watch now! detail...
senator, we're makingour final approachinto coruscant. very good, lieutenant. [ droid beeping ] [ grunts ]we made it. [ man ] i guess i was wrong. there was no danger at all. corde. milady, i'm so sorry. i've failed you, senator.
no. milady, you're stillin danger here. i shouldn't havecome back. this vote is very important. you did your duty.corde did hers. now, come. senator amidala, please. i don't knowhow much longer i can hold off the vote,my friends. more and morestar systems are joiningthe separatists.
if they do break away-- i will not letthis republic... that has stoodfor a thousand yearsbe split in two. my negotiationswill not fail. if they do, you must realize there aren't enough jedi to protect the republic. we're keepers of the peace,not soldiers. master yoda. do you thinkit will really come to war? hmm, the dark sideclouds everything.
impossible to seethe future is. [ speaking huttese ] good. [ huttese ] send them in. we will discuss this matter later. senator amidala,your tragedy onthe landing platform-- terrible. seeing you alive bringswarm feelings to my heart.
do you have any ideawho was behind this attack? our intelligence pointsto disgruntled spice minerson the moons of naboo. i think thatcount dooku was behind it. he is a political idealist,not a murderer. you know, milady,count dooku was once a jedi. he couldn'tassassinate anyone.it's not in his character. but for certain, senator, in grave danger you are. master jedi,may i suggest...
the senator be placed... under the protectionof your graces. do you really thinkthat's a wise decisionunder these stressful times? chancellor,if i may comment,i do not believe-- the situationis that serious? no, but i do, senator. i realize all too well that additional security... might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you're familiar with.
an old friend,like master kenobi. that's possible. he's just returnedfrom a border disputeon ansion. do it for me, milady.please? the thought of losing you... is unbearable. i will have obi-wanreport to you immediately,milady. [ senator amidala ] thank you, master windu. you seem a little on edge.
not at all. i haven't felt youthis tense... since we fellinto that nest of gundarks. [ scoffs ]you fell intothat nightmare, master, and i rescued you,remember? oh... yes. [ laughing ] [ chuckles ] you're sweating. relax.take a deep breath.
i haven't seen herin ten years, master. obi? obi! mesa so smilento seein yousa! good to see you again,jar jar. senator padme. mesa palos here!lookie, lookie, senator. desa jedi arriven. it's a great pleasureto see you again, milady. it has been far too long,master kenobi.
ani? my goodness,you've grown. so have you.grown more beautiful,i mean. well, f-for a senator,i mean. ani, you'll always bethat little boy i knewon tatooine. our presence herewill be invisible, milady,i can assure you. i'm captain typhoof her majesty'ssecurity service. queen jamilliahas been informedof your assignment. i am grateful you are here,master kenobi. the situation ismore dangerous thanthe senator will admit.
i don't need more security.i need answers. i want to knowwho's trying to kill me. we are hereto protect you, senator, not to startan investigation. we will find outwho's tryingto kill you, padme. i promise you. we will not exceedour mandate, my young padawan learner. i meant thatin the interest ofprotecting her, master.
we will not go through this exercise again, anakin, and you willpay attention to my lead. why? what? why else do you thinkwe were assigned to herif not to find the killer? protection is a jobfor local security,not jedi. it's overkill, master.investigation is impliedin our mandate. we will doexactly as the councilhas instructed. and you will learnyour place, young one.
perhaps with merelyyour presence... the mystery surroundingthis threat will be revealed. now, if you'll excuse me, i will retire. i know i'll feel betterhaving you here. i'll have an officerstationed on every floor, and i'll be in the controlcenter downstairs. mesa busten wit happinessseein yousa again, ani. she hardly even recognized me, jar jar.
i've thought about herevery day since we parted,and... she's forgotten mecompletely. shesa happy.happier den mesa seein herin a longo time. you're focusingon the negative, anakin. be mindfulof your thoughts. she was pleased to see us. now, let's checkthe security. i hit the ship,but they used a decoy. we'll have to trysomething more subtlethis time, zam.
my clientis getting impatient.take these. be careful.they're very poisonous. zam, there can beno mistakes this time. captain typho hasmore than enoughmen downstairs. no assassin wouldtry that way. any activity up here? quiet as a tomb. i don't like justwaiting here for somethingto happen to her. [ beeping ]
what's going on? ah, she coveredthe cameras. i don't thinkshe liked me watching her. what is she thinking? she programmed r2to warn usif there is an intruder. [ obi-wan ] there are many other ways to kill a senator. [ anakin ] i know, but we also want to catch this assassin, don't we, master? you're using heras bait.
it was her idea. don't worry.no harm will come to her. i can sense everythinggoing on in that room. trust me. it's too risky. besides, your sensesaren't that attuned,my young apprentice. and yours are? possibly. you look tired.
i don't sleep wellanymore. because of your mother? i don't know whyi keep dreaming about her. dreams pass in time. i'd much rather dreamabout padme. just being around heragain is... intoxicating. be mindfulof your thoughts, anakin.they betray you. you've made a commitmentto the jedi order, a commitmentnot easily broken.
and don't forget,she's a politician, and they're notto be trusted. [ anakin ] she's not like the others in the senate, master. [ obi-wan ] it is my experience that senators... focus only on pleasing those who fund their campaigns, and they're in no means scared of forgetting the niceties of democracy... in order to get those funds. not another lecture. at least not on the economics of politics.
[ r2-d2 beeps ] and besides, you're generalizing. the chancellor doesn'tappear to be corrupt. palpatine is a politician. [ obi-wan ] i have observed that he is very clever... in following the passions and the prejudices of the senators. i think he's a good man.my-- i sense it too. [ gasps ]
[ whirring ] stay here! are you all right, milady? ah! [ horn honking ] what the-- [ cursing in huttese ] jedi poo doo! what took you so long?
oh, you know, master. i couldn't find a speederthat i really liked, there he is. with the open cockpitand the rightspeed capabilities. if you spent as much time practicing yoursaber techniquesas you do your wit, you would rival master yodaas a swordsman. i thought i already did. only in your mind,my very young apprentice.
pull up, anakin.pull up! you know i don't like itwhen you do that. sorry, master. i forgotyou don't like flying. i don't mind flying,but what you're doingis suicide. anakin! how many timeshave i told you-- ah!-- ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! stay away frompower couplings! that was good!
where are you going?he went that way. master,if we keep this chasegoing any longer, that creep isgonna end up deep-fried, and, personally,i'd very much like tofind out who he is and who he's working for. this is a shortcut.i think. well, you've lost him. i'm deeply sorry, master. that was some shortcut,anakin.
he went completelythe other way. once againyou've proved-- if you'll excuse me. i hate itwhen he does that. [ grunting ] [ engine accelerating ] [ shouting, grunting ] [ onlookers murmuring ] anakin!
she wentinto the club, master. patience. use the force. think. he went in there to hide,not to run. yes, master. next time,try not to lose it. this weapon is your life. i try, master. why do i get the feelingyou're going to bethe death of me?
don't say that, master. you're the closest thingi have to a father. then why don't youlisten to me? i am trying. [ cheering, shouting ] can you see him? i think he is a she, and i thinkshe is a changeling. in that case,be extra careful.
go and find her. where are you going, master? for a drink. thank you. you wanna buysome death sticks? you don't want tosell me death sticks. i don't want tosell you death sticks. you want to go home... and rethink your life.
i want to go homeand rethink my life. [ patron shouting in huttese ] [ patrons laughing ] [ cheering ] [ screaming ] [ patrons gasping ] [ moaning, grunting ] easy. jedi business.go back to your drinks. [ groaning ]
do you know who it wasyou were trying to kill? [ moans ] it wasa senator from naboo. and who hired you? it was just a job. who hired you? tell us. tell us now! it was a bounty huntercalled-- [ gagging ] wee shahnit... sleemo. toxic dart.
[ yoda ]track down this bounty hunteryou must, obi-wan. most importantly,find outwho he's working for. what aboutsenator amidala? she will stillneed protecting. handle thatyour padawan will. anakin,escort the senator backto her home planet of naboo. she'll be safer there.and don't useregistered transport. travel as refugees. as the leaderof the opposition,it will be very difficult...
to get senator amidalato leave the capital. until caught this killer is, our judgmentshe must respect. hmm. [ windu ] anakin, go to the senate... and ask chancellor palpatineto speak with herabout this matter. i will talk with her.senator amidala will notrefuse an executive order. i know her well enoughto assure you of that. thank you,your excellency.
and so, they've finallygiven you an assignment. your patience has paid off. your guidancemore than my patience. you don't need guidance,anakin. in time, you will learnto trust your feelings. then you willbe invincible. i have said it many times:you are the most gifted jedii have ever met. i see you becomingthe greatest of allthe jedi, anakin, even more powerfulthan master yoda.
i am concernedfor my padawan. he is not ready to begiven this assignmenton his own yet. [ yoda ]the council is confidentin its decision, obi-wan. [ windu ]the boy hasexceptional skills. but he still hasmuch to learn, master. his abilities havemade him, well, arrogant. yes, yes. a flaw more and morecommon among jedi. too sure of themselvesthey are.
even the older,more experienced ones. remember, obi-wan,if the prophecy is true, your apprentice isthe only one who canbring the force back into balance. [ padme ] i'm taking an extended leave of absence. it will be your responsibility to take my place in the senate. representative binks,i know i can count on you. hmm? mesa honoredto be taking ondissa heavy burden.
mesa accept thiswith muy, muy humilityand, uh-- jar jar, i don't wishto hold you up. i'm sure you havea great deal to do. of course. milady. i do not likethis idea of hiding. don't worry. now thatthe council has orderedan investigation, it won't takemaster obi-wan longto find this bounty hunter. i haven't worked for a yearto defeat the militarycreation act...
to not be herewhen its fate is decided. sometimes we must let goof our pride and dowhat is requested of us. anakin, you've grown up. master obi-wanmanages not to see it. don't get me wrong.obi-wan is a great mentor. as wise asmaster yoda and... as powerfulas master windu. i am truly thankfulto be his apprentice. in some ways--a lot of ways--
i'm really ahead of him. i'm ready for the trials, but he feels that i'm too unpredictable. he won't let me move on. that must be frustrating. it's worse. he's overly critical.he never listens. he-- he doesn't understand. it's not fair!
all mentors have a way ofseeing more of our faultsthan we would like. it's the only way we grow. [ sighs ]i know. anakin. don't try to grow uptoo fast. but i am grown up. you said it yourself. please don't look at melike that. why not?
it makes mefeel uncomfortable. sorry, milady. be safe, milady. thank you, captain. take good care of dorme.the threat's on you two now. he'll be safe with me. you'll be fine. it's not me, milady. i worry about you.what if they realizeyou've left the capital?
well, then my jedi protectorwill have to provehow good he is. don't do anythingwithout first consultingeither myself or the council. i'll get tothe bottom of this plotquickly, milady. you'll be back herein no time. i'll be most gratefulfor your speed,master jedi. it's time to go. i know. anakin, may the forcebe with you. may the force bewith you, master.
suddenly i'm afraid. this is my firstassignment on my own.i am too. don't worry.we have r2 with us. i do hopehe doesn't tryanything foolish. i'd be more concernedabout her doing somethingthan him. someone to see ya, honey! jedi, by the looks of him. obi-wan! hello, dex.
take a seat.i'll be right with ya. you wannacup o' jawa juice? oh, yes. thank you. hey, old buddy! [ both laughing ] ohhh.[ coughs ] so, my friend,what can i do for ya? you can tell mewhat this is. well, whattaya know!
i ain't seen one of thesesince i was prospectin'... on subterrel, beyond the outer rim. [ obi-wan ] can you tell mewhere it came from?thank you. [ dex ]this baby belongsto them cloners. what you got hereis a kamino saberdart. i wonder whyit didn't show upin the analysis archives. it's these funnylittle cuts on the sidethat give it away. those analysis droidsonly focus on symbols. huh! i should think thatyou jedi would havemore respect...
for the differencebetween knowledge and... [ laughing ]wisdom. well, if droids could think,there'd be none of us here,would there? kamino.i'm not familiar with it.is it in the republic? no, no.it's beyond the outer rim. i'd say about,uh, 12 parsecs... outside the rishi maze. should be easy to find,even for those droidsin your archives. these, uh, kaminoanskeep to themselves.
they're cloners.damn good ones too. cloners. are they friendly? oh, depends. depends on what, dex? on how goodyour manners are... and how big your, uh, pocketbook is. [ chuckling ] did you call for assistance?
yes, yes, i did. are you having a problem,master kenobi? yes, um, i'm lookingfor a planetary systemcalled kamino. kamino. it doesn't show upon the archive charts. kamino.it's not a systemi'm familiar with. are you sure you havethe right coordinates? according to my information,it should appearin this quadrant here, just south ofthe rishi maze.
i hate to say it,but it looks like the systemyou're searching for... doesn't exist. impossible.perhaps the archivesare incomplete. if an item does not appearin our records, it does not exist. hey, you! no droids! get outta here! [ raspberries ] thank you, r2.
[ chirping ] must be difficult, havingsworn your life to the jedi, not being ableto visit the places you likeor do the things you like. or be with the peoplethat i love. are you allowed to love? i thought that wasforbidden for a jedi. attachment is forbidden. possession is forbidden. compassion,which i would defineas unconditional love,
is centralto a jedi's life. so you might saythat we are encouragedto love. you've changed so much. ah, you haven'tchanged a bit. you're exactly the wayi remember you in my dreams. [ yoda ] reach out. sense the force around you. use your feelingsyou must. younglings.younglings! a visitor we have.
[ together ]hello, master obi-wan. hello.i'm sorry to disturb you,master. what help can i be,obi-wan? hmm? i'm looking for a planetdescribed to meby an old friend. i trust him,but the systems don't showon the archive maps. mmm. lost a planetmaster obi-wan has. how embarrassing. [ children giggling ] hmm? liam, the shades.
gather roundthe map reader. clear your minds... and find obi-wan'swayward planet we will. it ought to be... here, but it isn't. gravity is pullingall the stars in the areatowards this spot. hmm. gravity's silhouetteremains, but the starand all the planets, disappeared they have.
how can this be? hmm? a thought? [ yoda ] anyone. [ boy ] master? because someone erased itfrom the archive memory. [ yoda chuckles ] truly wonderfulthe mind of a child is. the padawan is right. go to the center of gravity's pull...
and find your planetyou will. hmm. the datamust have been erased. but, master yoda,who could empty informationfrom the archives? that's impossible,isn't it? dangerous and disturbingthis puzzle is. only a jedi could haveerased those files. but who and why,harder to answer. meditate on this i will.hmm. i wasn't the youngest queenever elected,
but now that i thinkback on it, i'm not surei was old enough. i'm not surei was ready. the people you servedthought you did a good job. i heard they even tried toamend the constitutionso you could stay in office. i was relievedwhen my two terms were up. but when the queenasked me to serveas senator, i couldn't refuse her. i agree with her.i think the republicneeds you. i'm glad thatyou chose to serve.
[ padme ]if the senate votesto create an army, i'm sure it's goingto push us into a civil war. [ man ] it's unthinkable. there hasn't beena full-scale war since the formationof the republic. do you see any waythrough negotiations... to bring the separatistsback into the republic? not if theyfeel threatened. my guess is they'll turnto the trade federations
or the commerce guildsfor help. it's outrageous, but after four trials in the supreme court, nute gunrayis still the viceroyof the trade federation. i fear the senate is powerless to resolve this crisis. we must keep our faithin the republic. the day we stop believingdemocracy can workis the day we lose it. let's praythat day never comes. in the meantime,we must consideryour own safety. what is your suggestion,master jedi?
oh, anakin'snot a jedi yet. he's stilla padawan learner.but i was thinking-- hold on a minute. excuse me. i was thinking i would stayin the lake country. there aresome places up therethat are very isolated. excuse me.i'm in charge ofsecurity here, milady. and this is my home.i know it very well.that is why we're here. i think it would be wiseif you took advantage ofmy knowledge in this instance.
[ queen jamillia ]perfect.it's settled, then. there it is, r4,right where it should be.our missing planet kamino. [ whistling, beeping ] [ thunder rumbling ] master jedi. the prime ministeris expecting you. i'm expected? of course. he is anxious to meet you.
after all these years, we were beginning to thinkyou weren't coming. now, please, this way. may i present lama su, prime minister of kamino. and this is master jedi-- obi-wan kenobi. i trust you're going toenjoy your stay. please.
and now to business. you will be delightedto hear that we areon schedule. 200,000 units are ready, with a million morewell on the way. that's good news. please tellyour master sifo-dyas... that his orderwill be met on time. i'm sorry. master-- jedi master sifo-dyasis still a leading memberof the jedi council,
is he not? master sifo-dyaswas killedalmost ten years ago. oh, i'm so sorryto hear that. but i'm sure he would havebeen proud of the armywe've built for him. the army? yes. a clone army, and i must say,one of the finestwe've ever created. tell me, prime minister, when my master firstcontacted youabout the army,
did-- did he saywho it was for? of course he did. this armyis for the republic. but you must be anxious to inspect the units for yourself. that's why i'm here. we used to come herefor school retreat. we would swim tothat island every day. i love the water. we used to lie outon the sandand let the sun dry us...
and try to guessthe namesof the birds singing. i don't like sand. it's coarse and roughand irritating, and it gets everywhere. not like here. here, everything is soft... and smooth. no.[ gasps ] i shouldn't have done that.
i'm sorry. very impressive. i'd hopedyou would be pleased. [ lama su ] clones can think creatively. you will find that they are immensely superior to droids. we take great pridein our combat educationand training programs. this group was createdabout five years ago. [ obi-wan ] you mentioned growth acceleration. [ lama su ] oh, yes, it's essential.
otherwise, a mature clone would take a lifetime to grow. now we can do it in half the time. [ obi-wan ] i see. [ lama su ] they are totally obedient, taking any order without question. we modified their genetic structure... to make them less independent than the original host. and who wasthe original host? a bounty huntercalled jango fett.
and where isthis bounty hunter now? oh, we keep him here. [ lama su ] apart from his pay, which is considerable, fett demandedonly one thing: an unaltered clonefor himself. curious, isn't it? "unaltered"? [ lama su ]pure genetic replication. no tamperingwith the structureto make it more docile...
and no growth acceleration. i should very muchlike to meetthis jango fett. i would be very happyto arrange it for you. magnificent, aren't they? i don't know. sure you do.you just don'twant to tell me. you gonna use one of yourjedi mind tricks on me? they only workon the weak-minded. all right. i was 12.
his name was palo. we were bothin the legislativeyouth program. he was a few yearsolder than i.very cute. dark, curly hair.dreamy eyes. all right,i get the picture. whatever happened to him? i went into public service;he went on to becomean artist. maybe he was the smart one. you really don't likepoliticians, do you?
i like two or three, but i'm not really sureabout one of them. [ both chuckle ] i don't thinkthe system works. how would youhave it work? we need a systemwhere the politicianssit down and discuss the problem, agree what's in the bestinterest of all the people,and then do it. that's exactly what we do.
the trouble is that peopledon't always agree. well, thenthey should be made to. by whom?who's gonna make them? you? i don't know. someone. of course not me. but someone. someone wise. sounds an awful lotlike a dictatorship to me. well, if it works.
you're making fun of me. i'd be much too frightenedto tease a senator. [ creature bellowing ] [ anakin ] whoa, whoa! [ laughing ] [ bellowing ] oh, whoa![ grunting ] [ lowing ] [ grunts, groans ] ani!ani, are you all right?
boba, is your father here? yep. may we see him? sure. dad, taun we's here. jango, welcome back. was your trip productive? fairly. this is jedi masterobi-wan kenobi.
he's come to checkon our progress. your clonesare very impressive.you must be very proud. i'm just a simple mantrying to make my wayin the universe. ever made your wayas far into the interioras coruscant? once or twice. recently? then you must knowmaster sifo-dyas. uh, boba, rood eht so-heeck. master who?
[ obi-wan ] sifo-dyas. is he not the jedi who hired you for this job? never heard of him. really? i was recruited bya man called tyranus onone of the moons of bogden. curious. do you like your army? i look forwardto seeing them in action. they'll do their job well.i'll guarantee that.
thank you for your time,jango. always a pleasureto meet a jedi. what is it, dad? pack your things.we're leaving. and when i got to them,we went into aggressivenegotiations. thank you. "aggressive negotiations"?what's that? uh, well, negotiationswith a lightsaber. [ laughing ]oh. if master obi-wancaught me doing this,he'd be very grumpy.
from the momenti met you... all those years ago, not a day has gone bywhen i haven'tthought of you. and now thati'm with you again, i'm in agony. the closer i get to you,the worse it gets. the thought ofnot being with you-- i can't breathe. i'm haunted by the kissthat you shouldnever have given me.
my heart is beating, hoping that that kisswill not become a scar. you are in my very soul, tormenting me. what can i do? i will do anythingthat you ask. if you are sufferingas much as i am,please, tell me. i can't. we can't.it's... just not possible.
anythingis possible, padme.listen to me. no, you listen. we live in a real world.come back to it. you're studyingto become a jedi.i'm-- i'm a senator. if you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, it'll take usto a place we cannot go, regardless of the waywe feel about each other. then you dofeel something. i will not let yougive up your future for me.
you are asking meto be rational. that is somethingi know i cannot do. believe me,i wish that i could justwish away my feelings, but i can't. i will not give into this. well, you know, it... wouldn't have tobe that way. we could keep it a secret. we'd be living a lie,
one we couldn't keepeven if we wanted to. i couldn't do that. could you, anakin?could you live like that? no. you're right. it would destroy us. tell your councilthat the first battalionsare ready. and remind them,if they need more troops, it will take more timeto grow them. i won't forget,and thank you.
thank you. r4! scramble code fiveto coruscant,care of the old folks' home! i have successfullymade contact with the prime ministerof kamino. they are usinga bounty hunternamed jango fett to create a clone army. i have a strong feelingthat this bounty hunter... is the assassinwe are looking for.
do you think these clonersare involved in the plot toassassinate senator amidala? no, master.there appears to beno motive. [ yoda ] do not assume anything, obi-wan. clear your mind must be... if you are to discoverthe real villainsbehind this plot. they say master sifo-dyasplaced an orderfor a clone army... at the request of the senate almost ten years ago. i was under the impressionhe was killed before that. did the councilever authorize the creationof a clone army?
no. whoever placedthat order did not havethe authorizationof the jedi council. bring him here.question him we will. yes, master.i will report backwhen i have him. blind we areif creation ofthis clone army... we could not see. [ sighs ] i think it is timewe informed the senate... that our ability to usethe force has diminished.
only the dark lordof the sithknows of our weakness. if informed the senate is, multiplyour adversaries will. [ shmi moaning, indistinct ] anakin! help me! mom, no. anakin! [ screams ] don't. [ screaming stops ]
don't go. i don't want todisturb you. your presence is soothing. you had another nightmarelast night. jedidon't have nightmares. i heard you. i saw my mother. she is suffering,padme. i saw her as clearlyas i see you now.
[ deep sigh ] she is in pain. i know i'm disobeyingmy mandate to protect you,senator, but i have to go. i have to help her. i'll go with you. i'm sorry.i don't have a choice. dad, look! boba, get on board!
[ jango shouts ] oh, not good. [ grunts ] [ driver speaking huttese ] wait right there. okey-okey. da wanga! chut-chut, watto. [ grunts ] ai![ grunts, sighs ]
[ fly buzzing ] [ speaking basic ]ani? little ani? nahhh. you are ani! it is you![ laughing ] you sure sprouted, huh? wee-hoo! a jedi! whattaya know![ chuckles ] hey... maybe you couldhelp with some deadbeatswho owe me a lot of money. my mother.
oh, yeah. shmi. uh...she's not mine-a no more-a.i sold her. you sold her? years ago. sorry, ani, but you know,business is business, huh?[ chuckles ] yeah, i sold herto a moisture farmernamed, uh, lars. at least i thinkit was lars. believe it or not,i heard he freed herand married her! can ya beat that, eh? [ chuckles ] yeah.
do you knowwhere they are now? ooh, long way from here. someplace overon the other sideof mos eisley, i think, mmm. i'd like to know. eh, sure. absolutely! [ chuckles ]let's go lookat my records, huh? [ chuckles ]mmm. dad! i think we're being tracked!
[ jango ] he must have put a homing device on our hull. hang on, son.we'll move intothe asteroid field, and we'll have a coupleof surprises for him. [ cackling ] seismic charges! stand by. he doesn't seem totake a hint, this guy. watch out! [ rapid beeping ] get him, dad! get him! fire!
oh, blast!this is why i hate flying! we got him! we'll just have tofinish him. r4, prepare to jettisonthe spare part canisters. fire them now! well, we won't beseeing him again. well, r4, i thinkwe've waited long enough. there's an unusual concentration of federation ships over there, r4. [ r4 beeps ]
[ r2-d2 whistles, beeps ] [ padme ]stay with the ship, r2. oh! um, uh, hello. how might i beof service? i am c-- 3po? oh, um-- the maker! oh, master ani!i knew you would return. i knew it!and miss padme. oh, my.
hello, 3po. bless my circuits!i'm so pleasedto see you both. i've come to seemy mother. oh. um, i think perhapswe'd better go indoors. master owen, might i present two most important visitors. i'm anakin skywalker. owen lars.uh, this ismy girlfriend, beru. hello. i'm padme.
i guessi'm your stepbrother. i had a feelingyou might show up someday. is my mother here? no, she's not. cliegg lars.shmi is my wife. we should go inside. we have a lot to talk about. [ cliegg ] it was just before dawn. they came out of nowhere. a hunting party of tusken raiders. your mother had gone out early, like she always did,
to pick mushrooms that grow on the vaporators. from the tracks,she was abouthalfway home... when they took her. [ sighs ] those tuskenswalk like men, but they're vicious,mindless monsters. thirty of uswent out after her.four of us came back. i'd be out there with them, but after i lost my leg, i just couldn't ride anymoreun-until i heal. i don't want to give up on her,
but she's been gone a month. there's little hopeshe's lasted this long. where are you going? to find my mother. your mother's dead, son.accept it. you're gonna have to stay here. these are good people, padme. you'll be safe. anakin-- i won't be long.
[ machinery clanging ] [ man #1 ]we must persuadethe commerce guild... and the corporate allianceto sign the treaty. what about the senator from naboo? is she dead yet? i am not signingyour treaty until i haveher head on my desk. [ man #1 ] i am a man of my word, viceroy. [ alien ] with these new battle droids we've built for you, you'll have the finest army in the galaxy.
[ man #1 ] as i explained to you earlier, i am quite convinced that 10,000 more systems... will rally to our causewith your support,gentlemen. [ alien language ] [ speaking basic ]the techno union army... [ electronic warbling ] is at your disposal, count. the banking clanwill sign your treaty. [ man #1 ] good. very good.
our friends fromthe trade federationhave pledged their support, and when theirbattle droids arecombined with yours, we shall have an armygreater than anyin the galaxy. the jediwill be overwhelmed. the republic will agreeto any demands we make. [ growling ] [ snarling ] [ growling, snarling continue ] [ moaning ]
mom. mom? mom? ani? ani? is it you? i'm here, mom.you're safe. oh, you lookso handsome. my son. oh, my grown-up son. i'm so proud of you,ani.
i missed you. now i am complete. i love y-- stay with me, mom.everything-- i love-- i-- i love-- [ shouting ] [ qui-gon jinn's voice ] anakin! anakin! no-o-o! what is it?
pain, suffering, death i feel. something terrible has happened. young skywalkeris in pain.terrible pain. the transmitter is working,but we're not receivinga return signal. coruscant's too far.r4, can you boost the power? we'll have to trysomething else. maybe we can contact anakinon naboo. it's much closer. anakin? anakin, do you copy?
this is obi-wan kenobi. anakin? he's not on naboo, r4. i'm going to tryand widen the range. i do hopenothing's happened to him. that's anakin's tracking signal, all right, but it's comingfrom tatooine. what in the blazesis he doing there? i told himto stay on naboo. we haven't gotmuch time.
anakin?anakin, do you copy? this isobi-wan kenobi. [ creature screeching ] [ static,obi-wan's voice breaks up ] retransmit this message--[ garbled audio ] anakin, do you copy?anakin-- my long-range-- [ static ]has been knocked out. retransmit this messageto coruscant. i brought you something.
are you hungry? the shifter broke. life seems so much simplerwhen you're fixing things. i'm good at fixing things.always was. but i couldn't-- why'd she have to die? why couldn't i save her? i know i could have! sometimes there are thingsno one can fix.
you're notall-powerful, ani. well, i should be! someday i will be. i will bethe most powerful jedi ever! i will even learnto stop people from dying. it's all obi-wan's fault! he's jealous!he's holding me back! [ object clattering ] [ sniffling ]
what's wrong, ani? i-- i killed them. i killed them all. they're dead. every single one of them. and not just the men, but the women... and the children too.
they're like animals, and i slaughtered them like animals! i hate them! [ anakin exhales ] to be angryis to be human. i'm a jedi. i knowi'm better than this. [ cliegg ] i know wherever you are it's become a better place. you werethe most loving partnera man could ever have.
good-bye, my darling wife. and thank you. i wasn't strong enoughto save you, mom. i wasn't strong enough. but i promisei won't fail again. i miss you... so much. r2?what are you doing here? it seems that he iscarrying a message froman obi-wan kenobi.
hmm. master ani,does that namemean anything to you? anakin,my long-range transmitterhas been knocked out. i have trackedthe bounty hunter,jango fett, to the droid foundrieson geonosis. the trade federationis to take deliveryof a droid army here, and it is clearthat viceroy gunray... is behindthe assassination attemptson senator amidala. the commerce guilds andthe corporate alliance... have both pledged theirarmies to count dookuand are forming a--
wait. wait. [ lightsaber whooshing ] [ obi-wan grunting ] more happening on geonosis,i feel, than hasbeen revealed. i agree. anakin, we will dealwith count dooku. the most important thingfor you is to staywhere you are. protect the senatorat all costs. that isyour first priority.
understood, master. they'll never get therein time to save him. they have to comehalfway across the galaxy.look. geonosis is lessthan a parsec away. if he's still alive. ani, are you justgonna sit hereand let him die? he's your friend,your mentor. he's-- he's like my father! but you heard master windu.he gave me strict ordersto stay here!
he gave you strict ordersto protect me, and i'm goingto help obi-wan. if you plan to protect me,you'll just have tocome along. [ engines power up ] i'm not worried, r2.it's just i've never flownbefore. the commerce guildsare preparing for war. there can beno doubt of that. [ palpatine ]count dooku must have madea treaty with them. [ speaking basic ]unfortunately,the debate is not over.
the senate will neverapprove the use of clones before the separatistsattack. this is a crisis. the senate must votethe chancelloremergency powers. he can then approve the creation of an army. but what senator wouldhave the courage to proposesuch a radical amendment? if only...senator amidala were here. mm. [ screeching ]
[ grumbling ] traitor. oh, no, my friend.this is a mistake,a terrible mistake. they have gone too far.this is madness. i thought youwere the leader here,dooku. this had nothingto do with me,i assure you. i will petition immediately to have you set free. well, i hopeit doesn't take too long.i have work to do. may i askwhy a jedi knight...
is all the wayout here on geonosis? i've been trackinga bounty hunternamed jango fett. do you know him? there are nobounty hunters herethat i am aware of. the geonosiansdon't trust them. who can blame them?but he is here,i can assure you. it's a great pity thatour paths have nevercrossed before, obi-wan. qui-gon always spokevery highly of you. i wish he were still alive.
i could use his helpright now. qui-gon jinn wouldnever join you. don't be so sure,my young jedi. you forget that he wasonce my apprentice, just as youwere once his. he knew all aboutthe corruptionin the senate, but he would never havegone along with it if he had learnedthe truth as i have. the truth?
the truth. what if i told youthat the republic... was now under the controlof the dark lordof the sith? no, that's not possible.the jedi would beaware of it. the dark side of the forcehas clouded their vision,my friend. hundreds of senatorsare now underthe influence... of a sith lordcalled darth sidious. i don't believe you. the viceroy of the trade federation...
was once in league with this darth sidious, but he was betrayedten years agoby the dark lord. he came to me for help.he told me everything. you must join me,obi-wan, and togetherwe will destroy the sith! i will never join you,dooku. it may be difficultto secure your release. [ jar jar ] it's-a clear desa separatists made a pact... wesa desa federation du trade.
senators, "dellow felagates": in response to this direct threat to the republic, mesa proposethat the senate... give immediatelyemergency powers... to the supreme chancellor. [ shouts of approval ] palpatine! palpatine!palpatine! [ shouting in alien language ] [ senate chairman ] order! we shall have order!
it iswith great reluctance... that i have agreedto this calling. i love democracy.i love the republic. [ applause ] the power you give me... i will lay down whenthis crisis has abated. [ cheering, applause ] and as my first actwith this new authority, i will createa grand armyof the republic...
to counterthe increasing threatsof the separatists. it is done, then. i will take what jediwe have left and go togeonosis and help obi-wan. visit i willthe cloners on kamino, hmm, and see this armythey have createdfor the republic. see those columns of steamstraight ahead? they're exhaust ventsof some type. that'll do. look, whateverhappens out there,follow my lead.
i'm not interestedin getting into a war here. as a member of the senate, maybe i can finda diplomatic solutionto this mess. don't worry. i've given uptrying to argue with you. [ whistling, beeping ] my obtuse little friend,if they had needed our help, they would haveasked for it, hmm? you obviously havea great deal to learnabout human behavior. for a mechanic,
you seem to do an excessiveamount of thinking. i am programmedto understand humans! "what does that mean?" oh! that meansi am in charge here! [ raspberries ] where are you going now?you don't knowwhat's out there. have you no sense at all?oh! idiot! please wait. do you knowwhere you're going?
wait. [ squawking ] oh, my-- oh, oh, oh! padme! ah![ grunts ] oh, my goodness!shut me down! machines making machines. huh! how perverse.[ grunts ] oh! calm down, r2.i almost fell.
you'll get your chance-- oh! i'm scrap.[ grunting ] it's a nightmare! oh, i want to go home!ahh! oh, what did i doto deserve this? [ whistling ] [ padme grunting ] [ geonosian screeching ] ahhh!
hmm. i wonder what happenedto poor little r2. he's always getting himselfinto trouble. oops. oh, no! uh-oh. oh! oh, i'm so confused. oh, not again. obi-wan's gonna kill me. don't move, jedi!take him away.
don't be afraid. i'm not afraid to die. i've been dying a little biteach day since you came backinto my life. what are youtalking about? i love you. you love me? i thought thatwe had decidednot to fall in love, that we would be forcedto live a lie... and that it woulddestroy our lives.
i think our lives are aboutto be destroyed anyway. i truly, deeply love you, and before we die,i want you to know. eeyah! [ loud cheering ] i was beginning to wonderif you'd got my message. i retransmitted itjust as you had requested,master. then we decided tocome and rescue you.
good job. [ speaking geonosian ] [ cheering subsides ] [ roaring ] i've got a bad feelingabout this. [ creatures roaring ] [ crowd cheering ] just relax. concentrate. what about padme?
she seems to beon top of things. [ yelling ] [ creature yelps ] she can't do that!shoot her or-- or something! [ whimpering, snarling ] [ shrieking ] [ hissing, growling ] [ subdued growling ] whoa! yah!
[ growling, roaring ] hyah! hyah! [ bellowing ] jump! [ shrieking ] this isn't howit's supposed to be!jango! finish her off! patience, viceroy, patience.she will die. master windu,how pleasant of youto join us. this party's over.
brave but, uh, foolish,my old jedi friend. you're impossibly outnumbered. [ scoffs ]i don't think so. we'll see. [ heavy footstepsapproaching ] [ synthesized voice ]my legs aren't moving.i must need maintenance. [ c-3po ]what's all this noise?a-a battle! oh, there's beensome terrible mistake! i'm programmed for etiquette,not destruction!
[ obi-wan grunts ] [ groaning, yelling ] [ yowling ] die, jedi dogs!oh! what did i say? hah! oh, dear.i'm terribly sorryabout all this. ohh! excuse me. i'm trapped.i can't get up. you call this a diplomatic solution?
no, i call itaggressive negotiations. roger, roger. [ growling, screeching ] [ creature shrieking ] r2, what are youdoing here? what are you doing?oh, stop that! you're going tostrain something.my neck! now where are you taking me?oh, this is such a drag. [ c-3po ]oh, i'm quitebeside myself.
r2, please be careful!you're singeingmy circuits! yes, but is my headon straight? [ dooku ] master windu, you have fought gallantly, worthy of recognition in the archives of the jedi order. now it is finished. surrender, and your liveswill be spared. we will not be hostagesto be bartered, dooku! then, i'm sorry, old friend. look!
around the survivorsa perimeter create. [ beeping, chirping ] oh, i've hadthe most peculiar dream. if dooku escapes, rally more systemsto his cause he will. hold on! aim right abovethe fuel cells! good call,my young padawan. [ viceroy gunray ]the jedi have amasseda huge army.
that doesn't seem possible. how could the jedicome up with an armyso quickly? we must sendall available droidsinto battle. there are too many. pilot,land in that assembly area! yes, sir. sir, i havefive special commando unitsawaiting your orders, sir. to the forwardcommand centertake me. attack those federationstarships! quickly!
master yoda,all forward positionsare advancing. very good. very good. [ viceroy gunray ]this is notlooking good at all! we must get the starshipsback into space. my master will neverallow the republic... to get awaywith this treachery. [ geonosian ] i will take the designswith me to coruscant. they will bemuch safer therewith my master.
[ alarm blaring ] concentrate all your fireon the nearest starship. move all quadrantsto sector 5-1-5. look over there! it's dooku!shoot him down! we're out of rockets, sir. follow him! we're gonna need some help! there isn't time!anakin and ican handle this!
[ padme yells ] [ anakin ] padme! put the ship down! don't letyour personal feelingsget in the way! follow that speeder! lower the ship! i can't take dooku alone! i need you! if we catch him,we can end this warright now!
we have a job to do! i don't care!put the ship down! you will be expelledfrom the jedi order! i can't leave her! come to your senses! what do you thinkpadme would dowere she in your position? she would do her duty. the droid armyis in full retreat. well done, commander.bring me a ship.
[ anakin ] you're gonna payfor all the jedi thatyou killed today, dooku. we'll take him together.go in slowly on the left. i'm taking him now! no, anakin! no! no! [ anakin screams ] as you see,my jedi powersare far beyond yours. now... back down. i don't think so. master kenobi,you disappoint me.
yoda holds you in such high esteem. surely you can do better. are you all right? uh-huh. we'd better get back tothe forward command center. no. no. gather what troops you can.we've got to getto that hangar. get a transport. hurry! right away.
ah! ahh! [ anakin shouts ] brave of you, boy. but i would have thought you had learned your lesson. i am a slow learner. anakin! master yoda. count dooku. you have interferedwith our affairsfor the last time.
powerful you have become,dooku. the dark sidei sense in you. i've become more powerfulthan any jedi. even you. much to learnyou still have. it is obvious thatthis contestcannot be decided by our knowledgeof the force... but by our skillswith a lightsaber. fought well you have,my old padawan.
this is just the beginning. [ panting, moaning ] [ sighing ] [ speaking in droid language ] [ obi-wan groans ] [ padme ]anakin! the force is with us,master sidious. welcome home,lord tyranus. you have done well.
i have good newsfor you, my lord. the war has begun. excellent. everything is goingas planned. [ obi-wan ]do you believewhat count dooku said... about sidiouscontrolling the senate? it doesn't feel right. joined the dark side dooku has. mmm. lies, deceit,
creating mistrustare his ways now. [ windu ] nevertheless, i feel we should keep a closer eye on the senate. where is your apprentice? on his way to naboo,escorting senator amidalahome. i have to admitthat without the clones, it would not havebeen a victory. [ yoda ] victory? victory, you say? master obi-wan,not victory.
the shroud ofthe dark side has fallen. begun the clone war has.
