    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: It's over Anakin, I have the high ground.

      Anakin Skywalker: You underestimate my power!

      Obi-Wan: Don't try it.

    • 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.

    7.6?! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY?!

    The most tragic and interesting part in the prequel trilogy. Emotions during the viewing will be just on top, there are inconsistencies with the canon, but this does not spoil the impression of the film. You get into this story and empathize, everything is done very exciting, Lucas can only be praised...

    Definitely worth watching, as well as the rest of the parts. This, as for me objectively, is the best part along with the fifth episode.

    Acting, dialogues, soundtrack, cinematography, characters, emotional intensity - I'm thrilled!! And I'm amazed why 7.6?!??

    My rating : 10/10 (Masterpiece)
