Ten years after the events of The Phantom Menace, Anakin (Hayden Christensen) is now Obi-Wan’s apprentice. While a separatist movement threatens peace in the galaxy, Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) consolidates his hold over the Senate. Tasked with keeping Padmé safe, Anakin and she fall in love, in contravention of the strict Jedi Code.
