Plot
Starting where the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series ended, the story centers on a besieged Coruscant, where the Separatist droid army is attempting to flee with the captured Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, while engagind in an aerial combat against the Clone army. Jedi Knights Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are sent on a rescue mission, set to board General Grievous' ship where the Chancellor is held. After a tumultuous entry, Anakin and Obi Wan arrive to a chamber where Palpatine sits, handcuffed. In there, both Jedi Knights face off the Sith Lord Count Dooku, where Kenobi is left unconscience and Skywalker wins. After Palpatine orders him to kill Dooku, he obeys. After meeting the second in command of the Droid army and the Chancellor's abductor, General Grievous, the ship is heavily damaged. Greivous flees while Skywalker, an alert Kenobi, their droid companion, R2D2 and Palpatine are forced to crash land on the planet. Palpatine sets to return as active Chancellor and the Jedi Knights part ways for the time. Anakin then meets with his secret wife, Padmé Amidala, and she reveals him that she is pregnant. Anakin recieves this news with mixed emotions.
After being reinstated in his chambers, Palaptine appoints Anakin as his personal assistant and to inform him of all of the Jedi Council's activities. This sets the Council's suspicions, and they later appoint Anakin the dual task of monitor the Chancellor. This is seen as high treason. Later, Palpatine orders the Jedi Council to persecute and terminate Grievous in the Outer Rim system of Utapau in order to end the Clone Wars for good. Obi Wan Kenobi is sent, to Anakin's resentment. This triggers a conspiracy that ends revealing the birth of the Empire...
depicting the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Set nineteen years before Episode IV, it was heavily criticized for its political overtones. Anakin Skywalker's declaration to Padme that, "You're either with me or you are my enemy" was interpreted as a dig at President Bush, and the fall of the Republic is seen as allegory for the rise of the American Empire.
