42 - INT. JEDI TEMPLE, MAIN HALLWAY - LATE DAY From high above, light streams down from the lofty ceilings. OBI-WAN crosses the floor of the great hallway, heading for the Analysis Rooms. 43 - INT. JEDI TEMPLE, ANALYSIS CUBICLES - LATE DAY OBI-WAN walks past several glass cubicles where work is going on. He comes to an empty one and sits down in front of a console. A SP-4 ANALYSIS DROID comes to life. A tray slides out of the console. SP-4 Place the subject for analysis on the sensor tray, please. OBI-WAN puts the dart onto the tray, which retracts into the console. The DROID activates the system, and a screen lights up in front of OBI-WAN. OBI-WAN It’s a toxic dart. I need to know where it came from and who made it. SP-4 One moment, please. Diagrams and data appear on the screen, scrolling past at great speed. OBI-WAN watches as the screen goes blank. The tray slides out. SP-4 (cont’d) Markings cannot be identified. As you can see on your screen, subject weapon does not exist in any known culture. Probably self-made by a warrior not associated with any known society. Stand away from the sensor tray please. OBI-WAN Excuse me? Could you try again please? SP-4 Master Jedi, our records are very thorough. They cover eighty percent of the galaxy. If I can’t tell you where it came from, nobody can. OBI-WAN picks up the dart and looks at it, then looks to the DROID. OBI-WAN Thanks for your assistance! (to himself) I know who can identify this. 46 - EXT. JEDI TEMPLE - DAY The main entrance at the base of the huge Temple is bustling with activity. All sorts of JEDI are coming and going. 47 - INT. JEDI TEMPLE, ARCHIVES LIBRARY - DAY A bronze bust of Count Dooku, stands among a line of other busts of Jedi in the Archive Room. OBI-WAN stands in front it, studying the striking features of the chiseled face. ... JOCASTA NU Did you call for assistance? OBI-WAN (distracted in thought) Yes... yes, I did... JOCASTA NU He has a powerful face, doesn’t he? He was one of the most brilliant Jedi I have had the privilege of knowing. OBI-WAN I never understood why he quit. Only twenty Jedi have ever left the Order. JOCASTA NU (sighs) The Lost Twenty... Count Dooku was the most recent and the most painful. No one likes to talk about it. His leaving was a great loss to the Order. OBI-WAN What happened? JOCASTA NU Well, Count Dooku was always a bit out of step with the decisions of the Council... much like your old Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. OBI-WAN (surprised) Really? JOCASTA NU Oh, yes. They were alike in many ways. Very individual thinkers... idealists... JOCASTA NU gazes at the bust. JOCASTA NU (cont’d) He was always striving to become a more powerful Jedi. He wanted to be the best. With a lightsaber, in the old style of fencing, he had no match. His knowledge of the Force was... unique. In the end, I think he left because he lost faith in the Republic. He believed that politics were corrupt, and he felt the Jedi betrayed themselves by serving the politicians. He always had very high expectations of government. He disappeared for nine or ten years, then just showed up recently as the head of the separatist movement. OBI-WAN It’s very interesting. I’m not sure I completely understand. JOCASTA NU Well, I'm sure you didn't call me over here for a history lesson. Are you having a problem, Master Kenobi? ... 49 - INT. STARFREIGHTER, STEERAGE HOLD - DAY ... ANAKIN is sound asleep. The young Jedi seems to be having a nightmare. He is very restless. ANAKIN No, no, Mom, no... He is sweating. PADMÉ leans over resting her hand on his arm. He wakes up with a start, then realizes where he is. PADMÉ simply looks at him. He stares back, somewhat confused. ANAKIN (cont’d) What? PADMÉ You seemed to be having a nightmare. ANAKIN looks at PADMÉ a little more closely, trying to see if he has revealed any of his secrets. She hands him a bowl of mush and bread. PADMÉ (cont’d) Are you hungry? ANAKIN Yeah. PADMÉ takes the food from ARTOO and sets it on a make-shift table. ANAKIN rises and takes a seat as she places a bowl in front of him. ANAKIN (cont’d) Thanks. PADMÉ We went to lightspeed a while ago. ANAKIN looks into PADMÉ’S eyes. ANAKIN I look forward to seeing Naboo again. I’ve thought about it every day since I left. It’s by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen... PADMÉ is a little unnerved by his intense stare. PADMÉ It may not be as you remember it. Time changes perception. ANAKIN Sometimes it does... Sometimes for the better. ... ANAKIN You haven’t changed a bit. You’re exactly the way I remember you in my dreams. I doubt if Naboo has changed much either. PADMÉ It hasn’t... There is an awkward moment. PADMÉ (continuing; changing the subject) You were dreaming about your mother earlier, weren’t you? ANAKIN Yes... I left Tatooine so long ago, my memory of her is fading. I don’t want to lose it. Recently I’ve been seeing her in my dreams... vivid dreams... scary dreams. I worry about her. PADMÉ gives ANAKIN a sympathetic look.
