“Is It Possible to Learn This Power? is a memorable quote uttered by Anakin Skywalker in the 2005 science fiction film Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Online, a screenshot of the line being said has been used as a reaction image expressing reverence for another.

Origin

On May 19th, 2005, the film Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. In the film, the character Senator Palpatine tells the character Anakin Skywalker (portrayed by Ian McDiarmid
and Hayden Christensen, respectively) “The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise,” a myth about a man who could bring people back from the dead. At the end of the speech, Anakin asks, “Is it possible to learn this power?”
