So, hope thats cleared up all the confussion. Coming now, Obi-Wan discovers Anakin's secret in his bedroom!
Back on Endor, General Grievous, followed by ten soldiers, stormed into Padme's room. Dorme was there, polishing the queen's jewelry. Grievous grabed her arm roughly. She was clearly terrified, but Grievous didn't care.
"Where is she?" he demanded, drawing a saber and holding the blade to her throat.
"I swear I'll kill you here if you don't tell me."
Dorme tried to speak but no words would come out and she panicked even more. Fortunately for her, Officer Tarkin, a royal advisor, entered the room at that moment followed by an old fisherman.
"She left with the Trojans, my Lord," he revealed and Grievous let go of Dorme, wheeling round to stare at the officer, who gulped and gestured at the fisherman, who looked as if he wished he was anywhere but where he was.
"The old man saw her board their ship."
Grievous stared at the fisherman.
"The Trojans?"
"With the young prince. Anakin. She --"
Grievous held up his hand and the fisherman shut up. Everyone watched him, waiting for an explosion, but the news -- strangely -- seemed to focus him.
"Get my ship ready," he said in a low voice, as though he was deep in thought.
oOo
Obi-Wan walked quickly towards the cockpit with Anakin right behind him. Captain Typho, the pilot bowed his head as they entered.
Turn us around. Back to Endor," he ordered and Typho nodded obediently, moving to change to co-ordinates.
"Wait, wait," Anakin ordered, so Typho paused, unsure of who to listen to. Obi-Wan spun angrily on his brother.
"You fool," he growled.
"Listen to me --" Anakin pleaded, but Obi-Wan shoved him backwards through the open cockpit door. Obi-Wan's physical power was obvious and the other soldiers watched in awed silence.
"Do you know what you've done? Do you know how many years Yoda worked for peace? How many brothers and cousins he lost on the battlefield?"
"I love her," Anakin protested, hauling himself back to his feet.
The muscles in Obi-Wan's jaw clenched and his teeth gritted.
"Say another word and I'll break your arm. This is all a game for you, isn't it? You roam from planet to planet - you claim you know something about love? What about your leader's love? You spat on him when you brought her on this ship. What about love of your planet? You'd let Naboo burn for this woman."
Anakin opened his mouth to speak, but Obi-Wan held up a warning finger and Anakin fell silent.
"I won't let you start a war for her."
"May I speak?" Anakin asked and paused. When Obi-Wan didn't object, he continued.
"What you say is true. I've wronged you. I've wronged Yoda. If you want to bring Padme back to Endor, so be it. But I go with her."
"To Endor? They'll kill you."
"Then I'll die fighting," Anakin replied defiantly.
Obi-Wan laughed bitterly and grabed the collar of Anakin's tunic.
"That sounds heroic to you, doesn't it? To die fighting. Tell me, little brother, have you ever killed a man?"
"Not a man, No. But I have killed."
"Have you ever even seen a man die in combat?" Obi-Wan continued, ignoring Anakin's last statement.
"No," Anakin admitted and Obi-Wan's face flushed with anger. Anakin tried to look away, but Obi-wan wouldn't let him.
"I've killed men, brother. I've watched them dying, I've heard them dying, I've smelled them dying. There's nothing glorious about it, nothing poetic. You think you want to die for love, but you know nothing about dying. You know nothing about love."
"All the same, I go with her."
Obi-Wan released Anakin and stared back into the cockpit, through the window at the streaks as stars shot past.
"I won't ask you to fight my war." Anakin sighed and Obi-Wan shook his head, still staring ahead.
"You already have."
For a long time, Obi-Wan was silent, thinking what he should do. Finally he turned to Typho who was patiently waiting the Prince's command.
"To Naboo," he ordered before walking away from his brother.
