Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Page #11

Grievous loses control of the Wheel Scooter, leaps out asit races towards Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan dives out of the wayof the Scooter and it rolls off the edge of the platform.

62.

The two engage in hand-to-hand combat. OBI-WAN strugglesto avoid the deadly blows of the brutal, unstoppableDroid.

Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber, Grievous ignites three of

his blades, and the two warriors fight furiously. Obi-

Wan hacks off one of Grievous’s arms but the droid

continues fighting.

Using the Force, Obi-Wan damages Grievous’s stomachplate,

revealing the alien life form's guts encased in a baginside the Droid's chest.

The wounded Grievous lunges forward grabs Obi-Wan, hoistshim over his head, and tosses him across the platform.

Obi-Wan dangles off the edge of the platform. He

clutches the rim, trying to hold on.

Obi-Wan gets back on to the platform. Grievous is

wounded badly, and he must now protect his exposed

organs. Obi-Wan sees his chance, uses the Force again topressure Grievous’s mechanical shell.

Grievous GROWLS in pain. He may be a deadly swordsmanbut he has no Force abilities whatsoever. Obi-Wan

charges forward and in one stroke slices the droid’s legsoff at the waist.

The pathetic form of Grievous lies defenseless on theground, a single handless arm remaining of his cyborg

carcass.

Obi-Wan stands over him, victorious at last.

GENERAL GRIEVOUS

(coughing)

This is not the end, Kenobi. The Droid

Armies will never stop.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Not to worry, General. That is myproblem.

Obi-Wan calls upon the Force, crushes the organ baginside the torso’s chest cavity.

Grievous GROWLS one last time, his lifeforce literallycrushed. The General closes his alien eyes.

EXT. LANDING PLATFORM - SUNDOWN

Anakin meets with Padme in the tunnel of a covered

landing platform.

63.

PADME:

Anakin, I’m so tired of meeting likethis.

ANAKIN:

I hate it just as much as you do.

PADME:

How are we supposed to carry on likethis? Meeting in alleyways and tunnelsfor the rest of our lives? What do we do

when our child is born.

ANAKIN:

I know, Padme. I’m looking for asolution.

PADME:

Why don’t you leave the Order.

ANAKIN:

Don’t talk like that.

PADME:

It’s the only way. Because of their

rules, their dogmas, we can’t betogether, Anakin.

ANAKIN:

I am a Jedi Master.

(angrily)

I’ve trained most all of my life toachieve this position and you want me tothrow it all away?

PADME:

For us, yes, not just for me. Eventuallythey’re going to learn the truth.

Anakin and Padme walk out onto the open section of thelanding platform.

ANAKIN:

I can prevent that from happening.

PADME:

No, no you can’t, Ani. Not even yourpowers are that strong.

ANAKIN:

This conversation is over for now. I’ll

see you later tonight.

64.

Anakin walks away back into the covered tunnel of theplatform. Padme sobs as she returns to her Speeder Car.

As Anakin walks towards the elevator, a hooded figureemerges from behind the support beams.

MACE WINDU:

Wait right there, Skywalker.

Master Windu throws his hood back.

ANAKIN:

(shocked)

Master Windu...

MACE WINDU:

I’m the last person you ever expected todiscover your secret, aren’t I?

ANAKIN:

You don’t understand, Master.

MACE WINDU:

I understand very well, Skywalker. And I

heard every thing.

ANAKIN:

What are you going to do now?

MACE WINDU:

The only thing there is to do. Turn youin to the Council and let them decide

your fate.

ANAKIN:

They will expel me, Master Windu.

MACE WINDU:

Oh, I know they will. I’m counting onit.

ANAKIN:

You’ve never like me. You were alwaysset against me.

MACE WINDU:

From the very first time I met you I knewthere was something wrong with your path.

Your pride was always there and yourdestiny has always been clouded in doubtand fear. I hid my true feelings fromthe Council but now I see my instincts

were correct.

65.

ANAKIN:

Tread carefully, Master Windu. I am a

Jedi Master as well.

MACE WINDU:

Not any more, in my eyes.

Anakin and Windu lock eyes, each trying to guess theothers next move.

ANAKIN:

Then I take that as a threat on my...

(ignites his lightsaber)

Life!

Anakin charges his fellow Master. Mace Windu ignites hisdistinctive purple blade and parries the blow.

Mace and Anakin have never even sparred, so they brieflyfeel each other out.

Padme hears the clashing of the lightsabers, walks back

towards the covered tunnel.

Anakin and Mace fight viciously inside the tight space,

slashing the support beams as they fight off each othersstrikes.

MACE WINDU:

You finally crossed the line, Skywalker!

I always knew you weren’t cut out to be aJedi.

ANAKIN:

You’ve made a big mistake, Master Windu.

MACE WINDU:

You pride knows no bounds.

Anakin moves away, puts several feet of space between himand Windu.

ANAKIN:

No, my power knows no bounds.

Anakin summons the Force and throws Mace backwards into

the tunnel wall, smashing the glass.

The tunnel rocks as the wind whips in through theopening. The damaged support beams give way and thetunnel starts to lean downward.

66.

Mace gets to his feet, but he’s on the lower ground,

sliding downward. He grabs hold of the last beam insidethe structure.

ANAKIN:

I’m sorry, Master Windu. But it’s either

you or me.

Padme runs over, holds on to one of the beams.

PADME:

Anakin, what are you doing?

ANAKIN:

Stay out of this, Padme.

MACE WINDU:

Don’t let this happen, Senator!

Anakin Force pushes the beams, bending them further untilthey break. Without hesitation, Anakin swings hislightsaber one last time against the wall, severing thetunnel in half.

The tunnel falls down towards the endless city ofCoruscant, taking Master Mace Windu to his death.

PADME:

Anakin!

Anakin rushes over to console Padme. At first, she tries

to break free from his grasp.

ANAKIN:

Stop fighting me, Padme!

PADME:

(sobbing)

Let go of me!

ANAKIN:

Stop it!

Anakin uses the Force to immobilize her. He backs away,

trying to catch his breath.

Padme is frozen still, seized by the power of the Force.

ANAKIN:

He was going to expose me, Padme.

He releases Padme.

67.

ANAKIN:

You saw how he threatened me?

Padme gasps for air.

ANAKIN:

I’m sorry, are you alright?

Anakin hugs Padme, kisses her hair.

ANAKIN:

I’m so sorry.

PADME:

What are we going to do now?

ANAKIN:

Leave that to me. I’ll take care of

this.

EXT. SPACEPORT - CORUSCANT - DAY

A Republic Transport lands.

Obi-Wan and his remaining Clone Troopers exit the ship.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Home sweet home.

CLONE COMMANDER CODY

But for how long. Sir?

OBI-WAN KENOBI

We shall leave that up to destiny, Cody.

(pats Cody’s shoulder)

You and your men get some rest. You

deserve it.

CLONE COMMANDER CODY

Will do, sir.

Obi-Wan breathes in the morning Coruscant air, justcontent to be out of the warzone for once.

INT. HALLWAY - CHANCELLOR’S QUARTERS - EVENING

Anakin is distressed!

And rightly so. He paces back and forth, his anger andguilt dueling for control of his emotions. The inner

turmoil breaks free. With his mechanical right arm hepunches a hallway column, shattering it with his fury.
