    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      George Lucas deliberately made the Darth Vader suit top-heavy (for instance adding weight on the helmet) to make Hayden Christensen not appear "too accustomed" to it in the movie.
    • Goofs
      When Padmé is trying to convince Anakin to turn from the dark side on Mustafar, Anakin says "And I'm doing it for you, to protect you," but his mouth says "And I'm doing it because I love you, to protect you."
    • Quotes

      Obi-Wan Kenobi: [anguished] You were the chosen one! It was said that you would *destroy* the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!

      [turns away, picks up Anakin's lightsaber and looks back]

      Anakin Skywalker: [shouts] I HATE YOU!

      [struggles to climb up the riverbank]

      Obi-Wan Kenobi: You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!

      [the heat from the lava ignites Darth Vader's clothes; he screams in agony as he burns]

    • Crazy credits
      The opening logo for 20th Century Fox is static (to match the opening of Episodes 4, 5 and 6), instead of the animated 3-D logo used in Fox films at the time.
    • Alternate versions
      As Obi-Wan leaves Mustafar, there is a shot of him sitting in the cockpit of Padme's Naboo skiff, with C-3PO sitting next to him. The next shot is of the badly burned Anakin trying to claw his way up the lava bank with his remaining prosthetic arm. In the theatrical version, these shots were separated by a wipe. In the DVD, it is a normal cut. But in the 2011 Blu-Ray release, the wipe has been restored.

    Best prequel
    Phantom menace was bad and attack of the clones was god awful but revenge of the sixth is a pretty good and solid movie this is what we wanted the whole prequels to be and Hayden Christiansen does a pretty good job of acting it really only has some small problems like the Vader NOOOO other then that nice fun Star Wars movie
