Obi-Wan and Anakin flying around shooting in the space battle and one-liners mainly. Obi-Wan comments how he hates flying like in AOTC. Nothing we havent already known...yet.

Anakin pretty much lighlty smashed himself into Obi-Wan to knock off some of the spider droids.

Artoo is fighting a buzz droid now. Obi-Wan is amazed at all the stuff Artoo can do.

EDIT: Only Obi-Wan and Anakin in the fight. What ever jedi were there are dead by the time Obi-Wan and Anakin got there.

Obi-Wan & Anakin are on the hanger and fighting the battle droids!

This novel is REALLY protraying Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship. I hope some of stays in the film

Artoo hooked up to the computer to locate Palpatine just like he did on the DeathStar to find Leia! Very cool mirror

Obi-Wan sensed Dooku and now Anakin & Obi-Wan are off heading in Palpatines direction

Also Dooku just told Grievous to lead Obi-Wan and & Anakin to Dooku

Dooku is watching Anakin & Obi-Wan fight through the ship from security cameras

It mentioned the lost 20 like in the AOTC novel.

Dooku is thinking about how he never had a true friendship with anyone(while watching Obi & Anakin)

Dooku is feeling tired of being a villian and secretly wishes to be captured to get out of the mess he is involved in now

Sidious told Dooku to kill Obi-Wan so Anakin will turn.

Obi-Wan told Anakin to call him Obi-Wan not Master anymore. They both entered the room with Palpatine now...

The Dooku duel just began! Palpatine is offering some "helpful" words

Dooku thinks Anakin is pathetic and Obi-Wan is his real challange. How wrong he is!

Anakin: You won't escape us this time Dooku!
Dooku: Escape? *sarcastically* Please...

Dooku: How is Senator Amidala?
Anakin: DON'T..DON'T EVEN MENTION HER NAME!!!

Dooku kicked Anakin in the face now

Obi-Wan just did something called a "force roll" over Anakin's head.

Dooku is starting to realize Anakin is a real threat and not the Jedi he faced on Geonosis.

Anakin is laying it on Dooku and Dooku is in pure defense mode.

Dooku: Aren't you a little old to be afraid of the dark?

Sidious: Strike now! STIKE! KILL HIM
Dooku: Kill....me?

Dooku's hands are OFF!

Anakin has the blades at his throught. Dooku is cringing.

Dooku: HELP ME!
Anakin: I shouldn't.....
Sidious: DO IT NOW
*head is lobbed*

*Anakin stares at the head*
Anakin: I did that....who am I?

*Drops Dooku's saber*
Anakin: I couldn't help myself...
Palpatine: You did well....not only well. But right

Palpatine: Have you ever noticed....the way of the Jedi.....is not always the right way?
Anakin: But...

LandoSpeeder2
The ship is crashing. They are heading to try to escape

Invisable Hand's shield has failed!

Grievous is on the bridge as its crashing so far. He is pacing the deck.

A neimodan was objecting to grievous's order ad Grievous rammed his fist into his FACE. INTO IT. And ripped it out of the seat by the face. And he told a junior officer he has been promoted.

Anakin is talking to Artoo via a comlink like in ANH! He is yelling to Artoo to activate a turbo-lift

They are heading to the bridge to get Grievous.

Grievous is on the bridge. Grievious likes saying preposterious a lot.

Grievous just realized Dooku is dead and Anakin rescued Palpatine. Grievous is dang pissed.

Palpatine fell in the elavator shaft and is holding on Anakin's leg. He is telling ANakin to drop Obi-Wan. He is trying to get Obi-Wan out of the picture. Earlier he told Anakin to go after Grievous and leave obi-wan with him.

Obi-Wan wakes up over Anakin's shoulder*
Obi-Wan: Have I missed something?
*Obi-Wan sees Palpatine dangling in a elevator shaft*
Obi-Wan: *very droggy and hitting his head seems to make him pretty oblivous* Oh hello Chancellor! Are you well?

Anakin holding Obi-Wan and having palps on his leg can't hold on any longer and they are plummeting. At the last minute he got ahold of Artoo on the comlink and were saved by a open door being opened by Artoo.

Obi-Wan seems alert and Obi-Wan says its time go to the escape pods but Anakin refuses to without Artoo

I listened some more last night. They crashed and Mace came to meet them. He asked about Dooku and Anakin said he killed him. When Mace asked how he did it Anakin got nervous and Palpatine stepped in and explained how wonderful ANakin was. They decided they need to get Grievous now to end this war. And Anakin headed off to find Padme. Mace & Obi-Wan talked about Palpatine and Sidious. Mace said he and Yoda suspect Palpatine has somesort of connection to SIdious but they have kept it a secret from the other Jedi. So now just Obi-Wan, Mace, & Yoda know. Mace worries Anakin is getting to close to Palpatine.

Anakin and Artoo went to find Padme and they found threepio and threepio tells him she is hiding and Artoo and Threepio have some funny lines. Like threepio refues to believe Artoo's heroics from the mission. Anakin finds Padme and they kiss and she tells them of her pregnancy.

Back to the Jedi temple with a secret meeting between Obi-Wan, Yoda, & Mace. They discuss how Palpatine now is getting MORE power by making himself incharge of the Jedi Order(So he can appoint Anakin). All 3 are very sure Sidious is either one of his advisors or Palpatine himself. They decide the Jedi may have to strike against Palpatine if he goes to far and that remaining part of the Republic and respected by the people is not as important as keeping the Jedi Order from destruction. They also begin to realize everything since the Trade Blockation on Naboo has been a plot of the Sith to destroy the Jedi Order.

LandoSpeeder2
Back to Anakin & Padme. ANakin has the dream of her dying in childbirth. He tells her and all she says is "Oh". She realizes all people have to die eventually while Anakin is freaking out about it.

Mace, Obi-Wan, and Yoda are discussing Palps, Sidious, and the war still.

Obi-Wan is saying that if we get Grievous that Sidious wont have Dooku or Grievous and will have to act and they can watch and catch him.
Obi-Wan: His actions will reveal him. He will not escape us!
Yoda: Seeing into the heart of the matter, Obi-Wan has.
Mace: We will move against Sidious.

They are sending Obi-Wan to find Grievous. Obi-Wan says he sometimes can hear Qui-Gon talk to him.
Now its describing Grievous on Utapau.

Nute Gunrary is on Utapau too!

Grievous: Gunray! Why are you still here?
Gunrary: You said we would be safe here! Why are we being moved to Mustafar?!

Grievous: Mustafar is the most secure planet in the galaxy!

Now Gunray is whining about spending all his money on the war and annoying Grievous.
Sidious is contacting Grievous
Sidious: Have you moved the council to Mustafar?
Grievous: Yes, master.
SIdious: Well done my general

Now they are talking setting a trap for Obi-Wan to kill him.

Grievous: Kenobi will die.

Anakin is at the temple now trying to find Obi-Wan.

He is thinking about his dreams of Padme's death again.

Anakin went to Yoda for advice now!
Anakin is asking for help with his dream with Padme but not revealing it is about Padme and what it predicting to keep it hidding. Yoda asked Anakin to meditate with him.

Yoda: Sense the future all Jedi could. Now few alone have this skill. These visions of yours...
Anakin: They are of pain..suffering..and death.
Yoda: No suprise this is. Someone close to you?
Anakin: Yes....
Yoda: Fear of loss is the path to the darkside.
Anakin went to the archive to try to find out how to stop prophecy dreams from coming true. However he isn't allowed. They are restricted to Jedi Masters.
Palpatine arrived at the Temple and is asking for Anakin.
Obi-Wan came to tell him that he is summoned to Palpatine.
Obi-Wan: As your friend I am asking you be wary of Palpatine. I know you are his friend but I don't think he is a friend of yours.
Anakin is going to talk to Palpatine right now.
Palpatine: I have asked you here because I need yout help.

Palpatine: In all the years we have been friends, have I ever asked for something against the will of your concious?
Anakin: Well...
Palpatine: And I never will.
Palpatine: You you may become more powerful then all of them together.

Palpatine: I am coming to feel the Jedi themselves....The council keeps pushing for more control. They lost all respect for the law.
Anakin: Many would say the same of you.
Palpatine: Many of the Jedi would prefer if I was out of office.
Palpatine: How do you know Sidious exists? Created by the Jedi Council to defeat their political enemies!

LandoSpeeder2
Anakin: The sith are evil.
Palpatine: That is what you have been told...
Palpatine: I would ask him to sit down and help end this war!
Anakin: You would.....you would....?
Palpatine: And I would bloody well offer him a brandy and talk it out.
Anakin: The JEdi will no longer report to the senate?
Palpatine: They will report to me only.
Anakin: I can see how that can help but the council won't.
Palpatine is appointing Anakin to the council to keep an eye on the council now!

Anakin: Me?
Palpatine: Who else? You are the only Jedi I can trust. I need you my boy. To be the eyes, the ears, and voice of the Republic on the council.
Anakin: On the council....

The council is discussing Palpatine appointing Anakin(Anakin is not there yet).

Obi-Wan: How can you ask him to lie to a friend? To spy on him? Don't make Anakin pick sides between me and Palpatine!

Windu: We should appear shorthanded and weak to make Sidious move thinking his unobserved. Lets make them think both I & Yoda have to take the field in action.
Yoda: Only one should go. The sepretists on Kashyyk a compelling excuse will make.
Mon Mothma: Bail whats happened?
Bail: Its time Mon...its time to stop talking and start doing.
Mon & Bail are talking about Padme. Its EXACTLY as Motee stated.

Now its back to the Jedi Temple. Anakin is walking into the Temple. Thinking about when he first came in back in TPM.

Anakin is being allowed on the council now but not the rank of master.

Mace: You will not be granted the rank of Jedi Master.
Anakin: What?
Anakin: How dare you! HOW DARE YOU! No Jedi in this room can match my power...now Jedi in the galaxy! You think you can deny mastery to ME?!?
Obi-Wan: Please....*points to a chair beside him*
Anakin: Forgive me masters.

Yoda is offically sent to Kashykk and Obi-Wan to find Grievious.

Anakin is sitting in the council alone as everyone left depressed.

Bail & Mon are talking to Padme. exaxt quotes as Motee...once again!


Bail: He has become a dictator...we made him a dictator.
Mon Mothma: What are we going to do about it.
Some Senator: I don't like where this is going....
Bail: We can't let a 1000 years of democracy end without a fight!
Padme: You sound like a sepratist!
Bail: Who will vote against Palpatine now?
Padme:...I will...
Bail: Do that, make as much noise as you can. It will provide cover for me and Mon Mothma while we build the organization.
Mon Mothma: No one can be told. No one.
*All nod*
Padme: *sigh* Yes....yes agreed. *thinking: Oh Anakin. I'm sorry...so sorry*

Anakin & Obi-Wan are walking down the steps talking from the scene in the trailer.

Anakin: If I wan't friends with Palpatine would I be master?!?
Obi-Wan: I don't know.
Anakin: They call me the chosen one! CHOSEN FOR WHAT!?
Anakin: I'm too close to him? Maybe I am! A man who has been nothing by generious to me! The only man who has given me the respect I deserve!
Obi-Wan: How can you be a Jedi Master when you haven't mastered yourself?
Anakin: What do I have to do? They want something from me!
Obi-Wan: That's not how the council works...
Obi-Wan: The council.....approved your appointment because Palpatine trusts you. They want you to report on all his dealings.
Anakin: That's treason!
Obi-Wan: We are at war Anakin....
Anakin: Your trying to get me to turn against Palpatine. To lie to him. This is what it is about!
Obi-Wan: No it isn't!
Anakin: HE IS A GREAT MAN!
Anakin: He is my friend Obi-Wan...
Obi-Wan: Yes...sadly...
Anakin: He is like family...
Obi-Wan: The Jedi are your family.
Anakin: The Jedi are YOUR family. I had a mother who loved me! Do you remember what happened to her? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LET ME SAVE HER?
Obi-Wan: You know how sorry I am for your mother...

*Right before Yoda leaves*
Obi-Wan: I think we did a terrible thing.
Yoda: Know how important your frienship with Anakin is I do.

Yoda: The prophecy...misread it could of been....

Mace: Jedi create light,the Sith don't create darkness. They just use it.
Obi-Wan: I am not sure I follow you. Are you saying the Jedi cast too much light?
Mace: All I am saying I don't know..we don't know what it means to bring balance to the force.
Yoda: The more we learn the more we discovery how much we don't know.
Obi-Wan: He is loyal to people...not principles.
Obi-Wan: I think Anakin can do anything..other than betray a friend.
Anakin & Padme are together again.
*outside*
Anakin: Beatiful isn't it?
Padme: Anakin you shouldn't be out here. It is still daylight.
Anakin: Tonight is forever from now. How can I live that long without you?
Padme: Let's go inside...
Anakin: How are you feeling?
Padme: He keeps kicking
Anakin: He?
Padme: It's my....motherly intuiton
Anakin: With a kick that hard? Defintely a girl.
Anakin: I can't stay...I am off to meet the chancellor.
Padme: Sometimes I wonder...if we are on the wrong side.
Padme: What if the democracy we are fighting for doesnt exist. What if it becomes the evil we are fighting against?
Anakin: Where would the Republic be without Palpatine?
Padme: I don't know but it wouldn't be any worse....
Padme: Our government is heading in the wrong direction!
Anakin: I am tired of this..this politcal justice.
Padme: I am becoming afraid...that I might know that the bad guys are here now....
Padme: Ask Palpatine to offer a cease fire!
Anakin: Is that a order?! DO I GET ANY SAY IN THIS? What if I don't agree with you?! What if I think Palpatine's way is the right way!?
Padme: Anakin....
Anakin: I am sick of this.
Padme: *cries* Anakin..what is it? What is it really?
Anakin: Nothing that you can help.
Padme: Let me help you!
Anakin: I am trying...to help you.

Anakin is with Palpatine now. Time for the sudece to get even stronger. Expect some Palpatine quotes!
Palpatine is telling Anakin he found out with Grievous is. Utapau.
They are in the theater.

Palpatine: The Jedi council can't always be trusted to do the right thing.
Palpatine: I think you know I can't rely on the Jedi Council.
Palpatine: I believe they intent to control the republic itself! They are planning treason. And hope to overthrow my government. Search your feelings...you do know...don't know?
Palpatine: They want you to spy on me don't they?
Anakin: I...
Palpatine: It's ok. I have nothing to hide.
Palpatine: Do you remember when you were young? I tried to teach you the in's and outs of politics. You should remember my first teaching. All those who gain power are afraid to lose it...
Anakin: The Jedi use it for good!
Palpatine: Good...good is not the only valid one.
Anakin: The sith are evil!
Palpatine: From a Jedi point of view....
Palpatine: Perhaps the real difference between the sith and jedi is their orientation....
Palpatine: The sith has always been more powerful than the Jedi...
Palpatine: Beings have these emotions for a reason. That is why the sith are more powerful.
Anakin: They think only of themselves!
Palpatine: And the Jedi don't..?
Anakin: Jedi are selfless!
Palpatine: Or so you have been told to believe....

LandoSpeeder2
Anakin: Have they asked you to break the Jedi code? To betray a friendship..?
Palpatine: Think Anakin...think. Consider their motives.
Anakin: Would it be possible to learn this power?
Palpatine: Not from a Jedi....

They are out of the opera house. Anakin is sitting in his speeder with his eyes closed just thinking
He wants to go there apparently to somehow find out if the story of Plagiues is true.

Obi-Wan has arrived at Padme's appartment!

Obi-Wan: This is not a social call. I have come to speak to you about Anakin.
Obi-Wan: He he came to see you?
Padme: Several times...
Obi-Wan: It's Anakin....may I sit?
Padme: Please.
Padme: Is he in trouble?
Obi-Wan: We had words yesterday and parted badly....
Padme: What were these words about?
Obi-Wan: I can't tell you. Jedi business. Its just that I have been a bit worried about him...
Padme: Why would he talk to me about Jedi business?
Obi-Wan: I am not blind Padme. Though I have tried to be for Anakin and your sake. Niether of you are good at hiding feelings. Anakin has loved you since Tatooine. He has tried to hide it. I pretended to not know. It made him happy. You made him happy. And you Padme as skilled as you are can't hide the light in your eyes when anyone mentions his name.
Padme: I...
Obi-Wan: Anakin is under a great deal of pressue. He is changing..quickly. It would be a very great mistake if he were to leave the Jedi order
Padme: Why that seems so unlikely. Isn't he the chosen one?
Obi-Wan: It only says a chosen one will be born and bring balance to the force. It never says he has to be a Jedi. My master believed it was the will of the force that Anakin would be trained as a Jedi.
Padme: But the will of the force...
Obi-Wan: But the Jedi doesn't know all there is to know of the force. We don't know what the will of the force can be.
Obi-Wan: I fear some of his current difficulty has to do with his relationship with you. I can't tell you what to do Padme. Consider Anakin's best interests.
Padme: I can't talk about this.
Obi-Wan: Remember the Jedi are his family. Please tread carefully. Some decisons can never be reversed.
*comlink beeps*
Mace: We are calling the council into session. We knowvGrievous's location.
Obi-Wan: Thank you.
Obi-Wan: I won't tell the council of this.
Padme: Thank you...Obi-Wan. You love him too, don't you? You do! You love him.
Obi-Wan: Please do what you can to help him.
Council is in session. Talking about Utapau. They are wondering how Palpatine could of got this information.
Obi-Wan is being sent to get Grievous. They decide to send him so their best swordsman Mace will be there to attack Sidious if he strikes.

Rebellion meeting in Padme's living room!

Senator: The new governer's are arriving with clone troopers...
Padme: I have realible information that Grievous has been located and Jedi are moving against him.
Bail: What then? How do we make Palpatine withdrawl his governers?
Bail: It is only Palpatine to declare when the emergency is over.
Senator: We are ready to make him surrender power.
Threepio: This discussion is most-
Padme: Threepio that will be all.
*after threepio leaves*
Padme: this is a most dangerous step. We can't turn this into another war.
Bail: Politcal solution is our only solution.

Padme: We should consult the Jedi.
Senator: That....would be dangerous
Mothma: We don't know where the jedi stand in this
Padme: The Jedi aren't happy with this either.
Senator: If we are to oppose the chancellor we need the support of the Jedi. Otherwise what do we have?
Padme: One jedi then...There is one I truely know I can trust absolutely......Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Obi-Wan is on the deck with Anakin saying goodbye.

Anakin: I have a bad feeling about this...
Obi-Wan: Did you say something?
Anakin: You are going to need me on your mission
Obi-Wan: It might just be a wild bantha chase. You are needed here.
Anakin: Master....I know I've dissapointed you in these last few days. I have been arrogant. My frustration with the council is not your fault. I apologize.
Obi-Wan: You are wise. You have surpassed my instruction.
Obi-Wan: I am speaking not of your power, but of your heat. You have done great things and I am very proud of you. I believe I hear General Grivous calling my name. Goodbye old friend. May the force be with you.

Those are the LAST things Obi-Wan says to Anakin before he goes to the Sith.

Anakin is back with Palpatine now.


Palpatine: Anticpation is my sole source of sucess. It's the only way I can take advantage of oppurtunity.

Palpatine: I do not believe in the will of the force....I believe it is our will that matters.

Palpatine: My friends have picked up disturbing rumors about Kenobi...
Anakin: Are you serious?
Palpatine: Most serious. Some in the senate regret giving me emergency powers....
Anakin: What about Obi-Wan?
Palpatine: I am getting to that.
Palpatine: The difference is now these senators have given up on democracy.....
Palpatine: They are organizing. To remove me...by other means...
Anakin: Treason?
Palpating: They have fell with the power of the Jedi...mixed in the plot of the Jedi to destroy the Republic...
Palpatine: If this is true we must be prepared. I have a very good idea of who is the leaders of this oraganization is...I want you here when they come to meet me.....We will pierce their veil.
Anakin: I will try.
Palpatine: No, we won't try we will do!
Anakin: You still haven't told me about Obi-Wan.
Palpatine: That is the disturbing part. It appears that Kenobi has been in contact with the leaders of this kobal... The rumor is that he has been seen leaving this senator's place quite early in the morning...
Anakin: Lets go to that senator! Let's question him!
Palpatine: I am afraid its a her...a woman you know very well....
Anakin: You.....you mean.....
Palpatine: I am afraid so.
Anakin: THATS IMPOSSIBLE! I WOULD KNOW!
Palpatine: Sometimes the closest are those who can not see...

Anakin is going to Padme to find out if this is true.

Padme: Anakin what are you doing here?
Anakin: Waiting for you.
Padme: I have a meeting...
ANakin: Is it with the chancellor?
Padme: Er....yes
Anakin: Obi-Wan has been here
Padme: Yes this morning...
Anakin: What did you talk about!?
Padme: We talked about you.
Anakin: WHAT ABOUT ME?
Padme: He is worried about you...the way you have been acting...
Anakin: I am not the one doing the acting. Not the one doing the pretending!
Anakin: I'm sorry....I know I have been difficult...I feel like I am in freefall...I don't know which way is up or where I will be when I land...or crash. I think it's going to be a crash.
Padme: What has happened my love? You always been so sure of yourself...
Anakin: Nothing...everything. I don't know....

Talking about the dream that shows Padme's death....

Anakin: I will become so powerful...I will keep you safe forever.
Padme: You don't need power. You can save me from anything just as you are.

Rebellion is meeting with Palpatine(and Anakin) now.

Padme is talking for the rebellion. Asking to have peace talks with sepratists. Right in front of Anakin.

Padme: This system of governers is very troubling.
Palpatine: I assure you the republic governers are to make your system safer.

Obi-Wan is at Utapau now.
Grievous has his body guards and a ENTIRE army of battle droids waiting for Obi-Wan. Poor Obi.

Obi-Wan: I can keep them distracted for some time but don't take to long.
Commander Cody: Come on boss! Have I ever let you done?

Tion Meddon is going up to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan: My business is the war.
Meddon: There is no war here unless you brought it with you.
Obi-Wan: Very well then. Please permit me to refuel here and to search.
Tion: He is here. We are hostages. We are being watched. You must depart in truth. I was ordered to reveal his presence. It is a trap! 10's of thousands of war droids!

Obi-Wan: *looks up at the 10th level* Never a air taxi when you need one...

Now he is going off to get a ride on Boga.
He is on Boga now heading for Grievous.
Obi-Wan finally reached Grievous face to face and Palpatine is filling Anakin with more lies about how evil the rebellion is and how Padme is a traitor.He also admited he knows of the marriage.

Palpatine: You must understand than what is at stake here is the fate of the galaxy!
Palpatine: Think how hard it has been to keep your srecrets inside....
Palpatine: You never had to pretend with me like you had with your Jedi comrades. I accept you the way you are! Share with me your truth! Let yourself out!

Palpatine: Ask what you want...and its yours.
Anakin: Is this a joke?
Palpatine: I have never been more serious.
Palpatine: Pick something, anything.
Anakin: How about those new custom speeders?
Palpatine: Done, would you prefer a battle cruiser?
Anakin: how about the senatorial aparetments...the whole building
Palpatine: Done
Anakin: You cant just!
Palpatine: Yes I can.
Anakin: Corillia. I want Corillia.
Palpatine: Planet or whole system?
Palpatine: I am trying to impress on you a funamental truth of yourself. Do you understand now? I will give you anything you want.
Anakin: What if I want the war to end?
Palpatine: Would tommorow be to soon?
Anakin: How?
Palpatine: We are discussing what. How will come later.
Anakin: What do I have to do?
Palpatine: In exchange...do what you want. Do what the JEdi fear most. do what you think is right. COMMIT to that life. I know you buuuuurn for the wider truth. Let yourself gain that truth. You have dreamed of leaving the order and having a life based on love!
Anakin: I cant just leave!
Palpatine: But you can.

Its back to Obi-Wan fighting Grievous and the body guards.
100's of droids are surrounding Obi-Wan.
Grievous's body guards are leaping at him.
*obi-wan slices a beam and 3 body guards crash to their doom*
Obi-Wan: Well, that went well. 10,000 droids to go!
There is such a insane amount of droids they are wiping out themselves trying to shoot Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan has made his way through droid's to reach Grievous.
Obi-Wan: I am still willing to take you alive.
Utapaun's are coming to the rescue. They are attacking the droids.
Now CLONES are attacking too. Utapuan's, Clones, vs. Battle Droids.

*Grievous ignites his sabers*
Grievous: TO THE DEATH!
Obi-Wan: Well if you insist...
Back to Anakin.

Palpatine: I was the only man skilled enough for this. Without my deception how would I have cured the Republic?
Palpatine: If only you could know how I longed to tell you Anakin. Since they day we met I have watched over you...biding my time. Waiting for the time your ready.
Palpatine: YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!
Palpatine: Chosen by ME! Chosen to be the heir of my power!
Palpatine: Do you think the Sith did not know of the prophecy? Do you think we would sleep while it came to pass? This Jedi submission to fate is not the way of the Sith. This is not my way. This is not your way. It may never be!
Palpatine: I am offering you the power to save Padme! Is that evil?
Palpatine: I am asking you to do the right thing. Turn your back on treason.
Its back to Obi-Wan battling Grievous again.
Still dueling..... TONS of blaster fire around the duel from Clones, Utapuans, & Droids.
Obi-Wan chopped one of Grievou's thumb's off and a saber in half!
an explosion seperated him and Grievous got in his wheel thing.
Obi-Wan got on Boga and chasing after Grievous

Obi-Wan: Boga! Here girl! We have a General to catch.
Boga jumped on the ship thing!
Obi-Wan: I believe you need another ship general.
Somehow it seems General is on foot and Obi-Wan is on Boga. Obi-Wan is attacking droid's while on mount still.
Wait Grievous is still in the vehicle. Got out from under Boga. I assumed he got out of the ship.
Now Boga is never to the wheeler. And Obi-Wan is slicing at it with his Saber
Boga is getting shot
They are still racing even with Booga nearly dead. She is still racing with all her might.

Obi-Wan JUMPED off her and took one of the pikes and wacked Grievous in the head with it while on the wheeler. The wheeler is rolling off course and crashed. Both Grievous and Obi-Wan flew out.
Grievous pulled out a blaster and shot at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan grabbed the pike with the force and is holding it. Obi-Wan is now charging as Grievous is blasting.
Obi-Wan charged at Grievous and RIPPED the steel on his stomach off revealing his flesh. Grievous threw Obi-Wan and charged at him but Obi-Wan force grabbed the blaster and shot grievous in the flesh stomach. Killing him.
Booga still LIVES! But barely...
*Obi-Wan looks at the blaster in his hand*
Obi-Wan: So...uncivilized! *drops it*
Obi-Wan STILL has to get away from the 10,000 battle droids. Thats when Booga is finished I suspect.
Its switching to MACE!!
He is talking to Yoda via hologram. He is saying he has 3(4 with himself) of his best masters ready in case Sidious attacks.
ANakin has RAN IN!

Anakin: MASTER! MASTER WINDU!!!
Mace: What's wrong? Are you hurt?
Anakin: Obi-Wan! I NEED TO TALK TO OBI-WAN!
Anakin: Listen to me. *Shakes* *mace holds Anakin*
Don't...don't hurt him.
Mace; Have you been attacked?
Anakin: *collasps on the floor*
Mace: Anakin...look at me....are you hurt? Do you...
Anakin: Master....Windu........I have....bad news.
Mace: Bad news?
Anakin: Palpatine is Sidous! The Chancellor is the Sith Lord!
Mace: Wait in the council chamber till we get back.
Anakin: But...
Mace: THATS AN ORDER!
ANakin: What are you going to do?
Mace: Only as much as I have to.
Palpatine is waiting in his office.
*4 Jedi head toward the office*
Kit Fisto: I'd feel better if Yoda was here. Or even Kenobi.
Anakin is pacing in the chamber.
Anakin: WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!??!!
He is wandering around the chamber alone still.
Anakin is leaving the chamber now!

The 4 Jedi Masters are outside the room now.
Palpatine's saber is hidden in one of his statues!
He took it out and tested the saber. Palps then put in his sleeve.

THE DOORS OPEN! THE JEDI ARE IN!!!
*Palps turns on a recording, audio only*
Palpatine: Why Master Windu. What a pleasent suprise....
Mace: Hardly a suprise chancellor and will not be pleasent for either of us.
Palpatine: Master Fisto hello.
Palpatine: Master Kolar greetings, I trust you are will.
Palpatine: Master Timm! I see your horn has regron. I am very glad.
Mace: We know who you are. We are here to take you into custody.
Palpatine: When I last checked I am supreme chancellor who you are sworn to protect. I hope I missunderstand you. It smacks of treason.
Mace: Your under arrest
Palpatine: Really master windu you cant be serious. Under what charge?
Mace: Your a sith lord
Palpatine: Am I? Even if true. That is not a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact the last time I read the consitution we have strict laws against persection. So I ask you again what is my crime?
Mace: We are not here to argue with you
Palpatine: Your here to imprison me without trial. This is the plan at last. The jedi are taking over the Republic.
Mace: Come with us, now.
*sabers ignite*
The trailer stuff happens here.
yells for the audio recording Palps is making:
Palpatine: HELP! SECURITY! HELP ME! MURDER TREASON!!
*recording ends*

They are fighting like mad!
Palpatine: THIS IS MURDER YOU JEDI TRAITORS!
*timm's head hits floor*
Fisto: SAESE!(sp?)
*fisto is lobbed*
Kolar: *saber goes through his head* *falls over*
Palpatine: HELP HELP HELP!

Mace: For all of your power, you are no Jedi. All you are my lord, is under arrest.

Palps: Do you see Anakin, Do you? Didn't I warn you of the Jedi's treason?

Mace: Save your twisted words, my lord. There are no politicians here. The Sith will never regain control of the Republic. It's over. You've lost. You lost for the same reason the Sith always lose: deafeated by your own fear.

Palps: FOOL do you think the fear you feel is MINE!
"I-I can't" says Anakin
"Of course you can" says Sidious
"I came to save your life. not to betray my friends" says Anakin
"What friends?" says Sidious
Anakin could find no answer

"And do you think that task is finished my boy? Do you think killing one traitor will end treason? Do you think the Jedi will ever stop till I am dead?
"It's them or me Anakin. Or perhaps I should put it more plainly. It's them or Padme`.

The duel went exactly as spoilers say. Mace and Sidious fight. It goes outdoors and back again. Anakin comes in and chops off his hand and Sidious throws him out via force lightning. RIGHT after Anakin pledges himself to the sith and Palpatine sends him to kill the Jedi and says the "SHOW NO MERCY" speech from the trailer. He said after that go to Mustafar and wipe out the sepratists. And its the duel that makes Sidious's face ugly.

LandoSpeeder2
The novel implies he was NOT faking defeat also.

Gate Master Jurokk: "Anakin, what happened? Where are the Masters?"

Vader: "where is Shaak Ti?"

GMJ: "In the meditation chambers- we fealt something happen in the Force, something awful. She is searching the force in deep meditation, trying to get some feel for what is going on..."

"Something has happened, hasn't it?"

GMJ: "Anakin, what's going on? Something's happened. Something horrible. How bad is it?"

The last thing Jurokk felt was the emitter of a lightsaber against the soft flesh beneath his jaw; the last thing he heard. as blue plasma chewed upward through his head and burst from the top of his skull and burned away his life, was Anakin Skywalker's melencholy reply.

Vader: "You have no idea"
ORDER 66:

Cody withdrew the comlink from his armor and triggered it. A holoscan appeared in the palm of his gauntlet: a hooded man.

"It is time" the holoscan said "Execute Order Sixty Six"

Cody responded as he had been trained since before he'd even awaken in his creche-school. "It will be done, my lord"

Cody was a Clone. He would execute the order faithfully, without hesitation or regret. But he was also human enough to mutter glimly "Would it have been too much to ask for the order to have come before I gave him back the bloody lightsaber...?
-----------------
(he had recovered it for ObiWan earlier in the chapter)
More Order 66:

The Clone Wars were the perfect Jedi trap.

By fighting at all, the Jedi Lost.
With the Jedi Order overextended, spread thin across the galaxy, each Jedi alone, surrounded only by whatever clone troops he, she, or it commands. Wat itself pours darkness into the force, deepening the cloud that limites Jedi perception. And the clones have no malice, no hatred, not the slightest ill intent that might give warning. They are only following orders.

In this case, order sixty six.

Hold-out blasters appear in clones hands ARC-170s drop back on the tails of Jedi starfighters. AT-STs swivel their guns. Turrets on hovertanks swung silently.

Clones open fire, and Jedi die.
All across the galaxy, All at once.

Jedi Die
==================================================
=====
Questions answers.
the Yoda vs. Sidious has Yoda thinking and realizing that the Sith have adapted and changed with the times as the galaxy changed but the Yoda has been teaching the Jedi just like his masters taught him and the Jedi have never changed with the time or adapted expect for Qui-Gon and he decides its best to escape because if he dies this relezation he discovers would die with him.
Yes. WHen in the temple Obi-Wan gets all emotional and upset and breaks down. Yoda stays calm during the whole thing and wacks Obi-Wan hard as he can in the chest with his stick to make him get control of himself.

One of the best parts was Artoo & Threepio on Mustafar. One of the only times they arent used as comic relief. Artoo goes to Mustafar with Anakin(or should I say Vader) and is left in the jedi starfighter. He witnesses the Padme, Obi-Wan, and Anakin fight right before the duel. And THreepio overhears it from the ship. After Obi-Wan and Anakin go off to duel Artoo gets out and tries to drag her to the ship but he is having a lot of trouble. Threepio comes out of the ship hoping things are safe and sees artoo doing it and worries about Padme getting even more injuried and says:

Threepio: Let me help. We'll carry her...together. *picks up Padme*
They eject Yoda in a pod. It is never said why or how Dagobah is picked. Also Anakin is sent to Mustafar by Palpatine. Palpatine tells the CIS he is sending them a gift. Anakin takes Artoo with him there but before he goes he stops at Padme's apartment to tell her where he is going. Artoo talks to Threepio and tells him of how Anakin has changed and won't even talk to him anymore and that he seems scared. (All said from Threepio's reactions of course)
A cool thing is when Threepio is heading off the ship to see artoo trying to carry Padme he translates what Artoo is saying to Padme which is "It's all right....you'll be all right...."
The senate scene with the Empire being declared is good. Sidious gets everyone all excited and states the Empire will stand for 10,000 years and says this will be national "Empire Day" from now on. When Yoda confronts him he says
Palpatine: Ah, Master Yoda. May I be first to wish you a Happy Empire Day!
You see clone troopers slaughting younglings and Anakin killing a master protecting them. The slaughter is never shown from Anakin's point of view other than when he kills the guard Jedi at the temple doors. After that we see no more till Bail arrives and asks the troopers what is going on and they wont say. Bail sees a youngling get shot and fall out of a temple window and crash to the ground. The troopers say Bail saw too much and chase after him to kill him.
Sidious says to the suited vader "Lord Vader...lord vader can you hear me?"
Also we see SIdious(the ugly deformed one) RUN! It is also why he doesnt chase after Yoda. As yoda makes his getaway Sidious senses Vader is in mortal danger and sprints off running to get a ship to rescue him.
Anakin vs. Obi-Wan has some diolouge. Not much though. At the end of it they get chatty but the main middle part they don't speak much.
They didnt have a reaction for Sidious. Also Sidious didn't seem to have time to react or care that Yoda lived. He had a Sith to save. Also by the end of the novel Obi-Wan & Yoda believe they are the only two jedi left alive. The Jedi Purge is considered the ending part of the Clone Wars. Not something AFTER it.
Jinn is exalted as what the new order of the Jedi should follow after and in the 19 years till ANH Jinn will teach Yoda & Obi-Wan on how they the Jedi should be and how they should train the Jedi. And of course how to retain their idenity. Luke is the first of the Jedi to be trained in the Qui-Gon style and it obviously worked.
After Mace there is no more seducing. Anakin asks Palpatine to be a sith and right after he is knighed Darth Vader.
Retaining your idendity is so powerful because its eternal life which is just what the Sith want more than anything but only a Jedi(A Qui-Gon styled Jedi) can have it. The Jedi have what the Sith want and the Sith can never have it. THAT is why is is powerful.
"What was different about Luke's training from that of Obi-Wan and Yoda, except that Luke was trained in his twenties? "

(another one)


"Anakin... ?" - Padme

"Padme, move away!" - Obi-Wan

There was an urgency in Obi-Wan's voice closer to fear than Padme had ever heard from him.

"He's not who you think he is. He WILL harm you." - Obi-Wan

"I would thank you for this, if it were a gift of love!" - Anakin

"No, Anakin. No..." - Padme

"Palpatine was right. Sometimes it is the closest who cannot see. I loved you too much, Padme." - Anakin

He made a fist, and she couldn't breath.

LandoSpeeder2
(update)

"I loved you too much to see you ... to see what you are!"

Padme clawed at her throat, but there was nothing she could do.

"Let her go, Anakin!" - Obi-Wan

Anakin snarled.

"You will not take her from me." - Anakin

She wished to call out... to tell him that she loves him... but was not able to.

"LET HER GO!" - Obi-Wan

"NEVER!" - Anakin

The ground fell away beneath her, and then a white flash of impact blasted her into night.


//cut to Coruscant

In the Senate Arena, lightning forth from the hands of a Sith and bent away by the gesture of a Jedi, to shock red robes into unconsciousness. Then there were only the two of them.

Their clash transcended the personal. When new lightning blazed, it was not Palpatine burning Yoda with his hate, it was the Lord of All Sith scorching the Master of All Jedi into a smoldering pile of clothing and green flesh.

A thousand years of hidden Sith exaulted in their victory.

"Your time is over. The Sith rule the galaxy... now and forever!" - Sidious

And it was the whole of the Jedi Order that rocketed from it's huddle, making of it's own a body a weapon to blast the Sith to the ground.

"At an end, your rule is... and not short enough, it was, I must say." - Yoda

There appeared a blade the color of life. From the shadow of a black wing, a small weapon, a hold out, an easily concealed backup, a tiny bit of treachery expressing the core of Sith Mastery, slid into a withered hand, and spat a flame colored blade of its own.

When those blades met, it was more than Yoda against Palpatine, more than millennia of Sith against legions of Jedi.

This was the expression of the fundamental conflict of the universe itself.

Light against dark.

Winner take all.

//cut to Mustafar

Obi-Wan knelt beside Padme.

He barely found a pulse.

"Anakin... Anakin, what have you done?!?" - Obi-Wan

"You turned her against me!" - Anakin

Obi-Wan looked at the best friend he had ever had.

"You did that yourself." - Obi-Wan

"I'll give you a chance, Obi-Wan. For old times sake. Walk away." - Anakin

"If only I could." - Obi-Wan

"Go someplace out of the way. Retire. Meditate. That's what you like, isn't it? You don't have to fight for peace anymore. Peace is here! MY Empire IS peace!" - Anakin

"YOUR Empire? It will never have peace. It was founded on treachery and innocent blood." - Obi-Wan

"Don't make me kill you, Obi-Wan." - Anakin

"If you are not with me, you are against me." - Anakin

"Only Sith deal in absolutes, Anakin. The truth is never black and white." Obi-Wan

He stands, holding up his open hands in a sign of peace.

"Let me take Padme to a med center. She's hurt, Anakin. She needs medical attention." - Obi-Wan

"She stays." - Anakin

"Anakin!" - Obi-Wan

"You don't get to take her ANYWHERE! You don't get to touch her! She's MINE, do you understand? It's your fault... all of it! You made her betray me!" - Anakin

"Anakin..." - Obi-Wan

Anakin drew his lightsaber.

Obi-Wan drew his own lightsaber.

"Then I will do what I must." - Obi-Wan

"You'll try." - Anakin

Anakin leapt toward Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan jumped to meet him in the air. As the blades crossed, the volcano aboved echoed with a shot of fire.

//cut to 3PO

3PO looked cautiously through the hatch of Padme's skiff. There's a goofy paragraph about things 3PO would rather be doing... it was pretty funny.

He walked down the landing ramp.

He didn't really know what was going on, other than hearing that Padme was hurt.

He couldn't find Padme.

He heard R2 in the distance. It translated to "Don't worry, you'll be alright."

"Artoo? Artoo, are you out here?" - 3PO

Artoo was pulling Padme across the ground toward the ship (he tangled his maniupulor arm in his clothing, which was what was pulling her).

"Artoo, stop that this instant! You'll damage her!" - 3PO

"What exactly do you suggest?" - R2

"Well... alright... we'll do it together." - 3PO

//cut to Coruscant.

There came a turning point in the light versus dark.

The battle shifted from the holding office to the podium.

It began to raise, over 100 meters up... it became the focal point of the arena... had anyone been in it to witness this.

The senate pods began flying every which way, crashing into each other in a thunderous roar... almost echoing the cheers for Palpatine that had emanated through the chamber earlier that day.

Yoda's vision finally pieced the darkness that had taken control over the Force.

He saw the truth...

That he was the avatar of light; the Supreme master of the Jedi Order.

The truth...

That he just didn't have it

Yoda... had never had it.

He had lost before he had started.

He had lost before he was born.

The Sith had grown; had changed; had adapted.

Palpatine was the culmination of the past 1,000 of Sith training, as well as the intensive study the Sith put into Jedi lore itself.

The past 1,000 years of Sith history had been a preparation for this moment.

The Jedi had been training to fight the last war. The wrong war.

The new Sith could not be destroyed with a ligthsaber, or with a touch of the Force.

The more the light side flowed through Yoda, the more the dark side swelled in Palpatine.

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.

How could one win a war against the dark, when the war had become the weapon of the dark?

Yoda realized this insight held the hopes of the galaxy.

If he were to be destroyed, that hope would die with him.

//cut to Mustafar.

After thousands of hours of lightsaber sparring together, Obi-Wan and Anakin's techniques were almost identical. They knew what the other was going to do before he did it... every time.

Punches and kicks were blocked, all strikes were parried. They knew each other too well.

They then were inside the facility...

Seems like they're using the Force to set off the blasters in the dead people's hands...

Obi-Wan managed to a deflect a few towards Anakin.

Anakin deflected.

And they send the laser beams back and forth at each other until they dissipated into radioactive gas.

"Don't make me destroy you, Obi-Wan." - Anakin

"You're no match for the power of the dark side." - Anakin

"I've heard that before... but I never thought I'd hear it from you." - Obi-Wan

Anakin Force-pushes Obi-Wan into a wall.

Anakin steps toward him, over dead bodies... and lifts his blade in preparation for the kill.

Obi-Wan had one trick left. One that wouldn't twice.

One that worked on Grievous.

He reached out through the Force, and reversed the electrodriver's on Anakin's mechanical hand.

His fingers sprang open, and his lightsaber flew out.

Obi-Wan reached out with the Force and drew Anakin's lightsaber to him.

"The flaw of power is arrogance." - Obi-Wan

"You hesitate. The flaw of compassion." - Anakin

"It's not compassion, Anakin. It's reverence for life." - Obi-Wan

Anakin used both the Force and his body to slam Obi-Wan into the wall.

He grabbed both of Obi-Wan's wrists an impossibly strong grip.

"I AM SO SICK OF YOUR LECTURES!" - Anakin

Obi-Wan could literally feel his bones bending, readying themselves for the break.

//cut to Coruscant

lmao, "the little green freak."

Palpatine whipped a pod at Yoda, and Yoda leaped half a second too slow. Palpatine unleashed his lightning while Yoda was still in the air, and "the little green freak took it's full power."

(Obviously, this is putting Palpatine's viewpoing into it, while staying in 3rd person.)

Yoda crashed against the podium.

And fell.

Far, far down...

The base of the arena was 100 meters below.

It was littered with shards of metal from the destroyed pods.

As the little green freak fell, the Shadow became, once again, simply Palpatine.

A tired and old man gasping for air.

He was old, but there was nothing wrong with his eyesight.

He scanned the wreckage, but did not see a body.

He used the Force to flip a switch, which sounded countless sirons throughout the building.

He then began lowering his pod towards the base of the rotunda.

Clone troops were already rushing in.

"It was Yoda! Another assassination attempt. Find him, and kill him. If you have to, blow up the building." - Palpatine

The Force sent a warning to Palpatine. Vader was in danger.

He stopped one of the commanders.

"You. Call the shuttle dock and tell them I'm on my way. Have my ship warmed and ready." - Palpatine

Palpatine ran.

//cut to Yoda

Yoda sprinted across the surface accessway below the arena.

He was running faster than any human could.

And was slicing through conduits and doors as he passed.

And filling the way behind him with high voltage cables.

He began stopping occasionally to slice an escape hole in the wall, so that the forces would have to divide up to search each of his possible exits.

Unfortunately, he knew they could afford to. There were thousands of them.

He pulled out his comlink.

The Force whispered coordinates to him, and he said them into the comm.

"Delay not. Closing is the pursuit. Failed, I have. And kill me they will." - Yoda

By the time Yoda got to the side of the chamber, he was breathing hard, even with the aid of the Force.

He cut through the floor and dropped into a maintence accessway.

He cut through one of the main power circuits for the lights.

He then cut through the wall and dove out into the open. He used his cloak to slow down his fall. He was too small to trigger the defenses.

However, the speeder flying below would get blasted if it deviated from it's path by even one meter.

He used the Force to push himself outward, and landed in the speeder next to Bail Organa.

They shot away into traffic.

"Master Yoda, are you wounded?" - Bail

"Only my pride... only my pride" - Yoda

//cut to Mustafar.

Anakin forced Obi-Wan's arms down, pointing the lightsabers toward the ground.

Obi-Wan let go.

Of everything.

His hopes, his fears, his obligation to the Jedi... his promise to Qui-Gon and his failure with Anakin.

And the lightsabers.

(And the way this thread was going earlier, his bowels too!)

Anakin was taken by surprise, and instinctively let go of one of Obi-Wan's wrists to reach for his blade.

In that instant, Obi-Wan twisted free, grabbed his lightsaber, and swung it against Anakin's with such force that it pushed them both against the wall which Obi-Wan had been standing and cut through it.

He directed another swing against the wall.

And prepared to direct another, which would cut through so that he could jump through the wall.

He did.

Anakin followed, constantly on the attack.

Obi-Wan gave ground, retreating along a narrow balcony.

High above the lava and fire.

Obi-Wan continued to let Anakin drive him back.


The heat was intense enough to begin to crisp Obi-Wan's hair.

LandoSpeeder2
Towards the place where Obi-Wan could sense death. A place, he decided, they should reach together.



Anakin cut through a control panel on the balcony.

The shield holding back the lava vanished.

Fire shot all around them.

Obi-Wan backed up to the end of the walkway; the only thing behind him a power conduit no thicker than his arm.

He stopped unto the conduit without hesitation. His balance was flawless as he deflected attack after attack from Anakin.

Then Anakin hopped aboard the conduit too. Their blows came faster than before.

Smoke blocked out the sun.

The only light came from the lava below.

Unlike Yoda vs Sidious, this had nothing to do with Jedi vs Sith, or good vs evil, or light vs dark.

It was simply Anakin against Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan back flipped to a coupling nexus, and just as Anakin leapt to follow, Obi-Wan back flipped again.

They went on a chase, back and forth, through various levels of conduits and coupling nexuses, collection panels, etc.

They ended up on a collection panel. Obi-Wan ended up on the edge of one, hiding behind it for protection from the lava, while at the same time blocking Anakin's assault both with the Force and with the lightsaber.

Obi-Wan had an epiphany.

The man he was facing was the culmination of everything he had devoted his life to destroying.

Despite this, Obi-Wan still loved him.

That thing about attachments? Yeah, Obi-wan failed at that.

He had always stuck up for Anakin; had always covered for him.

And the attachment he denied even having had blinded him to the dark path his best friend walked.

The lava broke the shore of the factory, and it began to fall into lava, knocking both of them from where they stood.

Anakin whipped the bottom of his cable at Obi-Wan's knees.

Obi-Wan sliced through the cable above Anakin's head.

Anakin fell.

Pockets of gas boiled to the surface of the lava.

It shot up flames ... like arms reaching up to pull him in.

Between momentum and the Force, though, Anakin managed to reach another cable and grab hold. Obi-Wan shifted his weight to bring him in range of Anakin's new cable.

Anakin began swinging cable to cable, and Obi-Wan took chase (picture Tarzan, kinda).

Anakin used the Force to propel him higher upon each cable.

On this planet, altitude was everything.

They ended up on the top deck of the superstructure.

Obi-Wan barely had set foot upon it before Anakin pounced at him, and they stood toe to toe.

The factory was now being carried over a lavafall -- picture a house going over a waterfall.

Obi-Wan decided he didn't want to see what was at the bottom.

He through aside Anakin's blade with both hands, and landed a solid kick into Anakin's midsection.

Before Anakin could recover, Obi-Wan took a running jump/dive off the deck...

He fell down several levels...

And just before hitting the lava, the Force brought a cable to his hand, and he took hold.

He swung to the very peak of the cable's height limit -- and let go.

The swing shot him in an arc toward the river's shore.

Toward it... but not quite to it.

But the Force led him to jump, and it also led him to his safety.

In the form of a repulsorlift platform.

It's programming was having it deliver droids to the factory - it obviously didn't realize the factory was about to be destroyed.

He destroyed the navigation system, and sent it back towards the shore.

He watched as the plant fell over the cliff, and was swallowed by the lava below.

Obi-Wan lowered his head. "Good bye... old friend."

He raised his head again.

Just in time to see Anakin hurtling towards him.

Anakin was on a tiny repulsorlift platform... one that was much quicker than Obi-Wan's.

Anakin brought his platofrorm around to the other side of Obi-Wan's, and swung at Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan shifted his weight, trying to redirect his platform, but it was just much too slow to do any good against Anakin.

awesome LS2!!!!!

thanks!!!

LandoSpeeder2
(Update)

Obi-Wan turned to block.

But instead of his blade meeting Anakin's blade, it met his knee. Then, his other knee.

And while the legs were just beginning to fall towards the lava; while Anakin was still in the air; Obi-Wan's attempt to regain balance sent his blade through Anakin's left arm above the elbow.

He stepped back as Anakin fell.

Anakin droped his lightsaber and clawed at the edge of the cliff.

His grip was too powerful for the lava bank to handle, and it crubmled.

He slid down onto the black sand.

His severed limbs rolled into the lava below him.

In sudden bursts of scarlet flame, they burned to ash.

The same color, Obi-Wan observed... as a Sith lightsaber.

Anakin clawed at the sand, but it only made things worse.

It was hot enough that it burned off his glove just by the touch.

His robes began to smolder.

Obi-Wan picked up Anakin's lightsaber.

He lifted his own as well.

He weighed them together. In a way, Anakin had designed his after Obi-Wan's.

They were similar.

But put to much different uses.
