Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

This is where the fun begins.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
(after being insulted by General Grievous)

General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

Something's happening. I'm not the Jedi I should be. I want more... and I know I shouldn't.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

Obi-Wan and the council don't trust me.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

What have I done?[He tried to stop Windus purple blade but cut off his hand instead] I will do... whatever you ask. Just help me save Padme's life. I can't live without her... I pledge myself to your teachings...

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

LIAR!! YOU ARE WITH HIM! (He force crush on Padme)

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

You turned her against me!

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

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

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

I will not betray the Republic.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

The Jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me!

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

This is the end for you, my master...

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

...and from my prospective, the jedi are evil!

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

You underestimate my power!

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

Don't make me kill you...

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

Yes master. Where is Padme? Is she safe? How could I? SHE WAS ALIVE! I FELT IT!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! He Force screams till that scream was heared across the Galaxy.

Anakin Skywalker

Master, General Grievous' ship is dead ahead. The one crawling with vulture droids.

Oh, I see it. This is going to be easy.

Anakin Skywalker

The General's command ship is dead ahead.

Well, have you noticed the shields are still up?!

Anakin Skywalker

Sorry, Master.

This time we will do it together.

Anakin Skywalker

I was about to say that.

Get help. You're no match for him, he's a Sith Lord.

[turns and smiles]

Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our speciality.

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

You won't get away this time, Dooku.

I've been looking forward to this.

Anakin Skywalker

My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.

Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

[Anakin has Dooku on his knees. Having cut off Dooku's hands and caught his lightsaber, Anakin is about to finish the job] [joyful]

Good, Anakin, good. [suddenly turns sinister] Kill him. Kill him now. [Dooku looks shocked]

Anakin Skywalker
[hesitates]

...I shouldn't.

[Angrily]

Do it.

[Anakin decapitates Dooku]

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

Anakin Skywalker

Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner. 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. It wasn't the first time, Anakin. Remember what you told me about your mother and the Sand People?

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker
[The back of Grievous's flagship breaks off. Artoo beeps]

We lost something.

Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship.

Anakin Skywalker

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?

Anakin Skywalker

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?

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

Don't ask me to do that.

Allow this appointment lightly, the Council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.

Anakin Skywalker

I understand.

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

Anakin Skywalker

... What? How can you do this?! This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be on the council and not be a master?!

Take a seat, young Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker

Forgive me, Master.

The Council wants you to report on all of the Chancellor's dealings. They want to know what he's up to.

Anakin Skywalker

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

We are at war, Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

I don't think--

Chacellor Palpatine

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

Anakin Skywalker

I know they don't trust you.

Chancellor Palpatine

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

Anakin Skywalker

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?

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.

Chancellor Palpatine

And the Jedi don't?

Anakin Skywalker

The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others.

Chancellor Palpatine

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

Anakin Skywalker

No.

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

Is it possible to learn this power?

Chancellor Palpatine

Not from a Jedi.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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?

Anakin Skywalker

Yes. The one we've been looking for.

How do you know this?

Anakin Skywalker

He knows the ways of the Force. He's been trained to use the dark side.

Are you sure?

Anakin Skywalker

Absolutely.

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

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

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.

Anakin Skywalker

Yes, master.

You are under arrest my lord!
Ani. I told you it would come to this. The JEDI ARE TAKING OVER!
THE OPPRESSION OF THE SITH WILL NEVER RETURN! YOU HAVE LOST!
NO! NO YOU WILL DIE!
HES A TRAITOR!
HE IS THE TRAITOR AH!
I HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE THE ONE YOU LOVE! YOU MUST CHOOSE ANAKIN!
DONT LISTEN TO HIM ANI!
I CANT HOLD OUT ANY LONGER!
I AM GOING TO END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
YOU CANT! HE MUST STAND TRIAL!
HE HAS CONTROL OVER THE SENATE AND THE COURTS! HES TO DANGEROUS TO BE KEPT ALIVE!
THATS NOT THE JEDI WAY! HE MUST LIVE! I NEED HIM! NO!
POWER! UNLIMITED POWER!
What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
You are fufiling your destiny ani. Become my Apprentice. LEARN TO USE THE DARK SIDE!
I WILL OBEY YOU MY MASTER! JUST help me save Padmes life. I cant live without her.
GOOD!

Anakin Skywalker

I pledge myself... to your teachings.

Good. Good. ...The Force is strong with you! A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... Vader.

Darth Vader

Thank you, my master.
Because the Council did not trust you, I believe you're the only Jedi with no knowledge of this plot. When the Jedi learn what has transpired here, they will kill us, along with all the Senators.
I AGREE! THEIR NEXT MOVE WILL BE AGAINST THE SENATE!
Every single Jedi, including your friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic.
We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, there will be civil war without end.
First, I want you to go to Jedi Temple. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.
Their betrayal will be dealt with. After you have killed all the Jedi in the temple, go to the Mustafar system, wipe out Viceroy Gunray and the other separatist leaders. Once more, the Sith will rule the Galaxy. And... we shall have... peace.

Darth Vader

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

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

Darth Vader

What things?

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

Darth Vader

Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.

He cares about us.

Darth Vader

Us?

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

Darth Vader

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!

Darth Vader

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.

Darth Vader

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.

Darth Vader

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.

Darth Vader

Because of Obi-Wan?

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

Darth Vader
[seeing Obi-Wan]

LIAR!

Darth Vader

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!

Darth Vader
[Anakin releases Padm?, who collapses]

You turned her against me!

You have done that yourself.

Darth Vader

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.

Darth Vader

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?

Darth Vader

Don't make me kill you...

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

Darth Vader

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

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

Darth Vader

You will try.

I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you.

Darth Vader

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

Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!

Darth Vader

From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!

Well then, you are lost!

You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!

Darth Vader

I HATE YOU!

You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you!

Emperor Palpatine

Lord Vader, can you hear me?

Darth Vader

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

Emperor Palpatine

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

Darth Vader

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

Darth Vader
[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!!!
