This canon makes more sense to me than the Legends version, Anakin was a person of overwhelming willpower, he certainly had the heart of a Sun Dragon.

I always imagine he was in a huge amount of pain while hearing all of them.

It’s understandable that Anakin had a strong need for control, he always felt like he was being used and controlled by others, Watto, the Jedi, and Palpatine. Obi Wan and the Jedi had been too controlling towards Anakin, and they made him feel like a tool rather than a person.

The Jedi had been too controlling back then, and it was a mistake for them to take infants into the Order since it deprived of them of their right to choose that life for themselves, Yoda realized that after the Jedi purge.

This has always been one of the most beautiful scenes in Star Wars to me

This was a powerful video. I thank you just to hear Anakin’s last thought was wonderful.

I like the story of Obi-Wan helping him become a force ghost. It shows humility

[robertrhea]

This story also retcon's part of the original version of the Return of the Jedi novelization. In the original version Anakin wishes he could have known Yoda, and thanked him for training his son. It also had Sidious mimicking Yoda's speech pattern - so even had some inconsistencies internally.

Outstanding Video!
One of the best I’ve ever watched.
Nicely. Done. Sir.
😎👍

The only thing that I don't like about this story is the fact that in his final thoughts, he didn't think about Padme. She was the only reason why he did this in the first place. Like all of a sudden, he's going to stop thinking about the woman that he loves and never think about her again, not even when he's about to die... yeah, I don't believe that. He never thinks about Padme when he's thinking about his children nothing this is so wrong. She is the core reason of his hate and darkness and I'm truly surprised more people don't realize this

"one person alone can't burn down the galaxy". Well two can, and did. I hate the idea of his "redemption". Good to know I can be a mass murderer and as long as I look out for my own kid it's all good.

My guess is thank God I get to be hot again!!

I would like you to explain what the word canon means as its labeled in all of your videos.

As far as I know the only works which are canon are the films produced by Lucas, The Clone Wars animated TV show, and the films produced by Disney.

Even the novelization of The Clone Wars and the films aren't considered canon.

How you gonna do all this destruction with no accountability or consequences after you die??? 😅

Fandom: "Rey's a Mary Sue that can do defeat Palpatine with no training!"
Anakin: "Survives Death with no training"
Fandom: "Anakin's so great!"

Disney canon is trash they unalived star wars. Legends is all there is as far as im concerned
