How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Quote #1
Opening scroll: War! The Republic is crumbing under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.
"Evil is everywhere" pretty much lays it all out there, right? This helps to set up the whole premise that our heroes will be battling against the forces of evil in every direction … even from within.
Quote #2
PALPATINE: Get help! You're no match for him. He's a Sith Lord.
OBI-WAN: Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty.
We thought this was an interesting thing to say to his rescuer. Palpatine must not have a whole lot of faith in the Jedi … or could it be that he believes that the dark side is stronger than they could ever be?
Quote #3
ANAKIN: I shouldn't have done that, Chancellor. It's not the Jedi way.
PALPATINE: It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge. It wasn't the first time, Anakin. Remember what you told me about your mother and the Sand People.
So, according to Palpatine, succumbing to your darker urges is only natural. (Therefore, the dark side is natural?) Or, perhaps it's only natural for Anakin, as he has let it hold sway over him before.
