General Grievous (the part alien/part droid leader of the Separatist
military) has taken Supreme Chancellor Palpatine prisoner and they are
both now on board the Trade Federation cruiser with Count Dooku above
Coruscant. To the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, this
battle appears to be a defining moment in the Clone Wars, but Count
Dooku and Palpatine planned this situation so they could be together and
plan for the future. However, Palpatine's true motives are to have Dooku
killed and the Separatist movement destroyed.
Anakin and Obi-Wan are leading the Republic forces in the battle.
During
the fighting, Buzzer droids take off the head of Obi-Wan's R4 astromech
droid on his star fighter and the Buzzers nearly get R2-D2 also, but
Anakin saves them. Anakin and Obi-Wan land in the Trade Federation
cruiser's landing dock and enter the cruiser. The two Jedi encounter
many obstacles. Anakin and Obi-Wan encounter General Grievous and his
body guards. Grievous fights Obi-Wan and Anakin takes on the body
guards. However, Grievous and his bodyguards flee the cruiser and
escape.
Next Anakin and Obi-Wan find Dooku where Palpatine is being held
prisoner. Obi-Wan is either knocked out or distracted, which leaves
Anakin to battle Dooku alone, while Palpatine cheers Anakin on.
After Anakin kills Dooku, the Trade Federation cruiser is crashing
towards the surface of Coruscant, but Anakin saves the day with his
piloting skills. Clone fire fighters arrive and quench the fire and
everyone is safe.
Our heroes are welcomed back at the Galactic Senate. Palpatine
personally thanks Anakin for his heroics and wants Anakin added to the
Jedi Council. Anakin is placed on the Jedi Council. Palpatine invites
Anakin to a theater show later that night.
Padme and other Senators are in the Supreme Chancellor's main office
asking Palpatine to give up his leadership role as Supreme Chancellor.
The Jedi Council meets and assigns Obi-Wan to the planet Utapau to take
out General Grievous and to help Plo Koon and Ki-Adi Mundi. Meanwhile
Yoda goes to Kashyyyk (the Wookiee home world) for Alaya Secura and
Anakin remains on Coruscant as Palpatine's bodyguard. Anakin is upset
with all that and wants to be made a Jedi Master. Anakin has already
been made a full-fledged Jedi Knight. Yoda speaks with Anakin about his
attachments and death before leaving for Kashyyyk.
Anakin goes to Padme's apartment and stays with her until it is time to
attend the theater show with Palpatine.
Padme holds a meeting regarding Palpatine with the likes of Bail Organa
and Mon Mothma in attendance.
At the theater Palpatine explains to Anakin how a dictatorship would be
best for the galaxy, why the Jedi are weak and other such topics. Later
on, Anakin goes back to Padme. Anakin goes to sleep and is woken by a
terrible nightmare.
Obi-Wan arrives on Utapau and watches as the Republic military is almost
beaten in battle. As Obi-Wan's clone troopers fight General Grievous'
battle droids, Obi-Wan chases General Grievous and his bodyguards.
Obi-Wan rides on a lizard-like creature and eventually arrives at a
cave. Obi-Wan proceeds to decimate all of Grievous' body guards, but
Grievous proves to be an apt opponent. Grievous mistakenly thinks he has
defeated Obi-Wan and begins to tell Obi-Wan the true plans of Darth
Sidious and Sidious' true identity as Palpatine.
Obi-Wan manages to escape the icy-cold hand of death by killing Grievous
with a laser blaster. It turns out that General Grievous is like the
Trade Federation Control Ship from The Phantom Menace because Grievous
controls all the Separatist battle droids in the galaxy. With Grievous
dead, all the battle droids are off line. The Clone Wars come to an
abrupt end with all the Separatist leaders going into hiding.
Yoda helps Chewbacca and the other Wookiees defeat the battle droids on
Kashyyyk.
Obi-Wan immediately contacts Mace Windu by hologram tells Windu that
Darth Sidious is Chancellor Palpatine. Anakin leaves Padme while she is
sleeping and heads to Palpatine's office. Anakin finds Mace Windu and
other Jedi Masters battling Palpatine. Anakin is confused and can't tell
what is really going on. Anakin begins to protect Palpatine and takes
out all the Jedi except Mace Windu, who remains conscious.
Fatefully,
Anakin chooses to turn to the dark side to kill Mace Windu and joins the
Sith Order while Palpatine explains everything while they take on Windu.
After Palpatine explains the true nature of things to Anakin, Anakin
takes some clone troopers into the Jedi Temple and they kill everyone
there including the Jedi children.
Next Palpatine declares himself Emperor in the Galactic Senate and
brands the Jedi as the enemy of the galaxy. The security guards won't
allow Bail Organa to enter so that Organa can oppose Palpatine's take
over of the galaxy.
In massive attacks, the clone troopers turn against their Jedi leaders.
This includes Commander Cody on Utapau with Obi-Wan and the clone
troopers with Yoda on Kashyyyk. Luckily Chewbacca and the Wookiees save
Yoda.
Yoda goes back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to find the entire Jedi
Council dead. Yoda watches footage of Anakin killing the younglings and
bowing to Palpatine. In the most amazing battle of all time, Darth
Sidious steps out of the shadows of the Jedi Temple and proceeds to take
down Yoda. This fierce battle ends with Yoda defeated and Sidious Force
pushes Yoda off the top of the Jedi Temple. Bail Organa arrives to catch
the falling Yoda in his speeder. Organa is then briefly chased by clone
troopers, but manages to escape.
Bail Organa and Yoda head for Alderaan, where Organa holds a secret
meeting and establishes the Rebel Alliance.
Obi-Wan contacts Yoda and finds out from Yoda the terrible events that
have recently unfolded. Obi-Wan finds Padme and learns everything from
her and then Obi-Wan takes her and the droids (C-3PO and R2-D2) to
Alderaan.
Anakin goes to Padme's apartment on Coruscant, but finds her abode
empty. Palpatine tells Anakin that the Jedi have taken Padme. Next
Palpatine orders Anakin to go to Mustafar to kill all the remaining
Separatist leaders.
By using the Force, Obi-Wan can sense that Anakin is on Mustafar. Padme
wants to go with Obi-Wan and R2-D2, but Obi-Wan won't allow her to join
them. Padme leaves Alderaan with C-3PO.
Anakin proceeds to kill all the Separatist leaders hiding in the
Separatist base on Mustafar. Padme confronts Anakin and Obi-Wan arrives
on Mustafar. Anakin chokes Padme and Force pushes her against a nearby
wall, knocking her unconscious. The legendary Anakin vs. Obi-Wan duel
commences. Anakin and Obi-Wan move outside the Separatist base and up
the volcano, which starts to erupt.
Anakin is much more powerful than Obi-Wan, but Obi-Wan turns Anakin's
colossal strength into Anakin's weakness so that Anakin is unable to
think clearly and thereby Anakin makes mistakes. Obi-Wan pushes Anakin
into the molten lava pit. Lava flows endanger the lives of our heroes.
Meanwhile, R2-D2 and C-3PO have been trying to rescue Padme from the
lava and they are found by Yoda and Bail Organa in the Tantive IV at the
last possible moment of survival. Yoda and Organa also save Obi-Wan from
the lava danger.
Padme begins to go into premature labor and our heroes land on nearby
Utapau where Tion Meddon and his droids attempt to save Padme and the
Skywalker twins. However, Padme dies after giving birth to the twins.
She dies in the arms of Obi-Wan.
Palpatine's people remove Anakin from the lava pit and place Anakin into
the Darth Vader mask and armor. When Anakin regains consciousness, he is
so angry that he has caused the death of Padme that Anakin uses the
Force to destroy the medical droids and lab with his mind and breaks
free from being held on the table. This Force explosion even manages to
disfigure Palpatine.
Through the Force, Obi-Wan and Yoda sense that Anakin is still alive.
Bail Organa drops Obi-Wan and baby Luke off on Tatooine. Yoda is then
taken to Dagobah. Organa then heads to Naboo and orders his captain to
wipe the memory banks of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Bail Organa with baby Leia, his wife, the Queen of Naboo and Naboo
dignitaries attend Padme's funeral march on Naboo.
On Tatooine, Obi-Wan hands baby Luke over to Owen and Beru Lars.
From the deck of a star destroyer, Darth Vader, Palpatine and Tarkin
watch the death star being constructed. Fade to black. Roll end credits
