20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith

Everything you never knew about the best film in the prequel trilogy.

[skateorpie]

The opening of Revenge of the Sith was the best visual opening of all Star Wars and it wasn’t even nominated? Crazy

[vxoejov]

People always say that the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin was too choreographed. People who know know that Anakin and Obi-Wan knew each other's every move. Padawan and Master. Two who fought alongside each other for over 10 years. Two who sparred against each other. So they would know each other move and more.

Love how over 15 years later we still love watching videos on the prequels. Thank u George

The high ground scene is important, not because of a universal tactical advantage, but because his fight with Maul, which he won by the way, lead him to heavily study defense maneuvers of being on the high ground.

I’m about 85% sure tarkin is definitely in rots at the very end standing next to palpatine when Vader walks up to him

I’m 25 and I love revenge of the sith it will always have a special place in my heart

[ApolloV]

In ancient and medieval battles, having the high ground offered a huge tactical advantage

[paulanthony]

The whole movie is a cinematic masterpiece and should have won multiple awards.

How the hell did this not win a VFX oscar? The opening scene blew many minds! Perhaps they thought it wasn't VFX but rather filmed in space.

Thinking back to the early 80' after Empire. My friends and I talked about how Anakin must have been severely burned. I don't know why we thought that but we did. We speculated that the Emperor was the one who injured him so bad he had to go in the suit. We figured the Emperor somehow convinced him to turn. Later years it became obvious that he and Obi-Wan had a duel and Anakin lost. We then thought Vader then became obsessed with Padme and chased her across the galaxy. We figured she ended up dieing in cross fire. We figured since Luke had no memory of her that the twins were split up at birth basically against her wishes.

I have to disagree with the part about releasing the 4hr cut..I think millions of genuine Star Wars fans would buy and watch that over any new Star Wars film, I know I would

[billcowan]

Revenge of the Sith to me is the Greatest Star Wars movie along with the Empire Strikes back👍👍

[christiangauthier]

Christopher Lee IS SUCH A REAL LIFE BADASS! Read about his life and you'll know what I'm talking about!

And coming in and wrapping up the shooting for all of his scenes against a Green Screen in ONLY 2 DAYS is just another example of how awesome he is!

Narrator: "General Grievous was originally a child"
Me: "Wait, weren't we all originally children!?"

*20 Things I Did Know but watched this anyway so i could see a bunch of EP3 bits again.*

Tarkin is in the film. However, it is make up/prosthetics, not CGI.

[ErskineDevlin]

Obi-Wan Knew that Anakin would take a fast and aggressive approach to attacking him on the rocky slope. He wasn't going to carefully pick is way across the terrain to continue their fight. Anakin would force leap towards him and in doing so he left himself open briefly to attack whether he landed in front of him or behind. Obi-Wan had experience using this move against Darth Maul and would have realized later that he was fortunate to catch the arrogant assassin off-guard as he would have been killed instead.

I'm a fan of Episodes I-Vi abd I agree, Revenge Of The Sith is the best on so many levels.

[thogthemighty]

I don't know anyone who makes the claim that the Emperor edit in Empire was bad. It's a pretty straightforward and logical fix that takes away nothing, and is vastly superior to the original. There's no thematic baggage like Hayden ghost or unnecessary cg like the dewbacks and rontos in New Hope, just a fix for what would have otherwise been a weird inconsistency. Especially when you consider it's little more than a cameo, and not an full performance.

Grand Moff Tarkin WAS in Revenge of the Sith at the end scene where the Emperor and Vader were looking at the construction of the Death Star. He was the officer next to Vader.
