Plot:
After three long years of relentless fighting, the Clone Wars are nearly at an end. With most of the Separatist leaders dead or captured, the Jedi Council dispatches Obi-Wan Kenobi to find and bring the deadly leader of the Separatist droid army, Viceroy Nute Gunrey, to justice as well as Count Dooku still in hiding. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine has grown in power. His sweeping political changes transform the war-weary Republic into the mighty Galactic Empire. To his closest ally, Anakin Skywalker, he reveals the true nature of power and the promised secrets of the Force in an attempt to lure him to the dark side which puts Anakin at odds with his heavily pregnant, secret wife, the senator Padme Amidala.
