100% REAL: LEAKED STAR WARS EPISODE 3 SCREENPLAY

EXT - NABOO LANDING PLATFORM

Obie Wan's Jedi star fighter swooshes through the sky and lands on the

landing platform. Obie Wan steps out and shuts the hatch. He hesitates

for a moment, then strides up to PADME'S PALACE and knocks on the door.

He waits for a moment and then THREEPIO answers it.



				THREEPIO

	Obie Wan! This is a pleasant surprise! But I'm afraid that

	Master Anakin won't be so happy to see you.



				OBIE WAN

	Why not, Threepio? There was a time when I was like his brother.



				THREEPIO

	The master's heart has hardened. It seems that he is of two 

	minds these days.



				OBIE WAN

	This disturbs me. Tell me, Threepio, were you always gold?



				TREEPIO

	No Obie Wan, my Master painted me gold after I helped him

	on the planet of evil bug creatures. It is the highest honor

	that a droid can receive.



				OBIE WAN

	I see. Now be a good droid and summon your master.



				THREEPIO

	Okay Obie Wan, but it would be wise if you waited on the porch.



				OBIE WAN

	Very well.



Threepio walks into the palace, and Obie Wan sits on a wicker chair on

the veranda. He looks into the sunset wistfully as he waits. The screen

gets wobbly and a montage of his good times with Anakin is shown: him

tousling young Anakin’s hair and smiling, the two of them fighting big

bug monsters with their lightsabers, Anakin shooting an alien in the back

and then giving Obie Wan a high-five.



Anakin appears from within the Palace.



				ANAKIN

	You will find no welcome here, my former master.



				OBIE WAN

	But why, Anakin? We had so many good times.



				ANAKIN

	I am changing, master. I am becoming a man, and as such, my

	feelings and emotions are changing.



				OBIE WAN

	It is normal, Anakin. Your body is growing and your mind can't

	keep up. It happens to all boys at your age.



				ANAKIN

	SILENCE! I am not a boy. I am a man. More of a man than you

	will ever be. I even got Padme pregnant.



				OBIE WAN

	You got her pregnant? How?



				ANAKIN

	She is carrying my child.



A grim expression falls over Obie Wan's face. Padme walks out of the 

palace holding her belly.



				PADME

	Anakin, it is time- oh! Obie Wan!



				ANAKIN

	Silence. Tell Threepio to draw a bath. Obie Wan, my wife

	is now going to birth her child, and you shall not be a part

	of this process.



Anakin puts his hand on Padme's shoulder and leads her into the house.

Obie Wan sits with his head in his hands on the porch.



INT - NABOO PALACE



Padme is sitting on a lavish bed and holding her newborn infant son.

Anakin, fiery eyed, is pacing about the room. He goes to the window 

and looks outside.



				ANAKIN

	Obie Wan is still out there, why won't he go away?



				PADME

	Obie Wan is your friend, Anakin. He wants to be here with you

	during this troubled time.



				ANAKIN

	This is not a time of trouble! This is a time of glory! My

	newborn son and I shall rule over the galaxy with an iron fist!



				PADME

	What do you mean, rule over the galaxy?



				ANAKIN

	He shall be my willing slave, and I shall teach him of the

	force! We shall take control of the government and build an

	empire upon the suffering of those less powerful!



				PADME

	Anakin, you are scaring me. I don't like this idea.



				ANAKIN

	Do not call me by that name! Call me... (ANAKIN'S VOICE LOWERS

	AN OCTIVE AND HIS EYES FLASH RED) Darth... VADER!



				PADME

	NOOOOOOOOOO!



Padme rushes to the window and throws the baby out! Obie Wan, outside,

catches the baby with The Force.



				PADME

	(Yells out the window): OBIE WAN! TAKE THIS CHILD TO TATOOINE

	WHERE HE WILL BE SAFE!



				DARTH VADER

	You fool! It matters not. Get back in bed this instant, and I 

	will impregnate you again with an even better child!



EXT - PADME'S PALACE.



Obie Wan holds the baby in his arms and softly pets its forehead.



				OBIE WAN

	I will call you... Luke.
