A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... War. The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor...
Padme to Bail: This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.
Padme: Anakin, you're breaking my heart!
Anakin: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom and security to my new Empire.
Obi-Wan: Your new Empire?
Anakin: Don't make me kill you.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic... to democracy.
Anakin: If you're not with me, you're my enemy.
Obi-Wan: Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.
Anakin: You will try.
Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!
Anakin: I hate you!
Obi-Wan: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.
Medical Droid: Medically, she is completely healthy. For reasons we can't explain, we are losing her.
Obi-Wan: She's dying?
Medical Droid: We don't know why. She has lost the will to live. We need to operate quickly if we are to save the babies.
Senator Bail Organa: Babies?
Medical Droid: She's carrying twins.
Yoda: Save them, we must. They are our last hope.
The Emperor: Lord Vader, can you hear me?
Darth Vader: Yes, Master. Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she all right?
The Emperor: It seems in your anger, you killed her.
Darth Vader: I? I couldn't have. She was alive. I felt her.
*things begin to implode in the room, including droids. Vader breaks loose from his restraints, takes his first steps, and then rears back in anger and pain while the Emperor smiles* Noooooo!
Palpatine: I hope you trust me, Anakin.
Anakin: Of course.
Palpatine: I need your help, son. I want you to be the eyes, ears, and voice of the Republic. Anakin, I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi Council.
Anakin: Me? A Master? I'm overwhelmed, sir. But the Council elects its own members. They will never accept this.
Palpatine: I think they will. They need you, more than you know.
Padme: I'm not going to die in childbirth, Anakin. I promise you.
Anakin: No, I promise you.
Anakin: I feel lost.
Padme: Lost?
Anakin: Obi-Wan and the Council don't trust me.
Padme: They trust you with their lives.
Anakin: Something's happening. I'm not the Jedi I should be. I want more. And I know I shouldn't.
Anakin: Ray shields.
Obi-Wan: Wait a minute. How did this happen? We're smarter than this.
Anakin: Apparently not.
Anakin: Are you all right? You're trembling. What's going on?
Padme: Something wonderful has happened. Ani, I'm pregnant.
Darth Sidious to Separatists: I am sending you my apprentice, Darth Vader. He will... take care of you.
Obi-Wan: He is in great danger.
Padme: From the Sith?
Obi-Wan: From himself.
Anakin: You've turned her against me.
Obi-Wan: You have done that yourself.
Anakin: You took her away from me.
Obi-Wan: Your anger and lust for power have already done that.
Padme: Anakian, your breaking my heart, your going down a path that I can't follow.
Anakin: Because of Obi-Wan.
Padme: It's because of what you've done, what you plan to do.
Yoda: Premonitions, premonitions. These visions you have...
Anakin: They are of pain, suffering. Death.
Yoda: Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?
Anakin: Someone.
Yoda: Close to you?
Anakin: Yes.
Yoda: Careful you must be when sensing the future Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.
Anakin: I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.
Yoda: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is.
Anakin: What must I do, Master Yoda?
Yoda: Train yourself to let go... of everything you fear to lose.
Anakin: I swear to you... I didn't ask to be put on the council.
Obi-Wan: But it's what you wanted. Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off. Anakin, I am on your side. I did not want to put you in this situation
Anakin: What situation?
Obi-Wan: The Council wants you to report on all the Chancellor's dealings.
Anakin: They want me to spy on the Chancellor? But that is treason!
Obi-Wan: We are at war, Anakin.
Anakin: You are so... beautiful.
Padme: It's only because I'm so in love.
Anakin: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Padme: So love has blinded you?
Anakin: *laughs* Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
Padme: But it's probably true.
Obi-Wan: Anakin did not take to his new assignment with much enthusiasm.
Mace Windu: It's very dangerous, putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle it. I don't trust him.
Obi-Wan: With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?
Mace Windu: So the prophecy says.
Yoda: A prophecy that misread could have been.
Obi-Wan: He will not let me down. He never has.
Yoda: I hope right you are.
