100% REAL: LEAKED STAR WARS EPISODE 3 SCREENPLAY PART 2

INT – PROTOTYPE TYE FIGHTER



DARTH CARNAGE mans the controls as Anakin paces moodily behind him.



					DARTH CARNAGE

		I do not understand why we must go to Coruscant, a

		hotbed of Jedi activity. We must keep a low profile,

		master.



					ANAKIN

		No not tell me what to do. If you must know, we are

		going there to rescue my son, Chappie, from the hands

		of a demented Jedi.



					DARTH CARNAGE

		A son? Why was Palpatine and my Master not made aware

		of this?



					ANAKIN

		Chappie is my own business. I must get him back from

		Obie Wan before he turns him into a fruit. He has named

		him Luke already.



					DARTH CARNAGE

		Obie Wan... I have met him. I fought with him briefly.

		He is quite strong, and strong and powerful with The

		Force.



					ANAKIN

		His only power is to hold me back!



					DARTH CARNAGE

		Yes, well he seemed powerful.



EXT – PALPATINE’S APARTMENT



The Prototype TYE Fighter touches down on the roof, and ANAKIN and DARTH CARNAGE 

hop out. PALPATINE storms up to meet them, full of pompous bluster.



					PALPATINE

		You fools! You cannot be seen together on Coruscant!

		You will blow this thing wide open!



					ANAKIN

		Where is Padme, master? I must see her.



					PALPATINE

		No! You must not! She must not know of our

		plans.



					ANAKIN

		She has something of mine that I must get back

		from her.



Palpatine looks quizzical, and then his face takes on a twisted smile.



					PALPATINE

		A... son? Oh Anakin, I’m so proud of you! Is he

		a boy or a girl?



					ANAKIN

                He is a boy, my lord. He is small and bald and fat, like a 

                normal baby. He must be less than a day old. He was taken 

                from me by Obie Wan and Padme.



					PALPATINE

		I will give you Padme’s address. Please wear normal clothes

		to avoid suspicion.



					ANAKIN

		Very well.



INT – APARTMENT COMPLEX – OUTSIDE PADME’S ROOM



DARTH CARNAGE and ANAKIN, wearing simple tan robes, stand outside nervously.



					ANAKIN

		You wait out here, Darth Carnage. You might scare her.



					DARTH CARNAGE

		I am a pretty scary looking guy!



					ANAKIN

		Okay, be cool.



Anakin knocks on Padme’s door. PADME opens it, holding young Leia.



					ANAKIN

		I am here for my child, Padme. Give him to

		me now.



					PADME

		Anakin! How did you find me!



Padme tries to slam the door, but Anakin puts his ankle in the door.



					ANAKIN

		The child! Give him to me!



					PADME

		This child? This is not our child, I am holding

		this child for a friend. See, she is a girl.



PADME opens the child’s drawers to reveal her genitalia.



					ANAKIN

		I see... but where is Chappie?



					PADME

				{annoyed}

		Luke is far away from here, and far away from

		you. I heard what you said about being called

		Darth.



					ANAKIN

		It is true, although I sense a presence here,

		it does not seem to be his. I will go now, but

		you have not seen the last of me!



					PADME

		Well you know what, I hope I have.



Anakin removes his ankle from the door and storms out, limping. Darth Carnage follows.
