Revenge of the Sith: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Actionized Sequel]]: The film has many more battle sequences and one-on-one duels than ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', including a lengthy [[Action Prologue]].

* [[Agony Beam]]: Force Lightning, which Palpatine uses to kill {{spoiler|Mace Windu}}.

* [[All There in the Manual]]:

* [[Always Save the Girl]]: [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Anakin, you well-intentioned idiot!]]

* [[Amplified Animal Aptitude]]: You could say it's Obi-Wan guiding her through the Force, but Boga is very good at knowing where he wants her to take him, in three dimensions no less. Made more blatant in the novelization; he sees an almost Jedi-like calm dedication to service in her eyes, she follows spoken orders to go home and then comes back to be there when he needs another lift, and obeys more spoken orders to destroy a specific part of a parked ship with her tail. For his part, Obi-Wan banters as playfully with her as with Anakin or Commander Cody, and acts like she's an intelligent being who can understand him and his reasoning.

* [[Arc Words]]: In the novelization, variations on ''All things die'' and ''Even stars die'', though it's not said by any of the actual characters.

* [[An Arm and a Leg]]: [[Bloodless Carnage|Numerous people lose limbs.]] It is Star Wars, after all.

* [[Epic Tracking Shot]]: The opening battle follows two lowly Jedi Starfighters as they swoop in to join a massive battle above Coruscant.

* [[Ethereal Choir]]: When Anakin's rebirth as Vader is complete, a mournful choral theme is heard.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: After Palpatine reveals himself to be a Sith Lord, he puts on his [[Black Cloak]]. After he officially [[The Empire|becomes emperor]], he openly wears a traditional red Sith robe.

** Anakin also puts his hood up a lot more after being christened Darth Vader, and in the ultimate evil costume switch, he ''[[Becoming the Mask|becomes]]'' the biomechanical suit of armour we are familiar with.

** To a degree, this also applies to the Republic clones, whose outfits and arsenal more closely resemble the later Imperial Stormtroopers that they would ultimately become.

* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Once Darth Sidious drops his act as the [[Glorious Leader]] Palpatine, it's time to chew apart the scenery.

** Grievous is pretty hammy too, spouting movie-villain cliches in a ridiculous ''Transylvanian'' accent.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: [[Captain Obvious|Anakin.]]

* [[Fallen Hero]]: The point of the movie.

* [[False Reassurance]]: Palpatine to Nute Gunray. "When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will...[[Deadly Euphemism|take care of you.]]"

* [[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]]:

* [[Is That a Threat?]]: Palpatine to Windu. Leads into [[I Am the Noun]].

* [[Joker Jury]] / [[Kangaroo Court]]: Windu implies that Palpatine will use his control over the courts to get himself off scot-free if they attempt to simply have him stand trial and not kill him.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: Nute Gunray pleads for mercy, only to be quickly cut down by Anakin mid sentence.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Padme: "Women on Coruscant don't die in childbirth!"

* [[La Résistance]]: The Rebellion, but unfortunately most of the scenes depicting its formation were cut. Then again, it's far too early for the Rebellion to be formed, since the movie ends shortly after the first "Empire Day".

* [[Last-Minute Baby-Naming]]: Padmé doesn't name her twins until they are born, and she's dying.

* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Mustafar. In fact, it's so lethal (and so lava) that it even manages to (partially) avert the [[Convection, Schmonvection]] rule!

* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Yoda and Obi-Wan decide to tackle the two Sith Lords separately.

* [[New Era Speech]]: Palpatine gets an especially [[Large Ham|juicy]] one as he declares the birth of [[This Is Sparta|''The First! GALACTIC!'' '''EMPIRE!!!''']]

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Grievous, who was specifically described in this manner in tie-in materials as "an alien cyborg."

* [[Noodle Incident]]: "Nine times... that business on Cato Neimoidia doesn't... doesn't count..."

** Said incident occurs in the EU novel ''Labyrinth of Evil''. Obi-Wan loses his rebreather and gets high when a box of hallucinogenic spores cracks and Anakin saves him from disaster. [[It Makes Sense in Context|Obi later saves Anakin from a very nasty chair]].

* [[Offhand Backhand]]: Anakin does this with a lightsaber blaster deflection when a lowly battle droid tries to shoot him in the back. Yoda does this to two [[Mook|Mooks]] with the Force.

* [[One-Woman Wail]]: During a scene when Anakin and Padmé are thinking of one another on Coruscant.

* [[Paradise Lost]]: Anakin, the Jedi's Morning Star, standing against the fire-and-brimstone backdrop of Mustafar.
