Storyline

It is three years after the Clone Wars. The leader of the droid army, General Grievous, has captured Chancellor Palpatine on board his ship, the Invisible Hand. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker must fly through Coruscant safely, and enter the Invisible Hand so that they can rescue the captive Chancellor. Just when Palpatine is about to be released, Count Dooku shows up. Obi-Wan and Anakin both battle it out with him, but Obi-Wan ends up unconscious. Anakin slices off his head and kills him. Anakin carries Obi-Wan, and Palpatine follows him. They meet General Grievous face to face, and Anakin tries to fly the last half of the ship so that they can safely land on Coruscant. Later, Palpatine starts acting strange, constantly manipulating Anakin into believing that the Jedi Council is against him. Eventually, it is found out that he is the Dark Lord of the Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu fights him... Written by Super Slash

Trivia

The opening shot of the film lasts 76 seconds after the disappearance of the opening crawl, the longest of any Star Wars film. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The button Padme pushes to start her ship near the end of the film is the same "magic" button that has two functions in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. It's shot in exactly the same way and is a deliberate joke. See more »
