Anakin Skywalker quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I've rounded up three brigades, sir. Where are we going?

Anakin Skywalker

We're going to board a Separatist frigate, rescue Master Ropal and recover an archive holocron.

We have no assault craft, Sir, only a couple of fighters and the Twilight. [Anakin looks at Rex sternly, and Rex straightens his posture] Waiting for orders, sir.

Ahsoka Tano

And the plan is...? [Anakin looks at Ahsoka sternly] Just curious. [Anakin surveys the hangar just as Admiral Yularen walks up]

I came down to see if I could be of any help, General Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker

Actually, you can. [points to a row of AT-TEs] Activate those walkers, Admiral.

You are not thinking of using those to transport the clones to that frigate.

Ahsoka Tano

Well, they are pressurized.

And they're equipped with magnetic feet. Mmm. Good call.

Ahsoka Tano

Master, you're a genius.

General Skywalker, one of the engines on that frigate has exploded. I caution you to avoid the aft section.

Anakin Skywalker

How much damage is there?

I suggest immediate evacuation.

Anakin Skywalker

Not until we get what we came for.

There's a power surge heading toward the bridge. If you're there, get out immediately. You must abandon your mission.

Anakin Skywalker

I don't have the holocron memory, and I seem to have misplaced my Padawan.

The ship is tearing itself apart!

Anakin Skywalker

Move off to a safe distance, Admiral, and await my signal for evacuation.

Of all the Jedi, why did I have to end up with Skywalker?

Anakin Skywalker

What do you want?

Cad Bane

This holocron carries information I've been paid to collect. I can't unlock it, but you can. The last Jedi who had it wouldn't open it. I hope you don't make the same mistake... [Anakin exchanges a worried glance with Ahsoka who looks back at him with pleading eyes] ...We don't have much time. Hurry it up, Jedi, or she dies. [Anakin closes his eyes and thinks]

Ahsoka Tano

No, Master! Don't do it!

Anakin Skywalker

I can't let you die, Ahsoka.

Ahsoka Tano

Master, no!

Anakin Skywalker

[Drops his lightsaber to the ground] We'll deal with the holocron later.

Cad Bane

How touching.

Ahsoka Tano

Master, wait! [Anakin keeps running] Stop! [Anakin still keeps running] This is the way to the hangar! We must get off this ship now!

Anakin Skywalker

[Stops and turns to Ahsoka] I can't let Bane get away.

Ahsoka Tano

Patience, Master. Patience.

Anakin Skywalker

You're right.

Ahsoka Tano

Master, I'm sorry I let that mercenary get the upper hand.

Anakin Skywalker

It wasn't your fault, Ahsoka. It was mine, start to finish.

So... did you manage to recover the holocron or capture the bounty hunter?

Anakin Skywalker

Um, no and no.

I see. So, the mission was your usual version of success, then?

Anakin Skywalker

If by success, you mean I won, then yes. [Admiral Yularen groans in frustration and turns to walk away]

Yoda

Hmm. A jungle world. Dome cities I see. Rodia it is.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

A house in Kay Tap Square. Yes, I see it, too.

Mace Windu

There's an ocean planet, home to Nautolans. Glee Anselm?

Yoda

Glee Anselm I see not.

Anakin Skywalker

I sense… a place I've been to before. Waterfalls. Naboo.

Yoda

Jan-gwa. A village, southern sector. Sense it strongly, I do.

Anakin Skywalker

The Gungan child was screaming.

Yoda

The future you see, young Skywalker. To Naboo you must go. Cad Bane you will find. With you, take your Padawan.

Mace Windu

You are certain there is no child on Glee Anselm?

Yoda

Into the shadow of the dark side taken the child was. Shrouded is his fate from us. Great the loss is, but more children in danger there are.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I shall leave for Rodia immediately.

Yoda

Find more younglings we will.

Anakin Skywalker

Admiral, lockdown the hyperspace rings! Hurry!

What could possibly have happened since I last spoke with you?

Anakin Skywalker

[waves his hand, attempting to use a Jedi mind trick on Cad Bane] You will take us to the holocron.

Cad Bane

Jedi mind tricks don’t work on me.

You will take us to the holocron.

Cad Bane

Forget it.

You will take us to the holocron.

Cad Bane

I… I won’t.

Mace Windu

And you will take us…

…NOW!

Cad Bane

I… I will take you. No! Get out of my head!!

Mace Windu

The Chancellor wants a report on our progress.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Tell him this is not Republic business. It's an internal Jedi affair.

Anakin Skywalker

I'm reluctant to disagree, but as long as the Jedi are acting as a military, we should report to the Chancellor, even on internal matters such as this.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Well, then, I guess you just volunteered to go. Give the Chancellor my regards.

Anakin Skywalker

Now, wait a minute.

Mace Windu

I agree. Report back here when you are finished.

Anakin Skywalker

This could be a trap, Master. You sure you don't need us to go.

Mace Windu

Of course it's a trap, Skywalker.

Ahsoka Tano

What if they don't find those kids?

Anakin Skywalker

They will, Snips. Come on.

Anakin Skywalker

I hitched a ride on a cargo freighter.

Padmé Amidala

What happened to your military transport?

Anakin Skywalker

Eh... it blew up. Anyway, the freighter captain was bringing a shipment to a restaurant here, and he gave me something to bring home. [Padmé stops walking and looks surprised at Anakin] We just have to-- [Anakin stops walking and turns to Padmé] What?

You called this home.

Anakin Skywalker

Well, what else would I call it? [kisses Padmé]

Wait. Now give me back my disk.

Anakin Skywalker

Don't worry, Clovis. It's good to know you have a heart. I wish I could give you the disk, but I have a lot faith in your survival skills.

I've been saving it for a special occasion.

Anakin Skywalker

An evening alone with you? I can't think of an occasion more special.

Anakin Skywalker

I have to report to the Jedi council.

Right now?

Anakin Skywalker

Actually, about seven clicks ago. If I keep delaying, Obi-Wan will send a clone squad to find me. I've been ducking his signals all night.

[Sighs] I understand.

Anakin Skywalker

I can sense that you're angry.

Don't think that you can read my mind.

Anakin Skywalker

Padmé, you shouldn't take this personally. Duty comes first, especially in wartime.

Padmé Amidala

Someone has to find out the truth.

Anakin Skywalker

Someone does. Just not you.

Why not me?

Anakin Skywalker

Because it's going to be dangerous. Whoever takes this mission will be putting their life at risk.

I've been in many tough situations before. It never seemed to bother you. I've never stopped you from facing danger. You're constantly getting shot at.

Anakin Skywalker

I've been trained for that. It's very different from spying on a traitor.

You mean I can't handle the mission.

Anakin Skywalker

I mean, I'm not going to let you do it.

You're not going to let me? It's not your decision to make. It's mine.

Anakin Skywalker

Lucky for us, you've already decided to refuse.

Actually, I just changed my mind. You've convinced me that it's vital to learn what Clovis is doing. I accept the mission to spy on him.

Anakin Skywalker

Even though I'm telling you not to?

Don't take it personally, Anakin. Duty comes first, especially in wartime.
