3. Chancellor Palpatine Reveals Himself to be The Dark Lord of the Sith
Film: Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUFptjizGXE Bone chilling in so many ways, this scene between Anakin and Palpatine, between learner and mentor, brings the story of the Republics descent full circle. Palpatine manipulated Anakin so greatly over the years that Skywalker is now conflicted in how to handle the Chancellor. And that plays even more into Palpatines grand scheme and his ultimate endgame for Skywalker. Actor Ian McDiarmid is absolutely brilliant in this scene as Palpatine, as he sets the birth of the Empire into full motion. 2. The Jedi Order Arrives on Geonosis
Film: Episode 2 Attack of the Clones http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BY2FpPGrC-w#t=328s In a scene most of us did not expect and never thought we would see on film, the Jedi Order arrives in full force to Geonosis to rescue s Padme Amidala from Naboo, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. There is nothing quite as enthralling as dozens of Jedi igniting their lightsabers to initiate the rescue of their friends, but also fatefully starting a war from which they would never fully recover.
