start an inquisition? I’ve opposed this war. What will you do if I become a suspect?
A NAKIN: That won’t happen. I won’t let it.
P ADMÉ: Oh, Anakin, I’m afraid.
ANAKIN takes PADMÉ in his arms.
A NAKIN: Have faith, my love. Everything will soon be set right. The Chancellor has given me a very important mission. The Separatists have gathered in the Mustafar system. I’m going there to end this war. Wait for me until I return . . . things will be different, I promise.
They kiss.
A NAKIN:
(continuing
) Please, wait for me.
P ADMÉ: I will.
ANAKIN gets into his Fighter as THREEPIO backs away.
C - 3PO :
(to Artoo
) Well, he is under a lot of stress, Artoo.
ARTOO beeps.
C - 3PO :
(continuing
) Take care, my little friend.
ARTOO BEEPS a good-bye, and the fighter takes off. PADMÉ is left alone on the veranda. She starts to cry. THREEPIO comes up to her.
C - 3PO :
(continuing
) My Lady, is there anything I might do?
P ADMÉ: No thank you, Threepio.
C - 3PO : A snack, perhaps?
P ADMÉ: No.
THREEPIO starts to move off.
C - 3PO : I feel so helpless.

163 EXT. ALDERAAN—STARCRUISER—SPACE
OBI-WAN’s ship docks with Bail Organa’s Starcruiser.
----
164 (127) INT. ALDERAAN—STARCRUISER—HALLWAY—DAY
The door to the main hallway slides open. OBI-WAN enters and is greeted by YODA and BAIL ORGANA. The three walk down the hallway.
B AIL O RGANA: You made it.
Y ODA: Master Kenobi, dark times are these. Good to see you, it is.
O BI- W AN: You were attacked by your Clones, also?
Y ODA: With the help of the Wookiees, barely escape, I did.
O BI- W AN: How many other Jedi managed to survive?
Y ODA: Heard from no one, have we.
B AIL O RGANA: I saw thousands of troops attack the Jedi Temple. That’s why I went looking for Yoda.
O BI- W AN: Have we had any contact from the Temple?
Y ODA: Received a coded retreat message, we have.
B AIL O RGANA: It requests all Jedi to return to the Temple. It says that the war is over . . .
O BI- W AN: Well, then we must go back! If there are other stragglers, they will fall into the trap and be killed.
B AIL O RGANA: It’s too dangerous to return.
Y ODA: Suggest dismantling the coded signal, do you?
O BI- W AN: Yes, Master. There is too much at stake here, and we need a clearer picture of what has happened.
Y ODA: I agree. In a dark place we find ourselves . . . a little more knowledge might light our way.

165 EXT. MUSTAFAR—LAVA FIELDS—DAY
Workers move across the lava beds, gathering the magma. A column of aliens riding giant MUSTAFAR FLEAS marches forward.
----
166 INT. MUSTAFAR—MAIN CONTROL CENTER—DAY
A HOLOGRAM of DARTH SIDIOUS is in the center of the room. NUTE GUNRAY and the REST OF THE SEPARATIST COALITION watch SIDIOUS.
N UTE G UNRAY: The plan has gone as you had promised, My Lord.
D ARTH S IDIOUS: You have done well, Viceroy. When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you.
The hologram disappears.

167 INT. CRUISER—COCKPIT
The Republic Cruiser heads toward Coruscant. OBI-WAN, BAIL, YODA, and TWO PILOTS sit in the cockpit.
P ILOT: We are receiving a message from the Chancellor’s office, sir.
B AIL O RGANA: Send it through.
P ILOT: Yes, sir.
The PILOT pushes some buttons. MAS AMEDDA appears on screen.
M AS A MEDDA: Senator Organa . . . the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic requests your presence at a special session of Congress.
B AIL O RGANA: Tell the Chancellor I will be there.
M AS A MEDDA: Very well. He will be expecting you.
MAS AMEDDA’s image disappears from the screen.
B AIL O RGANA: It could be a trap.
O BI- W AN: No, I don’t think so. The Chancellor will not be able to control the thousands of star systems without keeping the Senate intact.
Y ODA: If a special session of Congress there is, easier for us to enter the Jedi Temple it will be.

168 EXT. CORUSCANT—SENATE LANDING PLATFORM—LATE DAY
OBI-WAN, BAIL, and YODA land on Coruscant. The elevator door opens, and
A NAKIN: That won’t happen. I won’t let it.
