Greetings noble Jedi:

Star Wars Episode 2 - Crusaders of the Force

The film opens with Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2 and Jar Jar Binks arriving on Tatooine to rescue Shmi Skywalker and C-3PO from bondage. Anakin lands his Republic cruiser at one of the Mos Espa spaceports and heads to Watto's junk shop. Watto tells Anakin that his mother and C-3PO are now the property of the infamous Mitor the Hutt. Next, Anakin goes to Mitor's headquarters to get his mother and C-3PO. While at Mitor's abode, Mitor refuses to release Shmi and C-3PO because Mitor has grown fond of them. A fight erupts. Anakin wins and takes his mother and C-3PO. Anakin and company leave Tatooine and head for Naboo.

On Naboo, Queen Amidala holds a celebration in honor of Shmi and C-3PO's freedom from slavery. Anakin and Amidala continue there romance. Anakin receives a communication from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, which asks Anakin to return to Coruscant for an important matter.

Palpatine sends Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the planet of Alderaan, along with a large group of Jedi Knights, to prevent a coming war with the Mandalorian supercommandos. The two Jedi depart and eventually arrive at Alderaan. Once there, they find the planet preparing their defensive facilities for war, however, no enemy fleet is in sight. Anakin senses something is wrong and wants to leave Alderaan for Concord Dawn. Obi-Wan disagrees with Anakin and wants to stay on Alderaan. Shunning his mentor, Anakin departs for Concord Dawn.

Meanwhile, Queen Amidala and her troops have arrived at Concord Dawn to help fight the Mandalorians. Because of Concord's state-of-the-art defensive facilities, the fleet cannot attack. However, an employee of the local government has sold the codes for the technology to the Mandalorins in a stunning act of betrayal. The Mandalorians can now commence their attack. Anakin arrives on Concord Dawn to find the planet under siege.

He goes down to the surface and begins to fight the armies of cloned warriors. He ignites his lightsaber but is almost immediately taken with fear. He turns to flee, but a spirit stops him in his tracks. It is the spirit of Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn. He urges Anakin to ignore fear and the dark side of the Force. Anakin retains his senses and remembers a Jedi practice that may help him, Jedi Meditation. He focuses his energies and begins to levitate above the clones. The clones become afraid and Anakin gains the advantage.

Obi-Wan and the group of Jedi Knights arrive at Concord Dawn to find Anakin carrying an unconscious Queen Amidala. Anakin intimates that he fought the clones all by himself, without Kenobi's help. Anakin and Amidala have a "moment" aboard the Jedi ship and then the Jedi Knights leave to fight the clones. A spectacular battle ensues, with Jedi and clone alike cut down in the fight. When the dust clears, Obi-Wan finds Anakin on the top of a heap of bodies, sans lightsaber.

Kenobi finds Anakin to be okay and they depart back to their ship. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is addressing the Galactic Senate. He states that he must depart the planet for a time to take care of other "pressing matters." Obi-Wan and Anakin depart the planet to find a terrific space battle above. The warships of the Mandalorian and Republic are engaged in mortal combat. N-1 starfighters weave in and out of the larger capital ships in a fiery dance of death.

Anakin and Obi-Wan both begin to sense something dark and foreboding from a larger ship in the center of it all....it brims with the dark side of the Force. The two Jedi board the ship to find it crewless, they cannot sense a single being save the oppressive "feeling" of the dark side.

They travel throughout the ship to a bridgelike room. In it is a darkly-cloaked figure. He turns...it is Darth Sidious! Both Anakin and Obi-Wan brace up, ready for battle. Before the duo can do anything, Obi-Wan is knocked unconscious by the blow of Anakin's lightsaber. It is the Concord Dawn traitor--Jaster Mareel! The traitor gestures to Anakin with the young man's lightsaber and says: "Here, take your saber, kid--you'll need it."

Anakin turns to Sidious and they exchange dialogue concerning cloning and the many weaknesses Sidious believes Anakin to have. Sidious concludes and says "Now, let me show you the extent of my cloning, boy." From an adjoining room emerges--Darth Rage!! Not realizing it is a clone of the original Sith Lord, Anakin seethes with rage and lunges into a passionate lightsaber duel. Anakin's rage eventually wins over, the young Jedi severs Rage's bionic arms and decapitates him. Anakin turns to Sidious as Obi-Wan awakens. Before the two Jedi can attack the darkly-clad Sith Master, Sidious states that if the enemies of the Mandalorian try to destroy the ship they are on, it will create an explosion big enough to destroy all of the surrounding ships. Obi-Wan and Anakin retreat, knowing they must live to fight another day. As their ship leaves Sidious', they witness an N-1 starfighter hurtling toward the larger ship on a kamikaze mission.

The mission succeeds and the ship is blown to smithereens in a terrific explosion, but not before a Republic cruiser departs from the ship....it seems Sidious will also live to fight another day. Anakin and Obi-Wan depart for Coruscant. Back on Coruscant, Anakin appears before Mace Windu and the remaining members of the Jedi Council to be knighted. A seemingly joyous scene cuts to:

Chancellor Palpatine's quarters. He is being addressed by another unseen by the camera. The other voice states: "The boy is getting too dangerous; he must be turned before it is too late..." While much darker dealings take place, Anakin and Amidala are wed in a grand Royal Wedding. It is a thoroughly joyous occasion and the light of the galaxy seems to shine upon them as we fade to black . . .
