The Chosen One | Remastered

[@HeroesFanProductions]

Thank you all for watching and for the overwhelming positive support. This tribute means a lot to me and this channel and I knew before starting this project that it needed to elevate and add to the original, otherwise I wouldn't do it at all. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to bump into 2hooks Music and their incredible remix of the iconic Tessa soundtrack used in the original Chosen One tribute. After their blessing and partnership, I decided to integrate their track into this tribute and the rest was history. I'm so proud of how this turned out, and I have amazing people like @davidburgess (An amazing graphics artist here on KZbin) and 2Hooks Music who added towards the quality of this tribute. Most importantly, I have all of YOU to thank for. You guys are the best followers any creator could ask for. Thank you so much for sticking with me after all these years, sharing your comments, liking, sharing and spreading positivity within this wonderful fandom. I couldn't have done it without you. If any of you would like to get to know me better apart from this channel and watch me play games & react/discuss movies & TV shows, I have another separate channel called "Matoose" here on KZbin. It's a channel that predates "HFP" and is a place where I just have fun and talk about things I love such as Movies, TV shows, and video games. The Channel is HERE - www.youtube.com/@Matoose If any of you care to join me, feel free! It's a great buffer of content while you all wait for my next project here on HFP. I'll see you there! May the Force be with You, Always.

[@ace9924]

22. He was 22 when he turned.

[@Shark_King325]

He technically did balance the force like the prophecy said. He destroyed almost all Jedi and almost all Sith. By the end before he dies, there is 1 Jedi and 1 Sith left. Even the non canonized sequels show that they still haven’t been able to grow past their minuscule numbers. It created a balance where neither Jedi nor Sith have too much power, numbers or influence.

[@angerami77]

That's not what balance means

[@angerami77]

[@tbountybay3080]

It's not sad. Only what that idiot did and let himself become is sad. Disloyal and arrogant. It's lame how so many act like he's either so cool or some victim. 2:17 Did he care deeply about his friends?

[@HektorsektorOG]

@@tbountybay3080 Agreed

[@based4560]

@@tbountybay3080 Sure, the suffering he inflicted was by his own choice. But he was never heard or listened to by the Jedi, he was manipulated by Palpatine, he was forced to be what the Jedi and Sith wanted him to be and he was never trusted at all. That led him to do the actions he did.

[@tbountybay3080]

@@based4560 A villain inflicts the pain he feels onto others. A hero does what he can to prevent others from having to experience the same hurt. Revenge versus protector. Don't give me that "The Joker and Hitler are b@da$$, dude." stuff. We all suffer and get damaged in one way or another. But do we try to love goodness and hate destructive negativity and feel empathy too instead of closing off into our own little bubble and just caring about our own feelings as if that is the only thing that matters. Our feelings DO MATTER, but humility matters. Others' pain matters.

[@based4560]

Yeah, he was able to overcome his attachment to the dark side and saved his son and the entire galaxy.

[@tbountybay3080]

To get to the point of killing children and then abusing your wife and then trying to kill your own brother more than once. Then trying to kill your padawan more than once. Then being the equivalent of a space Hitler for years and years. Not using his own mind to come to conclusions and put forth effort to think... but just totally buying into what Palpatine promoted 100%. Embracing torture and arrogance and selfishness and impatience. What a character. Poor Anakin. 🥲 Woe is him. He was the real victim.

[@based4560]

@@tbountybay3080 You do realise he grew up as a slave, was forced to be a puppet of the Jedi and the Sith, was forced not have relationships and be human. And yes that doesn't justify his cruel actions, but it gives you context on why he did it and how ihe was both a victim and an oppressor

[@tbountybay3080]

@@based4560 It's rare that ANYONE either didn't have a difficult past or has crazy disadvantages in their life. But 2 main points. 1. Accountability. Why didn't he ever check himself? Admit he's going full berserk and reckless? For example, an addict can have their weakness and relapse and that's normal, but to not even try and not even admit any fault and turn themselves around one day at a time is not cool. 2. Making others' lives suck! Nobody has the right to continually make others' lives a living hell just because they are damaged and unwilling to do the inner-work. For example, he made Obi-Wan's life SUCK! With your reasoning, Obi Wan was repaid with bad for good and should have said "screw it, no one matters and I'm gonna lash out." People have done beautiful things in this world because they took their own suffering as a roadmap on how to help similar people.

[@tbountybay3080]

@@based4560 "was forced to be a puppet of the Jedi and the Sith" is simply not true. You say he was a slave, but then you imply that the Jedi freeing him from slavery is a forced puppet? You're just yoga-stretching it to make it fit 😂He had a brain and ability to reason and clearly didn't use it. Oooh he was smart and cunning and influencial when he was Vader. Where was that when he was learning from the Jedi and the Sith? Apparently the brains of Patrick Star and Homer Simpson combined. You see things in black and white, dude. That kind of all or nothing thinking gets people to justify not taking personal accountability.

[@samalfiiii]

The fact that when Anakin takes off his helmet to look at Padme's grave with his own eyes in the "Fallen Angel" short film, he can't breathe without his helmet, but at the thought of not being with her, he can't breathe anyway. So it doesn't matter to him. Not anymore.

[@HaydenWerren]

All important figures in Anakin’s life that he lost and yet still played significant roles in his tragedy: Qui-Gon (the one who believed in him as the Chosen One and could’ve been his father figure) Shmi (his mother whose death sprung his first steps to the dark side) Ahsoka (his own apprentice that never gave up on him yet abandoned him when he needed her) Obi-Wan (his master and brother who practically raised him and failed him when he turned) Padme (his wife who was the catalyst for his turn to the dark side but in her final moments she believed there was good in him) But finally Luke, his son, was the catalyst to bring him back to the light and set him free.

One of the most tragic things about Anakin’s fall, is when his friends and family were literally told/shown what Anakin would become, no one could believe it. Because they didn’t want to believe it.

DUDE! This perfectly encapsulates the story of Anakin Skywalker! The image of Padme dying is such a good catalyst for Anakin to finally turn against the Jedi, and THEN TO SEE THE TURMOIL THAT ALLOWS HIM TO REJECT PALPATINE! Masterful storytelling, get this man a job at Lucasfilm already!

The man who sacrificed everything to lose everything.

[@RealSkutti]

His mother, dead His student, left him His loved one, gone forever For his brother, he grew hatred against him His home, burned to ashes His friends, murdered by himself His beliefs, used against him His soul, corrupted by anger and fear His hopes and dreams, destroyed forever From this young boy, who had dreams to become a jedi, to free slaves and bring freedom across the galaxy. Who`s destiny was to be the strongest and the most powerful jedi ever, so he could bring peace to the galaxy and balance to the force. He was a happy man with a wife, and was about to become a father. But his beliefs forbiddet him. And nightmares about losing his loved one, made him to make a deal with a demon. Because of his fears, fears that drove him into despair, he lost everything he ever loved and dreamed of. And his own anger, took his beloved one from him. And his hate towards his brother, who always loved him, was his downfall. And he was left behind burned and destroyed. Only leaving behind a shell of a man, who's soul was filled with pain, fear, hate and suffering. But the demon that he made the deal with, was the only one left, whom he would return to. But he was no longer the same man he used to be. He became cold, dark, unforgiving, ruthless and feared across the stars and one of the most feared man in the galaxy.The right hand, the puppet of the emperor. A slave of the dark side. For years, his only purpose was only to bring chaos, fear, suffering and death. For he had nothing. No love, no hope and no reason to live. Only serving his master. And punishing himself with anger and hatred towards himself. But... when he heard about his son. He felt something. Something that he forgot many years ago. He felt... hope. And love for his son, through a great sacrifice, he defeated his nightmares and demons. And brought balance back to the force, like he was meant to do. For his entire life, he was a slave. Slave to the Hutts, slave to the Jedi's code and slave to the dark side. But in the end, when looking his son, with his own eyes, he was no longer a slave. He was free. He was called with many names. Son, student, husband, master, friend, brother, father. He was, Anakin Skywalker. The chosen one....

This is beautiful but I still prefer the ending to the original of Anakin telling Luke "You were right, tell your sister you were right" about there still being good in their father and how Anakin was still somewhere inside Vader

[@Collin4486]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@l30nard03]

Amazing 🤩 Anakin/Darth Vader are one of my favorite characters ever in fiction. ❤

[@VimRaider]

"I've been looking forward to this." Ever since you announced it, in fact. An amazing remaster!

[@spyrofrost9158]

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones.

When I felt myself falling into active alcoholism I became obsessed with Darth Vader and these types of videos on KZbin. I related his fall to the dark side to my fall to alcoholism. I used to be like young Anakin in the Phantom Menance, a bright happy young boy full of dreams and now I was a man where I could see my life slowly start to fall apart, being in a state of either drunk or hungover, the dark side changing me into a bitter, sarcastic, angry, restless, depressed person. Anakin losing his wife through his own failures was a metaphor for my failing marriage (note I wasn't physically abusive like Anakin) and I was pushing her away. I would get wasted drunk and watch these 'fall to the darkside' videos over and over again and just cry. I'm happy to say I'm 2 years sober next month and I'm thriving. I literally chose the light side and every single moment I'm full of this all encompassing Buddha-like joy and wellbeing. "You were right, tell your sister you were right"

[@emperornikolai4589]

“It’s Skywalker!” You Mfing right!! That’s our boy!!

[@Axel-gv1bs]

Whenever I fell into the Star Wars mood I would always return to this video and seeing it remade like this and built upon the previous stuff that was already amazing makes me so happy and I can't wait to spend another 7 years returning to this video as well

[@gavmangmz1]

With the depressing state that Star Wars is in now, it's comforting to go back to this video every once in a while and remember the series that I fell in love with. Incredible job my friend. Thank you for making this.

[@stephanit480]

Anakin is a true hero!! The greatest in all of media history!!

[@Govant]

The original was a masterpiece This is even better! Wow. Mind blown. So good! This captures the story of the Star Wars movie saga in ten minutes what the Sequels struggled to do over three movies.

[@JaromLybe]

Thank you! Honestly I believe this is one of the great videos on KZbin! This is emotional, hopeful, inspiring and truly encapsulates George Lucas’ vision for Star wars and the Story of Anakin! Thank you Brother!

[@TempleRevolutionProject]

Man, the first one was amazing. This is incredible. I love it. Well done. Moved me to tears. Truly captures the heart of the story. Thank you

[@ForceWales]

Anakin returning to save Luke with the editing here is honestly mentally good - great effort

[@TheRevenant4585]

I love that you ended it with Qui-Gon saying “You will find another way”. He knew that no matter what happened, in the end Anakin would still make the right choice. Qui-Gon was always Anakin’s true master and the father figure that Anakin needed and looked up to. He believed in Anakin till the very end, even after death, as a Force entity. “I believe you bring balance to the force and save the universe.” It’s unfortunate that Qui-Gon got cut out of the picture so early. I truly believe that under his guidance, he and Anakin together would probably have discovered and foiled Sidious’s plans much sooner and avoided the destruction of the jedi.

[@AudienceReactions]

Thank you for showing us Anakin Skywalkers story. I feel like i don't have to explain anymore why he is my favorite character, I could just show them this video. This made me cry like a baby because I know the pain, the suffering, the lose of someone you love...i sometimes feel like i am living Anakin's life but I will not turn into the dark side. Thank you again for this beautiful video. - Menny

[@bobbyherrera6979]

[@julleestream652]

The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is and will always be the greatest and saddest part in fiction, nothing truly tops it!
