A great fighter, a great master, a great friend and a great JEDI - Anakin Skywalker

Star Wars is not about lightsaber fights or galactic shootouts. Star Wars is about Anakin's suffering ever since childhood. Losing everyone he loved along the way. There was no better way to portrait a fallen protector of the peace. Goodjob Lucas and good job SWFT for probably the best tribute to Anakin. A lot of tributes seem to leave Ahsoka out of the story, when in fact she was the perfect character to add depth to Anakin. If only could we get some shows or a movie that explores Davy Jones the same way Clone Wars did for Anakin, the world would be perfect.

@dexxfa7274

This has aged well

Like how you emphasised Ahsokas impact. Anakin tributes always seem so empty and lifeless without her. Pretty sure Lucas said she’s basically his little sister and he was keeping himself in check to be a good role model for her. It’s why Anakin in the show is more heroic and caring than in the movies. After she leaves Palpatine had him all to himself to corrupt. You can see his demeanour get darker in the last 2 seasons when Ahsoka isn’t around. It’s a nice setup for Revenge of the Sith. I’ve always liked the prequels but the Clone Wars is what really saved Anakin as a character. Added some much needed depth. I remember back in 2002-2008 he was considered an absolute joke in the fanbase and a disgrace to Vader’s legacy. Nice to see that perception change over the years with all these new fans who grew up with Clone Wars and the Prequels coming in. Really excited to see Hayden back in the Kenobi and Ahsoka show’s with the fanbase supporting him this time. Very satisfying for me as someone who’s always liked Anakin.

It would seem to me that his fate was sealed from the very beginning, everyone he ever loved and cared for was sadly taken away from him....

Ani I agree with what you said

The best story ever told. Like George Lucas said, STAR WARS is the story of ANAKIN SKYWALKER and his family. In my personal opinion star wats begins with episode 1 and end with episode 6. Of course star wars offers an entire galaxy of opportunity but nothing will be so powerful and deep and perfect like 1 to 6 saga.

A lot of people say Hayden isn’t a great actor but the way he portrayed Anakin was just perfect. Strong but insecure, lost, unsure of himself and naive. He was born to play the role and there won’t but another Anakin imo.

I challenge everyone to face the truth that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is both the best character and one of the greatest villains ever created over a long period of time for cinema (45 years or so). I'm not gonna lie - a tear fell down by the end. Can't wait for Kenobi series.

Why cut up a storyline that was so perfect and was then wrapped up perfectly? For me they don't exist in my mind. I don't care what anyone says, Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One and will be forever. Like George Lucas said, "It begins with Anakin and it ends with Anakin" FULL STOP

May the Force be with you.

Tell me Hayden Christensen is the best Anakin ever without telling me Hayden Christensen is the best Anakin ever this tribute:

The story telling, the edit. I got chills. FINE ILL REWATCH THE ENTIRE SAGA.

Best character in movie history

I just started watching Star Wars two days ago. I binged watched the original trilogy and the prequels. And wow. What an amazing tribute to The Chosen One. He was chosen to take down the Sith and that he did at the end. He fulfilled his destiny.

Anakin has been always been a warning tale with how to balance your emotions and use them correctly. I've definitely been where Anakin has been with my career and relationships. It's ok to feel those emotions he was feeling, but I never gave in to the dark side (definitely came close though once lol). It was important that I transmute that energy into something positive and practice the art of releasing. That's why Anakin has always been my favorite because his story is so relatable and also is a learning lesson.

this tribute helps show how anakin possibly could’ve never turned and had faith in him like Luke did which helped him turn back to the light, and yes I know obi wan had faith in him but he was still concerned about anakin, Luke had full faith that anakin had good in him which lead him back to the light, and also amazing tribute

Not many edits can make me shed as many tears as this one did, Anakins story is beautiful and tragic. It’s one I will never forget and I will always remember.

This video got me in tears, Anakin has one of the craziest but great cinematic story arcs, just a work of art.

Hands down the best tribute I've ever seen for Anakin. Wow.

The most iconic villian story in movie history

For me, being trully, anakin skywalker/darth vader Story/arc is not only the Best story of star wars, but the Best story of all the movies and series of all the time, i Love star wars

I love Anakin he’s literally the best character, mask or not, angry or toddler, I love him so much he’s so good at acting!! 😭

I really enjoyed the emphasis of how he hates the Jedi when he's doing Order 66. Also including the loss of Ashoka was important to show how much of an opening that left for Anakin to be manipulated by Palpatine. Also the way Luke turns Vader back to the Light Side was perfectly captured with the reflection of his downfall to the Dark Side. I loved it hope to see more awesome work.

This edit made me realise that Anakin is one of my favouite characters from my cinematic experience 0:55 transition is breathtaking

I used to think so too, but now that I’m older I think he had to. The Jedi in the story were politicized, controlling, and literally blind. They themselves were turning because they had been in positions of power for so long unquestioned. The order couldn’t go on the way it was and losing their system and power ended up allowing the real good to come out in the Jedi!

This was beautiful! Gave me goosebumps almost every transition! Keep up the outstanding work.

It’s not regarded in how many people Luke Skywalker loses throughout his story. It’s just as bad, if not worse than the lives that Anakin had to lose. Worse because of his realization that his own father killed so many important people in his life. In that way, Luke is truly stronger than Anakin was . He had more conviction and more bravery than his father. He wasn’t stronger in the force, but his strength was stronger in his heart, mind and soul.

Absolutely 100% amazing, if you technically think about it, he did bring balance to the force

In my eyes, Anakin represents all of us. The fear, the greed, the hate. We all know it too well. But we’re good people, influenced by the sick, cruel world that we live in. The horrible reality that consumes our conscience every day. Anakin fell victim to the dark side. Just as we fall victim to the influences that surround us, every day, thinking that we are the ones that know the truth. But the truth is, the darkness consumes us all, without our knowledge. The dark side is as powerful as they say it is.

making grown men cry. seemed long only cause memories came rushing in and just re-experiencing it all

Absoultely beautiful. Couldn't have shown us Anakin's journey in a better way.

Who would of thought when watching ANH for the 1st time that this incredible story would come of it. Such a huge universe with so many amazing characters and character arcs that i could talk about for days. In my eyes star wars is a poetry, a heartbreaking tragedy, an absolute timeless masterpiece that should be enjoyed again and again for years to come! The story of the rise, fall and redemption of the greatest character to be written, that there is always hope and even the worst people can come back into the light. Master anakin skywalker/darth vader. Played by Dave prowse, James earl Jones and hayden christensen. The saviour of the galaxy. The chosen one. 🙏

Star Wars: The best written story of all time

Anakin is truly the chosen one. By killing all the Jedi and Palpatine he brought balance to the force. The Jedi had forgotten what it had meant to be a Jedi and only focused on the war not knowing that they have died by the hands of fate and Palpatine. Then Anikan and killed his master to save his son. That was the moment that there was true balance in the force.

THIS is canon. What a masterpiece
