This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever: You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down. You don't even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream, forever. You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader's blood. You remember the furnace of Vader's fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth-and there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker. That it was all you. Is you. Only you. You did it. You killed her. You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were only thinking about yourself... it is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith-because now your self is all you will ever have. And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you are like a painter who has gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end, you do not even want to. In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself-and within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame. This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever. From the Revenge of the Sith novelization. Quoted on TV Tropes.
Red Samurai I know. The main character has melted and was put in a suit which brings him a lot of pain which brings him anger which brings him misery and makes him go deeper into the dark side. And Democracy and Freedom have come to an end. And the only people who could protect people were wiped out. And the clones had to watch helplessly as they murdered their best friends because they were brainwashed. And then to add to that two babies were born who lost their mother in childbirth.
Aaron Campbell no, Anakin died at the same time as padme, Darth Vader killed Anakin Skywalker, that's why obi wan said, he ceased to Anakin Skywalker but became Darth Vader
Aaron Campbell Anakin, the Jedi knight died mentally as he was declared Darth Vader, from the point of mace windu being electricuted Anakin was no longer
The ending of this theme signifies the ending of relationship, a once great Jedi turned to the dark side and a tragic life that unfolded for so many years. It's just hard to look back at Anakin's past and saw a boy who once thought would be the most powerful Jedi ever but turned into a monster in a suit who is filled hate and power.
No matter how many times you watch this movie, no matter how much you know the original trilogy is about to happen, every time you watch, part of you hopes it's going to end differently than this scene.
the feeling also lingers during the clone wars series. you see all of the relationships build. connections each character has with one another. they laugh together and trust each other, but you can't help but know it's going to end with betrayal and tragedy.
Leia: Luke, what's wrong? Luke: Leia... do you remember your mother- your real mother? Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young. Luke: What do you remember? Leia: Just images really. Feelings. Luke: Tell me. Leia: She was very beautiful, kind, but... sad....

Here, Vader knows Padme is just gone. And his mentor, father like figure (as he once believed), Palpatine is all he has left, so he just sticks with him.
I love it. It's a symbol of how hope will one day flourish and destroy Palpatine, the Empire, and the Dark Side of the Force itself...but for now, the Sith have their revenge, and the galaxy must endure the darkness in the meantime.
Here after learning of James Earl Jones passing. This embodies the void left in my heart perfectly. May James rest in peace and be forever remembered dearly in our hearts. 😭😢
Revenge of the Sith would not have hit as hard as it did were it not for John Williams’ phenomenal score. This moment just sends chills down my spine every time I see it.
Out of the ashes of an army and order that has been extinct for thousands of years, returns the sith order, the sith army and the sith fleet in the form of the galactic empire. Thus, begins their 20 year reign.
Hitler's Third Reich (which the Galactic Empire takes inspiration from) also planned to last 1,000 years. They lasted only for 12 years, from 1933-1945. And not short enough it was.
"With the fall of Coruscant and the elimination of the traitorous Jedi, Palpatine’s rise to power was complete. In recognition of our service and loyalty to the emperor, the 501st replaced under the direct command of Lord Vader. Armed with deadly new weapons, blazing new ships, and shining new armor, our presence let the galaxy know that the days of the Old Republic were well and truly over. We were establishing a new era: An era of order and peace."
Man I'm being honest, I prefer the Clones in LEGENDS because it's not like they were brainwashed when Order 66 happened, they just went along with it and agreed that the Jedi were traitors. Because I can name a few Clone Commanders that never liked the Jedi.
The transition from funeral theme to empire theme is just brilliance. Again why the fuck did John Williams not get at least a nomination for this score? This is outrageous, this is unfair
Revenge of the sith is my all time FAV of the Star Wars film history, love this film so much. The cue when the Death Star is shown being constructed and the music comes dark, dramatic and powerful.. gives me goosebumps every time. Darth Vader and the emperor looking out at the construction and the empire theme is heard, brilliant moment. Rise of the empire is my fav track of the ost, I think that scene where it plays was my 2nd fav scene in the film.
This is without a doubt the best piece of music from star wars. Like if you've only seen the first 2 films of the prequel trilogy you can very likely guess what's going on in this scene just by the music. We start with the funeral theme from episode one, which tells us there's a funeral and / or death. But who's death? Then we have across the stars which tells us anakin and padme have died. Then the question is, how did they die? Then we get the imperial march. Vader killed them. But anakin is still in there somewhere? No, we get the funeral theme playing w the March. Vader has killed anakin. It's only darkness now
Interesting fact the music was composed and recorded on mustifar because it’s the only planet capable of containing the fire being produced by john Williams and his orchestra
0:40 chills everytime man, that timestamp onward really gives the man the villians won this round type feeling. Including the feels of Anakin's in this for real now.
I…I couldn’t have! She was alive!!! I FELT IT!!!!! (He begins getting really angry, he snaps off of the contraption, causing week’s worth of destruction in the lab) *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*
If I may quote a certain video game equivalent, "From the beginning, you know the end." We all knew that Anakin was Darth Vader, but we didn't know how he became darth vader.
this track is very reminiscent of how anakin feels when he sees that he risked everything just to try to save padme and her children, but in the end it conveys the feeling of acceptance of the dark side and the glimpse of the birth of the new galactic empire
What I love about this sequence is that there's no dialogue at all because there's no need for it. The scenes and music tell us everything we know. The galaxy has entered a dark age now. The Republic and Jedi Order are gone. The Clone Army has been turned to Stormtroopers and are being phased out by human recruits. Anakin Skywalker is gone and in place is Darth Vader who willingly serves Palpatine since he's all that's left now with Padme gone. All the while Palpatine smiles in triumph as he's managed to achieve all his goals from turning Anakin to the Dark Side to gaining total power over the galaxy. This music simply put tells us, "The Dark Side has won, and the future for the galaxy is bleak."
I still remember order 66. I was there when it was executed. Look at me now. I am Stromtrooper! I almost forgot how clone armor looked like. After all of this years in the empire i finnaly realised what the rebellion was fighting for! LOL
Because it literally is one, and that's the great thing about the music in this film, without even seeing the scene from the movie, you can kind of get a good idea of what's happening at each point.
During the first version of Padme’s Funeral, the wounds, the anguish, the regret… they were still fresh. In this track, the wounds have been there for longer. There is now only the realisation of Anakin’s self made emptiness.
I remember when star wars episode 3 Revenge of the Sith 15/ half years ago on 25th of may 2005 of that summer 17 year old at that time it's was great time to be a star wars fan of the universe, now years later I'm still reading star wars comics novels history books watching the movies of star wars universe like the clone wars rebels and the mandalorian series. I can't wait for the book of boba fett mandalorian season 3 ahsoka series lando spinoffs Star wars a droid story rouge squadron movie I own this one and tribute to George Lucas the man himself When he returned to the star wars universe it's will be awesome to he come back to star wars and Lucasfilm team for a new era in the galaxy of star wars think you George Lucas so much for greatest years of my life to star wars and may the force be with you all and forever 🤟❤😍

This tune is a perfect example of the lonely, miserable, blood-soaked and power driven path of the Sith. Only absolutes.
