Whoever decided to mix Vader's voice with Anakin's in the end deserves a raise

Seeing Anakin's face gives me chills. Cause with the helmet, you can easily forget that it's literally Anakin in there

The way Ewan's voice breaks while apologizing to Anakin is just absolutely heartbreaking. You really feel his pain.

“I am what remains” is probably my favorite Vader line of all time. It sums up everything about who Vader is. He is what’s left of Anakin Skywalker but physically and emotionally. Broken and evil. That’s Vader.

For me it was always hard to imagine that Hayden Christensen's Anakin and James Earl Jones's Darth Vader were the same person. This scene completely fixed that issue.

The crazed look in his eyes and half smile, after he says “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker… I did” is so well done.

That ending gives me goosebumps every time. You can tell that deep down underneath all the hate, pain, and anger of Vader, Anakin is still in there. And a very small part of Vader still wants Obi-Wan to stay and help him at the end. But this is the beginning of the healing process for Obi-Wan. Until this point, he blamed himself for Anakin’s fall. This was the first time he saw Anakin and Vader as two different people, and the first step to him being able to say to Luke that Vader killed his father. Beautifully done.

The sheer amount of rage in that final shout of "OBI WAN" still gives me chills.

“I am what remains” is full of regret and pain, absolutely beautiful scene.

I feel sad for all the Star Wars fans that we have lost over the years didn’t live to see this moment.

The callback to the line “I will do what I must” is so pivotal to me. To me it signifies that Obi-Wan has finally forgiven himself for what had to happen on Mustafar. He’s deeply sorry it had to come to that, but he recognizes it’s what he had to do, and will do it again if he must.

“Your strength has returned, but the weakness still remains!” I will never get over how he flung that pillar like it was nothing 😅

The fact that Obi-wan wasn’t lying when he told Luke that Darth Vader killed his father in 8:37 really hits me man…

The Saber colors changing on Vaders face as he switches between Anakin and who he is now is truly amazing, how the blue comes in so strong when Vader responds as Anakin, just to be taken over by red as he claims he will destroy Obi Wan. It's amazing

We are so accustomed to the emotionless mask Vader wears that its Jarring to realize there is a smiling, grimacing, emoting face under all that armor the whole time.

If you watch 2:15-2:19 you can see Vader taking small steps back, just goes to show how cautious he was fighting obi-wan with his new lightsaber technique, he did not want to lose a second time. Truly a broken man. As Palpatine said himself "Vader is strong, but strong enough to succeed me? Never"

"Anakin's gone. I am what remains." That line hits hard, and Hayden delivers it so well. This whole scene is my favourite scene in any Star Wars movie.

As a kid, watching them duel in episode 3 was a spectacular scene to witness. Watching them duel 17 years later, you feel this overwhelming surge of emotions. Men who once fought alongside each other, and thought of one another as brothers, now old and scarred, fighting on opposite sides.

The "I did" by Darth is probably the two most heartbreaking words of the entire star wars franchise.

Ewan’s face was perfect. We could see the joy at seeing his friend again, the horror at what his friend had become, the hope that he might be able to reach him, and the fear he had for the children. Both men did a wonderful job.

“I am not your failure, Obi-Wan.” I love how this can be interpreted in several ways. Either Vader’s too proud to say he’s anyone’s “failure,” or Anakin doesn’t want his old friend to blame himself. Or it’s a combination of both.

“I am what remains”- that line always gives me chills. Hayden delivered it beautifully. It symbolizes the little ounce of good that’s left in Anakin beneath all that darkness. You can hear the hurt and regret in his voice as he says it. On top of that, Obi-Wan’s apology is so heartbreaking because he took it upon himself to train Anakin since he was a little boy. He blames himself for Anakin’s downfall, especially because he promised Qui-Gon he would train him. Outstanding acting by Hayden and Ewan!

That moment when he says "Goodbye Darth" is epic. Ties the whole series together with the first movie

The way he smirks and has that murderous glimmer in his eye when he says that he killed Anakin Skywalker just gives me chills. This is one of the best scenes in the entire franchise

One thing I love is that the final episode showed what Vader really was. Underneath the strength, the cruelty and the hatred was a sad broken man whose anger was the only thing keeping him going who hated himself more then anything else.

Honestly, That final scene of Vader screaming after Obi Wan gave me the chills Here’s Vader, wheezing and can barely breathe, but out of pure rage he screams Obi Wan’s name so loud it reverberates across the dead planet

The serie had its flaws, but Obi-Wan and Vader interactions were gold. Props to Ewan and Hayden (and James Earl Jones) for their performances

“I’m not your failure Obi-Wan” for me is one of Star Wars’ most iconic lines. It can be taken in multiple ways. In one way it’s in response to “I’m sorry Anakin” it’s an acknowledgment of that apology and also it’s almost an apology back to Obi-Wan. But in the same breath it can also be interpreted as “Don’t take pity on me” “I’m not your failure, because I am proud of what I have become. The death of Anakin is not a loss, so therefore there is no failure.” And it could probably be interpreted in multiple other ways too. This exchange is really so powerful.

I love that he says “Goodbye Darth”.

That very last strike by Obi Wan is actually so sick. He has always been a much more defensive and conservative fighter. It’s the classic mix-up right when it counts. A true master

“But the WEAKNESS… STILL REMAINS!” James Earl Jones kills it dude

The performance by both Hayden and Ewan in this scene is amazing. It's utterly heart breaking. To see a burden lifted but also a loss of a brother confirmed.

"I will do what I must" -Obi-Wan "You will try" - Anakin "I will do what I must" -Obi-Wan "...Then you will die" -Vader

The relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin is my favourite part of Star Wars. I remember watching Revenge of the Sith when it premiered and the final moments on the lava banks of Mustafar always stuck out to me. I was so hyped to know we were not only getting a Kenobi series but that the former master and apprentice would face off once again, while I’ve heard some fans gripe about the show, this really delivered for me emotionally. The storytelling of their relationship from the Prequels through the show and into the Original Trilogy is top notch and helped by superb acting by Ewan and Hayden ❤

I really like the scale of the force feats in this, despite it being kinda inconsistent, I’ve always wanted to see Vader perform crazy feats like breaking the ground from under you. It really sells the idea that this guy put the galaxy into submission

Imagine how awkward it was for the Grand Inquisitor or any Imperials to pick up Vader after he got his ass kicked lol

Obi wan saying: goodbye, Darth. Is such an underrated moment

This goes down as a truly iconic moment in StarWars history

"Anakin is gone. I am what remains." Hayden was absolutely perfect in this scene. He said so much with so little. You get to see the depths of the twisted, gnarled form that Anakin has taken on. He is what remains of the passionate, bright, exceptionally talented Jedi Knight; a desiccated husk, a withered, atrophied shade clinging onto fury and hatred as his life force. He is not the cold, emotionless killer that he is made out to be at times. He is driven, focused on his dread single purpose: to utterly destroy the man he believes took everything from him. Only pain remains, and he wields that pain like a finely-honed blade, one that he would gladly give anything to use in service of demolishing the very essence of Obi-Wan. The perfection of the Sith form.

"I am what remains" is such a powerful line. He's almost admitting that he's leftovers, less than what he was. And I feel like we see that in the fight, in how at first they were evenly matched, but because he has to have life support, he has an obvious Achilles heel that he didn't have before.

"you didnt kill anakin skywalker, i did" i love how you see the blue lightsaber on his face when he says that and then you see the red one when he goes back to evil, really great storytelling with the surroundings

Probably the best scene in Star Wars. Shame about the rest of the show but this part was incredible. The horror and sadness to see what tortured soul Anakin was. The mixing of Anakin's human voice with the robotic was a genius move.

The tear running down Anakin’s face is such a nice detail. He was a slave to the force, forced to be light and dark against his own will. Anakins story is one of the greatest tragedies in modern entertainment. All he wanted was a family and happiness. His purpose was way greater than that though, until the very end

I come back occasionally to rewatch this beautiful scene. In my personal opinion, it practically carried this entire show alone...

"I am what remains". Terrific line of dialogue - especially the use of the word "remains". He knows AND ADMITS what he is now is a lesser form of the original, something that's been broken into pieces that are now gone. I think Anakin shows himself there for a moment. But then he seems to sort of recover, and become Vader again, saying how he is the one who killed Anakin - not Obi-Wan.

This is why Vader is the best villain ever written. Even after the monster is beaten, knowing everything he’s done; you still feel sorry for him

After ten years Vader finally had the high ground. To bad he made the same mistake Obi Wan did. Always make sure they're dead before you walk away. Thank you all for the likes! Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

Hearing Vader's wailing and hearing his struggled breath or wheezing reminded me of how the dark side isn't all about anger, and just how much agony and pain he went through. Anger and hate do lead to suffering after all.

The raw emotion Obi-Wan conveys when he says I’m sorry still cripples me! A seemingly second chance to save his brother, then realizing he’s too far gone. Obi-Wan will always be my favorite! 💙

Say what you will about the rest of the show but this fight was truly amazing.

Not gonna lie. At 44 years old this made me tear up. This series was AMAZING.

The glow of the lightsabers signifying anakins struggle within himself was simply amazing, such an emotional finale

“Did you truly think that you could defeat me” So sick! Classic.

3:46 can you imagine Vader being like :”it’s over obi-wan. I have the high ground” lol

This one scene makes the whole series worth it. Exactly what we wanted to see

The line "Anakin's gone, i'm what remains" is one of the best lines in television/cinema history, it carries the weight of over 4 decades worth of lore perfectly

This scene is so powerful & sad at the same time. Just amazing

Just fantastic. The hurt in his voice when he says "I am what remains " is just so damn powerful.

Up until now, I never truly felt like Anakin/Vader from the prequel-original trilogies were the same characters. Sure, we see Anakin transform into Vader in Episode III, but considering we didn’t see Vader until years later, it really didn’t feel like they were the same person. This scene changed all of that; seeing half of the helmet gone, and seeing a face that actually resembles the Anakin we know, the voice going back and fourth between Anakins genuine voice and the robotic tones of Vader, having these overlapping features just brings it all in. It really does do a lot for Anakin as a character, and adds so many layers to him, and Star Wars as a whole. I absolutely love this scene, and it is so heartbreaking to see the moment when he says “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker… I did.” It feels like just for a moment, Vader regrets what he has done, what he’s become, and what he has to do. And that’s something that I’ve never felt from Vader- even when he killed the emperor, it felt like it was for Luke, not him. This one feels like entirely self-reflection, and I love it. Mwah.

I feel like this is the transition piece that was needed to make the prequels, clone wars, and original trilogy feel like one story. And it executed it beautifully. I literally cried when Obi-Wan apologized.

What a beautiful scene , Obi-Wan’s reaction is heartbreaking. I love the fact that they mix Vaders voice with Anakin’s voice , simply ingenious. When Vader was calling for Obi Wan gave me chills . Great scene but unfortunately I didn’t feel the same for the whole series

That signature Anakin spin swing at 2:05 tho 🥳🥳❤️❤️

The last moment when Vader called Obi-Wan actually gave me chills. Even though he hates his master for a moment it looked like he wished Obi-Wan would finish him.

The color switch of the lightsaber, the mix between his normal and his robotic voice is heartbreaking, his inner struggle. Obi-Wan tortured himself for years thinking that he killed his best friend and the sad acceptance that his friend is gone forever. Here we saw Anakin on the duel, the same Anakin who lost everything back on Mustafar, the child who was lost all along. I think that what Anakin said of killing what was left of him was the last piece of humanity that he had.

I can’t help but feel bad for Vader even though he is evil😢. He is such a tragic character. Once a gifted boy with a bright future as a Master Jedi, married to a beautiful wife with his son and daughter on their way….now a hateful, mutilated, half-machine, half-human who lost his friends, his wife dead, his children unknown, and constantly suffering from guilt and regrets for his choices, as well as from the physical pain he has to endure for the rest of his life.

Watching this fight for the first time. It was AMAZING the emotions I felt and the pure...I can't physically explain it but it was the best piece of starwars I had ever watched it is still my favourite duel tbh

When Ewan says “Anakin” he put all the pain and regret into that one word. Amazing.

Even in revenge of the Sith we never saw a truly seduced and power drunk Vader in his eyes. He looks so sinister and completely void of all good… the smirk when he says “you didn’t kill anakin skywalker, I did”

As a massive fan of Star wars since I was 5 years old watching Revenge of the Sith in theaters, this duel is such a thrill! U can really feel the tension since Darth is a lot stronger than the last time he fought with Obi wan. Such an amazing spectacle that almost brings a tear to my eye

Was I the only one waiting for Obi Wan to say "I didn't hear no bell, one more round?".

This duel is just as iconic as the Mustafar duel, especially the conclusion where Obi-Wan finally comes to terms with who he's facing. This is no longer the young man he trained and fought against, but a broken, traumatized, hateful and murderous Sith Lord who is more machine than human.

“You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” I like to think both sides of Anakin were speaking here. Anakin himself finally owns up to his mistakes out of some form of regret and introspection, while Vader takes credit and pride for his own transformation.

I can feel the great solitude of Obi Wan beared for so long 😢 I can feel his sadness mixed with hope to see his little boy...I can feel his broken heart...SO SAD!!!!

Can we just appreciate the fact that once Obi wan escapes the rubble, he fought Vader again but not using his style of combat but Anakin's style. He defeated Vader by using Anakin's combat style.

This is without a doubt the best live-action lightsaber duel we've gotten since Anakin vs. Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith.

When Obi Wan apologizes to Anakin, the light reflected on Anakinʻs face changes from red to blue which symbolizes a change in who is talking. In that moment, Anakin is talking to Obi Wan and allows him to be released from guilt saying that it is not Obi Wanʻs fault that Anakin is dead and references Vader as the one who killed Anakin. The light changes back from blue to red to show that Anakin is no longer talking but Vader. Truly a masterpiece and an amazing scene

5:39 I was impressed that Obiwan was using Anakin's spin slash here.😢

Probably one of the best duos in cinema history. And truly amazing acting. Some of the best.

Vader: "Did you truly think you could defeat me?". Obi Wan: "You do know why you are stuck in that suit right?".

This battle is so well done, and seeing Kenobi's apologize was really sad.

Just the emotion in the line “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Anakin. For all of it.” Literally brings me on the brink of tears no matter how many times I hear it. Like just growing up seeing them be basically brothers for so much of the series and to get this concluding fight. It’s just so powerful. And you can just hear the anger in Darths voice as he screams out to Obiwan essentially begging to end his suffering. This was so masterfully done.

The last scene is so fucking good everything about it is perfect. The lighting and how the charactors emotions are shown through the light of the saber, the acting with Ewan McGregor making us feel the emotions of obi wan, and then the sound of darth vaders broken mask is amazing it really sounds like 2 people are sharing the same body

Vader's final scream calling for Obiwan is great

When Obi-Wan said, "Anakin, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything" I started tearing up

Alright all the rocks that Obi-Wan hurls, that's a move right out of the Old Republic. Those pomel strikes are legit Jedi Gaurdian moves, as well as sith.

I appreciate that even as Darth Vader, he makes sure Obi-wan knows it’s not his fault. “I am not your failure, Obi-wan.” Thus absolving Obi-wan for the choices he made himself.

Can we just take in for a moment the respect Vader has for him as well, "he's not just any Jedi" I mean Vader is vicious. We've seen that, and yet his display and acknowledgement of obiwans power with all the emotion that comes with it.. absolute masterpiece

This is when you realize that Vader doesn’t really hate Obi-Wan… He hates himself for causing his own demise, but he sees Obi-Wan as the only person, who im his mind, should’ve sided with him when he turned to the dark side. He sees Obi-Wan as the light side of the force that glimmers around his past. He truly loves Obi-Wan and you can see that everytime they duel, it’s not a full-on combat but rather an exchange… they talk, and then they fight… If you truly hated someone you would just take them out right there and then, and spit on their grave. Vader takes his time, as if welcoming an old friend. An old reminder of the life he had before turning evil…

This is a work of art. I loved it.

This is one of the most beautiful, heartfelt things I have ever seen. My question is that if Anakin is truly gone, why didn’t Obi Wan kill Darth? Perhaps from Sidious finding a new, stronger apprentice?

When Obi-Wan said "I have failed you" on Mustafar, he still hadn't really accepted what had happened to his apprentice. He was in the middle of a duel. He was still angry and still in denial. When he shouted afterwards about having been Anakin's brother, he was in the midst of anger and grief. Anger and Denial, with a bit of Bargaining. The classical stages of grief. Everything after that was Depression. He wasn't hiding from the Empire. He was hiding from himself, unwilling to confront what he saw as his own failure. The Force wouldn't respond to him because he felt he was unworthy of it. He blamed himself for everything that happened. Having something to fight for gave him strength to win this duel, but it's that final conversation with Anakin that finally pushes Obi-Wan into Acceptance. When he finally tearfully apologizes, he's finally having a conversation he was denied in their previous duel while Anakin lay there screaming "I hate you" and burning. He's able to convey to Anakin how sorry he truly is for everything that happened, how he failed to see his friend's pain until it was too late to help him. And I think Anakin, in a way, is responding to that genuine emotion from Obi-Wan. The Vader part of him doesn't mean to reassure him by saying "you didn't kill Anakin, I did." That's just Vader's usual self-justification still at work, convincing himself that turning to the Dark Side was some great victory and not the loss of everything he had ever held dear. But that justification is everything Obi-Wan needed to hear, and maybe, just maybe, there's that tiny spark of Anakin still in there that actually delivered that line. Maybe it's not all Vader, at least for a moment, before Anakin is subsumed again and lost. Either way: Obi-Wan can finally accept that Anakin is gone, finally remember him as the man he was, as a good friend, and see him as a separate person from the Dark Lord he's just utterly defeated. Now, as a Jedi, sitting in a place of acceptance where he can move on, he's able to turn away. He doesn't need to kill Vader now. It would be foolish to: it would draw the Empire down upon him like he'd never seen before. Better to just disappear again. Beyond that, however, he doesn't need to take vengeance for Anakin. He's humiliated his murderer, and come to a place of acceptance. He's seen the fire in Leia. He's been watching Luke. He knows that the time is still not right for the Jedi to return, but that there is a new generation growing (that he has helped to nurture and protect) that will carry on the fight in the future. He can step aside: not to hide from the Empire or from himself any longer, but to pass on the torch. When the Force brings Luke to him, as he knows it must someday, he will be ready to pass on what he has learned. And in the meantime, the creature that remains of what used to be Anakin can stew in its own hate. The suffering it is enduring is beyond any punishment Obi-Wan could deliver. Vader is beneath him, and he moves on, because there are more important things to think of now.

I think this scene may be the most emotion I have felt from Star wars in years. "I'm sorry Anakin, for all of it." Hits hard.

Is no one talking about how Vader socked Obi-Wan in the jaw? Like damn. 3:17

Ive never seen this but daaamn this was beautifully made..insane

I absolutely love the environment of their fight. It's dark, it's desolate, the rocky outcroppings and spires -- there's a crypt-like feeling to it that seems brilliantly appropriate to this point in their lives. It's not Mustafar, rage boiling over on both sides against the backdrop of the climax of a brutal war. They're fighting the ghosts of each other that they've been living with for a decade. It's tragic and a beautiful storytelling choice.

"I am not your failure, you didn't kill anakin skywalker". This words he says with the blue saber light om his face, meaning (to me) he understands kenobis pain and in one moment of small redemption frees kenobi of his guilt so he can be in peace. But then the red light comes back with that evil smile "I did. And I will destroy you". Twisted. Epic shit. Best scene of the show

Idk why but I love 2:16 where Vader switch to 2 handed stance and starts gripping the hilt, he realizes this shit is serious.

I love rewatching this to give me hope for future films and shows, but then i remember this is a fan edit.... At least that proves it CAN be done right

I can’t imagine what obi wan felt when he apologized, he had crippled his best friend, anakin lost his wife and children, forever tormented by that, absolutely incomprehensible

This scene does an incredible job of tying the prequel trilogy and the OT together and making it feel like one story, and makes anakin/vader really feel like the same person. I rlly think this might be one of the best scenes in all of Star Wars
