Why we collected this quote
This is a great bit of slapstick action. We love how Anakin tried to go along with the plan and save Dooku since he’s tied to them, but he’s ready to literally drop him at any time.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Anakin is dangling from a ledge, holding the weight of both Obi-Wan and Dooku. His strained “Drop Dooku!” is a funny, practical solution to a very literal burden.
