The Birth of Darth Vader

[shiz777]

I can actually feel the pain in his heart

[DESTINED2OWN]

Can anybody tell me what the name of the music is at 2:30 ? PLEASE

[KILLERCRABS1ZERO]

man this suit smells like burnt ass.

[marmalademan07]

The same music is played at 2:35 as Episode 1 when Qui Gon is being cremated

[gahoolefan93]

Vader"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O!!!" Emperor"...yes"

[Imaperson165]

when Darth Vader takes off his mask in Episode VI he looks like he has cancer.

[OHBOYKID316]

@Imaperson165 He looks like he was burnt -_-

[macara]

It seems like they didn't know the anesthesia.

[henrylei8]

Awesome

[skylinebc]

@ 2:22 , that high pitch whistle sound would make a cool text tone but what would that be called? Whistle?

[beauferret]

Most people applauded when Vader starting breathing for the first time, but for me it was when Vader spoke for the first time in that deep Iconic voice.

[threadysparrow]

@beauferret james earl jones is a fucking boss. and a period at the end of that sentence.

[greigrocks1]

The minute he started breathing, I got goosbumps, sad I know, but, still one of the greatest ever moments in movie history

[MrBurgundy76]

3:49 to the end is fucking genius

[AntiJewishCommunist]

it was one of those scenes who touches me...

sadness... and most important of all... epicness...!

[FalloutCOGDude]

2:20 sends chills down my spine

[CyberkillGames]

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We can make him stronger, faster, better.

[kdaalder]

@RDarth its the same actor

[RDarth]

@kdaalder

I know but he doesn't look like that in real life.

[kdaalder]

RDarth it's the same actor

[RDarth]

3:05 it still amazes me that Palpatine looked EXACTLY like he did in 1983. My hat's off to makeup crew.

[OHBOYKID316]

@RDarth I noticed that too... I thought i was the only one!

[Fbiguy]

1:59 no glove on right hand. 2:48 voila.

[Shadeknight3712]

@Fbiguy Yeah, my guess is the probably put the glove on while they were putting everything else on that wasn't there before. Like the helmet. And the other arm and legs.

[kriklan49]

Hayden Christensen acts much better in that suit, doesnt he?

[chrisx665]

just epic

[MultiverseGamingPro]

when he says nooo!!! why does it sound like it was cut off?

[MoltenPlastic]

So, how long will this thing take to build?

17 years.

[Justin2352]

i thought this was one of the best scenes in all the franchise (and still do) but after playing the video games and observing vader's power as portrayed in there and palpatine's power to launch platforms and the fact vader had more mitochondrians than yoda, i think they should have made this scene much more destructive.

[chloekakariko]

@Justin2352 lol, you mean mitichlorians? mitochondria are organelles.

[Justin2352]

@chloekakariko lmao...hahaha...ya was half concentrating while typing...star wars nerds for the win. lol

[KhedK]

0:00 to 3:10 PERFECT

3:00 to 3:24 this feel out of character =S

3:24 to 3:42 now, that is badass

adn then...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO xDDDD

in the cinema everyone LAUGH with that silly scream xD

[ghofspa1]

@KhedK It wasn't out of the character. He had just become Darth Vader, part of him still was Anakin Skywalker at that point.

[Shicbs]

It's kind of ironic, if you think about it, the original trilogy portrays Darth Vader as a consensus of darkness, an evil, calculating, merciless man, who lacks patience. Basically, the greatest villain ever made.

L" Things are always seen in a perspective ". It tells the story of Anakin, and makes Darth Vader look more like a tragic victim. And to this day, I dont understand the motivation of Anakin, when Padmé died. Still, a I'm a bit more of the old Star Wars, even though I was born in '91

[franknsteeny]

@Shicbs really what else does he have to do, if he trys to leave the emporer he'll probably be killed by him, and even if he does succead then what, his lovers dead, the only people who took him in are either dead (the jedi) or think he is a monster and can never forgive him(obi,organa,yoda) so there really is no other option than wait for palpatien to die so he can take over

[Videogamer3692]

@GameBusterZero It wasn't from losing the hand; he was still alive when he saves Luke, obviously. Oh, right.....THE ELECTRICITY. When he picked up the Emperor, he GOT ZAPPED. HIS ENTIRE BODY, GOT ZAPPED WITH ELECTRICITY, AND MOST OF HIS BODY WAS MECHANICAL. Can you add 1 + 1?

[mandalorian9]

@Videogamer3692 LOL dude you made my day I can now go to sleep with a grin on my face

[Videogamer3692]

@Videogamer3692 Um, thanks? Just trying to educate the poor fool

[rosario508]

It was worth putting up with the Phantom Menace and Clone Wars just to arrive to this moment.

[Frankcastle522]

I still don't understand why the emperor saved vader. His purpose was served, the jedi were dead. The prophecy was still there that Anakin would bring balance to the force and Sidious knew that being the only two force sensitive people would mean trouble if his apprentice lived. The plot point in the cannon is not sufficient for me to buy any humanitarian interest in the emperor's actions so why save the man that could kill you?

[P3WNAGE]

@Frankcastle522 "Always two there are. No more...no less. " - Jedi Master Yoda

But then again, perhaps Palpatine shrugged off the prophecy, interpreting it as the Sith bringing in the balance, eliminating the "light" side of the force and replacing it with "darkness". Unless you haven't researched it yet(or lack a social life like I do), it is a Dark Sider tradition for the Apprentice to kill his Lord/ Master, a final rite to Supreme Sith Lordship. In other words: "Klingon Promotion".

[Frankcastle522]

@P3WNAGE Possibility I suppose, but if Palpentine was willing to let two of his previous apprentices die, why not the third, he said to yoda Vader will become more powerful then the both of us. Why not let him die if he suspected Anakins power to keep growing?

[Capabalanca]

@Frankcastle522 then there'd be no jedi to become his apprentice then?

[mandalorian9]

@Frankcastle522 The Emperor had always intended for Darth Vader to remain his apprentice. When Anakin was mortally wounded at Mustafar Palpatine knew he had an even better opportunity with Anakin than before: he would have a powerful apprentice that, due to his apparent limitations in his suit would never be able to overpower him and therefore he would always remain in control (and alive). Darth Vader admits this in ROTJ to Luke (and numerous times in EU), and Palpatine is...cont'd

[mandalorian9]

@Frankcastle522 ...and Palpatine is always looking for replacements (Luke, Starkiller, etc.) that would eventually become his true apprentice. The emperor frequently reminds Vader that he will be useful until he finds another more powerful than him.

[Frankcastle522]

@mandalorian9 Possibly I suppose, now I am not as familiar with Star Wars as I think you are but is the Starkiller part cannon or is that expanded?

[mandalorian9]

@Frankcastle522 Its cannon

[gliderpilot99]

Nearly the best scene

[noisperiamobene]

Anakin had become Darth Vader betrayed the Jedi and the force and betrayed his master killed his wives my hair get up when I saw all this.

[shadowblade483]

3:43 best line in the whole of star wars

[smashbros4ever]

This movie should have ended RIGHT after Vader took his first breath in the mask. It would emphasize that already powerful moment, which is what the entire prequel trilogy was leading up to anyway. Fade to black, roll credits with Imperial March playing instead of the usual upbeat theme. Perfect lead in to the original trilogy, and also nullifies any horrendous "NOOOOOO!!!" scenes.

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

"By the way Lord Vader, the surgeons had informed me that with your extensive burns you could never be rid of the suit"

"Not even when I want to get laid?"

"About that... they also told me your reproductive organ is gone"

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

[reacter77]

darth vader breaks out

emperer backs away like OH SHIT XDXD



[Digman2012]

I think Lucas should have preserved the identity of Vader for people to figure out later in Episode V. Instead of showing Anakin in surgery, he should have just had the last scene on the Star Destroyer, maybe having the Officers saying "Its the Emperor's new apprentice" or something. It seems untrue to the series to reveal it twice.

A few other edits should be cutting down the Duel on Mustafar, a few dialogue changes, removing "will to live", and fixing that atrocious space battle.

[333MJH]

I remember watching this in the cinema, the moment he breathed his classic Vader breath the whole cinema erupted into applause.

[mandalorian9]

@333MJH When I went the whole audience was too sad and awestruck to do anything but watch... Epic movie.

[misterunknownify]

@333MJH Amazing

[KungVanargand]

they nailed Tarkin pretty good too! :-D

[canadianbaconbro]

"darth vader, they've added extra footage of you to the blu-ray version"...."NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

[neji161718]

this is the birth of darth vader and this video just have 9931 views WTF?

[myf0lk]

@neji161718 its over 9,000!!!

almost 11,000 now :)

[AverageMexican234]

Probably the best scene in the whole prequel series.

[MrManicPanic]

@AverageMexican234 Not even probably. Just, the best

[nikoelbkn1]

WHY ANAKIN...¡WHY!

[M15577]

I wonder who the peter cushing look alike was.

They did a good job, his cheeks are spot on.

[ikeharrypotter]

Poor Anakin

[kdaalder]

Anakin is such a loser

[Jazze64]

Goosebumps at 3:20 " She was alive, I FELT IT! " *Rage* -> "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[LucasDarkGiygas]

2:24 - My hair stand up.

[ianapeixoto1]

this is my favorite episode!! thrilling!

[jrmendoza7]

Did James Earl Jones do the voice for Vader in this as well?

[MopHairedGit]

@jrmendoza7 yeah mate, he does (i think ) :)

[MopHairedGit]

its almost worth watching the whole prequel trilogy just to hear the first iconic breath vader takes upon first wearing that mask :O

[Staccet]

@MopHairedGit You said it mate

[starlionblue]

Does anyone think this would have looked much better without the dry ice smoke effects? I think Vader's appearance is spooky enough that they don't need to "enhance" the scene. After all, he was voted among the five most evil people to ever grace the movie screen.

[markydavfc]

Truly historic

[TheRello99]

If this isn't symbolic, I don't know what is. I mean...its the birth of one of the most iconic villians of all time.......besides Bush

[SUPERBIOBROS]

Anakin was Gay Darth Fener is pure hate!

[DarkBenny84]

@exposed97 whitch one and what scene?

[cynder167]

@exposed97 Reminds me of frankenstein....only darker

[Silenced140]

@cynder167  That's exactly what I thought. Perhaps Frankenstein was the inspiration for this.

[SuperGalaxys]

2:29



[NemesisLooL]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!
