Anakin Skywalker quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

The Son

You are the chosen one. Join me. Together we can change the balance of the universe, my friend.

Anakin

You must know I will never join the Dark Side willingly.

The Son

How simple you make it. Light and Dark...as if there is one without the other. Allied, you and I can restore balance wherever we go, peace to the universe.

Anakin

Are you becoming a Sith? Never!

The Son

[furious] I will DESTROY the Sith! And the Jedi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Look out! [Anakin almost hits a tower and crashes the ship] I didn't think you saw it.

Anakin Skywalker

It was a giant tower. Of course I saw it.

Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka. Ahsoka! It's me. You're safe. Now let's go.

Ahsoka Tano

Are you... proud... of me, Master?

Anakin Skywalker

What?! Uh... Of course, Snips. Of course I'm proud of you. Now, let's get out of here.

Ahsoka Tano

[she opens her eyes] He's right, right about everything. You must join him. He only wants what's best for the universe.

Anakin Skywalker

Hey... What's wrong with you?

Ahsoka Tano

Always with the criticism, Master, never really believing in me, trusting me. Well, I don't need you anymore.

Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka... Ahsoka, listen to me. He has done something to you. Snap out of it. This isn't you, Ahsoka!

Ahsoka Tano

Isn't it? I feel more like myself than I ever have. He asked me to give you a message. He said if you didn't join him, he will kill me. [laughs]

Anakin Skywalker

I won't let him.

Ahsoka Tano

Then you will be forced to kill me! [ignites one of her lightsabers. Anakin is horrified]

Anakin Skywalker

I don't want to fight you, Ahsoka. [Ahsoka disarms him]

Ahsoka Tano

And now... the student will kill the master.

Anakin Skywalker

Getting ahead of yourself, aren't you, Snips?

Ahsoka Tano

Don't call me that! I hate it when you call me that!

Anakin Skywalker

Can you help her?

There is no light. The evil has been unleashed, and the dark side shall consume her.

Anakin Skywalker

[desperately] You must help her!

I cannot undo what is done. There is no hope.

Anakin Skywalker

Yes, there is! There's always hope!

Anakin Skywalker

Hey, Snips.

Ahsoka Tano

What's going on?

Anakin Skywalker

Not much. It's good to see you.

The Son

I have a gift for you.

Anakin

I have had enough of your trickery.

The Son

Oh, but you'll like this one, I promise... What if I could show you the future?

Anakin

[clutches his head as unseen visions assault him] No. No! Stop it!

The Son

Know yourself. Know what you will become!

Anakin

I will not look!

The Force is strong with you. [Anakin sees Sidious shooting lightning at his son, as well as Darth Vader killing younglings and Force-choking Padmé]

Padmé

[voice] Anakin, please!

Obi Wan

You were my brother, Anakin!

[Voice as Alderaan is blown to bits] I HATE YOU!

Anakin

No, no. No! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! [he falls to his knees, close to tears] I will do such terrible things...

The Son

Yes... but it doesn't have to be that way. The choice is still yours to make.

Anakin

How?

The Son

The future, by its nature, can be changed. Join me, and together we will destroy this Emperor that you see in your visions, then we shall end war, corruption and suffering throughout the galaxy!

Anakin

[hesitant] Will we bring peace?

The Son

Of course.

Obi-Wan

Anakin, are you all right?

Anakin

There has been a change of plan. [Force pushes Obi-Wan's speeder into the lava] Sorry. You will not understand what I have to do to end the Clone War. You will try to stop me.

Obi-Wan

[horrified] Anakin, why?!

Anakin

[regretfully] I'm sorry, but I have seen that it is the Jedi who will stand in the way of peace.

What did he show you?

Anakin

I have seen what I become, and I cannot let that happen.

And for this, you join him? Your destiny can change as quickly as the love in one's heart can fade. Nothing is set in stone.

Anakin

But I will cause so much pain!

If there is to be balance, what you have seen must be... forgotten. [Taps Anakin’s forehead, knocking him out]

Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier, but you won't be coming along.

Ahsoka Tano

Not coming? But you're breaking into Citadel. No one's ever done it.

Anakin Skywalker

The Citadel wasn't designed to hold common criminals. It was created to hold Jedi if any of us lost our way. It's not a place for Padawans.

Ahsoka Tano

You're just being protective again. That's not fair. How am I supposed to learn if you won't let me share the risk?

Anakin Skywalker

This isn't a mission for learning. You either do or die. And that's not a risk I'm willing to share.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

This is your idea? Carbon-freezing?

Anakin Skywalker

You wanted to shield us from the life-form scanners.

Are we sure this thing is safe? I don't want to end up a wall decoration.

Anakin Skywalker

Hey, Snips.

Ahsoka Tano

Hey, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I must have carbon sickness because I could swear that's Ahsoka.

Anakin Skywalker

Your eyes are fine. It's Ahsoka's hearing that needs help.

Ahsoka Tano

I received orders to join the team. I thought you knew.

Anakin Skywalker

Orders? From who?

Ahsoka Tano

I discussed it with Master Plo.

Anakin Skywalker

He didn't tell me.

Ahsoka Tano

You were already in carbonite.

Anakin Skywalker

Well, I gave you a specific order not to come.

Ahsoka Tano

If there's one thing I've learned from you, Master, it's that following direct orders isn't always the best way to solve a problem.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I see Anakin's new teaching method is to do as I say, not as I do. Welcome aboard.

Anakin Skywalker

That wasn't the plan.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Well, it's in the plan now.

Captain Tarkin

I reserve my trust for those who take action, General Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker

Then let me remind you, we rescued you back there and I reserve my trust for those who understand gratitude, Captain Tarkin.

Anakin Skywalker

Sorry I'm late.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

How nice of you to join us.
