Darth Vader - The suit - Star Wars Episode III Revenge of The Sith HD

[@MegaDrain]

the "Where is Padme" line always concerns me because even though Anakin just got the suit on we always see Vader as this massive villain and after everything he will do and has done to that point, just to hear him be concerned is heartbreaking.

[@PippPriss]

+MegaDrainProductions To me, that scene is the MOST powerful scene of all. Because in that particular moment, he lost EVERYTHING he was fighting and reasoning for. How much of a betrayal must it have felt for him, as he found out about Luke Skywalkers existence?

[@MagnsATK98]

+MegaDrainProductions What, was he not supposed to ask if his pregnant wife who he had choked half to death and left on Mustafar was okay?

[@MegaDrain]

+John Balboa I think you misunderstood, just hearing Darth fucking Vader being concerned for another human being hurts because we recognize this voice as being really evil especially with the expanded universe.

[@MagnsATK98]

MegaDrainProductions Yeah, but sith can be concerned. Jedi such as Anakin have been driven to the dark side in order to save loved ones or to seek revenge for their deaths. This is why it was forbidden for a jedi to fall in love. Vader's love for Padme was the only part of Anakin left in him. The "NOOO" is when Vader starts to reject his former self and is only driven by hate, especially against Obi-Wan. The moment when Anakin dies, this scene was meant to show the tragedy of Anakin. The emperor likely planned it, look at the way he smiles before Vader's "NOOO". He has now completely driven him to the dark side. From this moment on, he's the menacing Darth Vader we know.

[@GeneralHeavy]

+John Balboa But when Vader betrays the Emperor to save Luke, Anakin was somehow reborn.

[@SuperSix4]

This scene almost brings me to tears. Sidious destroyed Anakin and everything he had. The jedi order is destroyed, Padme is dead, his master is gone, his body is horribly scarred, his mother is also dead, pretty much everything he ever had and loved is gone. This all explains why Vader begins to construct a plan to kill Sidious, hell I bet Vader was filled with hatred every time he even thought about Sidious. And even more hatred every time he called him master

[@ManSpider92]

+SuperSix4 I feel like he was emotionally dead and broken until he learned of Luke and Leia.

[@SuperSix4]

Spider-Man I would agree with that

[@Elizaveta7155]

+SuperSix4 Well, killing Sidious (or himself) would be useless... that doesn't bring back all the people he loved. Besides, Sidious was a father figure to him.

[@jakandratchet9930]

+Елизавета Самусева but he grew to hate him after all sidious has put him through, all the lies he was told, he realized Palpatine didn't actually have the power to save padme, in fact rumor has is that he had arranged her death(which I think is false) but Vader did want to kill Palpatine and hated him immensely after he learned that padme was dead

[@jakandratchet9930]

+Елизавета Самусева but eventually when he learned Luke was his son he realized he still had a family and could overthrow the emperor like he originally planned

[@santiagomacedo5061]

Napalm Blaziken It's actually because he dies, and in the original scene (this one is cut to just show Anakin) Padmé dies, and when she dies, Anakin's heart starts to beat again. That's because Sidious stole Padme's life to give it to Anakin. Lucas confirmed it, I think

Holy shit you might be right. Palpatine might have been playing words right there. "In your anger, you killed her" By being in the dark side, padme lost the will to live 0_0

[@taraungoogle8482]

Some believe Palpatine was stealing Padme's life force through her heart break and sadness and putting it in Anakin when he was making him Darth Vader. In the comics, Palpatine said to Vader after he fell on his knees after shouting "no" that Padme left pain for Anakin.

[@TheFirstCurse1]

Oh shit, I never thought of it like that. That makes so much sense.

[@spiceboyog9083]

Yes it is because Padma was fine she lost the Will to live literally because of Anakin turning into Vader. Also Obi-Wan and Yoda don’t understand the super advanced technology they have. But it’s also the will that’s why Vader lived as his hatred compounded into ensuring he wouldn’t die as he forced himself to stay alive.

Darth Vader is a work of art in himself - a sad, broken man whose idealism and selflessness are smothered by cruel reality. My compliments to George Lucas for such a unique personality. When I was a child, learning about Darth Vader was one reason why I reconsidered the black and white perspective of my childhood. In addition to other experiences, Darth Vader was a lesson why life is complicated and why I should understand others' perspectives, not just my own. People could do questionable things for justifiable reasons and vice versa.

[@libertubey2199]

The events of "The Phantom Menace" took place thirty years before the events of "A New Hope"; the events of "Attack of the Clones" took place ten years after TPM and the events of "Revenge of the Sith" three years after AOTC. Anakin was just 9 in TPM, 19 in AOTC and 22 in ROTS. So, by the time we get to the events of both Rogue One and ANH, Anakin, at that point, Darth Vader of course, would be 39. When ANH was being filmed, David Prowse, the actor who originally played Darth Vader in physical form, was 39. So, there we have ir.

[@FutureSoapStar09]

I'm glad people are finally coming around to this scene because it's actually pretty important. First of all, his love for Padme is the reason he did all this (also losing faith in the Jedi) so to not ask about her is ridiculous. Second it emphasizes the tragedy in all this. He's lost everything that mattered to him, his mother, being a Jedi, Obi-Wan, Padme, his lack of feeling towards other people and apathy towards his true identity as Anakin is complete. Yes, he became Darth Vader when Palpatine named him so but Anakin was also there. It's how Dooku was also Darth Tyannus. At this point there is no separation between the two. Anakin is truly gone and only Vader is left. Third, it emphasizes the Anakin-Luke-Padme connection. Both mother and son believe there is still good in him and the last thing Padme said to Anakin was that she loved him and wanted to be with him. Anakin would be truly dead if he allowed Palpatine to kill Padme's child with him.

George Lucas stated, if not for his injuries, *Anakin (as the Chosen One) would have eventually become twice as strong as the Emperor.* But without his limbs and due to the severity of his injuries: *he's only about 80% of the Emperor's strength,* and the intricacy of his life support system makes advanced techniques like Force Lightning potentially fatal to him. The novelization says he can still feel the Force: but his power is muted, like a composer gone deaf or an artist gone blind.

Even though 80% of the prequel trilogy was bad, I think the way they tied everything together, the way the Emperor came into power, Anakin becoming Darth Vader was done very well.

[@TheClumsyChicken]

2:08 you can faintly hear Anakin saying “Padme help me” right before Vader’s helmet goes on

[@brcshephard]

Episode III was my favorite film because it was the first one I saw in the theater. 3:45, I thought to myself, The saga has gone full circle and the story has been told. But at 4:10, I knew it was only the beginning...what memories will tomorrow bring!!! The Force Awakens #StarWars

[@peachewe2910]

its such a cool little detail that when Vader takes his first couple steps he staggers, obviously trying to get used to his new legs

[@kennethbowers2897]

2:09 "Help me Padme...." Nobody noticed it but I always did, especially with a good set of headphones.

[@bsuga6778]

You didn't notice it until star wars theory said it lol

[@benjaminrodriguez2091]

Yeah same even without headphones to perfectly

[@StepaniM]

If you listen carefully, you hear Vader's voice shake when he asks a second time "is she alright?" Poor man. Whatever evil he's done, I can't not feel terrible for him.

[@anakinskywalker3672]

2:08 he says Padme help me! It’s muffled because his vocal cords are burned so his voice is a whisper

[@Ambsm14]

Anakin Skywalker i just heard it! That’s incredibly heartbreaking

[@anakinskywalker3672]

Ikr and if you don’t mind telling me, why are you still awake?!

[@Ambsm14]

Anakin Skywalker did i comment at a super late time 😅😂

[@anakinskywalker3672]

Yep

[@voicingdragoon7]

had they just replaced the no at the end of this scene with a scream of pure rage I would probably rank this higher up on scenes from the prequels. the rest of it is so good though

[@AwesomeSheep777]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@danielkiran8174]

AwesomeSheep777 Luke's Noooooo in Episode 5 was much more cringey

[@abdulbah2176]

Mercury Black Vader was screaming but because the voice box can’t translate a scream it translated it into a noooooooooo

[@THENICEGUY1134209]

honestly i liked the NO, most people didnt like it because it doesnt sound like the vader we grew up with, he sounds weak, in distress, and thats because he is. its his last moment of humanity his last moment of weakness

[@josephbonczyk3182]

This movie taught me that the most powerful villain can come from one of the good guys.

[@vincentvanzant321]

All the pain he just went through and still first thing he did was tobask if his wife is alright. Palpatine is a special kind of evil to manipulate Vader the way he did. All of Anakins motives and actions were to save padme. Glad he found peace in the end.

[@TheKeyser94]

No totally, he was arrogant, he had lust for power and let not forget that he didn't give a fuck about democracy, to him, a supreme leader should take all the decisions, not matter how cruel or ruthless they were.

[@MrRunYimmy]

When Anakin said silently "Padme help me" before the mask went on was a nice touch!

[@jessiedixon4889]

This scene here, I could feel Anakin's pain from the mistakes he made, only to fall prey to a emperor who was his supposed "friend", for that "friend" to attempt to take his son's soul. Vader isn't just a villain, but when you think about, he's actually complicated in a lot of respects. If you look at his comic he has, you can see the conflict that he has even after his conversion

[@JohnnyV123]

In theaters, the build up to Vader's first breath was spine tingling and awesome.

[@jacobibarra097]

i love how genuinely relieved Sidious looks after he sees that Anakin is still alive. even though he is a sith, he honestly looked worried and cared for anakin. if it was a jedi, he wouldve been like, "hes dying, just leave him" such as the beginning space battle in the movie. Anakin wanted to help the other pilots. but Obi Wan told him no.

[@blueshit199]

Well, Palpatine also told Anakin to leave Obi Wan on Grievous' ship, but I get your point. After all, it was Obi Wan who left Anakin to burn alive :(

[@thomasvillarde9529]

You can hear him say padme help me right as the mask seals him in his suit. It's heartbreaking to see him go and become Vader cold and calculating.

[@wuddupgangsta2759]

I saw this movie when I was little, this was the only scene I fully remembered

[@deadsaige]

The heartbeat that goes one throughout the entire procedue stops when the mask is finally put on, and it continues when he starts breathing. The Death of Anakin, The Birth of Darth Vader.
