Revenge of the Sith/YMMV


 * Anti-Villain: Vader, at least in comparison to Palpatine.
 * Anvilicious: Some people felt that Padme's "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause" line was a blatant jab at things like the Patriot Act and the overall culture of post-9/11 America. For what it's worth, George Lucas has implied that it was actually supposed to be referencing Nazi Germany.
 * Complete Monster: Palpatine, of course.
 * He's Just Hiding:
 * Was done to Mace Windu and Aayla Secura, even though they're both killed onscreen.
 * Mace's survival is at least somewhat plausible. He loses his hand, gets zapped by lightning, and tossed from a significant height, all of which Jedi are shown to be able to survive throughout the saga (although never all at once.) Secura however, gets shot in the back by at least a dozen troops at near point-blank range, and her body continues to be shot as the camera pans out.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: C-3PO remarks as he pilots Padme's ship "that [he] may be getting the hang of this flying." Then Disney's Star Tours ride was revamped and guess who now pilots your Starspeeder 1000?
 * Hype Backlash: This movie is often lumped together with the other two prequels and carelessly declared to be just as bad.
 * Idiot Plot: Much of the reason Anakin loses trust in the Jedi and eventually betrays them is due to them not trusting him, thus giving him good reason to do the same. In the end, Anakin's betrayal of the Jedi was as much them pushing him away as him turning his back on them.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Palpatine, of course. He plays every single character in the movie like a fiddle and becomes dictator of the entire galaxy by the end of the second act, and by the end of the movie all of his potential enemies are either dead, on the run or on his side. Granted, at least part of this is due to the fact that some of those enemies arenot always the brightest folk, but they suspected that something was wrong with him being in power so long and thought at the very least that the Sith might be controlling him, and he still manages to cover his tracks until its too late for them.
 * Memetic Mutation: Vader's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" has since been used as a way (mostly in jest) to show great disapproval over things on forums and message boards.
 * "You underestimate my power!!!"
 * "You were the chosen one!", usually in rage comics to show betrayal but full variations of the quotation have been made.
 * "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground.", since It Makes Sense in Context (just about), but sounds silly anyway.
 * Narm:
 * All of the dialogue between Anakin and Obi-Wan right before and during their duel. Seriously, it's like the writers were trying to make the lines as bad and cheesy as possible.
 * "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" That line alone pretty much sums up the movie. When your Dark Lord of the Sith sounds like the slow member of the debate team, you've got problems.
 * "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
 * Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Those who hated the first two movies generally consider the third to be this. Those who enjoyed the first two regard it as an Even Better Sequel.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Order 66, especially when you see Yoda's anguish at
 * Padme's death, just after naming her twin children Luke and Leia.
 * During her funeral procession, there is a shot of her casket that shows she's holding the necklace Anakin gave her as a child. Bawl.
 * Youngling Zett Jukassa being mercilessly gunned down by the clone troops before a horrified Bail Organa's eyes.
 * "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!"
 * Obi-Wan after defeating Anakin and leaving him to die. There's a shot of him sitting in the cockpit of his ship pondering what he's just done.
 * The Narmful Big No aside, Anakin's painful transformation into Darth Vader.
 * "Where is Padme? Is she safe?"
 * "Master Skywalker, there are too many of them. What are we going to do?"
 * The final shot of the film, Owen and Beru, holding baby Luke, and watching the suns set over Tatooine while Luke's theme from the original film plays.
 * What an Idiot! : Seriously, Yoda. A Sith Lord is taunting you which he ends with "Now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side," whilst raising his hands towards you, very very slowly. And you were still surprised when he cast lightning at you?
 * Yoda may have been feigning his surprise to confuse Sidious. Notice he recovers fairly quickly. On the other hand, Mace Windu was downright stupid: he had a Sith Lord right in front of him, unarmed but still clearly dangerous, and he doesn't even think to incapacitate him or, you know, chop off his hands so he can't use it.
 * More likely Yoda just underestimated Palpatine. He has casually deflected Force Lightning before (from Dooku in the previous film); he thought he could do so again. Palpatine was stronger than he thought
 * Anakin for believing absolutely everything Palpatine tells him, especially his claim to be able of saving Padme after revealing his identity as Darth Sidious (the ultimate source of all the previous attempts on Padme's life).
 * What Could Have Been: At least the deleted scenes of Padmé, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and others sowing the seeds of the Rebellion were on the special features DVD. Some scenes that were written or even shot (that weren't finished or included) include a re-appearence of Qui-Gon Jinn as a force ghost, and Jar Jar Binks fully realizing the scale of his mistake in a conversation with Palpatine after the Empire is declared.
