Allow this appointment lightly the council does not.
Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.
I understand.
You are on this council...
but we do not grant you the rank of master.
What?
How can you do this? This is outrageous.
It's unfair.
How can you be on the council and not be a master?
Take a seat, young Skywalker.
Forgive me, Master.
We have surveyed all systems in the Republic...
but have found no sign of General Grievous.
Hiding in the outer rim Grievous is.
The outlying systems you must sweep.
We do not have many ships to spare.
What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
It is critical we send an attack group there immediately.
He's right. It's a system we cannot afford to lose.
Go I will.
Good relations with the Wookiees I have.
It's settled then.
Yoda will take a battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk.
May the Force be with us all.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Put me on the council and not make me a master?
It's never been done in the history of the Jedi. It's insulting.
Calm down, Anakin. You have been given a great honour.
To be on the council at your age- it's never happened before.
The fact of the matter is you are too close to the chancellor.
The council doesn't like it when he interferes in Jedi affairs.
I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the council.
But it's what you wanted.
Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off.
That has nothing to do with this.
The only reason the council has approved your appointment...
is because the chancellor trusts you.
And?
Anakin, I am on your side. I didn't want to put you in this situation.
What situation?
The council wants you to report on all the chancellor's dealings.
They want to know what he's up to.
They want me to spy on the chancellor?
- But that's treason. - We are at war, Anakin.
Why didn't the council give me this assignment when we were in session?
This assignment is not to be on record.
The chancellor is not a bad man, Obi-Wan.
He befriended me. He's watched out for me ever since I arrived here.
That is why you must help us.
Anakin, our allegiance is to the senate, not to its leader...
who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired.
The senate demanded that he stay longer.
Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin. Something is out of place.
You're asking me to do something against the Jedi code.
Against the Republic. Against a mentor and a friend.
That's what's out of place here. Why are you asking this of me?
The council is asking you.
Anakin did not take to his new assignment with much enthusiasm.
It's very dangerous, putting them together.
I don't think the boy can handle it.
I don't trust him.
With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one?
Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?
So the prophecy says.
A prophecy that misread could have been.
He will not let me down.
He never has.
I hope right you are.
