      @Jan Actually, Sidious didn't create a false sense of fear in his heart, rather, his voice, face, and body language gave off the impression of a scared old man and, since Mace Windu was looking for Sidious' Shatterpoint, not Anakin's, he associates the fear he senses with Sidious because of the voice, face, and body language. The fear is actually Anakin's, which is why Sidious says this: "Fool!" His voice was a shout of thunder. "Do you think the fear you feel is
      mine?"

      The way I see it, everything up to and including Anakin showing Padme his scar is canon, then from there you would watch 2008 Clone Wars.
      Clone Wars showed Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight. It had the first acknowledgment of Anakin's scar. It showed how Anakin got R2-D2. It showed how C3PO went from silver to gold. It showed the introduction of Grievous. It showed the introduction of Asajj Ventress.
      The show fills in so many holes that 2008 Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith just don't cover that I think the first 21 and a bit episodes just have to be considered canon.

Watching them duke it out on the Second Death Star’s wreckage with those crashing waves is one of my favorite moments from the sequel films. Plus, there’s some serious poetry their tying into Revenge’s Mustafar duel; in that fight, they’re on a fire planet with the Skywalker on the offensive. On Endor, their surrounded by water, and the Skywalker (Kylo) is defending himself.

The fact that the two sith lords who have been terrorizing the galaxy and have taken over an entire planet are beaten so easily by Sidious that the only two times he shows any weakness at all (the one time he seems a little winded and the time Maul actually lands a kick) he stops toying with them for a moment and just ends the fight, first by knocking out Maul and killing Savage and then by beating Maul. As for whether or not I can like this video given that this fight wasn't higher on the list?

      Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
      How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement.
      If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace.
      He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .

    I understand that everyone likes to throw jokes around about the "I have the high ground" quote but there is actual significance to it. Soresu is the form Obi Wan was known for. It was a powerful defensive form of lightsaber combat that Obi Wan was known as an unparalleled master of. There is a stance that involves having higher ground than your opponent that makes your defense unbreakable and being the best at that style both Obi Wan and Anakin knew that. Obi Wan was trying to point it out to get Anakin to give up and back down hoping he could see that he wouldn't win in that situation so he wouldn't have to hurt his apprentice.

    • @wd3185

    I fundamentally think not having the Rebels Obi-wan vs Maul final fight is a crime. That has got to be the most poetic Star Wars scenes ever.

    “Hello there!!”
    The moment this list is uploaded, I have to say those two immortal words from the high ground master and the master of sass and trolling in words, Obi wan Kenobi. ⚔️⚔️⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏.
    Impressive, most impressive. Another quote that summarized his former apprentice turned Sith Lord. The force is strong with this list. Seeing Rey force pulled the saber to her hand is just gorgeous, even years after its release since 2015.

      I love how you people know nothing about agen kolar, kit fitso, and saesee tinn considering they were one of the best within the jedi order and sidious kills all three of them in a few seconds. Has nothing to do with them being irrelevant. Just that it shows how powerful sidious was

    The best part about Luke vs Vader is the way Palpitine sits on his throne and tries to manipulate Luke the way he did Anakin. Also when Vader says "Obi-Wan taught you well" after Luke kicks him down the stairs to gain the highground was amazing.
    Even if it wasn't 20 years of foreshadowing for the prequels, it's still amazing they remembered all that and put it in the prequel movies.

    Obi wan vs Maul in rebels was amazing!!!! The little details they put in the fight, the attention to the stance of each combatant, it was beautiful. Deserves to be on the list.
