** After Dooku is killed, Palpatine uncharacteristically tells Anakin to leave the wounded and unconscious Obi-Wan behind. The reason why becomes clear after Palpatine unveils himself and Anakin's fall. With Dooku's defeat and murder, Anakin's proven he's finally ready for Sith conversion. The next step is knocking out the support structure anchoring him to the Light Side – anchors like Obi-Wan. Palpatine's ''not'' going to pass up a golden opportunity like this to remove Obi-Wan from the equation. While Anakin ruins his attempt, Palpatine simply adjusts tactics to try again later.

* RankUp: Anakin Skywalker rises through the Jedi ranks, being a Knight as of this movie, but resents the fact that the Council gives him a seat (at Palpatine's insistence), but doesn't grant him the rank of Master. In contrast, Obi-Wan is noticeably sitting on the Council with his promotion never commented upon (he was already promoted from Padawan to Jedi Knight after defeating Darth Maul in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', which was presumably a FieldPromotion).

* SanityHasAdvantages: The movie sees Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in a duel to the death. Obi-Wan is a MasterSwordsman, but even then Anakin is TheChosenOne who has {{fallen|hero}} to TheDarkSide -- Obi-Wan only wins the resultant fight because Anakin, as part of his fall, is tapping more and more into [[EmotionalPowers his anger for power]] -- but AngerIsNotEnough when fighting someone like Obi-Wan, and as Anakin digs deeper into his anger to the point of {{Ax craz|y}}iness, he becomes reckless -- exposing openings that Obi-Wan exploits to end the battle by way of LiteralDisarming.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Mace Windu confronts Chancellor Palpatine in his office in order to arrest him for being a Sith Lord and tells him that the Senate will decide his fate, to which Palpatine replies, "I ''AM'' THE SENATE.", in a low and intimidating voice. Palpatine, now revealed as Darth Sidious, kills three of the Jedi's best swordsmen (under Yoda, Anakin, Windu, and Obi-Wan of course, but still celebrated swordsmen) in mere seconds and is climactically "defeated" by Windu in time for Anakin to arrive and "save" him. [[FaceHeelTurn Darth Vader]] is born and Palpatine's plan to kill the Jedi is validated by the Senate under the pretense that the Jedi tried to assassinate him. Because the Senate granted him emergency powers, his boast is one he is quite within his legal rights to carry out. The Republic had already become a PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny before he renamed it to TheEmpire.
* ShiftingSituationDuel: The culminating duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi starts in a temple on a volcanic planet. Said temple begins to [[CollapsingLair collapse throughout the fight]], as the two are forced to transverse through the crumbling building. The two of them then swing their sabers at each other while climbing a tower, before landing on levitating platforms where the fight continues. The battle ends after Obi-wan uses some approaching high ground to his advantage.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Anakin orders R2 to stay with the ship as he makes his way to slaughter the Separatist leaders, later [=C-3PO=] remains in Padmé's ship and doesn't ''even come out'' when Anakin mortally injures her and during Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel; he only has an off-screen moment for carrying the dying Padmé back to the ship, and utters just one more funny comment just before the movie ends.

Before Obi-wan leaves for Utapau, he and Anakin have a talk, with Anakin apologizing for all the trouble he's caused him and Obi-wan replying that he's proud of Anakin (the first and last SoProudOfYou we ever hear from him). That final smile they share is the last happy moment either of them will know before Anakin becomes Darth Vader.
* SoProudOfYou: The last time Obi-Wan and Anakin see each other before their ill-fated duel in Mustafar, the former tells the latter about how proud he is of him. In hindsight, the irony is unfortunate for both of them.

Any doubt as to what the scene was trying to evoke was removed when you saw the ''gun crews'' loading and firing their giant blaster cannon through force-field gun ports. There's no excuse for the gun crews and gun ports, but the side-by-side combat is excusable: the battle takes place in the orbit of the Republic's capital planet. The attackers are not there for conquest but a raid and kidnapping; for that they have to get close to the planet to land ground troops safely.

* YouAreTooLate: Yoda ''loses''. The Old Republic is in ruins, the Jedi have been slaughtered, Palpatine is triumphant. The only glimmer of hope for the galaxy lies in Padmé's two children, who will go on to become the protagonists of the Original Trilogy.

* GoForTheEye: R2-D2 spars against a buzz droid with his electric prod. A few zaps don't kill it, but Obi-Wan recommends R2 aim for the droid's "eye" and thus it's instantly fried.
* GoldenMeanFallacy: Invoked in the opening crawl by telling the viewer that "there are heroes on both sides" in the Clone Wars. Actually, the statement is both true and false. Although a great many of the combatants -- both Republicans and Separatists -- certainly have idealistic reasons for fighting, the entire war is a sham, being secretly manipulated by Sith agents who are RunningBothSides. The movie depicts both the Jedi and the Sith as power-hungry and ruthless, but the Sith are clearly worse in that their ruthlessness derives not from self-righteousness but from pure greed (and their only saving grace is that [[AtLeastIAdmitIt they eventually come clean about their ultimate goal]]).
* GravityScrew: At the beginning of the film, gravity remains oriented toward Coruscant's surface as General Grievous's flagship alternately falls nose-first toward the planet, and is brought under control again, resulting in some fun running-on-walls scenes.
* GravitySucks: The Separatist flagship gets shot once too often and promptly plunges straight down. The massive deceleration that would have been needed to allow this would probably have flattened everyone on board the ship. That ''would'' be an issue.

However, it does crop up in this movie, which features a conference call in the Jedi Council chambers with holograms of several Jedi Masters who are remote-calling from the front lines.

After a moment of hesitation on Anakin's part, Palpatine commands him to do it -- slipping into his Darth Sidious voice in the process -- Anakin beheads Dooku. This act serves the double purpose of removing a no longer useful pawn and bringing Anakin ever closer to the Sith way of thinking.

Palpatine, who had been hinting that he had the power to save Padmé from dying, asks if Anakin is going to kill him. Anakin replies that he'd ''like'' to -- but he puts his lightsaber away, partly because cold-blooded murder isn't the Jedi way but mostly because he still hoped to save Padmé's life. The whole scene is also a CallForward to ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' when Palpatine tells Luke "StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred", which indicates that Palpatine is fond of such gambits.

This, of course, turns out to be a lie, since Palpatine is secretly Dooku's master and, hence, in no danger at any point... however, the time pressure itself is real in that scene, as Dooku's execution by Anakin is part of Palpatine's plan to seduce the latter to TheDarkSide, and he must get him to do it before Anakin's own master, Obi-Wan (whom Dooku knocked out earlier), regains consciousness, as he would remind Anakin that Jedi do not kill their prisoners.

* MovingTheGoalposts: Palpatine does this to Anakin, stringing him along with promises of teaching him Plagueis' ability to save people from death. When he's being threatened by Mace Windu, he claims to have the power himself, but after Anakin saves him he immediately backtracks and states that only Plagueis ever knew it but they can discover the secret together if Anakin keeps doing his bidding. Ultimately he drops the pretense after Padmé's death, and it's left ambiguous whether he actually knew the ability - and, at least in the films, whether or not it ever existed at all. Anakin, for his part, did realize Palpatine was manipulating him, but went along with it out of inertia and desperation.

The fact that Padmé is forced to give birth at a clinic on a remote mining colony due to Anakin's own actions (rather than in a properly facilitated hospital on Coruscant or Naboo) did her no favors, either.
* PsychicStrangle: Shortly before the climax of the movie, when Anakin erroneously thinks Padmé is now siding with Obi-Wan, he applies Force Chocking onto her, which results in her eventual death (luckily, their newborn twin children survive).

* ConspicuousConsumption: Chancellor Palpatine's office on Coruscant. It's huge and empty and on a city planet like Coruscant, it would have been mind-numbingly expensive to rent or buy that real estate. It is a subtle display of his wealth and power that he can have a huge office and not need to fill it with anything.

** In the previous film, Count Dooku was the strongest opponent Obi-Wan and Anakin faced, and theslaying latter two were almost killed by him. Meanwhile, in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' (which was originally conceived as an interquel between ''Attack of the Jedi.Clones'' and ''Revenge of the Sith''), General Grievous proved to be a lethal combatant who killed all the Jedi who challenged him minus one, and also succeeded at kidnapping Palpatine. And indeed, in their respective debuts Dooku and Grievous get away undefeated. However, they're killed off unceremoniously in ''Revenge of the Sith'' itself, with Dooku being defeated during the starter arc involving the rescue of Palpatine, and Grievous being impaled by Obi-Wan after trying to flee from him.

When you have two people trained from a ''very'' young age to live a life of nothing but duty, and essentially forbid them normal, healthy relationships, there's no way it can end in anything but this trope. It's especially bad for Anakin because this prohibition is one of the seeds that would lead him to TheDarkSide when he becomes obsessed with protecting her at any cost. After Anakin turns to the Dark Side in this film, the relationship becomes blatantly abusive – he twists the truth or just straight-up lies to Padmé to cover up his crimes, starts treating her more like a possession than his wife and lashes out at her with the Force, ultimately causing her death. Anakin is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified]] at this once he comes to his senses, but by then it's too late.

** Utapau is a textbook example by Palpatine. Both Obi-Wan and Grievous need to die at some point, so throw them at each other and you're halfway there with the clones on-site to finish the other. Also, as the novelization points out, the ''real'' point of Utapau was so that however it ended, Obi-Wan won't be around to keep Anakin from falling to the dark side.
** The novelization also makes this clear about the war itself. By even engaging in it, the Jedi lose, but they can't not engage and thereby allow the devastation of the war to run unchecked. The ultimate "Jedi Trap."

** When Vader awakens and frees himself from the surgical table, his wrists are still bound by the shackles that held him to the table; Anakin's transformation into Vader is tantamount to enslavement by Palpatine.
