At the same time, Sidious executes Order 66, an apparently pre-programmed contingency or trigger within all clone troopers to kill the Jedi fighting alongside them.  Every single one obeys, and almost every Jedi is killed.  Two of the survivors are Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda, who with the help of his Wookiee friends escapes Kashyyyk.

Sidious makes an announcement to the Senate that, in light of the Jedi "betrayal"--the attack on him that transformed him used as physical evidence--he is using his powers to transform the Republic into an Empire.  After returning to the Chancellor, Vader is given his next mission: kill the civilian leaders of the Separatist movement, headquarted on Malastare.  He no longer needs the war to motivate the citizenry, as he has all the political power he'll ever need.

Obi-Wan and Yoda return to Coruscant and battle their way into the temple, attempting to find out what happened.  Obi-Wan finds bodies of Younglings--the youngest Jedi--with [[lightsaber]] burns, and wonders who would have killed them.  He goes to find Yoda in the security section.  Yoda asks him not to review a particular holo-record of the battle, even though it shows what happens.  Obi-Wan does anyway...and sees Anakin dueling with a Jedi.

Anakin tells Padme he'll be leaving for a short while, heading to Malastare, and promises to return.  Padme notices he is behaving oddly, but he insists he's all right.

Yoda and Obi-Wan realize that Anakin Skywalker is lost to them.  Obi-Wan goes to tell Padme, whom he knows is still quite close with Anakin.  She is horrified, even beyond what he expected, when he tells her of his killing children...and realizes suddenly that her child must be Anakin's.  He apologizes to her, and says he's doing what he must, and she tells him where Anakin went.

Malastare proves to be a volcanic world, where structures only survives because of heavy heat-shielding.  Sidious is telling the Separatists that he is sending his apprentice, "Darth Vader", to repay them for their help.  Vader enters, and slaughters them without mercy, not even speaking as they beg for their lives.

On Coruscant, Yoda challenges Sidious.  Their fight soon leaves his office and heads to the Senate chamber.

Padme's ship arrives on Malastare, and the Senator goes to plead with her husband, asking him if it's true he massacred the young Jedi.  When he admits it, she says he's gone too far, and she won't be able to be with him anymore.  Obi-Wan chooses this moment to make his appearance, and Vader assumes the two are having an affair; he chokes his wife with the Force until Obi-Wan intervenes.  Shocked at what he's done, Anakin lashes out at Obi-Wan.

In the Senate Chamber, Palpatine and Yoda duel with everything they have, including the scenery, throwing the Senates' pods at each other, clashing with lightsabers, striking out with telekinetic and lightning blasts.  It comes to a draw that favors Palpatine, with a blast going awry and knocking Yoda  off his platform to fall far below.  He crawls through ducts, aided by his small size, to escape--and goes off with Bail Organa, deciding that since he can't beat Palpatine, he has to go into exile.  Sidious tells his majordomo to ready his ship--he senses danger for Darth Vader.

Vader and Obi-Wan battle across the Malastare facility, dodging lava flows, climbing towers, and proving even more evenly matched than Yoda and Palpatine were.  Obi-Wan fights mainly on the defensive, as he did against Grievous, using any gap in the fighting to ask Anakin why he did it, and admitting his own faults as a teacher.  Vader is relentless, showing no mercy.  Finally, Obi-Wan finds unassailable footing, and when Anakin tries to dislodge him, Obi-Wan cuts off his remaining organic arm and both his legs.  Anakin falls perilously close to the river of lava, and the heat causes his clothing and hair to burst into flame.  Even as he burns, Vader screams out his hate for Obi-Wan, who tearfully apologizes, taking Anakin's lightsaber, and leaving his onetime friend for dead.

Obi-Wan takes Padme back aboard her vessel, and the two leave.  Palpatine arrives not moments later, and sets about aiding the horribly wounded Vader, returning to Coruscant.
