thank you for cutting out the side plot.
No.
sry but i absolutly dont unterstand whats so good on this teeny reaction, there are better on youtube
Movie name ?
RIP James
Vader still considers himself a “learner” here if his Episode IV line is true: “When we last met I was but a learner”
I wouldn't stress too hard about the narrative continuity in Star Wars. It was completely missing in the prequels, why worry now?
wtf do you think they predicted in 1970 they will make a obi wan series
Chocolate rain
Probably didn't think of himself as a learner at the time of the scene, but looking back on it when he next sees kenobi he thinks he was. I mean he was defeated, and presumably learned loads in the time after, so it makes sense he would think that about himself later. Doesn't mea he thought it at the time
Kenobi episode V. Flashbacks. Obi wan after defeating Anakin tells him: "You are a great warrior Anakin but your need to prove yourself is your undoing, until you overcome it A PADAWAN YOU WILL STILL BE."
Thats how the series fix that episode IV line after not being mustafar the last place they met.
Interesting how Anakin worded that, "I am not your failure Obi wan" almost as if to say don't put my downfall on you it was all my decision your free from whatever guilt you might have, that little gesture was a merciful one which makes this scene even sadder
@Svart Varg That's the story Anakin tells himself, anyway.
@Jonathan Campbell It was Vader who did that to begin with, Anankin dies in the moment hi attacked the Jedi Temple.
Honestly that sentence shows that Anakin is still there because if Vader wanted to inflict maximum pain to obi-wan he would have blamed him.
He wasn't being merciful- he views Anakin as weak, and isn't giving Obi-Wan the "credit" for killing him.
In this moment, and as usual, he'd rather think of himself as an unstoppable killing machine who murdered his own humanity, because the alternative is that he's just a sad and pathetic young man who destroyed everything he loved for nothing.
The part I love here is how Obi-Wan broke the opposite half of Vader's mask that Ahsoka did. They each tried, but only Luke was able to remove it.
And its worth noting their approach involved violence; Luke's was an act of love.
Well noted
and both ahsoka and obiwan got closure with clone wars anakin and movie anakin, Matt lanter for ahsoka and hayden for obiwan
I’m glad someone noticed this, it’s really poetic
Well said .
@Andrei Lanuza At this moment, it's Anakin request ,my friend.
I really love that little grip adjustment Vader does around 1:25. It's such a simple, human display of nervousness, very uncharacteristic of Vader, shows how emotional he is.
and that was his human arm.. while the mechanical remained firm
how tf did you notice that
@Psijic Assassin but emotion clouds his judgement and his powers. See how throughout his life, the people he mostly loses to are those he has emotional connections to. Obi wan, Luke, Ahsoka also pushed him pretty far.
or it's just that director forgot to say, 'Cut'
Oh I never noticed that. I do kind of like that.
"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did." The music right there is so perfect and deep beyond imagination.
It really adds to the scene.
That flicker of emotion at 7:42 that you see come across Vader's face. You can see the lip barely tremble and his bottom eyelid barely wince. It's like there was the briefest of hesitation from Anakin and then Vader took right back over. Absolutely incredible acting/directing.
@Cat mandu I’m saying that Palpatine, in that moment, used the force to take control of Vader’s body using a form of Essence Transfer similar to what Lord Vitiate did to Valkorion in TOR. Kinda like demonic possession, Anakin’s body was overridden by Palpatine in that moment, to FORCE Anakin/Vader to alienate Obi-Wan forever.
@JT Martin wait, are you implying literally Palpatine, or metaphorically? Sidious never like, possessed him if thats what you're getting at by _"Palpatine released his control"_ . I'm assuming you mean like the identity of Vader instilled by Sidious outweighed his Anakin side, and he couldn't take the leap towards redemption Obi-Wan was trying to pitch him?
You always hear a weakened gasp right after the wince.
My head cannon is Obi-Wan’s apology was working, Anakin was back and it was Palpatine, not Vader, that took over Anakin’s body to say “you didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker, I did”. And when Obi-Wan was walking away, Palpatine released his control. Vader’s screams at the end were Anakin pleading Obi Wan to either save him or put him out of his misery. That battle/conversation with Obi-Wan was, in Anakin’s mind, his last chance to free himself from the constant pain, one way or another. That’s why he’s so spiteful in A New Hope… he stopped fighting and let Vader take full control. Anakin was snuffed out. Until Luke happened, of course.
Massive props to Ewan and Hayden for doing this scene.
They really put their hearts into these performances.
the dialog scene after the mask gets slashed is some of the best star wars of the disney era; up there with mando season 2 and rogue one.
Absolutely. Hayden and Ewan both knocked this one out of the park
@BarcaBocaLDA25 Tom O'Connell does the stunts and lightsaber duels, while Dmitrious Bistrevsky does the walking/sitting scenes. Hayden was used for close up and flash backs.
@Zyrus Smith Tom O'Connell does the stunts and lightsaber duels, while Dmitrious Bistrevsky does the walking/sitting scenes. Hayden does facial close ups and flashbacks.
I know it’s a very small part but Hayden absolutely nails the emotion at the end
You don't need to be a star wars fan to understand how epic this fight scene is. The story line, the graphics, the passion and choreography. Legendary.
@Jonathan Campbell it would have been cool to have some sort of those two team up against a creature just like a concept art of episode 3
The location is terrible- just a dull, dark, rocky landscape. It doesn't give the choreographers or cinematographers much to work with.
In TPM, ROTS, ESB and ROTJ, the characters moved their fight around the area and it told a more dynamic story, but here there isn't anywhere interesting to move "to".
A place like this can work for brief fights like Obi-Wan vs Maul, but not so well for what they are trying to do here.
too bad the cameraman had Parkinson's
@Zodiac909 Yeah because of the lighting and then too many cuts happening. The last fight in ROTS didn't have this much cuts which made it more epic. But this fight is better than anything the sequels have brought forth.
@Robo Super Positivo yeah but i think he is refering the fact that he loses to everyone haha i think this fight should have ended with obi wan losing, resulting to luke being the only hope to kill vader, otherwise, vader doesnt seems too threatening
When Obi says “goodbye..Darth” he truly has closure and they never cut back to obi wan. In a short time he has to accept the fact his friend truly is dead that scene is well acted and directed.
Even before this, Obi Wan referring to Vader as Darth had long been assumed as a condescension
Definitely a retcon but it's way better than finishing the Kessel Run in less than however many parsecs. Donald Glover was a great choice for young Lando though.
I love how smart Obi-Wan fights here by actually aiming for Vader’s chest piece and damaging it to weaken him. Makes you wonder why none of Vader’s other opponents ever tried that.
@Aleks Maccabee faaaacts
@Garmadon As I have already stated. This Vader is still using his old form. He hasn't truly adapted to his prosthesis. He has only faced weak opponents. His injuries are healing poorly because of the inherent limitations in his suit. He still suffers from the fear and doubt of his original loss to Obi-Wan.
Obi-wan on the other hand has his purposed clearly defined. (Defend the twins) He starts the battle by lulling Vader into a false confidence by engaging him with his Soresu, then switches to Ataru, (which neither Anakin or Vader have ever faced in his training or his duels with Obi-Wan)
Obi-wan played Vader like a harp from hell. Strictly speaking Vader underestimated Obi-Wan and it cost him. Obi-Wan is only 48 in this battle. It isn't like he is an old man. and you don't just forget how to fence because you stopped doing it.
@Not Sure ok but still coming out of retirement and beating a walking a truck who sends fear into everyone in the galaxy and u just think about 2 kids and beat him is unrealistic
@Garmadon Also, clearly Obi-wan didn't cut himself off completely from the force BC rather than ride a speeder or some other land vehicle he chose to rife an Eopie so clearly he is still using his force power of animal friendship.
Not to mention the fact that he fully expects to train Luke one day. You have no valid argument man.
It's easy to imagine why the entire crew gathered to watch this scene be filmed live. Everyone from makeup to catering. Everybody wanted to see them create this scene together. Hayden and Ewan hadn't been onscreen together since RotS and I can't help but feel bitter jealousy toward them. They got the chance to witness history.
I love how once Vader's suit is broken he almost immediately goes from a cold intimidating villain to a sympathetic broken man who's barely alive. Hit's harder knowing he's only in his early 30s at this point.
@0Predaking0 He was 23 in ROTS, so he`s 33 here
yeah ... I'm really heartbroken over it
I love how Obi Wan (Vader's father figure) has enough of Vader adolescent tantrum and gives him a righteous and propper spanking. It's almost as if Obi Wan was like "Okay son, this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you." *Proceeds to spank Vader* "Huh, actually you know what? That did'nt hurt me at all. Seems like you should go back to school. Come back when you're ready." *Drops Mic*
My fault bro I didn't dive deep into his age in ROTS
Actually Anakin is in his late 30's because in revenge of the sith he's like 29 and considering this show takes 10 years after ROTS making Vader 39
Every time Obi-Wan and Anakin fight it becomes one of the best duels in the series.
We waited so long for this scene. It was worth it.
This scene is so emotional. You can see the relief obi wan has when he heard anakin say he's not his failure, and you can see the relief in anakin when obi wan apologizes. Sad to see brothers fight.
That last scream for Obi Wan is chilling. You can hear all of Anakin's pain/emotion, knowing he's been defeated once again. Too good.
THIS is Star Wars. It was meant to be a tragedy. How can you not tear up knowing the feelings Obi-Wan experiences during this duel? Regret, fear, hopelessness...Anakin, the same.
To hear James Earl Jones' voice and Hayden Christiansen's voice merge together was so awesome.
@JohnMasterCheif still cool though
His voice is AI
@Matt w Imagine how It feels for me finally hearing it in my 50's!! Ive loved this movie series since I was a child.
I LOVE good sound design. It’s not given the attention it deserves too often in movies
To see two different people in one costume
What I love most about this sequence is when Obi-Wan is pinned by the boulders and what he uses to gather his strength is thoughts of Leia and Luke. Jedi are supposed to be ridden of all attachments as to have no distractions from their dedication to the force. However, what makes Obi-Wan special is that he’s one of few Jedi’s that has the ability to use his attachments to further his strength in connection with the force. Extremely well written.
I would also argue it's his attachment to Anakin that prevents him from killing him as Obi Wan had numerous opportunities in this duel to do so.
That was actually what made many of the ancient Jedi much stronger than the ones during the clone wars and after. They didn’t try and force all of their members to purge all of their emotions.
The funny thing is Anakin basically used his attachments to his friends to make him more powerful and Obi-Wan told him to forget about them
I love that Darth Vader still refers to Obi Wan as his "Master"
He still refers to him as his master in a New Hope also when he says "My old Master is here".
I think he was being sarcastic there
The most epic duel all the time, what a great, what a masterpiece to see Obi Wan and His Apprentice face to face !
Ewan McGregor is such a phenomenal actor. You can hear and feel how deep his pain is and the guilt that's crushing him
I love how Obi Wan doesn’t even give Vader the ability to hear him say his full title of Darth Vader. He does it again in A New Hope where he only calls him Darth Vader when talking to Luke but when they fight, he still just calls him Darth. A blow to the pride to not hear his former master even address him properly as a Sith Lord. The strongest and most feared sith ever seen but he’s still just Darth.
@TD671 to me, there is Darth Maul, Dooku, Anakin, and emperor Palpatine
@TD671 I just feel like that was a bunch of stuff to sell books and merchandise. If it didn’t happen in the movies, it didn’t happen as far as I am concerned.
@Brownie 1980 wdym don't acknowledge? Bane and I think Revan too are both canon, just cause they're from the Old Republic doesn't mean they didn't exist
@TD671 I am just not a Star Wars fan that acknowledges all that other stuff. To me there is Darth Maul, Count, Dooku, Darth Vader, and emperor Palpatine.
@Brownie 1980 Palpatine is most definitely not the most feared or most powerful Sith ever seen, Vader was the most feared throughout the original trilogy, as no one knew that Palpatine was actually a super powerful Sith Lord, but they did know about Vader, but Sith from the Old Republic time period like Bane and Revan were more powerful and more feared than Palpatine
Hearing Anakin/Vader struggle to breathe after obi wan cut his helmet is just heartbreaking. This whole scene is heartbreaking. So glad Ewan and Hayden came back and gave us this moment
It wasn't his helmet damage that caused the respiratory problems
@123 456 No. YOU'RE BREATHTAKING!
@AlanD That makes no sense. So the force wants Vader to blow up a planet and kill billions more people? And technically, anakin brought balance when he helped wipe out the jedi. The scales were balanced after order 66. And if the force wanted him to kill Palpatine he could've done it when Mace had him beat.
@Crichjo32 Agree 100%. The whole Leia/Reva thing was weak and poorly done. It should've been 100% Obi/Vader/Anakin.
It wasn't the helmet breaking that led to his breathing struggle. It was destroying his chest panels
7:10 Just this moment broken my heart ...
"Anakin is gone ... I'm what remains."
So much sadness ...
Seeing Obi-Wan and Anakin fight once again before a new hope is so awesome!
I saw this somewhere else but it is so accurate, Obi-Wan removed one side of his mask, Ahsoka removed the other, but only Luke could remove the mask entirely.
I'm not a Star Wars fanboy but when I saw this scene I was screaming. Finally get to see Obi-Wan in his full power. He'd always just kind of been a swordfighter who did force parlor tricks, but this was a complete wow. Also really felt for Anakin, his labored breathing, the hurt, heartbreak, Obi-Wan's sadness. Disney did this one right.
@Korey G clearly you are a superior being.
Really ? You were “screaming”. Weirdo
Lets be honest, it’s the fight all Star Wars fans looked forward to when Disney annouced this series. And it didn’t disappoint
Easily the greatest lightsaber fight since revenge of the siths epic duel.
Couldn’t believe how fantastic the kenobi series was!
"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did."
This line gives us a resolution to the (now)fact that Obi-Wan never lied to Luke about his father's death; stating: "He betrayed and murdered your father."
Darth even took credit.
@Glen Royce yes, and Vader was never obi's Padawan. He was Palaptine's. Granted he was given the title of Darth immediately, but he was still under the tutelage of Palps. So Obi still lied to luke. They should have explained it better, OR he should have just told Luke that Anakin chose to fall to the dark side (which he somewhat did), and then just leave it at that. None of this, the good man known as anakin was destroyed. The bottom line is he didn't want to admit to luke that anakin turned to the dark side. He wanted Anakin to remain the perfect father in Luke's eyes.
@DarthChocolate padawan = pupil....
@DarthVader1701 not really a retcon more than adding more context to it.
"I came here to save a friend. not to kill this evil, sad husk.. goodbye Darth." Obi-Wan is a savage.
Sad in so many ways. It was sad to see Obi Wan have to fight his former apprentice once again, very sad to see the inner conflict between Anakin and Vader, but the absolute saddest part is when Obi Wan addresses him as Anakin during the early part of the battle but at the end when Obi Wan has to finally say "Goodbye Darth".
I love how we can consider Vador like a big villain, with big dark voice, very terrifying. But behind his mask we directly see that grand kid suffering and swimming on his hate, and all we want is someone to help hilm.
I love it, it's a magnificent tragedy !
The combination between Christensen and James Earl Jones voice create that aspect so well !!
I like how Vader switchs grip from one hand to two. It really shows he's taking the fight super seriously. A nice contrast between him, and the cocky, overconfident, Anakin that lost on mustafar.
It amazes me how it took over 40 years for writers to display Darth Vader’s incredible power in the dark side
This ending battle was just simply perfect, beautiful, and amazing.. seeing the Light and Dark side switching within Vader is just perfect
The lighting switch to symbolise the light side and the darkness, the amount of emotion conveyed with half of Hayden's face covered, the blending of the two Vader voices, the distress in Obi-Wan's face. This single scene is by far the greatest piece of Star Wars content Disney has produced to date. Wonderful
@Jake Martin Yeah that should go on the back burner over showing that it's literally anakin skywalker underneath the Helmut.
@Aura RCbecause they can and it's an entertaining show for the most part.
One scene does not save a mediocre show.
NO ITS STUPID. Obi-wan starts the scene saying be will destroy Darth but then just leaves. He could have ended a LOT of deaths if he had killed Vader right there
.
Without a doubt the most powerful and Emotionally moving duals in cinema history. It's what we 1978 Star Wars fans waited decades for!
Imagine all the lives Obi-Wan could've saved if he just put Vader out of his misery and taken his head clean off.
@Bryan O'Connor this is true... should've known better, disney is not my canon
@Bill W well rebels isn't one of the original books.
@Bryan O'Connor he tried to kill her in Rebels.
And with Vader dead, theres no one who could kill Palpatine, Luke would stand no chance by himself
Obi-Wan couldn't kill Vader for the same reason Vader never hunted for Asoka, He would have never been able to kill her because she was his Padawan like Anakin/Vader was Obi-Wan's.
I really like how they did Vader here and his interactions with Obi-Wan. In A New Hope, there’s this sense of acceptance I guess between the two of them when they meet face to face one again. They fight but it’s almost like they’ve detached themselves from the whole thing. It’s been going on for so long that when they see each other again, it’s less of a big reunion clash between the two and more just this resignation to fate, like thru know it has to happen and they both just want to get it over with. They’re both older and wiser, they know what to accept from the other. Obi-Wan know only seems him as Darth Vader and not the boy he once knew and Vader only sees him as an old fool who once trained him decades ago.
Then you look at Vader here. He’s still seething with rage and hatred, still throwing barbs at Obi-Wan and mocking him. Still that furious young man we saw in Episode 3 who told his master he hated him. This isn’t a fight between Vader and Obi-Wan but it’s a fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Vader isn’t doubting himself, he isn’t conflicted, he hasn’t become the cold and calculating ruler he was in the original trilogy. He’s still absolutely consumed with violence and rage and he lets all of that anger out in this fight.
If you don’t remember, in their fight on mustafar Obi was on the defensive every time, and even took multiple punches and kicks and a choking grab while not retaliating with the same amount of force. However, in this fight after Obi lifts himself from the pile of stones, he almost doesn’t hesitate to not only attack Darth with the force, but also uses his bare hands in the same brutal way Anakin did with Obi on mustafar, probably having come to the end of his rope. That’s kind of interesting to ponder.
@Sam and his attempt was combined with his smart. Attacking the weak spots as hard as he could. Honestly you pointed out good mate.
I think after being almost crushed in that pile of rocks and wanting retaliate when only knowing a defensive style of lightsaber dueling, he did a crude attempt at replicating Anakin's fighting style and even brought in the force as a last ditch effort to retaliate and not die to one of the best and most brutal lightsaber users in history
I feel like there's a shift of mentality when the tide of the duel turns. There's almost this point when you see a fear in Obi Wan's eyes, and I think it boils down to how close he could've been to Vader's path. Think about the rage he expressed in the duel with Darth Maul after he had killed Qui Gon Jinn...
"I am not your failure, Obi-Wan"
Anakin subconsciously trying to say it wasn't his fault, or Vader making sure Obi-Wan doesn't get credit for what he's become? Brilliant.
They way he says “you didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did” still sends a chill down my spine. One of the most emotional, powerful scenes in the whole franchise
@Johnathan Altomare yeah normally Vader would be head and shoulders above Kenobi in strength. He had to have some hesitation
@Sean Feeley i agree. Vader is very conflicted emotionally throughout the entire saga
@Pixelated. Morally, I don’t think he could ever bring himself to do that
And in a way he is reassuring Kenobi that he shouldn't feel guilty. Almost trying to keep him from dark side of the force. Most sith encourage Jedi to use their anger and use the dark side. Vader is doing the opposite with obi wan
@Paul Howellalways surprised how many don’t get that part
This fight was such an awesome climax to this show (which I will continue to love, I don't care what anyone says about it). This isn't Obi wan trying to buy time for anyone or escape or even just survive, he fully intends to kill Vader here if he can, and he really could have which is the shocking part. Him regaining his purpose really brought him back into his full power, but gaining closure about Vader and forgiving himself for Anakin's "death" was so beautiful, and helped him to really find himself and be at peace again. The fact that Vader himself is the one that helped him to do that is just so beautiful in a way
It's not shocking at all, Obi-Wan is more powerful than Vader, especially in this scene
Having half of Anakin's face showing under the helmet is beautifully terrifying. Seeing flesh and blood consumed by machine, by hatred. His gaunt, deathly face being a pale shell of the youthful and handsome Anakin. Vader in this scene is akin to Michael Myers, vaguely human, nothing but evil in his cold dark eyes, a shape that resembles a man.
Hayden actually pulled off menacing. I didn't think he would, but he did. It gave me chills.
so well done, Anakins voice coming through was epic
I think the most heartbreaking thing is when he said “You didn’t destroy Anakin Skywalker. I did.” Obi Wan blamed his whole life up to that point on himself he hid & isolated depressed blaming himself & when he wanted all the hate direct at him just to feel something he’s told this whole time it was never him everything he did was completely voluntary meaning the whole thing to save padme was some kind of twisted imagination to explain things.
I think deep down when his mother was killed he chose to let the world burn so they feel his pain.
"You didn't kill Anakin I did"
I feel like that was Anakins last gift to Obi-Wan to relieve him of his guilt. That felt merciful to me from Vader
@The RivrPrncess agreed. Obi wan and the council certainly did not make things better for him, but things started to sour long before the clone wars. Like when he killed all those Tuskins. Now on issues like Dooku and Ashoka they definitely dropped the ball, but still.
That was anakin
Closure
@Jose Velasco It was also the truth. He did it, nobody else, and even though Obi Wan sliced him into pieces, Vader is the one who killed Anakin.
I feel like it was a two sided thing. On one hand, whatever remains of Anakin probably didn’t want Kenobi to feel guilt over it. On the other hand, Vader wanted to rub salt in the wound by basically telling Kenobi that there is no light left, that he revels in the dark side
Say what you want about this series, but is one of the only lightsaber fights that looks like two people are actually trying to hit each other with said lightsabers. And I appreciate the hell out of it for that.
Their fight in Revenge of the Sith is legendary but this one is personal and heartbreaking like seeing two bestfriends fighting each other 😢
I really like that Obi-Wans flashbacks of Leia and Luke are what push him to go all out, like Anakin is gone but the best parts of him are still alive, really sad but awesome at the same time.
This scene gave me goosebumps, could not be more perfect.
Obi-Wan is so heartbroken to see Anakin’s face. Excellent job both actors!
Seeing a pure soul like Anakin completely corrupted and disfigured in the suit is heartbreaking.
@Racc That is a misrepresentation, or a misapprehension of the notions 'corrupt,' and, 'pure.' There are no degrees between the two. There is the pure, and there is corruption.
There are "degrees" of severity of depravity, but once someone is corrupted at all, they are no longer pure at all... only a level of brokenness.
There is not a one-to-one correspondence between moral corruption and moral purity.
I hazard to say that the degree of depravity is still significant, but you can't earn back with what you already owe.
Purity is something else, and we fool ourselves every day by a reduced standard.
No-one is immune to corruption, even the most pure man can be broken and made evil.
@Spencer Pease You've just distilled the idea quite succinctly.
Nicely done!
If Anakin was pure, he never would’ve done ANYTHING dark, beginning with slaughtering the tusken raiders
@Rick Blaine That is the definition of corruption, which is part of the literary point.
Love love love the light switching on anakins face, he's trying to hard to hate there's always the good that shines through
Sure, Vader hates Obi-wan. But that’s nothing compared to how much Vader hates himself.
No wonder Obi Wan thought there was no saving Anakin. It's interesting how Luke was able to still sense the light side in Vader when everyone else missed it.
I love all the parallels between Vader's duel with Obiwan and his duel with Ahsoka. Even down to Vader saying - *"Then you will die"* - right before both duels.
He seems to like to say this to just about everyone with a lightsaber that he meets. He gave Ezra a little longer..."Then you will die braver than most"
Vader was definitely having fun here. Think about it, this guy, for the past 10 years, has virtually wiped out everyone who has opposed him with minimal effort. This fight with Kenobi was the most he had been challenged since RotS, and he loved it, because he loves a good fight.
Bro he lost it didnt seem very fun. Vader isnt a god, Obi-wan is every bit as powerful. Obi-wan could have easily killed Vader here but it wouldve been pointless. He only loses to Vader eventually because of his age and lack of practice.
Hayden was born to play Anakin, i can't -, his voice, his face, his expression, the emotions, he stayed so true to his character... Him and Ewan returning was a blessing
@lousyacrobathe was fantastic in the prequels he was one of the best parts about it
I think that will always be Hayden's greatest role
@lousyacrobat he was excellent in rots
There was a video on Clip-Share on more details about Anakin’s mental and emotional state after ep1. Could Hayden have done a better job on his line delivery in certain scenes, I say yes. But in the end Hayden knew what Anakin was going through and George Lucas was probably more suited like Kevin Feige is to the MCU. Making sure the story flows how he thinks is right but can allow other directors to put their own creative touch could’ve made the prequels better
@lousyacrobat its not always bad acting, sometimes its bad direction.
I love that realization when Obi Wan sees Anakin’s face exposed
One of the best modern star wars scenes today ! They put everything in to there acting! Hit the heart strings a little bit lol
What hit me is obi wans realization that the boy he watched over as a father and fought with on the battlefield with as brother in arms is gone and all that’s left is a man stuck between the dark and the light side suffering mentally and physically with that being said Yoda already knew what was up “the boy you trained consumed he has by the dark vader”
It is times like this when I remember exactly why Anakin/Darth Vader is, and always will be my favorite Star Wars character. His arc is truly saddening, and while he is certainly evil here, he *wasn't* that way, he could've been saved, but he wasn't. And all of this is made truly more impactful when considering his choice to side with Luke and take down the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.
Mann there’s no fight that makes me want to cry other than this.
Watching Anakin's sith eyes disappear, and for a moment, he's back, even in a backhanded way, forgiving Kenobi, before reaffirming his hatred, is just heartbreaking.
@Fesh Pince Um.. No its not. When George Lucas made A New Hope, he had no intention of even making a sequal to it.
And no i never seen "The Boys" but you sure have.
@LA FC The _entire point_ of the character of Darth Vader is to show that Anakin, a good person, still lives within him. That was the whole plot of the climax of ROTJ.
I bet you're one of those fans who watches shows like "The Boys" and actually roots for Homelander.
It's still just bad writing however you look at it
@ThatLP like having a split personality
@Krystian Nowak Anakin is gone. you are just hearing what you want to hear. There is only Darth Vader.
Everytime I watch this I cry like a baby. Never had acting that has moved me the way that this does. Incredible job all around.
This will never get old to me.
Still love this scene. It bridges episode 3 n 4 together so nicely.
Say what you want about the Kenobi show, but this is definitely one of the most awesome moments in star wars
Man Obi-Wan really was in pain when he saw his face. Probably immediately thought of the little boy saying "What'll happen to me now"
Say what you will about the show, but this whole encounter felt so important and necessary in the grand scheme of things. Not to mention, this is easily one of the best duels in the franchise. Nothing beats Vader in a broken suit, clinging to his hatred.
@Kevin Pittman obi wan, even as central a main protagonist he is-is slept on. Obi wan was humble, consistent with his judgement and a pillar of jedi morality. Honestly, in my opinion, the most well rounded jedi of them all.
i agree... Obi-wan was truely the most powerful and successful Jedi of the whole franchise.
@W x B but tbh, this kinda cheapens the iconic fight between master and student. The whole point of Obi wan fighting Vader on the Death Star was meant to illustrate how they finally meet again back when Anakin wasn’t in a suit yet. And now they suddenly duel on a random occasion
@Peter Benjamin Parker not only that but the cuts and general coreography are really unsatisfying, especially compared to the prequels.
Story-wise it also doesn't make much sense for Obi-Wan to defeat Vader here. You can argue Vader was weakened by his emotions and all the stuff, but at his peak, the only jedi I could see coming toe to toe with him is Asoka since she only got stronger after Anakin became Vader.
Imagine unironcally thinking this. Your last two brain cells are fighting for last place
I love how Vader straight up punches Obi-Wan in the face at 2:27
Just watching this series makes me want to see a Vader series. Hayden Christensen did an amazing job on being Darth Vader.
Having seen the original as a little kid in the 70s, this was quite satisfying to watch. How come the last 3 movies couldn't deliver like this? Great everything!
Damnit! You all have no clue how hard was for me to see this battle.
8 mos later and this still hits hard n gets so deep inside
"Anakin is gone, I am what remains." Goosebumps man. I'm so glad they have Hayden/Earl Jones as one voice. The Prequels just played through my head instantly during the whole fight. The journey they had.......
@Leon Kennedy yes your watching John
I got a flashback of the prequels and The 2008 clone wars.
@gordon thomas Vader is dead I’m not going down that path anymore
I never cared for "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you." until that scene.
No I’m not gone
I love how he thinks and fights for Luke and Leia in this scene and how they are far more important than Anakin.....those two are FAR more important and FAR more powerful than Anakin will ever be....beautiful!
i get chills everytime i watch this scene
I love how Vader's lightsaber technique shows it's in progress of what it's going to be. The suit Anakin is wearing was purposefully designed by Palpatine to be heavy, clunky, and an all around pain to move in. Anakin is used to being fast and moving like lightning, but as Vader he can't do that, so you can see how he's using the suit's weight to his advantage, landing down heavy blows that while not as fast are designed to unbalance his opponent and leave them open for attack.
Regardless of the series as a whole, whether you liked it or not, I’m grateful for this fight. I understand the practicality of shooting movies back then meant we couldn’t have fast flashy lightsaber battles but I always struggled to visualise Vader from the original trilogy ever being able to move fast enough to defeat any surviving trained Jedi from order 66. But this scene really showed me how good a duellist and how fast Vader was even in the suit.
I love how it starts with blue while he's talking to obi wan. Once he truly understands that anakin skywalker is truly dead, it transitions to red. Such a great scene
Luke- “You told me Vader murdered my father”
Ben- “It’s literally what he said”
“At a certain point of view”
My son I’m not dead
Spot on mate!
Underrated comment.
Cry or laugh 😂
I can't imagine the frustration he felt from growing so powerful since their last duel and still losing to Obi-Wan. If I were to guess, he was a nervous wreck. Still trying to prove himself to his former master, even as a Sith.
We need to see more legit fight scenes like this. Showing how powerful the light and dark side are. So cool!!
This one scene was the reason to create the show. Actually you can watch this and skip other episodes and loose nothing.
I just realized that Obi wan replied "I will do what I must" to Anakin before this fight. Just like in revenge of the sith. He also does that pose when he was about to fight Grievous.
It’s scary how he worded “you didn’t kill Anakin, I did” like as if the dark side forcefully took over Anakin’s mind and yet he still tries to put ease on Kenobi. Idk if that’s how it works but just thinking that it did makes me wonder how it would feel.
Obi Wan saying “goodbye darth” instead of “goodbye anakin” really hit home for obi wan you can tell his long fight to bring anakin back to the light was truly over
Well he never wanted to bring anakin back to light but anyway
@Jamie Lloyd wouldn’t that be Emperor Palpatine?
The clever part is the use of the light saber colour to show who is talking. Blue when Anakin is closer to the surface, Red once he is submerged beneath Darth Vader's malice once again.
A Master of evil, Darth.
@Daniel Rafferty Yes, but that's the "weakness" of Obi One. For all the power, and knowledge, and wisdom he has, as much as he is the perfect Jedi in many ways, he can't kill his worst enemy, a Sith who is making the Galaxy suffer, becasue it is his brother. It pains him not being able so kill him as it pains him not to be able to save him.
Say what you will about this show this duel and the dialogue between them here are some of the best we've gotten from these two in all of star wars
This is the scene that got me back on the Star Wars fan wagon. Sending chills down my spine like the fight scene in Episode 8's fight scene between Kyro and Ray. Terrific and very compelling stuff.
Anakin and Obi Wan is never going to get old. That is just a powerful clash that it’s insuperable.
I find this interesting. In Episode III, Obi-Wan and Anakin knew each-other’s style so well it was almost like a dance. Here, Bader has been forced to create a new style to match the heavy armour he’s now forced to wear. Obi-Wan doesn’t know this style, so it’s a different fight.
I think the most heart wrenching thing for me is the line from Kenobi “I’m sorry Anakin, for all of it.” Because Obi Wan isn’t just apologizing for Mustafar, for Padme, and his suffering inside the suit. He’s apologizing for, as he says, EVERYTHING. Every little thing, every wrong done to Anakin by the republic, the council, and obi wan himself that lead up to this moment. Obi wan knows exactly what lead to Anakin’s fall to the dark side, he’s had plenty of time to think about it.. and he’s apologizing for it all, but Anakin is gone.
Vader is what remains.
well i mean if you’ve watched ep 6 you’d know anakin isn’t gone
@Denny Augustine because Darth Sidious lured him into thinking he could bring Padmai back from yhe dead even if she did die.
@Thunder Cricket I agree. I get that the Dark Side is supposed to be addictive and once you tap in, it drives you deeper very quickly. But they should have shown that descent. IMO if they were to redo Revenge of the Sith, I'd have Anakin fall to the Dark Side at the beginning of the movie and have him carrying out the attack on the temple and his duel with Obi-Wan at the end.
@RrenKrieg I don't think the Force was using Anakin as its vessel to purify the Jedi, but I do think that his fall was the inevitable result of the Jedi's complacency and rigidity. With the Jedi ignoring their emotions and forcing warriors to fit their specific mold, it was bound to happen that someday a great Jedi would fall. It happened multiple times before - Dooku was an example - but Anakin just happened to be the one strong enough to take down the order.
@warriorpoet9560
You should take the concerns you have here to 'Team Lucas'
Subtle details make this even better.
Vader readjusted his grip when he realised obi wan was able to fight back
Obi wan's defensive stance from episode 1 was countered with vader hitting back
Vader gaining the high ground and taking his vengeance for it, arrogance and pride
When Vader's breathing support was damaged he was panicked and reverted to his rage to fight through
Obi wan knowing he was unable to beat vader with conventional form so he switched fighting styles to catch vader out and counter his mistakes
You can see and hear the inexperience Vader has at being Vader. The way he swings his lightsaber, his gasping for breath, his words.
The colors on Anikins face growing from red to blue for a moment as he says he doesn’t blame Obi Won and goes back to red is just great
