Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Page #4
ANAKIN:
I, I couldn't stop myself.
PALPATINE:
You did well, Anakin. He was too
dangerous to be kept alive. Believe me,
the galaxy will be a much better placewithout him.
Anakin tosses Dooku's lightsaber to the floor.
ANAKIN:
Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner.
19.
He raises his hand towards the Admiral's Chair, the
Chancellor's restraints pop loose.
ANAKIN:
I shouldn't have done that, Chancellor.
It's not the Jedi way.
Palpatine stands up, rubbing his wrists.
PALPATINE:
It is only natural. You wanted revenge.
ANAKIN:
No... it wasn’t like that this time.
Palpatine places his hands on Anakin’s shoulders.
PALPATINE:
It wasn't the first time, Anakin.
Besides, he was threatening the life ofthe Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.
ANAKIN:
(beat)
I suppose.
PALPATINE:
Should there be an inquiry I shall vouchfor your bravery. Now, we really mustleave before more security droids arrive.
The ship begins leaning to one side.
Anakin rushes over to Obi-Wan, lifts the control console
from on top of him, and pulls him free. He kneels down
and checks his unconscious friend.
Palpatine heads for the elevators.
PALPATINE:
Anakin, there isn’t any time. We must
get off the ship before it's too late.
ANAKIN:
He seems to be all right.
PALPATINE:
Leave him, or we'll never make it.
ANAKIN:
His fate will be the same as ours.
He picks up Obi-Wan, slings him over his shoulder, headsfor the elevators.

GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Prepare for attack.

All batteries fire! Fire!

Clone troopers go flying.
INT. ELEVATOR LOBBY - TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER
Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine enter an elevator.
INT. ELEVATOR
Anakin lays Obi-Wan down, contacts Artoo via comlink.
ANAKIN:
Artoo, we’re in the same elevator as
before. Get us back down to the hangar.
PALPATINE:
(re:
Obi-Wan)We’re taking an awful risk lugging himaround.
ANAKIN:
(firmly; irritated)
The burden is all mine, and I don’t want
to hear to any more talk of it.
PALPATINE:
I apologize, Anakin. I just want thisordeal to be over with.
ANAKIN:
You’ll be back in the Senate in no time.
Obi-Wan snaps back into life.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Where are we?
Anakin helps him to his feet.
21.
ANAKIN:
On our way out of here.
PALPATINE:
How good to have you back with us, MasterKenobi.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
It’s good to be back, Chancellor.
(to Anakin)
And Dooku?
ANAKIN:
He’s dead.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Dead? Our plan was to return with him asour prisoner, Anakin.
ANAKIN:
Well, things didn’t go that smoothly. He
wasn’t exactly willing to surrender.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
(upset)
How are we going to explain this to theCouncil? Dooku would’ve been a wealth of
information to us.
ANAKIN:
He never would have talked, Master.
PALPATINE:
Master Kenobi, if I may intervene. I
witnessed the entire event. Lord Tyranusleft Anakin no alternative but to kill or
be killed.
Obi-Wan looks at Anakin.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Is this true, Anakin.
ANAKIN:
Yes, Master.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Then the word of the Supreme Chancelloris good enough for me.
The elevator stops. The door opens.
22.
INT. HANGAR
The Jedi are now back where they began. Both of their
starfighters still intact.
ANAKIN:
Here we are.
The three of them exit the elevator.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
It simply can’t be this easy.
ANAKIN:
Try and keep a positive outlook, Master.
(comlink)
Artoo, we’re here.
Artoo moves out into the open, rolls towards Anakin’sStarfighter.
Obi-Wan and Palpatine jog towards his ship when...
The main blast door opens, revealing General Grievous and
his two Bodyguards.
GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Leaving so soon, Jedi?
Anakin ignites his lightsaber, moves towards Grievous.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Anakin, wait.
PALPATINE:
Is he always this forceful?
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I’m afraid so. Wait here, Chancellor.
Anakin is almost upon Grievous
GENERAL GRIEVOUS
(to his Bogyguards)
Kill him!
The Droid Bodyguards whirl their electro-staffs as theycharge Anakin.
Anakin grins, waits for them to get closer, then flips
over them.
ANAKIN:
Master!
23.
Obi-Wan is in front of the Bodyguards now.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I’ve got them!
Obi-Wan fights the two Bodyguards.
Anakin is free to challenge Grievous.
ANAKIN:
You’re all mine, General.
GENERAL GRIEVOUS
(coughing)
Pitiful Jedi!
Grievous ignites two lightsabers and engages Anakin.
They take the fight inside the hangar.
Obi-Wan destroys the Droid Bodyguards within a few moves.
Anakin and Grievous are locked in mortal combat. The
Cyborg General is the weaker of the two, but he’s filledwith tricks.
As Anakin forces him against the wall, Grievous uses hisfeet claws and scales the wall.
ANAKIN:
Coward!
GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Come and get me, Jedi!
He gets his wish. Anakin uses the Force to toss a crate
at Grievous, knocking him down from the wall.
Grievous lands on top of a Vulture Droid, smashing it topieces.
ANAKIN:
You keep on running, Grievous...
Grievous scurries away like an insect using his four armsand two legs.
Anakin catches up to him, cutting off one arm.
Grievous doesn’t want to fight, he’s looking for an
escape.
ANAKIN:
There’s nowhere to run. I’m gonna take
the rest of your arms now!
24.
Grievous scales the wall again, this time squeezing intoan Exhaust Port, where he disappears.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
He’s gone, Anakin. We’ve got what wecame for, so let’s get out of here.
Anakin is frustrated, wanting so badly to finish off thedroid General.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
This ship is on its last leg. We best be
going.
Obi-Wan climbs into his Starfighter, taking Palpatine
with him. Anakin and Artoo get into their Starfighter.
Both Jedi take off as a random EXPLOSION rattles the bigCruiser’s hangar.
INT. EXHAUST PORT - TRADE FEDERATION CRUISER
General Grievous scurries down the tiny shaft, coughingall the way.
INT. POD BAY
Grievous enters the escape pod bay through the hatch. He
goes to a control panel and opens an escape pod. The
Droid General pulls a row of switches, and one by one theremaining pods are jettisoned.
He climbs inside one, the hatch closes, and the escapepod blasts away from the damaged Cruiser.
EXT. SPACE
Anakin and Obi-Wan’s Starfighters speed out of theseverely damaged Trade Federation Cruiser in the nick oftime.
Numerous EXPLOSIONS rock the heavy Cruiser, causing it tonosedive towards the planet surface.
25.
INT. OBI-WAN’S STARFIGHTER
Obi-Wan steers clear of incoming Droid fighters,
Palpatine sees the sinking Cruiser.
PALPATINE:
Oh my, that’s a disater in the making.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
The Chancellor’s right, Anakin. If
Grievous’s ship hits the surface...
ANAKIN:
(finishing)
Massive casualties, I know.
