Anakin once more felt the tinge of remorse, and released Yoda. Anakin was overcome with emotion, bent over on the floor weeping. Obi-Wan knelt down beside him, patted his back, got up and walked out of the room. Padme followed, looking deeply concerned at her husband.
Walking down the hall with Yoda, Obi-Wan remarked, "I fear he has gone to far to turn back"
To which Yoda replied "Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become, realized our worst fears are."

In Palpatine's Quarters
"What is troubling you my young apprentice?" a now old and very fragile looking Palpatine questioned.
"I could have killed him!" sobbed Anakin.
"Well, Lord Vader, YOU DIDN'T!" roared Palpatine. "I WANTED HIM DEAD!" Then calming down he stated "I thought you were up to the task, but judging by this showing, apparently not."
"No Master" said Anakin bowing, "I am ready and will do whatever you ask"
"good" seared Papatine, "I feel the anger swelling in you already, but wait what's this….twins…Lord Vader this is unexpected."
"Yes Master" said Anakin obediently.
"You know what is to be done of them don't you?"
Anakin shuddered "Yes Master"
"good" Palpatine sneered again "that is all my friend."
Anakin got up and as he walked out replied "Yes Master"
