: Re: Screenwriting Techniques: Emotional Projection NECESSARY INFORMATION Recently I saw someone on the internet say that Revenge Of The Sith was so powerful because of an effect called "Emotional Projection."

In the case of Revenge of the Sith, these characters are you and your best friend because you have been able to empathize with them and their relationship. You've seen them fight together, take wounds for each other, banter, and show-off. You've just spent the last hour-and-a-half watching one of them spiral out of control partially because the other wasn't there for them.

The key is to create empathy between the audience and the characters relationships. The final fight hits hard because these friends, that we've seen being incredibly close, are now put on opposite sides of the battle over another person, despite still holding the same ideals, just different ways of carrying them out. It's a much more violent version of the "drift apart" style of ending friendships, but that's what it needed to convey to show how these characters are now on opposite sides of a dichotomy.
