SONORA flickers away.
MEDIUM SHOT - PALPATINE
PALPATINE crosses his arms and smiles.
CUT TO:
INT. TRADE FEDERATION HEAVY BATTLESHIP - BRIDGE - MEDIUM SHOT
- SONORA DODD
SONORA stands, her back to the CAMERA.
A long moment passes.
She turns, her eyes full of zealous fire, toward the CAMERA.
She is looking over it, past it.
SONORA finishes her line.
SONORA DODD
...for my people.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. ORBITAL MILITARY STATION - MAIN CAUSEWAY - WIDE SHOT
We see the main walkway of the space station. It is purely
utilitarian. Five levels of open corridors line the walls of
this high central point. Its center is open, large monitors
float there, suspended by repulsorlift systems. The monitors
display various pieces of information.
SOLDIERS hurry about on all the floors.
The CAMERA pans up this tall causeway, seeing OBI-WAN at the
top level. He is speaking with the station's COMM OFFICER.
We cannot hear them.
The COMM OFFICER hands OBI-WAN a small speaker.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN thanks the COMM OFFICER and raises the speaker to his
mouth.
His words boom and echo throughout the installation.
OBI-WAN
Attention.
WIDE SHOT - MAIN CAUSEWAY
OBI-WAN
Attention.
All heads turn to face OBI-WAN.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN speaks into the small device.

(beat)
Repeat, 58th Spacy - Top Level, prep for
full spectrum maneuver. Board ABC tanks
and depart.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN lowers the speaker, watching the SOLDIERS move.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. SPACE - ATKINSON'S SHIP
Militaristic notes sound as we see an empty star field.
A cluster of stars deep on the right side of the screen flash
and shimmer, moving closer to the CAMERA.
The stars grow until we can make out their shapes. It is
Atkinson's ship followed by seven ABC (Armored Battle
Carrier) tanks. The ABCs are small blocky vessels. They are
heavily armored grey rectangles. A twin-blaster turret sits
up front. A large boarding ramp takes up their entire stern.
Atkinson's ship screams past the CAMERA. Its sounds like a
bird of prey crying out a piercing screech.
The CAMERA zip pans to keep her ship in frame. The ABCs
follow behind.
We watch as the line of ships return into nothing more than
stars.
INT. ATKINSON'S SHIP - MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN AND ATKINSON
RAIN
OBI-WAN and ATKINSON RAIN sit in the command chairs, leading
the ABCs to ARC-1138.
We catch them in mid-conversation.
ATKINSON speaks, her face looking forward.
ATKINSON RAIN
Surely you can see that Palpatine has
merged all the command offices together,
leaving him the sole power in the
Republic.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN interjects.
OBI-WAN
But, the Senate.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON turns to face OBI-WAN.
ATKINSON RAIN
Obi-Wan, have you been to the Senate
lately?
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks down at the floor. He can't recall every
seeing the Senate in person.
ATKINSON RAIN
(os)
They are all but under Palpatine's
control.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON looks at OBI-WAN. She smiles.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks up at ATKINSON, returning the smile.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON turns back to face the canopy.
OBI-WAN continues to look at her.
A moment passes before he speaks.
OBI-WAN
Atkinson...
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON glances over to OBI-WAN, her face still forward.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
Obi-Wan's words are timid.
OBI-WAN
Can I ask you something?
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON turns to face OBI-WAN.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
Whatever happened to Master Windu?
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON just looks at OBI-WAN. She is silent. Her lips are
parted.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN apologizes.
OBI-WAN
I... I'm sorry.
(beat)
I didn't mean to...
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON shakes her head.
ATKINSON RAIN
No.
ATKINSON reaches out and places a hand over Obi-Wan's.

ATKINSON rest her hand on top of Obi-Wan's.
EXTREME CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN'S EYES
OBI-WAN looks between ATKINSON and her hand.

(beat)
After all, we won the battle of Alderaan.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
But...
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
Yeah, the Syosset didn't make it.
(beat)
Heavily damaged, it fell into a degrading
orbit.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON looks down.
ATKINSON RAIN
Eventually, it did entered into planet
fall.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
ATKINSON RAIN
(os)
Master Windu managed to crash it into a
remote island.
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
It's still there today.
ATKINSON looks up.
ATKINSON RAIN
I think the Alderaanians have made it
into a memorial.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
Master Windu's out there, but he's
smart... not like me.
(beat)
He's hiding.
(beat)
He's not out on some damned-fool
idealistic crusade.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN smiles.
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
What about Master Yoda?
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND ATKINSON RAIN
OBI-WAN takes a breath.
OBI-WAN
He went into hiding, too.
(beat)
He left before the fighting broke out.
(beat)
He could sense it all.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
He asked me to join him.
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
So, you know where he is?
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN nods.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON RAIN
Where?
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN shakes his head.
OBI-WAN
I promised Master Yoda that I wouldn't
tell.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON smiles.
OBI-WAN
(os)
But...
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
Why should that even matter? Why don't
you just pluck it out of my head?
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON looks forward again.
ATKINSON RAIN
Obi-Wan, I've developed some social
skills by now. I don't just rummage
through people's minds anymore.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN laughs.
ATKINSON RAIN
(os)
I'm serious.
(beat)
I've grown sick and tired of what I've
found in each and every mind that I've
ever been in.
CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN
ATKINSON stares forward, her face wiped clean of any emotion.
EXT. SPACE - ATKINSON'S SHIP
Atkinson's ship zips by, under the CAMERA, with the ABCs
following behind.
In unison, they jump into hyperspace.
CUT TO:
EXT. ARC-1138 - ATMOSPHERE - MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON'S SHIP
Atkinson's ship burns through the dense atmosphere of ARC-
1138. The sky ignites into a fiery orange under and around
Atkinson's ship and the ABCs.
The CAMERA is under the vessels. It moves down, keeping them
in frame. Over time, the CAMERA lags, allowing the ships to
pass by. The CAMERA rotates to keep them on screen.
They burn toward the planet's surface.
A cluster of lights can be seen on the top left corner of the
screen. They are from the Mandalore prison camp.
EXT. ARC-1138 - ROCKY BASIN - WIDE SHOT
Atkinson's ship and the ABCs set down on ARC-1138's surface.
They force up a torrent of dirt and dust with their touch
down.
MEDIUM SHOT - ATKINSON'S SHIP
The boarding ramp to Atkinson's ship hisses open.
OBI-WAN immediately marches out.
The CAMERA pulls back as OBI-WAN walks forward.
OBI-WAN is wearing his grey uniform, his brown Jedi robe atop
it.
The cloak flaps and billows against the harsh wind.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
High winds whip across his face.
OBI-WAN narrows his eyes.
WIDE SHOT - REPUBLIC SOLDIERS AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN walks across the rocky landing site as his SELECT
TROOPS emerge from their transports.
Obi-Wan's cloak strains against the wind.
MEDIUM SHOT - REPUBLIC SOLDIERS AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN walks up to his SOLDIERS.
There are only fourteen, two from each ABC.
They stand huddled together.
They wear the grey duty uniform. Over it, black straps and
gear are secured tightly.
THREE SOLDIERS wear black helmets.
TWO SOLDIERS wear long coats (one also being one of the three
with a helmet).
They carry with them weapons of all shapes and sizes, but
they all have a long black blaster rifle with a bayonet fixed
to its barrel. These black weapons have worn regions of raw
silver.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
The winds whip Obi-Wan's hair across his face.
CLOSE UP - REPUBLIC SOLDIERS
The CAMERA pans along the FOURTEEN SOLDIERS. Their faces are
worn with battlescars. The majority without helmets have
their hair flapping with the wind.
OBI-WAN
(os)
You are here to escort those in the
prison camp back to Coruscant. That is
it. You are not here to engage the
Mandalorians in any way. You are to stay
with the ABCs. You are not to fight.
The moment that the freed prisoners board
your craft, you are to take off. You are
not to engage the enemy.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks over the SOLDIERS.
MEDIUM SHOT - REPUBLIC SOLDIERS
The SOLDIERS stare forward, understanding and complying with
silence.
MEDIUM SHOT - REPUBLIC SOLDIERS AND OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN
Arden! I'll need a diversion to draw the
bulk for their forces away from the
prison blocks.
A FEMALE SOLDIER with a large mechanical droid arm steps
forward. She is ARDEN LYN. Her short choppy brown hair
whips about her eyes.
MEDIUM SHOT - ARDEN LYN
ARDEN walks up to the end of the basin. She faces the CAMERA
and the trail to the prison camp.
ARDEN raises her droid arm. It buzzes and spins, loading a
concussion grenade for launch.
CLOSE UP - ARDEN LYN
Arden's eyes flash blue.
WIDE SHOT - ARDEN'S POV
We see what ARDEN sees.
Arden's vision is enhanced with various schematics and
electronic displays.
The dusty trail to the prison camp is covered with torn apart
ship parts from those held here. Electronics and hull pieces
stand in a silent garden of slag metal and rusting mechanics.
The prison camp is further away.
It is composed of a series of stone domes behind a short
stone wall.
MANDALORIANS patrol just outside the wall.
ARDEN selects the farthest dome and locks onto it.
CLOSE UP - ARDEN LYN
Arden's eyes flash blue.
MEDIUM SHOT - ARDEN LYN
A profile view, ARDEN fires the loaded concussion grenade.
WIDE SHOT - PRISON CAMP
The concussion grenade arcs toward the final dome, a thin
white vapor trail behind it.
The dome explodes in a fiery plume and halo.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN watches the fireball, his cloak billowing.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
The CAMERA faces the prison and the burning dome.
OBI-WAN, in the foreground, begins his walk to the complex.
His cloak flaps in the wind.
OBI-WAN nimbly steps over rocks and ragged metal scrap as he
moves away from the CAMERA.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN begins with his back to the CAMERA.
He then turns his head around, now facing it.
He looks back at his SOLDIERS.
His words are clear.
OBI-WAN
Stay.
WIDE SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN turns toward the prison camp again. He steps over
the rugged terrain, never once slowing down his pace.
The winds blow harder.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. PRISON CAMP - STONE CELL - MEDIUM SHOT
We are inside one of the domes. It is a dim carved out cave.
A small passage on one of the room's walls is the only way in
or out. Half of the room is behind thick metal bars. TWENTY
PRISONERS are behind these rusty black bars. THREE
MANDALORIANS stand guard in the empty half of the room. Two
orange lamps glow near the MANDALORIANS.
There are several moments of silence, then a single blaster
bolt is fired from outside the door.
It strikes down the FIRST MANDALORIAN.
Riding in just behind the blaster bolt it OBI-WAN.
He quickly fires two more shots, taking out the OTHER
MANDALORIANS.
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
OBI-WAN approaches the cell.
This is the last cell in the camp.
He has already liberated all the other prisoners. They are
on their way to the ABCs right now.
The cell's OCCUPANTS push up against the bars, reaching out,
wanting freedom.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN shouts, his voice dark and powerful.
OBI-WAN
Get back!
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
The PRISONERS back away.
OBI-WAN pulls out his lightsabre, activating it in mid-swing.
He cuts a deep gash across the top of the bars. He then
brings his blade back, chopping through the bottom of the
metal rods.
He deactivates his sabre and returns it to his side in the
same movement.
The bars fall.
The PRISONERS rush out.
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
A profile view, the PRISONERS rush out of the cell. The
first out pick up the weapons held by the dead MANDALORIANS.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI
PRISONERS rush past the JEDI.
OBI-WAN maintains a collected mystique.
He subtly looks side to side, searching.
The PRISONERS empty out the cell.
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
A SINGLE FIGURE remains in the cell. The FIGURE, wrapped in
robes and blankets, stands against the back wall.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks at the FIGURE, his eyes wide.
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
The FIGURE stands there.
CLOSE UP - CLOAKED FIGURE
Two eyes look out from behind layers of cloth.
MEDIUM SHOT - CELL
The FIGURE steps forward, slowly.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND CLOAKED FIGURE
A profile view, the FIGURE moves close to OBI-WAN, moving
quickly with the last few steps.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks over the FIGURE.
CLOSE UP - CLOAKED FIGURE
The FIGURE brings its hand up over its head. Slowly, the
layers of cloth are unraveled.
As the final rag drops away, AMIDALA NABERRIE stands, staring
up at OBI-WAN.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND AMIDALA
AMIDALA propels herself into Obi-Wan's arms. She clings to
him. He does not let her go.
They hug each other tightly.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN looks down at AMIDALA. He is smiling a smile of pain
and tears.
CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA breathes heavily, just holding back the tears.
She speaks as loud as she can and still contain her emotions.
It is a whisper.
AMIDALA
Thank you.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND AMIDALA
OBI-WAN places a hand on Amidala's head, moving it from her
back.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI

CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA looks up at OBI-WAN. She sniffles. Her eyes are
wide.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND AMIDALA
OBI-WAN strokes her hair.
He then slowly pushes her away.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN speaks in a soft slow tone.
OBI-WAN
We have to go.
CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA nods, wiping her nose.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND AMIDALA
OBI-WAN hands AMIDALA his blaster pistol. She wraps both
hands tightly around it and takes a breath.
OBI-WAN turns to the exit.
CUT TO:
EXT. PRISON CAMP - JUST INSIDE STONE WALL - MEDIUM SHOT
OBI-WAN runs through the night. AMIDALA runs behind him,
trying the best she can to keep his pace.
SEVERAL PRISONERS run behind them.
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI
OBI-WAN runs, a determined look in his eyes.
CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA runs, panting.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI, AMIDALA, AND PRISONERS
The GROUP runs along the stone wall, approaching the opening
to the front path.
EXT. PRISON CAMP - FRONT PATH - MEDIUM SHOT
OBI-WAN runs outside the stone wall, AMIDALA close behind.
They freeze in their tracks.
The PRISONERS behind them freeze as they turn to exit the
camp.
MEDIUM SHOT - MANDALORIANS
We see why OBI-WAN, AMIDALA, and the PRISONERS stopped. A
group of MANDALORIANS, a long line, wait just outside the
wall.
Their blasters are trained on the PRISONERS.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI AND AMIDALA
OBI-WAN glares at the MANDALORIANS.
AMIDALA trembles at Obi-Wan's side.

(Halt or meet your death!)
CLOSE UP - OBI-WAN KENOBI

Obi-Wan's right hand hangs at his side, his fingers frozen in
a claw-like position.

The LEAD MANDALORIAN motions with his gun, pointing it back
toward the cells.
MANDALORIAN COMMANDER

Ne'Taki chu-chu malo tempana corbin

MEDIUM SHOT - MANDALORIANS
The MANDALORIANS stand, their weapons pointed at the GROUP.
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI, AMIDALA, AND PRISONERS

(Wait! Wait!)
MEDIUM SHOT - AMIDALA

raises her arms up over her head, Obi-Wan's blaster pistol
held gingerly between her fingers.
She screams in a desperate pleading voice.

in this! I don't want to die! Please,
don't kill me!

Please! Please!

Cah tul za-no chu tai-la-dan kislev. Vok

(No harm will come to you. Go
back to your cell.)
MEDIUM SHOT - AMIDALA
AMIDALA shouts in a weak voice.
AMIDALA
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
She slowly lowers her hands.
The moment that Obi-Wan's gun is facing the MANDALORIANS, she
opens fire, spraying bolts into the line.
MEDIUM SHOT - MANDALORIANS
The MANDALORIAN LINE falls.
MEDIUM SHOT - AMIDALA
AMIDALA turns around to the PRISONERS.
She shouts, her voice completely lacking the desperation in
it a moment ago. Instead, it is full, powerful, and
commanding.
AMIDALA
Go! Get to the ships! Go! Now!
CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA
Now!
MEDIUM SHOT - AMIDALA
The PRISONERS run past her.
AMIDALA watches them run, her feet planted.

the wound. He winces back in pain.

AMIDALA speaks in a soft concerned voice.
AMIDALA
Are you ok?
MEDIUM SHOT - OBI-WAN KENOBI

OBI-WAN
You shot me.

them down or killed them with a though.
CLOSE UP - AMIDALA
AMIDALA blinks.
