Chapter 21 Part 2

Chapter 21 Part 2 is the first episode in Season 3 of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series. The episode originally aired on Cartoon Network on March 21, 2005.

At a meeting of the Jedi High Council, Ki-Adi-Mundi tells his fellow council-members of the defeat on Hypori. Since the Jedi numbers are spread so thinly, the Council decide to promote Anakin Skywalker to full Jedi Knight status at Obi-Wan Kenobi's request, despite protests from Master Oppo Rancisis. 

Anakin walks through crowds amid the lower levels of Coruscant, surveying the surrounding people, including many non-humans, with suspicion. He thinks a hooded figure is following him, so he races off. At the entrance to an alleyway, he grabs the mysterious figure and ignites his lightsaber before realizing his pursuer is his beloved wife, Padmé Amidala. They share a kiss and, thinking they have been seen by a passerby, Anakin rants that they should not have to hide their love. Padmé reminds him of his duty to the Jedi Order and that she'll always love him. He jokes that Padmé does look good in the dark and they kiss again, though this time they are interrupted by C-3PO, who is clad in brand-new, gold-colored coverings. Anakin claims to be impressed; most impressed. 

Anakin is called by Obi-Wan to the Jedi Temple, but he arrives late, interpreting his being summoned as a prelude to another scolding. Kenobi reminds his Padawan that he is no longer a child but must still follow his Master's orders. Anakin retorts that Obi-Wan is "no Qui-Gon Jinn."; this saddens Obi-Wan visibly and Anakin immediately regrets his hurtful comment, apologizing. Master Kenobi forgives his student and then shows him to a dark room, where Obi-Wan and the other Jedi Masters surround Anakin and ignite their lightsabers. Yoda knights Anakin, cutting off his Padawan braid, which C-3PO later presents to Padmé, which she happily stores away with her Japor snippet for safekeeping. In return, Padmé gives R2-D2 to Anakin, the droid showing the new Knight a hologrammatic recording of Padmé presenting him the gift and accepting his own. Anakin smiles at the sight and reaches into the hologram with his mechno-arm as if to hold her in his hand. He and R2 then board his Actis-class starfighter and leave once again to serve together in the Clone Wars…
