What part of ROTS did you think was pure genius?

The parts that seemed the most genius to me would have to be: 1. Anakin and Palpatine at the ballet. Great scene. McDiarmid just tears it up here, and the moment he says "he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying" you just know that Anakin is listening and very interested. 2. Padme's ruminations. One of the best scenes I've seen in a Star Wars film. This is the moment where Anakin makes his choice that he will do ANYTHING to save Padme. 3. Mustafar...enough said. 4. Padme's dying words to Obi-wan (proving Luke DOES remember his mother, even though he doesn't realize it.) 5. Padme and Anakin's first words when they awake after Mustafar are about each other. It shows that they really did care more about each other than themselves and I love that. Ofcourse I love the entire movie but these moments were just genius.

 

My favorite 2 shots in the movie are during the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel. First, the look on Obi-Wan's face as he realizes the tower they are on is going over the lavafall is amazing. That shot really captures Obi-Wan's remorse and sadness over the whole situation. The next one is when Obi-Wan looks at Anakin before he says, "This is the end for you my master." It's the same style as before, but again I just love how you really understand Obi-Wan as much as Anakin.

 

When you see star wars...and then directed by george lucas...all the stuff in between was genious

 

Order 66 - brilliant scene with very beautiful music.
Padme's Ruminations scene- with Padme and Anakin looking out over Coruscant at each other, haunting music and no dialogue.
These were my two favourites. The opening shots from the battle over Coruscant were visually spectacular too.

 

Music and the opening scene!

 

For me, it's still the scene where Anakin becomes a Sith. It is only then he is safe from Order 66 for he is no longer a Jedi.

 

for me it would have to be the part where he convinced a lot of people that everything was a work of genius

that's an accomplishment indeed...

 

when sidious throwing the senate pods with duel of the fates

 

I completely well up inside when Obi-Wan asks Yoda, "Who could have done this", when asking about the slain children in the Halls of what I believe is the Jedi Temple...

...The reason for why I well up, is because "we" as the audience KNOWS who did it, and when you "feel" what Anakin must have been feeling when he did it, well, I just can't help feel like... ......sniff...

That is why that is a "Pure Genius" moment of the film to me. I could definitely elaborate, but I don't feel that I wish to right now...

 

any part, other than the horribly edited sidious vs. mace duel
