The Phantom Menace


Me tusa chee pasa.

Are you an angel?

An angel. I heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moons of Iego, I think.

I listen to all the traders and star pilots who come through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.

Mmm-hmm. All my life.

Since I was very little. Three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us betting on the Podraces.

I'm a person, and my name is Anakin.

Hey!

Hit the nose.

Wouldn't have lasted long anyways if I wasn't so good at building things.

I was glad to meet you too.

A nova mu atafa.

Yippee!

Chesco, Sebulba. Chipoka oomen geesa. Me teesa radical fbombati chop chawa.

Ay, shobada day mouleera. Hi.

Your buddy here was about to be turned into orange goo. He picked a fight with a Dug. An especially dangerous Dug called Sebulba.

Here, you'll like these pallies. Here.

Do you have shelter?

Is it far?

You'll never reach the outskirts in time. Sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come one. I'll take you to my place.

Mom! Mom, I'm home.

These are my friends, Mom.

I'm building a droid. You wanna come see?

Come on, I'll show you 3PO.

Isn't he great? He's not finished yet.

You really like him? He's a protocol droid to help Mom. Watch.

Whoops. Yeah.

When the storm is over, I'll show you my racer. I'm building a Podracer.

I've been working on a scanner to try and locate mine.

And they blow you up! Boom!

Has anybody ever seen a Podrace?

I'm the only human who can do it.

You're a Jedi knight, aren't you?

I saw you're laser sword. Only Jedis carry that kind of weapon.

I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi.

I had a dream I was a Jedi. I came back here and freed all the slaves. Have you come to free us?

I think you have. Why else would you be here?

How did you end up out here in the outer rim?

I can help. I can fix anything.

I built a racer. It's the fastest ever. There's a big race tomorrow on Boonta Eve. You could enter my pod.

Watto doesn't know I've built it. You could make him think it was yours and get him to let me to pilot it for you.

But, Mom, I love it. The prize money would more than pay for the parts they need.

Mom, you say the biggest problem in this universe is that nobody helps each other.

It wasn't my fault. Really. Sebulba flashed me with his vents. I actually saved the Pod. Mostly.

That isn't the half of it. I'm entered in the Boonta race tomorrow.

Hey, Jar Jar.

Keep away from those energy binders. If your hand gets caught in the beam, it's gonna go numb for hours.

It will.

Yes, sir!

It's working! It's working!

There's so many. Do they all have a system of planets?

Has anyone been to 'em all?

I want to be the first one to see 'em all.

Ow!

What are you doing?

What'd he mean by that?

Well... not exactly.

Kitster's right. I will this time.

I will, Mom. I promise.

Cho skrunie dopat, sleemo.

Yep.

Whoa!

I will.

Oh, no! No!

Mom, I did it! Yeah!

Awww.

Awwww.

Yes! Mom, we sold the pod! Look at all the money we have!

What?!

Did you hear that?

You mean I get to come with you in your starship?

But I want to go. It's what I've always dreamed of doing. Can I go, Mom?

I wanna do it.

Yippee! What about Mom? Is she free too?

You're coming with us, aren't you, Mom?

I don't want things to change.

Well, 3PO, I've been freed and I'm going away in a starship.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish you, 3PO, give you coverings and all. I'm gonna miss working on you. You've been a great pal. I'll make sure Mom doesn't sell you or anything.

Bye.

I can't do it, Mom. I just can't do it.

Will I ever see you again?

I hope so. Yes. I guess.

I will come back and free you, Mom. I promise.

Qui-Gon, sir, wait! I'm tired!

Are you all right?

What are we gonna do about it?

Hi. You're a Jedi too? Pleased to meet you.

It's very cold.

You seem sad.

I made this for you. So you'd remember me. I carved it out of a japor snippet. It'll bring you good fortune.

I care for you, too, only I...

I'm on my way to the Jedi temple to start my training, I hope. I may never see her again, so I came to say good-bye.

Thank you, Your Highness.

A ship. A cup. A ship. A speeder.

Cold, sir.

No, sir.

I miss her.

What does that got to do with anything?

Qui-Gon, sir, I don't want to be a problem.

Master, sir, I heard Yoda talking about midi-chlorians. I've been wondering... what are midi-chlorians?

They live inside me?

Symbionts?

I don't understand.

Come on, R2.

And those two control the pitch?

All right! They're here!

Sure.

Hey, wait for me!

But I...

We gotta do something, R2.

I'm trying to! I don't know where the trigger is! Oops. Wrong one. Maybe it's this one. Nope. Wait. Here it is. Yeah!

Ah, it's on automatic pilot. Try to override it.

Look! There they are. That's where the autopilot's taking us.

This is tense. Whoa! R2, get us off that autopilot. It's gonna get us both killed. You did it, R2! Okay, let's go left. Go back? Qui-Gon told me to stay in this cockpit, so that's what I'm gonna do. I'll try spinning. That's a good trick. Whoa-ah! I know we're in trouble. Just hang on."

We're hit, R2! Aah! Aaah!

I'm trying to stop! I'm trying to stop!

Everything's overheated. Oops. This is not good.

Yes! We have power. Shields up. Take this! And this! Whoa! Oops.

Let's get outta here.

Now this is Podracing!

Whoooo! Whooo!

What will happen to me now?



Attack of the Clones


Not at all.

You fell into that nightmare, Master, and I rescued you, remember?

*laughs*

I haven't seen her in ten years, Master.

So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, f, for a senator, I mean.

We will find out who's trying to kill you, Padmé. I promise you.

I meant that in the interest of protecting her, Master, of course.

Why?

Why else do you think we were assigned to her if not to find the killer? Protection is a job for local security, not Jedi. It's overkill, Master. Investigation is implied in our mandate.

She hardly even recognized me, Jar Jar. I've thought about her every day since we parted, and... she's forgotten me completely.

Quiet as a tomb. I don't like just sitting here waiting for something to happen to her.

Ah, she covered the cameras. Heh, I don't think she liked me watching her.

She programmed R2 to warn us if there is an intruder.

I know, but we also want to catch this assassin, don't we, Master?

It was her idea. Don't worry. No harm will come to her. I can sense everything going on in that room. Trust me.

And yours are?

I don't sleep well anymore.

*nods* I don't know why I keep dreaming about her.

I'd much rather dream about Padmé. Just being around her again is... intoxicating.

She's not like the others in the Senate, Master.

Not another lecture. At least not on the economics of politics.

And besides, you're generalizing. The Chancellor doesn't appear to be corupt.

Well, I think he's a good man. I...

Stay here.

Oh, you know, Master... I couldn't find a speeder that I really liked...

...with the open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.

I thought I already did.

*laughs*

Sorry, Master. I forgot you don't like flying.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

"Master, if we keep this chase going any longer, that creep is going to end up deep-fried. And, personally, I'd very much like to find out who he is and who he's working for. This is a short cut... I think.

I'm deeply sorry, Master.

If you'll excuse me.

She went into the club, Master.

Sorry, Master.

Yes, Master.

Yes, Master.

I try, Master.

Don't say that, Master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.

I am trying.

I think he is a she and I think she is a changeling.

Where are you going, Master?

Easy. Jedi business. Go back to your drinks.

Who hired you? Tell us. Tell us now!

As the leader of the opposition, it will be very difficult to get senator Amidala to leave the capital.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

*nods*

Youre guidance more than my patience.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Don't worry. Now that the council has ordered an investigation, it won't take Master Obi-Wan long to find this bounty hunter.

Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us.

Master Obi-Wan manages not to see it. Don't get me wrong. Obi-Wan is a great mentor. As wise as Master Yoda and... as powerful as Master Windu. I am truly thankful to be his apprentice. In some ways... a lot of ways. I'm really ahead of him. I'm ready for the trials. But he feels that I'm too unpredictable. He won't let me move on.

It's worse! He's overly critical. He never listens. He... he doesn't understand. It's not fair!

*sigh* I know.

But I am grown up. You said it yourself.

Why not?

Sorry, milady.

Yes, Master.

It's time to go.

May the Force be with you, Master.

This is my first assignment on my own. I am too. Don't worry. We have R2 with us. *laughs*

Or be with the people that I love.

Attachment is forbidden. Possesion is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love is central to a Jedi's life. Oh, so you might say that we are encouraged to love.

Ah, you haven't changed a bit. You're exactly the way I remember you in my dreams.

When I first started my training, I was very home-sick, very lonly. But I always felt better when I thought about the palace. The way it shimmers in the sunlight, the way the air always smells of flowers.

Tell me. Did you dream of power and politics when you were a little girl?

The people you served thought you did a good job. I heard they even tried to amend the constitution so you could stay in office.

I agree with her. I think the Republic needs you. I'm glad that you chose to serve.

Hold on a minute.

Excuse me. I'm in charge of security here, milady.

Sorry, milady.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here, everything is soft and smooth.

I'm sorry.

Heh, sure you do. You just don't want to tell me.

Heh, they only work on the weak-minded.

All right, I get the picture. Whatever happened to him.

Maybe he was the smart one.

I like two or three. But I'm not really sure about one of them.

Heh, heh. I don't think the system works.

We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem, agree what's in the best interest of all the people, and then do it.

Well, then, they should be made to.

I don't know. Someone.

Of course not me.

*nods* Someone wise.

Well, if it works. ... Hmm!

Hmmm, no I'm not. I'd be much too frightened to tease a senator.

Whoa. Whoa! *laughs*

Oh, whoa!

*laughs*

And when I got to them, they went into aggressive negotiations. Thank you.

Uh, well, negotiations with a lightsaber.

If Master Obi-Wan caught me doing this, he'd be very grumpy.

From the moment I met you all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. *sigh* And now that I'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you... I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything that you ask. If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.

Anything is possible, Padmé. Listen to me.

Then you do feel something.

You're asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish that I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't.

Well, you know, it wouldn't have to be that way. We could keep it a secret.

No. You're right. It would destroy us.

*breathing hard* No. No. Mom, no. Don't. No. *wakes up, still looking scared* No.

Don't go.

Your presence is soothing.

Jedi don't have nightmares.

I saw my mother. She is suffering, Padmé. I saw her as clearly as I see you now. *sigh* She is in pain. I know I'm disobeying my mandate to protect you, Senator, but I have to go. I have to help her.

I'm sorry. I don't have a choice.

Wait right there.

Chut-chut, Watto. Dingmi chosa hopa.

Me boksa da Shmi Skywalker.

My mother.

You sold her?

Do you know where they are now?

I'd like to know.

3PO?

I've come to see my mother.

I'm Anakin Skywalker.

Is my mother here?

To find my mother.

You're gonna have to stay here. These are good people, Padmé. You'll be safe.

I won't be long.

Mom. Mom? Mom?

I'm here, Mom. You're safe.

I missed you.

Stay with me, Mom. Everything....

*gasps sorta Darth Vader like*

The shifter broke. Life seems so much simpler when you're fixing things. I'm good at fixing things. Always was. But I couldn't... Why'd she have to die? Why couldn't I save her? I know I could have!

Well, I should be! Someday, I will be... I will be the most powerful Jedi ever! I promise you. I will even learn to stop people from dying.

It's all Obi-Wan's fault! He's jealous! He's holding me back!

I... I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men. *shakes head* But the women, and the children too! They're like animals! And I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!

I'm a Jedi. I know I'm better than this. *starts crying*

I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom. I wasn't strong enough. But I promise I won't fail again. I miss you... so much!

Understood, Master.

If he's still alive.

He's like my father! But you heard Master Windu. He gave me strict orders to stay here!

That'll do.

Don't worry. I've given up trying to argue with you.

Wait.

Padmé!

Oh, not again. Obi-Wan's gonna kill me.

Don't be afraid.

What are you talking about?

You love me? I thought that we had decided not to fall in love. That we would be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives.

I retransmitted it just as you had requested, Master. Then we decided to come and rescue you.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

What about Padmé?

Whoa! Yah! Hyah! Hyah!

Jump!

Hyah! Hyah!

You call this a diplomatic solution?

Heh.

Aim right above the fuel cells!

It's Dooku! Shoot him down!

Follow him!

Padmé!

Put the ship down!

Lower the ship!

I don't care! Put this ship down!

I can't leave her!

She would do her duty.

You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.

No, I'm taking him now!

I am a slow learner.

Ahhh!
