This was one of the best and most haunting scenes in all of Star Wars

You can physically feel the tension in this scene. It's also in this moment that you feel that the inevitable is about to happen, which the music perfectly underlines, being slow and foreshadowing. I also love how Anakin eventually literally turns away from the light to the dark as he cries and as the sun sets, which represents the end of the Jedi and the Republic and the fall of Anakin to the dark side

Would Anakin Skywalker have ever turned to the dark side without Palpatine's manipulation?

I've started wondering about this since I read the Episode 3 novelization. There, you can see the effects of Palpatine's manipulation on Anakin's psychology very clearly. However, Anakin had problems with his fear and forbidden love with Padmé anyway. So what do you think? Without Palpatine's manipulation, would his inner good have overweighed his inner evil or not?

How strong are the Royal Guards?

We saw them quite often in the movies, but I can't remember them fighting at any point

Hands down on one of the best Star Wars books ever

I bought the Episode 3 novelization by Matthew Stover about a week ago and I'm blown away by how well-written it is. I've got the feeling this book is better than the movie it's based of. Stover just did such a great job describing all characters' feelings and their development, especially Anakin's. Definetely one of my favorite books

Do humans in Star Wars also speak different languages?

As far as I remember, humans always spoke basic in all Star Wars movies and shows. But do they also speak other languages in other media or in the lore?
