#STAR WARS EPISODE III SERIES#
As the chancellor’s wicked plot to destroy the Jedi order and rule the universe comes together piece by piece, Anakin steps beyond the point of no return into a series of dark choices that will rule his destiny. He vows that nothing will take his pregnant wife, Padmé, from him … a promise he can only fulfill with Palpatine’s help. Meanwhile, dark visions of his wife’s imminent death in childbirth haunt Anakin’s sleep. The Jedi leaders desperately need Skywalker’s eyes and ears, yet they deny him the coveted title of Jedi Master, fanning a smoldering spark of resentment in Anakin’s heart that Palpatine manipulates and exploits. Anakin’s loyalties are stretched to the breaking point when Palpatine appoints him to be his representative on the Jedi council-and the suspicious council responds by asking Anakin to spy on the chancellor. But retrieving Chancellor Palpatine (who will rise to become the emperor) from the clutches of the Separatist leaders General Grievous and Count Dooku will ultimately prove the bane of the Republic and the downfall of young Skywalker.Īs the Republic begins its final offensive against the Separatists, tension grows between an increasingly imperious Chancellor Palpatine and a Jedi council that rightly distrusts him. The final chapter of Anakin Skywalker’s tragic transformation into Darth Vader begins as he and Obi-Wan Kenobi rescue the kidnapped leader of the Galactic Republic. Twenty-eight years ago, George Lucas began transporting us to a galaxy far, far away. But how did Darth Vader become … Darth Vader? “Answer that question Revenge of the Sith does,” Yoda might say. Just the name of the most iconic villain in a generation recalls his ominous, metered breathing and his unmistakable voice.
