Plot
As
the Clone Wars rage on, the Galactic
Republic has suffered
major setbacks against the Separatists. Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobiinfiltrate
the flagship of Separatist commander General Grievous to rescue the abducted Chancellor Palpatine. However, they are
confronted by Count Dooku,
who engages the Jedi in a lightsaber duel. After Dooku knocks Obi-Wan
unconscious, he tempts Anakin to use his anger and embrace the dark side of the Force. In the ensuing
duel, Anakin single-handedly kills Dooku at Palpatine's urging. After a
skirmish with Grievous, who then flees, the Jedi crash-land the ship onCoruscant. There, Anakin
reunites with his wife, Padmé Amidala,
who reveals she is pregnant. However, Anakin begins to have disturbing
premonitions of Padmé dying in childbirth.
Palpatine places Anakin on the Jedi Council as his representative, but Anakin is
denied the rank of Jedi Master and ordered to secretly monitor the
Chancellor. Frustrated at being excluded from the Council, Anakin begins to
lose faith in the Jedi and becomes more attached to Palpatine, who tells him
about the dark side of the Force. On the planet Utapau, Obi-Wan engages and kills
Grievous. When Palpatine reveals himself as the Sith lord Darth Sidious,
Anakin reports his treachery to Jedi Master Mace Windu.
In the ensuing lightsaber duel, Windu subdues Sidious by deflecting his Force
Lightning back at him. Convinced by Palpatine's promises to save Padmé, Anakin
severs Windu's hand and Sidious kills Windu before appointing Anakin as his new
apprentice, dubbing him "Darth Vader". Sidious issues Order 66across
the galaxy to have the Clone Troopers turn on their Jedi Masters. He sends
Vader to the Jedi Temple to kill the Jedi, and then to the
volcanic planet Mustafar to kill the Separatist leaders hiding
there. Sidious addresses the Senate and reforms the Republic into a Galactic Empire, declaring himself
Emperor.
Obi-Wan and Jedi Master Yoda discover Anakin's treachery, and split
up to confront Vader and Sidious. Unable to convince Padmé of Anakin's turn to
the dark side, Obi-Wan stows away on her ship when she travels to Mustafar.
Padmé discovers the truth of Vader's misdeeds. Horrified, she tries to take
Vader back, but Vader uses the Force to choke Padmé into unconsciousness. Vader
engages Obi-Wan in a fierce duel, but Obi-Wan eventually disarms Vader over a
lava flow by severing his legs and left arm. Burning alive, Vader is left for
dead by Obi-Wan, who takes his former apprentice's lightsaber and goes to help
Padmé. Meanwhile, Yoda confronts the Emperor, but is forced to escape when
their duel reaches a stalemate.
In a medical facility on Polis Massa,
Padmé dies after giving birth to twins Luke and Leia. Meanwhile, the Emperor finds the
barely alive Vader on Mustafar. He is brought back to Coruscant and his body is
rebuilt with cybernetic limbs and a respirator, encased in
black armor and a mask. Tormented by the discovery of Padmé's death by his own
hands, Vader screams, the last vestige of humanity now driven from him. They
then begin overseeing the construction of the Death Star.
A funeral is held for Padmé, her body is dressed to continue the illusion of
pregnancy. Knowing the twins must remain hidden from the Empire, Senator Bail Organa adopts Leia and takes her to Alderaan, while Luke is to
be taken to his stepfamily on Tatooine. Organa allows C-3PO and R2-D2 to remain aboard the Tantive IV and has C-3PO's memory erased to
remove any knowledge of the twins. Yoda teaches Obi-Wan how to commune with the
spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn before going into exile on Dagobah. Obi-Wan takes the
infant Luke to Tatooine where he intends to watch over him until the time is
right to challenge the Empire.

becomes the evil Lord Darth Vader. While many assume that James Earl Jones is

Jones, when specifically asked if he had supplied the voice, either newly or
