Look out, four droids inbound...

Don't worry. I'm coming around behind
you.

I copy, Artoo.

I'm going down on the deck.
ANAKIN:
Good idea... I need some room to
maneuver, though.
Obi-Wan dives toward the surface of one of the largerTRADE FEDERATION BATTLESHIPS and is forced to fly througha maelstrom of laser flack. He skims the surface,
followed by the DROID DROP FIGHTER, which is followed byAnakin.

Cut right. Do you hear me? Cut right.
Don't let him get a handle on you. Come
on, Artoo, lock on! Lock on!

Hurry up! I don't like this!

OBI-WAN KENOBI
Ouch!

shut it down.

We're locked on... we've got him.

The one crawling with vulture droids.

VULTURE FIGHTERS stalking around on the hull.
The VULTURE FIGHTERS transform into flight configuration,
lift off the CRUISER, and attack the JEDI STARFIGHTERS.
ANAKIN:
Come on, Master.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Not this time. There's too much at
stake. We need help. Odd Ball, do youcopy?

Mark my position and form your squad upbehind me...

emerge and join the DROID VULTURE FIGHTERSheading toward the Jedi.
The JEDI STARFIGHTERS extend the stability foils on theends of their wings.
INT. ANAKIN'S FIGHTER COCKPIT
ANAKIN:
This is where the fun begins. Ten
Vulture Droids straight ahead, comingdown the left side.
Artoo BEEPS a worried message.

Add five Tri-fighters on the right...
ANAKIN:
I'm going head to head. See you.

Take it easy, Anakin.
Four Clone Fighters move into formation behind the Jedi.

I'm on your right, Red Leader.

Five more on the right!
Four more VULTURE DROID FIGHTERS pass at high speed fromthe left. All hell breaks loose.

ANAKIN:
Here we go.
The Jedi ships split up and make a quick loop around theDROID TRI-FIGHTERS, ending up behind them. BLASTING
away. The DROID TRI-FIGHTERS EXPLODE.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I'm going high and right.
ANAKIN:
Hang on. There are four more of them.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Stay with me... swing back and right...
help me engage. Now back off... Let them
pass between us.
ANAKIN:
I'm coming around on your tail.
OBI-WAN
All right, engage... and hurry. These
droids are over me.
In one incredible move, ANAKIN swings in behind the DROIDTRI-FIGHTERS, blowing them away one by one until there is
only one left. ARTOO CHIRPS.
Artoo lets out a HOWL as ANAKIN accelerates past the lastDROID TRI-FIGHTER, slams on his brakes, flips the Fighter
around, and BLASTS the Fighter from the front.

ANAKIN:
How many back there. Artoo?
(Artoo beeps)
Three... Four... that's not good.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Anakin, you have four on your tail.
