Toxic politics, but make it lightsabers. This scene from “Revenge of the Sith” isn’t just Jedi drama — it’s a sharp look at what happens when politics gets extreme. When Anakin says he’s brought “peace, freedom, justice, and security” to “his new empire,” it shows how people can believe they’re doing the right thing, even as they shut others out. The real kicker is when he tells Obi-Wan, “If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy.” That kind of all-or-nothing thinking is the fuel behind toxic polarization. Obi-Wan’s rebuttal — “Only a Sith deals in absolutes” — calls it out for what it is: a mindset that leaves no room for disagreement, nuance, or growth. This moment still hits today because it shows how quickly things can fall apart when we stop listening and start picking sides like it’s a zero-sum game. #StarWars #StarWarsDay #MayTheFourth #Anakin #Obiwan
