Synopsis

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is a 2005 space opera written and directed by George Lucas. It closes the prequel trilogy and is set three years into the Clone Wars, a conflict that has stretched the Jedi thin across the galaxy.

The film starts with a rescue mission. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) fly into enemy territory to free Chancellor Palpatine, played by Ian McDiarmid, who has been captured by the Separatists. Christopher Lee appears as Count Dooku.

Back on the capital planet Coruscant, Anakin is a celebrated warrior, yet he is uneasy. He is secretly married to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), and he is troubled by what he fears may lie ahead for her. Palpatine, who treats him as a trusted friend, offers guidance that the Jedi Council does not. The Council, including Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz), is wary of both the Chancellor and the amount of power he has gathered.

Anakin is placed between loyalty to his mentors and loyalty to the man who has promised him answers.
