Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Page #7
MACE WINDU:
(sternly)
Take a seat, young Skywalker.
ANAKIN:
(beat)
Forgive me, Master.
Anakin sits in one of the empty chairs. Everyone isembarrassed by his behavior.
Ki-Adi-Mundi, who appears as a hologram, speaks.
KI-ADI-MUNDI
We have surveyed all systems in theRepublic and have found no sign ofGeneral Grievous.
YODA:
Hiding in the Outer Rim, Grievous is. Theoutlying systems, you must sweep.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
It may take some time. We do not have
many ships to spare.
MACE WINDU:
We cannot take any more ships from thefront line. We’re spread too thin as itis.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
And yet, it would be fatal for us toallow the droid armies to regroup.
YODA:
Master Kenobi, our spies contact, youmust, and then wait.
KI-ADI-MUNDI
What about the droid attack on the
Wookiees?
MACE WINDU:
It is critical we send an attack groupthere, immediately!
39.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
He's right, that is a system we cannotafford to lose. It's the main navigationroute for the southwestern quadrant.
ANAKIN:
I know that system well. It would take
us little time to drive the droids off
that planet.
MACE WINDU:
Skywalker, your assignment is here with
the Chancellor, and Kenobi must find
General Grievous.
YODA:
Go, I will. Good relations with the
Wookiees, I have.
MACE WINDU:
It is settled then. Yoda will take a
battalion of clones to reinforce the
Wookiees on Kashyyyk. May the Force bewith us all.
INT. HALLWAY AND ALCOVE OUTSIDE COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Anakin and Obi-Wan walk through one of the massive JediTemple hallways. Anakin is furious with the Council’s
decision.
ANAKIN:
I knew it. Master Windu has alwaysopposed me. Can’t you see it?
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Not that argument again, Anakin. I’ve
told you time and time again to get ridof such foolishness. You’re angry andyou’re lashing out.
ANAKIN:
Then what kind of nonsense is this, putme on the Council and not make me a
Master? That's never been done in the
history of the Jedi.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Calm down, Anakin. You have been given agreat honor. To be on the Council at
your age... it's never happened before.
Listen to me, Anakin.
(MORE)
40.
OBI-WAN KENOBI (CONT'D)
The fact of the matter is you're tooclose to the Chancellor. The Council
doesn't like it when he interferes in
Jedi affairs.
ANAKIN:
I didn't ask to be put on the Council.
OBI-WAN
But it's what you wanted. Your
friendship seems to have paid off.
And regardless of how it happened,
Anakin, you find yourself in a delicatesituation.
ANAKIN:
You mean divided loyalties.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I warned you there was tension betweenthe Council and the Chancellor. I was
very clear.
ANAKIN:
The Council is only upset because I'm the
youngest to ever serve.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
No, it is not, Anakin. I worry when youspeak of jealousy and pride. Those are
not Jedi thoughts. They're dangerous,
dark thoughts.
ANAKIN:
Master, you of all people should haveconfidence in my abilities. I know where
my loyalties lie.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I certainly hope so.
ANAKIN:
I sense there's more to this talk than
you're saying.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Anakin, the only reason the Council hasapproved your appointment is because theChancellor trusts you.
ANAKIN:
And?
41.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Anakin, look, I am on your side. I
didn't want to see you put in thissituation.
ANAKIN:
(frustrated)
Just say what you have to say, Obi-Wan.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
(takes a deep breath)
The Council wants you to report on all ofthe Chancellor's dealings. They want toknow what he's up to.
ANAKIN:
They want me to spy on the Chancellor?
That's treason!
OBI-WAN KENOBI
We are at war, Anakin. The Jedi Council
is sworn to uphold the principles of theRepublic, even if the Chancellor does
not.
ANAKIN:
Why didn't the Council give me thisassignment when we were in session?
OBI-WAN KENOBI
This assignment is not to be on record.
The Council asked me to approach you onthis personally.
ANAKIN:
The Chancellor’s not a bad man, Obi-Wan.
He's watched out for me ever since I
arrived here.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
And that is precisely why you must helpus, Anakin. Our allegiance is to theSenate, not to its leader, who has
managed to stay in office long after histerm has expired.
ANAKIN:
The Senate demanded that he stay longer.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin.
Something is out of place.
42.
ANAKIN:
You're asking me to do something againstthe Jedi Code. Against the Republic,
against a mentor, and a friend. That's
what's out of place here. Why are youasking this of me?
OBI-WAN KENOBI
EXT. CORUSCANT - CLONE LANDING PLATFORM - DAY
A JEDI GUNSHIP heads for the huge Clone landing platform.
Yoda, Mace, and Obi-Wan ride in the GUNSHIP as it heads
for the Clone landing platform.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Anakin did not take to his assignmentwith much enthusiasm.
YODA:
Too much under the sway of theChancellor, he is. Much anger there isin him. Too much pride in his powers.
MACE WINDU:
It's very dangerous, putting themtogether. I don't think he can handle
it, and I don't trust him.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
He'll be all right. I trust Anakin with
my life.
MACE WINDU:
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
With all due respect, Master, is he notthe Chosen One? Is he not to destroy theSith and bring balance to the Force?
MACE WINDU:
So the prophecy says. But this notion
has filled Skywalker’s head with prideand delusion.
YODA:
A prophecy that misread, could have been.
43.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
He will not let me down. He never has.
YODA:
I hope right you are. May the Force bewith you.
The Gunship lands and Yoda exits the lowered ramp.
Mace and Obi-Wan stand and give him a brief bow then takeoff in the Gunship.
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - UTAPAU - NIGHT
General Grievous lies on a metal table as a SURGICAL
DROID replaces his severed mechanical limb.
In moments the repairs are done, Grievous rises from thetable and tries out his new arm. He grabs a lightsaber,
ignites it, rotates the new arm in every direction.
Grievous laughs his sinister laugh until it morphs intohis ever-present cough.
INT. GALAXIES OPERA HOUSE - CORUSCANT - NIGHT
Anakin lands his speeder and exits. He runs up thestairs at the Galaxies Opera House.
Anakin runs through the hallway and enters Palpatine'sbox, where Palpatine is sitting with Mas Amedda and Sly-
Moore, watching the Man Calamari Ballet "Squid Lake."
ANAKIN:
You wanted to see me, Chancellor.
PALPATINE:
Yes, Anakin! Come closer. I have good
news. Our Clone Intelligence Units havediscovered the location of General
Grievous. He is hiding in the Utapau
system.
ANAKIN:
At last, we'll be able to capture thatcoward and end this war.
PALPATINE:
I would worry about the collective wisdomof the Council if they didn't select youfor this assignment.
(MORE)
44.
PALPATINE (CONT'D)
You are the best choice by far, but, theycan't always be trusted to do the rightthing.
