Расчёт длительности 3-го эпизода, выполненный гуру  Pablo Hidalgo:
Question: How much time passes In Revenge of the Sith? Some people online say It's months because Padme Is only just pregnant when she meets Anakin and has children by the end, but I don't think that's right. Is there any official word on this?
Answer: Kudos to Padme's concealment skills that enough people out there are of the impression that months transpire in Episode III. In truth, Natalie Portman is wearing the same prosthetic tummy throughout the film prior to the scene where Padme gives birth, including the early sequence where she breaks the news to Anakin. The formal Senatorial costumes designed for her were specifically crafted to hide her maternal secret.
In other words, Episode III transpires over days, not months. Analysis of the sсript and internal notes peg the Revenge of the Sith time span as nine days. This is an estimate— there are no hard notes on time passing in the film, and sunset on one planet clearly doesn't mean a new day dawns on another. Fortunately, much of the action happens on Coruscant, which has a 24-hour day that conveniently meshes well with our terrestrial timekeeping standards.
Day One starts, of course, with the space battle and ends with Anakin's initial dreams of Padme's death. On the morning of Day Two, Anakin consults with Yoda. By day's end, he hears of Darth Plageuis from Palpatine at the opera. On Day Three, on a bright and sunny afternoon, Obi-Wan is dispatched from Coruscant once the Jedi Council learns that Grievous is on Utapau. Although cut from the film, a scene would depict Padme formally petitioning Chancellor Palpatine to end the war with a delegation of
disgruntled Senators. The warm amber hues that lit the scene indicate it was at dusk of Day Three.
Day Four, Obi-Wan arrives on Utapau and Anakin discovers the truth about Palpatine. The haunting scene of Skywalker and Padme staring out at each other and connecting despite the gulf of skyscrapers happens at dusk of that day. That night, the Republic is sunk as Anakin makes a pact with the devil in Palpatine's office.
In the early hours of Day Five, Bail Organa leaves Coruscant—the matte painting of the Senate landing complex originally had it brightly lit with afternoon sun, but it was darkened once the scene was moved up into the early hours of the day. Bail logs a lot of interstellar mileage on Day Five as he picks up Yoda and Obi-Wan. By that night, Palpatine declares himself Emperor. The next bright sunny day is Day Six, when Obi-Wan visits with Padme to determine where Anakin went. It's sunset again when he sneaks aboard her vessel.
Day Seven is the day of the momentous duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar. If we take the crosscutting between Coruscant and Mustafar to be a literal depiction of simultaneous events, then it's late in the day as Yoda flees the Senate building. Day Eight has Padme giving birth to Luke and Leia, while Vader is rebuilt on Coruscant.
On Day Nine, we see Naboo during the day as the Tantive IV arrives to deliver Padme's body. The remainder of Day Nine is hazy since the movie switches to a more stylized depiction of closure across the galaxy. I say stylized because it conforms to cinematic conventions not realistic ones—surely Obi-Wan and the Larses would have exchanged a few words during the handoff of Luke Skywalker. But since Star Wars movies end wordlessly, they're kept mum.
Day Nine may include the Naboo funeral, the delivery of Luke and Leia on Tatooine and Alderaan respectively, and the Emperor and Vader admiring the Death Star under construction. Or, those events may happen at different times and are gathered together editorially to properly end the cinematic journey we've just experienced.
