Plot overview
Star Wars: Episode III - Destiny of the Jedi will be the conclusion of the trilogy that begins with Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One, and it will continue and conclude many of the themes and storylines from The Chosen One and its sequel, Star Wars: Episode II - The Call of Destiny. The story is centered around Michael Lars finally embracing his destiny as the Chosen One, and it focuses on the end of the Invasion of Ondos and the beginning of the Clone Wars.
