I just realized something that makes me so sad.

Anakin's relationships are all desperately, horribly tragic in retrospect. This is the entire point of his character arc.

But yes, there are loads of little moments that are just heart-breaking, and especially in the Clone Wars which goes out of its way to show the relationships between the characters in a way that the live-action films can't do, which eventually makes Anakin's fall even more of a gut-punch.

All the little bits of banter between Anakin and Obi-wan, the way old and good friends break each other's balls. "How tall are you, Anakin?"

Or all the affectionate moments between Anakin and Ahsoka, like on Geonosis where he refuses to leave until she and Barriss have been dug out.

Or the throwaway line when he's chatting to Ahsoka and Padme half-affectionately half-appalled says "I can't believe they let you teach!"

Sidious is one evil SOB.
