Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side
In Star Wars: Retribution of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the Dark Side is a complex story involving the forces of love and hate. Anakin’s intense love for Padme eventually led him to take actions that brought about his destruction. Despite being a Jedi, Anakin also wanted to protect his family, and so he joined the Dark side. Unfortunately, this turn led to Anakin’s death. But unlike Padme, Anakin’s son Luke managed to redeem him and stop the Dark side from taking control of the galaxy.
Although Anakin desperately wanted to be a Jedi, he also wanted to stay with Padme and provide for their future family. His desire to protect his family and keep Padme safe eventually led him to the dark side. Anakin’s fall to the dark side stems from his feelings for Padme, and his desire to protect her from the fates of other Jedi has made him more receptive to the Sith philosophy.
Mace Windu’s over-confidence
In star Wars: Reign of the Sith, Mace Windu’s over-confidence is evident from the start, when he goes after the Senate. Palpatine is a Sith, but Windu wants to take over the Senate and essentially rule the galaxy. The similarities between these two men are too great to be ignored. Windu even wants to overthrow the Chancellor, but is too overconfident to do so.
Mace Windu’s over-confidence is an especially frustrating aspect of Star Wars: Reign of the Sith. Although supposed to be a wise Jedi, the over-confidence of Mace Windu feels like lazy writing. It was obvious that the confrontation with Chancellor Palpatine was a plot device, and Mace Windu should have known better than to go up against the Sith Lord himself.
Anakin’s confrontation with Chancellor Palpatine
In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin is forced to face Chancellor Palpatine, a Sith Lord who is a powerful Dark Lord of the Force. In his attempt to save the lives of the Jedi and other members of the Council, Anakin is manipulated by Palpatine, who tells him that the Jedi are taking over the galaxy and he must become a Sith Lord. Anakin then reports back to the Jedi Council and conveys his request to lead a campaign to capture General Grievous at Utapau.
This confrontation represents a turning point in Anakin’s character. He had fought the Jedi Council in more ways than words, and had recently encountered the Dark Side. The Jedi thought that Chancellor Palpatine should return his powers to the Senate, but Palpatine did not want to give them back. However, the Jedi had to control the Senate, so a peaceful transition was necessary. In a sense, Anakin had a predetermined plan to take back the Jedi Council’s power, but he could not have guessed that the Sith Lord would turn against them.
Anakin’s battle with General Grievous
A major plot point of the movie is Anakin’s battle with General Grievous, the dark lord of the Sith. The movie takes place over three years, and we see the characters’ first meeting. Grievous possesses the force, and Anakin must fight him. The fight is a thrilling, emotional, and tense one, and will test both Anakin and his Jedi friends.
In the original trilogy, Grievous was first introduced in the Visionaries story “The Eyes of Revolution.” As the head of the Separatist Droid Army, Grievous was a former Kaleesh general. His wartime exploits earned him a reputation as the strongest droid commander in galaxy history. The character also has some memorable lines. Anakin is the first Jedi to face Grievous, and his battle with the General is a major highlight of the film.
The retribution of the Sith is not only a revenge plot, but also a battle between two forces. As the Republic’s priority, the hunt for Grievous proves to be a litmus test for Palpatine, who later betrays the Jedi and helps Grievous to get what he wants. The story of Grievous’s battle with Anakin explains a lot about the nature of the Jedi.
