in the courtyard of the main hanger. CAPTAIN PANAKA
and TWENTY TROOPS guard NUTE GUNRAY and RUNE HAAKO.
OBI-WAN, the QUEEN, and her HANDMAIDENS stand before

the Senate and explain all this.
CAPT. PANAKA : I think you can kiss your Trade franchise
goodbye.
The

PANAKA lead the VICEROY and HIS ASSISTANT toward the
ship. The GRAND CHANCELLOR PALPATINE and SEVERAL REPUBLIC

OTHER JEDI MASTERS.
The

INT.
TURRET ROOM - NABOO PALACE - LATE DAY
The
sun streams into the multi-windowed room at a low angle.
It is not quite sunset. YODA paces before OBI-WAN, who
is kneeling in the center of the room.
YODA
: Confer on you, the level of Jedi Knight the Coucil
does. But agree on you taking this boy as your Padawan
learner, I do not.
OBI-WAN : Qui-Gon believed in him. I believe in Qui-Gon.
YODA : The Chosen One the boy may be; nevertheless,
grave danger I fear in his training.
OBI-WAN : Master Yoda, Igave Qui-Gon my word. I will
train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council if
I must.
YODA : Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that,
you do not. Agree, the council does. Your apprentice,
young Skywalker will be.

QUI-GON's
body goes up in flames as the JEDI COUNCIL, the QUEEN,

ONE HUNDRED NABOO TROOPES, TWENTY OTHER JEDI, PALPATINE,
OBI-WAN (standing with ANAKIN), JAR JAR, BOSS NASS,
and TWENTY OTHER GUNGAN WARRIORS watch. There is a drum
roll that stops. Doves are released, and the body is
gone. ANAKIN looks to OBI-WAN.
OBI-WAN
: He is one with the Force, Anakin...You must let go.
ANAKIN : What will happen to me now?
OBI-WAN : I am your Master now. You will become a Jedi,
I promise.
To
one side, MACE WINDU turns to YODA.
MACE
WINDU : There is no doubt. The mysterious warrior was
a Sith.
YODA : Always two there are....no more...no less. A
master and an apprentice.
MACE WINDU : But which one was destroyed, the master
or the apprentice?
They
give each other a concerned look.
