Revenge Of The Sith Movie Facts, Easter Eggs and hidden details

The scene where Obi Wan delivers Luke to Owen and Beru was actually shot during the filming of Attack of the Clones, as George Lucas did not want to revisit the desert to get one shot in.

: Padme was buried with her baby bump in place so that people would think the twins died with her.

I just noticed that George Lucas picks parts from different takes of actors and morphs them within the same shot. Focus your eyes on Anakin, his face and hair starts to transform. (x-post from r/movies)

When Obi-Wan dismembered Anakin we see his eyes permanently turn yellow as a sign of him fully being corrupted by the Dark Side. Prior to this his eyes changed eye colour off-screen from one scene to another depending on the situation.

General Grievous can be seen wielding two lightsabers that very closely Luke's original lightsaber (top) and his Return of the Jedi lightsaber (bottom). However the colors originally are swapped between these two lightsabers.

The music almost sounds like Anakin's mother saying "Don't leave me, no". This happens as Padme realizes she isn't talking to Anakin, but Darth Vader. At this point, he does, in fact, leave everyone behind, even those he loves.

Before Vader's helmet is lowered onto Anakin's face you can faintly hear "Padme help me". Start at 3:40

When Anakin storms the Jedi Temple in Revenge of the Sith (2005) he is followed by the 501st Legion. The 501st is the same team Anakin leads in the Clone Wars TV Series (2008).

: When Obi-Wan says goodbye to Anakin for the last time, Anakin is in shadows while Obi-Wan is out in the light, showing that Anakin has already begun is transition to the dark side.

Palpatine explains that a sith and Jedi "are similar in almost every way, including OUR quest for power", meaning he slipped up and told Anikan he was the Sith but Anikan did not pick up on it.

While Grievous draws his sabers, we see one battle droid in the back nudge another to get it to pay attention. This implies the droids aren't just mindless killing machines but have (at least) the ability to drift off into their thoughts or get bored & be distracted.

Jedi Master Cin Drallig was portrayed by the film's stunt coordinator, Nick Gillard, who choreographed all the prequel lightsaber duels. The name Cin Drallig is actually his name in reverse.

Near the end, Anakin is confident that he can jump over Obi-Wan because he had succeeded in doing so just minutes earlier. However, at that time they had been on even ground.

Anakin and Obi Wan have a battle on Mustafar. The word "Mustafa" is an actual word meaning "Chosen One" in Arabic. Anakin in the film was the Chosen One.

During Padme's funeral in Revenge of the Sith (2005), her corpse is disguised with a pregnant belly so as to hide the fact that her children were born and avoid arousing suspicion.

When Palpatine tells Anakin and Obi-wan they are no match for Dooku, he is trying to give Anakin the impression that the Sith are generally more powerful, which shows how early on he is trying to win Anakin over.

General Grievous has six fingers on each hand. This means that when his arms split into four arms such as during his duel against Obi-Wan Kenobi he will have two fingers and one thumb per hand, meaning he can still hold things properly, such as a lightsaber.
