OBI-WAN KENOBI

(to himself)

He still has much to learn.

Anakin swoops low and skims across a TRADE FEDERATIONBATTLESHIP, dodging flack as Artoo bounces along, trying

to get out a sentence.

ANAKIN:

Hang on, Artoo. Obi-Wan, do you copy?

I'm going to pull them through theneedle.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Too dangerous. First Jedi rule:

"Survive."

ANAKIN:

Sorry, no choice. Come down here and

thin them out a little.

Obi-Wan drops in behind the DROID VULTURE FIGHTERSchasing Anakin. Arfour BEEPS to his Master.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Just keep me steady... hold on... notyet... now break left.

Obi-Wan fires as he swings across the back of the VULTUREDROIDS, BLASTING four of them away.

Anakin heads for a trench along the surface of one of theTrade Federation Battleships. He flies into the trench,

which ends in a conning tower with a small slit betweentwo main struts.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

You'll never get through there, Anakin.

It's too tight.

Artoo BEEPS nervously.

ANAKIN:

Easy, Artoo... we've done this before.

8.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Use the Force, think yourself through,

the ship will follow.

Artoo SQUEALS in a panic. On the view screen Artoo's

squeal reads out, "WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT."

ANAKIN:

Wrong thought, Artoo.

Anakin slips through the narrow gap. The trailingVulture Droid Fighters CRASH!

ANAKIN:

I'm through.

Obi-Wan continues firing on the VULTURE DROID FIGHTERS,

driving them into the EXPLOSION.

A CLONE fighter is hit and explodes, spewing debris. TheCLONE PILOT spins off into space.

Finally, Obi-Wan peels off and swings around, pulling upalongside Anakin.

CLONE FIGHT SQUAD SEVEN battles the Droids.

ODD BALL:

There are too many of them.

CLONE PILOT 2

I'm on your wing. Break left. Break

left. They're all over me. Get them off

my...

The Clone’s ship EXPLODES.

ANAKIN:

I'm going to go help them out!

OBI-WAN KENOBI

No, no! They are doing their job so wecan do ours. Head for the Command Ship!

Another CLONE fighter is hit, bursts into flames, andspins off into space.

A VULTURE DROID FIGHTER raises its head to locate its

target and fires missiles at them.

ANAKIN:

Missiles! Pull up!

9.

Anakin and Obi-Wan break right and left, and the missilesfollow them. Anakin does a barrel roll spin, causing themissiles following him to collide and EXPLODE.

Two missiles continue to chase Obi-Wan. He banks sharplyto the right, then to the left, causing one of themissiles to overshoot.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

They overshot us...

The second missile streaks next to Obi-Wan’s Fighter andEXPLODES.

Obi-Wan's ship rocks, and Arfour, SCREAMS as theStarfighter rips through the explosion. Debris flies all

around them.

ANAKIN:

They're coming around!

OBI-WAN KENOBI

All right, Arfour. No, no. Nothing toofancy.

ANAKIN:

Surge all power units, Artoo! Stand bythe reverse thrusters.

Anakin spins his starfighter. The missiles spin andcollide.

ANAKIN:

We got 'em, Artoo!

Two missiles continue to track Obi-Wan.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Flying is for droids.

Suddenly, OBI-WAN shudders, and his ship starts toplummet toward the surface of the Trade FederationCruiser.

The trailing missiles fly into what looks like debris,

and detonate. Five silver balls fly out of the debrisand attach themselves to the ship. The balls pop open,

revealing SMALL BUZZ DROIDS that begin to crawl acrossthe surface like spiders.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

I'm hit! Anakin?

10.

ANAKIN:

I see them... Buzz Droids.

The BUZZ DROIDS crawl across Obi-Wan's ship and start totear it apart.

SPARKS ERUPT where the BUZZ DROIDS break into the wiring.

One of the BUZZ DROIDS goes after Arfour.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Arfour, be careful. You have one...

Aefour's head gets ripped off and flies away.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Oh, dear. They're shutting down all thecontrols.

ANAKIN:

Move to the right so I can get a clearshot.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

The mission. Get to the Command Ship.

Get the Chancellor! I'm running out oftricks here.

Anakin moves into position just off Obi-Wan's left sideand angles his ship so his guns are pointing at theDROIDS crawling over Obi-Wan’s Starfighter.

Anakin fires and vaporizes the TWO BUZZ DROIDS, along

with the left wing of Obi-Wan's ship.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

In the name of...

ANAKIN:

Steady, steady...

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Anakin, hold your fire, hold your fire.

You're not helping here.

ANAKIN:

I agree, bad idea. Swing right, easeover... steady...

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Wait, wait, I can't see a thing! Mycockpit's fogging. They're all over me,

Anakin.

11.

ANAKIN:

Move to the right.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Hold on, Anakin. You're going to get usboth killed! Get out of here. There's

nothing more you can do.

ANAKIN:

I'm not leaving without you, Obi-Wan.

Anakin moves his ship next to Obi-Wan's and tries tophysically knock the BUZZ DROIDS off. Five are left. He

manages to get one off, but badly dents Obi-Wan's ship inthe process.

One of the BUZZ DROIDS tears apiece off of the front ofObi-Wan's ship. Flames burst, more smoke billows out,

obscuring the Jedi's view.

Anakin knocks off three of the BUZZ DROIDS and the fourth

crawls out onto Anakin's ship and starts attacking Artoo.

fights the BUZZ DROID.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Blast it... I can't see... my controls

are gone.

ANAKIN:

Get 'em, Artoo. Watch out!

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Artoo, hit the buzz droid's center eye.

Artoo extends an arm and aims a stream of electricity atthe swerving BUZZ DROID. The BUZZ DROID is hit squarelyin the eye and falls off the ship.

ANAKIN:

Yeah, you got him!

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Great, Artoo.

ANAKIN:

Stay on my wing, the General's CommandShip is dead ahead. Easy, pull up...

Head for the hangar.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Have you noticed the shields are stillup?

12.

ANAKIN:

Oh! Sorry, Master.

Anakin streaks ahead of Obi-Wan's disintegrating JediFighter and blasts the shield generator. It SPARKS and

EXPLODES.

OBI-WAN

Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.

INT. MAIN HANGAR-TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER

The shield door drops away, and Obi-Wan crashes on thedeck of the hangar bay, engulfed in a FANTAIL OF SPARKS.

A set of blast doors starts SLAMMING shut across the

hangar opening, as material is sucked into space.

Anakin, as only he can, maneuvers around the oncomingjunk and flies into the hangar just as the blast doorsSLAM shut.

Obi-Wan ignites his light saber and cuts his way out ofthe cockpit. He jumps dear just as his ship EXPLODES.

BATTLE DROIDS rush at him from all directions.

Anakin jumps out of his ship and cuts his way through theBATTLE DROIDS to where Obi-Wan is fighting.

Artoo pops out of the ship and follows Anakin.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Artoo, locate the Chancellor.

ANAKIN:

Tap into the ship's computers.

They cut down the last of the droids and follow Artoo

over to a computer wall socket. The two JEDI fight offFOUR MORE DROIDS as Artoo tries to find the Chancellor.

Finally, a HOLOGRAM of the Trade Federation ship appears.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

The Chancellor's signal is coming fromright there. The observation platform atthe top of that spire.
