback and gave so much goosebumps

[@zarioner]

Amazing work. The way the music, Scenes and dialogues explain the whole Anakin’s story is poetic.

[@xezberzs96]

Incredible, you went above and beyond on this.

Living the the year 3000. Telling a Saga's worth of story in 6 min

"I am a Jedi, like my father before me." There is no phrase that overshadows me the one above.

I just felt a tear drop from my eye, amazing work!!

[@AwesomerSupreme]

A tragic character. Clone Wars did a great job of making you love Anakin even though you knew what he becomes. This was a well done video and made me feel why I love Star Wars. Thank you @SWFT_edits

[@mayhem7896]

this is incredible. I've never seen the animated series (which added so much depth to his character) incorporated so seamlessly. Truly an edit that captures the totality of Anakin's blurred morality and story while feeling epic
