i love how this is both heroic and villainous at the same time which is perfect considering that Anakin was both of those.

[MariG]

Ironic that Anakin told Padme that love won’t save you….
Yet love…the love of his son is exactly the power that saved him.

[gaigemcdonald]

I will still say Darth Vader is the number one best cinematic movie villain with the best backstory

[clairemadeinheaven]

For clarification to those who think Anakin and Vader are different people: Anakin and Vader being different is part of the lie. It's what Anakin tells himself (to cope), what Obi-Wan tells himself, and what Palpatine tells Anakin. "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did." "He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader." "The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi."

It's only Luke who refuses to accept the lie and continues to call him father and Anakin. This is partly what leads to Anakins redemption. "You were right about me."

Anakin Skywalker is the greatest fictional character ever written and made

[PapaEdgar]

This was incredible grew up loving anakin as a kid could relate a lot to him as a kid. Anakin is star wars and what makes it amazing. The GOAT ❤️

[tainoman]

The Jedi, The Sith, The Man, The Chosen One

[Solocase]

Anakin genuinely has the best story ever. He’s not pure evil or pure good. He’s just trying to do what’s right

[hassanmasood]

Anakin Skywalker is the GOAT of Star Wars. He’s the pure definition of Light and Dark. He’s lost way too much in his life: Qui Gon, his mom, Ahsoka leaving, his wife. The Jedi never understood his feelings and everything took a toll on him and made him go down a path that would change him for 20 years.

[powerdroidgirl]

The meme is correct, the entire saga is indeed his spin off!😍

This part hits different, it’s like when Palpatine is offering Anakin a whole new personality for him to join the dark side, at the same time, Obi Wan and Ashoka are trying to bring him back to the light side, by calling his name, in a desperate attempt to save him. But after failing, Palpating gives him a new name and identity, mentally gaslighting him into believing that Anakin Skywalker is not within him anymore.

[jackpringle]

One of the best cinematic characters of all time. Played by the underrated Hayden Christensen. I don’t care what anyone says- nobody could’ve played that part any better than Hayden and he was tailor made for the role!

[maximiliangrimborg]

”You will be known as… Anakin. Anakin. Darth… Vader.” Brilliant 🥹🥰

[Jimmithi]

Born in 95 and being a Prequel kid, things like this are as close to time machines to my childhood that I’ll ever get. Thank you

[tinya.r]

You have no idea how happy I was when I saw Force Ghost Anakin at the series finale.

[daniellevy]

Incredible! Anakin's arc is often overlooked and overshadowed by "oh he's so cool!" But he truly has one of the best arcs in all of fiction.

[platanito]

I think we can all agree that Darth Vader is the best villain in history 🖤

[JediTemplom]

This is so huge, and arguably the best up to date Anakin Skywalker edit. Completely catches his divine role, that Ahsoka series built too. I only missed some old Ben Kenobi footage or a cut where Kenobi flashback Anakin hits ObiWans saber with anger, but otherwise it was 99%!

[matthewdeguire]

I hope Hayden Christensen sees this. Such a good edit, captures perfectly the complexity and inner conflict Anakin struggles with, along with this role as the chosen one. I love the bit where we see broken mask Vader while Luke says "I am a Jedi, like my father before me.". I actually teared up at that moment.
