then he should be removed from
office.
MACE WiNDU: That could be a dangerous move ... the Jedi Council would have to take control
of the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition . . .
Kl-ADI-MUNDI: . . . and replace the Congress with Senators who are not filled with greed and
corruption.
YODA: To a dark place this line of thought will carry us. Hmmmmm. . . . great care we must take.
118 INT. CORUSCANT-CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE-EARLY EVENING
ANAKIN brings news to PALPATINE.
ANAKIN: Chancellor, we have just received a report from Master Kenobi. He has engaged
General Grievous.
PALPATINE: We can only hope that Master Kenobi is up to the challenge.
ANAKIN: I should be there with him.
PALPATINE: It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn't seem to fully appreciate your
talents. Don't you wonder why they won't make you a Jedi Master?
ANAKIN: I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I am being excluded from the
Council. I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me.
PALPATINE: They don't trust you, Anakin. They see your future. They know your power will be
too strong to control. Anakin, you must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around
you. Let me help you to know the subtleties of the Force.
They walk into the hallway.
ANAKIN: How do you know the ways of the Force?
PALPATINE: My mentor taught me everything about the Force . . . even the nature of the dark
side.
They stop.
ANAKIN: You know the dark side?!?
PALPATINE: Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not

In time they will destroy you. Let me train you.
ANAKIN: I won't be a pawn in your political game. The Jedi are my family.
PALPATINE: Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the
dark side of the Force, Anakin, and you will be able to save your wife from certain death.
ANAKIN: What did you say?
PALPATINE: Use my knowledge, I beg you . . .
ANAKIN: You're a Sith Lord!
ANAKIN ignites his lightsaber.
PALPATINE: I know what has been troubling you . . . Listen to me. Don't continue to be a pawn
of the Jedi Council! Ever since I've known you, you've been searching for a life greater than that
of an ordinary Jedi . . . a life of significance, of conscience.
ANAKIN: You're wrong!
PALPATINE: Are you going to kill me?
ANAKIN: I would certainly like to.
PALPATINE: I know you would. I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.
ANAKIN raises his lightsaber to PALPATINE's throat. There is a tense moment, then ANAKIN
relaxes, and then turns off his lightsaber.
ANAKIN: I am going to turn you over to the Jedi Council.
PALPATINE: Of course you should. But you're not sure of their intentions, are you? What if I am
