Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (video game)

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was a 2005 video game based on the movie of the same name. It centers around Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as the Clone Wars come to an end. There are seventeen levels, interlaced with over twelve minutes of footage from the movie. It was released on May 5, 2005, for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Additionally, a version was made available for mobile phones on April 2, and a PlayStation Portable release is scheduled for later in 2005.

Storyline
The game followes the movie storyline very closely, incorporating footage from the movie into the game and blending it well with the game portion itself. It involves playing through the events as either Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi, with radically different events taking place in either. As Obi-Wan, much of the game is centered around destroying General Grievous, while the Anakin levels chronicle his fall to the Dark Side and extermination of the Jedi Order, including the attack on the Jedi Temple, which culminates in a duel with Cin Drallig. The Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions of Episode III are much the same to the console versions, except as a side-scrolling action game. The DS version also features uses for its touch-screen capability.

Bonus Level
In addition to the story levels, there are bonus levels and characters the player can unlock and play as, such as Yoda, General Grievous, an IG-100 MagnaGuard and Darth Vader. An added bonus level is the player taking on the role as Darth Vader as he had his final encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Trivia

 * Some scenes from the game were originally intended to be in the movie, but did not make it, but, being good material for the game, made its final release instead. For example, the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan run into the Grapple Droids for the first time, just before cutting their way down into the tunnel filling with fuel.  Other missions are alternate and/or expanded versions of scenes from the film.
 * While some enemies are not in the film itself (Grapple droids), others may be out of place (Buzz droids are normally space-borne droids that wreak havoc on starfighters.)
 * The game makes no mention of Padmé Amidala, despite her importance in Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader.

Non-canonical ending
The mission "Revenge of the Sith" gives the player the opportunity to play as Anakin during the duel on Mustafar, with the objective of defeating Obi-Wan Kenobi. The duel plays out the same until the very end, where Anakin avoids Obi-Wan's blade in his leap to the lava river bank and stabs Obi-Wan with his lightsaber, killing him. Anakin then greets Palpatine as he disembarks from his shuttle. After being presented with a brand new lightsaber and hearing Palpatine say that he has "brought peace to our galaxy", Anakin kills Palpatine declaring the galaxy now his to rule.
