In part six of our series celebrating Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker discovers the identity of the Sith Lord and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grievous battle to the death.
In part six of our series celebrating Revenge of the Sith for its 20th anniversary, events are put in motion that will change the fate of the galaxy. When the Jedi Council learns that Obi-Wan Kenobi has engaged General Grievous, they sense the end of the war is near and dispatch Anakin Skywalker to inform Chancellor Palpatine. However, when Anakin delivers the news, Palpatine begins playing on Anakin’s fears about losing Padmé and encourages him to learn about the dark side of the Force. Troubled, Anakin delivers this news to the Jedi only to be told to wait behind as Mace Windu and other members of the Council leave to confront Palpatine. We are discussing all of these scenes and more in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
Craig Dickinson from Reading Between the Reels joins us for the discussion.
