I sense Count Dooku’s presence.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

I sense a trap.

ANAKIN:

Next move?

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Spring the trap.

The JEDI start to leave, Artoo follows.

ANAKIN:

Artoo, go back. I need you to stay withthe ship.

Here, take this, and wait for orders.

INT. GENERATOR ROOM - TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER

The TWO JEDI cut their way down several floors into alarge generator room.

Huge EXPLOSIONS outside the ship have caused severallarge pipes overhead to break, and fluid is spewingeverywhere.

The Jedi get up and turn off their light sabers.

Kenobi dips his hand into the fluid and sniffs it.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Fuel. The slightest charge from oursabers will send this ship into oblivion.

That's why they've stopped shooting.

ANAKIN:

Well then, we're safe for the time being.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Your idea of safe is not the same as

mine.

They run, EXPLOSIONS rattle the ship, and pipes continueto burst around them, spilling more fuel into thehallway.

At the far end, SIX SUPER BATTLE DROIDS drop into thefuel. The SOUNDS OF SHIELD DOORS CLOSING AND LOCKING

ECHO throughout the hallway.

They pass several large power generators, which aretopped with SPARKING excess power dischargers.

ANAKIN:

They're sealing this section off.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Six droids coming our way!

The last of the DOORS CAN BE HEARD CLOSING in the

distance.

The TWO JEDI pull themselves through the narrow ventshaft until they reach a small hatch in the side of thetube.

ANAKIN:

Here's a way out.

15.

As the SUPER BATTLE DROIDS reach the opening in theceiling and the fuel gets to within a few feet of thepower generator sparks.

The JEDI work the keyboard on the pressure lock, openingthe latch.

The TWO JEDI climb into a small passageway and slam thehatch shut. They make their way through the ever-

shrinking shaft until they reach the end.

INT. WIDE HALLWAY - TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER

The two JEDI wait for an elevator to arrive. They turnaround and see they’re face to face with THREE DESTROYERDROIDS.

The DROIDS start blasting away. Anakin deflects the

bolts. Obi-Wan frantically pushes the elevator buttonseveral more times.

ANAKIN:

Destroyers!

Finally the door opens, and they rush inside under a hailof laser bolts. The elevator door slides shut.

The JEDI turn to see BATTLE DROIDS standing behind them.

BATTLE DROID:

Drop your weapons!

The JEDI activate their light sabers and destroy all theBATTLE DROIDS.

The elevator begins to move and screeches to a stop.

ANAKIN:

Well, there's more than one way out ofhere.

Anakin ignites his lightsaber.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

We don't want to get out, we want to getmoving. Artoo, Artoo. Do you copy?

Activate elevator...

The elevator begins moving.

INT. GENERAL'S QUARTER'S - TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER

The elevator door opens and the TWO JEDI carefully maketheir way into the main room of the General's Quarters.

At the far end sits SUPREME CHANCELLOR PALPATINE.

Anakin and Obi-Wan move towards the Chancellor. As theyget closer, they see a very distressed look on theChancellor's face.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Chancellor.

ANAKIN:

Are you all right?

PALPATINE:

(quietly)

Count Dooku.

Palpatine makes a small gesture with his hand.

Obi-Wan and Anakin turn around.

The elevator doors open as COUNT DOOKU strides into the

room. He’s on a balcony above the Jedi, with two SUPERBATTLE DROIDS.

Dooku executes a forward flip down to the main level likea man half his age.

Obi-Wan and Anakin throw off their cloaks and ignitetheir lightsabers.

COUNT DOOKU:

The Master and his apprentice. How

little things have changed.

Obi-Wan and Anakin move toward the wily Count.

17.

OBI-WAN KENOBI

You won't get away this time, Dooku.

Obi-Wan and Anakin charge Count Dooku. A great swordfight ensues.

COUNT DOOKU:

I've been looking forward to this.

ANAKIN:

My powers have doubled since the lasttime we met.

COUNT DOOKU:

Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

Dooku lunges at the JEDI and they fall back.

COUNT DOOKU:

Your moves are clumsy, Kenobi, toopredictable. You'll have to do better.

As the battle proceeds, Obi-Wan and Dooku are tired.

Anakin grows stronger as he becomes angry. He takes the

attack to Dooku. The Count throws Obi-Wan back using theForce.

Anakin and Dooku move up the stairs. As they reach theupper landing of the General's Quarters, Anakin leapsover the Count.

Obi-Wan reaches the top of the stairs, destroying TWOSUPER BATTLE DROIDS.

Dooku holds Obi-Wan in the air using the Force, turns andkicks Skywalker out of frame.

Obi-Wan is choking. Anakin hits the archway.

Dooku sends Kenobi flying. The Jedi tumbles to the lower

level unconscious.

Dooku spins around again, and using the Force, collapsesa section of the balcony onto Obi-Wan.

Anakin spins and kicks the Count, sending him over thebalcony. Anakin Jumps, following him down to the mainfloor.

They continue their vicious fight.

18.

COUNT DOOKU:

I sense great fear in you, Skywalker.

You have hate, you have anger, but youdon’t use them.

Anakin regains his composure and attacks Dooku as the

Dark Lord continues his spin to meet him head on.

Anakin attacks Dooku with a new ferocity. Their fightingbecomes even more intense.

Finally, in one last energized charge, Anakin cuts offboth Dooku's hands! The Jedi catches the lightsaber as

it drops from the Sith Lord's severed hand.

Dooku stumbles to the floor in shock as Anakin puts the

two lightsabers to his neck.

Palpatine is grinning as he watches the evil Count'sdefeat.

PALPATINE:

Good, Anakin, good. I knew you could doit. Kill him. Kill him now!

Dooku is bewildered by the Chancellor’s vicious order.

ANAKIN:

I shouldn't...

PALPATINE:

(sternly)

Do it!

The helpless Count’s eyes widen, he cannot believe hislegendary life will end like this.

Anakin cuts off Dooku's head. A huge EXPLOSION somewheredeep in the ship rattles everything.
