CUT
TO: THE
IMPERIAL GARRISON. ANAKIN IS PAINTING GRAFFITI ON THE WALLS WHEN DARTH VADER APPROACHES
BEHIND HIM AND GRABS HIM BY THE SHOULDER. Vader:
What's this then? Imperials Event Doma? People call around Imperials they go to the house? Anakin:
It's Huttese. It says: "Imperials go home." Vader:
No, it doesn't. Anakin:
Ah... Vader:
What's Huttese for Imperials? Come on! Anakin:
Aih! Aah! Imperialon! Vader:
Goes like...? Anakin:
Lin? Vader:
Vocative plural of lin is...? Anakin:
Ani? Vader:
Imperiali...Event? What is event? Anakin:
"Go"! De... Vader:
Conjugate the verb "go"! Anakin:
Aah...eve, ev, is, it, evon, eva, evi. Vader:
So event is...? Anakin:
Aah, ehm...third person plural present indicative. Ehm..."they go". Vader:
But "Imperials go home" is an order, so you must use the...? Anakin:
Aih! Imperative! Vader:
Which is...? Anakin:
Ehm, oh...oh, ehm...i, i! Vader:
How many Imperials? Anakin:
Aah! it's...plural, plural! Evi! Evi! Vader:
Evi. Anakin:
Aah, ah. Vader:
Doma? Nominative? Anakin:
Ah, ah? Vader:
"Go home", this is motion towards, isn't it, boy? Anakin:
Ehm...ehm...dative sir? VADER
IGNITES HIS LIGHTSABRE AND HOLDS IT TO ANAKIN'S THROAT Anakin:
Aih! Ooh! Not that, not that, sir! Nah, aah! Ooh! The...accusative! Accusative! Aah!
Domumi, sir! Domumi! Aah,
ooh! Vader:
Except that domumi takes the...? Anakin:
Aah! The locative, sir! Aah! Vader:
Which is...? Anakin:
Domi! Aah, ah, aah... Vader:
Domi...um. Understand? Anakin:
Yes, sir! Vader:
Now, write that a hundred times! Anakin:
Yes, sir! Thank you, sir! Hail Palpatine, sir! Vader:
Hail Palpatine! And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. Anakin:
Oh, thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Hail Palpatine and everything, sir! CUT
TO: THE
NEXT MORNING. THE GARRISSON IS COVERED WITH SLOGANS AND ANAKIN CLIMBS DOWN FROM A LADDER Aah.
Mmh! Aah... Finished! Aah. Imperial
Stormtrooper: Right. Now, don't do it again! THE
STORMTROOPERS STORM OFF, BUMPING INTO A MAN Man
with bag: Hey! Bloody Imperials... AS
ANAKIN LOOKS AT THE GRAFFITI, MORE STORMTROOPERS APPROACH. THEY LOOK AT THE WALLS, THEN AT
ANAKIN. ANAKIN MAKES A RUN FOR IT. AFTER A DRAMTIC CHASE THROUGH THE MOS ESPA STREETS HE
IS GRABBED BY PADME AN PULLED INTO THE SHADOWS. CUT
TO: THE
HEADQUARTERS OF THE PFT, HIDDEN IN THE SLAVE QUARTERS. THE GROUP IS HAVING ONE OF THEIR
MEETINGS, DISCUSSING PLANS FOR A BREAK IN TO PALPATINE'S TOWN HOUSE. A HUGE HOLOGRAPHIC
PROJECTION OF THE HOUSE APPEARS AS THEY TALK
Biggs:
We get in through the underground heating-system here ,up through an audience chamber
here, and Palpatine's wife's bedroom is here. Having grabbed his wife, we inform Palpatine
that she is in our custody, and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions? Rebel
I: What exactly are the demands? Wedge:
We're giving Palpatine two days to dismantle the entire apparatus of the Empire, and if he
doesn't agree immediately, we execute her. Moisture
Farmer: Cut her head off? Biggs:
Cut all her bits off! Send them back on the hour, every hour! Show them we are not to be
trifled with. Wedge:
And of course, we point out that they bear full responsibility when we chop her up, and
that we shall not submit to blackmail. All
Rebels except Wedge: No blackmail! Wedge:
They bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had. And not just from us!
From our fathers, and from our father's fathers. Leia:
And from our father's father's fathers. Wedge:
Yeah. Leia:
And from our father's father's father's fathers. Wedge:
Yeah, all right, don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return? Rebel
I: The spaceport? Wedge:
What? Rebel
I: The spaceport. Wedge:
Oh. Yeah, yeah, they did give us that, ah, that's true, yeah. Rebel
II: And the sanitation. Leia:
Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Wedge. Remember what Mos Espa used to be like. Wedge:
Yeah, all right, I'll grant you the spaceport and sanitation, the two things the Imperials
have done. Moisture
Farmer: And the spacelanes. Wedge:
Oh, yeah, obviously the spacelanes. I mean the spacelanes go without saying, don't they?
But apart from the sanitation, the spaceport, and the spacelanes... Rebel
III: Irrigation. Rebel
I: Medicine. Rebel
IV: Education. Wedge:
Yeah, yeah, all right, fair enough. Rebel
V: And the wine. All
Rebels except Wedge: Oh, yeah! Right! Biggs:
Yeah! Yeah, that's something we'd really miss Wedge, if the Imperials left. Huh. Rebel
VI: Public baths. Leia:
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Wedge. Biggs:
Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it; they're the only ones who
could in a place like this. All
Rebels except Wedge: Hahaha...all right... Wedge:
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order,
irrigation, spacelanes, the fresh-water system and public health, what have the Imperials
ever done for us? Rebel
I: Brought peace? Wedge:
Oh, peace! Shut up! THERE
IS AN URGENT KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. EVERYONE HIDES AND THE MOISTURE FARMER HEADS TO THE
ENTRANCE Moisture
Farmer: I'm a poor man, my sight is poor, my legs are old and bent. Padme:
Its all right, Moisture Farmer. Moisture
Farmer: It's all clear. Padme:
Well, where's Wedge? THEY
ALL COME OUT OF HIDING Biggs:
Oh, Wedge! Wedge! Padme! Wedge:
What went wrong? Padme:
The first blow has been struck! Wedge:
Did he finish the slogan? Padme:
A hundred times! In letters ten foot high, all the way around the garrison! Wedge:
Oh, great! Great! We...we need doers in our movement Anakin, but...before you join us,
know this: there is not one of us here who would not gladly suffer death to rid this
galaxy of Imperials once and for all. Rebel
VII: Ehm...well, one. Wedge:
Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's one. But otherwise we're solid. Are you with us? Anakin:
Yes! Wedge:
From now on you shall be called "Anakin that is called Anakin". Fill him in
about the raid on the Palpatine's house, Francis. Biggs:
Right! This is the plan! CUT
TO: THE
STREETS OUTSIDE PALPATINE'S TOWN HOUSE. A SHUTTLE LANDS ON THE ROOF AND PALPATINE EXITS,
WALKING FOR THE ENTRANCE. THE REBELS OPEN A MANHOLE COVER TO GET INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM.
BIGGS NARRATES THE ACTION Biggs:
Now, this is the palace at Imperial Square. Our commando-unit will approach from Ronto
Street under cover of night, and make our way to the north-western main drain. If
questioned, we are sewage workers on our way to a conference. Wedge, our glorious leader
and founder of the PFT, will be co-ordinating the assailant at the drain entrance. Though
he himself will not be
taking part in any Mon Cal action, as he has a bad back. WEDGE
CLOSES THE SEWER ENTRANCE. ANAKIN LOOKS AT HIM WITH CONCERN Anakin:
Aren't you going to come with us? Wedge:
Solidarity, brother! Anakin:
Oh, yes...solidarity, Wedge. THE
REBELS MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE SEWER Biggs:
Once in the sewer, timing will be of the essence. There's an Imperial feast later in the
evening, so we must move fast. And don't wear your best sandals. Turning left here, we
enter the Sweet Yoda Memorial Sewer, and from there proceed directly to the main entrance.
This has just been re-tiled, so Mon Cals: careful with those weapons! We will now be
directly beneath Palpatine's
audience chamber itself. This is the moment for Ree-Yees to get out his prong. THE
AUDIENCE CHAMBER IS DIMLY LIT AND OPPRESIVE (LIKE THE THRONE ROOM IN RETURN OF THE JEDI).
A SMALL HATCH OPENS AND THE REBELS CLIMB OUT. THEY START TO SNEAK THROUGH THE HALLS BUT
BUMP INTO SOME OTHER REBELS WHICH ARE MON CALAMARIAN AND NOT OF THE PFT Mon
Cals' leader: Campaign for Free Mon Calamari! Biggs:
Oh, ehm...People's Front of Tatooine. Officials. Mon
Cals' leader: Oh. Biggs:
What's your group doing here? Mon
Cals' leader: We're going to kidnap Palpatine's wife, take her back, and issue demands. Biggs:
So are we. Mon
Cals' leader: What? Biggs:
That's our plan. Mon
Cals' leader: We were here first. Biggs:
What do you mean? Mon
Cals' leader: We thought of it first. Leia:
Oh, yeah? Mon
Cals' leader: Yeah. It's a couple of years ago. All
Rebels: Ohohoh... Mon
Cals' leader: We did! Biggs:
Okay, ohkokh, come on. You got all your demands worked out, eh? Mon
Cals' leader: Of course we have! Biggs:
What are they? Mon
Cals' leader: Well, I'm not telling you! Biggs:
Oh, come on! Tell me another one! Mon
Cals' leader: No use complaining! We thought of it before you! Leia:
Did not! Biggs:
You did not! Mon
Cals' leader: We did! Biggs:
You did not! Mon
Cals' leader: We did! Biggs:
You did not! All
Mon Cals and Rebels except Biggs and Mon Cal leader: Shh! Shh! Mon
Cals' leader: You bastards! We've been planning this for months! Biggs:
Well, tough titty for you, fish face! Aoh, ooh! THE
MON CAL POKES BIGGS IN THE EYE. A FIGHT ENSUES BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS AND ANAKIN TRIES TO
BREAK IT UP Anakin:
Brothers, brothers! We should be struggling together! Biggs:
We are! Oh! Anakin:
We mustn't fight each other! Surely, we should be united against the common enemy! EVERYONE
STOPS FIGHTING, LOOKING ABOUT WILDLY All
Mon Cals and Rebels except Anakin: The Tatooine People's Front?! Anakin:
No, no, the Imperials! All
Mon Cals and Rebels except Anakin: Oh, yeah...yeah. Yes. Yeah, he's right. THE
FIGHT STARTS AGAIN Mon
Cal I: Look out! Biggs:
Careful! Mon
Cals' leader: Right! Where were we? Biggs:
Ehm...you were going to punch him. Aah, eh. Mon
Cals' leader: Oh, yeah. All
Mon Cals and Rebels except Anakin: Arrgh! Anakin:
Brothers! Mon
Cal and Rebel: Ah, ah... THE
TWO GROUPS KNOCK THEMSELVES COLD. ONLY ANAKIN REMAINS AND HE TURNS TO BE CONFRONTED BY TWO
STORMTROOPERS. THEY BLAST HIM WITH WEAPONS ON 'STUN' Anakin:
Ouch! CUT
TO: THE
DETENTION CENTRE. ANAKIN IS DRAGGED INTO A CELL AND DUMPED WITH A MAN WHO IS CHAINED TO
THE WALL. THEN HE IS SPAT IN THE FACE BY THE UGLY GUARD Prisoner:
You lucky bastard! Anakin:
Who's that? Prisoner:
You lucky, lucky bastard! Anakin:
What? Prisoner:
The right little jailers pet, aren't we? Anakin:
What do you mean? Prisoner:
You must have slipped him a few credits, eh? Anakin:
Slipped him a few credits? You saw him spit in my face! Prisoner:
Oh, what wouldn't I give to be spat at in the face? I sometimes hang awake at night,
dreaming of being spat at in the face. Anakin:
Well, it's not exactly friendly, is it? They had me in binders! Prisoner:
Binders! Ohuuhoh... my idea of heaven is to be allowed to put in binders, just for a few
hours. They must think the twin suns shine out your arse, sonny! Anakin:
Oh, lay off me, I've had a hard time! Prisoner:
You've had a hard time!? I've been here five years, they only hung me the right way up
yesterday! So don't you come 'round... Anakin:
All right, all right! Prisoner:
They must think you're the Chosen One, or something... Anakin:
What will they do to me? Prisoner:
Oh, you'll probably get away with having a stake up your arse. Anakin:
Staked? Prisoner:
Yeah. First offence. Anakin:
Get away with staking?! It's... Prisoner:
Best thing the Imperials ever did for us. Anakin:
What? Prisoner:
Oh, yeah. If we didn't have staking, this galaxy would be in a right bloody mess. Anakin:
Guard! Prisoner:
Stick 'em up I say! Anakin:
Guard! Prisoner:
Stick some sense into 'em! THE
GUARD APPROACHES AT ANAKINS CRIES Jailer
I: Hahrkhm...what do you want? Anakin:
I want you to move me to another cell. Jailer
I: Hah! THE
GUARD SPITS IN HIS FACE Anakin:
Aehw! Prisoner:
Oh! Look at that! Bloody favouritism! Jailer
I: Shut up, you! Prisoner:
Sorry! Jailer
I: Huah! Huhuhu... Prisoner:
Now take my case. They hang me up here five years ago. Every night they take me down for
twenty minutes, then they hang me up again. Which I regard as very fair, in view of what
I've done. And if nothing else, it has taught me to respect the Imperials, and it has
taught me that you'll never get anywhere in this life, unless you are prepared to do a
fair day's work for a fair day's... Anakin:
Oh, shut up! THE
JAILER AND DARTH VADER APPROACHES THE CELL Jailer
I: Here. Vader:
Palpatine wants to see you! Anakin:
Me? Vader:
Come on! Anakin:
Palpatine? What does he want to see me for? Vader:
I think he wants to know which way up you want to be staked. Prisoner:
Oh, hahahaha, haha! Nice one, Vader! Like it, like it. Vader:
Shut up! Prisoner:
Right, right. Terrific race, the Imperials! Terrific. CUT

Palpatine: You call yourselves Impewial guards? Seize him! Seize him! Blow your noses and

TO: THE
MOS ESPA STREETS ANAKIN
IS CHASED THROUGH THE STREETS BY STORMTROOPERS. HE RUNS TO THE TOP OF A BUILDING WHERE HE
TOPPLES AND FALLS OFF. THE MILLENIUM FALCON IS ESCAPING TATOOINE AND HE FALLS DIRECTLY
INTO THE COCKPIT THE
FALCON BLASTS INTO SPACE. HAN SOLO SEES ANAKIN AND SHOUTS BUT CHEWBACCA POINTS OUT OF THE
VIEWPORT. A START DESTROYER IS GIVING CHASE. A SPACE BATTLE ENSUES THROUGH AN ASTEROID
FIELD WITH TIE FIGHTERS AND ANAKIN IS THROWN ABOUT THE COCKPIT. THE FALCON IS HIT, FALLS
BACK TO MOS ESPA AND CRASHES WITH A HUGE EXPLOSION. ANALKIN CLIMBS OUT OF THE WRECKAGE
UNSCATHED Astonished
bystander: Oh, you lucky bastard! ANAKIN
HEADS BACK TO THE PFT HEADQUARTERS. PROPHETS ARE GATHERED BELOW THE WINDOW OF THE
HEADQUARTERS Prophet
I: And the bantha shall be huge and black, and the eyes still of red, with the blood of
living creatures! And the whore of Corellia, shall ride forth on a red-headed serpent, and
throughout the land shall be a great rubbing of hands... Prophet
II: ...the demon shall carry a nine-bladed lightsabre! Nine-bladed! Not two, or five, or
seven, but nine, which he will wield on all wretched sinner-sinners, just like you sir,
there! And the horns shall be on the head... Yoda:
There shall in that time be rumours, of things going astray. Ehm...and there shall be a
great confusion as to where things really are. And nobody will really know where lie those
little things with a sort of metal base, that has an attachment. At this time, a friend
shall lose his friend's hydrospanner, and the young shall not know where lie the things
possessed by their fathers, that their fathers put there only just the night before, 'bout
eight o'clock. Prophet
IV: Yea, it is written in the Book of Windu: "That in that time shall the
turds"... ANAKIN

This bloke won't haggle! Burt: Won't haggle?! Anakin:
All right, do we have to? Vendor:
Now look: I want twenty for that. Anakin:
Ehm...I just gave you twenty. Vendor:
Now are you telling me that's not worth twenty credits? Anakin:
No. Vendor:
Look at it! Feel the quality, that's not any of you goat! Anakin:
All right, I'll give you nineteen then. Vendor:
No, no, no, come on, do it properly! Anakin:
What? Vendor:
Haggle properly, this isn't worth nineteen! Anakin:
Well, you just said it was worth twenty! Vendor:
Oh dear, oh dear. Come on: haggle! Anakin:
Uh, all right, I'll give you ten. Vendor:
That's more like it! Ten? Are you trying to insult me? Me, with a poor dying grandmother?
Ten!? Anakin:
All right, I'll give you eleven! Vendor:
Now you're getting it. Eleven!? Did I hear you right? Eleven? This cost me twelve, you
want to ruin me? Anakin:
Seventeen? Vendor:
No, no, no, no, "seventeen"! Anakin:
Eighteen? Vendor:
No, no, no, you've got to fourteen now. Anakin:
All right, I'll give you fourteen. Vendor:
Fourteen!? Are you joking? Anakin:
That's what you told me to say! Vendor:
Oh, dear... Anakin:
Oh, tell me what to say, please! Vendor:
Offer me fourteen. Anakin:
I'll give you fourteen. Vendor:
He's offering me fourteen for this! Anakin:

I just gave you twenty. Vendor:
Oh yeah, that's right, that's four I owe you, then. Anakin:
No, that's all right, that's fine, that's fine. Vendor:
No, hang on, I've got it here somewhere. Anakin:
No, it's all right, that's four for the racing helmet. Vendor:
Four? For this racing helmet? Four!? Look at it! It's worth ten if it's worth a credit! Anakin:
You just gave it to me for nothing! Vendor:
Yes, but it's worth ten. Anakin:
All right, all right! Vendor:
No, no, no, no, it's not worth ten, you're supposed to argue! "Ten for that, you must
be mad!" Oh, well, one born every
minute. CUT
