Negotiations haven't started because the ambassadors aren't there?
How could that be true? I have assurances from the chancellor his ambassadors did arrive.
It must be... handiwork... negotiate... ambassadors.... nobody would...
Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the senate, a tragedy has occurred.
Which started right here with the taxation of trade routes.
And has now engulfed our entire planet in the oppression of the Trade Federation.
To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of Naboo,
who speaks on our behalf.
Enter the bureaucrat. The true rulers of the Republic.
And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add.
This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear.
Now they will elect a new chancellor, a strong chancellor, one who will not let our tragedy continue.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Your Majesty, if I am elected,
I promise to put an end to corruption."
I feel confident our situation will create a strong sympathy vote for us.
I will be chancellor.
I understand your concern, Your Majesty.
Unfortunately, the Trade Federation has possesion of our planet.
Go back? But, Your Majesty, be realistic. They, they'll force you to sign the treaty.
Please, Your Majesty, stay here, where it's safe.
We are indebted to you for your bravery, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
An you, young Skywalker. We will watch your career with great interest.
Your boldness has saved our people, Your Majesty. It's you who should be congratulated.
Together, we shall bring peace and prosperity to the Republic.
I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends.
More and more star systems are joining the seperatists.
I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two.
My negotiations will not fail.
Master Yoda. do you really think it will come to war?
Good.
Send them in. We will discuss this matter later.
Master Jedi, may I suggest the senator be placed under the protection of your graces.
That the situation is that serious? No, but I do, Senator.
I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you.
But prehaps someone you're familer with. An old friend... like Master Kenobi.
Do it for me, milady. Please? The thought of losing you... is unbearable.
I will talk with her.
Senator Amidala will not refuse an executive order.
I know her well enough to assure you of that.
And so, they've finally given you an assignment.
Your patience has paid off.
You don't need guidance, Anakin.
In time you will learn to trust your feelings.
Then you will be invincible.
I have said it many times:
You are the most gifted Jedi I have ever met.
I see you becomming the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin.
Even more powerful powerful than Master Yoda.
Count Dooku must have made a treaty with them.
But what senator would have the courage to propose such a radical ammendment?
Mmm.
It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling.
I love democracy. I love the Republic. The power you give me,
I will lay down when this crises has abated. And as my first act,
with this new authority I will create a grand army of the Republic
to counter the increasing threats of the seperatists.
