The tragedy of Revenge of the Sith is not that it was unavoidable. It was so, so very avoidable, up until the last minute, and even beyond then.
Anakin’s choices are what defined the narrative; him choosing differently just once could’ve saved everyone. Anakin had every chance, every reason, every ability not to do what he did. He still did it.
And we can’t stop him. We can’t take those choices away from him, we can’t change them or fix him. We can only watch as he chooses wrong and wrong and wrong, because it’s not our story , it’s his, and it’s already over.
The tragedy of the Prequels was never that they were always going to happen like that. The tragedy is that we could never have stopped them ending like that. They happened a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Nothing could’ve been done to change them. They already happened. Anakin already made them happen.
