“You were the chosen one!”

Ep.I: Fear

When Palpatine talked about how Anakin wanted to be more than a simple boy and that he wanted to have a life of "significance," you can see clearly that that was never what Anakin truly wanted.

The fact that this dude was literally a quadriplegic walking around on life support, but could still beat the ass of pretty much any force user who challenged, made him so badass.

This is what Star Wars is all about: The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker

The Clone Wars really made Anakin’s fall to the dark side even more depressing then it already was. Now that’s good storytelling.

I believe he really heard padmes voice saying “stop, stop now come back, I love you” as the last redemption. Seeing their son in that pain broke their heart.

the innocence of the little boy dreaming of visiting all the stars contrasted with the tortured sith looking out over his power and those same stars is really powerful

To me the story of Anakin Skywalker is one the most tragic in the history of cinema

Star Wars is really the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker. The greatest villain and the greatest hero.

The clip transitioning from Anakin saying “I wanna be the first one to see em all” to Vader looking in the stars just hits hard

This really makes you appreciate Hayden's performance in the prequels. He had the hardest job in Star Wars history. To literally take the most feared character in Star Wars and make him the hero in one movie and then the next he was asked the turn him into the most feared character again. He handled the anakin to Vader transition like a pro to me

And he was a good friend...

"Is she safe?"

Anakin was truly the Chosen One. Even though he fell to the Dark Side, he truly brought balance to the force by defeating Darth Sidious and saving his son.

"Is she alright?"
