That’s true but that was against the Jedi ways It was forbidden to kill an enemy who was unarmed and beaten, also the fact where it was his best friend for 13 years is one of the reasons he didn’t do it
Every lightsaber strike is a blow to the decades long friendship these two had. This whole song is just the screams of the death of an almost brotherly bond.
2003 was a REALLY good year for cinematography, revenge of the sith, lord of the rings: return of the king, Pirates of the Caribbean, Terminator 3: rise of the machines, Master and Commander, the matrix 3, fast and furious 2 and other really good titles came out that year Edit: Sorry, revenge of the sith came out in 2005, my mistake lol I really don't know in that case
The prequels had a rocky start, a messy middle, and heartbreaking ending, all enhanced beautifully by John Williams’ music. No matter what anyone says, I will always love these movies and the score that came with them 👏👏
I think there are two main reason some people disliked episode 2: - if you only watch 2 without immediately watching 3 feels like a movie that goes nowhere. In fact, every part of 2 sets up something in 3. If you watch Episode 2 and 3 as a single movie, no part of it is messy. - people don't like the deliberately immature sounding voice Hayden uses to play Anakin. This is only a problem with the original English version, many fan around the world initially saw a dubbed version in which Anakin sounds fine. I first saw the Italian version Episode 2 in which Anakin sounds fine and nobody thought there was anything wrong with "I don't like sand". I would like to say to all prequel haters, just watch 2 and 3 together as if they were a single movie, and watch them in a foreign dub with subtitles, maybe the Japanese one, pretend it's an anime. You'll find out that those movies are way better than you remember.

1:57 - 2:12 I cannot even begin describe how this part of the piece makes me feel. What is normally the theme of hope has been filled with such sorrow and dread, perfectly encapsulating Anakin's turn to the dark side. Absolutely sensational, this is John Williams' best piece of work across his whole career in my personal opinion. Chills... Every time.
"The force theme" was actually originally intended to be Obi-wan's theme. I think it may still be the point of its use here, as our first encounter with ol' Ben kenobi in ANH uses the same theme. The prequels hit in such a good way
The force theme isn’t necessarily a theme of hope, within the force will always lie the dark side. Plus, the force theme is mostly played in action scenes
Anakin: You turned her against me! Obi-Wan: You have done that yourself. Anakin: You will not take her from me! Obi-Wan: Your anger and lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now... until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Anakin: Don’t lecture me Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new empire. Obi-Wan: Your new empire? Anakin: Don’t make me kill you. Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic... to democracy! Anakin: If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy. Obi-Wan: Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I will do as I must. Anakin: You will try. Epic sword fight Obi-Wan: I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you. Anakin: I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over. Obi-Wan: Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil! Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil! Obi-Wan: Well then you are lost! Anakin: This is the end for you my master. Obi-Wan: It’s over Anakin! I have the high ground! Anakin: You underestimate my power! Obi-Wan: Don’t try it! Obi-Wan slices Anakin Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness! Anakin: I HATE YOU!!!! Obi-Wan: You were my brother Anakin. I loved you. Anakin burns and screams in agony
Say what you want about The prequals, but this entire scene was so packed with emotion it made men cry. The ultimate battle between two brothers, two warriors who were eachothers only family, a tale of two who chose different paths. Everything they had built up destroyed during this duel. The trust, the bond they had. All gone. The emotion, the sadness, the guilt, the betrayal. Everything leading up to this moment. God damn this is by far the most memorable moment in any star wars movie, and as a hardcore star wars fan, is my favorite scene to date.
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor....
Hans Zimmer is more for me because i was first introduced to his music through Crysis 2 and MW2. Sure, Battle of the Heroes is a good song, and John Williams is by no means a bad composer or musician. Yes, John Williams did amazing work with his Music on Star Wars and its subsequent movies and games such as Republic Commando (We need a sequel to that game btw) and the Jedi Knight series, but i feel like his music is overused in Star Wars, with the exception of a few songs such as Vode An (which was composed by someone else but still.. it feels as if John Williams made it). That's not to say it's not good, in fact they're masterpieces. However i believe Hans Zimmer is more of my type of composer. Just take one good listen to some examples such as "Chain of Command" from Modern Warfare 2 which is a more hyped up version of the Main theme of MW2, and the Epilogue song from Crysis 2. Those speak to me, at the very least. TLDR: I Prefer Hans Zimmer more and that is just my opinion.
The pain, the anger, the regret This one song sums up Anakin Skywalker’s life perfectly. The pain, being a slave on tatooine. The anger, trying to bring peace but cannot. The guilt, choking his wife and betraying everything he knew. This one song, it’s amazing, and it shows why revenge of the Sith is amazing.

Now imagine its 15 or so years later and he is practically your brother. Now imagine you have to kill him. The sheer level of emotional and physical trauma nearly kills *you* . You have just imagined the entire life of Obi Wan in the prequels.

0:33 wow. That is probably the single most incredible break I will ever hear in a build up. There’s just so much sadness, finality and scale brought to this battle by it. We as the viewers understand fully what is about to unfold with this fight. The fate of everything.
@Steven Turner already knew that fact because I'm not so uncivilized but keep spreading knowledge and may the force not be with you because it isn't real it's just rebel propaganda to turn you against the empire
I'll never forget in 2005 at the age of 13 watching the final duel and the bridging platform is going over the lavafalls with Anakin still on it and I'm thinking to myself "Is this it?" Is this what disfigured him and puts in into the Vader suit then 1:22 kicks in as he's running up the bridge as its going over and I'm like "Nope, he ain't done yet" 😱🤯 ... What a scene, best duel in all of Star Wars 🙌

To my musicians out there, this song is in 3/2 which gives everything a snappy, syncopated feel To my normies out there, this song is a middle finger to musicians everywhere
Lucas always said that he made his Star Wars films almost like silent films, where the music would tell you what was going on. The best casting decision ever made in Film History was Lucas casting Williams for the scoring 🤣
BLASTING this after JAMES’s Earl Jones passing 😞 farewell to a great actor and Darth Vader, but tons of other things too, mufasa etc…RIP to the legendary James Earl Jones … 1931-1924 😔 🪦
Original trilogy : i created the most iconic heroes and villains, set up the basis of an immortal space opera that changed the world forever. Prequel trilogy : i put the lightsaber duels to a whole new level, added some big music to the star wars panorama and explained the origin of Darth Vader, while continuing to enhance world building. *Sequel trilogy has left the chat*
Sequel trilogy: I made you hate your beloved characters before killing them off in underwhelming ways and giving you new characters with less substance than green milk
@@mr_crickert0236 IMO it carried the whole saga, Ep 3 connects pretty much all 6 episodes together (repeat after me, sequels trilogy are trash and should not be considered real) why? because ep 3, tells us the rise of the empire, fall of the jedi, the clone wars and its end, anakin's turn to the dark side, birth of luke and leia and how they were separated not knowing they're twins, it even shows us that the death star was built in secret starting from when there was still a republic.
I actually liked the prequels. Edit: in hindsight, I don’t exactly know why I made this comment. At the time I made it, the hatred for the prequels had long since died down.

I remember as a kid growing up in the early 90's, I had this Star Wars book that went over all the technical equipment of the Empire: Star Destroyer Bridge Layout, Tie Fighters, Turbo Lasers and a bunch of other Imperial Tech. One of the entries was about Vader's Chest Plate and I'll never forget those words on the the page about it: Vader, as Anakin Skywalker, lost a duel against Obi-Wan and was left for dead. When the prequel trilogy movies were coming, I knew we were FINALLY gonna see that infamous duel between Anakin and Obi-wan. The wait was worth it.
1:47 is the most powerful feeling any of these films have ever given me. After usually hearing the Force Theme for important *good* moments in a Skywalker's life, the dramatic use of it here charges an already amazing scene.
It's almost like an expression of a perversion of the force. It's a mix of beautiful and weird, like the dark side itself, a beautiful painting corroded by it's own acidity and toxicity
Obi-Wan: I have failed you, Anakin...I have failed you. Anakin: I should've KNOWN the Jedi were plotting to take over. Obi-Wan: Anakin! Chancellor Palatine is evil! Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil! Obi-Wan: THEN YOU ARE LOST!
People who have been into Star Wars for a long time and has read EU stuff know that this really is one of the most tragic scenes in cinema. Obi-Wan, the perfect jedi has failed his task given to him by Qui-Gon to raise the chosen one to fulfill the prophecy. He was the man chosen by the force itself to raise and mentor the one to bring balance to the force. He did it without question, and unconditionally loved Anakin with all his heart. He trained him into one of the finest Jedi the order had even seen, but it wasn't enough. Anakin, the boy conceived by the force itself to combat the growing influence of the Dark Side. He starts his life as a slave, working for his master Watto. While Watto wasn't awful to him, the scars of slavery stayed with him for life. Despite being taken in by the Jedi and having Obi-Wan as his master and brother, he was still that little boy with a slave chip living on Tattoine. No matter what he did and no matter how hard he trained, he was always a slave to his emotions. He was afraid. Afraid of losing those he loved, like he did his mother. And it destroyed him. You can feel both Anakins raging anger and Obi-Wans immense sadness. You can feel their fully steeled resolve to do what they think is right, despite the love they hold for each other. Anakin is fighting for what he thinks is right to save padme, and Obi-Wan is fighting for his faith in the Jedi and duty to Republic. There is no hesitation between them, each connection of their lightsabers is an attempt to kill. As Obi-Wan looks down at Anakin as he begins to catch fire, the sorrow is gut wrenching. Anakin has failed to save Padme, and Obi-Wan has failed his promise to his master. And they both lost a brother. The Republic has fallen, and the Jedi are dead and scattered. While listening to this piece I can close my eyes and I still see this scene as vivid as the day I first saw it and it makes me want to bawl my eyes out. John Williams is truly one of the best in history.
*Anakin brought "balance" by becoming the Sith Lord's apprentice and eventually killing him years later and then immediately dying.... all in episode 6.* The Force had it planned out different than what human's expected.
@@marksmangalactic9050 He's adding because he's right. Anakin fulfilled the prophesy just not in the way the Jedi thought. Because by killing Palpatine and himself later dying, that left Luke and bringing balance to The Force as George has always said balance was the absence of the dark side. Fitting that a man who had walked in both the light and the dark would ultimately bring about balance. The order fell because they lost their way and instead of following the will of The Force they followed the will of the senate. A mistake Luke in the EU corrected.
The Star Wars prequels are the story of a man who lost everything, because he wanted his wife to be safe. John Williams did his best to make this incredible soundtrack. What would be Star Wars without its great music? I think that this episode, especially, has a very important music. John Williams has the power to make you feel the emotions, the story itself, across his music.
*Obi-Wan:* It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force... not leave it in darkness! *Anakin:* I was offered the Imperial March music! *Obi-Wan:* You already had the Battle of the Heroes music, Anakin. *Anakin:* Really? *Obi-Wan:* Yeah! It's even your theme in Star Wars Battlefront II. *Anakin:* I'm joining you again.
1:57 Obi-wan: "I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you." Anakin: "I should of known the Jedi were plotting to take over." Obi-wan: "Anakin, Chancellor Palatine is evil!" Anakin: "In my point of view the Jedi are evil!" Obi-wan: "Then you are lost!"
This piece reminds me of a time when creators truly cared about the film they were making, and respected the source material. Rather than just to get a cheap laugh or explosion. This was a time when filmmakers tried to get you emotional. Like the sequels or not, George Lucas truly cared about the characters and story he and his peers created.
Bro, cheap laughs or explosions have existed long before today. Independence Day comes to mind. The Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser made a horror classic into a pulp action adventure trilogy in the Indiana Jones mold. Ever since New Hollywood died out, that tongue in cheek attitude has always been there. Nostalgia just makes you forget that it existed in your childhood.
@@sambridgers9543 I'm not saying it didn't exist. It's just frankly more prevalent and common than it was then. Rarely do we see films that we'll remember for years to come like we did back then. Think about it.
@@grantwatson8343 well, we have a few masterpieces in modern times which don't have all the cheap laughs etc. - e.g. Blade Runner 2049 , interstellar, inception, the dark knight trilogy, Dune 2021, and many others in both east and west. And of course, there are all the non-mainstream films being made.
Almost 20 years later and this song still gives me full body goose bumps and can bring me to the edge of tears. Glad to have been able to witness a modern Mozart/baach/Beethoven in my lifetime.

Say what you want about The prequals, but this entire scene was so packed with emotion it made men cry. The ultimate battle between two brothers, two warriors who were eachothers only family, a tale of two who chose different paths. Everything they had built up destroyed during this duel.
The trust, the bond they had. All gone. The emotion, the sadness, the guilt, the betrayal. Everything leading up to this moment.

STAR
WARS
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.
In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor....

shma man Omg 😂😂😂that was funny....but I'm a german and I must say John williams is better😅
Both are awesome!
Mackowy1601 but John Williams is definitely the master... 😁
It's the reverse 🤣
Hans Zimmer is more for me because i was first introduced to his music through Crysis 2 and MW2. Sure, Battle of the Heroes is a good song, and John Williams is by no means a bad composer or musician. Yes, John Williams did amazing work with his Music on Star Wars and its subsequent movies and games such as Republic Commando (We need a sequel to that game btw) and the Jedi Knight series, but i feel like his music is overused in Star Wars, with the exception of a few songs such as Vode An (which was composed by someone else but still.. it feels as if John Williams made it). That's not to say it's not good, in fact they're masterpieces. However i believe Hans Zimmer is more of my type of composer. Just take one good listen to some examples such as "Chain of Command" from Modern Warfare 2 which is a more hyped up version of the Main theme of MW2, and the Epilogue song from Crysis 2. Those speak to me, at the very least.
TLDR: I Prefer Hans Zimmer more and that is just my opinion.
RIP James Earl Jones
Yep 😢
The pain, the anger, the regret
This one song sums up Anakin Skywalker’s life perfectly.
The pain, being a slave on tatooine.
The anger, trying to bring peace but cannot.
The guilt, choking his wife and betraying everything he knew.
This one song, it’s amazing, and it shows why revenge of the Sith is amazing.

People who have been into Star Wars for a long time and has read EU stuff know that this really is one of the most tragic scenes in cinema.
Obi-Wan, the perfect jedi has failed his task given to him by Qui-Gon to raise the chosen one to fulfill the prophecy. He was the man chosen by the force itself to raise and mentor the one to bring balance to the force. He did it without question, and unconditionally loved Anakin with all his heart. He trained him into one of the finest Jedi the order had even seen, but it wasn't enough.
Anakin, the boy conceived by the force itself to combat the growing influence of the Dark Side. He starts his life as a slave, working for his master Watto. While Watto wasn't awful to him, the scars of slavery stayed with him for life. Despite being taken in by the Jedi and having Obi-Wan as his master and brother, he was still that little boy with a slave chip living on Tattoine. No matter what he did and no matter how hard he trained, he was always a slave to his emotions. He was afraid. Afraid of losing those he loved, like he did his mother. And it destroyed him.
You can feel both Anakins raging anger and Obi-Wans immense sadness. You can feel their fully steeled resolve to do what they think is right, despite the love they hold for each other.
Anakin is fighting for what he thinks is right to save padme, and Obi-Wan is fighting for his faith in the Jedi and duty to Republic. There is no hesitation between them, each connection of their lightsabers is an attempt to kill.
As Obi-Wan looks down at Anakin as he begins to catch fire, the sorrow is gut wrenching. Anakin has failed to save Padme, and Obi-Wan has failed his promise to his master. And they both lost a brother. The Republic has fallen, and the Jedi are dead and scattered.
While listening to this piece I can close my eyes and I still see this scene as vivid as the day I first saw it and it makes me want to bawl my eyes out.
John Williams is truly one of the best in history.
*Anakin brought "balance" by becoming the Sith Lord's apprentice and eventually killing him years later and then immediately dying.... all in episode 6.* The Force had it planned out different than what human's expected.
@@bakura227 I can't tell if you're just adding to what I said, or if you're critiquing it.
@@marksmangalactic9050 He's adding because he's right. Anakin fulfilled the prophesy just not in the way the Jedi thought. Because by killing Palpatine and himself later dying, that left Luke and bringing balance to The Force as George has always said balance was the absence of the dark side. Fitting that a man who had walked in both the light and the dark would ultimately bring about balance.
The order fell because they lost their way and instead of following the will of The Force they followed the will of the senate. A mistake Luke in the EU corrected.
The Chosen One rubbish was always one of Lucas's sillier ideas - that and a virgin birth!! !

The Star Wars prequels are the story of a man who lost everything, because he wanted his wife to be safe. John Williams did his best to make this incredible soundtrack. What would be Star Wars without its great music? I think that this episode, especially, has a very important music. John Williams has the power to make you feel the emotions, the story itself, across his music.
*Obi-Wan:* It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force... not leave it in darkness!
*Anakin:* I was offered the Imperial March music!
*Obi-Wan:* You already had the Battle of the Heroes music, Anakin.
*Anakin:* Really?
*Obi-Wan:* Yeah! It's even your theme in Star Wars Battlefront II.
*Anakin:* I'm joining you again.
If only Anakin joined the light side again his burning made me sad
"But I only got it by turning to the Dark Side and fighting you!"
A reminder that Revenge of the Sith is one of the few movies in a trilogy to break the rule of audience decay.

This piece reminds me of a time when creators truly cared about the film they were making, and respected the source material. Rather than just to get a cheap laugh or explosion. This was a time when filmmakers tried to get you emotional.
Like the sequels or not, George Lucas truly cared about the characters and story he and his peers created.

The Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser made a horror classic into a pulp action adventure trilogy in the Indiana Jones mold. Ever since New Hollywood died out, that tongue in cheek attitude has always been there. Nostalgia just makes you forget that it existed in your childhood.
@@sambridgers9543 I'm not saying it didn't exist. It's just frankly more prevalent and common than it was then. Rarely do we see films that we'll remember for years to come like we did back then. Think about it.
Let's not dwell on the past. Let's just focus on what we like here.
@@grantwatson8343 well, we have a few masterpieces in modern times which don't have all the cheap laughs etc. - e.g. Blade Runner 2049 , interstellar, inception, the dark knight trilogy, Dune 2021, and many others in both east and west. And of course, there are all the non-mainstream films being made.

This soundtrack should be called "Kenobi: CEO of highground"
Hi can you train me
Heh, you would know...
oh, i thought you were killed by darth vader, you seem to have survived
2:47
You’re one to talk...
Longest lightsaber duel ever. And the best one. I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND ANAKIN!!!
Revenge of the Sith is better than all 3 of Disneys sequels
That feeling when prequels are hundreds of times better than sequels.
@@StarKhan that feeling when 1 song is better than the entire sequel trilogy
That feeling when you realize you always liked the prequels just as much as the OT and that Star Wars are George Lucas's movies.
That feeling when you feel like your the only one who loved the sequals as well as all 6 other movies
Obi wan vs Anakin is better than the sequels alone
This and the duel of fates are excellent 💯
Connor Mulligan I love this one and Binary Sunset
The Final Duel from Return Of The Jedi is pretty good too.

every time the chorus comes in at 0:32 i get chills
Me too
Almost 20 years later and this song still gives me full body goose bumps and can bring me to the edge of tears. Glad to have been able to witness a modern Mozart/baach/Beethoven in my lifetime.
20 years 😭
John Williams - "So how epic do you want this?"
George Lucas - "All of it!"
John Williams - "Say no more."
Facts
And he did it Twice (8n 1999 and 2005)
@@aquilesgarciaperez5918 ......yeah,if you discount OT.
im gonna go rewatch this movie
haha clintondix after u rewatch it immediately watch return of the jedi
Skyrim NPC WARS Yeah, it's so sad how it went all down in Revenge of the Sith so you gotta make yourself feel better with the ROTJ
Same
Even though I seen it 20 times its the saddest moat greatest most emotional movie ever
Internet Wanderer yup that’s why the new trilogy is fucked
1:57 - 2:13 hits to me. Goosebumps all of the time.
"I have failed you, Anakin... I have failed you."
“I should’ve known the Jedi were plotting to take over”
Anakin! Chancellor Palpatine is Evil!
“From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.”
@@chrisscorbie1342 Well then you are lost.
Most epic and tragic battle between Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. 2 friends who were like brother became archenemies.
2:17 this is the saddest Theme/Scene in Star Wars for me as Obi Wan looks into Anakins poor evil eyes.. the little boy he trained and raised
Vasqu3z it hurt me.
This is the end for you my master
2:53 *"It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!"*
I like a username
Duck Anakin !!!
You underestimate my power!
@@dubstrap6095 Don't try it!

I remember when I had a lightsaber duel at the public park. People was watching us we were blasting this song, I felt like a real force user
And this is Katara, my flying sister.
Absolute Legend 💯👍
This is the nerdiest thing I've ever heard of
You made me feel second hand embarassement with that comment.
@@chris30555 Why?
This is the moment John Williams takes the high ground
Even if you hate the prequels you have to admit, it had the best music out of all Star Wars!
Mikey prequels were my favorite of all time. And exactly! The music is the best. Disney ruined everything.
