'''''Revenge of the Sith''''', the final film in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' prequel trilogy 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]]''.
A few years after the start of the Clone Wars on the previous film, Anakin and Obi-Wan are trying to rescue Chancellor Palpatine from a "kidnapping" by General Grievous, one of the leaders of the Separatists. When they finally find Palpatine, they are confronted by Dooku, that this time is easily defeated by Anakin, which kills him at the urge of Palpatine. With his apprentice now dead, Palpatine finally sets in motion his plan to make Anakin a Sith like him and to finally avenge the Sith for their defeat ten centuries ago and take over the Galaxy, and the fact Padmé is pregnant will only help him more.
Directed by George Lucas. Produced by Lucasfilms Ltd. Distributed by 20th Century Fox.

* [[Actionized Sequel]]: The film has many more battle sequences and one-on-one duels than ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', including a lengthy [[Action Prologue]].
Line 32 ⟶ 36:
** Bail Organa when a youngling is gunned down right in front of him.
* [[Birth-Death Juxtaposition]]: Padme dies on the table while giving birth to Luke and Leia - while on another operating table, Darth Vader takes his first [[Vader Breath|breath]].
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Palpatine rules supreme as Emperor, Anakin has
* [[Black Cloak]]: Palpatine wears one as Darth Sidious. [[Foreshadowing|Anakin also dresses in black for much of the movie.]]
* [[Body Horror]]: Anakin's [[Emergency Transformation|transformation into Vader]]. [[Word of God]] says he wasn't given any anesthetic for it [[Strapped to An Operating Table|and was awake the entire time.]]
Line 167 ⟶ 171:
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: The burnt-out Jedi Temple, as well as Mustafar.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: And ''how''. Made heartbreaking towards the end as we are given a glimpse of all that is to fall under the rule of the Empire.
* [[Screw the Pain Medication]]: Palpatine forbids the medical droids from using anesthetics or pain-killers while they rebuild Darth Vader, leaving him [[And I Must Scream|fully aware of what is happening to him during the multi-day surgery.]]
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: Anakin, trying to stop Padme from dying in childbirth, ends up killing her. Sure, the incompetent docbots say she lost her will to live, but she does so ''while'' giving birth, not because of. And in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Coruscant Nights Trilogy]] her bodyguard, looking over the autopsy report, concludes that she was strangled in a way that didn't bruise, and ''that'' was how she died - choked with the Force. Prophecies are tricky things...
* [[Separated at Birth]]: The twins.
