Anakin Skywalker quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Anakin Skywalker

Captain Tarkin, haven't you learned to trust me by now?

Captain Tarkin

You may have learned my trust, General Skywalker, but my faith in your comrades is still lacking.

Anakin Skywalker

You lack faith in the Jedi.

Captain Tarkin

I find their tactics ineffective. The Jedi code prevents them from going far enough to achieve victory, to do whatever it takes to win, the very reason why peacekeepers should not be leading a war. Have I offended you?

Anakin Skywalker

No. I've also found that we sometimes fall short of victory because of our methods.

Captain Tarkin

I see we agree on something.

Plo Koon

Master Kenobi, what has happened?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I'm afraid we've had a situation with the shuttle.

Anakin Skywalker

By "situation", he means "big explosion". We're gonna need a rescue.

Plo Koon

It will be done. I’m sending our cruisers now.

Anakin Skywalker

You know, it's not wise to argue with Master Piell. It's certainly not a good career move.

Captain Tarkin

General Skywalker, I stand by my principles, no matter what. Besides, I needn't worry about my career. I've fallen into favor with the Chancellor. He shall support me.

Anakin Skywalker

Oh. I happen to know the Chancellor quite well, myself.

Captain Tarkin

Oh, really?

Anakin Skywalker

Really.

Captain Tarkin

A job well done, General Skywalker. I wish more Jedi had your military sensibilities. Perhaps I can inform the Chancellor of your valor.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I'm not sure what to think of your new ally.

Anakin Skywalker

I think we need people like him. This is a war. If we aren't willing to do what it takes to win, we risk losing everything we try to protect.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Unfortunately, war tends to distort our point of view. If we sacrifice our code, even for victory, we may lose that which is most important, our honor.

Ahsoka Tano

Why did Master Piell have to share half the intel with that guy? It's like he's not even grateful we rescued him.

Anakin Skywalker

Captain Tarkin feels the Jedi should be relieved from the burden of leading the war effort.

Ahsoka Tano

That's ridiculous.

Anakin Skywalker

Maybe, but we aren't soldiers. We're peacekeepers. The Jedi code often prevents us from going far enough to achieve victory.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

A rather simple point of view.

Anakin Skywalker

Either way, he is a good captain.

Anakin Skywalker

Master Plo, there's something we want to ask you. Did you assign Ahsoka to the mission?

Plo Koon

It appears I did.

Anakin Skywalker

[referring to Ahsoka] I'm not abandoning her.

Plo Koon

Your emotions are clouding your judgement.

Anakin Skywalker

I will not leave her fate up to others.

Plo Koon

What is Ahsoka's strength?

Anakin Skywalker

She is fearless.

Plo Koon

That can also be a weakness. Is she a worthy apprentice?

Anakin Skywalker

No one has her kind of determination.

Plo Koon

Except you.

Anakin Skywalker

I'll find her.

Plo Koon

This may not be within your power.

Anakin Skywalker

Whatever you're trying to say, Master Plo, just say it!

Plo Koon

I am suggesting that, perhaps, if you have trained her well, she shall take care of herself and find a way back to you.

Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka!

Plo Koon

It is good to see you safe, little 'Soka.

Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka, I am so sorry.

Ahsoka Tano

For what?

Anakin Skywalker

For letting you go, for letting you get taken. It was my fault.

Ahsoka Tano

No, Master, it wasn't your fault.

Anakin Skywalker

I should've paid more attention. I should've tried harder. I--

Ahsoka Tano

You already did everything you could, everything you had to do. When I was out there, alone, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me and because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well.

Anakin Skywalker

I don't know what to say.

Ahsoka Tano

I do. Thank you, Master.

Anakin Skywalker

You're welcome, my Padawan. [Anakin and Ahsoka bow to each other in respect]

Ahsoka Tano

You called for backup? [returns his helmet to him]

Anakin Skywalker

I had it under control, Snips.

Ahsoka Tano

Ha! I knew you'd say that.

Padmé

There's a lot of enemy troops between us and the surface.

Anakin

It's no problem. I just hope you're a fast swimmer.

Padmé

Says the boy from the desert planet.

Anakin Skywalker

Good job protecting the prince.

Ahsoka Tano

It's all part of the plan, Master.

Anakin Skywalker

I was hoping you were going to say that. Anything else I can do?

Ahsoka Tano

Unfortunately, this time it's out of our hands.

Anakin Skywalker

I'm not sure I like this plan after all.

Count Dooku

You're a fool, Rish Loo. [ignites his lightsaber and stabs Rish Loo]

Anakin Skywalker

Why bring the war to Naboo?

Count Dooku

How quickly you forget, the war started here on Naboo many years ago.

Anakin Skywalker

You were a part of that first battle?

Count Dooku

The Sith control everything, you just don't know it!

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Masters Krell and Tiin will be supporting my troops in the south while Anakin's battalion comes in from the north and takes out enemy reinforcements. It is imperative that we conquer the capital city as quickly as possible and hold it.

Anakin Skywalker

Our biggest problem is going to be the local militia. The Umbarans have aligned themselves with the Separatists and are heavily armed. ARC Trooper Fives will be assisting my units on special assignment.

Ready to do my part, General Skywalker.

Nice to have you onboard.

Just like old times, Rex.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Remember, Anakin, Cody and I will be 12 klicks to your south. We're counting on you to take out those local fighters, or, I'm afraid, the capital will never surrender.

Anakin Skywalker

[sighs] Does my battalion have to do everything?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

You seem to always volunteer.

All platoons are reported in, General.

Anakin Skywalker

Get some rest.

Thank you, sir. I'm fine.

The General is giving you an order, Dogma.

Of course, sir! (walks away)

He's wound tight, but he's loyal.

Anakin Skywalker

He kinda reminds me of you.

Maybe, back in the day.
