Darth Vader - Hurt

Darth Vader's story throughout the Star Wars saga.

Music: Johnny Cash - "Hurt"

There are a few of these out on the internet, I just wanted to make a nice clean definitive cut.

Thanks everybody for all the kind comments and likes. I really appreciate them!

my empire of dirt.. damn that's deep when considering he hates sand...

[carsoncasmirri]

He wasn't some iron handed maniac who enjoyed the suffering he inflicted. He was a man who destroyed all he ever cared about and who up until the last years of his life had almost nothing to loose. He was truly dead inside

[blacksun]

"What could you hate enough to destroy me?"

"Myself."

I feel stupid for not seeing how utterly perfect this song is for Anakin now. It should have been so painfully obvious! Wonderful video.

[SnowingAsh]

I love how some of the things Johnny Cash says matches what's happening in the video.

Funny how Everyone I Know Goes Away In the End basically fits Star Wars.It is actually really dark and deep when you really watch it.From Qui Gon to Revan in OR.

[KateMW]

Boba: What're you in for?

Vader: Everything...

[Helplessriver]

Padme's gasp for Anakin, "crown of thorns" as darth's helmet is lowered onto him. Perfect

[Boofus]

I listen to this while Palpatine isn't watching me

Flipping chills at 0:15 when Vader kills Obi-Wan as Cash says "I hurt myself..."

The song says "I hurt", but the words and the visuals show - Vader and everyone around hurt because of what they do to each other and what they let other people do to them.

Vader really hurt himself by killing Obi-Wan. The people who really hurt do it to themselves. That's why they hurt more.

Vader has to choose to not hurt. That only comes when he chooses right.

A man who lost everything he held dear by his own hand. A man who gave into anger, who succumbed to hate, and suffered more than any other. A man destined to save a galaxy, becoming its chief enslaver. A man gifted with great power, squandered and lost it. A man who crossed the fires of Mustafar to save his beloved, killed her and burned on that very planet. A man saved by his son, who only wanted to look at him with his own eyes before becoming one with the Force. Anakin Skywalker

This entire fan vid is just perfect and so emotional all the way through, but the fact that the *only* bits of dialogue you included are Padme whispering "Anakin" and Luke calling out "Father, please!" is incredibly effective, not to mention utterly brilliant. This whole thing brings me close to tears, but those parts slay me. It's like their voices are an echo across the stars, calling him back to his True Self.

almost a decade later and this still makes me cry

[j-skullz]

Always thought this song fit Anakin perfectly but then I noticed like a million people already thought of it. Great video!

[OrinDac]

I wrote this in my head five years ago. Right down to him cutting off Luke's hand at "I will make you Hurt." and him striking down Obi-Wan right at the beginning to "I hurt myself today." You've made it into what I'd seen then, but somehow better. Thank you,

[Ethan]

The fear of losing the one you love. Very powerful seeing Padme towards the end and seeing what he had become.

[Crazed_lunatic]

Damn that was in the feels big time this song fits Vader

[DRer]

Great job a fitting song by Johnny Cash tells how Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace to the darkside.

[rivve]

Perfect doesn't begin to describe how I see this video.

[brandonmedina]

2:54 this line is perfect because he's offering everything to Luke in this scene and the lyrics reflect that perfectly
