The DVD commentary on Revenge of the Sith. He doesn't outright say what he's talking about but when you consider why Anakin turns to the dark side and the scene he's talking about I think it's pretty clear the "trigger" he's referring to. The reason I thought it could be a tricky question is because I thought some might look at it and think it's Anakin's desire to save Padme from death. That would be a wrong answer because while it's the reason why he turns the trigger is his realization that he might actually achieve this power. I hope that clears it up.

The 2004 (?) Revenge of the Sith commentary, Rick McCallum.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Darth Chiznuk (I couldn't even see your response although I wrote mine eons after the fact).

So we had to guess what your opinion was?

It's not really an opinion. It's a fact that Anakin turns to save his wife and so the story is what triggers his descent.

It's completely an opinion. By your own admission, he doesn't outright say.

The contestants don't normally argue with Alex on JEOPARDY. Chiznuk, arguing with the judges usually results in disqualification in my 6th Grade classroom. Also, arguing balls and strikes can bounce MLB players out of a game. Dude, you're not being very gracious nor do you seem a good sport. Good Luck.

Please don't. I'm going to leave it to Bazinga'd to make the final decision. If he agrees with you I will give you and Immortiss a new question.

Well Bazinga'd, as far as I'm aware, never gave his judgment on the number of lightsabers thing, so maybe it's best just to let this go as I did then

Sorry for the delay in responding guys, I did not get the alert that I was tagged. halibut Darth Chiznuk Seagoat I try to stay out of disputes regarding the substance of questions or the correctness of the answers. Those issues I normally leave to the Game Host to resolve. However, I tend to agree with halibut on this one that the answer to the question is somewhat subjective and open to interpretation. Having said that, Darth Chiznuk is the game host, and I am going to defer to him on how to best resolve this.

Seagoat- What "lightsabers thing"? If there are issues I need to address please PM directly and dont rely on tagging me, since apparently I am having a problem receiving alerts.

I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. My opponents response to what seems to have been a legitimate question has taken the fun out of it. And if it's not fun, then there's no point. I enjoyed it while it lasted

I suppose it all depends on your perspective. A 'legitimate question' is one thing, but haggling is quite another. You asked the question and received a response. Good manners accepts it. But to haggle, not once, but twice...come on, man. That's no fun. Besides I think the quote's pretty clear. The implication is quite clear concerning 'this crucial element that is the hook' dragging Anakin down.

Rick McCallum<br /> [SIZE=4 said:

"It's such a creepy little scene [at the opera]. It's just so bold and
so audacious with all of this really essential information in terms of the origin of Anakin and Palpatine's overriding and unbelievable confession of not only how he came to power but also of THIS CRUCIAL ELEMENT that is the hook that finally drags Anakin down." [/SIZE]
