- Darth Sidious

Mission to Mustafar is a fictional event featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It is associated with the prequel trilogy and represents the final act of the Clone Wars. It appeared in the 2005 film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, as well as all adapted media.

History
Nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Chancellor Sheev Palpatine reformatted the Galactic Republic into the First Galactic Empire. The Clone Wars, which had been raging for the past several years, neared its conclusion following the deaths of Confederacy of Independent Systems leaders Count Dooku and General Grievous. The only matter left to handle was to dissolve the remaining members of the Separatist Council.

Palpatine, who was also a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious, sent his newest apprentice Darth Vader, formerly the Jedi known as Anakin Skywalker to the planet Mustafar on the Outer Rim with instructions to murder the remaining members of the council. He even sent a holographic projection to the council, informing them that his new apprentice would arrive shortly to "take care of them".

The council leaders had been relocated to Mustafar by the late General Grievous, after evacuating their temporary base of operations on Utapau. Darth Vader arrived on Mustafar, but the council members had no idea that he was there to dispatch them. As he entered the chambers, he used The Force to seal all of the exits, preventing anyone from escaping. Vader produced his blue lightsaber and cut the council members down one by one, killing all of them.
