** To put it in perspective, the exact moment that Vader - or at least, what will ''become'' Vader - takes over is when Anakin catches the would-be CoupDeGrace from Ventress with his bare hands. ''Duel Of The Fates'' kicks in, Anakin's face is framed in an eerie red light, and with little effort, he squeezes Ventress' arm so hard she drops one of her sabers and pushes her to the edge of the temple they've been fighting on. There's a single, lingering shot of Anakin picking up the discarded blade with the Force, then he ''snaps''. He roars in anger, charges straight at her, breaks through her defenses and beats her into the ground, with the horrified spectres of Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Yoda appearing between every strike, and then and only then does the ground give way and Ventress fall to her (temporary) doom. He then lets out a [[TheBeserker feral yell of triumph]]. Anakin might be years off from properly becoming Vader, but in that moment, the spirit of the Sith Lord that would terrorize a galaxy firmly took root in Anakin's soul.

* [[PlayingWithSyringes The Techno Union's horrific experiments]] themselves. The Nelvaanian males are taken prisoner, stuffed into [[PeopleJars vats of green liquid]], and the Skakoans do ''something'' horrible to them that ''melts'' their flesh and turns them into grotesque, morbidly obese {{Bioweapon Beast}}s many times larger than their original humanoid forms. These mutants then have their right hands amputated and replaced with {{Arm Cannon}}s that seem to draw power from somewhere ''inside'' their bodies''. [[{{Understatement}} It's not very pleasant]].

* The Battle of Coruscant shows that the space battle is so full of ships that one of the Confederacy ships coming out of hyperdrive [[RammingAlwaysWorks promptly rams]] into a Republic ship, [[TooFastToStop unable to stop in time]].

** The scariest moment, however, has him as the ''victim''. Grievous prepares to face Mace Windu... Who simply uses the Force to ''crush his ribcage''. In a single instant, with a single move that didn't even physically ''touch'' him, the unstoppable HeroKiller has been turned into someone who ''has'' to run against Jedi. Grievous' expression of [[NoSoStoic bug-eyed horror and pain]] really adds to the moment, as does the sickly, wheezing cough he immediately lets out.
