Sir, they're firing!
CLOSE UP - COMMODORE ANTILLES
COMMODORE ANTILLES stares out at the Imperial fleet.
We see tiny yellow flashes.
There is a pause.
Then, the sky grows yellow.
The screen turns completely yellow.
Then, there is a moment of black accompanied with a soft
metallic chime.
EXT. SPACE - NEIMOIDIAN HOMEWORLD
The Neimoidian home planet sits in the center of the screen,
tiny yellow dots flashing about in orbit.
New stars are born and die.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. GARDEN - SUB-LEVEL 27 - WIDE SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND
SEE-THREEPIO
The JEDI and the DROID walk on a gantry above a decaying
abandoned level.
It is a cold dark place. There is little light and little
warmth.
Twisted wires and collapsed metal pipes and beams lay frozen
in time.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
THREEPIO leads OBI-WAN along the rickety catwalk.
OBI-WAN wears a light white tunic, his silver lightsabre hung
at his side.
His Jedi robe is atop the tunic.
OBI-WAN
Listen to me, droid, if you are leading
me into a trap.
SEE-THREEPIO
Oh no, sir!
(beat)
I am but only following Master Anakin's
instructions.
(beat)
By no means am I leading you into a trap.
OBI-WAN speaks softly.
OBI-WAN
Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
SEE-THREEPIO
What, sir?
OBI-WAN
Nothing.
They continue in silence.
CLOSE UP - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO eventually speaks.
SEE-THREEPIO
Sir, watch out for the loose board.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN doesn't listen to THREEPIO.
He steps on a loose floor board and his foot falls through.
MEDIUM SHOT - SEE-THREEPIO
THREEPIO turns around.
SEE-THREEPIO
Sir, do you need any assistance?
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
No.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN pulls his foot out of the hole in the floor plate.
OBI-WAN
Come on, let's go.
MEDIUM SHOT - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
As you wish, sir.
SEE-THREEPIO turns around and continues.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks down, sorry about doubting the DROID.
SEE-THREEPIO
(os)
Sir, we're here.
OBI-WAN looks up.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN and SEE-THREEPIO stand before a massive lift.
OBI-WAN
Where are we going?
SEE-THREEPIO
The ruins.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
Ruins?
MEDIUM SHOT - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
Yes, sir.
SEE-THREEPIO activates the lift. Its large metal door opens.
INT. GARDEN - OLD LIFT - MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-
THREEPIO.
SEE-THREEPIO enters. OBI-WAN follows.
The metal door slams shut.
A rusty mechanical voice crackles.
MECHANICAL VOICE
Lift is off limits to all personnel.
(beat)
Lift is no longer active.
(beat)
Executive level command lockout.
(beat)
Alpha One protocol needed.
MEDIUM SHOT - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
I knew that this sector was ancient, but
I believed that it was still operational.
(beat)
How did Master Anakin...
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
Quite.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN walks forward. He passes the CAMERA, which rotates
to keep him in frame.
OBI-WAN approaches the lift's control box.
CLOSE SHOT - OBI-WAN'S HAND
OBI-WAN places his hand just above the control box.
A moment passes.
The box sparks and smoulders.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN backs away from the box.
MECHANICAL VOICE
Warning.
(beat)
All safety programs offline.
The lift lurches down violently and then comes to brief stop.
CLOSE UP - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
Oh my!
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN is calm.
OBI-WAN
Don't worry.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
Suddenly, the lift falls straight down the shaft. It
approaches terminal velocity.
OBI-WAN and SEE-THREEPIO enter into a state of free fall.
Obi-Wan's sabre rises from his side.
His cloak floats.
Then, in a single moment, the lift crashes into the ground.
It shakes violently and almost collapses on itself.
INT. CAVERN - MEDIUM SHOT - OLD LIFT
Dust fills the stale ancient air.
The lift's door slides open unevenly.
OBI-WAN exits.
SEE-THREEPIO follows.
WIDE SHOT - CAVERN
The lift is on a small stone terrace.
Beyond the terrace is open air.
The cavern floor is some 300 feet below.
The tops of ancient collapsed building reach out of the
shadows.
The sheer size of the cavern cannot be described. It
continues on and on farther than can be seen.
Fiery red light rises up from spots on the unseen floor.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN and SEE-THREEPIO stand at the very edge of the
terrace.
We see the ancient city all around OBI-WAN and THREEPIO.
OBI-WAN
Where are we?
SEE-THREEPIO
The ancient ruins.
(beat)
These ruins date back millennia. They
are from Coruscant's zeboim era.
(beat)
The people who built these cities were
the original inhabitants of Coruscant.
(beat)
As they grew, they built on top of their
old cities.
WIDE SHOT - ANCIENT CITY
The CAMERA pans across the blackened crumbling city.
The buildings stand, twisted and macabre.
Small pools of red radiate against them.
SEE-THREEPIO
They are the ancestors of those who now
call Coruscant home.
(beat)
The tradition of burying old structures
and building on top of them continues to
this day.
(beat)
This is Coruscant's hidden past.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks out at the dead city, his brow heavy.
CLOSE UP - SEE-THREEPIO
THREEPIO turns his head, his gears grinding.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN
Now where?
MEDIUM SHOT - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
I do not know. This is where my maker's
directions end.
WIDE SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN paces around the edge of the black terrace.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
He's here.
(beat)
I know that.
(beat)
I can feel him.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN walks up to THREEPIO.
He takes off his robe and hands it to the DROID.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
I'm coming back for it, understand.
CLOSE UP - SEE-THREEPIO
SEE-THREEPIO
Yes, sir.
(beat)
I will take good care of it for you.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND SEE-THREEPIO
OBI-WAN
Thank you.
OBI-WAN walks up to the terrace's edge.
He pauses for a moment and then propels himself off.
WIDE SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
The CAMERA is positioned far below the terrace.
OBI-WAN starts out near the top of the screen and falls
toward the CAMERA, growing larger as he does.
He drops below the CAMERA.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
The CAMERA stays with OBI-WAN as he falls.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks down at the ground, calm.
MEDIUM SHOT - CAVERN FLOOR
OBI-WAN hits the floor.
He lands on a single foot, barely showing any signs of
falling 300+ feet.
He pauses a moment, dusting off his white tunic and then jogs
toward the CAMERA.
He passes it.
The CAMERA rotates, watching him run off toward a glowing red
pool.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
The CAMERA stays with OBI-WAN as he jogs though the dead
city.
He tries to resist looking at the ancient buildings but
cannot.
His eyes are drawn to the dead civilization.
WIDE SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
An aerial shot, OBI-WAN runs through the maze of crumbling
stone and rock.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN slows down, walking among the frozen city.
He comes to a large open area.
The CAMERA pulls back.
We see a fiery lava pit bubbling in the center of the dead
city.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks across the fiery pit, his eyes and soul locking
onto something... someone.
WIDE SHOT - LAVA PIT
ANAKIN SKYWALKER, little more than a tiny homid silhouette,
stands across the pit, staring into it.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN closes his eyes and takes a slow breath.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN stands on the edge of the large lava pit. The fire is
30 feet below.
He wears a loose black suit.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Anakin's face is illuminated red by the bubbling lava.
ANAKIN speaks softly to himself.
ANAKIN
This is what we were and what we will
become.
The CAMERA pans down his body. As it nears his feet, we see
that he is not standing on the edge of the pit. Rather, he
is levitating half an inch above it, causing small pebbles
and clumps of dirt to levitate with him or speed away.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Anakin's gaze rises from that of the burning red pit, sensing
something. He smiles.
His voice is twisted.
ANAKIN speaks with a hint of mocking and immortality.
ANAKIN
You've come?
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN stands behind ANAKIN, a grave expression on his face.
OBI-WAN
Anakin, I cannot let you do this.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN says nothing, staring off across the pit.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
You are vain, Anakin. You think that you
are immortal!
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN takes a deep breath, full of sulfur, and continues to
stare across the pit.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
I could have pushed you in...
(beat)
I could have pushed you in before you
ever sensed me...
(beat)
I could have...
Obi-Wan's voice cracks.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN interrupts OBI-WAN.
ANAKIN
... used a Force blast, to knock me in.
ANAKIN pauses.
His words are mocking.
ANAKIN
But you didn't. Instead, you came to
talk to me...
(beat)
To reason with me...
(beat)
To appeal to my senses...
(beat)
To convince me otherwise...
ANAKIN grows darker, spitting the following words.
ANAKIN
To go back...
ANAKIN pauses, again.
He speaks down to OBI-WAN.
ANAKIN
I've heard everything you have to say,
Old Man...
(beat)
I am not convinced...
(beat)
Your time is over...
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
Obi-Wan's left hand twitches at his side.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Anakin's face flops to one side, as if slapped.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN is angry but tries to hide it.
OBI-WAN
I made you who you are! Never forget
that.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN smiles, a red mark across his face.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
He drops to the ground, sending out a small wave of dust and
wind.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN spins on his heels, turning toward OBI-WAN.
ANAKIN laughs.
It is now that a grand operatic theme begins. This theme is
the culmination of all that has happened, is happening, and
will happen. It is "Son of the Suns".
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN pulls out his lightsabre, turning it on, and raises
its hilt above his head, with the blade extending down to his
knees, in a single movement.
The whole of his torso is guarded. Both his hands are
tightly bound around its hilt.
The blue blade hums.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN pulls his lightsabre off his belt and turns it on,
still at his side.
The blade extends to just above the ground. The sabre is
held loosely in just the tips of the fingers of his left
hand.
OBI-WAN sighs.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN raises the blade of his sabre above his head and
swings it down, in a large arc. OBI-WAN moves his lightsabre
up, across his chest, batting Anakin's away, still with just
one hand. The sabre is an extension of his arm.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN snarls.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN forces himself upon OBI-WAN, who blocks all of his
thrusts. OBI-WAN, now using both hands, advances ten feet,
pushing ANAKIN back.
WIDE SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN pushes OBI-WAN back. This dueling continues around
the edge of the lava pit, neither scoring a hit on the
opponent, each knowing the other's next move in advance.
A jet of smoke rises up from a crack in the ground, obscuring
both Obi-Wan's and Anakin's vision. Only their lightsabres
can be seen.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
As the smoke dissipates, ANAKIN lands a lucky shot, passing
just beyond Obi-Wan's left ear, singeing his hair. OBI-WAN
decides that he will have to fight ANAKIN, rather than just
sparring with him.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN grips his lightsabre like a club and forces all his
weight into a slash, forcing ANAKIN to the ground, caught off
guard by the power of the blow.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN kneels on one knee, his lightsabre over his head,
tying to stop Obi-Wan's blows.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
I created you.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN lowers his lightsabre, allowing Obi-Wan's to hit the
ground. ANAKIN spins around, his lightsabre ready to cut
into Obi-Wan's back. OBI-WAN wheels backward, catching
ANAKIN's blade.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
Their eyes lock.
Both faces are illuminated by their lightsabres, forced
against each other.
ANAKIN spits on Obi-Wan's face.
OBI-WAN lets out a heavy breath and flashes his teeth. He
pushes forward, ramming his left shoulder into ANAKIN.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN falters back a few steps, releasing his lightsabre
from his right hand. After taking two short breaths and
dodging a vertical cut from OBI-WAN, ANAKIN swings his sabre
over his head. His two handed grip returns and he cuts down
furiously. He then delivers two horizontal cuts, all of
which OBI-WAN avoids.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN snarls and thrusts his sabre out.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN knocks it aside and again runs his shoulder into
ANAKIN. This time, ANAKIN comes right back.
ANAKIN releases a fury of swipes at OBI-WAN, each of which is
either blocked or avoided.
OBI-WAN forces Anakin's blade down. He holds it there,
overpowering it with own sabre.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN smiles a twisted smile.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN stares at ANAKIN, unblinking.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN tries to wrestle his sabre away from Obi-Wan's.
The two blades crackle.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN bares his teeth and growls.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN speaks in a vicious tone.
OBI-WAN
I hate you!
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN laughs.
ANAKIN
I am you!
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN breaks free.
WIDE SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN bashes his sabre at OBI-WAN, but OBI-WAN deflects the
blows with masterful finesse.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
As OBI-WAN starts to advance, ANAKIN jumps into the air,
flipping over OBI-WAN and his horizontal cut. OBI-WAN,
however, is quick.

ANAKIN flips through the air, above Obi-Wan's head.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN spins around.

broken the skin.

ANAKIN stares down, breathing quickly, hyping himself up into
a higher frenzy.

OBI-WAN catches it. The two lock together, trying to force
the other down.

ANAKIN pants.
ANAKIN
You... are... dead... Kenobi...
Obi-Wan's only answer is a stern glare.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN jumps back, sending Anakin's blade into the ground.

CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
ANAKIN then whips OBI-WAN in the face with the butt of his
sabre.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN quickly recovers and brings his sabre up, blocking a
downward blow coming from ANAKIN.

the other to make the next move.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN shows his teeth, angry.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN shows a cautious and tired look. He bites his lip.
OBI-WAN speaks. His words are questioning but compassionate.
OBI-WAN
Anakin, tell me something. What are you
going to do after you defeat me? Hmmm?
(beat)
What?
(beat)
Who's the next you're going to slaughter?
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN is unfazed by OBI-WAN's questioning.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN speaks loudly.
OBI-WAN
...Amidala?
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN is visibly shaken by this. His eyes loose the savage
hostility found there moments prior as he remembers all that
that name is connected to.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN takes a quick breath and shakes any final regrets.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
This was all that OBI-WAN needed. As ANAKIN remembers, OBI-
WAN swings his sabre.
CLOSE SHOT - ANAKIN'S HAND
OBI-WAN severs Anakin's right arm and sabre with it.
MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
ANAKIN is violently shaken from his mind. The pain of a
phantom arm causes him to cry out.
CLOSE UP - ANAKIN SKYWALKER
After viewing the bloody stump, he flashes his eyes upward
toward OBI-WAN. ANAKIN is in pain, no longer wanting this
battle. It can be seen in his eyes. He is afraid.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN, however, is full of rage.
