Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith quotes

Page 1 of 10

Master Windu, I must to talk to you.

Skywalker. We just received word that Obi-Wan has destroyed General Grievous. We are on our way to make sure the chancellor returns emergency power back to the Senate.

He won't give up his power. I've just learned a terrible truth. I think Chancellor Palpatine 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. He's been trained to use the dark side.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Then our worst fears have been realized. We must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive.

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

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 judgement.

I must go, master.

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.

Yes, master.

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

Have you ever considered that 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 we've been fighting to destroy?

I don't believe that, and you're sounding like a Separatist.

What this war represents is 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.

Don't ask me to do that.

You wanted to see me, Chancellor.

Chancellor Palpatine

Yes, Anakin. Come closer, I have good news. Our Clone Intelligence Units have discovered the location of General Grievous. He's hiding, in the Utapau system.

At last! We'll be able to capture that monster and end this war.

Chancellor Palpatine

I would worry about the collective wisdom of the Council if they didn't select you for this assignment. You are the best choice, by far. Sit down. 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.

Chancellor Palpatine

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--

Chacellor Palpatine

Anakin. Search your feelings. You know, don't you?

I know they don't trust you.

Chancellor Palpatine

Or the Senate. Or the Republic. Or democracy, for that matter.

I have to admit, my trust in them has been shaken.

Chacellor Palpatin

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 know what to say.

Chancellor Palpatine

Remember back to your early teachings, Anakin. All those who gain power are afraid to lose it. Even the Jedi.

The Jedi use their power for good.

Chancellor Palpatine

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 inward, only about themselves.

Chancellor Palpatine

And the Jedi don't?

The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others.

Chancellor Palpatine

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

Chancellor Palpatine

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 midi-chlorians to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side that he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying.

He could actually... save people from death?

Chancellor Palpatine

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

What happened to him?

Chancellor Palpatine

He became so powerful, 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. And then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death... but not himself.

Is it possible to learn this power?

Chancellor Palpatine

Not from a Jedi.

I saw your ship. What are you doing out here?

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

What things?

He said you turned to the dark side. That you... killed younglings.

Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.

He cares about us.

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

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

At what cost? You're a good person, don't do this!

I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I've become more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of. And I'm doing it for you, to protect you.

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

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 can overthrow him. And together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be.

[steps away]

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Obi-Wan was right. You've changed.

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

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

Because of Obi-Wan?

Because of what you've done! What you plan to do. Stop, stop now. Come back. I love you!

[seeing Obi-Wan]

LIAR!

You're with him! You brought him here to kill me! [begins to choke Padme]

No, Anakin--

Let her go, Anakin!

Anakin...

LET HER GO!

[Anakin releases Padm?, who collapses]

You turned her against me!

You have done that yourself.

You will not take her from me!

Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this "Dark Lord" to twist your mind until now... until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.

Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire!

Your new empire?

Don't make me kill you...

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

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

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.

You will try.

Emperor Palpatine

Lord Vader, can you hear me?

Yes, Master. Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?

Emperor Palpatine

It seems, that in your anger, you killed her.

I... I couldn't have. She was alive! I felt it!

[In his anguish, Vader damages several surrounding objects and droids through the Force. He then breaks the clamps that have been holding him down and takes a few steps forward. Palpatine watches, grinning cruelly.]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ah, yes... the negotiator, General Kenobi. We've been waiting for you.

Battle Droid

Excuse me. [Takes Anakin's and Obi Wan's lightsabers from them]

[Angrily snatches the lightsabers from the droid]

That wasn't much of a rescue.

Battle Droid
[sarcastically]

You're welcome.

And [coughs] Anakin Skywalker. I was expecting someone of your reputation to be a little... older.

General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected.

[coughs]

Jedi scum.

We have a job to do, Anakin. Try not to upset him.

Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection.

Not this time. And this time, you won't escape.
