''Revenge of the Sith'', the final film in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga and the third episode chronologically, portrays the culmination of the Clone Wars, Anakin's turn to [[The Dark Side]] (and transformation into Darth Vader), the destruction of the entire order of the Jedi (the titular revenge), and the rise of the Galactic Empire. The film concludes with the single longest lightsaber battle of all six films. It is considerably [[Darker and Edgier]] than ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' and ''[[Attack of the Clones]]''.

* [[Chickification]]: Padme, an [[Action Girl]] for parts of Episodes I and II, spends most of this film pining for Anakin and displaying some [[Badass Decay]], although her pregnancy partially explains this.

* [[Children Are Innocent]]:

''[[Moral Event Horizon|(ignites lightsaber)]]'' }}

* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: Grievous is never really explained; all of his backstory and reasons to be worried about him are in the [[Clone Wars]] cartoon.

* [[The Chessmaster|The Dejarik Master]]: Sidious

* [[Deliberately Triggering the Trap]]:

'''Obi-Wan:''' ''(grins)'' Spring the trap. }}

* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Several battle droids were seen falling down to Coruscant when the ''Invisible Hand'' was losing stabilization and sinking to Coruscant in the beginning of the battle. Inverted with {{spoiler|Boga}}, who was a hero, and yet was shot down into a ravine alongside Obi-Wan during {{spoiler|Order 66}}.<ref>The Obsessed With Star Wars Trivia Game implies that she underwent a [[Disney Death]].</ref>

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Grievous' voice.

* [[Exact Words]]: Palpatine, to the Separatist High Command, before Vader arrives on their hideout towards Mustafar to ultimately slaughter them (and he did mean it, just not in the way they thought he meant).

'''Darth Sidious:''' "You have done well, Viceroy. When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you." }}

** Similarly, this is how Palpatine managed to get the audience to believe that the Jedi turned traitor. Technically, they were going renegade and trying to throw a coup against Palpatine. He just left out the little detail that he is a ''Sith Lord''.

* [[Fearful Symmetry]]: In the climatic final battle, there are a fair number of moments where [[Student and Master Team|Obi-Wan and Anakin]] mirror each other's movements perfectly, complete with a Force-push [[Beam-O-War]] which sends them each flying in opposite directions.

* [[Final Solution]]:

* [[Finish Him!]]: Palpatine gets Anakin to execute Dooku this way.

* [[The Force]]: Stover's known for somewhat [[Purple Prose|flowery philosophical prose]], and this comes into play full force whenever Obi-Wan fights. By letting go of his ''self'', he loses his sense of identity and allows the Force to move through him, allowing him to get through impossible odds. By contrast, The Dark Side requires users to make [[The Force]] to do their bidding.

* [[Hope Springs Eternal]]: Even in a galaxy torn be death and sadness, [[A New Hope]] shall one day rise.

* [[I Am the Noun]]

'''Palpatine''': I '''am''' the Senate! }}

* [[In Medias Res]]: Similar to ''[[A New Hope]]'', this film starts off with a spacebattle, where much has transpired before we catch up on the story.

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Palpatine's rise possibly could have been averted if Anakin, Windu and Obi-wan just took a few minutes to talk and actually listen to each other.

* [[The Power of Love]]: In the book, an invocation of this is what steers it into the more positive kind of [[Bittersweet Ending]]. After numerous notes about the omnipresence of darkness and its assured victory, about how even stars die, this is the last page.

Love can ignite the stars. }}

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: The [[Novelization]] was a departure from the other movie novelizations in that it wasn't just a prettied-up transcript of the movie. This was written by [[Matt Stover]], who changed parts of the script given to him and expanded on some points while minimizing others, although George Lucas approved of all of the changes he made. People who have read it tend to call it superior to the movie - more time was spent on Anakin's fall and Padme's thoughts, and it's much darker than the movie was, though like all of Stover's works it's not devoid of hope.

* [[The Starscream]]: Anakin.

* [[They Died Because of You]]:

'''Darth Sidious''': It would [[Exact Words|appear that]] in your anger, you killed her. }}

* [[They Were Holding You Back]]: Obi-Wan and Padme for Anakin. Sidious manipulates Anakin into killing/driving them away ''himself.''
