Quotes about Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: We knew that Padmé was going to be pregnant through the whole film, and nobody in the outside world could know that. Because she's pregnant, I wanted a soft quality to be apparent in the fabrics that were used.

Quotes about Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: Anakin, as Skywalker, as a human being, was going to be extremely powerful, but he ended up losing his arms and a leg and became partly a robot. So a lot of his ability to use the Force, a lot of his powers, are curbed at this point, because, as a living form, there's not that much of him left. So his ability to be twice as good as the Emperor disappeared, and now he's maybe 20 percent less than the Emperor. So that isn’t what the Emperor had in mind. He wanted this really super guy, but that got derailed by Obi-Wan. So he finds that, with Luke, he can get a more primo version if he can turn Luke to the Dark Side. You'll see, as this goes on, Luke is faced with the same issues and practically the same scenes that Anakin is faced with. Anakin says yes and Luke says no.

Quotes about Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: This one is a little tougher, and I think children, young children especially, should be warned that this is not your average Star Wars. It's a lot darker. There's a lot more scary stuff in it. It's brutal in places, and they should be aware of that. And at least if it does come out to be a PG-13, the parents are warned to be careful of bringing tiny little kids, like five and six years old, because it might be too much. Know your kids. I have three kids—they’re all grown up now—but when they were six, I knew what I could take them to and couldn't. People think Star Wars is extremely innocent, although we do cut a lot of people in half and cut off a lot of arms.

Quotes about Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: This first trilogy is really about the father, the struggles of a father, or a man, basically, to find himself, and at the same time fall into a trap of wanting certain powers, making a pact with the devil and basically spending the rest of his life regretting it.

Quotes about Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: Obviously, fans would love to see a movie about Darth Vader running around killing people. I'm not telling that story, and I'm not interested in that. That's not what the movie is.

Yoda: Hidden, safe, the children must be kept.

Obi-Wan: We must take them somewhere where the Sith will not sense their presence.

Yoda: Hmm... Split up, they should be.

Bail: My wife and I will take the girl. We've always talked of adopting a baby girl. She will be loved with us.

Obi-Wan: And what of the boy?

Yoda: To Tatooine. To his family, send him.

Obi-Wan: I will take the child and watch over him.

Yoda: [Senator Organa and Obi-Wan bow and start to leave] Until the time is right, disappear, we will. Master Kenobi, wait a moment. In your solitude on Tatooine, training, I have for you.

Obi-Wan: Training?

Yoda: An old friend has learned the path to immortality. One who has returned from the netherworld of the Force... Your old master.

Obi-Wan: [surprised] Qui-Gon?

Yoda: How to commune with him, I will teach you.

Sidious: Lord Vader, can you hear me?

Vader: Yes, master. Where is Padmè? Is she safe? Is she all right?

Sidious: It seems, in your anger, you... killed her.

Vader: [Vader begins to growl in rage and anguish as the room is destroyed by the Force. He breaks free from the stretcher. Sidious smiles evilly] I... I couldn't have. She was alive! I felt it!! NOOO!!!!!

Obi-Wan: It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!

Vader: You underestimate my power!

Obi-Wan: Don't try it.

Obi-Wan: [anguished; picks up Anakin's lightsaber before stopping to look back at Vader] 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!

Vader: I HATE YOU!!!

Obi-Wan: [Vader, now too close to the lava river, catches on fire. Obi-Wan leaves and heads back to Padmé's ship] You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.

Obi-Wan: I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you.

Vader: I should've known the Jedi were plotting to take over!

Obi-Wan: Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!

Vader: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!

Obi-Wan: Well then, you are lost!

Vader: [after a long pause] This is the end for you, my master.

Yoda: I hear a new apprentice you have, Emperor... or, should I call you Darth Sidious?

Sidious: Master Yoda. You survived.

Yoda: Surprised?

Sidious: [fires Force lightning at Yoda, sending him flying across the room, rendering him unconscious; the scene cuts to the intensifying lightsaber duel between Vader and Obi-Wan on Mustafar as they battle each other, barging their way into the control room which is littered with the dead bodies of Nute Gunray and the other Separatists; scene cuts again to Darth Sidious on Coruscant as he laughs at the unconscious form of Yoda menacingly; laughs maniacally as Yoda regains consciousness] Your arrogance blinds you, Master Yoda. Now you will experience the full power of the dark side! I have waited a long time for this moment, my little green friend. At last, the Jedi are no more!

Yoda: [uses the Force to throw Sidious across the room; Sidious tries to run, but Yoda blocks his way; activates his green lightsaber] Not if anything to say about it, I have! At an end, your rule is... and not short enough, it was. If so powerful, you are... why leave?

Sidious: [activates his red lightsaber] You will not stop me. Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us!

Yoda: Faith in your new apprentice, misplaced, may be. As is your faith in the dark side of the Force!

Vader: [to Padmé] I saw your ship. What are you doing out here?

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

Vader: What things?

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

Vader: Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.

Padmé: He cares about us.

Vader: Us?

Padmé: [Vader suddenly smiles] He knows. He wants to help you. Anakin, all I want is your love.

Vader: Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that.

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

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.

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

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

Padmé: [steps away] I don't believe what I'm hearing. Obi-Wan was right. You've changed.

Vader: [becoming angry] I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me.

Padmé: [begins to break down in tears] I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow!

Vader: Because of Obi-Wan?

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

Vader: [sees Obi-Wan] LIAR!!!

Padmé: No!

Vader: [begins to Force-choke Padmé] You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!

Padmé: [grabs her throat] No!

Obi-Wan: Let her go, Anakin!

Padmé: [gasping] Anakin...

Obi-Wan: Let... her... go!

Vader: You turned her against me!

Obi-Wan: [Vader removes his robe and paces] You have done that yourself!

Vader: You will not take her from me!

Obi-Wan: [removes his robe and walks around his former apprentice] 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.

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!

Obi-Wan: Your new Empire?!

Vader: Don't make me kill you.

Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!

Vader: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!

Obi-Wan: [pulls out his lightsaber] Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.

Vader: You will try.

Obi-Wan: I'm looking for Anakin. When was the last time you saw him?

Padmé: Yesterday.

Obi-Wan: Do you know where he is now?

Padmé: No. He wouldn't tell me.

Obi-Wan: Padmé, I need your help. He is in grave danger.

Padmé: From the Sith?

Obi-Wan: From himself. Padmé, Anakin has turned to the dark side.

Padmé: [shocked] You're wrong! How could you even say that?

Obi-Wan: I have seen a... a security hologram of him... killing younglings.

Padmé: Not Anakin! He couldn't...

Obi-Wan: [Padmé walks away from Obi-Wan] He was deceived by a lie. We all were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice.

Padmé: [sits down] I don't believe you. I can't.

Obi-Wan: Padmé, I must find him.

Padmé: You're going to kill him, aren't you?

Obi-Wan: He has become a very great threat.

Padmé: I can't...

Obi-Wan: [Padmé looks away; walks away as he heads to his ship] Anakin is the father, isn't he? I'm so sorry.

Obi-Wan: [after witnessing Vader killing the younglings] I can't watch anymore.

Yoda: Destroy the Sith, we must.

Obi-Wan: Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin.

Yoda: To fight this Lord Sidious, strong enough, you are not.

Obi-Wan: But Anakin... he is like my brother. I cannot do it.

Yoda: Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone, he is, consumed by Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan: I do not know where the Emperor has sent him. I don't know where to look.

Yoda: Use your feelings, Obi-Wan, and find him, you will.

Sidious: Because the Council did not trust you, my young apprentice, I believe you are 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.

Vader: I agree. The Council's next move will be against the Senate.

Sidous: Every single Jedi, including your friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic.

Vader: I understand, Master.

Sidious: We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off-balance. Do what must be done, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate; show no mercy. Only then, will you be strong enough with the dark side to save Padmé.

Vader: What about the other Jedi spread across the galaxy?

Sidious: 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.

Anakin: [remorsefully] What have I done?

Darth Sidious: You're fulfilling your destiny, Anakin. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the dark side of the Force.

Anakin: I will do whatever you ask.

Sidious: Good!

Anakin: Just help me save Padmé's life. I can't live without her.

Sidious: To cheat death is the power only one has achieved. But if we work together, I know we can discover the secret.

Anakin: I pledge myself to your teachings... to the ways of the Sith.

Sidious: Good. Good! The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Anakin Skywalker, you are one with the order of the Sith Lords. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... Vader.

Darth Vader: Thank you... my Master.

Sidious: [Vader gets to his feet and follows Palpatine] Rise.

Palpatine: Master Windu. I take it General Grievous has been destroyed, then. I must say, you're here sooner than I expected.

Mace Windu: [activates his lightsaber, and Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin activate their own lightsabers] In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest, Chancellor.

Palpatine: Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?

Mace: The Senate will decide your fate.

Palpatine: I am the Senate!

Mace: Not yet.

Palpatine: [stands up and a lightsaber suddenly flies out of his robe and right into his hand; activates his lightsaber and engages Mace Windu, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto in a fierce fight] It's treason, then.

Mace: I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi. The dark side of the Force surrounds the Chancellor.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: If he does not give up his emergency powers after the destruction of Grievous, then he should be removed from office.

Mace: The Jedi Council would have to take control of the Senate in order to ensure a peaceful transition.

Yoda: To a dark place, this line of thought will carry us. Great care, we must take.

Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

Anakin: No.

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, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying.

Anakin: He could actually... save people from death?

Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Anakin: What happened to him?

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

Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power?

Palpatine: Not from a Jedi.

Palpatine: Remember back to your early teachings. "All who gain power are afraid to lose it." Even the Jedi.

Anakin: The Jedi use their power for good.

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

Palpatine: And the Jedi don't?

Anakin: The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others.

General Grievous: Ah, yes. The negotiator. General Kenobi. We've been waiting for you.

Battle Droid: Excuse me.

Grievous: [snatches Anakin and Obi-Wan's lightsabers] That wasn't much of a rescue.

Battle Droid: You're welcome.

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

Anakin: General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected.

Grievous: [coughs] Jedi scum.

Obi-Wan: We have a job to do, Anakin; try not to upset him.

Grievous: Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection.

Obi-Wan: Not this time. And this time, you won't escape.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Chancellor.

Anakin Skywalker: Are you all right?

Chancellor Palpatine: Count Dooku.

Obi-Wan: This time, we'll do it together.

Anakin: I was about to say that.

Palpatine: Get help. You're no match for him; he's a Sith Lord.

Obi-Wan: [turns and smiles] Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our speciality.

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

Obi-Wan: You won't get away this time, Dooku.

Dooku: I've been looking forward to this.

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

Dooku: Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

Padmé Amidala: So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

Darth Sidious: In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire!! For a safe and secure society!

Darth Sidious: Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute Order 66.

Count Dooku: I sense great fear in you, Skywalker. You have hate, you have anger but you don’t use them.

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

Nute Gunray: [Vader is slaughtering the Separatist leaders; Vader cuts him down, then deactivates his lightsaber] The war is over! Lord Sidious... promised us peace! We only want to—

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Another happy landing.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [after killing General Grievous with a blaster; tosses it aside] So uncivilized.

Opening crawl: War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor....
