6. Palpatine Turns Anakin to the Dark Side
Revenge of the Sith
“The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.” When Palpatine tells Anakin the story of Darth Plagueis, who was so well-versed in the dark side of the force that he could even keep the ones he loved from dying, Anakin turns to the dark side because he is too attached to the ones he loves. Ian McDiarmid delivers his lines so well in this scene and does such a great job of playing the bad guy, it’s no wonder Anakin was so easily swayed to the dark side.
