Padme hugs him tightly.

PADME:

So, what do we do now?

DARTH VADER:

We’re free to live our lives now, like

we’ve always wanted.

Out of nowhere, we hear a familiar voice...

OBI-WAN KENOBI (O.C.)

What happened, Anakin?

Vader turns and sees Obi-Wan saunter down the ship’sramp! He snuck on board knowing Padme would lead himright to Anakin.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Where did it all go wrong?

Padme pulls away from Anakin, surprised to see the Jedi.

DARTH VADER:

What are you doing here?

PADME:

He must have stowed away. I swear I

didn’t know he was on board, Anakin!

DARTH VADER:

Go to the control tower, Padme.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

No, why don’t you stay and listen to whatyour husband has become.

DARTH VADER:

Shutup, Obi-Wan. Padme, do as I say.

(angrily)

Now!

Padme hesitates, part of her desperately wants to hearwhat Obi-Wan has to say.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

How many lives have you taken, Anakin?

How many lives did it take for your getwhat you wanted?

117.

DARTH VADER:

I have chosen my own path, Not the one

you would have me take.

Obi-Wan walks towards his former apprentice.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

That much is for certain. Master Windu

was right about you. About youroverwhelming pride and arrogance. Did

you feel any guilt after you killed him?

DARTH VADER:

Master Windu attacked me. I had no

choice.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

There is always a choice, Anakin.

DARTH VADER:

I spared your life at the Chancellor’soffice. You shouldn’t have come back.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Unlike you, I do feel guilty, about theway I failed you. I thought I couldtrain you as well as Yoda himself.

DARTH VADER:

I absolve you of your guilt, Obi-Wan, butI have a new master now.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Yes, I know.

DARTH VADER:

You’ve left me no choice but to kill you.

Obi-Wan cannot believe how far his student has fallen.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

We were friends, Anakin, fellow Jedi

serving a greater purpose than ourselves.

Doesn’t that mean anything to you?

DARTH VADER:

(beat)

My name is Darth Vader.

Vader ignites his lightsaber.

Obi-Wan knows now there is no turning back. Either he or

Anakin will die on this obscure, out-of-the-way rock of aplanet.

118.

Padme intervenes, stands in between Vader and Obi-Wan.

PADME:

(pleading)

Anakin, stop! Things don’t have to endthis way.

DARTH VADER:

That’s where you’re wrong.

Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber.

PADME:

No more fighting, please!

Padme tries to hold her husband back as moves towards his

foe.

DARTH VADER:

Get out of my way.

Vader shoves Padme to the side.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Leave her out of this!

Vader becomes so enraged that he inadvertently Forcechokes his own wife!

DARTH VADER:

This is all your fault, Obi-Wan!

Padme struggles to breathe.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Let her go! It’s me you want!

Vader realizes what he’s done.

DARTH VADER:

Padme!

Padme is unconscious now, lying on the platform.

Obi-Wan makes the first move, charges Vader while he’s

distracted.
