What do you think is the darkest Star Wars moment? Let us know in the comments!

"You were the Chosen One!" So much pain in Obi Wan's voice as he said that. That whole scene is incredibly acted and unbelievably emotional

[brandonmentrasti]

I feel like krell tricking the clone troopers to kill each other should've made the list

[diegoperezcotto]

The saddest part is that the armor the clones were wearing to honor Ahsoka

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

“Do we skip over the Clone Wars’ moments?”
*WatchMojo:* _”I don’t.”_

[anujviswanathan]

Can't believe you didn't mention Satine's death, THAT was the one that broke Obi's spirit, almost at least

[apwannabe]

4 other moments:
- Ahsoka being framed
- Satine’s death
- Krell tricking the clones into killing each other
-Fives’ death

Palpatine: I’m too weak
Anakin: ok so Siths are weak ok, have a good death

Written and directed by: George Lucas

I’m surprised Pong Krell’s command didn’t make the list. Not only was his fight against the 501st and 212th clones brutal by itself, but the fact that he gave them orders with the intent of sacrificing their lives and he tricked the 501st and the 212th into a firefight that killed Waxer by friendly fire was surprisingly brutal.

The Clone wars order 66 Scene had to be the saddest moment of Star Wars I’ve ever seen Rex was literally trying to fight the inhibitor chip but in the end it was just too much

[HamzaKhan-eqzd]

Star Wars made me fall in love with Cinema. Remember being a little 6 year old watching the original trilogy before Episode 1 was announced. Absolutely amazing.

Rex during Order 66:“I can’t Ahsoka help me!”

Cody:🤩

[diegoperezcotto]

Order 66 is the most darkest and horrifying moment ever in the universe of Star Wars when we can see all the clone troopers killing all the jedis in the movies and series of Star Wars

[mfserious]

I thought Darth Maul killing Satine right in front of Obi Wan was pretty dark. Heck almost all of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was really dark at times.

[piercepayumo]

Obi-Wan: "I have the high ground!"

Anakin: "You underestimate my power."

[arthurfortes]

"How Dark is Star Wars?"
"Yes"
"But It is also watched by a lot of children"
"Also yes"

[owaindavies]

The audacity to have this and not include Pong Krell and his Umbara stuff 😂

[diegoperezcotto]

Ahsoka:Rex, set those blasters to stun.We don’t want to hurt them


Obi-Wan and Yoda:

[diegoperezcotto]

Sidious:Execute Order 66
Rex:*Scratches his eyes with his Middle Finger* Yes Lord Sidious

[generalkenobi]

*"Hello There My Friends! Happy May The 4th to each one of you!"*
