Plot

The&nbsp;Galactic Republic&nbsp;is in turmoil. Following the invasion
of&nbsp;Naboo&nbsp;ten years earlier, the former&nbsp;Jedi Knight&nbsp;Count Dooku&nbsp;(Christopher Lee)
has now organized a Separatist movement against the Republic. The Galactic
Senate debates a plan to create an army for the Republic to assist the Jedi
against the Separatist threat. Senator&nbsp;Padmé Amidala,
the former queen of Naboo and now a politician, returns to&nbsp;Coruscant&nbsp;to cast her vote. Upon her arrival,
she narrowly escapes an assassination attempt, and Supreme Chancellor&nbsp;Palpatine&nbsp;assigns&nbsp;Obi-Wan Kenobi&nbsp;and his apprentice&nbsp;Anakin Skywalker&nbsp;(Hayden Christensen) to protect her.
Obi-Wan and Anakin subdue the assassin,&nbsp;Zam Wessell,
during another assassination attempt. However, before she can give them any
information, the assassin is killed by her employer using a poisonous dart.
Obi-Wan learns that the dart was manufactured on the remote&nbsp;ocean planet&nbsp;of&nbsp;Kamino, and is assigned to
investigate, while Anakin is assigned to escort Padmé back to her home planet
of&nbsp;Naboo. Anakin relishes the
opportunity to spend time with her, and they fall in love. In investigating&nbsp;Kamino, Obi-Wan discovers
that it has been removed from the navigation maps of the Jedi archives.&nbsp;Yoda&nbsp;reveals that such a thing could only
have been done by a Jedi, suggesting that a&nbsp;conspiracy&nbsp;is afoot.

Obi-Wan heads to Kamino, where he
discovers that an army of&nbsp;clone troopers&nbsp;is being secretly produced for the
Republic, using a&nbsp;bounty hunter&nbsp;named&nbsp;Jango Fett&nbsp;(Temuera Morrison)
as their&nbsp;genetic&nbsp;template. Realizing that Jango is the
assassin's employer, Obi-Wan tracks Jango and his son&nbsp;Boba&nbsp;(Daniel Logan)
toGeonosis,
a rocky planet where a new droid army is being created. Meanwhile, on Naboo,
Anakin becomes troubled by premonitions of his mother Shmi in pain. Despite
Obi-Wan's orders to remain on Naboo, Anakin and Padmé go to&nbsp;Tatooine. After meeting
his new stepfather,&nbsp;Cliegg Lars&nbsp;(Jack Thompson), and stepbrother&nbsp;Owen Lars&nbsp;(Joel Edgerton),
Anakin learns Shmi had been kidnapped by&nbsp;Tusken Raiders&nbsp;some weeks earlier. He heads out alone
to rescue her, but when he finds her at a Tusken camp, she dies in his arms
after suffering weeks of torture at the hands of the tribe. Enraged, Anakin
slaughters the entire tribe before returning his mother's body to the Lars
homestead for burial.

Having learned that Count Dooku
authorized the assassination attempt on Padmé and that the Separatists are
developing a new&nbsp;battle droid&nbsp;army, Obi-Wan relays this information
via&nbsp;hologram&nbsp;to Anakin, who transmits it to the&nbsp;Jedi Council.
However, Obi-Wan is captured by Dooku mid-transmission. Dooku unsuccessfully
attempts to make an ally of Obi-Wan, and reveals to him that the Republic is
being secretly controlled by Darth Sidious. While Anakin and Padmé head to
Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan, Chancellor Palpatine is granted&nbsp;emergency powers&nbsp;to organize the clone army and send
them into battle. Shortly after arriving on Geonosis, Anakin and Padmé are
captured and sentenced to be executed along with Obi-Wan. Anakin and Padmé
profess their love before being led into a large gladiatorial arena where they
and Obi-Wan are pitted against gigantic beasts in a public execution. However,&nbsp;Mace Windu&nbsp;(Samuel L.
Jackson) and a team of Jedi appear and lead a strong defense against
the beasts and the Separatists. Windu kills Jango Fett in a brief battle, but
then the Jedi find themselves outnumbered by the Separatists' droid army. As
Dooku demands their surrender, Yoda arrives with the clone army and rescues the
survivors of the battle.

As a large battle erupts between the
Republic's clone army and the Separatists' droid forces, Obi-Wan and Anakin
engage Dooku in a&nbsp;lightsaber&nbsp;duel. Dooku defeats them both,
injuring Obi-Wan and severing Anakin's right arm, but then Yoda arrives to
challenge the Count. Unable to defeat Yoda, Dooku flees in his ship to
Coruscant, taking the blueprints for&nbsp;an ultimate
weapon&nbsp;with him. He is
met in an isolated hangar by his Sith master, Darth Sidious, who states that
everything is going as planned now that the galaxy is at war. As the Jedi
gravely acknowledge the start of the&nbsp;Clone Wars, Palpatine oversees the
launching of several battalions of clone troopers. Meanwhile, Anakin —now
fitted with an artificial arm — and Padmé secretly marry on Naboo, with&nbsp;C-3PO&nbsp;and&nbsp;R2-D2&nbsp;as witnesses.
