Obi-Wan vs Anakin and Yoda vs Palpatine is one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever. I know there's a lot of backlash right now towards the love of RotS, because it seems to be making a comeback, but these two separate battles had me hooked. In the theater, all I could remember was thinking that this scene could be the most juiced-up and bloated action scene ever. Now, I love it.
From the dialogue between Anakin and Obi-Wan right before they duel to the incredible music as Obi-Wan walks away from Vader's toasted body, this scene is incredible. The Yoda vs Palpatine stuff is very well-done too, and, again, the score is mind blowing.
The stunts are great, the choreography is great, and the impact this scene has on the Star Wars universe is one of the biggest in the entire saga. I just can't explain it, but it's truly one of my favorite 15 minutes of movie of all time.

yup, I consider the scene in which Yoda and Palpatine (with great gusto) ferociously dual each other and thereby destroy the senate, to be the best metaphorical scene summarizing the PT (and maybe OT) perfectly. Backward religious forces afraid of losing their power destroy state and democracy. Needless to say, Williams sings as only he can.

I love how Yoda sets this badass tone by taking out the Royal Guards with basically a shrug of his shoulders. The rest is the Star Wars movie of my dreams, yeah. Amazing stuff.

I think the best scenes are the ones without dialogue. I'm not even be smarmy - the scene where Anakin and Padme "look" at each other from across the city, the march on the Jedi temple, Order 66, the simultaneous birth of Vader and the twins, the last four scenes bridging the gap to the OT - great stuff.

The "looking" scene is great. The "birth" of Darth Vader intercut with the birth of Luke and Leia is also an essentially wordless scene. The placing of the mask over Vader's head and the slight Imperial March melody makes for a great moment. |

NOVEMBER 29, 2012 5:23pm PT by Aaron Couch Art Critic Calls 'Star Wars: Episode III' Greatest Work of Our Time
“The long finale of 'Revenge of the Sith' has more inherent artistic value, emotional power and global impact than anything by the artists you name,” says Camille Paglia.Although many fans consider 2005's Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith the best installment of the divisive Star Wars prequel trilogy, does it really rank among an Egyptian tomb or the great American novel as a work of art? Noted art critic Camille Paglia makes that claim in her book Glittering Images, calling George Lucas’ final Star Wars film the greatest work of art of the past 30 years. She spoke about her assertion in an interview with Vice. “The long finale of Revenge of the Sith has more inherent artistic value, emotional power and global impact than anything by the artists you name," she said. "It's because the art world has flat-lined and become an echo chamber of received opinion and toxic over-praise. It's like the emperor's new clothes -- people are too intimidated to admit what they secretly think or what they might think with their blinders off.” Paglia has been known to court controversy for saying things such as she doesn't like lesbians ( Paglia is gay ) and advocating for the legalization of drugs and prostitution. Her book traces the key moments in Western art from the Egyptians to modern times. She said when choosing something to represent the digital art section, she considered using Japanese anime but concluded that “it lacked the overwhelming operatic power and, yes, seriousness of Lucas' Revenge of the Sith.” |

That and the scene when Palpatine is giving his speech on turning the Republic into a Galactic Empire juxtaposed with Anakin slaughtering the trade federation.

If given the chance GL will direct the greatest silent verbal color movie with a soundtrack of all time.
I'd love to see a GL SW movie with no dialogue.

His dialogue may be stilted (it's a space opera), but it's very quotable and iconic. There is a reason no other franchise fandom communicates so much via quotes as SW fans do. |

Absolutely. Probably my favorite duel/battle out of all the films.
