Synopsis:
After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the already
faltering Republic nearly to the point of collapse. On Coruscant,
the Senate watches anxiously as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
aggressively strips away more and more constitutional liberties in
the name of safeguarding the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their
fellow Masters grapple with the Chancellor's disturbing move to
assume control of the Jedi Council. And Anakin Skywalker, the
prophesied Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force, is
increasingly consumed by his fear that his secret love, Senator
Padme Amidala, will die.
As the combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an
explosive endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy
the dreaded Separatist military leader, General Grievous; Palpatine,
eager to secure even greater control, subtly influences public
opinion to turn against the Jedi; and a conflicted Anakin -
tormented by unspeakable visions - edges dangerously closer to the
brink of a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth
Sidious, whose shadow looms ever larger, to strike the final
staggering blow against the Republic... and to ordain a fearsome new
Sith Lord: Darth Vader. |
