It's really good, I highly recommend it!

[bartlebyscriviner]

"Padme... our son came to save me." Just something about this sentence itself absolutely destroys me, in the best way possible.

[darylsdesigns]

Even to this day this is a very sad but touching moment

[deadshot]

This is actually really sad to see Anakin crying as he remembers his mistakes

[Gamerafighter]

I think Padme would've been proud of Anakin for coming back to the light at the end; he could pass on knowing he did the right thing.

[sumone]

It is really sad that Anakin just noticed his mistakes. Right at the last moment. I really hope that he would even appear in starwars episode 9

[sdmiii]

"Padme our son came to save me" I don’t know why but that line always tugs on my heart strings.

[darthakaya]

Anyone else cried at Anakin's death in the movie? This comic is bringing back feels

[bluediamonddirector]

Vader's final thoughts: "I should have taken the high ground."

[KiritoAkira]

I really hope that Anakin at least can reunite with his wife in afterlife of the force, he believe he can't but no one really know nothing about the after life of the force even the Jedi.

[Jay]

Darth vader had a sad life, but at least he redeemed and thought of Padme. Great video

[thedarkknight]

The Dark is generous and patient and it wins most of the time, but at the heart of its strength lies it's weakness, one lone candle is enough to hold it back LOVE is more than a LOVE can ignite the stars.

[kalilallen]

I rlly do hope he was able to see Padme again

[JustinY.]

"Well, guess I'll just die"

[juzeku]

Mace windu’s thoughts as Palpatine Electrocuted him ???

[joshhernandez]

Who else feels bad for Vader, after watching this video?

[ScoutTrooperMan]

Vader may you rest with padme in the jedi afterlife

"Anakin!" A sweet voice called from the hall. "Anakin?" It called again. I looked away from the noon-day sun reflecting off the oceans of Naboo. Suddenly there in front of me was the love of my life, and my very lifeblood, Padame. "Ani? Did you hear me?" I gaped wide-eyed. Here she was. Standing right in front of me. Life, joy, and peace radiated around her. I slowly reached to brush a strand of hair from her face and felt her warm skin on my hand. I've missed Padame laughed, "Ani? What do you mean? No one has gone anywhere." But before I could answer, Padame grasped my hand and said, "Come, Luke and Leia will be waiting." I didn't try to stop her. She lead me through the place where we had stayed a long time ago, though this time there were children's paintings on the walls, and toys laying about. The sign of a happy and well cared for home. I walked into another balcony where 2 small children were playing on the floor. Once I came into the room, the boy ran to my side, and the girl went into her mother's arms. The boy excitedly said, "Father! Tell me another Jedi story!" I smiled and said, "Luke-- my son..." The girl cut in calling out, "No! Father, tell us about the wars and your padawan!" I smiled and said, "Leia-- my daughter..." Padame interjected saying, "Children, children, father can tell us everything. He won't be going anywhere!" She laughed joyfully and looked deep into my eyes. I caught her gaze, and instantly her joy turned to horror as the happy household melted away, with strangers carrying away our children far away. A new scene of a molten planet surrounded us. I watched as my love confronted an old version of myself. "Anakin, all I want is your love. Come away with me." She pleaded with tears streaking down her face. I watched on as Padame said, "I don't know you anymore... Anakin, you are breaking my You are going down a path I cannot follow... I love you." I watched devastated as the old Anakin ruthlessly began to choke the life out of Padame. When he finally let her go, she fell to the floor limp and broken. I then was suddenly with Padame as she breathed her last words. She shakily said, "I know... I know there is still good in him..." I fell to the floor hard and placed my hand on hers. Slowly it grew cold. "Oh Padame.... what have I done? What have I become?"

[violetvappy]

Id really like to see the dynamic of force ghost obi-wan and anakin explored a bit more. I feel like there's a lot of cool stuff you could do with that conversation-wise.

[Deity_devil]

In my headcanon padme becomes force sensitive when she was pregnant and she becomes a force ghost (for some reason) and her and anakin reunite
