The council distrusts Palpatine and wants Anakin to spy on him Palpatine wants Anakin to spy on the council. There is a close call in an elevator shaft, but where are the guards and the security systems? And why, for that matter, does a deep space cruiser need an observation tower, when every porthole opens on to the universe? But never mind.īack within the sphere of the Jedi Council, Anakin finds that despite his heroism, he will not yet be named a Jedi Master. In the spirit of all the "Star Wars" movies, this rescue sequence flies in the face of logic, since the two pilots are able to board Grievous' command ship and proceed without much trouble to the ship's observation tower, where the chancellor is being held. Grievous (whose voice, by Matthew Woods, sounds curiously wheezy considering the general seems to use replacement parts).
As Yoda sadly puts it in his inimitable word order: "The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader."Īs "Episode III" opens, Anakin Skywalker ( Hayden Christensen) and his friend Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor) are piloting fighter craft, staging a daring two-man raid to rescue Chancellor Palpatine ( Ian McDiarmid). What we discover in "Episode III" is how and why Anakin lost his way - how a pleasant and brave young man was transformed into a dark, cloaked figure with a fearsome black metal face. That Anakin Skywalker abandoned the Jedi and went over to the dark side is known to all students of "Star Wars." That his twins Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia would redeem the family name is also known.
