Revenge of the Sixth: Order 66 & Yoda Edition

quote:

---

One of the most poignant scenes in Star Wars, perhaps in SF cinema overall, is the execution of Order 66 in Episode III Revenge of the Sith. What is most beautiful is that the poignancy is implied. It is moving beyond words from what we know to be true rather than what is told to us.
Consider Yoda's scene.

He's almost 900. Every living Jedi has been trained by Yoda at some point in their lives. Yoda has known all 10,000 of the extant Jedi since they were infants. They are the only family he has and he is one of the few constants in their lives.

Through the Force he feels each of them die. Each of them confused and afraid as the clone troops turn their rifles and fire. Each Jedi knows they have been betrayed, and through the Force we can assume that most of them are feeling this happen to their friends, their family, across the Galaxy.

But Yoda, more than any other Jedi, feels all of them. At once. And he knows, whether or not he could have prevented this; whether he could possibly have seen it coming, he knows in his heart that he should.
Roughly 10,000 of the people he loves most in the Galaxy die at once, and he feels every one go. 900 years of his life and a thousand years of the Jedi are wasted in that moment, and he feels it all go like watching the sun blown out like a candle.

Like 10,000 suns. 10,000 candles. And Yoda, more than any other, feels them go out. Yoda, suddenly almost completely alone in the Force, is left to feel the darkness that remains.
