10 Scariest Star Wars Moments
1. Anakin's Downfall - Revenge Of The Sith
Everything about Anakin Skywalker's final descent to the Dark Side is pretty horrific. First, there's him killing Count Dooku in cold blood; then he helps Palpatine defeat Windu and rise to power; then he massacres all the younglings at the Jedi Temple; and then he Force chokes his own wife, the very person he turned to the Dark Side to "save."
His final moments in Revenge of the Sith are spent battling Obi-Wan, an epic duel which ends with Anakin losing both his legs and an arm to his old master and best friend.
As Obi-Wan vents his frustrations and heartbreak, Anakin begins to burn in the lava of Mustafar, his body consumed by flame as his eyes shine yellow and his transition to the Dark Side of the Force is finally complete.
It's a seriously dark end to the otherwise family-friendly prequel trilogy, and seeing him burn and scream will forever be one of the franchise's most horrific and shocking moments.
