Anakin and Obi-Wan make their way through the Federation Cruiser, fighting through an army of droids. They reach the room where Chancellor Palpatine is being held captive by Count Dooku. A lightsaber battle ensues, with the two Jedi teaming up against Dooku. During the battle, Obi-Wan is rendered unconscious. Anakin continues the battle, gaining the upper hand and cutting off Dooku’s arms. With Dooku on his knees, Anakin holds his (and Dooku’s) lightsaber to Dooku’s neck. With encouragement from Palpatine, Anakin beheads the helpless Count. Jedi activate their lightsabers in the Battle of Geonosis. ...

The Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer Guarlara launches a final cannonade that mortally wounds the ship, and it begins to descend uncontrolled into Coruscant. Anakin carries the unconscious Obi-Wan on his back, and maneuvers through the ship with Palpatine. Obi-Wan later regains consciousness. The Venator-class Star Destroyer is a fictional warship from the Star Wars saga, introduced in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. ...

The three are captured by General Grievous. R2-D2 creates a distraction, allowing the Jedi to retrieve their lightsabers and break free. However, Grievous manages to escape, as well as release all the remaining escape pods.

On Coruscant, Anakin is praised for his heroics. He meets secretly with Padmé Amidala, and they share kisses in the shadows, keeping their love secret. She reveals to him that she is pregnant. Padmé Naberrie Skywalker, also Her Royal Highness, Queen Amidala of the Naboo and later Senator Amidala of Naboo (46 - 19 BBY), is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe played by Natalie Portman. ...

Later, Anakin awakens in a panic, covered in sweat. He reveals to Padmé that he has been dreaming about her dying in childbirth, and he vows not to let this dream come true.

Chancellor Palpatine requests Anakin’s presence, and they meet in the Chancellor’s Coruscant apartment. The Senate has granted the Chancellor further emergency war powers, giving him direct control of the Jedi Council. Palpatine confides to Anakin his fear, distrust, and contempt of the Jedi. He appoints Anakin to be his personal representative on the Jedi Council.

The Jedi Council accepts Anakin’s appointment, but does not grant him the rank of Master. Anakin reacts angrily, insisting he is more powerful than anyone else on the council. The council goes on to discuss matters concerning the war. It is decided that Anakin will be assigned to protect the Chancellor, and Yoda will take a battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk. Anakin is angry and disappointed.

Obi-Wan later tells Anakin that the Jedi Council wants Anakin to report on all the Chancellor’s dealings, essentially spying on him. Anakin is outraged, but accepts the mission.

At the Galaxies Opera House in Coruscant, Anakin joins Palpatine in watching the Mon Calamari Ballet performing “Squid Lake”. Palpatine continues to seduce Anakin to the dark side, making him mistrust the Jedi. He also tells him of Darth Plagueis, a Sith Lord that used the Force to save people from death, but whose apprentice (Darth Sidious) killed him in his sleep. Palpatine says the ability to save people from death is not something that can be learned from a Jedi. Darth Plagueis is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, who is mentioned in passing during Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. ... Darth Sidious is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. ...

The Jedi Council receives word from Palpatine that General Grievous is on the planet of Utapau. They decide to send Obi-Wan to Utapau. Anakin is upset that he was not chosen instead.

Obi-Wan arrives on Utapau and searches for General Grievous, riding a lizard-like creature called a varctyl. This particular one is named Boga. He finds Grievous and the two erupt in battle, with Grievous using four lightsabers at once. Grievous attempts to flee on a Wheel Scooter, and Obi-Wan pursues astride on Boga. During the chase, Obi-Wan drops his lightsaber.

On Coruscant, Anakin tells Palpatine that General Grievous has been found by Obi-Wan on Utapau. Anakin insists he should be on Utapau as well. Their conversation shifts to Palpatine’s knowledge of the force, and it is revealed that he is the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Upon realizing this, Anakin ignites his lightsaber and threatens to kill Palpatine, but then decides to expose him to the Jedi Council. General Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi (57 - 0 BBY) was a Jedi Master, of legendary status, in the fictional Star Wars universe. ...

Obi-Wan continues to chase General Grievous on Utapau. He catches up with the general, and the two engage in melee combat. Obi-Wan manages to grab and rip off General Grievous’ loose chestplate, exposing the heart in his chest. Obi-Wan retrieves the droid’s blaster. Obi-Wan shoots the general in the chest, causing him to explode from the inside out, killing him.

Anakin tells Mace Windu that Chancellor Palapatine is the Sith Lord they had been looking for. Anakin offers to help in Palpatine’s arrest, but Windu urges him to stay out of it.

Through the Force, Palpatine speaks to Anakin, telling him that if he dies, Padme will die in childbirth. Palpatine tells him that only with his help can she be saved. Anakin rushes to Palpatine.

Mace Windu and three other Jedi Masters arrive at Chancellor Palpatine’s office to have the Chancellor arrested. Palpatine pulls a lightsaber out of his sleeve and lunges, quickly striking down three Jedi. Palpatine and Mace continue to fight down the hallway and into the main office area. Meanwhile, Anakin arrives at the scene and watches the duel. During the duel, the Sith Lord’s Force lightning is deflected back onto him by Mace Windu, distorting Palpatine’s face. Just as Mace is about to finish Palpatine, Anakin cuts off Mace’s hand. Mace is caught off guard and hit by the full blast of Palpatine’s Force lightning. He is flung out the window and falls hundreds of stories to his death.

Anakin is distraught with what he has done, and confides in Palpatine. Palpatine takes Anakin as his Sith apprentice. Anakin kneels before Palpatine, and Palpatine bestows him with the Sith name “Darth Vader”. The Senate holds a meeting where Palpatine tells them of the “plot of the Jedi to overthrow the Senate”. Amidst thunderous applause, he announces that the Republic will be reorganized as the first Galactic Empire. Darth Vader is a fictional character from Star Wars. ...

At night, Anakin marches to the Jedi Temple with a battalion of Clone Stormtroopers. Anakin moves through the temple, striking down all the Jedi he comes across, including the younglings.

Later, Anakin goes to Padme, who sees the smoke rising from the Jedi Temple but does not know what is happening. He tells her the Jedi have tried to take over the Republic, and there are traitors in the Senate. He tells her that he will go to the Mustafar system, where the Separatist Council has gathered, and he will end the war. In the fictional world portrayed in the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Mustafar is a volcanic planet and the last homeworld of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. ...

Obi-Wan and Yoda go to the Jedi Temple, avoiding Clone Stormtroopers and walking in disbelief through the carnage. They send a signal warning all Jedi to keep away from the temple. At the temple’s control center, Obi-Wan looks into the security recordings. In disbelief, he sees Anakin slaughtering the Jedi. Yoda says they have no choice but to destroy the Sith – and Anakin Skywalker.

On Mustafar, Anakin slaughters the Separatist Council in cold blood. In the fictional world portrayed in the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Mustafar is a volcanic planet and the last homeworld of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. ...

Obi-Wan goes to Padme’s apartment, looking for Anakin. He meets Padme and tells her that Anakin has turned to the dark side and killed the younglings in the Jedi Temple. But Padme will not reveal where Anakin has gone, as he is the father of her children and her husband.

Later, Padme leaves Coruscant in her Naboo Skiff, departing to Mustafar to see Anakin. Unknown to her, Obi-Wan secretly boards the ship just before it takes off.

The Naboo Skiff lands on Mustafar. Anakin and Padme embrace. Anakin tells Padme that he has brought peace to the Republic, and he can overthrow Palpatine so he and Padme can rule the galaxy together. Padme tells him he is going down a path she cannot follow.

Anakin sees Obi-Wan emerge from the Naboo Skiff. Enraged, he uses the Force to choke Padme, thinking she led him there. She loses consciousness and Anakin releases his grip on her. Obi-Wan and Anakin break out into a ferocious, lengthy lightsaber duel.

In the Senate building, Yoda confronts Darth Sidious. They engage in a fast and furious battle using their Force abilities. The duel brings them to the deserted main area of the Senate chamber. Sidious hurls senate pods at Yoda, knocking him to the floor. With Bail Organa’s help, Yoda manages to escape.

The epic lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin brings them to many locations on Mustafar. Eventually, Obi-Wan gains the upper-hand and in the blink of an eye he cuts off both of Anakin’s legs at the knees, as well as Anakin’s left arm. Anakin tumbles down the embankment and rolls to the stop at the edge of the lava. His clothing blows into the lava and ignites. Anakin suddenly bursts into flames and screams.

Obi-Wan takes Anakin’s lightsaber (which he will give to Luke in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) and leaves with the badly-injured Padme and the droids on the Naboo Skiff.

Darth Sidious arrives at Mustafar with a battalion of Clone Stormtroopers. They rescue Anakin Skywalker from the edge of death.

Obi-Wan arrives at Polis Massa and Padme is brought to medical assistance. She is dying, but they work to save her babies—she has twins. A boy and a girl are born. In her dying breath, Padme gives them the names “Luke” and “Leia”.

Occurring simultaneously with the birth of his children, Anakin completes his transformation into Darth Vader. On Coruscant, Anakin is given new legs and a new arm. He is dressed in black armor, a face mask is sealed tightly, and his helmet is fitted. Darth Vader begins to breathe.

With Padme’s last breath, she says there is still good in Anakin. Padme Amidala dies.

Darth Vader regains consciousness. He asks what happened to Padme. Darth Sidious tells him "I'm afraid in your anger, you killed her." Vader unleashes a massive scream and unleashes his Force powers in a rage that distorts and destroys the room -- so powerful is this outburst that Darth Sidious actually must struggle to protect himself.

On the Tantive IV blockade runner, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Bail Organa sit at a conference table. They agree to keep the children safe and hidden. Luke and Leia would be split up in hopes that the Sith would not sense their presence. Leia will be adopted by Bail Organa. Luke would be sent to his family on Tatooine. Obi-Wan and Yoda will watch and wait until the time is ready for the Skywalker children to do their part. Yoda tells Obi-Wan to study the technique Qui-Gon learned to achieve immortality.

Critical Reaction

The film garnered mostly positive reviews, especially in comparison to the last two prequels. Many critics have noted that they view it to be the best of the prequels, and some critics have said the same that they said about earlier prequels.

• Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times recommends the movie because he claims it to be a successful entertainment, with its point being the visuals, imagination, and action. This is contrary to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, where Roger Ebert claimed the point of the movie to be the dialogue and love scenes, which were said to not be great.
• Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times hailed it as the best since Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
• A.O. Scott of the New York Times hailed it as even better than Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

While many critics noted George Lucas' continued weakness with dialogue, Hayden Christensen's depiction of a more mature Anakin Skywalker and his slow descent to the Dark Side was praised. Various critics have made note that they feel that actors did a better job in general; though they, like in earlier prequels, have been displeased with Natalie Portman's performance.

Selected plot elements

Political connotations

Since early viewings, many have stated that there is a critique of President George W. Bush in the film. Examples cited included Darth Vader's line to Obi-Wan Kenobi "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!", mirroring a quote Bush made about terrorism after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Kenobi's reply is an accusation that "Only the Sith deal in absolutes." President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, universities, and countries. ...

The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks carried out in the United States on September 11, 2001. ...

But in interviews, George Lucas said that Bush was no influence in writing the movie. Rather, he wrote the basic story outline in the 1970s during the Vietnam War, thinking of President Richard Nixon. [3]  (http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/05/20/build/nation/65-star-wars_v.inc) He stated at Cannes, "The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable." [4] (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/19/movies/19star.html) Lucas added that in more general terms, his story represents how any democracy can turn into a dictatorship with the consent of the people, like Caesar Augustus and Napoleon I of France. [5] (http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2005-05-15-cannes-lucas_x.htm), [6] (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/16/cannes.starwars/index.html) It could also be likened to how democratic freedom can be taken away using fear, much like Adolf Hitler. A line given to Senator Amidala upon Chancellor Palpatine's reorganization of the Republic as the First Galactic Empire reflects Lucas' observation: "So this is how liberty dies - with thunderous applause." The Vietnam War was a war fought roughly from 1957 to 1975 after the North Vietnamese government secretly agreed to begin involvement in South Vietnam. ... Order: 37th President Vice President: Spiro Agnew (1969–1973), Gerald R. Ford (1973–1974) Term of office: January 20, 1969 – August 9, 1974 Preceded by: Lyndon B. Johnson Succeeded by: Gerald R.

• Revenge of the Sith opens with a space battle between Republic and Confederacy navies, the first time in a Star Wars film since Episode IV.
• The first line spoken in Episode IV is "Did you hear that?" by C3P0 (Anthony Daniels), on Bail Organa's ship. The last line spoken in Episode III is "Oh no!", also by C3P0, played by the same actor, also on that ship.

Trivia

• This is the only Star Wars film to receive a PG-13 rating from the MPAA; all previously released films in the series were rated PG. Interestingly, A New Hope was originally rated G, but its rating was deliberately pushed up in order to attract a broader audience.
• Famous characters from the original trilogy that make their first chronological appearance in this movie include Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader. Scenes with Mon Mothma and Lorth Needa were deleted.
• In the scene where Darth Vader and the Emperor are looking out onto what looks like the unfinished first Death Star, Grand Moff Tarkin can be seen.
• Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Kenny Baker (R2-D2) are the only actors to appear in all six Star Wars films.
• Playwright Tom Stoppard reportedly did an uncredited re-write or dialogue polish on the script. Hayden Christensen confirmed this in an interview for Playboy magazine.
• Bai Ling filmed minor scenes for the film playing the role of a senator, but her role was cut during editing. She claimed that this was because she posed for the June 2005 issue of Playboy magazine, whose appearance on newstands coincided with the movie's May release, but George Lucas denied this, stating that the cut had been made more than a year earlier, and that he had cut out his own daughter's scenes as well.
• Grauman's Chinese Theatre a traditional venue for the Star Wars films is not showing it this year. However, a line of people have stood there for more than a month hoping to convince someone to change this. So far, this Star Wars Line has been unsuccessful.
• This is the only time you see two lightsabers of the same color (blue) battle (Anakin and Obi-Wan's). One could also consider the lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Grievous, the latter wielding green and blue lightsabers.
• In Episode VI, Princess Leia tells Luke that she remembers her "real" mother being sad when she was very young. In Episode III, Padmé dies almost immediately after childbirth, so either Leia is misremembering her "real" mother or as a force-sensitive, she remembers Padmé from the few seconds both were alive at the same time.
• Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and R2-D2 are the only characters to appear in all six Star Wars films.
• Hayden Christensen had to look through the mouth-piece of the Darth Vader costume, not the eyes.
