rescue the captive Chancellor. Just when Palpatine is about to be
released, Count Dooku shows up. Obi-Wan and Anakin both battle it out
with him, but Obi-Wan ends up unconscious. Anakin slices off his head
and kills him. Anakin carries Obi-Wan, and Palpatine follows him. They
meet General Grievous face to face, and Anakin tries to fly the last
half of the ship so that they can safely land on Coruscant. Later,

believing that the Jedi Council is against him. Eventually, it is found

him, along with three other Jedi that accompany Windu. They all fail.

by becoming evil. After a fierce battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin,
Anakin gets fried by the lava at Mustafar. Palpatine takes him to a
medical facility, where he gets fake legs and a fake arm attached to
him, along with a breath mask, and a helmet. And thus, Darth Vader was
born... the Death Star is shown under construction, a weapon of mass
