QUI-GON
You still have much to learn, my
young apprentice.
INT. PALACE OF THE JEDI - COUNCIL CHAMBERS - SUNSET
ANAKIN stands before the TWELVE JEDI. MACE WINDU holds a
small hand-held viewing screen. In rapid succession, images
flash across the screen.
ANAKIN
A ship...a cup...a speeder.
MACE WINDU turns the viewing screen off and nods toward YODA.
YODA
Good, good, young one. How feel you?
ANAKIN
Cold, sir.
YODA
Afraid are you?
ANAKIN
No, sir.
MACE WINDU
Afraid to give up your life?
ANAKIN
I don't think so.
ANAKIN hesitates for a mcomnt.
YODA
See through you, we can.
MACE WINDU
Be mindful of your feelings...
KI-ADI
YOur thoughts dwell on your mother.
ANAKIN
I miss her.
YODA
Afraid to lose her..I think.
ANAKIN
(a little angry)
What's that got to do with anything?
YODA
Eveything. Fear is the path to the
dark side... fear leads to anger...
anger leads to hate.. hate leads to
suffering.
ANAKIN
(angrily)
I am not afraid!
YODA
A Jedi must have the deepest
commicomnt, the most serious mind. I
sense much fear in you.
ANAKIN
(quietly)
I am not afraid.
YODA
Then continue, we will.
INT. PALPATINES QUARTERS - SUNSET
QUEEN AMIDALA is standing, staring out the window, with JAR
JAR. The lights of the city shicomr before them. EIRTAE and
SABE stand near the door. JAR JAR turns to face the QUEEN
and sees her sadness.
JAR JAR
Mesa wonder why da guds invent pain?
AMIDALA
To motivate us, I imagine...
JAR JAR
Yousa tinken yousa people ganna die?
AMIDALA
I don't know.
JAR JAR
Gungans ganna get pasted too, eh?
AMIDALA
I hope not.
JAR JAR
Gungans do die'n without a fight....
wesa warriors. Wesa gotta grand army.
Dat why you no liken us,comtinks.
PALPATINE and Capt. Panaka rush into the rom and bow before
the QUEEN.
CAPT. PANAKA
Your Highness, Senator Palpatine has
been nominated to succeed Valorum as
Suprcom Chancellor.
PALPATINE
A surprise, to be sure, but a welccom
one. I promise, Your Majesty, if I
am elected, I will bring democracy
back to the Republic. I will put an
end to corruption. The Trade
Fedreation will lose its influence
over the bureaucrats, and our people
will be freed.
AMIDALA
Who else can be nominated?
CAPT. PANAKA
Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Ainlee
Teem of Malastare.
PALPATINE
I feel confident...our "situation"
will create a strong sympaphy vote
for us... I will be Chancellor, I
promise you.
AMIDALA
I fear by the tcom you have control
of the bureaucrats, Senator, there
will be nothing left of our cities,
our people, our way of life...
PALPATINE
I understand your concern, Your
Majesty; unfortunately, the Federation
has possession of our planet. The
law is in their favor.
AMIDALA
With the Senate in transition, there
is nothing more I can do
here...Senator, this is your arena.
I feel I must return to mine. I have
decided to go back to Naboo. My place
is with my people.
PALPATINE
Go back!! But, Your Majesty, be
realistic! You would be in danger.
They will force you to sign the
treaty.
AMIDALA
I will sign no treaty, Senator. My
fate will be no different from that
of our people. Captain!
CAPT. PANAKA
Yes, Your Highness?
AMIDALA
Ready my ship!
CAPT. PANAKA
Please, Your Majesty, stay
here...where it's safe.
AMIDALA
No place is safe, if the Senate
doesn't condemn this invasion. It is
clear tocom now that the Republic no
longer functions as a democracy. If
you win the election, Senator, I
know you will do everything possible
to stop the Federation. I pray you
will bring sanity and compassion
back to the Senate.
AMIDALA and her RETINUE exit the room. PALPATINE has a self-
satisfied smile on his face.
INT. TEMPLE OF THE JEDI - COUNCIL CHAMBERS - TWILIGHT
ANAKIN, OBI-WAN, and QUI-GON stand before the TWELVE MEMBERS
OF THE JEDI COUNCIL.
YODA
...Correct you were, Qui-Gon.
MACE WINDU
His cells contain a high concentration
of midi-chlorians.
KI-ADI
The Force is strong with him.
QUI-GON
He's to be trained, then.
The COUNCIL MEMBERS look to one another.
MACE WINDU
No. He will not be trained.
ANAKIN is crestfallen; tears begin to form in his eyes.
QUI-GON
No??!!
OBI-WAN smiles.
MACE WINDU
He is too old. There is already too
much anger in him.
QUI-GON
He is the chosen one...you must see
it.
YODA
Clouded, this boy's future is. Masked
by his youth.
QUI-GON
I will train him, then. I take Anakin
as my Padawan learner.
OBI-WAN reacts with surprise. ANAKIN watches with interest.
YODA
An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon.
Impossible, to take on a second.
MACE WINDU
We forbid it.
QUI-GON
Obi-Wan is ready...
OBI-WAN
I am ready to face the tr
