How Darth Vader Viewed Himself and The Galaxy - Star Wars Explained 

Darth Vader has always been my favourite. His story is just so tragic and in some ways relatable. I never saw him as an evil man. Just misguided and tricked, consumed by his guilt and regret.

Everything about Anakin Skywalker is sad and tragic

A good man who fell into darkness... like many before him...

It makes sense that Anakin has some kind of an emotion disorder or personality disorder. I'd explain his mood swings and unrealistic perception of reality. It really makes me feel bad for the guy.

What if Ahsoka Tano joined Darth Vader as his apprentice?

Jesus! Vader is so simple on top but as you dig down there is so much going on. Truly an amazing character.

This is why I enjoy the prequel EU more than the Originals EU.

What if vader let Luke strike the emperor down in Return of the Jedi?

What if Han didn't survive being frozen in carbonite?

*Im a pilot you know*......

i think you overlooked his relationship with the emperor. in the ROTS novel when the suit is assembled and he crushes all the droids, hes trying to also crush "the shadow". "in the end, you are so broken that you cannot even touch it. in the end, you dont even want to. the shadow does not judge you. the shadow accepts you and everything you have done. in the end, the shadow is all you have left." (i dont remember the exact words but thats how it went)

You can hear the regret in Vaders voice when he softly says to Luke. 'It's is too late for me, son.' He says it is a soft, sad, bitter way.

There will never be a more deeper character than Darth Vader man. This guy is absolutely amazing in character depth. Great stuff. The fear, the anger, the hate. No wonder why he was so powerful in the dark side. Hating yourself is the best dark side driver. It is a circular reaction that no doubt leads to suffering. And man Vader was suffering for years and years and years.

What if Yoda trained Anakin

His life depresses me so I can only imagine what it would be like to actually be him. To be the second most powerful being in the galaxy in every way but yet fail at all of your life’s ambitions, I have a lotta respect for him keeping going

"Tell your sister... you were right..." Cue the tears. Or: "I'm no Jedi." "AHSOKA!"

Good within him, there still is. Reject the dark path, he will.

I wish more people recognise Anakins character development from the clone wars(the show). Even tho they are the same character, they are different in a sense.

Now that is pod racing.

With every video I watch of Anakin/Darth Vader my respect grows for him exponentially and I feel for him too.

feel bad for Vader..

I think he is a very amazing well rounded charter. Hes not a "Mary Sue" in any case of the word and has an actually interesting and tragic backstory and feels more human than the other charters.

Padmé had her life force sucked out by Palpatine, though.

I like that the way that you always bring a humanity to Vader. Despite all his evil deeds, he was still a human being. Anakin was always there, no matter how hard he tried to repress him.

I have crippling happiness!!!

What if Anakin didn't kill the sand people? What if Padme was also a Jedi? What if Count Dooku never went to the dark side? what if Watto didn't sell Anakin's mother to the the Lars family?

What if Rey's parent is The Legend27?

Oh man. I was reading your comment under your last video regarding your amount of subscribers and your passion for your community. I want to agree to that and congratulate you, not even to the 228.000 subs, but to your grade of quality. I am not that new here, neither am I present since your old days. But what I noticed and really want to highlight is your change from Capslock-titles that were annoying me as kinda clickbaity, to now calm, steady and sorted titles. Additionally you seem to read and respond to so many comments, which is - to me at least - the probably most honorable trait of any youtuber. Interacting with the community in a way that every viewer feels like what he thinks about your videos matter is a really great thing and I thank you for it. Also the fact that you cover so much stuff about the prequels and explain their backgrounds, despite the fact that those are hated so much is something I really love here, because in my opinion their genius concepts and details are overlooked way too much. So I want to write that comment and thank you for your reliable daily work of pushing out videos with such a quality of pure content. I wanted to tell you that (now referring to the way I came to write this comment) before you hit too many subscribers. It is only a matter of time until you will not be able to keep up with the amount of comments that your subscribers will be pushing out, but at least your community has a sense of writing non-childish and constructive messages. So yeah, I really cannot await your eventual great success, although I wish it wouldn't happen so this bond to your community can prevail. Keep up your good work but remember also not to overdo it and take your time if necessary. I don't care wether I see brilliant videos like those daily or 2-3 times a week, I will definitely come back for every new one of them :) Have a great day and may the force be with you!

Everytime you make a video about Darth Vader, I love him even more!

Man I like how you do these story's straight out of the book. Like how you go in depth on how he felt in the suit etc would like to see more

What if nobody found Anakin on Tatooine.

A great analysis, I love how you gathered multiple resources that say so much of Anakin/Vader. Thank you! May the force be with you, always...

I just love all the Darth Vader videos you make .keep the good work !

I liked it. Depression get get you so low to a point, where you can literally hate everything around you

Good video, thanks for uploading.

Your videos on Star Wars are the best!

Wow for the first time i feel bad for vader. He needs a hug

Excellent video, thank you.

I love this channel because I have something Star Wars related to watch everyday

I hope you are having a good day as well my friend. I love your videos and I love learning about everything starwars especially vader. thank you for uploading regularly and thank you for making great videos. keep it up can't wait for more.

Another fantastic Video provided by Star Wars Theory. May the force be with you!

Literally one of my fave youtubers

love your videos dude

I swear, these videos are amazing. i love learning about the inner views and such of star wars. Makes everything more real. I admit the prequels were only a portion of what the originals were and that anakin was a bit weepy, but only because we were only shown those aspects. the clone war show, shows more into him to make the prequels more bearable to watch now. old republic past is amazing feat, and events that will happen in the future such as episode 8 I hope will go into a much larger and deeper view. Keep up with the videos man, and may the force be with you bro.

Brilliant, as always. :)

Great video! You've earned my followership.

One of your best videos.

Love these videos!

I love this character more and more with each passing year

This guy only has around 230,000 subs? He deserves like... 2 million or a million, THIS GUY IS SO SO SO SO entertaining!

keap up the good work I love your video

What if they had never requested to land in the beginning of Phantom Menace!?!?!?

Always will enjoy watching videos frm this channel

The first six episodes really ARE the Tragedy of Darth Vader, just like Lucas said.

another great video star wars theory

Nice vid dude

Man, I just want to give Darth Vader a hug now.

The in film examples that you gave to justify your reason for Darth Vader's viewing of himself were superb.

Love it I think you really made a huge point on how Vader is kind of forced to follow the Dark Side if he likes it or not great video man thanks so much

Fantastic video

You say that Anakin was brought back to the light but I feel it was more that he could't stand the sight of his child being harmed by Darth Sidious so he gave into his anger again and killed him. He might have done it out of love for his son but also out of hate for Sidious for harming his son. So the light and dark side more or less cancel each other out.

I can feel lıke ım watchıng starwars movıes when ı watch your videos.You are explanıng the lore so great.thank you!

Did Vader ever realize that Palpatine orchestrated everything?

WOW another great video on vader thank you

Great Video

Holy shit congrats on being nearly 1/4 of the way to a million subs dude.

that internal conflict T_T good job on anylizing

Nice video man could you do some more Vader/Anakin vids?

this was excellent

Anakin's self-loathing and Luke's redeeming love are precisely why Rey as "the heroine of Disney's fanfic trilogy" doesn't work. She has absolutely nothing to offer to be like or to be seen as "a hero".

His story is bad ass but I kinda feel bad for Vader because of all his hate towards him self for what he did and he has to live with that it's really crazy awesome video

MOST EPIC OUTRO EVER LOVE IT

I really like the videos that have darth vader as principal topic

What if Jar Jar never petitioned the Senate to give Palpatine emergency powers?

poor vader :(

awesome video

great video

thanks for making this I knew that Vader was completely self loathing but you explained the in do much more depth I didn't know how he viewed the galaxy either so , you taught me something today :-)

I feel really bad for Anakin, although I wouldn't last nearly as long as he did with that shit suit he had to put up with for his whole life

bro, you made a grown man cry. Thank you for this video.

Awsome video

Great video! I would love to see a video about what Yoda and Obi-Wan thought when Anakin was a force ghost with them.

Another fantastic video! What is the soundtrack that plays at the very end of all your videos?

Hey I've been watching your channel since you were still getting started and I am really amazed how far you have come. Is there any tips you could share with how you did it? I would really appreciate the help

While I do concur that Vader hated himself (that's one of the crucial aspects of his character), I do think we have to remember and touch upon how power hungry he was. Vader became one of the most powerful Sith Lords in the entire history of the Star Wars universe. And, I think, truly embodied what it meant to be a Sith Lord. Sure, he hated himself, but he also loved how powerful the Dark Side made him. This is shown in the movies quite clearly, I think.

This is why Vader and Anakin are my favorite character(s) in Star Wars

He feels bad for the way things turned out, and tortures his emotions.... which gives him More rage and more power.... now that’s how you write a character

I think this is your best video. Can you do a video on what the galaxy would look like under Vader's rule?

I always thought when he says "It is too late for me, son." is all the evidence needed to prove he wasn't beyond saving.

Star Wars is brilliant because the final battle with the big bad was won without miraculously suddenly getting better at fighting than the bad guy, the battle was won specifically by refusing to fight, showing Vader kindness and love that he forgot was even possible.

GOD for the love of GOD can Bethesda create a Star Wars RPG

Loved the vid! Can you do a vid on how powerful Anakin truly was as the chosen one

Not even Shakespeare could write a character so complex and tragic. I feel so bad for Anakin, he just wanted to help the ones he cared about but was never allowed to care :(.

Vader hits close to home becausey depression reflects vader

I love that Outro

The intro is great

Great video. Will u please do a what if count dooku never turned to the dark side I feel that would be awesome

Enlightening. Please, more of the same in the future. Thank you.

Palpatine is one of the greatest SoBs in cinematic history.

Love your videos man!! well my father named me after star wars haha Anakin legit
