History Heartwarming / RevengeOfTheSith

* It's implied in the film, and stated outright in the novelization, that Obi-Wan knew all along that Padmé and Anakin were a couple, but he chose not to say anything due to the fact that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she was about the only thing that made him genuinely happy]].

-->"You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you."

* Worried by his dreams of Padmé dying, Anakin goes to Yoda. While it's no secret that Yoda's very busy due to the war, he takes the time to listen to Anakin's fears and tries to comfort him. YMMV on how good his advice was, particularly because Anakin is evasively leaving out [[SecretRelationship key details]] about his problems, but he took time out of his busy schedule to genuinely try to help Anakin, and that's very kind. It's also touching that despite the tense relationship between Anakin and the council around this time, he genuinely sought out Yoda's advice thinking it would help -- even though he wound up not using it.

** This moment is even better in the novelization, and doubles as a TearJerker, because Anakin somehow senses that in a few days, everything will have changed, and this will be his last chance to say something like this. He sees his master off because he is desperate for his old master not to leave, and because he can feel that he will need his master to show him the way amidst the confusion. The implication is clear: Obi-Wan and Anakin's bond is so strong that had the Council allowed Obi-Wan to stay on Coruscant, everything would have been fine and Palpatine would have lost.

* During the opening battle, when Anakin hears their clone wingmen are taking a battering from droid fighters, he's willing to break off from their mission and help the clones fight off their attackers. Obi-Wan reminds him rescuing the Chancellor is more important and the clones are willingly sacrificing themselves so they can complete their objective, but Anakin is clearly saddened at having to abandon comrades in arms, and again shows his appreciation and consideration for the clones, something not a lot of Jedi (as ''The Clone Wars'' shows) share.

* While the circumstances are tragic, the last thing Obi-Wan says to Anakin before he has no choice but to thoroughly [[AnArmAndALeg mutilate]] him is "[[DontMakeMeDestroyYou Don't try it]]" in a seriously pleading tone. Right up until the very end, Obi-Wan didn't give up on redeeming Anakin.

-->'''Obi-Wan''': ''Ninth'' time. That [[NoodleIncident business on Cato Neimodia]] doesn't...doesn't count.

--->'''Obi-Wan:''' Anakin is the father, isn't he? [beat] I'm so sorry.

** The final shot of the film has Owen and Beru holding baby Luke, as they look at the binary sunset, in a touching CallBack to ''Film/ANewHope''.

''Film/TheLastJedi'' only adds to it, as Luke's last moments are spent looking at a Binary Sunset on Ahch-To, before becoming one with the Force. His life began and ended with a binary sunset.

* A meta example: The various bits of behind-the-scenes footage of Creator/HaydenChristensen and Creator/EwanMcGregor filming their famous lightsaber duel. They go from quite literally being ready to kill each other as Anakin and Obi-Wan to slapping each other on the back, complimenting each other, and otherwise being bromantic the instant George says "cut!".
* Another meta example: Creator/EwanMcGregor admits he actually teared up when Artoo-Detoo was wheeled off the set for the final time (keep in mind that back then everyone thought that ROTS marked the completion of the saga).

* Padmé telling Anakin she's pregnant. His grin absolutely makes it. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic even calls this one of the best moments in the Prequel Trilogy. And then there's the way he reacts when she worries about how they're going to handle it (a perfectly justified worry, considering that Jedi aren't allowed to marry and thus Anakin would be EXPELLED FROM THE ORDER if the Council were to find out.):

* It’s a subtle moment, but when Obi-Wan comes to see Padme about Anakin after his fall to the Dark Side, Padmé has been told that the Jedi are traitors and criminals, both by her husband and by Palpatine. They should probably be reported to the authorities straight away and not doing so could be seen as an act of treason in itself…and yet Padmé never seemed to even consider turning Obi-Wan in, letting him into her home willingly.

** This becomes even moreso in light of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'': The lost padawan he loves like a sister has returned, and will hopefully be back by his side soon(she just has to roll up one last loose end). With Dooku gone peace will finally return to the Galaxy, the closest thing he has to a family is about to be reunited, and now he's going to be a ''father''? This really is the highest point of his entire life.
* The novelization includes an absolutely ADORABLE moment between Anakin and Padmé wherein the former comes to the latter's apartment and inquires as to how she's doing. She responds that "he" keeps kicking, to which a surprised Anakin asks how she knows the baby's a boy, since she had asked her medical droid not to "spoil the surprise". Padmé says it's her motherly intuition, then places Anakin's hand on her belly so he can feel their unborn child's kicks for himself. As soon as he does, he teases his wife by remarking that, with a kick that strong, the baby is "definitely a girl". Turns out, of course, that they're BOTH right. And seriously, the idea of ANAKIN freaking SKYWALKER wanting a little girl is just way too sweet!

* Similarly, after successfully pulling off a landing which Obi-Wan considers to be "textbook impossible," the very first thing Anakin does is to look to Obi-Wan for approval. He just did something which 99% of pilots would've considered a pipe dream, but he doesn't smile and relax until Obi-Wan's "another happy landing" line.
* The ending of novel is brilliant. Each of the chapters has Dark Side-ish introductions, but at the end...

* A subtle one, but after Obi-Wan's duel with Anakin on Mustafar, he returns to Padmé's ship, and Threepio is out there waiting for him. When Threepio suggest they should leave, Obi-Wan just gives him a weary pat on the shoulder. It's a small but very touching moment.

* There’s a very brief scene with Anakin and Padmé sitting together in her apartment and Anakin has his arms around her, with his hand apparently on her pregnant stomach to feel their unborn baby. It’s just a very short, but heartwarming scene of them being a happy, normal family before the storm hits.

* It's implied in the film, and stated outright in the novelization, that Obi-Wan knew all along that Padme and Anakin were a couple, but chose not to say anything due to the fact that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she was about the only thing that made him genuinely happy]].
** Moreover, when he discovers that Padmé is pregnant- and thus his instincts were correct- he reacts not with anger, but with compassion and understanding. You can practically ''feel'' his heart breaking for her. Definitely a bit of a TearJerker as well.
