History Heartwarming / RevengeOfTheSith

-->'''Bail:''' My wife and I will take the girl. We've always talked about adopting a baby girl. [[GoodParents She will be loved with us.]]

* Anakin refusing to leave Obi Wan behind while on the Separatist Command Ship. Considering how much he and Obi Wan argue, he could have easily decided to leave Obi Wan behind, though he chose to carry him on his shoulders.

* 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 it'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!

And seriously, how sweet is ANAKIN SKYWALKER clearly wanting a little girl?!

-->'''Padme'''': What are we going to do?!

-->'''Padm&eacute''': What are we going to do?!

* 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.
-->'''Anakin''': This is a happy moment, the happiest moment of my life.

-->'''Anakin''': ''This is a happy moment, the happiest moment of my life.''

* Another meta example: Creator/EwanMcGregor admits he actually teared up when R2D2 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).

* 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!".

* 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]].

* During the meeting in which they discuss what to do with the twins, Obi-Wan is understandably crestfallen: his Order has fallen and he has had to kill or maim his best friend. But then Yoda tells him he has training for him, training he learned from an old friend who has returned from the netherworld of The Force, Obi’s old master. Obi-Wan’s face lights up in surprise.
-->'''Obi-Wan:'''Qui-Gon?

* Worried by his dreams of Padmé dying, Anakin goes to Yoda. While it's no secret that a) Yoda's very busy and b) there's not much love lost between them, Yoda takes the time to listen to Anakin's fears and try to comfort him. YMMV on how good his advice was, but he took time out of his busy schedule to genuinely try to help Anakin, and that's very kind.

** Bail Organa's words when he offers to adopt Leia. And we know he kept his word and that Leia was HappilyAdopted and raised to be the BadAssPrincess we all know and love.

** 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''. [[spoiler: ''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.]]

* The moment when Anakin asks Obi-Wan's forgiveness for not being a good student. And Obi-Wan praises him. Also a TearJerker - it is their last moment as friends... (in living, though.)

* Padme telling Anakin she's pregnant. His grin absolutely makes it. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic even calls this one of the best moments in the prequel trilogy.

* Near the start of the film, Anakin verbally defends R2-D2 when he thinks Obi-Wan may be (unintentionally) insulting the droid, telling his former Master, "No loose-wire jokes," and declaring that R2-D2 is "Doing his best." It's really heartwarming, especially since we didn't get to see that much of this part of Anakin's personality until the Clone Wars cartoon came out.
* A subtle one, but after Obi-Wan's duel with Anakin on Mustafar, he returns to Padme'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.
** Doubles as a call-forward to 'A New Hope' in which Luke gives Threepio a similar pat when the latter is forced to wait outside the Cantina.

* When Anakin disrupts Mace’s fight with Palpatine, Mace holds out his hand to Anakin to warn him to stay back. One gets the impression that, despite not seeing eye-to-eye with Anakin and clashing with him a lot, Mace still doesn’t want to see him hurt and is trying to protect him from Palpatine. Becomes something of a {{Tearjerker}} when the viewer considers what Anakin does to Mace moments later…
* It’s a subtle moment, but when Obi-Wan comes to see Padme about Anakin after his fall to the Dark Side, Padme 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 Padme never seemed to even consider turning Obi-Wan in, letting him into her home willingly.

* In ''RevengeOfTheSith'', Padme telling Anakin she's pregnant. His grin absolutely makes it. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic even calls this one of the best moments in the prequel trilogy.

* The ending of the film as Luke and Leia are passed on to their adoptive parents, promising that despite all of the evil that has won for now, the galaxy still has [[TitleDrop a new hope]] waiting for it.

** In the novelization, Palpatine attempts several times to make Anakin fall further to the dark side after killing Dooku. He tells him to let Obi-Wan there, he plays up his fragile old man act so Anakin will have to drop Obi-Wan to his death to save him, he dangles the prospect of becoming the war hero who slayed both Dooku and Grievous, violating orders, etc. But each time he does that, not only does Anakin refuse out of his friendship with Obi-Wan, he realizes that ''he does not like Palpatine at all when he makes these suggestions''. Their friendship is so great that it almost allows Anakin to see through Sidious's doting old man act.
