Not even trying to be hyperbolic when I say that this scene isn’t just one of the best moments from the Prequel Trilogy, but rather is also one of the greatest scenes that George Lucas ever directed in his career.
So much is said merely through imagery and John Williams’ incredible score. A brief scene that ultimately acts as a visual manifestation of the thesis for one trilogy, and the bridge for another to soon begin.
Such a foreboding moment. Outright masterful craftsmanship.
