A crucial turning point in Palpatines many manipulative conversations with Anakin is when he shares the story of Darth Plagueis with him. While Anakin claims that Jedi is perfectly good and their intentions remain infinitely selfless, Palpatine claims that both Jedi and Sith are much more equal than anyone acknowledges.
Dark Plaguei's story becomes an eerie foreshadow for Anakin before turning to the dark side and eventually becomes Darth Vader. If not for Palpatine who shared this story, maybe Anakin's future could have been much brighter.

Anakin, or “Ani” as Padme lovingly refers to him, shared a playful relationship with Padme when they were once again united as adults. This playfulness is seen in Padmes teasing, along with Anakin's sarcasm and fast width, which is very clear through this quote from Clone attack.
Instead of an explanation of his negotiations, Anakin instead refers to his Lightsaber fight as “aggressive negotiations”, but it is technically a civil conversation, right?

Anakin to General Grievous

From the moment I met you, for all these years ago, has not a day passed when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again … I'm in anxiety. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The idea of not being with you- I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart beats … Hope kiss doesn't become a scar. You are in my soul and torment me … What can I do? I will do everything you ask.
This special scene shows Anakin on his most emotionally vulnerable, and what makes it even more convincing is the fact that Jedi learns to avoid embracing such emotions.
