“A man whose love made him lose everything” that’s a really sad thing to think about, it sucks that because he cared and loved so much he lost everything

[@lily-annarees5777]

Definitely one of the most tragic story ever made. He was a slave his whole life: slave to the hutts when he was young, a slave to the Jedi, then a slave to palpatine. He had 20 years on the good side and 20 years on the bad side. Being a slave to the galaxy. This man truly lived a sad and tragic life. If only people believed in him more would he maybe have turned back earlier. Luke believed in his father and that helped him to let go from his hate and kill the sith. The last few minutes of his life he was no slave to the Jedi and no slave to the sith, he was his own man. This is one of the saddest stories ever. It always makes me cry Also just to point out when yoda said: “ fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering” Episode 1: fear Episode 2: anger Episode 3: hate Darth Vader: suffering So sad

Born slave to the hutts on a desert planet, "rescued" and enslaved by the jedi, more freedoms but still called someone master, then convinced to turn on them with the promise of power over life and death, only to still call someone Master. 20 years on the light side, 20 years on the dark side, being a slave to the galaxy. The Son of the Chosen One comes along and doesnt promise him anything, he just wants his father to come back, he wants the good side of Anakin to live again, for the single reason of bringing him back from his torture, he was even ready to die for it. In the end, the Son saved him, broke his chains and set him free from both the jedi and the sith, he was truly free for a few minutes of his life and those minutes were his last. Live as a slave, but die as a free man.

I just watched the phantom of the menace today. The older I get the more seeing a younger anikan hits me in the feels. Really is such a tragic story. To see darth Vader the cold blooded bad guy is one thing but to see a young hurt lost vulnerable boy with pure intentions get manipulated because of his fear of losing his loved ones is too deep. The older I get the more I really understand anikan a transition to the dark side is heart breaking. Everything that he did that pointed to him turning dark was all just situations of him being vulnerable and being human. Really gives a different meaning to the originals to see darth Vader still has little anikan heart deep down and redeemed himself.

There is an arc of Anakin Skywalker; a child born without a father, enslaved, found by a Jedi master who saw promise in a boy without a father. With Qui - gon Jinn, a Jedi who stood outside of the council, being the father Anakin never had. Being killed by Darth Maul, again left Anakin fatherless. Obi Wan, took up the mantle not as a father figure but as a brother. The saving grace for Anakin is the son he never knew. When Luke stands up to the emperor, and says, you are wrong, I am a Jedi like my father before me", and the emperor, hits him with the lightning, Luke saved the father, and the father saved the son, making Anakin the father he never had

I firmly believe under Qui Gon, Anakin would have been a very different person. No disrespect to Obi, he did as good a job as he could, but I completely agree with you. There were moments where he did refer to Obi as a father but, when you take a step back and look at them, it is more of a brother relationship. Where Qui Gon would have been that father figure he needed. Qui Gon was a rebel in his own right, he was constantly at odds with The Jedi Council. I believe once he was confident enough in Anakin that he wound not kill anyone, by not being able to control the force, he would have given Anakin alot more leeway. He would have tried to help Anakin with Padme, and I can say without any doubt Anakin wouldn't even dream of talking back to Qui Gon.

We all want to believe no matter how dark we might turn, we have the opportunity to be redeemed even up to our last act, and no matter how far we go to the other side. His story is about the power of love for both great good and tremendous evil. It exists within each of us.

[@pace_18]

Anakin's story is one of the best I've ever heard. a boy who was a slave from when his life began to losing hid mother, being rejected by the Jedi, being accept by the dark side, manipulated, force choke his own love, made the evil and cruel person we know as Darth Vader and most of all still a slave. He was the chosen one to bring balance and peace to the force and in a way that's what he did but his depressing story is just too good. George Lucas is a genius and I hate how so many people don't appreciate it

[@mrsl5514]

I agree that the story line of Anakin is great. However, I think it would have had much more of an impact with better dialogue, a more believable love story, and a more capable actor. We could also argue that the characters desperately needed more depth. Hayden has got the handsome and striking looks down but his delivery was painful. It was very hard to root for him when you were so annoyed because he came across as a crybaby. Glaring only gets you so far. It was made worse with really good actors, Natalie and Ewan, as his costars. Maybe part of the blame goes to Lucas for his bad directing? Carrie said that in "A New Hope" all George ever said was, "Again with more feeling." That is not very helpful if you are a newbie at acting. Anyhow, I digress. This is a fabulous video. I can tell how hard you worked on it. My only complaint is that the music is way too loud, I could just barely make out the dialogue. I'm hearing impaired though so that might make my opinion biased.

[@pace_18]

@@mrsl5514 i dont fully agree with hayden being a bad actor. i think he played ANAKIN better than anyone else could have. Anakin could have been anyone, and it would have been fine, anakin is such a flexible character, his whole nature is being unstable, naive, arrogant and so on... the character usually makes the actor, but in anakin's case, the actor made the character. kinda like johnny depp making jack sparrow. but i 100% agree that the direction and excecution of the story is fucking bullshit. like im actually so pissed that Lucas made such an unbelivably deep and rich story with such bad excecution. disney could do better! excecution let down the whole series. The saga has a backbone and skin, but no flesh.

[@englishlady9797]

Anakin was a victim of abuse nearly from birth. *He was a slave, he was beaten by Watto from the age of 4, or even younger*. He had to grow up in one of the most dangerous and violent planets in the Galaxy. He almost certainly had PTSD from a young age, and then his mother let him go in the hopes of giving him a better life, but he promised to come back and free her. A sensitive, vulnerable little boy who just wanted to help people. He was all but alone in a strange place, and they put him in the middle of a group of adults he doesn't know, who can apparently read his mind. Who just wanted to interrogate him. What did the Jedi do? Condemned him for having fear. Said he was dangerous for being afraid. *Of course he was afraid. Any 9 year old would be afraid in such a situation* Palmed him off on Qui Gon like an unwanted toy, then basically abandoned when the person who cared for him died. They could have just sent him home if they didn't want him, but no. They left him on Naboo with nobody. No money, no means of getting back. Then put him into the care of a man who didn't want him, who resented him and only took him on out of duty because of his Master's dying wish. The Jedi were neglectful, child abusing scumbags. Now I've got that off my chest, beautiful video.

In the end, all those around him had either died or were driven away. Ironic. He could save others from enslavement, but not himself. His coffin is the being you now know as Darth Vader.

[@coruscant100]

I feel the Jedi are pretty much responsible for Anakin's turn to the Dark Side. The moment he became a Jedi Padawan, the other Jedi looked down on him with disgust and never accepted him as one of them. Students mocked him for being a slave and bullied him. The Masters treated him with discontent and no trust whatsoever; especially Mace Windu. They never truly cared for him and treated Anakin more like a burden than one of them. They deliberately left him out of several secret plans like the Obi-Wan fake assassination for the reason of him being "reckless" when they know he's had issues losing loved ones in the past. They didn't want to help his mom and left her to suffer. Despite his heroics and actions during the Clone Wars, the Jedi never made him a Master and felt like he was still needing to be controlled and couldn't be trusted. They treated his Padawan like she was already guilty for the sake of public image and didn't fully back away from their mistake (although a few like Plo Kloon did) and made Anakin feel even more frustrated. They brushed all his concerns off and ignored a lot of the warning signs that culminated into the atrocity that is Darth Vader. Yes, Anakin made some bad decisions and Palpatine was a big part too, but ultimately the Jedi are the guilty party for what happened to him. They turned a slave who wanted to help the galaxy and was supposed to be the big hero into a monstrous being of hate and rage, and were slaughtered as a result of their arrogance, blindness, and treatment towards Anakin.

[@ronnellroyall9024]

Perfectly put. They sowed the seeds of discord between him and the council and it ultimately resulted in their demise. When they caused Ahsoka to leave the order after they failed to plead her innosence, Anakin lost a vital ally in his fight against the dark side. Its a story of betryal and i believe most would meet the same fate had they lived through the hardships hes had to live through. Fantasticly well written character.

[@missym877]

I love Anakin, he’s my favorite in the entire saga. But none of that warranted why he turned or did what he did. The Jedi were not horrible monsters to him, they had antiquated, dated rules but it’s an order and that’s typically how orders are when you pledge to them. The Sith were no different, he wouldn’t have been allowed to be with Padme as a dark lord, Sidious wouldn’t have allowed it because love would have been Vader tapping into the light side. Anakin’s turn is solely because he wanted to keep Padme from dying. Had he been made a Master, had he been allowed to be publicly married, he would have more likely still turned because of the manipulation and lie Palpatine told him that he could save Padme. People have to not blame his turn on really anything other than that. His love for her was so strong and his codependency on her was so strong, he was only going to do all that he could to keep her.

[@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960]

Stop justifying a guy who murdered thousands of lifes, Anakin is responsible for his own actions. Obi wan lost His Girl,His Master,His Best Friend and he never joined the dark side.

No it really wouldn’t have. Anakin didn’t turn out of any hatred or resentment by the Jedi. Sure Palpatine used their distrust to drive a wedge in Anakin and the Jedi...but Anakin ultimately turned and pledged himself to the dark side to gain the knowledge of saving Padme from death. Palpatine sold him on a lie that only being a Sith could he access those powers. So even if the Jedi trusted him, Anakin would have still had the visions of her death, and that would have still led him to desiring that power to save her.

Other people can affect the outcome of an individual's life. The individual bears the responsibility as a bottom line, but other people could be the difference between him staying anakin or throwing it away.

What I came to realize is … Vader only had a few seconds that clicked and he saw the true answer through his son and what he should be truly fighting for… damn When you been a slave your whole life and when you finally find peace from your flesh and blood … you’re gone …. Damn

When you lose everything, one after another, there comes a point when you've had enough and you need to release all your anger and pain from all the loss and suffering. Turning evil or to the dark side was easy for him.

i always found it crazy how palpatine went unnoticed when there was so many red flags around his character

[@Theforsakenmedia]

He kept the Jedi so wrapped up in the war that every time they got close to figuring out the link between Sidious and Palpatine they would get side tracked and Sidious was masterful at covering his tracks. I wrote a far more in depth analysis on why Sidious was so masterful at being unnoticed and how genuinely from the Jedi's perspective, there were tons of red flags that a very powerful Dark Lord of the Sith was pulling strings and attempting to destroy the republic. However, Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor did not have any red flags at all until he was about to expose his true Sith identity to Anakin.

[@rodentsaregreat2241]

I'll never forget, when he was Vader and he said to Luke " I am your father" his voice went from commanding to almost broken. I could hear the emotion in his voice. It gets me every time. Great acting too.

[@johnmorgan137]

The Jedi, and in particular Obi-wan, failed Anakin and caused his downfall. Obi-wan was more or less ignorant about the growing conflict in Anakin and did nothing to help him. Mace Windu could sense a great deal of conflict in Anakin, so why couldn't Obi-wan? And why didn't he do anything about it. I think on Mustafar when Obi-wan says "I have failed you Anakin", this is exactly what he realizes. He wasn't there for Anakin at the time when he needed him the most.

Fun fact, palpatine never lied to anakin while he was putting on the suit. Anakin did in fact kill padme in his rage, his anger and actions took away her will to live. He broke her heart and that’s how he killed her.

[@RoosterS2K]

Anyone who has watched all 7 seasons of The Clone Wars knows just how much deeper this video hits. Anakin struggled with so much more than just what's seen in this video. A fatherless child born into slavery and than enslaved by the Jedi to literally fight a war he did not understand. Thousands of deaths were on his hands long before he became Darth Vader -- all in the name of "peace". The corruption, the struggles with Padme and Rush Clovis, losing Ahsoka to the doubt of the Jedi Council, the list goes on. Everything he had ever known since birth was pain.

[@ivetacosta2870]

The child: Papa Who is darth vader? Former Imperial officer: Sit down Grandson. Let me tell you a story. Darth Vader was the most Feared being in the galaxy. He caused suffering throughout the galaxy. But what everyone did not know was that They were not the only ones sufffering.

[@andrewyang6221]

Great timing of the music at 8:19. You can actually see the moment when Palpatine plants the idea inside Anakin's mind (like an Inception moment when they talk about planting ideas) and the violins start playing as the idea of using the Dark Side to saves his wife starts manifesting in his mind.

I love that these tribute videos have often been using SC38 Reimagined. It's so much more fun to watch. (plus I watch a fanedit of ANH with SC38 Reimagined included, so that's the definitive version of the fight in my eyes)

[@TheSithlord187]

Everytime I watch RotS I just want to give Anakin a hug. He lost his father figure. His mother. His wife. He believed he lost his child. Was denied the rank of master. Was held back by the council. His padawan left him when he needed her the most. The only comfort he felt was with palpatine and he was being manipulated. So sad. The only thing he wanted was to protect his wife from dying, that he gave up everything to do so, and in the end still lost her. So damn sad!

[@mafiagrim]

He could’ve saved her mace was about to make him a master after he killed palpatine but when he entered the senate room things changed

[@jozefmasny8349]

He could have at least promised him the rank of master. Anakin didn't know for certain. From his point of view killing Palpatine meant killing Padme.

[@masonkarr4329]

This is such a *Powerful,* *Sad,* and *Poignant* story that everybody can get behind. We have all been there: wanting so *Desperately* just to be *LOVED* and *NEEDED* by somebody only to have them *Cruelly* taken away from us...Trying so hard just to fit in, but is then *forced* into being just another outsider. Anakin had *NO* options because he was *BORN* into slavery. Then he won his freedom, but was forced into another kind of *Slavery* by way of the *Jedi* who told him that emotions had to be suppressed. "Mourn them do not, miss them do not..." Is what he was told by *Master Yoda* when the young *Padawan* went to go get some help. To watch his *Mother* get killed by the *Tusken Raiders* had to be a huge blow to *Anakin* and then he had to go back and *pretend* like he was fine, but the *trauma* must have been overwhelming for the young man. When he then returned to the farm, his *adopted family* looked at him like he was a monster who didn't belong to them either. The War starts, he joins his Master, feels worry for *Padme* and is told to keep the feelings to himself or else be expelled. Can we really blame *Anakin* for being confused when both the *Sith* and the *Jedi* wanted to use him just to spy on each other? I would just want to *run away* and be with the one whom I really *LOVED* without the whole universe overwhelming me. Oh yeah, and... don't forget that we're in the middle of a war!!! The only person that treated him as a *Decent Human Being* was his best friend, *Captain Rex* who seemed to treat him like an *Equal* and seemed to be the only one to give *Anakin* the genuine *Respect* that I believe that he deserved. All I can say is poor guy, I totally *understand* you and wish that it *NEVER* happened this way.... 👲💖

The Story of Anakin & Darth Vader truly is the most tragic and emotional story ever witnessed in Cinematic History it's so sad Everytime I watch Revenge of the sith I'm just praying for an alternate ending.

Simple as that, Anakin needs to feel loved... And that love never last long - to father that he never had, and while he had an instant of this like Qui-Gon - Darth Maul killes him ; mother killed by sand people, and Padme - love that he need to hide before everyone, and in the end lost it because of fear of.. loosing the love

[@Livmylifelivi]

Yoda tried from the beginning then again and again to teach Anakin to let go of attachments and fear. His attachment and fear of losing loved ones was so strong that it caused his (and the galaxy’s) detriment and suffering, but also caused him to save his son in the end
