Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Page #3

Ohhh.

[ Coughs ]

So, my friend,

what can I do for ya?

You can tell me

what this is.

Well, whattaya know!

I ain't seen one of these

since I was prospectin'...

on Subterrel,

beyond the outer rim.

[ Obi-Wan ] Can you tell me

where it came from? Thank you.

[ Dex ] This baby

belongs to them cloners.

What you got here

is a Kamino saberdart.

I wonder why it didn't show up

in the analysis archives.

It's these funny little cuts

on the side that give it away.

Those analysis droids

only focus on symbols. Huh!

I should think that you Jedi

would have more respect...

for the difference

between 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, 1 2 parsecs...

outside the Rishi Maze.

Should be easy to find,

even for those droids in your archives.

[ Chuckles ]

These, uh, Kaminoans

keep to themselves.

They're cloners.

Damn good ones too.

- Cloners. Are they friendly?

- Oh, depends.

Depends on what, Dex?

On how good

your manners are...

and how big your, uh...

pocketbook is.

[ Chuckling ]

Hmm.

Did you call

for assistance?

- Yes, yes, I did.

- Are you having

a problem, Master Kenobi?

Yes, um, I'm looking for

a planetary system called Kamino.

- Kamino.

- It doesn't show up

on the archive charts.

Kamino. It's not a system

I'm familiar with.

Are you sure you have

the right coordinates?

According to my information, it should

appear in this quadrant here...

just south

of the Rishi Maze.

[ Beeping ]

I hate to say it, but it looks like

the system you're searching for...

doesn't exist.

Impossible. Perhaps the archives

are incomplete.

If an item does not appear

in our records...

it does not exist.

- Hey, you! No droids!

- [ Beeping ]

- Get outta here!

- [ Raspberries ]

- [ Beeping ]

- Thank you, R2.

- [ Chirping ]

- Must be difficult, having

sworn your life to theJedi...

not being able to visit the places

you like or do the things you like.

Or be with the people

that I love.

Are you allowed to love?

I thought that was

forbidden for a Jedi.

Attachment is forbidden.

Possession is forbidden.

Compassion, which I would define

as unconditional love...

is central

to a Jedi's life.

So you might say that

we are encouraged to love.

- You've changed so much.

- Ah, you haven't changed a bit.

You're exactly the way

I remember you in my dreams.

[ Yoda ] Reach out.

Sense the Force around you.

Use your feelings

you 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 planet

described to me by an old friend.

I trust him, but the systems

don't show on the archive maps.

Mmm. Lost a planet

Master Obi-Wan has.

- How embarrassing.

-[ Children Giggling ]

How embarrassing.

Hmm?

Liam, the shades.

Gather round

the map reader.

Clear your minds...

and find Obi-Wan's

wayward planet we will.

It ought to be... here...

but it isn't.

Gravity is pulling all the stars

in the area towards this spot.

Hmm. Gravity's

silhouette remains...

but the star

and all the planets...

disappeared they have.

How can this be?

Hmm? A thought?

-[ Yoda ] Anyone.

-[ Boy ] Master?

Because someone erased it

from the archive memory.

[ Yoda Chuckles ]

Truly wonderful

the mind of a child is.

[ Chuckling ]

The Padawan is right.

Go to the center

of gravity's pull...

and find your planet

you will.

Hmm. The data

must have been erased.

But, Master Yoda, who could

empty information from the archives?

That's impossible, isn't it?

Dangerous and disturbing

this puzzle is.

Only a Jedi

could have erased those files.

But who and why,

harder to answer.

Meditate on this I will. Hmm.

I wasn't the youngest queen

ever elected...

but now that I think back on it,

I'm not sure I was old enough.

I'm not sure

I was ready.

The people you served

thought you did a good job.

I heard they even tried

to amend the constitution

so you could stay in office.

I was relieved when

my two terms were up.

But when the queen asked me

to serve as senator...

I couldn't refuse her.

I agree with her.

I think the Republic needs you.

I'm glad that you

chose to serve.

[ Padm ] If the senate

votes to create an army...

- I'm sure it's going

to push us into a civil war.

- [ Man ] It's unthinkable.

There hasn't been a full-scale war

since the formation of the Republic.

Do you see any way

through negotiations...

to bring the separatists

back into the Republic?

Not if they feel threatened.

My guess is they'll turn

to the Trade Federations

or the Commerce Guilds for help.

It's outrageous, but after four trials

in the Supreme Court...

Nute Gunray is still the viceroy

of the Trade Federation.

I fear the senate is powerless

to resolve this crisis.

We must keep our faith

in the Republic.

The day we stop believing democracy

can work is the day we lose it.

Let's pray that day

never comes.

In the meantime,

we must consider your own safety.

What is your suggestion,

MasterJedi?

Oh, Anakin's

not a Jedi yet.

He's still a Padawan learner.

But I was thinking--

- Hold on a minute.

- Excuse me.

I was thinking I would stay

in the lake country.

There are some places up there

that are very isolated.

Excuse me. I'm in charge

of security here, milady.

And this is my home. I know it

very well. That is why we're here.

I think it would be wise

if you took advantage of

my knowledge in this instance.

Sorry, milady.

[ Queen Jamillia ]

Perfect. It's settled, then.

There it is, R4, right where it

should be. Our missing planet Kamino.

[ Whistling, Beeping ]

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

MasterJedi.

The prime minister

is expecting you.

- I'm expected?

- Of course.

He is anxious

to meet you.

After all these years...

we were beginning to think

you weren't coming.

Now, please, this way.

May I present Lama Su...

prime minister of Kamino.

And this is MasterJedi--

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I trust you're going

to enjoy your stay.

Please.

And now to business.

You will be delighted

to hear that we are on schedule.

are ready...

with a million more

well on the way.

That's good news.

Please tell

your Master Sifo-Dyas...

that his order

will be met on time.

I'm sorry. Master--

Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is still

a leading member of theJedi Council...

is he not?

Master Sifo-Dyas was killed

almost ten years ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry

to hear that.

But I'm sure he would have been proud

of the army we've built for him.

- The army?

- Yes.

A clone army, and I must say,

one of the finest we've ever created.

Tell me, Prime Minister...

when my master

first contacted you about the army...

did-- did he say

who it was for?

Of course he did.

This army

is for the Republic.

But you must be anxious
