STAR WARS THEME Captain? Yes, sir? Tell them we wish to board at once. With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board. 'Yes, of course. As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal.' 'And we'd be happy to receive the ambassadors.' I'm TC-14 at your service. This way, please. We are greatly honoured by your visit. Make yourselves comfortable. My master will be with you shortly. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't sense anything. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't sense anything. It's not about the mission, Master. It's something elsewhere. Elusive. Don't centre on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here, where it belongs. Yoda said to be mindful of the future. Not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living force, young Padawan. Yes, Master. How do you think this trade viceroy will deal with the Chancellor's demands? These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short. What?! What did you say?! The ambassadors are Jedi Knights. I knew it! They're here to force a settlement. Distract them. I will contact Lord Sidious. Are you brain dead?! I'm not going in there with two Jedi! Send the droid. Is it in their nature to make us wait? No. I sense an unusual amount of fear for a mere trade dispute. What is it? No. I sense an unusual amount of fear for a mere trade dispute. What is it? Your scheme has failed, Lord Sidious. The blockade is finished. We dare not go against Jedi! Viceroy, I don't want this stunted slime in my sight again. This turn of events is unfortunate. Accelerate our plans. Begin landing your troops. My Lord, is that legal? I will make it legal. And the Jedi? The Chancellor should never have brought them into this. Kill them! Yes. Yes, My Lord. Er, as you wish. Captain! Look! Sorry! Dioxis. They must be dead by now. Destroy what's left of them. Oh! Excuse me! Check it out. We'll cover you. Roger, roger. Uh-oh. Blast them! What is going on down there?! We lost the transmission, sir. Have you encountered a Jedi Knight before? Well, no, but I don't... Seal off the bridge! Yes, sir. It won't be enough, sir. I want droidekas up here at once! It won't be enough, sir. I want droidekas up here at once! We will not survive this. Close the blast doors! That will hold them. They are still coming through! This is impossible! Where are those droidekas?! Master! Destroyers! They have shield generators! It's a stand-off. Let's go! They're no match for droidekas. Sir! They've gone up the ventilation shaft. Battle droids. the ventilation shaft. Battle droids. It's an invasion army. Odd play for the Trade Federation. We must warn the Naboo and Chancellor Valorum. Let's split up. Stow aboard separate ships and meet on the planet. You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short. Sir, a transmission from the planet. It's Queen Amidala herself! At last we are getting results! Again you come before us, Your Highness. 'You will not be so pleased when you hear what I have to say. Your trade boycott of our planet has ended.' I was not aware of such failure. 'The Chancellor's ambassadors are with you and you have been commanded to reach a settlement.' I know nothing of any ambassadors. You must be mistaken. 'Beware, Viceroy.' 'The Federation has gone too far this time.' We never do anything without the approval of the Senate. You assume too much. 'We will see.' She is right. The Senate will` It is too late now! She is right. The Senate will` It is too late now! Do you think she suspects an attack? I don't know! We must move quickly to disrupt all communications down there. Negotiations haven't started because the ambassadors aren't there? How could that be true? I am assured the Chancellor's ambassadors did arrive. (HOLOGRAM BREAKS UP) Senator Palpatine? What's happening? Check the transmission generator. Senator Palpatine? What's happening? Check the transmission generator. A communications disruption can mean only one thing ` invasion. The Federation would not go so far. A communications disruption can mean only one thing ` invasion. The Federation would not go so far. The Senate would revoke their trade franchise. We must continue to rely on negotiation. Negotiation? We've lost all communications! Where are the Chancellor's ambassadors? This is a dangerous situation. Our security is no match for the Federation's army. I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war. Yes, Viceroy? I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war. Yes, Viceroy? Captain, we've searched the ship and found no trace of the Jedi. They may be on your landing craft. If they're down here, we'll find them. Use caution. These Jedi are not to be underestimated. Oh, no! Get away! Get out of here! Was'n dat? Hey, wait! Mooie-mooie! I love you! We almost got killed. You brainless? I spake. Speaking does not make you intelligent. Now go! No, no! Mesa stay! Mesa Jar Jar Binks. Mesa your humble servant. Not necessary. Mesa Jar Jar Binks. Mesa your humble servant. Not necessary.

Exsqueeze me, but de mostest safest place would be Gunga City. Is where I grew up. Tis a hidden city. A city? Huh-huh. Can you take us there? A city? Huh-huh. Can you take us there?

Huge teeth! There's always a bigger fish. Mesa tink we go on back now. The invasion is on schedule, My Lord. I have the Senate bogged down in procedures. They will have no choice but to accept your control of the system. The Queen has great faith that the Senate will side with her. Queen Amidala is young and naive. You will find controlling her will not be difficult. Yes, My Lord. You didn't tell him of the missing Jedi. No need to report that to him until we have something to report. Where wesa goin'? No need to report that to him until we have something to report. Where wesa goin'? Don't worry. The Force will guide us. Oh, maxi big, da Force (!) Well, dat smells stinkowiff. We're losing power. Well, dat smells stinkowiff. We're losing power. Oh, no! Wesa dyin' here! We're not in trouble yet. What 'yet'? Monsters out dare, leak'n in here, all sink'n and no power?!

He overdid it. (GROANS) He overdid it. (GROANS) Head for that outcropping. Oh, boy! Viceroy, we captured the Queen. Ah, victory! Mm, dis'n loverly! How will you explain this invasion to the Senate? The Queen and I will sign a treaty to legitimise our occupation. I am assured it will be ratified by the Senate. I will not cooperate. ratified by the Senate. I will not cooperate. Now, now, Your Highness. The suffering of your people will persuade you. Commander. Yes, sir? Process them. Yes, sir? Process them. Captain, take them to Camp Four. Roger, Roger. Whoops! We should leave now, Your Highness. Get their weapons. Whoa! Yousa guys bombad! We are the Chancellor's ambassadors. Whoa! Yousa guys bombad! We are the Chancellor's ambassadors. Your negotiations have failed. They never took place. We must contact the Republic. They knocked out our communications. They never took place. We must contact the Republic. They knocked out our communications. Do you have transports? We must contact the Republic. They knocked out our communications. Do you have transports? In the main hangar. This way. They knocked out our communications. There are too many of them! In the main hangar. This way. They knocked out our communications. There are too many of them! That won't be a problem. Your Highness, I suggest you come with us. Ambassador, my place is with my people. They will kill you. They wouldn't dare! She must sign a treaty to make their invasion legal. There is something else behind this, Your Highness. I feel they will destroy you. We hope that the Senate sides with us. Senator Palpatine needs you. Either choice presents great danger. To us all. We are brave, Your Highness. If you are to leave, Your Highness, it must be now. Then I will plead our case to the Senate. Be careful, Governor. We need to free those pilots. I'll deal with that. Halt! I'll deal with that. I'm taking these people to Coruscant. Where are you taking them? To Coruscant. Where are you taking them? To Coruscant. Coruscant? Er, that doesn't compute. Er, you're under arrest! Come on, move! Go! Now stay here and keep out of trouble. Hello, boyos! and keep out of trouble. Hello, boyos! (BEEPING) There's the blockade. (BLEEPING!) Shield generator's been hit! (SIRENS WAIL) (BEEPS FRANTICALLY) How wude! We're losing droids fast! If they can't fix the shield generator, we'll be sitting ducks! The shields are gone! generator, we'll be sitting ducks! The shields are gone! (BEEPS) (BLEEPING) The power's back! That little droid did it! Bypassed the main power drive! Deflector shields up at maximum. (BEEPS) There's not enough power. The hyperdrive is leaking. We'll land, refuel and repair the ship. Master, Tatooine. It's small, out of the way, poor. The Federation has no presence there. How are you sure? It's controlled by the Hutts. You can't take the Queen there! They're gangsters. If they discover her` Same as going to a Federation's system, but the Hutts aren't after her, giving us the advantage. Queen Amidala, has she signed the treaty? She has disappeared, My Lord. One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade. Ah! I want that treaty signed! My Lord,... it's impossible to locate the ship. It's out of our range. Not for a Sith. This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship. This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them! We should not have made this bargain. An extremely well-put-together droid, Your Highness. It saved the ship, as well as our lives. It is to be commended. What is its number? (BEEPS) R2-D2, Your Highness. Thank you, R2-D2. R2-D2, Your Highness. Thank you, R2-D2. (BEEPS HAPPILY) Padme! Clean this droid up as best you can. It deserves our gratitude. (BEEPS) Continue, Captain. Your Highness, with permission, we're heading for a planet called Tatooine, far beyond the reach of the Federation. I do not agree with the Jedi on this. You must trust my judgement, Your Highness. (BEEPS) Hidoe! Sorry. Husa are yousa? I'm Padme. Hidoe! Sorry. Husa are yousa? I'm Padme. Mesa Jar Jar Binks. You're a Gungan, aren't you? Huh-huh. How'd you end up here? My no know. Mesa day starten pretty okeyday withda brisky morning munchen, den boom! Getten berry scared, and grabben dat Jedi, and pow! Mesa here. Huh! Mesa getten berry scared. (BEEPS SYMPATHETICALLY) That's it. Tatooine. There's a settlement. That's it. Tatooine. There's a settlement. Land near the outskirts so as not to attract attention. Hyperdrive generator's gone. That'll complicate things. Be wary. I sense a disturbance. I feel it also, Master. Be wary. I sense a disturbance. I feel it also, Master. Don't let them send transmissions. Dis sun doen murder to mesa skin! Wait! > Wait. Her Highness commands you take her handmaiden. No more commands from Her Highness today, Captain. This is not going to be pleasant. No more commands from Her Highness today, Captain. This is not going to be pleasant. The Queen wishes it. She's curious about the planet. (SIGHS) This is not a good idea. Stay close to me. (BEEPS) Moisture farms for the most part. Some indigenous tribes and scavengers. Spaceports are havens for those who don't wish to be found. Like us. Dissen berry, berry bad. Ooo! Icky, icky goo! We'll try one of the smaller dealers. (BELL RINGS) I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian. Ah, yes! Nubian! We have lots of thata! My droid has a read-out of what I need. So-o-o-o-o, let-a me take-a thee out back, huh? You'll find what-a you need. (LAUGHS) Hm? (LAUGHS) Hm? Don't touch anything! Hm! Hm. Are you an angel? What? Are you an angel? What? An angel. I heard deep-space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures. Live on the Moons of Iego, I think. You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much? You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much? I listen to the traders and star pilots who come through. I'm a pilot. Someday I'll fly away from this place. You're a pilot? I'll fly away from this place. You're a pilot? Mm-hm. All my life. How long have you been here? Mm-hm. All my life. How long have you been here? Since I was very little. 3, I think. My mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt. But she lost us betting on the pod races. You're a slave? betting on the pod races. You're a slave? I'm a person, and my name is Anakin! I'm sorry. I don't fully understand. This is a strange place to me. Hm. Hm! Argh! Where, where, where's yousa goin'? Argh! (BEEPS) Ah! Gotcha! Hey! Hit the nose! Oh! A T-14 hyperdrive generator! Thee in luck. I'm-a the only one who has one. But thee might as well buy a new ship. It would be cheaper. Saying of which, how's-a thee gonna pay for all of this, huh? I have 20,000 Republic dataries. Saying of which, how's-a thee gonna pay for all of this, huh? I have 20,000 Republic dataries. Republic credits? They are no good! I need something more real. I have nothing else. Credits will do fine. No, they won't-a! Credits will do fine. No, they won't-a! Think you're a Jedi, waving your hand around? I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't-a work on-a me, only money! No money, no parts, no deal! And no one else has a T-14 hyperdrive, I promise you that! Wouldn't have lasted long if I couldn't build things. (SHRIEKS) We're leaving. Jar Jar? Whaa-aa-aa! I'm glad to have met you, Anakin. I was glad to meet you, too! (BEEPS) What? What? Oh. Yippee! 'Sure there's nothing left on board?' A few containers of supplies, the Queen's wardrobe, but definitely not enough for you to barter with. I'm sure another solution will arise. I'll check back later. No again! No again! Da beings hereabouts cawazy! Wesa be wobbed and crunched! Not likely. We have nothing of value. (BEEPS) Hm? Ah, mooie-mooie! Hey! Hey! Huh? Wanga? Ay! Chuba! Oops! (WHISTLES) (SNARLS) Who, mesa? Hey! Ouch! Ouch! Hi. Ouch! Ouch! Hi. Hi, there. He was about to become goo. Picked a fight with a Dug. A dangerous Dug called Sebulba. Mesa haten crunchen. Das last ting mesa wanten! The boy is right. You were heading into trouble. Thanks, my young friend. But, but, but mesa doen nutten! (WIND HOWLS) This storm will slow them down. Looks pretty bad. This storm will slow them down. Looks pretty bad. (BEEP!) Panaka. 'Receiving a message.' Be right there. Here, you'll like these pallies. Here. Thank you. Oh, my bones are aching! Storm's coming, Ani. You better get home quick. Do you have shelter? You better get home quick. Do you have shelter? We'll head back to our ship. Is it far? We'll head back to our ship. Is it far? It's on the outskirts. You won't reach it in time! Sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come on, I'll take you to my place. (BEEPS) Mom! Mom, I'm home! Ah, dissen cosy! These are my friends. Hidoe! I'm Qui-Gon Jinn... Hidoe! I'm Qui-Gon Jinn... You wanna see my droid? Your son offered us shelter. Come on, I'll show you 3PO! Oh. Mooie-mooie! Come on, I'll show you 3PO! Oh. Mooie-mooie! (BEEPS) (BEEPS) Isn't he great? He's not finished yet. He's wonderful! (BEEPS) You really like him? He's a protocol droid to help Mom. Watch. Oh! Oh! Oh! Where is everybody? Oops! (EXHALES) Yeah. Oh! Hello! I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg relations. How might I serve you? He's perfect! Oh, perfect! Later, I'll show you my racer. I'm building a Podracer. (BEEPS) I'm building a Podracer. (BEEPS) I'm not sure this floor is stable. Oh, hello. I don't believe we have met. (BEEPS) believe we have met. (BEEPS) R2-D2. A pleasure to meet you! I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg relations. (BEEPS) I beg your pardon, what do you mean, 'naked'? (BEEPS) I beg your pardon, what do you mean, 'naked'? (BEEPS) My parts are showing?! My goodness! Oh! (WIND HOWLS) The death toll is catastrophic. We must bow to their wishes. You must contact me! It's a trick. Send no reply. Send no transmissions of any kind. It sounds like bait to establish a connection. What if it is true, and the people are dying? Either way, we're running out of time. Tatooine is sparsely populated. I will find them quickly, Master. Move against the Jedi first. You will then have no difficulty in taking the Queen to Naboo. At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge. You have been well trained, my young apprentice. They will be no match for you. All slaves have a transmitter placed inside their bodies. I'm working on locating mine. Any attempt to escape... I'm working on locating mine. Any attempt to escape... And they blow you up! Boom! How wude! Any attempt to escape... And they blow you up! Boom! How wude! I can't believe there's slavery. Republic's antislavery laws` The Republic doesn't exist here. We must survive on our own. (BELCHES) Excuse me. Has anybody ever seen a Podrace? They have Podracing on Malastare. Very fast, very dangerous. I'm the only human who can do it. You must have Jedi reflexes if you race pods. Don't do that again. (SHRIEKS) You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you? What makes you think that? I saw your laser sword. Only Jedis carry that kind of weapon. Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him. I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi. I wish that were so. I had a dream I was a Jedi. I came back here and freed all the slaves. Have you come to free us? and freed all the slaves. Have you come to free us? No, I'm afraid not. I think you have. Why else would you be here? I can see there's no fooling you. We're on our way to Coruscant on a very important mission. How did you end up here in the outer rim? Our ship was damaged. We're here until we repair it. I can help! I can fix anything! (CHUCKLES) I believe you can. First we must acquire the parts we need. Wit no-nutten moolah to trade! These junk dealers must have a weakness. Gambling. Everything revolves around betting on the races. Podracing. Greed can be a powerful ally. I built a racer. It's the fastest ever! There's a big race tomorrow. You could enter my pod! Anakin! Watto won't let you. He won't know. Make him think it's yours and let me pilot it for you. I don't want you to race. I die when Watto makes you do it. But, Mom, I love it! The prize money would more than pay for the parts. Anakin! Your mother's right. Anyone friendly to the Republic who can help us? No. Mom, you say the biggest problem in this universe is nobody helps each other. (SIGHS) I'm sure Qui-Gon doesn't want to endanger your son. We'll find some other way. No. There is no other way. I may not like it, but he can help you. He was meant to help you. You sure about this, trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know? The Queen will not approve. The Queen doesn't need to know. Well, I don't approve. The boy tells me you want to sponsor him. How can you do this? Not on the Republic credits, I think, huh? My ship will be the entry fee. Oh, not bad, not bad! A Nubian, huh? Ah! In good order, except for the parts I need. What would-a the boy ride? He smashed up-a my pod! It will take long-a time to fix it. It wasn't my fault! Sebulba flashed me with his vents! I actually saved the pod! Mostly. Mm, that you did, huh? (LAUGHS) The boy's good, no doubts there, huh? I acquired a pod in a game of chance. The fastest ever built. I hope you didn't kill anyone I know for it, huh? (LAUGHS) So, you supply the pod and the entry fee, I supply the boy, we split the winnings, um, 50-50, I think, huh? If it's going to be 50-50, I suggest you front the cash for the entry. If we win, you keep all the winnings, minus the cost of the parts I need. And if we lose, you keep my ship. Either way, you win. Hm. Deal! What if this plan fails, Master? We could be stuck here a very long time. Too dangerous to call for help, a ship without power won't get us anywhere, and... there's something about this boy. You should be very proud of your son. He gives without any thought of reward. Well, he knows nothing of greed. He has a... He has special powers. Yes. He has special powers. He can see things before they happen, so appears to have such quick reflexes. It's a Jedi trait. so appears to have such quick reflexes. It's a Jedi trait. He deserves better than a slave's life. Had he been born in the Republic, we'd have identified him. The Force is unusually strong with him, that much is clear. Who was his father? There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened. Can you help him? I can't explain what happened. Can you help him? I don't know. I didn't actually come here to free slaves. (LAUGHTER) (ALL) Hi, Ani! Hi. (BEEPS) Hi. (BEEPS) Wow, a real astrodroid! How did you get so lucky? Wow, a real astrodroid! How did you get so lucky? That isn't the half of it! I'm entered in the Boonta Race! That isn't the half of it! I'm entered in the Boonta Race! What?! With this?! You been working on it for years! It won't run! Come on, let's go play ball. Keep racing, Ani. You'll be bug squash! (ALL GIGGLE) Hey, Jar Jar! Keep away from those energy binders. Your hand gets caught in the beam, it's gonna go numb for hours. (SHRIEKS) My tongue is fat! My tongue! Wrench! Where's de wrench? Oh, dare! Hey! Uh-oh! Er, I'm stuck. Ani! You know, I find that Jar Jar creature to be a little odd. (BEEPS IN AGREEMENT) You don't know if it's gonna run. It will. Time we found out. Use this power charge. Yes, sir! Kitster, let's move away. My, my mouth! Ani, I'm stuck! (GIBBERS) (GIBBERS) You're right. He's very odd. (BEEPS) Thank, thank you. (WHIRRING) It's working! It's working! Stay still. Let me clean this cut. There's so many. Do they all have a system of planets? Most of them. Has anyone been to 'em all? Hm-hm. Not likely. I wanna be the first one to see 'em all! < Ani, bedtime! Ow! There we are. Good as new. Ani, I'm not gonna tell you again! What are you doing? Ani, I'm not gonna tell you again! What are you doing? Checking your blood for infections. Go on. You have a big day tomorrow. What are you doing? (SIGHS) Go on. You have a big day tomorrow. What are you doing? (SIGHS) Sleep well, Ani. Obi-Wan? 'Yes, Master?' I need an analysis of this blood sample. Wait a minute. I need a midi-chlorian count. The reading is off the chart. Over 20,000! 'Even Master Yoda doesn't have a count that high!' No Jedi has. What does that mean? I'm not sure. I wanna see your spaceship after the race! Patience, my blue friend. You'll have your winnings soon, and we'll be gone. Not if your ship belongs to me, I think, huh? (LAUGHS) I warn you, no funny business. You don't think Anakin can win? Don't-a get-a me wrong-o. I have great faith in the boy. He's a credit to your race. But Sebulba there is-a going to win, I think. (LAUGHS) Oh, no! (MOANS PLEASURABLY) Why do you think that? He always wins! (LAUGHS) I'm-a betting heavily on-a Sebulba! I'll take that bet. I'm-a betting heavily on-a Sebulba! I'll take that bet. What?! I'll wager my new racing pod against, say, the boy and his mother. No pod is worth two slaves! Not by a long shot! The boy, then. Mm. Well-a... We'll let fate-a decide, huh? I just happen to have a chance cube here. Blue, it's the boy, red,... his mother. (SNARLS) You won this small toss, outlander, but you won't win the race, so it makes little difference! Bonapa keesa! (LAUGHS) What'd he mean by that? Bonapa keesa! (LAUGHS) What'd he mean by that?

I'm so proud of you. Oy chuba no. You! You swindled me! You knew-a the boy was a-going to win. Somehow you knew it. I lost everything. Whenever you gamble, eventually you lose. Bring the parts to the main hangar. I'll come by your shop, you release the boy. You can't have him. It wasn't a fair bet. Would you like to discuss it with the Hutts? I'm sure they can settle this. Take him. Hidoe! We have all the parts we need. I'm going back. Some unfinished business. I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form. The boy responsible for getting us these parts. Get this hyperdrive installed. The boy responsible for getting us these parts. Get this hyperdrive installed. Yes, Master, that shouldn't take long. Come on, hup! Hey, these are yours. Yes! Mom, we sold the pod. Look at all the money we have. That's so wonderful, Ani. And he has been freed. That's so wonderful, Ani. And he has been freed. What? That's so wonderful, Ani. And he has been freed. What? You're no longer a slave. Did you hear that? Now you can make your dreams come true. You're free. Will you take him with you? Is he to become a Jedi? Yes. Our meeting was not a coincidence, nor an accident. I get to come with you in your starship? Anakin, training to become a Jedi is not an easy challenge. Even if you succeed, it's a hard life. I want to go. It's what I've dreamed of doing. Can I go, Mom? Anakin, this path has been placed before you. The choice is yours alone. I want to do it. Pack your things. We haven't much time. What about Mom? Is she free, too? I tried to free your mother, but Watto refused. You're coming with us, aren't you, Mom? Son, my place is here. My future is here. It is time for you to let go. I don't want things to change. You can't stop the change, any more than you can stop the suns from setting. I love you. Now hurry. Thank you. Now hurry. Thank you. I'll watch out for him. You have my word. Will you be all right? Oh! Oh, my, oh! Hello, Master Anakin. Well, 3PO, I've been freed. And I'm going away in a starship. You made me and I wish you well. However, I'd prefer it if I were a little more completed. I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish you. Give you coverings and all. I'll miss working on you. You've been a great pal. I'll make sure Mom doesn't sell you. Sell me? Bye. Oh, my! I can't do it, Mom, I just can't do it. Ani... Will I ever see you again? What does your heart tell you? I hope so. Yes. I guess. Then we will see each other again. I will come back and free you, Mom. I promise. Now, be brave. And don't look back. Don't look back. Qui-Gon, sir, wait, I'm tired. Anakin, drop! Go! Tell them to take off! Qui-Gon's in trouble. Take off. Over there. Fly low. Are you all right? I think so. What was it? I think so. What was it? I'm not sure. But it was well trained in the Jedi arts. What was it? My guess is he was after the Queen. well trained in the Jedi arts. What was it? My guess is he was after the Queen. What are we gonna do about it? We shall be patient. Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're a Jedi, too? Pleased to meet you. Your Queen is lost, your people are starving and you, Governor, are going to die sooner than your people. This invasion will gain you nothing. We're a democracy. The people have decided. Take him away. My troops are ready to search the swamps for these rumoured underwater villages. They will not stay hidden for long. The death toll is catastrophic. We must bow to their wishes. You must contact me. Are you all right? It's very cold. (JAR JAR MUMBLES) You've come from a warm planet, Ani. A little too warm for my taste. Space is cold. You seem sad. The Queen is worried. Her people are suffering, dying. She must convince the Senate to intervene or... I'm not sure what'll happen. I made this for you. So you'd remember me. I carved it out of a japor snippet. It'll bring you good fortune. It's beautiful. But I don't need this to remember you by. Many things will change when we reach the capital. But my caring for you will remain. I care for you, too. Only I... Miss your mother. Coruscant. The entire planet is one big city. There's Chancellor Valorum's shuttle. Senator Palpatine is waiting for us. It is a great gift to see you alive, Your Majesty. With the communications breakdown, we were concerned. I'd like to hear your report. May I present Supreme Chancellor Valorum. Welcome, Your Highness. It is an honour to meet you. Thank you, Supreme Chancellor. Everyone is distressed over the situation. A Senate session will hear your position. over the situation. A Senate session will hear your position. I'm grateful for your concern. There is a question of procedure. I think we can overcome it. I must speak with the Jedi Council. The situation has become complicated. Ani, come on. The queen's a-being grossly nice, mesa tinks. Pretty hot. There is no civility, only politics. The Republic is not what it once was. The Senate is full of greedy, squabbling delegates. There is no interest in the common good. I must be frank. I doubt the Senate will act on the invasion. Chancellor Valorum thinks there's hope. The Chancellor has little real power. He is mired by baseless accusations of corruption. The bureaucrats are in charge. He is mired by baseless accusations of corruption. The bureaucrats are in charge. What options have we? accusations of corruption. The bureaucrats are in charge. What options have we? Our best choice would be for the election of a stronger Supreme Chancellor to control the bureaucrats. And gives us justice. You could call for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum. He's been our strongest supporter. Our only other choice would be to submit a plea to the courts. They take longer to decide things than the Senate. Our people are dying, Senator. We must act quickly to stop the Federation. To be realistic, Your Majesty, I think we're going to have to accept Federation control for now. That is something I cannot do. He was trained in the Jedi arts. My only conclusion could be that it was a Sith Lord. Impossible. The Sith have been extinct for a millennium. I don't believe the Sith could have returned without us knowing. have been extinct for a millennium. I don't believe the Sith could have returned without us knowing. Ah. Hard to see, the dark side is. We will try to unravel this mystery. We'll discover the identity of your attacker. May the Force be with you. Master Qui-Gon, more to say, have you? With your permission, my Master. I have encountered a vergence in the Force. A vergence, you say? Located around a person? A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life form. He may have been conceived by the midi-chlorians. The prophecy of the one who'll bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this... boy? I don't presume to... You believe it's this... boy? I don't presume to... But you do. Revealed your opinion is. I request the boy be tested. Oh? Trained as a Jedi you request for him, hmm? Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt about it. (SIGHS) Bring him before us, then. The boy's here to see Padme. Bring him before us, then. The boy's here to see Padme. 'Let him in.' I'm sorry, but Padme's not here right now. Who is it? Anakin Skywalker to see Padme, Your Highness. I have sent Padme on an errand. Anakin Skywalker to see Padme, Your Highness. I have sent Padme on an errand. I'm on my way to the Jedi temple to start my training, I hope. I may never see her again so I came to say goodbye. We will tell her for you. Her heart goes with you. Thank you, Your Highness. The Chair recognises the senator from the sovereign system of Naboo. Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the Senate, a tragedy has occurred which started right here with the taxation of trade routes and has now engulfed our entire planet in the oppression of the Trade Federation. I object to the Senator's statements. The Chair does not recognise the senator from the Trade Federation at this time. To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of the Naboo, who speaks on our behalf. (ASSEMBLY MURMURS) Honourable representatives of the Republic, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. Naboo has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade` gravest of circumstances. Naboo has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade` I object. There is no proof. This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth. The Congress of Malastare concurs. A commission must be appointed. The point... The Congress of Malastare concurs. A commission must be appointed. The point... Excuse me, Chancellor. A commission must be appointed. The point... Excuse me, Chancellor. Enter the bureaucrat. The true rulers of the Republic. And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear. The point is conceded. Will you defer your motion while a commission explores your accusations? I will not defer. I've come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee. If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership. (CHANTS OF 'VOTE NOW!') Order! Now they will elect a new Chancellor. A strong Chancellor. One who will not let our tragedy continue. The boy will not pass the Council's test. He's too old. Anakin will become a Jedi, I promise you. Do not defy the Council, Master. Not again. I promise you. Do not defy the Council, Master. Not again. I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan. If you would just follow the code, you would be on the Council. They will not go along with you this time. You still have much to learn, my young apprentice. A ship. A cup. A ship. A speeder. Hmm. How feel you? Cold, sir. Afraid, are you? No, sir. See through you, we can. Be mindful of your feelings. See through you, we can. Be mindful of your feelings. Your thoughts dwell on your mother. I miss her. Afraid to lose her, I think, hm? What's that got to do with anything? Afraid to lose her, I think, hm? What's that got to do with anything? Everything. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you. Yousa tinken yousa people gonna die? I don't know. Gungans get pasted, too, eh? I hope not. Gungans no die'n without a fight. Wesa warriors. Wesa gotta grand army. Dat's why you no liken us, mesa tinks. Your Highness? Your Highness. Senator Palpatine has been nominated to succeed Valorum as Supreme Chancellor. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Your Majesty, if elected, I promise to put an end to corruption. Who else has been nominated? Your Majesty, if elected, I promise to put an end to corruption. Who else has been nominated? Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Ainlee Teem of Malastare. I feel confident our situation will create a strong sympathy vote for us. I will be Chancellor. By the time you have control, Senator, there will be nothing left of our people. I understand your concern, but the Federation controls our planet. Senator, this is your arena. I feel I must return to mine. I've decided to go back to Naboo. Go back? But they'll force you to sign the treaty. I will sign no treaty, Senator. My fate will be no different than that of our people. Captain, ready my ship. Please, stay here where it's safe. It's clear that the Republic no longer functions. I pray you will bring sanity and compassion back to the Senate. The Force is strong with him. He is to be trained, then? No, he will not be trained. No? He is too old. He is the chosen one. You must see it. Hmmmm. Clouded this boy's future is. I will train him. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner. An apprentice you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible to take on a second. The code forbids it. An apprentice you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible to take on a second. The code forbids it. Obi-Wan is ready. Impossible to take on a second. The code forbids it. Obi-Wan is ready. I am ready for the trials. Our own counsel we will keep on who is ready. He is headstrong and he has much to learn, but he's capable. There is little more he can learn from me. Young Skywalker's fate will be decided later. Now is not the time for this. The Senate is voting for a Supreme Chancellor and the Queen is returning home. It may put pressure on the Federation, widen the confrontation. returning home. It may put pressure on the Federation, widen the confrontation. And draw out the Queen's attacker. Go with the Queen to Naboo. Discover the identity of the dark warrior. This is the clue we need to unravel the mystery of the Sith. May the Force be with you. It's not disrespect. It's the truth. From your point of view. The boy is dangerous. They all sense it. Why can't you? His fate is uncertain. He's not dangerous. The Council will decide Anakin's future. Now get on board. Qui-Gon, sir, I don't want to be a problem. You won't be, Ani. I'm not allowed to train you. So watch me and be mindful. Always remember, your focus determines your reality. Stay close to me and you'll be safe. Master, sir, I heard Yoda talking about midi-chlorians. I've been wondering, what are midi-chlorians? A microscopic life form that reside within all living cells. They live inside me? Inside your cells, yes. We are symbionts with them. Symbionts? We are symbionts with them. Symbionts? Life forms, living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking. I don't understand. With time and training, you will. You will. Your Majesty, it is our pleasure to serve and protect you. I welcome your help. Palpatine fears the Federation means to destroy me. I will not allow that to happen. Wesa goen home! Come on, R2. Is the planet secure? We have taken over the last pockets of primitive life forms. We are in complete control of the planet. Good. I will see that in the Senate things stay as they are. I'm sending my apprentice, Darth Maul, to join you. Yes, my Lord. A Sith, here? Those are the forward stabilisers. And those two control the pitch. You catch on pretty quick. As soon as we land, the Federation will force you to sign the treaty. I agree. I'm not sure what you wish to accomplish by this. I will take back what's ours. There are too few of us. We have no army. There are too few of us. We have no army. And I can only protect you. I can't fight a war for you. Jar Jar Binks? Mesa, Your Highness? Yes, I need your help. One battleship on my scope. A droid control ship. They probably spotted us. A droid control ship. They probably spotted us. We haven't much time. Jar Jar's on his way to the Gungan city. Do you think the Queen's idea will work? The Gungans will not be easily swayed. And we can not use our power to help her. I'm sorry for my behaviour, Master. It's not my place to disagree with you about the boy. And I am grateful you think I'm ready to take the trials. You've been a good apprentice, Obi-Wan. And you're a much wiser man than I am. I foresee you will become a great Jedi Knight. (INSECTS CHIRRUP) Dare-sa nobody there. Da Gungan city is deserted. Some kinda fighting, mesa thinks. You think they were taken to the camps? More likely they were wiped out. Mesa no tink so. You know where they are? Mesa no tink so. You know where they are? When in trouble, Gungans go to sacred place. Mesa show you, come on, mesa show you. Your Honour, Queen Amidala of the Naboo. Heyo-dadee, Big Boss Nass, Your Honour. Jar Jar Binks! Whos da ussen uthers? I am Queen Amidala of the Naboo. I come before you in peace. Ahh, Naboo biggen. Yousa bringen da Machineeks. Yousa all bombad. We have searched you out because we wish to form an alliance. Your Honour... Whosa dis? I am Queen Amidala. This is my decoy, my protection, my loyal bodyguard. I'm sorry for my deception, but I had to protect myself. Although we do not always agree, our societies have always lived in peace. The Federation has destroyed everything. If we don't act quickly, all will be lost. I ask you to help us. No, I beg you to help us. We are your humble servants. Our fate is in your hands. Hmmmm. Ha! (LAUGHS) Yousa no tinken yousa greater den da Gungans? (CHUCKLES) Meeeesa lika dis! Maybe wesa being friends. (GUNGANS CHEER) We've sent out patrols. We've located their starship in the swamp. It won't be long. This is an unexpected move for her. It's too aggressive. Lord Maul, be mindful. Let them make the first move. Yes, my Master. Deysa comin'! All right! They're here. All right! They're here. Good, they made it. Yousa doen grand. Jar Jar bring ussen and da Naboo together. No, no, no. So, wesa make you Bombad General. General? (CHUCKLES) What is the situation? (CHUCKLES) What is the situation? Almost everyone in camps. Some police and guards have formed an underground resistance movement. The Federation army is larger than we thought. And stronger. Your Highness, this is a battle I do not think we can win. The battle is a diversion. The Gungans must draw the droid army away from the cities. R2. We can enter the city via the secret passages by the waterfall. At the main entrance, Panaka will create a diversion. Then we can enter the palace and capture the Viceroy. Without the Viceroy, they will be lost and confused. What do you think? they will be lost and confused. What do you think? The Viceroy is well-guarded. Access to the throne room is difficult. Once inside, there should be no problem. room is difficult. Once inside, there should be no problem. Possibly, with a diversion, many Gungans might die. Wesa ready to do our-san part. We have a plan to immobilise the droid army. We will send our pilots to knock out the droid control ship. Well-conceived. However, there's great risk. The weapons on your fighters may not penetrate the shields. If the Viceroy escapes, he will return with another army. We must not fail to get the Viceroy. Everything depends on it. She is more foolish than I thought. We are sending more troops to meet this army assembling near the swamp. It's made up of primitives. This will work to our advantage. I have your approval to proceed? Wipe them out. All of them. (HORN SOUNDS) Halt! Startin' up da shield. (SHIELD BUZZES) (VEHICLES HUM) Open fire! Once we get inside, find a safe place to hide and stay there. Sure. Stay there! Roger, Roger! I thought the battle would be far from here. This is too close. Ani, find cover. Quick! Get to your ships. Fighters ahead. Quick! Get to your ships. Fighters ahead. Roger, Bravo Leader. Get to your ships. Fighters ahead. Roger, Bravo Leader. Roger! Cease fire. Steady, steady. Activate the droids. Steady, steady. Activate the droids. Yes, sir. (GULPS) Ouch time. Fire! The Viceroy's in the throne room. Red group, blue group. Everybody this way. Hey, wait for me. Anakin, stay where you are. But I... Stay in that cockpit! We'll handle this. Stay in that cockpit! We'll handle this. We'll take the long way. We've gotta do something. (BEEPS) I'm trying to. Where's the trigger? Oops. Wrong button. Maybe this one. Nope. Wait. Here it is. Let's go. It's on automatic pilot. Try to override it. We don't have time for this. There they are. That's where the autopilot's taking us. Dumb droid, take that. Get off! Get off! Get off! Deflector shield is too strong. This is tense. R2, get us off autopilot. It'll get us both killed. You did it, R2. Go left. (BEEPS) Go left. (BEEPS) Go back? Qui-Gon told me to stay in this cockpit. That's what I'm doing. I'll try spinning ` that's a good trick. I know we're in trouble. Hang on! Go! Ascension guns. (GUNSHOT / WINDOW SMASHES) (WHISTLES) Retreat! Dis is nutsan. Uh-oh. Big boomers. Uh-oh. Gimme a lift. Oooaaahhh! Ussen da booma. Oooaaahhh! Ussen da booma. Mesa no have a booma. Oooaaahhh! Ussen da booma. Mesa no have a booma. Here, taken dis one. Ooh, ooh, ooh! Ah! Ah, ah, ah! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Ah! Jar Jar, jump, Jar Jar! Put down your weapons. They win this round. We're hit, R2. Ah! (BEEPS) I'm trying to stop! I'm trying to stop! Everything's overheated. Oops! This is not good. No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! No giben up, General Jar Jar. Mesa think of something. Hands up! Mesa think of something. Hands up! My give up. My give up. Your little insurrection is at an end. Time for you to sign the treaty and end the debate in the Senate. Viceroy, your occupation here has ended. After her. This one's a decoy. Captain! Jam the doors! Now, Viceroy, we will discuss a new treaty. Yes, we have power. Shields up. Take this! And this! Oops. There's trouble in the main reactor. Impossible. Nothing can get through our shield. Let's get out of here. It's blowing up from the inside. We didn't hit it. Now, this is Podracing. Look! One of ours! Whoooo! (DROIDS POWER DOWN) Was'n dey doin'? The control ship has been destroyed. Look! Dey all broke-ed. (ALL CHEER) It's... it's too late. No! Obi-Wan, promise... promise me you will train the boy. Yes, Master. He... is the chosen one. He... will bring balance. Train him. Now, Viceroy, you're going to have to explain this to the Senate. You can kiss your trade franchise goodbye. We are indebted to you for your bravery, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And you, young Skywalker. We will watch your career with interest. Congratulations on your election. Your boldness has saved our people. You should be congratulated. Together we shall bring peace and prosperity to the Republic. Confer on you the level of Jedi Knight the Council does. But agree with your taking on this Padawan learner, I do not. Qui-Gon believed in him. The chosen one, the boy may be. Nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training. Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council, if I must. Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that you do not. Agree with you, the Council does. Your apprentice, Skywalker will be. (WHINES) What will happen to me now? The Council have granted me permission to train you. You will be a Jedi. I promise. There's no doubt the mysterious warrior was a Sith. Always two, there are. No more, no less. A master... and an apprentice. But which was destroyed? The master or the apprentice?
