Anakin's thoughts should've been:

"How could I have allowed myself to be fooled by that prune-faced bastard???"

"I should've let Mace Windu kill him when I had the chance."

"I should've listened to Obi-wan when he told me not to jump after him. I wouldn't be in that suit if I hadn't tried to kill him."

"If only I had taken Yoda's advice about letting go of my fears, Padme would still be alive and we would've raised our kids together".

"Chancellor Palpatine is a friend. I trust him"

[Rickiltrollencio]

Curiously in one of the books the surgery was very quick, was like put new limbs here, arms there, your apparatus and put on the suit, like sausage in the hot dog.

But in the novelization lasted at least a week 💀

Very dark description of Vader's transformation. Good video

[FrancisWilly]

Wait, so of Darth Vader couldn’t secretly get better prosthetics and a more comfortable suit without no apparent outward changes? He appeared to have so much autonomy as a Sith Lord in the original trilogy.

Anakin's thoughts, "I hate Mondays." .

[marywemigwase]

What insights! I never would have thought of! Ty for sharing

[tareknader]

I thank you for this video’😊 it pictures of Darth Vader‘s pain, suffering, and struggles. I Admire Vader. With all that struggles still manage to take the galaxy in the His grasp and spread fear throughout.

Gotta do a what if anakin didn't lose his limps but kenobi survived

[andreizaharie]

a sad storry... he was a selfysh child... so sad😢

[TF-vbus]

Vaders “redemption arch” in the original trilogy is the perfect example of why SW has always featured terrible writing and character “development”. Why people get so pissy and offended by new gen bad writing makes me chuckle. It’s always, since the 70’s, been Mary Sue centric bad dialogue bad writing cheap plot.

[lPHOENIXZEROl]

Anakin could've fixed it but he kept it as is because the constant discomfort helped fuel his anger and the power of the dark side.

[uriel_thetruth]

He was thinking “I should not have jumped”

[miguelarcangelolmedalopez]

So Palpatine puts Anakin in a prison because of his failure 😢😢😭😭

[TaraCicora]

'I messed up. None of this was what I had intended, f***!!!'

[SraMacaco]

Ugh, the description of Anakin’s damage and Vader’s purposely ill-fitting suit makes me feel physically sick to my stomach. We knew Palpatine was cruel, but how he could take such deliberate delight in inflicting so much constant pain is beyond comprehension.

That shot of Hayden in the bacta tank, staring out us with hate and fury in his eyes is hypnotic. I love that shot. Only he could have played that part with such intimate knowledge and conviction.

Great video!

This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:

The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.

The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew at your flesh.

You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.
You don’t even have lungs anymore.
Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.

Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?

And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain.
You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you.
Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous.

Padme? Are you here? Are you all right?

You try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat.

Padme? Are you here? Are you all right?

I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your anger, you killed her.

This burns hotter than the lava had.
No…no, it is not possible!

You love her. You have always loved her. You could never will her death.

Never.

But you remember…

You remember all of it.

You remember The Dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth…

And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no Dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.

That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.

You did it.

You killed her.

You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…

It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of The Dark Side, the final cruelty of The Sith —
Because now yourself is all you will ever have.

And you rage and scream and reach through The Force to crush The Shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were. You are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch The Shadow.
In the end, you do not even want to.
In the end, The Shadow is all you have left.
Because The Shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, The Shadow gathers you unto itself-
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.

This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.

Forever…

I remember in empire strikes back when you get that 1 quick look at Vader in his isolation chamber, not sure if he’s human or all machine.

[zeromusphoenix]

I have always wondered. Did force users feel what was going on, on mustafar? We know that Sidious did, what about Master Yoda, and surviving Jedi? What about regular people. Was the force shaking, sending out shockwaves? Stuff like that

Love the background music. Great channel!
