Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith details Anakin’s fall to the Dark side, including his slaughter of younglings and Padmé’s death.
The Star Wars franchise depicts a constant battle between good and evil that almost always ends with a victory for the heroes. As such, most of the movies are upbeat and hopeful. Yet, one stands out as the most depressing. No, not Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which tells the story of a team on a suicide mission to steal the plans to the Death Star.
The Empire Wins in 'Revenge of the Sith' Padmé Amidala says it best in the film when she says, "This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause." Chancellor Palpatine , who is secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, takes power for himself, becoming the Emperor and dismantling the democratic system that the Republic thrived on. Throughout the series, Palpatine plays both sides of the war, so he could never lose.
'Revenge of the Sith' Completes Anakin's Fall to the Dark Side Throughout the prequel trilogy, Anakin is the main character, but he cannot be referred to as the hero because of his actions in Revenge of the Sith. His exact morality is hard to track, as it changes multiple times, but the film leaves Anakin at his darkest. From the beginning, fans knew he would become Darth Vader, but that doesn't make his fall from grace any easier to watch.
