Anakins Skywalker's Redemption

[NateGoesWOO]

The only things I hated were the constant head-bobs, all the close-ups, the really really loud audio that caused my speakers to crackle with sound, and the fact that I heard some of the music from the other scenes in the back. But beyond that, epic!

[slipknotmaggotful]

lol slow mo head turns

[TexasFilmCritic]

Love it!

[VG052292]

what the theme in the voice flashback? Great video!

[shad3dvader]

[apinamakina]

Gotta say, I didn't like this video. You made that scene where Vader remembers his past too long in my opinion. And that music when Anakin killed Emperor didn't fit there. You should have kept the original music. :/

[1101millie97]

@apinamakina

I guess we will have to agree to disagree -the music is perhaps the best part of this particular video.

[aCroatianSensation]

One of the best Star Wars soundtracks at the beginning of the vid.

[TheOjibway84]

I think you should have at least paused Vader looking down at his son not repeat the scene over and over, woulda been better,

[veggen123]

Oh man I love this video! I have seen it several times already. Excellent work! :D It truly shows Vaders conflicting emotions

[theartyone]

Why does vader look like a dog after suffering a stroke while the emporer is killing Luke? Spoilt what could of been a nice re-edit.

[Novakastand]

Very cool! I like the slow down thing! Captures the moment greatly! Perfect sound bits too! Hats off to ya!

[SonofJones]

is reminded of as he watches the emperor slowly kill Luke, remembering what things people said to him that would be relevant, and remembering things relevant about Padme is pretty much universal in these kinds of videos.

That being said, this was still extremely done well for what it was, it almost seems like it was done by a paid professional. Good luck with your future videos.

[Arrakna]

@SonofJones Thanks. I WISH I where paid to do it!

[Jamestopboy]

@Arrakna There's one line I would have put in that I don't think you did; right before Vader picks up the emperor, I would have had Padme's line of "Ani! Help me!" (or whatever that line was) from Revenge of the Sith; in losing Luke, he is, after all, losing part of Padme, and I believe it'd spur him into action.

[1101millie97]

@SonofJones

I think Arrakna would be well-advised on taking your advice given here, while keeping that Padme/Anakin Love soundtrack which I think was the best feature of this video. If you are going to use that particular soundtrack, focus the flashbacks primarily on Padme.

[SonofJones]

This was very well done! You've obviously put a lot of effort into it and the flashbacks and done extraordinarily well!

Unfortunately, it has the same problem that all too many of these "Vader's redemption/Anakin's redemption etc, etc." videos have: They, for the most part, really don't seem to me what Vader would really be reminded of watching this. What you did would be perfect for Vader reflecting on how he became a sith. When I watch these kinds of videos, I think it should show what Vader

[Vader1690]

As a star wars freek I just say *cries* It's very well done I love how you have put this together you keep up the good work with your imagintion *wipes tears* good job

10/10 is my ranking

[lodziklocPL]

Could you please give me name of that track?

[Deathcab47]

@lodziklocPL - the slow motion theme is watch?v=rWlXU2DeYkQ

[lodziklocPL]

@Deathcab47 - wow. Thank you very much. I wasn't really expecting that someone will answer my comment. :D

[makemyday68]

i love this scene

[thewhateverdude123]

this scene is just perfect, i love how it goes out of the tradition where a flashback is shown in a scene, not like this where he remembers the words that were spoken, and only that. and dont even get me started on the music, i just about cried when you used the love theme from episode II from the part where vader killed the emporer and on, it just fits in such a way that is just so beautiful, props man, this is in my opinion one of the best star wars videos on youtube. 5/5

[Arrakna]

@thewhateverdude123 Thanks very much.

[gruntelite117]

Star Wars is the greatest fictional thing ever created. The great thing about the films is how they feel like they stand on top of the entire Star Wars history, you can really feel like it's an entire universe, and these conflicts are tens of thousands of years old.

[Erril13]

It was a good idea but it was too long and the whole flashback segment was ruining by the laughable bobbing of Vader's head as you continually ran the same clip over-and-over again. That was very distracting and really killed the moment.

[TheBlaziken437]

what the hell, all you did was play one movement he did, slo-moed it, blurred it, and added sound. you can do better than that!

[Tyris1013]

Hey, what's the song used when vader starts to remember? When I watched kick-ass movie, the burning scene with big daddy reminded me mostly of this one. No idea what's the song used in kickass too

Thx

[CadaverMutilatr]

Damn! Those flashbacks were so badass, and so emotional. Ths vid was amazing.

[Hisoka44be]

One of my favourite nostalgic scenes

[UnstableCatfish]

If Anakin wasn't half robot Luke would be seriously fucked

[Stinpack]

in the end he isn´t evil, he´s just afraid and been used.

[donaldthescotishtwin]

this is how it should have been

[hey134]

@donaldthescotishtwin except for the head bobbing back and forth lol.

[Guard655]

Vaders head moving back and forth is annoying but it is good anyway.

[WalleWildberrie]

it would have been epic if in the middle of vader's reflections you would have heard jar jar's voice "mesa called jar jar binks!"

[Armando93Mendez]

When Padme died,the dark side consumed Anakin making himself Darth Vader when he killed Padme.But when Anakin became Darth Vader,that was destined.

[Armando93Mendez]

Vader's head moving may mean that he's reflecting upon his deeds.On whether has the dark side helped him or benefit him as viewed before the Return Of The Jedi.Did the power of the dark side helped Padme?No,it did not.

[WarThug13]

it was great but a few problems that ruined for me, if they were not present this video would have been perfect

1.vaders head moving back and forth is annoying and drives away the sad element

2. palpatine talking about ANGER toward the end of the flashback seems out of place, either leave it out or cut to it it smoothly and then follow it up with the scene of palpatine repeating similar things to luke it will give a sense that vader is realizing palpatine's manipulative powers

[WarThug13]

3. the sudden change of music right after the flashback makes no sense at all it was great up to that point everything was sad and nice and then this music starts and ruins the whole thing

please fix these flaws and your video will be beyond greatness

[donaldthescotishtwin]

@WarThug13 no the love theme belongs its more sad when that starts

[Russalio]

2nd time ive seen this and im about to cry, i dont ever cry

[BobJoeBillBo]

0:26 what kind of weak swing is that?

[jediking12]

Nice :)

I Like the music at the beginning (The Battle of Endor II) it's so intence

[Kihotay]

great!!!

[CalicoVall]

HAHAHHAAHH!! ^^ Vader's got Torrets! ^^

[Randomvideoman101]

this made me cry when darth vader was rembering his past

[Russalio]

same here buddy, same here. aint nothjing wrong with manly tears

[Randomvideoman101]

that took a lot of thinking. XD XD XD

[LadyVader33]

Great vid! Well done!

[sithlord52190]

i like the way you worked in the score from AOTC. awesome!

[JohnnyDepp4love]

great 3:50

[dwswh]

love it , different from other vids 5 * ratin!

[jeaninemagdziak]

great, the and with anakins ghost is great:)

[richie7rich7]

interesting to note the last rites. Hindus perform such last rites after death.

Also there is a large volume of similarities between Hindu Mythologies and Star Wars Tale.

[spencerkicksass]

all i want is the orginal scene and all i come a across are these made up ones.

[Stynd]

Luke sees i dont make nothing bad bece sees, Luke destroys just a cyborg hand of Vader, if Luke as bee destroyd Vader maybe he could take Vader place and be the right hand of Sidious

[CIFswimmer]

This should go into the film yeah there were a few parts i was like "naw dont have that" but over all i give it a 9 out of ten! This video is bad ASS!!!!!

[Hunterbigfoot]

Maybe some sceanes.... But very good very good

[STARepublic]

Love has unpredictyable effects on a person's life.The one who kills Padme is already Darth Vader though he hasn't changed his looks,he is already Darth Vader because he never care killing those who cared for him.

[ransac16]

It all depends on HOW they turned to the Dark Side. Anakin turned to protect padme(ironicaly he killed her) And now Palpatine was torturing/killing his son in front of him. Love corrupted AND brought his redemption. Well, it all stands true. Love is a roller coaster.

[MMisi]

eXcellent video.

Hey, what's the music in the edited part?

[STARepublic]

When Anakin 1st descended to the dark side till now,he did not really fully embrace it despite killing younglings in the jedi temple or force-choking Padme.That is why unlike those who have fallen to the darkside,Darth Vader is able 2 redeem himself because he has more compassion than lust for power.He loves Luke.He loves Padme.

[Hunterbigfoot]

its always love that brings some one back.

[terriblethomas101]

they should edit this in to the film

[darksideapoc]

There is no villain as evil as Palpatine.

[STARepublic]

It should have been like this.Darth Vader remembering who he used 2 be and fulfill the prophecy of being the chosen one by bringing balance 2 the force.

[Tyris1013]

I cried... Three times... God... :'( this gives complete view of vader. I saw for the first time person with vader mask, the real person, not just a machine. This is incredible

[alenoguerol666]

i luv this video seriously o.O 10/5! xD

[sgauden]

If they make a remastered version of Return of the Jedi, they should do something like this! Awesome!!

[poskudo27d]

Oh my!!! Its the greatest thing i've seen on youtube.....

Please can yo remake the video , it'll be more perfect [ =)],if you change Vaders "thank you" into " thank you , my son ...."

[fineaxe]

Damn, this is EXCELLENT! So moving! Easily 5/5.

[toyman65]

very well done. The movie should have had this. Vader remembering the good of Anakin who he really was and the lies of Palpatine. The love he had for Amidala knowing she gave birth to his children. To save his only son.

[tolfreep]

I liked it, loved the bit where Sidious seemed to be enjoying the suffering, and the pain showing in Luke's face that really helped it.

[halorulesyourface]

its good but vader's head moving back and forth is a little annoying

[francobobfred]

Well done!!

[Kikk3r07]

Awesome..*wipes tear* ...great, thank yo for that 5/5

[guesswho1414]

Nice, what music is that in the background... it fit really well.
