Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Page #6

Synopsis: Ten years after the invasion of Naboo, the Galactic Republic is facing a Separatist movement and the former queen and now Senator Padmé Amidala travels to Coruscant to vote on a project to create an army to help the Jedi to protect the Republic. Upon arrival, she escapes from an attempt to kill her, and Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker are assigned to protect her. They chase the shape-shifter Zam Wessell but she is killed by a poisoned dart before revealing who hired her. The Jedi Council assigns Obi-Wan Kenobi to discover who has tried to kill Amidala and Anakin to protect her in Naboo. Obi-Wan discovers that the dart is from the planet Kamino, and he heads to the remote planet. He finds an army of clones that has been under production for years for the Republic and that the bounty hunter Jango Fett was the matrix for the clones. Meanwhile Anakin and Amidala fall in love with each other, and he has nightmarish visions of his mother. They travel to his home planet, Tatoo

Are you hungry?

The shifter broke.

Life seems so much simpler

when 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 things

no one can fix.

- You're not all-powerful, Ani.

- Well, I should be!

Someday I will be.

I will be

the most powerfulJedi ever!

I promise you.

I will even learn

to stop people from dying.

Anakin.

It's all Obi-Wan's fault!

He's jealous!

He's holding me back!

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 angry

is to be human.

I'm a Jedi.

I know I'm better than this.

[ Cliegg ] I know wherever you are

it's become a better place.

You were the most loving partner

a man could ever have.

Good-bye, my darling wife.

And thank you.

I wasn't strong enough

to save you, Mom.

I wasn't strong enough.

But I promise

I won't fail again.

I miss you...

so much.

[ Beeping ]

R2? What are you

doing here?

[ Beeping ]

It seems that he is carrying a message

from an Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hmm. Master Ani, does that name

mean anything to you?

[ Beeping ]

Anakin, my long-range transmitter

has been knocked out.

Retransmit this message

to Coruscant.

I have tracked the bounty hunter,

Jango Fett...

to the droid foundries

on Geonosis.

The Trade Federation is to take

delivery of a droid army here...

and it is clear

that Viceroy Gunray...

is behind the assassination attempts

on Senator Amidala.

The Commerce Guilds

and the Corporate Alliance...

have both pledged their armies

to Count Dooku and are forming a--

Wait. Wait.

- [ Lightsaber Whooshing ]

- [ Obi-Wan Grunting ]

More happening on Geonosis, I feel,

than has been revealed.

I agree.

Anakin, we will deal

with Count Dooku.

The most important thing for you

is to stay where you are.

Protect the senator

at all costs.

That is your first priority.

Understood, Master.

They'll never get there

in time to save him.

They have to come halfway

across the galaxy. Look.

Geonosis is

less than a parsec away.

If he's still alive.

Ani, are you just gonna sit here

and 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 orders to stay here!

He gave you strict orders

to protect me...

and I'm going to help Obi-Wan.

- If you plan to protect me,

you'll just have to come along.

- [ Engines Power Up ]

I'm not worried, R2.

It's just I've never flown before.

The Commerce Guilds are preparing

for war. There can be no doubt of that.

[ Palpatine ] Count Dooku

must have made a treaty with them.

[ Speaking In Alien Language ]

The debate is over.

Now we need that clone army.

Unfortunately,

the debate is not over.

The senate will never approve the use

of clones before the separatists attack.

This is a crisis.

The senate must vote the chancellor

emergency powers.

He can then approve

the creation of an army.

But what senator would have the courage

to propose such 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 you were

the leader here, Dooku.

This had nothing to do with me,

I assure you.

I will petition immediately

to have you set free.

Well, I hope it doesn't take

too long. I have work to do.

May I ask why a Jedi knight...

is all the way out here

on Geonosis?

I've been tracking a bounty hunter

named Jango Fett.

Do you know him?

There are no bounty hunters here

that I am aware of.

The Geonosians

don't trust them.

Who can blame them?

But he is here, I can assure you.

It's a great pity that our paths

have never crossed before, Obi-Wan.

Qui-Gon always spoke

very highly of you.

I wish he were still alive.

I could use his help right now.

Qui-Gon Jinn

would never join you.

Don't be so sure,

my young Jedi.

You forget that he was once

my apprentice...

just as you

were once his.

He knew all about

the corruption in the senate...

but he would never have

gone along with it if he had

learned the truth as I have.

- The truth?

- The truth.

What if I told you

that the Republic...

was now under the control

of the dark lord of the Sith?

No, that's not possible.

TheJedi would be aware of it.

The dark side of the Force

has clouded their vision, my friend.

Hundreds of senators

are now under the influence...

of a Sith lord

called Darth Sidious.

I don't believe you.

The viceroy

of the Trade Federation...

was once in league

with this Darth Sidious...

but he was betrayed

ten years ago by the dark lord.

He came to me for help.

He told me everything.

You must join me, Obi-Wan...

and together

we will destroy the Sith!

I will never join you, Dooku.

It may be difficult

to secure your release.

[JarJar ] 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 propose

that the senate...

give immediately

emergency powers...

to the supreme chancellor.

[ Shouts Of Approval ]

Palpatine! Palpatine! Palpatine!

[ Shouting In Alien Language ]

[ Senate Chairman ]

Order! We shall have order!

It is with great reluctance...

that I have agreed

to this calling.

- I love democracy.

I love the Republic.

- [ Applause ]

The power you give me...

I will lay down

when this crisis has abated.

[ Cheering, Applause ]

And as my first act

with this new authority...

I will create a grand army

of the Republic...

to counter the increasing threats

of the separatists.

It is done, then.

Hmm.

I will take whatJedi we have left

and go to Geonosis and help Obi-Wan.

Visit I will

the cloners on Kamino, hmm...

and see this army they have

created for the Republic.

See those columns of steam

straight ahead?

They're exhaust vents

of some type.

That'll do.

Look, whatever happens

out there, follow my lead.

I'm not interested

in getting into a war here.

As a member

of the senate...

maybe I can find

a diplomatic solution to this mess.

Don't worry. I've given up

trying to argue with you.

[ Whistling, Beeping ]

My obtuse little friend,

if they had needed our help...

they would have

asked for it, hmm?

You obviously have a great deal

to learn about human behavior.

[ Beeping ]

- [ Beeping ]

- For a mechanic...

you seem to do

an excessive amount of thinking.

- [ Beeping ]

- I am programmed

to understand humans!

[ Beeping ]

''What does that mean?'' Oh!

- That means I am in charge here!

- [ Raspberries ]

Where are you going now?

You don't know what's out there.
