SPEAKER_05 0:00

Nobody does it, Bennett. Yes, I've gone and said it. Movies and games, some things that are lame. Nobody does it, Bennett.

SPEAKER_09 0:18

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Nobody Does It Bennett Movie Review Podcast. I'm your host, Greg Bennett, and tonight I'm joined by Ross and Tensen as we go through the final film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. Ross? You are called in as the last minute host for episode 1, The Phantom Menace. This time you are ready and willing to go through Revenge of the Sith. I've actually watched it in preparation rather than last time. I actually watched it. I know the movie now. And you really you feel like now you can really give an in-depth look into the art and mastery that is Revenge of the Sith. All the dots, all the T's.

SPEAKER_16 1:01

I know exactly where it goes.

SPEAKER_09 1:02

And Tenzin, welcome back to the show. We've been through the Phantom Menace and Episode 2 Attack of the Clones. All roads have been leading to this though.

SPEAKER_12 1:12

Are you excited? I'm very excited. This is gonna be the best one, I feel. No, it's good to be back. I'm excited for this.

SPEAKER_09 1:18

You might say, Tenzin, this is where the fun begins. Here we go. Tonight we'll be running through the movie Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. It's hard to say Sith. Sith Sith. Sith. We'll run through the story beat by beat, offering our opinions along the way. We will also be acting out certain scenes with our own unique voices. If you hear any random bird noises as well, that's just the Budgie Boys, JB and Garfinkel. They like to have their say every now and then. After we've gone through the film, we'll give you our ratings for Star Wars, Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. Where will it land on the NDIB charts? Top five of the NDIB charts. Jurassic Park 1993 with a perfect 50 stars. That's in first equal.

SPEAKER_16 2:08

Oh yeah, I can't remember what the first equal is. I saw it the other day.

SPEAKER_09 2:11

The other what movie in first equal, Tenzin.

SPEAKER_12 2:14

Isn't it good fellas?

SPEAKER_09 2:15

It is good fellas from 1990. Perfect 50 stars, mainly because Ray Leota definitely looked like a 21-year-old. Spider-Man 2 from 2004 is in third place with 49 stars, the Sam Raimi classic. So many lines that I get from that movie now end up in other movie podcasts because why not? So good. Jumungy from 1995 got 47 and a half stars, mainly because Alice absolutely loves that film and gave everything five. But hey, I ain't arguing, Jumunji's a classic. Yep. And fifth, Titanic from 1997 with 47 stars. I won't give you the spoilers at the end. Right, so the previous two Star Wars films that we've covered are currently ranked at 25th equal at Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace. It's equal with MIB International. And 29th Equal is Star Wars Episode 2, Attack of the Clones. It's equal with Batman and Robin from 1997. That movie is bad, I won't get it wrong, but by god, I love it. Me too, yeah. So good.

SPEAKER_16 3:24

Why would I choose if I was given the choice of those two? I think I'd probably go clones.

SPEAKER_09 3:30

I don't know, it depends what you're in for, I guess. Depends on the movie. I think Clones is a better film, like even though they're equal. Yeah. But Batman and Robin has lots of lights, bright lights, cartoon, neon, wonderness, nipple suits, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The AC classic. Both of those got 33 and a half stars each, so not bad. Mortal Kombat Annihilation is still in last with a score of 15 and a half stars out of a possible 50 stars. Sacrilege. Awful movie. Have you seen it in the last 10 years? Yeah. My god, I did not realise until I watched it again just how bad that movie is. The title of the movie actually explains how bad they butchered that movie. First up though, we'll give you a brief intro into our experiences with Revenge of the Sith. What are your guys' initial thoughts about episode three? Any favourite moments from the film or just the film overview? Tenzin, what do you think about episode three Revenge of the Sith?

SPEAKER_12 4:27

I think Revenge of the Sith for me personally is my favourite of the prequels. I think it's the one that everyone waited for. The sort of Shakespearean tragedy of Anakin's Fall to the Dark Side. There's some very iconic moments. The duel at the end between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and yeah, it's just an iconic film. Very dark, probably the darkest of the Star Wars movies, but yeah, it's just an enjoyable film.

SPEAKER_09 4:56

You have done this yourself, Anakin. And Ross, what do you think about Revenge of the Assistant, especially watching it again recently? Oh, it hits different.

SPEAKER_16 5:04

When you think of the political downfall and the current situation that we have at the moment, you go, uh-huh. There are parallels. Yeah, there's just so many good things that just set up everything that happens in the original trilogy. There's just so many like if you didn't know that they were coming, you would actually kind of gasp and just get great lines.

SPEAKER_09 5:29

For me, Star Wars Episode 3 is an interesting film. It's stuck in a prequel trilogy that did not live up to the hype and legacy of the original trilogy. Yet. The prequel trilogy has some of Star Wars' most defining moments. When I think of Star Wars the prequel trilogy, Darth Maul coming out at the hangar, Jewel of Fates. In this movie, we're gonna see some iconic moments as well. Like you say, that final jewel was Obi-Wan and Anakin. Months they train for that. Absolute months. And then when you watch it, especially in a day and age when CGI is taking over so much, and yes, there's some CGI in this as well, but you can just tell that they're doing it. It's not sped up either. They learn to go that quick. It's insane. It's it sometimes looks like a dance because it's rehearsed so well, like when they did the spinny move, especially.

SPEAKER_12 6:17

I think it's also probably the one that's aged the best out of the three, even in terms of CG. Some of the CG still looks pretty good today.

SPEAKER_09 6:25

So it has some defining moments. Episode three especially has some incredible scenes, but yet it's not a complete triumph. Where will it score? Find out at the end of the show. Next, we'll run through the film Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. If you like what you hear and would like to listen or find out more about the shows, well, you can by going to the Nobody Does It Bennett Facebook page.

Ross and Tenzin, are you with me? Or are you against me? About starting our run through the film of Revenge of the Sith.

SPEAKER_16 7:12

Do we get a choice? I guess we have to go with you.

SPEAKER_09 7:14

Well, there's all right there. It might be locked, but you can find a way out. And there's a lightsaber in the way. Ladies and gentlemen, Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of a Sith.

SPEAKER_10 7:24

Nobody does it. Bet it do it.

SPEAKER_09 7:27

Movie begins with a black screen a long time ago and a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars! That's right. It's like, whoa! I didn't see it coming, even though I've seen it numerous times before. Episode three, Revenge of a Sith. War. The Republic is crumbling under the attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Derku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the Fiend destroyed leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic Capitol and kidnapped Chancer Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Synod. As a separatist droid army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Judo Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor. I'm gonna say this before we start. This is my favourite opening to any Star Wars film. The whole the attack on the Star Cruiser is incredible.

SPEAKER_12 8:21

Yeah, so good.

SPEAKER_09 8:22

It's like it gets you blood pumping straight away when you see it like oh, this is where the fun begins. Cut to a massive starship in space, just above the planet Coruscant. What a gorgeous shot. Two Republic fighters come zooming in towards the starship. Not X-Wings or TIE fighters, some other type of fighter. Not sure if you see them in any other Star Wars film. Anakin and Obi-Wan are piloting the fighters. Anakin now has sexy long hair and a scar over one of his eyes, while Obi-Wan trimmed the mullet and his beard makes him look more like Sir Alec Guinness from a New Hope. Less fake looking this time, Tencent. A deliberate decision by the makeup and production team, too, they wanted to make him look more like Sir Alec Guinness. These shots of the fighters gliding around is awesome. The gliders are soon thick in the battle with droid fighters. R2 beeps and chirps from his position on Anakin's fighter.

SPEAKER_12 9:11

Lock onto him, R2. Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead. The one crawling with Vulture Droids.

SPEAKER_09 9:19

Oh, I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy. The silver headsets they're wearing look interesting. Nothing like we use today. It would be funny though if they were wearing a steel series or turtle beach headset.

SPEAKER_16 9:31

They do look as if they're like they're going to take somebody's order.

SPEAKER_09 9:36

Vulture droids start flying off the big starship and towards the Republic fighters. Oddball, do you copy. Copy Red Leader. Perfect. That's Jake the Must in space. That's what we're looking for. Mark my position from your squad behind me. These shots of the fighters weaving around in battle are simply sensational. Hard to believe they are 20 years old now. The clone fighters line up behind Anakin and Obi-Wan fighters.

SPEAKER_12 10:01

This is where the fun begins.

SPEAKER_09 10:02

Ah, classic line. Let them pass between us. The Republic fighters meet the droid fighters head on. They're all over me. Get them off me. The transmission from Odbull is cut off.

SPEAKER_12 10:13

I'm gonna go help them out.

SPEAKER_09 10:14

No, they're doing their job so we can do ours. Oddbull gets blown out of the space sky.

SPEAKER_16 10:20

Yeah, and you see him float away. It's like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_09 10:23

Even though that seems harsh and cruel from Obi-Wan, it's like that's what war is, unfortunately. You can't stop and save one person. No. A fighter fires missiles at Anakin and Obi-Wan. They pull up to avoid them. They've overshot us. They're coming around. R4 beeps. R4 is Obi-Wan's fighter droid. Alright, R4. No, no, no, no, nothing too fancy.

SPEAKER_12 10:43

Sergio power units, R2. Standby reverse thrusters.

SPEAKER_09 10:47

Anakin starts spinning. That's a good trick. The missiles chasing Anakin blow up in the spin. We got him, R2. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan continues to get harassed by missiles. Flying is for droids. Oh wow. Okay, Obi-Wan. Too good for flying, are we? Obi-Wan's fighter gets attacked by multiple buzz droids that attach to his fighter and start attacking it. I'm hit, Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 11:10

I see him. Buzz droids of Star Command.

SPEAKER_09 11:15

Buzz droids are little droids who have robo boobs for their head. Have you ever seen Little Nikki? It reminds me of when the guy gets boobs for head. So true. R4 gets his head ripped off by a buzz droid. Oh dear. They're shutting down all the controls.

SPEAKER_12 11:30

Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them.

SPEAKER_09 11:33

The mission! Get to the command ship. Get to the Chancellor. I'm running out of tricks here. Anakin starts shooting the Buzz Droids off Obi-Wan's ship, causing a wee bit of damage to the ship as he goes. Oh, in the name of Jesus, Obi-Wan, which people have mistaken you for in some hilarious memes. Hold your fire. You're not helping here.

SPEAKER_12 11:52

I agree. Bad idea.

SPEAKER_09 11:53

I can't see a thing, my cock. Pit's fogging. They're all over me like sand, Anakin. Move to the right. Hold on, Anakin. You're gonna get us both killed. Get out of here. There's nothing more you can do. I'm not leaving without you, master. It's interesting that Anakin's fighter is yellow here, just like the Thunderbird like Naboo fighter he piloted in the Phantom Menace. And the yellow speeder, Anakin chooses to chase Obi-Wan with through Corusant. So yellow seems to be Anakin's colour. Anakin parks up next to Obi-Wan. Some Buzz Droids jump onto Anakin's fighter, so Artu starts blasting with a wee zapper. So anyways, I start blasting.

SPEAKER_12 12:33

Get him, R2.

SPEAKER_09 12:35

Artu, hit the Buzz Droid's centre eye. Artu zaps the Buzz Droid in the center eye. The Buzz Droid has a shocking experience, then falls off the fighter.

SPEAKER_12 12:44

Yeah, you got him.

SPEAKER_09 12:45

Great Artu.

SPEAKER_12 12:46

The general's command ship is dead ahead.

SPEAKER_09 12:49

Well, have you noticed the shields are still up?

SPEAKER_12 12:52

Sorry, master.

SPEAKER_09 12:52

Obi-wan is always yelling at Anakin. Makes you just want to turn to the dark side, am I right?

SPEAKER_12 12:57

As we will see.

SPEAKER_09 12:58

All bosses do that. Always yell. Never happy? Never happy. Anakin does a wee flip in his fighter and shoots the control panel on the side of the large starship, knocking down the shield barrier to the dock of the ship. Mechanical doors start closing from the sides of a dock entrance. Oh, I have a bad feeling about this. Anakin and Obi-Wan manage to crash land into the loading dock of a large starship before the doors close. Obi-Wan pops out of his fighter and takes down some droid soldiers. The Roger Rogers, if you will. Roger Roger. Anakin takes his time but then attacks some droids of R2. This scene with Anakin and Obi-Wan taking down droids looks way better than the opening of Phantom Menace of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. More fluent and skillful with their sabres. Anakin and Obi-Wan go back to back when battling because it looks cooler. Bad boys. R2. Locate the Emperor. I mean, the Chancellor. R2 chirps. Then rolls off to locate a nearby control panel. R2 brings up some schematics of the starship. The Chancellor's signal was coming from right there. The observation platform at the top of that spire.

SPEAKER_12 14:01

I sense Kandoku.

SPEAKER_09 14:03

I sent a trap.

SPEAKER_12 14:04

Next move?

SPEAKER_09 14:05

Spring the trap. R2 whistles.

SPEAKER_12 14:07

R2, go back. I need you to stay with the ship.

SPEAKER_09 14:10

Here. Take this and wait for orders. Obi-Wan throws R2 a Star Trek communicator. Waiting for R2 has received a communicator to show up on a screen like an RPG game. R2 with his little selfie stick arm holding a communicator is a hilarious shot. Got his little selfie stick arm. Cut to General Grievous marching into the Starship Bridge with his guards behind him. Coughing and spluttering as he goes. What are you guys' thoughts on General Grievous as a character?

SPEAKER_12 14:39

He's pretty badass, to be honest. I feel like he was very underused in the live action films. But I haven't seen the Clone Wars, but I think he gets a lot more of an arc in the Clone Wars compared to in the live actions. His design and everything is just so cool.

SPEAKER_16 14:56

It's interesting too, like how they voice him. They kind of make him look a bit weak, but then it turns out that he's actually kick-ass and yeah, this weird juxtaposition.

SPEAKER_09 15:06

Yeah, it's strange because, like you say, in the Clone Wars series, he's pretty much right through the whole thing. Yeah, he is. Anakin never actually meets him because he meets him for the first time in this. So they wanted to keep that. So you notice that Grievous and Anakin always somehow never meet. I like him as a draft to Darth Vader. He's part alien, part robot. And he has the confidence spluttering kind of kind of a lead up to what Vader has of his breathing. He's more like a teamu version of Vader. He hasn't got the Jedi skills that Vader has. He doesn't have the technology that Vader has too. That's why he's always confident spluttering because he's pretty much fighting his body. What's the situation, Captain? Oh, that's so good. That was great.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

Yeah, that was really good.

SPEAKER_09 15:46

I'll be the trade fair guy because I haven't been a trade federation guy yet. The two Jedi have landed in the main hunger by. We've trackered them. Cut to Anakin and Obi-Wan waiting by a space elevator.

SPEAKER_12 16:00

Destroyers.

SPEAKER_09 16:01

Destroyers. Really? Destroy one oppressed. Destroyers. Destroyers. Dredicars or destroyers are what the Republic called them. Come rolling in. You see them rolling. They fire the goose lasers. Go, go, go, go, go! Anakin and Obi Wan with their shields up. Anakin and Obi Wan deflect their blasts as the space elevator doors open. The two Jedi managed to safely evade the blasts. The space elevator doors close.

SPEAKER_13 16:27

Drop your weapons. I said drop 'em.

SPEAKER_09 16:29

Whoops. Anakin and Obi-Wan didn't notice the droid soldiers behind them in the elevator. Very similar to Captain Rogers and the Marble Widow Soldier. All the droids say Roger to one another. Obi-Wan and Anakin just start to rip through them with their lightsabers. Easy work for two Jedi. Cut back to Arto in the hangar bay. Artu hilariously waddles backwards like a small child when he sees two of these big droids with mounted laser arms coming in. Artu hides. Those are Jedi fighters, alright. Cut to Anakin and Obi-Wan heading up the space elevator when the space elevator violently stops. Did you press the stop button?

SPEAKER_12 17:06

No, did you?

SPEAKER_09 17:07

Why would Obi-Wan ask if you pressed the stop button?

SPEAKER_16 17:10

So true.

SPEAKER_09 17:12

I am watching your hand. It did not move. Well, there's more than one way out of here. Anakin ignites his lightsaber and starts cutting a hole in the ceiling of the space elevator. We don't want to get out. We want to get moving. R2, activate elevator 31174. The echo from R2's communicator can be heard around the hangar bay. I love how R2 tries to muffle the sound by shoving the communicator in his chest place. R2! Basically amplifiers. The B2 silver droids get alerted by the noise. What's that? R2, do you copy? IB1 continues to talk while poor R2 huddles more and more into the corner. Get back to work. That's nothing. Anakin gets through the ceiling and Jedi leaps on top of the space elevator.

SPEAKER_12 17:56

Always on Oh. Mind blank.

SPEAKER_09 18:01

Trying to steal my lines. Sorry. You will have none. Always on the move. R2 races over to a control panel in the hangar bay while Obi-Wan can be heard still muffled in R2's chest. R2, do you read me? This is Obi-Wan Kinheavy. Do you have me? A2. R2 then pulls out the communicator and activates the space elevator for Obi-Wan. Except the space elevator starts to drop. Anakin has to leap and grab onto a ledge, while Obi-Wan plunges in the space elevator. Stop! Stop, R2! We need to be going up! The door above the ledge Anakin is holding on to opens. Some droids come to inspect the situation.

SPEAKER_13 18:39

Hands up, Jedi.

SPEAKER_09 18:41

The B2 Silver Droids can hear Obi-Wan on R2's communicator again. R2 stops the space elevator. The B2 Silver Droids stop R2 at the control panel. Hey, you! R2 gets Obi-Wan's space elevator to start going up. Now, that's better. The B2 Silver Droids get closer to R2. You stupid little astro droid. One of the B2 Silver Droids picks up R2. As the space elevator goes up, Anakin releases his grip to catch a ride. Anakin leaps back inside the space elevator. Obi-Wan gets startled by Anakin jumping back in and ignites his lightsaber. Oh, it's you. Who else would it be? Droids? R2, still being held by the B2 Silver Droid, squirts droid fluid at it, causing both B2 Silver Droids to get covered, as well as start to slip around. Whoa, it's a cartoon all of a sudden. Anakin and Obi-Wan continue to banter in the space elevator. Anakin says, no loose wire jokes about R2. B2 Silver Droid then loses its grip on R2. When it does, R2 ignites his jet thrusters, which ignites the droid fluid, burning the B2 Silver Droids. Such a badass moment from R2. I love it. It's like the most badass moment from R2 in any Star Wars film.

SPEAKER_16 19:53

And the beginning of his arsenic stark.

SPEAKER_09 19:56

But he loses the rocket thrusters in later movies. True. Well, I'd say later, but earlier. Later, earlier movies. Yeah. Obi-Wan and Anakin exit the space elevator. They come to a large room of windows. A chair spins around to reveal Chancellor Palpatine in space handcuffs. I'm guessing this scene is meant to mirror the Empress room on the Death Star and Return of the Jedi. Very similar and very similar window. It's very resemblant. Chancellor Palpatine is tied to a chair with glowing, pulsating chair armed space cuffs. Anakin and Obi-Wan go up to the bound Chancellor. Chancellor.

SPEAKER_12 20:31

Are you alright, Count Dooku?

SPEAKER_09 20:34

This is a Count Dooku. Anakin and Obi-Wan turn around to see Count Dooku enter the room with a couple of B2 super battle droids, or what I like to call the big droids with arm guns. This time we'll do it together.

SPEAKER_12 20:46

I was about to say that.

SPEAKER_09 20:48

A reference to the end of Attack of the Clones. Dooku, CGI front flips down. Doesn't look great. No, that was actually Christopher Lee.

SPEAKER_12 20:58

That would be impressive. Yeah. Man of his age and all.

SPEAKER_09 21:01

Yeah. It was really him, but no one would believe it, so they had to make it look more CGI. Dooku is awfully spry for an old guy. Palpatine offers some encouraging words to Anakin and Obi-Wan.

SPEAKER_12 21:11

Get help. You know much for him. He's a Sith Lord.

SPEAKER_09 21:14

Obi-Wan turns to old Palps. Chancellor Palpatine. Sith Lords are our specialty. You've defeated one Sith, Obi-Wan. Try not to get too cocky, kid.

SPEAKER_12 21:24

Your swords, please. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.

SPEAKER_09 21:30

You won't get away this time, Dooku. Obi-Wan whips out his blue lightsaber. Anakin follows suit. Dooku ignites his red saber. Dooku duels Anakin and Obi-Wan. Some slick saber action here. Very nice looking. Very classy kind of uh doing here.

SPEAKER_12 21:46

Yeah, lover. I've been looking forward to the scandal. My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count. Probably from spin-off animated shows. That we were both in. Yet have to mention for people who only watch the films. Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

SPEAKER_09 22:10

Back to some glorious saber wom womb wom woms. Palpatine looks worried. Or maybe just needs to piss. Dooku does some force pushing and pushes Obi-Wan to the ground and knocks him out for some reason. It's pretty weak there, Obi-Wan. It's just like Anakin and Dooku continue to jaw up the stairs. Talk about stepping up the action. Obi-Wan gets back up, remembering there was no reason to be knocked out and rejoins the Jewel. Obi-Wan takes out the battle droids that I completely forgot were there. Palpatine lets out a random word. Git. It's weird and unimportant, so I added it.

SPEAKER_10 22:46

Get. Yeah, do it.

SPEAKER_09 22:48

Obi-Wan goes back after Dooku. Dooku does this force grab push kick combo and force kicks Anakin back from behind while force grabbing Obi-Wan by the throat. Dooku just throws Obi-Wan away like he's nothing but a piece of space trash. Obi-Wan smacks into the railing and falls to the ground. Knocked out for reels this time. Is Dooku actually that powerful? Or do you think Palpatine was actually force assisting Dooku to get Obi-Wan out of the way?

SPEAKER_12 23:15

That's a good point, actually.

SPEAKER_16 23:16

Ooh, hadn't thought about that.

SPEAKER_09 23:18

Probably. He's just sitting there doing nothing. Dooku throws some space floor down on Obi-Wan, taking him out of the fight for now. Anakin gets back up and kicks Dooku down the bottom part of the room. The duel continues, but now Anakin is faster and more aggressive with his dueling.

SPEAKER_12 23:34

Leaning into the dark side of it here, I think.

SPEAKER_09 23:36

Making him more angry because he knocked out Obi-Wan. Dooku and Anakin lock up with their sabres.

SPEAKER_12 23:40

I it's great fear in you, Skywalker. You have hit. You have anger.

SPEAKER_09 23:45

The sabres are making that screechy balloon type sound.

SPEAKER_12 23:48

But you don't use them.

SPEAKER_09 23:50

They unlock and restart the jewel. Anakin's dueling style is quite interesting. He has long, powerful, straight strikes mixed in with these very wristy flurries. And you'll notice that later on too against uh Obi-Wan. He does very wristy, kind of very fast kind of moves. It's like it's part of his style.

SPEAKER_12 24:05

Pretty unique.

SPEAKER_09 24:06

He can be fast and he can be powerful. That's scary. That's why Vader's so scary as well, because he can do both. Anakin gets the upper hand by removing both of Dooku's with his lightsaber. Give Dooku a hand for a great duel.

SPEAKER_12 24:18

Nice.

SPEAKER_09 24:19

Anakin catches Dooku's saber in the air and uses both his own and Dooku's sabre to crisscross Applesauce the sabres over Dooku's throat. Good Anakin. Good. Kill him. Dooku looks shocked towards Palpatine. Kill him now. Dooku looks up at a confused Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 24:39

I shouldn't do it.

SPEAKER_09 24:41

Perfect. Anakin relieves Dooku of his head. A pretty brutal way to start in Star Wars standards. Anakin turns off the sabers, still unsure if he made the right call.

SPEAKER_12 24:52

You did well, Anakin. He was too dangerous to be kept alive.

SPEAKER_09 24:58

Remember those words later on, because that's exactly what Windu says about Palpatine.

SPEAKER_12 25:03

Hmm, very true. Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner.

SPEAKER_09 25:06

I mean literally. Unarmed. And I can freeze Palpatine from the space cuffs.

SPEAKER_12 25:12

I shouldn't have done that, it's not the Jedi way. It is only natural. He cut off your arm and you wanted revenge.

SPEAKER_09 25:20

Very much the politician, helping create a reason for certain actions. Here's why he did this, and why it was a valid response that you did what you did.

SPEAKER_12 25:28

Adds to his manipulation as well.

SPEAKER_09 25:30

That's what these movies do incredibly well. And McDermott is palpitating Sidious, is I think the best character and the best acting right through the whole entire trilogy because he's just so manipulative, but it's believable, it's not cartoonish and evil. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 25:46

He makes some good points. The writing's kind of the best for him, eh?

SPEAKER_12 25:49

Yeah. And he works with it so well. Yeah. It wasn't the first time, Anakin. Remember what you told me about your mother and the sand people.

SPEAKER_09 25:58

You can hear sand people noises as Vietnam type flashbacks. Reminds me of when Gary can hear the gorilla sounds in Team America World Police.

SPEAKER_04 26:09

No, Gary!

SPEAKER_12 26:13

Now we must leave before more security droids arrive.

SPEAKER_09 26:17

Anakin and Palpatine start making their way back towards the door. Anakin runs over to Obi-Wan, who is still trapped and unconscious under some space floor.

SPEAKER_12 26:26

Anakin, there's no time. We must get off the ship before it's too late.

SPEAKER_09 26:30

Anakin manages to free Obi-Wan.

SPEAKER_12 26:33

He seems to be alright. Leave him or we'll never make it. His fate will be the same as ours. Nice. Another good line that one. Foreshadowing.

SPEAKER_09 26:41

The bond between Anakin and Obi-Wan is so strong that he won't leave him. Yet it gets to the point where it deteriorates so much that they're trying to kill each other. It's crazy. Cut to the space battle, still going on outside. It cuts to the control room where a robot and a cape starts barking orders. Prepare for attack! The ship starts firing on the surrounding clone army ships that are firing on the main ship. Cut to Anakin, fireman carrying a knocked out Obi-Wan with Palpatine beside him.

SPEAKER_12 27:09

Elevator's not working. R2. Activate elevator 3224.

SPEAKER_09 27:14

R2 receives a message and races off somewhere. The ship starts to tilt due to the damage from the ongoing attacks. R2 slides down the tilting side. Anakin and Palpatine hang on to the elevator or the space elevator entrance to avoid falling down. Well R2 just goes with the flow.

unknown 27:30

Whee!

SPEAKER_16 27:31

I have a question about the elevators. Yep. They immediately know the numbers. Yeah. Do they just have them like on a little beside the button? It's like this is elevator 3224.

SPEAKER_09 27:42

I'm guessing there might be a little sign like elevator that says you can only have 30 men in this elevator 3224.

SPEAKER_16 27:49

But there's never like ah to activate. Oh, where is it? Where is it? Oh, it's no, it's not there. Oh, somebody's covered it up this time. Damn it.

SPEAKER_09 27:56

It's not the second one, it's the third one over that looks kind of bluish and greyish. That's the one I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_16 28:03

We came through and then if you go left and then no, not that left. That yeah, that one.

SPEAKER_09 28:09

Anakin and Palpatine run along the now sideways ship. R2. It's just sliding.

SPEAKER_03 28:14

Fire the emergency booster images.

SPEAKER_09 28:17

The ship tilts again, causing Anakin and Palps to start sliding. Anakin manages to grab onto a really strong space cable, which stops him from free-falling. Anakin still has Obi-Wan on his shoulders as well as Palpatine hanging onto his legs. Anakin must be using his robo arm. Obi-Wan wakes up, freaking out as he's looking down the ship and probably thinks he's falling. Easy, we're in a bit of a situation here. Did I miss something? Hold on. What is that? Uh oops. An elevator is coming down towards them as the ship is the right way up again now. R2, R2, shut down the elevator. Too late! Jump! The two Jedi and Palps start falling rather than jumping. Obi-Wan and Anakin use their Batman grappling ropes that they have for some reason. They swing through to an elevated exit and onto the floor while the elevator drops by narrowly missing them. They start making their way to the hangar to find a flyable ship. Anakin calls R2 to him. R2 emerges from a pile of droid parts like a submarine that he fell into when the ship was tilting. Cut to the control room. The caped robot is breathing heavily.

SPEAKER_13 29:23

General, we have found the Jedi. They're in hallway 328.

SPEAKER_09 29:30

Cut to any Obi and Palps running down a hallway when they are brought to a halt by some ray shields. Wait a minute. How did this happen? We're smarter than this. Apparently not.

SPEAKER_12 29:43

I say patience.

SPEAKER_09 29:44

Patience?

SPEAKER_12 29:45

Yes. R2 will be along in a few moments, and then he'll release the ray shields.

SPEAKER_09 29:50

R2 comes screaming into the hallway, then crashes into a wall.

SPEAKER_12 29:54

See? No problem.

SPEAKER_09 29:55

Two droidicars then roll in, then some battle droids and normal droids surround R2. R2 zaps one of the battle droids on its hand, so the battle droid kicks R2 down. Do you have a plan B?

SPEAKER_16 30:06

It's like R2 is like a little chihuahua. It just like he won't give up.

SPEAKER_09 30:10

Just annoying. I like how he zaps the hands like, ah, and the B2 droid just shakes his hand, like, oh he like kicks him. Cut to the control room of the ship. Anakin and Obi-Wan are brought in to meet the caped robot.

SPEAKER_03 30:22

Oh yes! The negotiator general Kenobi. We have been waiting for you. It wasn't much of a rescue.

SPEAKER_16 30:35

I love that. This is like the best way to voice act.

SPEAKER_12 30:38

Yeah, it's perfect.

SPEAKER_09 30:40

A droid hands the caped robot, Anakin, and Obi-Wan's lightsabers, but not Dooku's. Did Anakin drop it earlier? I never noticed that.

SPEAKER_03 30:47

And Anakin's girl. I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little older.

SPEAKER_12 31:03

The exaggeration's perfect.

SPEAKER_16 31:05

If you put wheezes in there, you're gonna get like go all out.

SPEAKER_12 31:10

General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected.

SPEAKER_09 31:14

General Grievous, a new character introduced to the movies here, but does play a big part in the Clone Wars animated series. Although Grievous and Anakin never met in the Clone Wars, as Dave Falone, the creator of Clone Wars, wanted to maintain continuity from the scene to be their formal introduction. We have a job to do, Anakin. Try not to upset him.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

Your light savers will make a fine addition to my collection.

SPEAKER_09 31:41

Not this time, and this time you won't escape. That's pretty much what Obi-Wan said to Dooku. Must be ripped straight from the Jedi handbook. R2. R2 starts to have all his electronics go haywire to cause a distraction. Very similar to Return of the Jedi with Luke Skywalker. So Obi-Wan can force grab his lightsaber off Grievous and free himself from his space restraints. Anakin then force grabs his saber too once Obi-Wan frees him. Anakin and Obi-Wan fight two of General Grievous' bodyguards. A type of dueling droid called the IG-100 Magna Guard.

SPEAKER_16 32:14

Catchy.

SPEAKER_09 32:14

I just called the Magna Guards after this. Their purple energy staffs look pretty cool and can actually stand up to lightsaber damage. Two droids remove Palpatine from the room, while the two Jedi battle the Magna Guards. The other droids are ordered to stay at their stations by Grievous. Obi-Wan takes one of the Magna Guard's heads off, but the Magna Guard keeps on fighting? Very strange. Anakin finishes off his Magna Guard and runs to free Palpatine. Obi-Wan finally finishes off his Magna Guard.

SPEAKER_12 32:41

It's very interesting that Palpatine like acts all weak and defenseless when he can probably wipe out most of the people in that room.

SPEAKER_09 32:49

Easily too. He just used force lightning.

SPEAKER_12 32:51

He's just observing. Pretty much it's like adding to the whole manipulation.

SPEAKER_09 32:55

To perceive that he has no power. He's a politician. He's not someone who can fight. Defenseless weak old. So Obi-Wan finally finishes off his Magna Guard. General Grievous talks to his droid workers.

SPEAKER_03 33:08

Don't worry about them. Keep the ship in order.

SPEAKER_09 33:11

Grievous prepares to fight. Obi-Wan is in front, and Anakin behind. There is nowhere for Grievous to go.

SPEAKER_03 33:17

You lose, General Gnobi!

SPEAKER_09 33:20

Grievous grabs the purple energy Magna Guard staff and throws it at the control room front window. It pierces the glass and causes cabin pressure problems. The glass shatters and Grievous is sent outside into space. He uses a Batman grappling hook to grab onto the outside of the ship. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine are struggling to hang on inside the ship. Some blast doors eventually close the opening caused by the shattered window. Grievous gets back into the ship via a different access point. Anakin and Obi-Wan take down the worker droids that are still in the control room. Grievous laughs. Ha ha ha ha ha! Tie into abandoned ship! Grievous releases all the escape pods into space. Himself and one of them.

SPEAKER_12 34:01

All the escape pods have been launched.

SPEAKER_09 34:03

Grievous, can you fly a cruiser like this?

SPEAKER_12 34:05

You mean do I know how to land what's left of this thing?

SPEAKER_09 34:09

Well?

SPEAKER_12 34:09

Well, under the circumstances I'd say the ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant. Strep yourselves in.

SPEAKER_09 34:15

Anakin gets all hatches and dry fins to open. The ship then breaks apart in the middle. Reminds me of another movie we've covered Tenzin, where a ship splits in two. Very true. Speed.

SPEAKER_01 34:27

I'm not seeing actual words here. Avoiding copyright law.

SPEAKER_12 34:33

We lost something.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

Not to worry.

SPEAKER_09 34:35

We are still fine half a ship. As the half cruiser hits the planet atmosphere, it starts to heat up and pick up speed. There you go, speed Ross. You mentioned speed just before. There you go. Speed. As the ship is landing, fire ships come in spraying little fire hoses at the burning cruiser. The cruiser crash lands, taking out a tower as it slides. The shop with the cruiser sliding towards the camera, then zooming into the control room window is really cool. Yeah, the CGI is not perfect, but it looks really cool. Yeah. Another happy landing. Obi-Wan's like real light at the start of this. Last sense of humor is like, well, I guess. Gradually fades. It becomes tragic, yeah. Cut to Anakin, Palpatine, and Obi-Wan catching a space Uber to the Senate halls. They're greeted by many people and aliens when they land. Not like a stadium amount of people, more like a wrestling indie show type of crowd. Obi-Wan stays standing at the space uber door, while Palpatine and Anakin get off.

SPEAKER_12 35:33

Are you coming, Master? Oh no.

SPEAKER_09 35:36

I'm not brave enough for politics. I have to report to the council. Besides, someone needs to be the poster boy.

SPEAKER_12 35:42

Hold on, this whole operation was your idea.

SPEAKER_09 35:44

Let us not forget, Anakin, that you rescued me from the Buzz Droids, and you killed Count Dooku in a noble and not at all evil way. And you rescued the Chancellor carrying me unconscious on your back. The literal carrying the team on your back.

SPEAKER_12 35:59

All because of your training.

SPEAKER_09 36:00

Anakin, let's be fair. Today you were the hero, and you deserve your glorious day with the politicians.

SPEAKER_12 36:06

Alright, but you owe me one, and not for saving your skin for the tenth time.

SPEAKER_09 36:10

Ninth time. That business on Kajunomodia doesn't uh doesn't count. I'll see you at the briefing. Whoa! Whoa, Golf Uncle. Obi-Wan takes off in the space Uber as Anakin and Artu walk into the Senate building. I like the banter between Anakin and Obi-Wan here. If you only watch the movies, you don't really get many scenes that show their brotherhood. You get the feeling that Obi-Wan Anakin love each other and are brothers pretty much. Later on, it hits hard when everything happens. Need a bit of ribbing. But I guess if you watch the animated Clone Wars, you'd see more of this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 36:45

See heaps more.

SPEAKER_09 36:46

Palpatine walks up to Jedi Master, Mace Window. Chancellor Palpatine. Are you alright?

SPEAKER_12 36:51

Yes. Thanks to your two Jedi Knights.

SPEAKER_09 36:54

No love for Arto?

SPEAKER_16 36:56

Alright.

SPEAKER_12 36:56

They killed Count Duku, but General Grievous has escaped once again.

SPEAKER_16 37:01

General Grievous will run and hide as he always does. He's a coward.

SPEAKER_09 37:06

Windu is staring at Palpatine with some serious suspicion though.

SPEAKER_12 37:10

But with Count Ducku dead, he is the leader of the droid army. And I assure you the Senate will vote to continue the war as long as Grievous is alive.

SPEAKER_09 37:20

Palpatine really puts an emphasis on stating how Dooku is dead and how Grievous needs to die. Not a thing about capturing them would give me windu eyes too. Then the Jedi Council will make finding Grievous our highest priority.

SPEAKER_16 37:33

The crowd all start to walk inside. The Republic cannot praise you enough.

SPEAKER_12 37:38

Thank you, Senator Argana.

SPEAKER_16 37:40

Speaking of praise, did you know I used to be a detective in MYPD Blue?

SPEAKER_12 37:44

Really?

SPEAKER_16 37:44

Yeah, I also played a president on the West Wing and had a stint on Son Devanarchy.

SPEAKER_09 37:49

Ah to a C3PO talking about the last mission too. I love Jimmy Smith, alright? Jimmy Smith's the man, and he doesn't get enough time in these movies. Like he gets a bit more on episode three here. More Smits, please. You're smitten with the Smiths. I'm smitten, yeah, that's right. I like that.

SPEAKER_12 38:03

Well, it could it possibly be as bad as all that. But the fighting will continue until General Grievous' spare parts.

SPEAKER_09 38:11

Well, I'll do everything I can in the Senate. You can see Padme stalking the group from afar.

SPEAKER_12 38:17

Excuse me.

SPEAKER_09 38:18

Anakin walks away to see Padamay. Anakin hugs Padamay.

SPEAKER_12 38:22

Ew! Anakin! I missed you, Padme.

SPEAKER_16 38:24

There were whispers that you've been killed.

SPEAKER_12 38:27

I'm alright. It feels like we've been apart for a lifetime, and it might have been if the Chancellor hadn't been kidnapped. I don't think they would have ever brought us back from the outer rim sieges.

SPEAKER_16 38:37

I'll show you some outer rim sieges.

SPEAKER_09 38:42

Got him! Anakin goes to kiss Padme. Wait. Not here.

SPEAKER_12 38:47

Yes, here.

SPEAKER_09 38:48

I got horny.

SPEAKER_12 38:50

I'm tired of all this deception. I don't care if they know we're married.

SPEAKER_16 38:54

Anakin! Don't say that. Otherwise they'll do horrible things. Like make you watch Morbius.

SPEAKER_12 39:00

What's the time? Morbin time. Morbin. Are you alright? You're you're trembling. What's going on?

SPEAKER_09 39:07

Something wonderful has happened. Two for one, Big Max, maybe? Annie. I'm pregnant. So no Big Max. Cheeseburgers. That's that's that's Anakin looks deep into Patame's eyes.

SPEAKER_12 39:22

Well that's that's wonderful.

SPEAKER_09 39:25

Very convincing. What are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_12 39:27

We're not gonna worry about anything right now, alright? This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life.

SPEAKER_09 39:33

Okay, so seriously, there is no two for one Big Max. Let's make sure. Nada. Anakin and Patame smooch. Cut to a shuttle arriving on a planet. The planet looks to be more a green Earth, or perhaps a green marble. The ship flies into a deep hole on the planet. When the ship lands in front of a droid platoon, the doors open and General Grievous walks out. Doesn't even have the patience to wait for the ship path to fully extend before walking out. As he's walking before the path even finishes coming out, he's just so impatient. General Grievous walks up into a comms room and gets Darfsidious on the space phone.

SPEAKER_12 40:12

General Grievous. I suggest you move the separatist leaders to Mustafar.

SPEAKER_09 40:19

More on Mustafar later.

SPEAKER_12 40:23

The end of the war is near the General.

SPEAKER_03 40:27

But the loss of Count Dogu?

SPEAKER_12 40:29

His death was a necessary loss. Soon I will have a new apprentice. One far younger and more powerful.

SPEAKER_16 40:41

I love that line. And more beautiful.

SPEAKER_09 40:44

Long sixy hair. Cut back to Coruscant. Anakin and Padame are talking at the balcony of Patame's apartment. Patame says she wants to have a baby on the bow. She can even think of a spot by the gardens. Anakin goes on about how beautiful Patame is. Let's skip the lovey dovey talk this time, Tenzin. Cut to Anakin having nightmares about Paname dying. Anakin gets out of bed and walks off, which wakes Padame up. Anakin sits on a pillar in an outside garden. Don't want to try and guess how much an apartment like this in Coronston would cost? Some serious space books. Patame joins Anakin in the garden.

SPEAKER_15 41:18

What's bothering you?

SPEAKER_09 41:19

Anakin looks at Padame's necklace. It's the bone carving looking thing that Anakin gave her in episode one, The Phantom Menace.

SPEAKER_12 41:27

I remember when I gave this to you.

SPEAKER_16 41:28

How long is it going to take for us to be honest with each other?

SPEAKER_12 41:32

At least one more day. It was a dream. Bad? No. Michael Jackson wasn't dancing at an empty subway station in this one. Like the ones I used to have about my mother just before she died. And it was about you.

SPEAKER_14 41:49

Tell me.

SPEAKER_12 41:50

It was only a dream. You die in childbirth.

SPEAKER_16 41:53

And the baby?

SPEAKER_12 41:54

I don't know.

SPEAKER_16 41:56

It was only a dream.

SPEAKER_09 41:58

Yeah, that happened exactly like a premonition last time, Padame. Jeez! I won't let this one become real.

SPEAKER_16 42:04

This baby will change our lives. I doubt the Queen will continue to allow me to serve in the Senate.

SPEAKER_09 42:10

Probably not. Otherwise, when the Queen called Padame, all she'll hear is Radio Gaga. Radio Gugu. Radio Gaga.

SPEAKER_16 42:19

And if the council discovers you're the father, you'll be expelled.

SPEAKER_12 42:23

I know.

SPEAKER_16 42:24

Do you think Obi-Wan might be able to help us?

SPEAKER_12 42:26

We don't need his help. Our baby is a blessing.

SPEAKER_09 42:30

Cut to the Jedi Temple in the daytime. Anakin is in a private room of Yoda. Yoda is sitting in one of those cushioned circular seats that you often see in hotel lobbies and movies. Anakin is seated also. I don't know why they don't just turn on some lights. It's very dark. Premonitions?

SPEAKER_08 42:48

Hmm.

SPEAKER_09 42:49

Premonition These visions you have.

SPEAKER_12 42:54

They're of pain. Suffering. Death.

SPEAKER_09 42:58

Yourself you speak of. Or someone you know? Someone close to you.

SPEAKER_12 43:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_09 43:05

Well, maybe you're not supposed to be Spider-Man. Climbing those walls? That's why I keep falling. Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.

SPEAKER_12 43:21

I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.

SPEAKER_09 43:24

Death is a natural part of life. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Good old matrix. Rejoice for those around you you transform into the force. Mourn them. Do not miss them. Do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is. Seems like everything leads to paddling, just like the Simpsons. That's a padlin.

SPEAKER_16 43:46

Mourning, that's a paddling. Missing, that's a paddling. Having human emotions, that's a padling.

SPEAKER_12 43:52

What must I do, Master Yoda?

SPEAKER_09 43:54

Get out of the Shire, make for the village of Bree. I'll be waiting for you in the inn of the prancing pony. Bring yourself to let go of everything you fare to lose. Cut to Anakin meeting up with Obi-Wan in a hollow map room at the Judai Temple. You missed the report on the outer room sieges. Oh I didn't know if he did though, you know, Petama.

SPEAKER_12 44:14

I'm sorry I was held up. Bike Messenger knocked me down.

SPEAKER_09 44:18

That's the first one.

SPEAKER_12 44:19

I have no excuse.

SPEAKER_09 44:20

In short, they are going very well. Salakami has fallen, and Master Voss has moved his troops to Boz Pity.

SPEAKER_12 44:28

What's wrong then?

SPEAKER_09 44:29

The Senate is expected to vote more executive powers to the Chancellor today.

SPEAKER_12 44:33

Well, that can only mean less deliberating and more action. Is that bad? It'll make it easier to end this war.

SPEAKER_09 44:39

Be careful of your friend the Palpatine.

SPEAKER_12 44:41

Be careful of what?

SPEAKER_09 44:42

He has requested your presence.

SPEAKER_12 44:44

What for?

SPEAKER_09 44:45

He would not say.

SPEAKER_12 44:46

He didn't inform the council. That's unusual, isn't it?

SPEAKER_09 44:49

All of this is unusual. It's making me feel uneasy. Cut to Anakin and Chancellor Palpatine and Palpatine's office. He has red light in his office. How can you get more set than that? It's not a foreshadowing.

SPEAKER_12 45:02

No, it's pretty obvious at this point. I hope you trust me, Anakin. Of course. I need your help, son. What do you mean? I'm depending on you. For what? I don't understand. To be the eyes, ears, voice, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes of the Republic. Anakin, I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi Council. Me? A master? I'm overwhelmed, sir. But the council elects its own members. They'll never accept this. I think they will. They need you more than you know.

SPEAKER_09 45:36

Hmm. What's he up to? Cut to the Jedi Council in the Jedi Temple. Allow this appointment lightly. The council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.

SPEAKER_12 45:49

I understand.

SPEAKER_16 45:50

You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master.

SPEAKER_12 45:54

I respectfully understand this decision and am grateful to be on the council at this age of my life. I will work hard to do what the Jedi Council asks of me, and one day hope to be granted the rank of master.

SPEAKER_09 46:06

Now let's actually hear what Anakin actually said.

SPEAKER_12 46:10

What?

SPEAKER_09 46:11

Anakin looks around with a resentful look. How can you do this? This is outrageous. It's unfair. Yoru and Windu give each other a look that makes them realize their suspicions are confirmed.

SPEAKER_12 46:22

How can you be on the council and not be a master? Take a seat, young Skywalker. Forgive me, master.

SPEAKER_09 46:29

As Anakin sits down, Obi-Wan gives him the biggest, disappointed dad look, shakes the head in all like my god, what are you done?

SPEAKER_12 46:37

We have surveyed all systems in the Republic, but have no sign of General Grievous.

SPEAKER_09 46:42

Hiding in the Alpter Rim Grievouses. The outlying systems you must sweep. We don't have many ships to spare.

SPEAKER_12 46:48

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

SPEAKER_09 46:50

It is critical we send an attack group there immediately. He's right. It's a system we cannot afford to lose. Go, I will. Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.

SPEAKER_16 47:01

Ehoda. What's he been doing on Life Day, you know? Yeah. It's settled then. Yoda will take a battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk. May the force be with us all. Especially if the clones turn on us and we don't get gunned down pretty easily in a moving and tragic montage.

SPEAKER_09 47:18

Cut to Anakin and Obi-Wan talking in the halls of the Jedi Temple.

SPEAKER_12 47:22

What kind of nonsense is this? Put me on the council and not make me a master? It's never been done in the history of the Jedi. It's insulting.

SPEAKER_09 47:30

Oh calm down, Anakin. You have been given a great honor. To be on the council at your age. It's never happened before. The fact of the matter is you are too close to the Chancellor. The council doesn't like it when he interferes in Jedi affairs.

SPEAKER_12 47:43

I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the council.

SPEAKER_09 47:47

But it's what you wanted. Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off.

SPEAKER_12 47:52

That has nothing to do with this.

SPEAKER_09 47:53

The only reason the council has approved your appointment is because the Chancellor trusts you.

SPEAKER_12 47:59

And?

SPEAKER_09 47:59

Anakin, I'm on your side. I didn't want to put you in this situation.

SPEAKER_12 48:03

What situation?

SPEAKER_09 48:04

Obiwan sighs for a moment. Council wants you to report on all the Chancellor's dealings. They want to know what he's up to.

SPEAKER_12 48:13

They want me to spy on the Chancellor? But that's treason.

SPEAKER_09 48:16

We are at war, Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 48:17

Why didn't the Council give me this assignment when we were in session?

SPEAKER_09 48:21

This assignment is not to be on record.

SPEAKER_12 48:23

The Chancellor is not a bad man, Obi Wan. He befriended me, he's watched out for me ever since I arrived here.

SPEAKER_09 48:29

That is why you must help us. Anakin, our allegiance is to the Senate, not its leader, who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired.

SPEAKER_12 48:38

The Senate demanded that he stay longer.

SPEAKER_09 48:40

Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin. Something is out of place.

SPEAKER_12 48:44

You're asking me to do something against the Jedi Code, against the Republic, against a mentor and a friend. That's what's out of place here. Why are you asking this of me?

SPEAKER_09 48:54

The council was asking you. To be honest, this is not the Jedi way to spy on people.

SPEAKER_12 48:59

No. Leads them further into Palpatine's.

SPEAKER_09 49:01

Yeah, Palpatine can manipulate this now because this is not something the Jedi should be doing. So they're doing something against their own benefit.

SPEAKER_12 49:08

And this is causing that moral conflict that Anakin has.

SPEAKER_09 49:11

Apart from the it's outrageous, it's a fair stuff of Anakin. He does have some valid points. Cut to Obi-Wan, Windu, and Yoda on a transport shuttle. It almost sounds like the beginning of a joke. So Obi-Wan, Windu, and Yoda are on a transport shuttle. Anakin did not take his new assignment with much enthusiasm.

SPEAKER_16 49:29

It's very dangerous putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle it. I don't trust him.

SPEAKER_09 49:34

With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force? So the prophecy says. A prophecy that Miss Red could have been. He will not let me down. He never has. Poor Obi-Wan. I hope right you are. I'm glad the scene is here so you know for sure that it was the council that gave Obi-Wan the assignment to Anakin. Otherwise there might be doubt that maybe uh Obi-Wan's going out for himself or something. Yoda gets off the transport. When it lands, he meets a Wookiee representative. But not Chewy. Cut to Anakin and Padamay in that garden area again.

SPEAKER_12 50:11

Sometimes I wonder what's happening to the Jedi Order. I think the war is destroying the principles of the Republic.

SPEAKER_16 50:16

Have you ever considered that maybe we may be on the wrong side? What do you mean? What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists? And the Republic has become the very evil that we're fighting to destroy.

SPEAKER_12 50:30

I don't believe that. And you're sounding like a separatist.

SPEAKER_16 50:33

But this war represents a failure to listen. Now you're closer to the Chancellor than anyone. Please ask him to stop the fighting and let the diplomacy resume.

SPEAKER_12 50:43

Don't ask me to do that. Make a motion in the Senate where that kind of a request belongs.

SPEAKER_15 50:48

What is it?

SPEAKER_12 50:49

Nothing.

SPEAKER_15 50:49

Don't do this. Don't shut me out. Let me help you hold me. Like you did on that lake in Naboo so long ago when there was nothing but a love. No politics, no plotting, no war.

SPEAKER_09 51:02

Um the time you speak of was when there was a plot to assassinate your Paname. It was very political. Cut to the opera on Corusant. Anakin runs up the stairs while you can hear what sounds like Mongolian throat singing. Anakin enters the Chancellor's private box. The floating bubbles at the opera remind me a bit of the 1998 film Sphere, which also stars Samuel Jackson.

SPEAKER_12 51:31

You wanted to see me, Chancellor. Yes, Anakin, come closer, I have good news.

SPEAKER_09 51:35

Anakin kneels down next to Palpatine, a sign of things to come.

SPEAKER_12 51:40

Our clone intelligence units have discovered the location of General Grievous. He's hiding in the Utapa system. At last. We'll be able to capture that monster and endless war. I would worry about the collective wisdom of the council if they didn't select you for this assignment. You're the best choice by far. Sit down. Leave us.

SPEAKER_09 52:03

The others leave. Anakin and Palpatine are alone now. There doesn't seem to be any one around.

SPEAKER_01 52:11

I guess we're alone. Doesn't seem to be any one over.

SPEAKER_09 52:17

Anakin sits in a chair next to Palpatine.

SPEAKER_12 52:19

Anakin, you know I'm not able to rely on the Jedi Council. If they haven't included you in their plot, they soon will. I'm not sure I understand. You must sense what I have come to suspect. The Jedi Council want control of the Republic. They're planning to betray me. I don't think that any can assert your feelings. You know, don't you? I know that they don't trust you. Or the Senate or the Republic. Or democracy, for that matter. I have to admit, my trust in them has been shaken. Why? They asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest, didn't they? They asked you to spy on me, didn't they? I don't uh I don't know what to say. Remember back to your early teachings. All who gain power are afraid to lose it. Even the Jedi. The Jedi use their power for good. Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power. The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inwards only about themselves, and the Jedi don't. The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others.

SPEAKER_09 53:35

Anakin and Palpatine sat and watched the opera for a moment.

SPEAKER_12 53:38

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? No, I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the Sith. So powerful and so wise. He could use the force to influence the Midlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side. He could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. He could actually save people from death. The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural. What happened to him? He became so powerful that the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep.

SPEAKER_09 54:37

Palpatine has a twisted smirk on his face.

SPEAKER_12 54:40

It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. Is it possible to learn this power?

SPEAKER_09 54:47

Palpatine slowly turns his head towards Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 54:51

Not from a Jedi.

SPEAKER_09 54:52

I love that scene. It shows you that automatically he can sense that he's been told to raid on them because he's darcidious, he can tell. And he's using it for his own gain. And he's talking about people losing power, but he's trying to gain it at the same time. What I love about this too is the whole Darth Plagueis story. Yes, it's about how Palpatine killed him, but they talk about how he said he could create life. So in the Star Wars lore, it's actually Darth Plagueis that creates Anakin. He actually finds a power to create life. He just doesn't know that he's done it. And that's why Anakin didn't have a father. He manipulated the Metaclorines to create life. He just couldn't find him.

SPEAKER_16 55:28

What was his mum's name?

SPEAKER_09 55:29

Shmee.

SPEAKER_16 55:30

Shmee, yeah. So she was the Madonna of Italian. Or the Mary, I guess, as well. Yeah, the Mary, the Madonna. Crazy. It's also like where Pal pinpoints his weaknesses to use against them. Like he knows he will want to do anything for Padme. So he's like, Alright, here's where I twist the needle. He knows exactly what he's doing.

SPEAKER_09 55:51

He knows exactly because he's doing it. Same with the Sam people. He was the one that was doing it. This is the first time as well that Palpatine pretty much exposes that he knows the way he's the Sith. I think the whole start of this movie was a test to see where Anakin was at. And now that he knows that Anakin he did what he was told and killed Dooku, he knows now he can move on to the next progress to the next part and big actually take him over.

SPEAKER_16 56:14

All the check boxes.

SPEAKER_09 56:15

It's so manipulative, but this is such a delicious scene because he's just so good at it so much. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 56:21

I wonder if it's ever been like analyzed for abusive techniques that are present.

SPEAKER_09 56:26

Cut to Kashyyk. The clone army and the Wookiees are setting up for battle. Kashyy is a cool beachside jungle setting. I remember it most from the countless battles in Battlefront 2.

SPEAKER_16 56:35

I remember it most from Lego Star Wars.

SPEAKER_09 56:38

Was it a good mission?

SPEAKER_16 56:39

Oh, I had to go back to that so many times. I got pissed off with that level. All the levels.

SPEAKER_09 56:45

Yoda is up in the tree hut and a virtual meeting with the Jedi Council. Don't you just hate to have virtual meetings during work trips? There are two Wookiees with them. One is a site for Saw Eyes. It's Chewbacca from the original Star Wars trilogy. That was terrible, don't put that in. The council is discussing how the Chancellor got the Utapal information about General Grievous. Anakin explains about a partial message interception in a diplomatic packet from the chairman of Utapal. Act on this, we must! The capture of General Grievous will end this war. Quickly and decisively we should proceed.

SPEAKER_12 57:24

The Chancellor has requested that I lead the campaign.

SPEAKER_16 57:27

The Council will make up its own mind who is to go, not the Chancellor.

SPEAKER_09 57:32

A master is needed with more experience.

SPEAKER_16 57:35

I concur. Master Kenobi should go.

SPEAKER_09 57:37

I agree.

SPEAKER_16 57:38

Aye. Very well. Council adjourned.

SPEAKER_09 57:41

Yoda turns off the virtual meeting and turns to look at battlegrounds. The droids have started up their main power generators. Then now the time is, Commander. Yes, sir. Catch a Wookiee Commander rising from the front lines. He roars to start the charge. The battle of Kashyik has begun. The droids roll in with water wheel robo boats. The droid theme from Phantom Menace starts playing. There is a droid bug thing too. It has a fly-like face with a gun for a nose. Some Wookie's Tarzan swing in and jump on droid water wheel boats. Nothing beats a sticky bomb. The water wheel boats blow up. Even Yoda gets fired on. Crazy stuff. Cut to Anakin and Obi-Wan in the Jedi Temple outside area.

SPEAKER_12 58:24

You're gonna need me on this one, Master.

SPEAKER_09 58:26

Oh, I agree. However, it may turn out to be just a wild banther chase.

SPEAKER_12 58:32

Master, I've disappointed you. I haven't been very appreciative of your training. I've been arrogant, and I apologize.

SPEAKER_09 58:39

I do like these glimpses of maturity that Anakin has during this film. He's no longer the bratty teenager and does have some solid points not to trust the council. For me, it makes me feel the downfall of that little bit more tragic. Anakin was almost there if it wasn't for his fears and occasional emotional outbursts. I've just been so frustrated with the council. Obi-Wan smiles at Anakin. You are strong and wise, Anakin, and I am very proud of you. I have trained you since you were a small boy, and I'm explaining this in case any audience members skip straight to this film without watching the previous ones. Because you always start at three. We started at two for the reviews.

SPEAKER_12 59:14

Two, one, three.

SPEAKER_09 59:15

That's how you do it. I have taught you everything I know, and you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be. But be patient, Anakin. It will not be long before the council makes you a Jedi Master. Obi-Wan walks away.

SPEAKER_12 59:28

Obi-Wan. May the Force be with thee.

SPEAKER_09 59:30

Goodbye, old friend. May the force be with you. Sad that these are the final words to each other before everything changes. Pretty much them saying goodbye to themselves.

SPEAKER_16 59:40

Yeah, exactly. To the relationship.

SPEAKER_09 59:42

As Obi-Wan walks away, you can see the doubt return to Anakin's face. Obi-Wan leaves on a massive battle class cruiser. Obi-Wan discusses the plans with Commander Cody.

SPEAKER_16 59:51

Fortunately, most of the cities are concentrated on the small continent here on the far side. I'll keep them distracted until you get there. Just don't take too long. Come on. When have I ever let you down?

SPEAKER_09 1:00:02

Ooh, very poor choice of words. Very well. That won't come back to bite Obi-Wan in any way. The burden is on me not to destroy all the droids until you arrive. Obi-Wan gets in a small ship and takes off out of the cruiser and into space. Obi-Wan once again uses a Nintendo ring fit to hyperspeed away, just like in Attack of the Clones. Cut to Anakin having more nightmares about Patame's death. Obi-Wan is also in the visions. Obi-Wan is telling Padame not to give up. It cuts to Anakin sitting on a couch with a tablet in his hand. Did he just have a sneaky wee Jedi nap?

SPEAKER_12 1:00:39

Patame enters the room. Obi-Wan's been here, hasn't he?

SPEAKER_09 1:00:42

He came by this morning. Anakin gets off the couch and walks towards Patame. What did he want? He's worried about you. Patame and Anakin walk into the bedroom. He says you've been under a lot of stress.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:53

I feel lost. Lost? What do you mean? Obi-Wan and the council don't trust me. They trust you with their lives. Something's happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:04

Stop! Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:08

I'm not the Jedi I should be. Patame looks worried towards Anakin. I want more, and I know I shouldn't. You expect too much of yourself. I found a way to save you. Save me? From my nightmares.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:21

Is that what's bothering you?

SPEAKER_12 1:01:22

Yes, and also, why don't the Wookiees wear pants?

SPEAKER_09 1:01:25

That's an Easter egg from Empire of Dreams documentary. Mark Hampbell said that all the problems the original Star Wars films were having, that one of the discussions that we're seriously having was should the Wookiees wear pants?

SPEAKER_16 1:01:37

Would they be leather pants? If they did wear pants? Or would they be made out of leaves?

SPEAKER_12 1:01:43

I don't know, maybe like flax or something, yeah. I won't lose you, Padme.

SPEAKER_16 1:01:47

I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Annie. Whoa, spoilers, Padme.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:51

I promise you. No, I promise you. Cuts at Obi-Wan arriving in his fighter ship via Ringfit. The fighter detaches from the Ringfit and makes its way towards Udapau. Obi-Wan flies into the pithole base we saw Grievous flying before. Obi-Wan lands while some of Grievous' droids watch from afar. Obi-Wan meets up with the Udapau port administrator, Tion Madan. The design for this race is interesting, a mix of pinhead from Hellraiser and a space lobster. Greetings, young Jedi. What brings you to our remote sanctuary? Unfortunately, the war. There's no war here unless you brought it with you, Gandalf Stormcrow. With your kind permission, I should like some fuel and to use your city as a base as I search nearby systems for General Grievous. Tion speaks in alien language to his motley crew behind him. The crew start to work on Obi-Wan's ship. Tion takes a step forward towards Obi-Wan and speaks quietly to him.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:51

He is here.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:52

We are being held hostage. They are watching us. I understand.

unknown 1:02:57

Tenth level.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:58

Thousands of battle droids. Tell your people to take shelter. If you have warriors, now is the time. Tion and Obi-Wan bow to one another, then head in opposite directions. Obi-Wan hops in his fighter and talks to an R4 unit. Take the fighter back to the ship. Tell Cody I've made contact. Tion walks with his people. The others are asking if the Jedi are gonna bring more warriors to help them. He didn't say. The fighter takes off and flies away, giving Grievous' droid troops the impression that Obi-Wan left. A hooded Obi-Wan watches from cover. Cut to Obi-Wan riding a space lizard bird out of the port.

SPEAKER_16 1:03:35

It totally is.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:38

The space lizard bird makes a cool sound, almost like a higher-pitched raptor from Jurassic Park, or a really slow sounding car alarm. Cut to General Grievous on the tenth level of the port. He is addressing the separatist leaders.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:52

It won't be long before the armies of the Republic track us here. I am sending you to the Mustafa system in the outer room.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:01

Cut to Obi-Wan still riding the space lizard bird. Cut back to Grievous. That's all Elizabeth's just like riding it. And then it goes back to Grievous.

SPEAKER_16 1:04:10

Where is he? Still in the space bird, Liz.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:12

It is a volcanic planet. So you could potentially get badly burnt in the outer rim. Sounds good enough for me. I trust him. Like you won't get any grievous bodily harm here.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:28

Good one. Safe? Hmm. Just a puppet managed to escape my grip, General. Without Koku, I have doubts about your ability to keep us safe.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:37

Obi-Wan listens in on the separatist meaning. He gets off the space lizard bird.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:42

Be thankful for sorry you have not found yourself in my grip. Your ship is waiting.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:51

Grievous walks off while Obi-Wan thinks, ponders, takes a moment, considers, brainstorms what to do next. Obi-Wan disrobes, then Jedi jumps down from his high vantage point to the level the Separatist medium was just on. Obi-Wan lands directly behind General Grievous and destroyed guards. Hello there. There's the line. Two Magna Guards stand in front of Grievous with their weapons ready. Oops, Obi-Wan is in fact surrounded by mini droids.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:22

You a bold one!

SPEAKER_09 1:05:29

Four Magna Guards approach Obi-Wan. Why not just every droid there attack Obi-Wan? I don't know. Surely that would end them. We must take turns. It's like Assassin's Creed, one after the other after the other. Obi-Wan strikes a pose. Then he looks up and force pulls down a vent unit, crushing all the Magna Guards. It's a real Indiana Jones moment. Probably a wink to it also being a Lucas film production.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:51

Like Harrison Ford was sick at the time and he just couldn't be bothered, so he's like, ugh.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:56

And now it's iconic. Yeah. One of the Magna Guards survives the crash. But Obi-Wan spins his sabre around before beheading the droid guard. The other droids prepare to fight.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:06

Back away! I will deal with this Jedi slow myself.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:11

Your move? Damn it. Must be a turn-based RPG. You fool! I've been trained in your Jedi art spike. General Grievous removes his cape. Then Grievous splits his arms and reveals four lightsabers in his android hands. Like a spider. Grievous lights them up. Attack! Obi-Wan once again strikes a pose. I like his strike a pose as he got his arm back and his forward. It's almost like Hulk Hogan doing the Hulk of Mania thing. Strike a pose. Grievous starts using the two top lightsabers in his hands as laser propellers that he waves in front of his body. Helicopter propeller blades. It's like really cool. I watched this and go, how the heck is Obi-Wan gonna fight him? But he does. This is a cool and inventive idea for the use of multiple lightsabers. The jewel itself is pretty solid. Watching Obi-Wan pick his spots and show off his skills in this really proves that it's not just the strength of the saber, rather the Jedi that wields it. Obi-Wan starts to cut off Grievous' hands one at a time. After Obi-Wan removes Grievous' second hand, the clone army shows up in support. Descending clone troops always look cool. Grievous and Obi-Wan continue their duel on a narrow walkway. There is a close-up of Grievous' eyes, showing you a part of the alien behind the machine. Grievous is a precursor, of course, to Anakin's fate. Cut to a close-up of Obi-Wan's eyes. Oh, I don't think so. Obi-Wan force pushes General Grievous away, which causes Grievous to drop his remaining lightsabers and lands like a spider. Obi-Wan gives chase as Grievous spiderwalks over to one of those space chattering catwheel vehicles.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:53

So real.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:54

Obi-Wan has to jump out of the way to avoid being run over by Grievous. Obi-Wan whistles for a space lizard bird. Obi-Wan hops on Golden Axe style and chases after Grievous. Yes! Yes! That's exactly it. This lander and jumps on it. Uh-huh. Golden Axe. The shots of the space chatter ring going down the pit and Obi-Wan's space lizard bird wall climbing down the pit are pretty darn cool. A clone trooper picks up a lightsaber that dropped from above. Must be Obi-Wan's. And after all those lectures he gave Anakin and Attack of the Clones about not losing the saber. It's a part of you! You cannot lose it. Cut to Anakin and Windu at the Judai Temple. They are talking to the Council and Commander Cody via spacephone.

SPEAKER_16 1:08:36

General Kenobi has made contact with General Grievous and we've begun our attack. Thank you, Commander. Anakin. Deliver this report to the Chancellor. His reaction will give us a clue to his intentions.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:47

Yes, Master.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:48

Mace Windu has a deep thinking face as Anakin walks away. Maybe I should have asked for a multicolored lightsaber. Windu speaks to the council, who are still on the space phone.

SPEAKER_16 1:09:00

A sense of plot to destroy the Jedi. The dark side of the force surrounds the Chancellor.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:06

If he does not give up his emergency powers after the destruction of General Grievous, then he should be removed from office.

SPEAKER_16 1:09:14

The Jedi Council would have to take control of the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:19

To a dark place, this line of thought will carry us. Mmm. Great care we must take. Count to Palpatine sitting in this chair in the office. I do like how much red they use in Palpatine's office. I said it before, but it just gets darker and darker.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:38

In the office and on a screen that he's looking at, so it's like, oh yeah, he's clearly the Emperor.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:43

Anakin walks in behind Palpatine. It's a nice shot. Palpatine spins around to face Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:49

Chancellor, we've just received a report from Master Kenobi. He has engaged General Grievous. They are said to wed in the fall. God damn. We can only hope that Master Kenobi is up to the challenge. I should be there with him. It's upsetting to me to see that the council doesn't seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don't you wonder why they wouldn't make you a Jedi master?

SPEAKER_09 1:10:14

Palpatine knows just what buttons to push.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:17

I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I'm being excluded from the council.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:23

Anakin looks intensely at Palpatine.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:26

I know there are things about the force that they're not telling me.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:29

Well, yeah, Palpatine told you this earlier at the Space Opera Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:33

They don't trust you, Anakin.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:35

Palpatine rises from the chair.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:37

They see your future and they know your power will be too strong to control. You must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:49

Palps and Annie walk into the office hallway.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:52

Let me help you to know the subtleties of the force. How do you know the ways of the force? Bite messenger knocked me down.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:59

Number two?

SPEAKER_12 1:11:00

My mentor taught me everything about the force, even the nature of the dark side.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:06

Anakin looks at Palpatine differently, like he's seen his true nature for the first time.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:11

You know the dark side, Anakin. If one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the force. Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin. Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the dark side of the force, and you will be able to save your wife from certain death.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:47

How does Palpatine know this? Common theory is that Palpatine planted the scenarios into Anakin's dreams, just like he did with his mother. What did you say?

SPEAKER_12 1:11:57

Use my knowledge, I beg you.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:59

Anakin turns on his lightsaber and points it at the Chancellor.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:03

You're the Sith Lord. I know what's been troubling you. Listen to me. Listen to me now Don't continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council. Ever since I've known you, you have been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi. A life of significance of conscience.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:25

Palpatine turns his back on Anakin, who still has his lightsaber trained in Palpatine's direction.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:31

Are you going to kill me? I would certainly like to.

unknown 1:12:34

I know you would.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:37

I can feel your anger.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:40

It gives you focus. It makes you stronger.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:44

Anakin shuts off his lightsaber.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:47

I'm going to turn you over to the Jedi Council. Of course you should. But you're not sure of their intentions, are you? I will quickly discover the truth of all this. You have great wisdom, Anakin. Know the power of the dark side. The power to save Padme.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:05

Cut to Obi-Wan on Utapau, chasing Grievous. Obi-Wan has his space as a bird while Grievous is still in the space chattering. Obi-Wan wrestles with Grievous who are side by side. Grievous has one of those purple energy staffs. Obi-Wan eventually jumps onto the space chattering and they continue the fight. Eventually a blaster gets used, and Obi-Wan and Grievous are knocked off the space chattering. The vehicle flies off the edge of the floor they are on. Obi-Wan and Grievous continue their fight on foot. Obi-Wan picks up the energy staff while Grievous gets the blaster. Obi-Wan knocks the blaster out of Grievous' hands. Obi-Wan knocks Grievous to the ground and tries to stab Grievous in the Robo chest, but Grievous kicks him away, which dislodges the staff. Obi-Wan tries to have a hand-to-hand fight with a mechanical beast. It doesn't work out too well. Obi-Wan does manage to bend the front chest plates though, exposing Grievous' biological heart. Grievous is shocked and angry by this and knocks Obi-Wan away. Obi-Wan gets knocked about a bit here by Grievous and slides over the edge. Obi-Wan is left hanging, just like in episode one. Grievous walks towards Obi-Wan with their energy staffs. Obi-Wan force grabs the blaster from afar and shoots Grievous in the exposed heart. Not once. Not twice. But thrice. Actually, it's just several times. Grievous catches fire and cries out in agony. Talk about bad heartburn. Eventually Grievous' eyes light up before his brain explodes within his metal casing. General Grievous is space dead. Obi-Wan pulls himself back up from the edge and walks along with a blast before tossing it. So uncivilized. Obi-Wan inspects Grievous' smoldering remains. Not the last time Obi-Wan is going to the burning man in this film. Cut to Anakin meeting Windu in a hangar.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:52

Master Windu, I must talk to you.

SPEAKER_16 1:14:54

Skywalker, we've just received word that Obi-Wan has destroyed General Grievous. We're on our way to make sure the Chancellor returns emergency power back to the Senate.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:03

He won't give up his power. I've just learned a terrible truth. I think Chancellor Palbertine is a Sith Lord. A Sith Lord? Yes. The one we've been looking for. How do you know this? He knows the ways of the force and lied to the movie, Morbius. He's been trained to use the dark side. Are you sure? Absolutely.

SPEAKER_16 1:15:23

Then our worst fears are being realized. There might be a Morbius too. We must move quickly if the Jedi orders to survive.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:30

Master, the Chancellor is very powerful. You'll need my help if you're going to arrest him.

SPEAKER_16 1:15:35

For your own good, stay out of this affair. I sense a great deal of confusion in you, young Skywalker. There is much fear that clouds your judgment.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:42

I must go, Master.

SPEAKER_16 1:15:44

No. If what you've told me is true, you will have gained my trust. But for now, remain here. Wait in the council chambers until we return.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:52

Windu gets onto a transport.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:54

Yes, Master.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:55

Cuts a Patame in her chambers, sitting there, pondering about space things. Anakin sits down in the council chambers so full of doubt and fear. Anakin can hear Palpatine's words in his mind. He needs to save Paderme. As Patame and Anakin look outside the windows of their areas, haunting music plays. This is the turning point in the movie. Anakin starts crying, then walks out of the council chambers and races to a speeder. Cut to Mace Windu, entering the Chancellor's office with three disposable Jedi Knights. They are, they get knocked down one move.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:27

Master Windu. I take it General Grievous has been destroyed then. I must see you're here sooner than expected.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:35

Mace Windu pulls out his purple lightsaber, the disposable Jedi follows suit.

SPEAKER_16 1:16:39

In the name of the collected Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest, Chancellor.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:44

Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?

SPEAKER_16 1:16:47

The Senate will decide your fate. I am the Senate. Not yet.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:53

Palpatine rises from his chair and sleeve magic tricks out a lightsaber.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:57

It's treason, then.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:59

Palpatine turns on his lightsaber, which has a familiar red glow. The forward spinning twist move here from Palps is crazy, and his facials through the fight here are pretty hilarious. He's like Palpatine makes light work of the disposable Jedi. It becomes a 1v1 duel. Palpatine vs. Windu. Windu's technique is interesting. He's not fast or agile, but he has a lot of strength to his moves. Count to Anakin landing in the ship speeder and running inside. Count back to Windu vs. Palpatine. Palpatine is flipping around all over the place. Their battle smashes the front window of Palpatine's office. Eventually Windu overpowers Palpatine, dislodging Palps' lightsaber out the window and knocking him to the ground. Mace Windu has Palpatine pinned against the broken window frame with his lightsaber when Anakin enters the room.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:51

You are under arrest, my lord. Anakin, I told you it'd come to this. I was right. The Jedi are taking over.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:59

Yeah, because Anakin ratted you out, Palps, and told Windu, who then came to arrest you. Shouldn't be that conflicting, Anakin.

SPEAKER_16 1:18:06

The oppression of the Sith will never return. You have lost.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:10

Now, now you will die.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:13

Palpatine uses force lightning against Mace Windu, but Windu blocks it with his lightsaber and aims it back at Palpatine.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:20

Traitor!

SPEAKER_09 1:18:21

He is the traitor.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:22

I have the power to save the ones you love. You must choose.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:28

The force lightning starts to transform Palpatine into Darth Sidious. Don't listen to him, Anakin!

SPEAKER_12 1:18:35

Don't let him kill me. I can't hold on any longer.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:40

I I I can't I'm weak. I'm too weak. Anakin, help me.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:48

Help me. Palpatine gives up the force lightning, leaving Windu holding his lightsaber towards Palpatine. Palpatine pretends that he is exhausted.

SPEAKER_16 1:18:57

I'm gonna end this once and for all. You can't. He must stand trial. He has control of the Senate and the courts. He's too dangerous to be left alive. That's what Palpatine said exactly at the start of the film.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:09

He's too dangerous to be kept alive.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:11

I am too weak. Oh, don't give me please.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:16

It's not the Jedi way. He must live. Palpatine looks at Windu. Please don't. I need him. Windu raises his lightsaber in the air.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:25

Please don't.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:26

No! Anakin cuts Mace Windu's lightsaber hand off, sending the saber in hand out the window. Palpatine smiles. Pow Palpatine blasts forced lightning at Mace Windu. You can see the skeleton image through Windu's forced lightning stricken body, like Vader in Return of the Jedi. Pow Mace is sent out the window, or should I say window?

SPEAKER_12 1:19:50

I was waiting for that.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:51

To his assumed death. Anakin is mentally destroyed.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:54

What have I done?

SPEAKER_09 1:19:55

Palpatine gets up.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:57

You're fulfilling your destiny, Anakin. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the dark side of the force. I will do whatever you ask. Wow, that term is quick.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:12

Palpatine has now a raspy breath to him, and his voice has an echo to it. Good.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:19

Just help me save Padame's life. I can't live without her. To cheat the death is a power only one has achieved.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:28

But if we work together, I know we can discover the secret.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:35

Five minutes into his dark side apprenticeship, and Sidious has already lied about knowing how to save Padme. Anakin kneels before Zod. Whoops, sorry. That was the last Chancellor. Anakin kneels before Sidious.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:48

I pledge myself to your teachings. Good. Good. The force is strong with you.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:57

A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Vader.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:08

Meh meh meh meh meh meh meh.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:13

Thank you, my master. Do you notice in the scene one side of Anakin's face is dark and the other is light? I noticed that. Very good lighting there.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:21

It would be awesome if like his face were fully covered in dark once he turned.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:25

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, it's like he's still battling to be good.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:28

Yeah, half him, half Darth. Darth Vader stands up for the first time. Cut to Yoda needing to lean against a post on Kashyik. He feels a terrible disturbance in the force. Cut back to Palpatine and Anakin talking in the Chancellor's office.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:42

Because the council did not trust you, my young apprentice.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:46

Ah, come on, not just my young apprentice stuff again.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:50

I believe you are the only Jedi with no knowledge of this plot.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:54

Sidious always manipulated the narrative to suit his needs.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:58

When the Jedi learn what has transpired here, they will kill us. Along with all the senators.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:05

Yes, because we all know that the Jedi are mass murderers.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:08

I agree. The council's next move will be against the Senate.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:12

Palpatine puts his hood up on his dark hooded robe. His transformation into the Emperor Darf Sidious is now complete.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:21

Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:30

Anakin gives a dark look towards Sidious.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:33

Understand, Master. We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off the balance. Do what must be done, Lord Vida. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:54

Is this Star Wars or Cobra Kai?

SPEAKER_12 1:22:57

Only then will you be strong enough with the dark side to save Padame.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:03

Always dangling that space carrot of Padame to Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:06

What about the other Jedi spread across the galaxy? Their betrayal will be dealt with. After you have killed all the Jedi in the temple, go to the Mustar system.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:18

Wipe out Viceroy Gunray and the other separatist leaders. Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy and we shall have peace.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:33

So good. Well done. Hard to play two roles. Thank you. That was a lot of talking. Scene 25. Cut to the Jedi Temple at night. Get it? Evil things are gonna happen because it's dark. A dark hooded Anakin skywalker slash Darth Vader leads a whole platoon of clone troopers up the stairs and towards the entrance of the Jedi Temple. A really cool shot in Obna's sight, like seeing him walk with his hood up with a whole army behind him.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:05

I love that theme.

SPEAKER_09 1:24:06

Cut to the Utapa system. The clone troopers are still fighting the Separatist drawing armies. Obi-Wan is riding as space as a bird around. Obi-Wan rides up to Commander Cody. Commander, contact your troops. Tell them to move to the higher levels. Very good, sir. Oh, by the way, I think you'll be needing this. Commander Cody hands Obi-Wan back his lightsaber. Thank you, Cody. Now let's get a move on. We've got a battle to win here. Definitely no chance you and your troops have a mind controlling chip in your head and turn on all the Jedi. Obi-Wan Hayaz the rains on a space lizard bird and rides off up the side of the wall. Commander Cody then receives a space call on a space mobile. It's Sidious.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:46

Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute order sixty six.

SPEAKER_16 1:24:54

Yep. Yep. Yep, why not? It's your thing, bro.

SPEAKER_09 1:24:59

Yes, my lord. Commander Cody orders the clone troops to start firing on Obi-Wan and his space lizard bird, including a space tank. Obi-Wan and the Space Lizard Bird fall from a space tank blast and into the watery cabins below. You can hear the space lizard bird crying out in pain as it falls. I really feel sad for that space lizard bird. Yeah. Because it gets killed. Yeah, it's so sad, man. Cue an emotional montage of the Jedi getting wiped out across the galaxy by their own clone troop armies. Some of the murdered Jedi include Kayade Monday, Ayla Sakura, Plocoon, and Stas Ali. This scene, like, hits if I didn't know anything about other movies, I wouldn't have hit the same, but because of you know what the Jedi have meant to the world and the universe when this happens, especially the own troopers turning on them. Like the one I think it hits me the most is Kayade Monday is about the charge, and they all stop and turn on. He just looks at him, he knows he's about to die. Yeah. That part's like, oh god. Yeah, he turns back and goes like uh it's almost like Goodfellas with the montage where they're all getting murdered.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:02

Yeah, definitely. It's interesting because a lot of the Jedi that get killed like have big arcs in the Clone Wars. Plocoon. So yeah, Plo Coon, definitely. So, like, if you'd watched the Clone Wars, that scene will have more of an impact.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:15

Yeah, it's actually really done beautifully too. Like, the music and stuff in this is really good. And it gives you like some worlds too that Battlefront 2 take. Like, you never see those worlds apart from this montage. I'm guessing you probably see them more in the animated shows as well.

SPEAKER_16 1:26:27

Yeah, you do. Some of them are like, oh, you could have used that design a lot more.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:32

It's like that was great for a 30-second shot. Yeah. Yoda drops his stuff. He can feel all the loss through the force. It's like a heart attack to his soul. When you see Yoda in pain, it's like, holy cow, you never see Yoda ever like weak or in pain.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:45

He senses it.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:46

Makes me sad. This montage hits harder than you first expect. The mass extermination of the Jedi. The good guys aren't supposed to die. A clone trooper in Kashyyyk, who is by the hut Yoda is in, gets the order. The trooper walks up to another trooper who is just behind Yoda. Yoda is too good to fall for this and backflips and relieves the two clone troopers of their heads with his lightsaber. Chewy and the other Wookiees start to roar, probably totally confused what's going on. Yoda climbs up Chewie's arm as Chewy is running, and this looks awesome and hilarious when he's like just running up his arm. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:20

I'm gonna ride you now. It's like kittens running up people's legs. Cut to Anakin entering the Jedi Council room. There are a group of younglings, aka Jedi kids, huddling behind the chairs in fear. The younglings get out of their hiding spots. Finally, a Jedi is here to save them.

SPEAKER_11 1:27:35

Master Skywalker, there are too many of them.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:38

What are we going to do? Anakin looks rageful in the direction of the younglings and turns on his lightsaber. Just that that shot of the kid looking at him, you see the kid's expression, not Anakin's. All you see is the lightsaber go warm. That twenty seconds of acting. Pretty good.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:52

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:53

Like later on when you see Obi Wan watching him fight them, it looked kind of comical because it's like dancing with them, looks like. But this Part I think shows you how ruthless and how dark he's gotten. He's gonna kill a kid. It's like whoa. Meanwhile, Patame is in her apartment.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:07

The Chancellor's office indicated Master Anakin returned to the Jedi Temple. Don't worry. I I'm sure he'll be alright.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:15

Patame starts to cry. Can she sense it? Do you think she's got some force abilities? I think so. Or maybe she's just looking at the window and seeing fire. Yeah, because you see the temple on fire out the window. And later on when he comes back, she says I saw the temple. What's going on? So I think she's just seeing it. I don't think she has any force abilities. Cut to Senator Baal Organa landing outside the Judai Temple and a speeder.

SPEAKER_16 1:28:37

Hey, what's going on here? There's been a rebellion, sir. Don't worry. The situation is under control.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:48

Clone Trooper points his blaster at Senator Organa. I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave. And so it is. I like that. He looks at the gun's like, so it is. Fair enough. Senator Organa quietly walks back towards the speeder. A young teenage Judai tries to fight the clone troopers by Senator Ogana. He bravely puts up a good fight, but the numbers are too much, and the young Judai gets gunned down. No! Senator Organa races away in the speeder. Senator Ogana is probably the most underused character in this prequel trilogy. I would have been happy to get more Jimmy Smiths, especially how we know he dies in Alderon in episode 4, New Hope. Mm-hmm. Could have been more tragic in the New Hope if Organa had been more of a thorn to Sidious in this trilogy. So explains more why Sidious targeted Alderon, not just because it was Princess Leia's hometown or home planet, but because Organa had been such a thorn in the side this whole entire trilogy. Would have been good. In the first one, when Palpatine goes up against someone, he's going up against Organa's the person that was in the Senate before him. I was like, why not just make it Organa? Because that way he's always been a rival to Sidious. Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:51

Lengthens the It would have worked better, I think.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:54

Kata Udapau, Obi-Wan is alive. He's alive! I guess no one was shocked by this, being he's in episode four, but yeah. Obi-Wan uses the same small breathing stick that he and Qui Gon used in episode one. Full circle moment. Obi-Wan Jedi climbs up the wall. Kata Kashyyk, the rebellious clone army troops are riding space robot chicken legs. Yes, I know what I was doing there, robot chicken. They come to a bunch of Wookiee bodies. All these Wookies are dead. Move to the east. The clone robot chicken walkers split up and move out. Kata Chewy and the other Wookiee removing branches and revealing a small space pod. Goodbye, Towerful. Goodbye, Chewbacca. Chewy growls. Sounds like the guy from the pod race.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:42

Miss you, I will.

SPEAKER_16 1:30:44

When this happened, I thought, does he have like a backup on every system he goes to? Or does he just happen to have backup hidden little ship?

SPEAKER_09 1:30:54

I think it's because he knows he was going into battle. So he had to have a backup plan because he's a Jedi. Yeah. If things go south, I need to be able to get out quickly. I need to find so I think he wouldn't have it on every planet, but I think he had it here because he knew he was going to war. Yoda only looks out for Yoda. Number one. Yeah. Number one. It's a Yoda's wee space pod opens up and Yoda gets in. The pod takes off into the night sky and gives me E.T. vibes for some reason. Cut to Organa taking off in a ship from the docking bay. Pretty sure it's the same style as the ones the rebels have at the start of A New Hope, but much cleaner and more vibrant. Ogana talks to some other people about needing to warn the Jedi before they return to the ambush. Cut back to Udapau.

SPEAKER_16 1:31:33

Did you find Kenobi? Sir! No one could have survived their fall. That no one is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I once saw him kill three droids with a space pencil. A freaking space pencil. Start loading your men on the ships. Move it.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:47

Sorry, John Wick. Freaking pencil. Obi-Wan is hiding just around the corner from Commander Cody and crew. Obi-Wan runs off to a conveniently left empty fighter. He gets in and takes off into space.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:02

Yeah, just oh look. No one's here.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:04

Even though there's thousands of clone troopers around. Obi-Wan uses the space radio. Emergency code 913. I have no contact on any frequency. A distorted message from Senator Organa comes up. Master Kenobi! Repeat. Master Kenobi! Senator Organa? My clone troops have turned on me.

SPEAKER_16 1:32:22

I need help. We've just rescued Master Yoda. It appears this ambush has happened everywhere. We're sending you our coordinates.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:29

One, two, three, four, five? Huh. That's the same combination as on my luggage. Shut up the space balls there. Cut to Patamay and C3PO made an Anakin and Atu outside by a speeder ship. Padame hugs him.

SPEAKER_15 1:32:42

Are you alright? I heard there was an attack on the Jedi Temple. You could see the smoke from here.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:47

I'm fine, I'm fine. I came to see you, if you and the baby are safe. What's happening? The Jedi have tried to overthrow the Republic.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:56

I can't believe that.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:58

Would you believe five Jedi and a space dog then? I saw Master Windu attempt to assassinate the Chancellor myself.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:06

Oh, Anakin, what are you going to do? Anakin turns his back on Paname and walks into a darkened area.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:12

I will not betray the Republic. My loyalties lie with the Chancellor, and with the Senate, and with you.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:18

What about Obi-Wan?

SPEAKER_12 1:33:19

I don't know. Many Jedi have been killed. We can only hope that he's remained loyal to the Chancellor.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:25

Anakin, I'm afraid.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:27

Have faith, my love. Everything will soon be set right. The Chancellor has given me a very important mission. The separatists have gathered on the Mustafa system. I'm going to end this war. Wait for me until I return. Things will be different, I promise.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:40

Anakin kisses Padamay.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:43

Please wait for me.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:45

Wow, that was a big smooch. Smoochie smoochy. Anakin sounds like a soldier who's about to go to war in the scene. Anakin gets in the speeder ship. R2 is already in the speed ship already. C3PO and R2 have a moment.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:58

Take care, my little friend.

SPEAKER_09 1:34:00

Anakin's ship takes off. Kata Obi-Wan's fightership arriving on the new Hope ship. We saw Organa on before. Kata Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Organa walking and talking through the hallway of the New Hope ship. How many other Jedi have managed to survive? Heard from no one we have.

SPEAKER_16 1:34:16

I saw thousands of troops attack the Jedi temple. That's why I went looking for Yoda. Have we heard any contact from a temple? Received a coded retreat message we have. It requests our Jedi to return to the temple.

SPEAKER_09 1:34:28

Says the war is over. Well, then we must go back. If there are any stragglers, they will fall into the trap and be killed. Hmm suggest dismantling the code signal. Do you? Yes, master. There was too much at stake. I agree. And a little more knowledge might light our way. Cut to Mustafa, a volcanic planet that is dark and full of liquid hot magma. Magma. Magma. Magma. There are droids on robot camels, as well as flying droids that seem to be mining the planet. A few aliens are there too. I didn't even realize there's actually aliens on that planet. I thought it was all droids.

SPEAKER_16 1:35:02

No, no, it's some of the guys that like are picking up lava. Oh, they're fishermen just guys. The space fishermen.

SPEAKER_09 1:35:08

Ooh, there's a good piece of rock. Oh, it's a big one. Cut to the Separatist Council talking to Sidious on the space phone.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:16

The plan has got as promised, my lord. You have done well, Viceroy.

SPEAKER_10 1:35:22

When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you.

SPEAKER_09 1:35:28

Sidious disconnects the call. I do like how Gunray gets an end to the story. Like they could have easily just ridden him out and said, Oh, he got killed off somewhere else or something, or he's just doing other things. But it's cool to have his end here at the hands of Anakin because the first time we see him is in Phantom Menace as well, which Anakin screwed up his plans there too, because he built the ship. Yeah, true. So it's full circle for Gunray and he gets the end to a story. He's not just left in the wind. Like wind does, you don't know if he dies or not, so they never really have explained it. Would it be nicer to have an actual definite end for him? Cut to the new hope ship arriving back to Coruscant. They're receiving a message from the Chancellor's office. It's that judge-looking right hand alien of Palpatines. The Supreme Chancellor has requested Senator Ogana's presence at a special session of Congress. I'll be right there. The call ends. Could be a trap? I don't think so. The Chancellor will not be able to control the thousands of star systems without keeping the Senate intact. If a special session of Congress there is, easier for us to enter the Jedi Temple, it will be Cutter Anakin's ship arriving on Mustafa. It was Mustafar, now it's Musta Close. Anakin lands on a landing pad and walks towards the building the separatists are in.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:42

R2, stay with the ship.

SPEAKER_09 1:36:44

I like that he says this because R2 never sees Anakin doing anything evil. And that's why I guess R2 has always remained good as well. That he never witnesses it. Otherwise, wouldn't he have just been on the bad guy's side? Because he never gets his memory wiped, so he says Ripio. Cut to the room the separatist leaders are in. You can see a bunch of those little space remote controlled cars driving around, or the leader waits.

SPEAKER_16 1:37:06

I was called the mice bots, but I don't know what they are.

SPEAKER_09 1:37:09

Anakin enters the room.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:11

Welcome, Lord Feder. We've been expecting you.

SPEAKER_09 1:37:14

Anakin uses the force to close all the doors. Imperial theme kicks in again. Meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh. Go back to Corusite. Yoda is taking on a bunch of clone troopers and winning. Yoda throws his lightsaber through the chest of one of the clone troopers, then jumps on his chest while pulling it back out. Savage. Obi-Wan has also given the clone troopers the business with his lightsaber. Must be hard for them fighting when they fought so many battles together. The thing is, you gotta remember they were, especially if you take in the animated shows, how many battles Obi-Wan Kenobi went into war with the clone army, and now he has to fight them. He was friends of Commander Cody. It was like good friends, like they were having a good chuckle with one another. They weren't just their army, they were like family. And now they've tune of them. Heartbreaking. Cut to the Senate arena. All the senators have gathered for a special assembly. Palpatine slash Sidious is speaking in the middle pod.

SPEAKER_13 1:38:06

And the Jedi Rebellion has been foiled.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:10

Organa joins Padame in a pod. You can see Jar Jar is there also, as well as the guard from Attack of the Clones, played by Jay Legaia. Ah yeah. Back again. I'm back again, Padame! Organa talks to Padame.

SPEAKER_16 1:38:26

What's happened? The Churchiller's been elaborating on a plot by the Jedi to overthrow the Senate.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:31

The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:36

The Senate Arena applauds. Kata Obi-Wan and Yoda making their way through the halls of the Jedi Temple.

SPEAKER_16 1:38:44

Do I not get to do the famous line?

SPEAKER_09 1:38:46

Escalator on.

SPEAKER_16 1:38:46

Is it? Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:48

With thunderous applause, Ross. Kata Obi-Wan and Yoda making their way through the halls of the Jedi Temple. There are bodies of Jedi all over the place. A haunting reality check for the two Jedi masters. Imagine walking in there, seeing a bunch of kids massacred. It's nasty. Not even the younglings survived. Killed not by clones, this Padawan. But by a lightsaber he was. Who? Who could have done this? Heartbreaking. That's Anakin or Mustafa. Killing the defenseless separatist leaders with his lightsaber. Anakin is just brutal here. Cut back to the Senate Arena.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:20

The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:27

Oh, poor Dark City is such a tragic story that wasn't entirely his own fault.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:33

But I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:39

The Senate arena applauses. Padamay looks around the arena in disgust. Cut back to Anakin, still destroying the separatist leaders. Some of the leaders cry out begging not to die. Oh please, don't kill me! Anakin won't stop. He can't stop. You can see that Anakin's eyes have transformed due to the dark side energy now flowing through him. Cut back to the Senate Arena.

SPEAKER_12 1:40:05

In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire for a safe and secure society.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:23

The crowd erupts in thunderous applause. Padame is completely disorientated by this.

SPEAKER_16 1:40:31

So, this is how Liberty dies with thunderous applause.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:35

I actually like that line more than I probably should. I think it's a great line. Yeah. One of the best. Come back to Anakin on Mustafa. He leaps down in front of Viceroy Gunray. The war is over.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:46

Lord Sidious promised us peace. We only want Wom!

SPEAKER_09 1:40:51

Anakin slices Gunray down before he can even finish his line. That's cold, Anakin. Cold. Anakin turns off his lightsaber and walks away. Cut to Obi Wan and the Jedi Archives. He alters the Mayday message to the Jedi. I have recalibrated the code, warning all surviving Jedi to stay away. For the clones to rediscover the recalibration, a long time it will take. Obi-Wan and Yoda leave the archives room and start heading out. Wait, Master, there is something I must know. Obi-Wan heads over to a security control panel. If into the security recordings you go, only pain you will find. You think Yoda knew it was Anakin without even looking at the cameras? Yeah. I think I think so too. He's that in tune to the force that he knew. I must know the truth, Master. Obi Wan goes through the security footage. He sees Anakin killing the younglings. Yoda puts his head down in sadness. It can't be. It can't be. Obi-Wan also sees Anakin kneeling in front of Sidious and becoming a Sith apprentice. Obi-Wan also catches Anakin's new name, Lord Vader. I can't watch any more. Must be Morbius bad then. Destroy the Sith we must. Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin. To fight Lord Sidious strong enough. You are not? Oh well, it's harsh lines. You ready to say? He is like my brother. I cannot do it. Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained? Gone. He is. Consumed by Darth Vader. I do not know where the Emperor has sent him. I don't know where to look. Use your feelings, Obi Wan. And find him. You will. Cut Obi-Wan talking to Padame in a garden balcony area. When was the last time you saw him? Yesterday. And do you know where he is now? Nope. Padamay, I need your help. He is in grave danger. From the Sith? From himself. Patame. Anakin has turned to the dark side. You're wrong. How could you even say that? Obi-Wan looks like he's about to be sick, but continues on. I have seen a security hologram of him killing younglings. Not Anakin. He could have d He was deceived by a lie. We all were. It appears the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice. Patame is lost for words. I don't believe you. Okay, she wasn't lost for words. I can't. Patame sits down. Obi-Wan sits next to her. Patame, I must find him. You're going to kill him, aren't you? No, I'll just leave him disfigured and very badly burnt. I promise. He has become a great threat. I can't. Obi-Wan looks disappointed, but he gets up and walks a few steps before stopping and turning back towards Patame. Anakin is the father, isn't he? Patame looks down at the floor. I'm so sorry. Obi-Wan's reaction about knowing Anakin was the father of Padame's child makes me feel like he would have understood and helped Anakin if only Anakin had told him. Obi-Wan walks away and gets into a nearby fighter speeder. This is the sort of stuff that Qui-Gon would have helped Anakin through, and Anakin probably would have confided in Qui-Gon about, but it's stuff that he just didn't trust Obi-Wan enough to tell. It's just sad. Come back to Mustafar. It looks like a hell of a place. All the separatist leaders are lying motionless on the floor of the room. Anakin is chilling on a nearby bridge platform, looking over Mustafar with rage filled Sith eyes. It's your scene. You say one of your favourite scenes, Tenzin?

SPEAKER_12 1:44:24

It's um beautiful scene. Just uh very powerful. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:27

The tear going down his eye because he knows what he's done and he can't stop himself now. No. It's like drugs.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:32

Too far gone.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:33

It's the point of no return. You can see a single tear running down his face. His soul knows what he's done and it just can't do anything about it. The power of the dark side is too strong. Cut back to Coruscant. Jay the guy is asking Patame for permission to go with her. Patame is going somewhere in a different type of shiny silver ship. This one is more boomerang stingray looking. Padame and C. Thrupio enter the new and improved shiny silver ship. Obi-Wan sneaks onto the new and improved shiny silver ship. He hides into a space closet. The new and improved shiny silver ship takes off. Cut the Sidious and Judge Alien Guy sitting in the room where the main middle pod of the Senate arena is lowered. You can see it in the middle of the room. He has an office below the Senate arena where the pod goes up.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:19

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So cool.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:20

Sidious gets a space call on the space phone from Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:25

The separatists have been taken care of, my master. It is finished then. You have restored peace and justice to the galaxy. Send a message to the ships of the Trade Federation. All droid units must shut down immediately. Very good, my lord.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:46

There is an incoming ship alert on the most of our systems. Padame lands the new and improved shiny silver ship on a landing pad near Anakin. Anakin and Padame run to each other outside on the landing pad and embrace. I saw your ship. You mean the new and improved shiny silver ship? Yeah. She's a butte mate. What are you doing out here?

SPEAKER_14 1:46:04

I was so worried about you. Obi-Wan told me terrible things.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:08

What things?

SPEAKER_16 1:46:10

Well, for the start is the plot to the movie Morbius. She also said you've turned to the dark side that you killed the younglings.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:17

Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.

SPEAKER_16 1:46:20

He cares about us.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:22

Us?

SPEAKER_14 1:46:22

He knows. He wants to help you, Anakin but all I want is your love.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:27

Love won't save you, Patame. Only my new powers can do that.

SPEAKER_16 1:46:30

At what cost? You're a good person. Don't do this.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:34

I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of. And I'm doing it for you. To protect you.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:42

Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything behind while we still can.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:48

Patame is going a bit delusional here. He killed a bunch of kids, Patame. It's like in episode two when Patame hears about him killing the all the Sam people. Not just the men but the women and children too. She just kind of cuts off and doesn't pretend like he didn't say anything. This is what she's doing here again. She's here to these unhorrible things, and rather than accepting it, she just tries to like say, oh, we can just move past this.

SPEAKER_16 1:47:09

It's a cycle of abuse kind of thing where it's like it's like, oh, it's fine. I can change him. I can forgive him for these bad things.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:17

He's got good in him still. Even though he's doing a lot of bad. Doesn't mean there's no good, but shouldn't excuse the fact that he's doing a lot of bad.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:24

Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I I can overthrow him. And together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be.

SPEAKER_14 1:47:38

I don't believe what I'm hearing. Obi-Wan was right, you've changed.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:42

I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me.

SPEAKER_14 1:47:48

I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:54

As this we see Anakin look past Petamay and towards her new and improved shiny silver ship and sees Obi-Wan in the entranceway.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:02

Because of Obi-Wan.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:03

Because of what you've done, what you planned to do. Stop! Stop now. Come back. Come back. Come back.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:14

Rose and Titanic. You see Obi-Wan's superhero posing in the entranceway of the new and improved shiny silver ship. You see he's got his like arms on his waist like a superhero?

SPEAKER_07 1:48:25

I love you.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:26

Liar. Paname looks back and is shocked to see Obi-Wan there.

unknown 1:48:30

No!

SPEAKER_09 1:48:31

You're with him! You brought him here to kill me. Anakin starts to force choke Paname. Damn, these dark side powers come with instant power sets.

SPEAKER_16 1:48:40

Yeah, no try, just do.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:42

Let her go, Anakin. Anakin continues to choke the person he's supposed to be trying to save.

unknown 1:48:49

Anakin!

SPEAKER_09 1:48:50

Let her go. Anakin releases Paname from the force grip, and Paname crumbles to the ground as she passes out. Anakin is trying to come to grips, get it? With what he just did.

unknown 1:49:02

Shh.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:03

Then Anakin resets back into dark side mode.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:06

You turned her against me.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:08

You have done that yourself. Obi-Wan and Anakin start preparing to fight. Anakin removes his robe and starts pacing. You will not take her from me. Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. Obi-Wan disrobes. You have allowed this dark lore to twist your mind until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:28

Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:30

My very young apprentice. Sorry, I had to get one last in there.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:33

I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:37

Anakin Obi-Wan have slowly circled around during the conversation. This gives Obi-Wan a chance to check on Patame and make sure she's still alive.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:45

I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:51

Your new empire? This shot of Anakin facing the way of Obi-Wan facing him is great. You see both of their faces and emotions here at the same time, so it's got Anakin. In the front of the shot, turning his back to Obi-Wan. So you can see both Obi-Wan and Anakin's reactions at the same time. Good filmmaking.

SPEAKER_12 1:50:06

Don't make me kill you.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:08

Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!

SPEAKER_12 1:50:12

If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:15

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Really? Absolutely. Obi-Wan pulls out his lightsaber. I will do what I must. Another great line that comes back in the Obi-Wan Disney Plus show. He says that to Vader.

SPEAKER_16 1:50:28

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:50:29

Good callback.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:30

Anakin still with his back turned to Obi-Wan.

SPEAKER_12 1:50:33

You will try.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:34

Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber. Anakin backflips and ignites his lightsaber. My favorite lightsaber duel in Star Wars history has begun. Womb womb womb womb womp. It's like so incrazy how fast they're going. Like you say, it's not even sped up. It's just them doing all the work, and it's like.

SPEAKER_12 1:50:51

What a training went into it.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:52

Yeah. And you can see this is why Yoda sent Obi-Wan. No one is as powerful as Anakin. Only other person that may have been able to fight it was Mace Windu. And Windu's now gone. The only one that had a chance against him was Obi-Wan because Obi-Wan knew him so well. Knew how he fights.

SPEAKER_16 1:51:08

Yeah, he trained him.

SPEAKER_09 1:51:09

As good as Anakin is, Obi-Wan knows how to block him. So this is why they had to face each other, which I love. Like you didn't want to just have, oh let's somehow have Obi-Wan fight Anakin for no reason. No, it's because Obi-Wan trained him. Obi-Wan knows how to fight him. Obi-Wan gets beaten a couple of times, but he knows how to get back into it because he knows exactly what Anakin's about to do. As much as these prequel trillers get rubbish for the scripting and some weird ideas, I think this is brilliant from George Lucas in the way it ends up. The speed and skill on display here is insane. They spent months training for this and it really does show. The score titled Battle of the Heroes kicks in. Now I'm on the record saying that Jewel of Fate is my favourite Star Wars theme, and it is. Battle of the Heroes is up there as well. Full of emotion from the choir, just adds to the already incredible jewel. When that kicks in, you're like, oh, this has gone up again. Calter Sidious still in his little office set up in that made pod housing area from before. Yoda walks in and just force pushes the red guards into the entranceway. He just goes, whoop. That sounds like so cool. Sidious turns his chair towards Yoda. Sidious and that judge-looking alien quickly exchange looks. I hear a new apprentice you have, Emperor. Or should I call you Dar Sidious?

SPEAKER_13 1:52:24

Master Yoda, you survived.

SPEAKER_09 1:52:28

This reminds me of the 994 line king when Scar says, Simba, I'm surprised to see you alive. Surprised!

SPEAKER_10 1:52:37

Your elegance blinds you, Master Yoda. Now you will experience the full power of the dark side.

SPEAKER_09 1:52:48

Sidious uses force lightning, which surprisingly hits Yoda, sending him fine through the air and knocking them to the floor. Do you think Yoda was surprised by Sidious' power, which is why he got zapped? Or do you think Yoda was always playing Possum?

SPEAKER_16 1:53:01

I think he doesn't know the true strength of him at that time.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:05

Kind of a test, maybe in a way. Yeah, it was too quick.

SPEAKER_09 1:53:10

Cut back to Anakin and Obi-Wan jeweling on a walkway. On Mustafar, they fight their way into the nearby building where all the dead separatists are. Cut back to the Emperor and Yoda. Yoda is still on the ground. The Emperor starts walking towards them and laughing with that iconic cackle.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:26

I have waited a long time for this moment, my little green friend.

SPEAKER_09 1:53:34

As Sidious casually walks towards Yoda, one of Yoda's eyes opens up. He's selling like a WWE superstar. The Emperor laughs once more. Yoda pretends to be sore and slowly gets up.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:45

At last the Jedi are no more.

SPEAKER_09 1:53:48

Not have anything to say about it. I have. Yoda Fush pushes the Emperor away. Talking about selling the move, Sidious makes it look like the most devastating move ever. The Emperor gets thrown backwards and ends up in this chair, arse up.

SPEAKER_16 1:54:02

He gets pummeled.

SPEAKER_09 1:54:04

Not very flattering at all. At an end, your rule is the Emperor gets back up. And not short enough. It was. Yoda's smack talk. It's different here.

SPEAKER_12 1:54:14

He's mad.

SPEAKER_09 1:54:15

The Emperor flips in the air and tries to leave the room. Yoda flips as well and blocks the exit. Yoda moves his robe to reveal his lightsaber like a Western gunslinger, like he just pulls it back a little bit. If so powerful you are, why leave? Yoda grabs his saber and flicks it on like that.

SPEAKER_10 1:54:38

You will not stop me. Darth Vida will become more powerful than Ironmas.

SPEAKER_09 1:54:44

Sidious viciously turns on his lightsaber. Faith in your new apprentice misplaced? Maybe. Yoda does some saber wrist flips. As is your faith in the dark side of the force. Yoda and the Emperor Jewel. Yoda with his flippity flip style and Sidious with his long angled strikes with malicious intent. His fighting pose looks almost like he's trying to put a sword into a stone. Cow back to Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar. Their epic jewel continues. Anakin grabs Obi-Wan by the throat and tries to bring Obi-Wan's own lightsaber to his neck. Obi-Wan has to kick Anakin up the butt to get him off. Anakin also does a flying drop kick. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_16 1:55:22

Is that when they're on the table? Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:55:24

Yeah. And they say wrestling's fake. Obi-Wan does his own mid-kick to the gut on Anakin. It's great to see that this is more of a fight for survival than a traditional lightsaber battle. Anakin force grabs his lightsaber back and goes to execute Anakin on a table. Anakin force grabs his own lightsaber to block it. Cut back to Yoda and the Emperor. They are now dueling in the Chancellor's Senate pod as it rises up into the Senate arena. Seeing the jewel in the Senate chambers is awesome. The scale is immense. Cut back to Anakin and Obi-Wan. They are intensely battling with their lightsabers. Like really intense, close action and super fast. They also do this cool but highly unnecessary lightsaber sim assaulting thing. Like they're on an exhibition nunchuck show.

SPEAKER_16 1:56:04

Don't they do some spinny stuff as well? And they're like, and like just 360. Yeah. And you're like, what was that for? Well the Separatists are dead.

SPEAKER_09 1:56:12

They're not gonna be like, oh well done. Hey 10. They both try to use the force on each other, but they cancel each other out. This results in both of them being thrown to either side of the room. Anakin quickly gets back to Obi-Wan, but hits a control panel as he does, which unstabilizes the mining systems on Mustafa.

SPEAKER_16 1:56:31

Had to be that one panel.

SPEAKER_09 1:56:33

Don't press this one button, alright? This is one button, do not press. And he does. An alerta can be seen on the screens as the alarm goes off.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:41

Whoop, whoop, whoop.

SPEAKER_09 1:56:42

Obi-Wan goes out the door. Anakin follows. Let's take this outside. On a lava-filled planet. I find it weird that in Star Wars most planets only have one climate for the whole entire planet. Whether it be a full forest planet or a full desert or snow or lava, etc. None seem to have multiple climates like Earth.

SPEAKER_16 1:57:00

It does make sense though for Mustafa, because if you think about how planets form, they start in a liquid. Like this is an early planet.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:09

Very true.

SPEAKER_16 1:57:10

Only like a million years old or so. Yeah, this is before it's cooled.

SPEAKER_09 1:57:14

Before the dinosaurs arrive. Yep.

SPEAKER_14 1:57:16

Not the mama.

SPEAKER_09 1:57:19

Honey, I'm home. Jewel of Fate starts to play as Anakin Obi-Wan continue drawing on an outside walkway. Count back to Yoda and Sidious fighting in the Senate arena. The Emperor starts force throwing Senate pods at Yoda. Yoda has to use the five D's. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge to avoid the flying pods. He so does. Yoda starts using the flying pods like a video game platformer, climbing each one to try and reach the Emperor, but Yoda is unsuccessful and has to settle for a lower level position.

SPEAKER_16 1:57:50

It basically becomes uncharted.

SPEAKER_09 1:57:52

We're just jumping from pod to pod. Yoda decides to put away his lightsaber. Yoda uses the force to stop a hurling pod in its tracks, getting it spinning to gain momentum, then throws it back at Sidious. The Emperor jumps out of the way and down to a lower level pod. Yoda jumps up and meets Sidious on the same pod, his lightsaber back in his hands. The Emperor starts using forced lightning, which zaps Yoda's lightsaber to the depths below. Yoda is using his incredible force strength to contain the forced lightning attack. Camera zooms in into Yoda's eyes. This is where the fun begins. Yoda slams a forced lightning ball at Sidious, knocking him over and onto the edge of the pod. Yoda falls down from the pod too, from the momentum caused from this counter. He lands hard back onto the Chancellor's main pod, desperately trying to grip onto the smooth edging light. You see his claws? Trying to claw it? He's like, oh. His nails scraping on the tips of the pod before falling once more. Yoda loses his robe and lands hard on the bottom of the arena floor. When his robe is hanging off one of the pods. You know what it reminds me of that no one else will ever think of? Superman 4, the quest for peace. When Superman gets scratched by nuclear man with his nasty nails. He scratches his neck and his cape gets caught, and then in the paper it shows Superman's cape hanging. It's like, ah, just like Yodo in episode three.

SPEAKER_16 1:59:05

Interesting. Yeah, nobody would think of that.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:07

Nobody does it, man. The Emperor is cackling. As he hangs onto the pod from way above. He's always laughing in this.

SPEAKER_12 1:59:15

Yeah. He's like, I've won.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:18

It's like in the LEGO Star Wars game with the original ones where no one talked. You still could have the Emperor when he was running around, he's just cackling all the time. Come back to Mustafar. Obi-Wan and Anakin are continuing their lightsaber jewel, now on some narrow space piping above a lava river. A flat head of flying droid is nearby. More on them later. The balance challenge while fighting here offers a unique chapter in this duel. Obi-Wan jumps down to a platform below. Anakin jumps down to join him. The fire lava wave behind Obi-Wan and Anakin here is an iconic moment in the movie. Cut back to Yoda shuffling his way through a space vent. Come out to the coast. We'll get together. Have a few laughs. Yoda talks on a space walkie. Hurry! Careful timing we will need. Organa is in a speeder on Coruscant. Activate your homework beacon when you're ready. Cut back to the center arena. Sidious is back in the Chancellor's pod, the judge-looking alien guy. Some clones rock up in the pod. There's no sign of his body, sir.

SPEAKER_10 2:00:14

Double your search.

SPEAKER_16 2:00:15

Yes, sir? Right away, sir. The Emperor talks to Judge Alien.

SPEAKER_12 2:00:18

Tell Captain Kai to prepare my shuttle for immediate takeoff. I sense Lord Vita is in danger.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:27

Cut back to Mustafar, Anakin and Obi-Wan are still fighting. They fight along a narrow walkway. As they walk, the path that they just crossed gets covered and destroyed by a wild lava spurt. Obi-Wan and Anakin jump onto a narrow window frame, looking around to see the lava erupting and causing the structures to be eradicated around them. Obi-Wan and Anakin run up a beam that is being melted by lava on the ends. They fall as a chunk of the beam falls and lands into a lava river. Cut back to Yoda, exiting the vents. He activates his homing beacon. Yoda opens up a floor outlet. Organa zooms in below. In a speeder, Yoda jumps down to meet him. Organa zooms off for Yoda. Into exile, they must go. Failed. I have. Cut back to Mustafar. Anakin and Obi-Wan are clinging on to that tower-like structure, while it slowly descends into the lava river. Perfect place to continue the lightsaber battle, hanging on with one hand while jeweling with the other. They are approaching a lava waterfall. Don't think I would ever say lava waterfall in my lifetime. Obi-Wan swings on the melting pillar. Not sure if he used his Jedi grappling rope or a loose cable or space cable, but he did. Anakin also grabs either a Jedi rope or cable. They swing and jewel at the same time, kind of like Rings event and the American gladiators. Obi-Wan spies a little piece of debris in the lava river and jumps down to it. Obi-Wan watches as Anakin and the pillow go to the edge of the lava waterfall. Anakin runs up the falling pillow and jumps on one of those flat-headed flying robots from before. Anakin must be controlling the robot as it's going exactly towards Obi-Wan. The jewel continues with Obi-Wan on that small piece of debris and Anakin on that flat head robot. This is pretty cool. They take a quick break from fighting. I have failed you, Anakin! I have failed you.

SPEAKER_12 2:02:11

I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over. Anakin!

SPEAKER_09 2:02:15

Chancellor Palpatine is evil!

SPEAKER_12 2:02:17

From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

SPEAKER_09 2:02:19

Well then you are truly lost. Obi-Wan and Anakin kindly go around. A couple of aliens working on the platform on the Lover River. They go back to preparing to duel so they're like, sorry about that, we don't want to get in your way. Oh, you're working? Oh okay, we'll leave.

SPEAKER_12 2:02:31

This is the end for you, my master.

SPEAKER_09 2:02:34

Anakin flips onto the same platform as Obi-Wan, momentarily losing his balance towards the edge. This would have been a perfect moment for Obi-Wan to strike, which he does. But Anakin is just too quick and blocks him. This close quarter jeweling is great. Obi Wan then jumps to a high point of a nearby bank of volcanic rock and ash. It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground.

SPEAKER_12 2:02:54

You underestimate my power.

SPEAKER_09 2:02:57

Don't try it! Obi-Wan's warning is sincere here. Full circle moment as what Anakin is about to do is very similar to what Obi-Wan did to defeat Darth Maul in episode one, the Phantom Menace. Anakin doesn't have the element of surprise here, and Obi-Wan knows how to defend it. Anakin jumps into the air, trying to leap over Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan slices down Anakin when his body is in the air. This causes Anakin's legs and human arm to be cut off. Anakin slips down the volcanic bank and back towards the lava river, only stopping a meter or two away. Obi-Wan looks down on the wounded Anakin and turns off his lightsaber. Anakin looks up at Obi-Wan. You were the chosen one. It was said that you would destroy the Sif, not join them. Anakin's eyes momentarily show remorse and confusion. Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness. Obi-Wan starts walking up the volcanic bank, a bit more to grab Anakin's lightsaber that continues up the bank. I hate you. There's such malice when he says that I hate you, like absolute contempt, and it's like, oh powerful. You're my brother, Anakin! I loved you. Anakin's amputated legs then catch fire from the nearby lava, quickly engulfing them in flames. Obi-Wan watches on, hearing the torturous screams of Anakin as he burns alive. You would think being a Jedi that Obi-Wan would have put Anakin out of his misery, maybe a gentle force push into the lava river. And just bye. But I think this is just because Obi-Wan can't kill him. He can't do the final blow. He just can't do it. So that's why he leaves him. At first I was like, it's kind of cruel that he does it, but I think it's because Obi-Wan can't do it. No. Obi-Wan takes one last look at a now charred Anakin before walking away. Obi-Wan returns to the landing pad with a new and improved shiny silver ship is. R2 sounds sad as Anakin doesn't return with Obi-Wan. C three PO comes out of a new and improved shiny silver ship.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:45

Master Knobi. Um We have Miss Padme on board. Yes, please. Please hurry.

SPEAKER_09 2:04:52

Obi-Wan, R2, and C3PO get on board the new and improved shiny silver ship. Obi-Wan goes to check on Padame, who is still unconscious. Padame wakes up.

SPEAKER_14 2:05:03

Sound again alright.

SPEAKER_09 2:05:05

Padame drifts off again. Obi-Wan touches Padame's face. Does he use the force to knock her out again? Or does she just pass out? I don't know.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:12

It's implied, I think. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:05:14

That force choke must be really freaking powerful. Well, it's crushing our windpipe, too. So maybe after she let go, like the force of it was still swelled up her throat or something. Yeah. Space logic. Obi-Wan walks away and gets the new and improved shiny silver ship to take off. Obi-Wan is mentally exhausted from his battle with Anakin. Come back to Mustafar. Anakin's middle arm is exposed and is still moving. Yes. Anakin is still alive. Anakin uses his robo arm to drag his burnt carcass up the bank. Cut to T2-C shuttle, but I call it a triangle shuttle. Apparently called a T2-C shuttle. That's catchy. I like how the wings raise up when they land. So that's the shuttle that the Emperor has. It's like the triangle shuttle. The Emperor and some clone troopers find what is left of Anakin.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:01

He's still alive. Get a medical capsule immediately.

SPEAKER_09 2:06:05

Yes, sir. Right away. The Emperor goes down and kneels next to the burnt body of Anakin. He puts his hand on Anakin's burnt up forehead. Such a waste of talent and resources for the Sith. Seems the Emperor resents Darth Vader for the original trilogy because of this. Anakin had the potential to be great. I mean Darth Vader was still uber powerful. I mean he could hold a ship for flying away, not weak. But had Anakin not get cut up and burnt, he would have been much more powerful. Cut to a moon base. Yoda is looking out the space window. Eyes closed, reaching out through the force. Senator Olgana walks into the room. Excuse me, Master Yoda. Yoda opens his eyes and looks at Ogana. Obi-Wan Kenobi has made contact. Cut to the new and improved shiny silver ship landing on the moon base. Obi-Wan carries Padame out of the new and improved shiny silver ship and to a medical team on the moon base. Cut to a very dark, rainy corusant. Reminds me a bit of Camino. The Emperor turns in the triangle shuttle with Anakin's badly damaged body. Cut to the moon base. Yoda Obi-Wan Ugana C3POR2 and a medical robot are looking through a window at Padame, who is lying on a medical bed.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:10

Medically, she's completely healthy. For reasons we can't explain, we are losing her.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:16

Sounds like lazy writing, George.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:18

It makes no sense.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:21

She's dying.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:23

We don't know why. She has lost the will to live. We need to operate quickly if we are to save the babies.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:30

Babies?

SPEAKER_11 2:07:31

She's carrying twins.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:32

Obi-Wan starts to think, ponder, internally contemplate the situation. It transitions from Patame peacefully lying on a medical pad to Anakin violently squirming while getting poked and prodded by droids. This is a cool transitional shot where it shows both of them in pain. Mm-hmm. Both in different ways. The droids start attaching robotic legs to Anakin. The pain must be excruciating. It quickly cuts back to Patame in pain as she's giving birth. Obi-Wan is playing the role of birth dad next to her. You can hear a baby cry. Padamay cries out in pain again. The second baby is born. It's a girl. Dad Vade. Um that name is already taken, sorry. Uh Leia. Carpactachorus on that Royce is still working on Anakin. He is now wearing a black suit with a cape. A dark, smooth mask and helmet is placed on Anakin's head. Getting to see Anakin's perspective in the suit is great. So when the mask is coming down, you see all like all the computers and stuff. Real cool. And of course it's red because it's dark side. Darth Vader takes his first breath.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:39

Chills.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:40

Hayden Christensen is in the suit for this as he pleaded with George Lucas to let him do it. So it actually is him. Oh, okay. It's kind of like some request like Samuel Jackson with the purple lights over.

SPEAKER_16 2:08:49

I mean, fair cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:50

Then you can say you were in the suit. The Emperor deliberately made the Vader suit with older technology and in a way where it would be painful to wear at all times. But this would keep Anakin from re-emerging and Vader's strong connection to the dark side. So he deliberately made sure he was in pain all the time. He chose the wrong path, and guess what happened? We can't back to Padame now exhausted, but relieved that the babies are born.

SPEAKER_07 2:09:14

I know. I know that it is still.

SPEAKER_09 2:09:18

Padame is dead. Obi-Wan looks at one of the babies as Yoda sighs from behind the window. We can't back to the Vader building factory on Coruscant. Steam hisses out as the table Vader is on raises into the shock. The Emperor is next to Vader on the upright table.

SPEAKER_12 2:09:38

Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright? It seems in your anger you killed her. Aye. I couldn't have. She was alive. I felt it.

SPEAKER_09 2:09:53

The room starts to shake and the droids start to get crushed. Vader breaks out of the table, shackles like Frankenstein's monster. The Emperor grins and seeing Vader's grief. It didn't need to have that no moment. I think seeing like the whole entire room shake and bend, and then all of a sudden it comes like silence again, and just Vader just goes.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:17

That was enough.

SPEAKER_09 2:10:18

He's now completely lost himself to the dark side. That one last bit of it, which was Patame, is now gone. The joke's on him. He did this all to save Patame, and it was the reason she died. The folly of your ways. Cut to the new hope ship arriving on the boo. Senator Ogana, Yoda, and Obi-Wan are sitting in a space conference room. Hidden! Safe, the children must be kept. We must take them somewhere. Where the Sith will not sense their presence. Hmm split them up they should be.

SPEAKER_16 2:10:47

My wife and I would take the girl. We've always talked about adopting a baby girl, but she will be loved with us. And the boy.

SPEAKER_09 2:10:54

I will take him to the Dursleys and Little Winging. He will not be loved by them Um keep that in mind. To Tatawin To his family send him. I will take the child and watch over him. Until the time is right disappear we will. Organa walks out of the room. Master Kenobi, wait a moment. Obi-Wan sits back down. Performance review time. I'm thinking an F for Anakin turning to the dark side. In your solitude on Tedarwin. Training I have for you. Training? An old friend has learned the path to immortality. One who has returned from the never round of the force. I hope it's Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Your old master. Obi-Wan looks astonished. Qui Gon? More like Qui Natsagon.

SPEAKER_16 2:11:44

Very good.

SPEAKER_09 2:11:45

How to communicate with him? I will teach you. Cut to Organa in the hallway of the New Hope ship. Organa places R2 and C3PO in the care of Captain Antilles. Now this is the guy who gets choked out by Darn Vader in the beginning of New Hope. I want the plants! Oh yeah. That's Antilles. So this must be the actual ship from episode four.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:07

Good fact.

SPEAKER_09 2:12:07

Organa orders for Seth Ripio's mine to be wiped. What? Artu sounds like he giggles at this. Oh no. Got to a night service on the boo. A large crowd has turned out for Padame Almadilla's funeral. I'm guessing this is the equivalent of a state funeral since she was a former queen. So, a space state funeral. You can see Patame's body being carried through the street towards their final resting place, which looks to be a stunning and massive archway area. Patame is in a space coffin that is being carried by two space horses. Jar Jar is walking behind the space coffin, as is boss Nass from the Phantom Menace. Patame still looks pregnant, probably to help hide that the babies are still alive. Current Queen of the Boob is also there, but who is played by Kiwi actress Keisha Carshall Hughes. Padame has a necklace Anakin gave her in episode 1, The Phantom Menace in her hands. Cut to some starship cruisers out in space, can hear some TIE fighters flying around. Love that sound. Darth Vader enters the control room and walks up to the Emperor. And Governor Tarkin from Episode 4, A New Hope. Tarkin's CGI face does not look good. No. Tarkin walks away as Vader is left with the Emperor. They look to something out the window. It's the Death Star under construction. Cut to the new hope ship landing on Audoron, Organa's home planet. He takes Baby Leia with him. He shows and hands his wife their new child. Cut to Tatawine at night. Obi-Wan rides on the space camel to Anakin's relatives in the middle of the desert. A young Uncle Owen and Aunt Baru come out to meet him. Obi-Wan hands Baby Luke over to Aunt Peru. Uncle Owen's waiting up a sandrise. Aunt Baru joins him with Baby Luke so they can do the iconic look at the double sunset. Obi-Wan walks away and won't be back until his check clears for Obi-Wan Disney Plus show. End of movie. Now that we've gone through the movie, Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith, let's go to our ratings.

SPEAKER_04 2:14:02

Master Podcaster! There's too many of them. What are we going to do?

SPEAKER_09 2:14:09

Since I started the podcast of only two hosts, only two rating scores will count. It helps keep the balance in the ratings. Therefore, since there are three of us here today, my score will not count on the official charts. I'll still give you my scores, but only Ross and Tenzin's ratings will count. You might say, I'm on the council, but I have not been granted the rank of master. Let's go into our ratings. So for ratings, let's start with Story. Tenzin. What have you given Story?

SPEAKER_12 2:14:39

I've given Story a four. Out of five stars? Yeah, four out of five. I think yeah, it's really tragic to see Anakin's Fall to the Dark Side. You know, such an iconic hero. But you knew it was coming, it was inevitable. And it was good to see that trajectory of the story, but also even like the other characters as well, and the effect that Anakin's Fall has on all of the other characters is pretty heartbreaking. So but yeah, I've given it a four.

SPEAKER_16 2:15:06

And Ross, whatever given the story out of five stars, I've also gotten four. It's you know, because you're having to pigeonhole or like come into an established story, being able to satisfy all or most threads leading into the original trilogy. They did really well. They made it climactic. It follows the good beats within it fits itself as an actual movie, but within a larger story, I thought they did really well.

SPEAKER_09 2:15:33

I have also given it four stars out of five. It could have easily been a muddled mess where they try to fit everything into the final movie to try and make everything make sense. Because they did well in actually building up the problems in the first two, and yes, you might get like, ugh, it's kind of boring, all the political stuff, but because they did that well, it meant that the story in episode three was a bit more simple, a bit more heartfelt, a bit more tragic, and pays off really well. And I think I've also, as much as the acting might not be great or not, depending on how you feel, you can't underestimate the commitment that Hayden Christensen and also Ewan McGregor gave to both roles, like that three or four months, or maybe even six months of training, you only do that not just because you're paid to do it and because it's a role, but because you want to. They did such a great job, and I think that even their ending parts where they're talking to each other are the best parts of the film because the bond they have and the dedication to the role I find really comes out so story-wise, I think it really pulls off really well. So four out of five. Acting, Ross. What have you given acting out of five stars?

SPEAKER_16 2:16:35

Yeah, not great, except for a couple of like you know, you've got Ian McDermott who smashes it as Pelpatine. You just see Kristensen just kind of blandly go through the motions. Even though there might be an artistic choice, it just doesn't really look like he's doing much. And that happens for say Padme as well. Yeah, I don't know. Average three, three to five?

SPEAKER_09 2:17:00

Yep. And Tensen, what did you give an acting out of five?

SPEAKER_12 2:17:02

I've given acting three and a half, basically for similar reasons to Ross. I think yeah, George Lucas isn't known for great dialogue. And like the actors kind of had to work with what they got. But yeah, overall the acting's not particularly great. Um, apart from like, yeah, Ian McDermott is amazing as the Emperor, even like right through the the series. But yeah, as for the other characters, the actors uh they're okay, like nothing special, but yeah, three and a half.

SPEAKER_16 2:17:33

Some of the great acting comes from Yoda and he's CGI. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_09 2:17:37

I was actually gonna mention Yoda in my ones too. Three and a half out of five for Tenson. I have given it three out of five. Like you see, some of the roles have actually really well. Yo McGregor, I think, is damn outstanding in this. It may feel like it's a little bit not so good off hating Christmas when he's kind of given them kind of a little bit wooden acting sometimes, but I think McMagregor's great. Frank Oz is Yoda is great in this as well. Like it's subtlety in his performance where he's like giving the Empress sass. But it's also like, even though it's the CGI part of him like crushed, and even through his voice when he's talking to Obi-Wan and stuff later on about the kids, you see how hurt Yoda is by all this and how defeated he feels. Christensen, I'm not gonna be as harsh. I think there's some parts in this where he is feeling like he's restrained because of the Jedi in him, but there's some outbursts and stuff like the I hate you part at the end. You feel that, you see the rage in his eyes. It's like that's his full emotion finally coming out.

SPEAKER_16 2:18:30

That's like the only time though.

SPEAKER_09 2:18:32

Yeah, like I say, it's the artistic thing for George Lucas to make him be withheld and withdrawn. When he finally gets it, you're like, damn, that's what you could have got. And there were some subpar things. I I love Nellie Portman. She's not great in this, she doesn't get much to do, she's just set to the side. See, 3PO gets pretty much no lines, but yeah, everyone else around them, like Jimmy Smith, I love Jimmy Smith as well. But nothing else is special apart from Ann McDermott. He makes this movie the acting-wise, like you believe it because of him. If Ann McDermott didn't portray Sidious and Palpatine like he did, I think everything else falls apart. But because he is so good, he raises everything else. That's why I'll give it a three because there's amazing performances mixed in with meh. And when you get that, you get three, you get a balance. So, how well it holds up Tenzin. What have you given it?

SPEAKER_12 2:19:20

Well, I've given a four. I think overall, in terms of the look, it's held up pretty well. Yeah, we kind of mentioned throughout that there were some moments that probably haven't aged particularly well in terms of CG and stuff, but I think yeah, it's held up pretty well if you have four out of five.

SPEAKER_09 2:19:38

And Ross, what have you given how well it holds up?

SPEAKER_16 2:19:40

I've gone three and a half, but there are a few scenes where you can blatantly see that it's green screen and it just is quite jarring. But yeah, like considering this came out when was it? 2005. No, I was gonna say 2008. 2005. 20-year-old movie. It's still like absolutely stunning shots, and some of them are better than some of the recent series that have come out.

SPEAKER_09 2:20:01

Three and a half, not fair enough. I have given how well it holds up a four out of five, mainly because this movie has gotten better for me as it's gone on. When it first came out, it was like, oh, this is fun, this is okay, and it ends the series and now we can move on. Did it okay, and I enjoyed it. I've always enjoyed episode three, but I've learned to appreciate it more as it's gone on, as like say, I guess the clone wars and everything's come into it. I haven't watched fully the clone wars, so I can't say I'm influenced by it. But the more I watch like the sequel trilogy and everything, the more I come back and appreciate what happened in the prequels, especially Revenge of the Sith. This is gonna probably make some people angry. But Revenge of the Sith is in the original trilogy for me, is moments and emotion and just important lore that happens in Star Wars. Empire, Return of the Jedi, Revenge of the Sith, I put in the same.

SPEAKER_12 2:20:48

Yeah, I'd say it's top three out of the night. The most important one, I feel.

SPEAKER_09 2:20:52

I'd say light years ahead of Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace and that aspect of it. That's a huge improvement, yeah. But how well it holds up, I've gotten it four out of five. Yeah, it's got some dodgy CGI, so it can never be perfect. For me, it's better now than it was 20 years ago. It warrants more than above average grade. For music, Ross, what have you given that?

SPEAKER_16 2:21:09

I've gone four and a half. Music is damn good in this. It always happens with all the Star Wars films. Really, really good. They're really, really iconic. As you've said, you've got two of your favourites in here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:21:19

And Tenzin, what have you given that?

SPEAKER_12 2:21:21

I've gone five. I love the music. This score specifically is one of my favorite John Williams scores. So you have given five iconic themes, like Battle of the Heroes, as you mentioned, is what I think of when I think of Star Wars a lot of the time. Even a lot of like the Emperor's themes as well, running through. He's very subtle in terms of the music that he uses to emphasize who Palpatine really is as well.

SPEAKER_16 2:21:46

Like putting in little callbacks or like little like musical notes.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:50

The sort of Padme and Enikan's like love theme as well throughout is beautiful too. So yeah, five for me. Really good music.

SPEAKER_09 2:21:57

For me, I have given it a five stars out of five. I think it's a very, very, very, very good John Williams score. And when you're a very good John Williams score, that means you're like top echelon of musical scores because this man is a genius. Jurassic Park to Star Wars to NG Jones to Superman to Harry Potter, those are all like top echelon scores. So, like I say, the Battle of the Heroes scene at the end just completely draws you into this battle and mixed in, of course, with how good Anakin and Obi-Wan are chilling.

SPEAKER_12 2:22:28

That music just even has like March on the temple is like also a really iconic theme.

SPEAKER_09 2:22:33

And then the Phantom Menace, I kind of said I couldn't give it five because there's too many older themes coming back. But for this one, it uses the older themes as part of the story more. And what they do bring in is such a high level. No way else I could think of that could be better that scoriness than this score. Like I couldn't listen to any of this and go, oh, this could have had better music or better score. So I'm giving us the five. For visuals, iconic or amazing shots or moments. Ross, what have you given that?

SPEAKER_16 2:23:02

I've gone four. The ones that stand out to me are definitely around the turn. The order 66, Temple's gone, Youngling's gone. Then you've got the obvious the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Prior to that, earlier, you know, maybe the Senate. But yeah, it's later. It's that second half where the iconic ones come in.

SPEAKER_09 2:23:24

And Tenzin. What have you given?

SPEAKER_12 2:23:26

I've given four and a half. I think there's a lot of like visually stunning moments in Revenge of the Sith. I mentioned earlier the scene where Anakin actually turns the light and dark on his the lighting on his face. I think that that really is like perfectly done. The battle at the opening, like visually that's beautiful as well. And oh, there's so many, the in battle, even Palpatine versus Yoda as well. That's like just yeah, epic. So yeah, four and a half.

SPEAKER_09 2:23:55

I've given it a four out of five. I think some amazing shots in this as well. Like you mentioned already, the opening scene is my favorite opening scene in East Star Wars. The way it starts off is like, holy cow, this is we're in for a ride, and it's a really, really good way to start. Also have the in battle on Mustafar. It speaks for itself now that we talked about it so many times, how great that is. But even little shots like the one where it zooms in where they're crashing the ship, or the shot when Anakin's has his back turned to Obi-Wan seeing both emotions. There are some shots that are taken here that is I look at this and go, Well, there's so many good moments that I can remember from the scene. Yoda in the Senate arena when he's hanging on to the edge of the thing, but he can't. It might not meant to be, and it probably isn't. I'm probably looking too much into it, but it's like a metaphor for the Jedi's grip on the Senate. They've lost it.

SPEAKER_16 2:24:39

He was hanging on to it, and then it's probably exactly how it's meant.

SPEAKER_09 2:24:45

That's the sort of stuff that, and also, of course, Superman 4 Cape. Windu by the window. From Anakin's interpretation, Windu is looking over Palpatine, he's putting his power over him. When Palpatine is pretending to be weak, Anakin's point of view is the Jedi uh trying to outmuscle.

SPEAKER_12 2:25:03

Very true.

SPEAKER_09 2:25:04

So it's another shot choice. Whenever you see the shots in there, I'm pretty sure pretty much every shot shows you Windu from Palpatine's point of view where he's looking up, Windu's looking down at them. So those sort of shots I think are really good. I won't give it a five because there's also just some other shots that are just bland and not great. Not perfect, but there is a lot of great shots in this that I have to give it a four out of five. Even though my points don't count. So we'll add up a total, we'll find out what the NDIHB chance will have for Star Wars episode three, Revenge of Assist. For story, I gave it four for story. For acting, I gave it three, for how well it holds up, I gave it four. For music, I gave it five, and for visuals, I gave it four, which gives me a twenty out of twenty-five stars. Ross?

SPEAKER_16 2:25:47

Uh for story four, acting three, how well it holds up, three and a half, music four and a half, visuals four, and that gives it nineteen.

SPEAKER_09 2:25:56

Nineteen and tenson?

SPEAKER_12 2:25:58

Mine was four for story, three point five for acting, four for how well it holds up, five for music, four and a half for visuals. So twenty-one.

SPEAKER_09 2:26:07

So nineteen and twenty-one. That adds it to forty out of a possible fifty stars.

SPEAKER_16 2:26:14

Solid four out of five.

SPEAKER_09 2:26:15

So for 40 stars on the NDIB charts, that puts Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith, and 14th equal with Scott Pilgrim vs. the world. 14th equal. That's not bad. Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. It's easily the best Star Wars we've reviewed so far.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:32

We haven't done the original trilogy.

SPEAKER_16 2:26:34

Beats the Mask.

SPEAKER_09 2:26:35

It beats the Mask of Jim Carrey. Beats Stargate Ross by half a point. Yeah. Legally Blonde, it beats by one point. We've done recently. So I think 40 stars out of a possible 50, 14th equal, is a pretty good place for Revenge of the Sith. For a movie that's not perfect, but also pretty darn good.

SPEAKER_16 2:26:52

Yeah, I got 79% on Rod and Tomato, so.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:56

Pretty accurate, I think.

SPEAKER_16 2:26:57

As film critics, we are vindicated.

SPEAKER_09 2:27:00

We've completed our ratings for Star Wars episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. Tenzin, any final thoughts about Revenge of the Sith?

SPEAKER_12 2:27:07

Oh, basically what I've already said it's an important film in the series. You know, seeing Anakin's Fall. Yeah, I think it's a movie that I'll keep coming back to, just as a Star Wars fan. Depending on mood, obviously, because it's pretty tragic. It's an important film, and yeah, especially in Ross, any final thoughts?

SPEAKER_16 2:27:28

This is how it gets done. You know, if you want to come into an established set of stories, this is how you do it. And what they should have done for the sequels. Damn it. Iconic lines, iconic places. Ties it up in the neat bow. If there is another time where I'm like, right, I'm gonna go through the whole series again, I'll be looking forward to this one.

SPEAKER_09 2:27:48

Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith, is one of my favorite Star Wars movies. Yes, up there with The Empire Strikes Back. Is it a perfect film? No, certainly not. But what it does well, it does on a grand scale. The setup from the previous two prequel films have helped set up Revenge of the Sith to deliver an entertaining yet tragic experience. Ross Tenzin, thank you for joining me.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:13

Thanks for having me. Yeah, it's been a pleasure.

SPEAKER_09 2:28:15

It's where the fun ends, I guess, not begins. And thank you for listening. Remember, some others may do it better, but nobody did nobody does it, Bennett. Take care. I can't even say my own lines right.

SPEAKER_06 2:28:29

It's the end of the show. And now it's time to go.
