Ten years after the events of THE PHANTOM MENACE, not only has the
galaxy undergone significant change, but so have our familiar heroes
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) and
Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) as they are thrown together

Naboo. Anakin has grown into the accomplished Jedi apprentice of
Obi-Wan, who himself has transitioned from student to teacher. The
two Jedi are assigned to protect Padmé whose life is threatened by
a faction of political separatists. As relationships form and
powerful forces collide, these heroes face choices that will impact
not only their own fates, but the destiny of the Republic.
