out in pain. OBI-WAN is near her and softly speaks to her.
    O BI- W AN: Save your energy.
    P ADMÉ: I can’t!
    O BI- W AN: Don’t give up, Padmé. Don’t give up . . .

    103 (75) INT. CORUSCANT—PADMÉ’S APARTMENT—LIVING ROOM—DAY
    ANAKIN is in the living room, working. He sits on the couch where Obi-Wan was sitting. PADMÉ enters and crosses behind him.
    A NAKIN: I sense someone familiar . . . Obi-Wan’s been here, hasn’t he?
    P ADMÉ: He came by this morning.
    A NAKIN: What did he want?
    PADMÉ looks at him for a moment. ANAKIN seems tense.
    P ADMÉ: He’s worried about you.
    A NAKIN: You told him about us, didn’t you?
    She continues to walk to the bedroom, he follows.
    P ADMÉ: He’s your best friend, Anakin. He says you’re under a lot of stress.
    A NAKIN: And he’s not?
    P ADMÉ: You have been moody lately.
    A NAKIN: I’m not moody . . .
    P ADMÉ: Anakin! Don’t do this again.
    A NAKIN: I don’t know . . . I feel . . . lost.
    P ADMÉ: Lost? What do you mean? You’re always so sure of yourself. I don’t understand.
    A NAKIN: Obi-Wan and the Council don’t trust me.
    P ADMÉ: They trust you with their lives. Obi-Wan loves you as a son.
    A NAKIN: Something’s happening . . . I’m not the Jedi I should be. I am one of the most powerful Jedi, but I’m not satisfied . . . I want more, and I know I shouldn’t.
    P ADMÉ: You expect too much of yourself.
    They stop in front of the window in the bedroom. ANAKIN puts his hand on her belly.
    A NAKIN: I have found a way to save you.
    P ADMÉ: Save me?
    A NAKIN: From my nightmares.
    P ADMÉ: Is that what’s bothering you?
    A NAKIN: I won’t lose you, Padmé.
    P ADMÉ: I’m not going to die in childbirth, Annie. I promise you.
    A NAKIN: No, I promise you! I am becoming so powerful with my new knowledge of the Force, I will be able to keep you from dying.
    PADMÉ looks ANAKIN in the eye.
    P ADMÉ: You don’t need more power, Anakin. I believe you can protect me against anything, just as you are.
    They embrace and kiss.

    104 EXT. UTAPAU-SPACE
    OBI-WAN blasts out of the BLUE JEDI FIGHTER’s hyperspace ring and heads for the planet Utapau. The BLUE FIGHTER skims over the planet’s surface, flat except for a few giant sinkholes.
----
    105 (79) EXT. UTAPAU—LANDING PLATFORM—DAY

    OBI-WAN lands his ship on a Platform projecting out of the side of a giant sinkhole. All is quiet. A local administrator, TION MEDON, comes out to greet the ship. OBI-WAN climbs out of his Fighter as a SHORT GROUND CREW looks over his ship. On a ledge above the landing platform, GRIEVOUS’s BODYGUARDS watch as OBI-WAN talks to TION MEDON.
    T ION M EDON: Greetings, young Jedi. What brings you to our remote sanctuary?
    O BI- W AN: Unfortunately, the war.
    T ION M EDON: There is no war here unless you’ve brought it with you.
    O BI- W AN: With your kind permission, I should like some fuel and to use your city as a base as I search nearby systems for General Grievous.
    A GROUND CREW rushes out and refuels Obi-Wan’s Fighter.
    TION MEDON leans close to OBI-WAN and speaks quietly.
    T ION M EDON: He is here! We are being held hostage. They are watching us.
    O BI- W AN: I understand.
    T ION M EDON: The tenth level . . . thousands of Battle Droids . . .
    O BI- W AN: Tell your people to take shelter. If you have warriors, now is the time.

    OBI-WAN starts back toward his Starfighter as TION MEDON leaves the Landing Platform. GRIEVOUS’s BODYGUARDS retreat from the overhead platform. OBI-WAN climbs back into his BLUE JEDI FIGHTER. His Astro Unit (R4-G9) turns to him:
    O BI- W AN:
(continuing
) Geenine, take the Fighter back to the ship. I’m staying here. Tell Cody I’ve made contact.
    The little Astro Droid BEEPS a reply.
----
    106 (80) EXT. UTAPAU—OBSERVATION DECK—DAY
    On a high balcony, TION MEDON looks down on the landing platform. A few steps behind him stands one of GENERAL GRIEVOUS’s BODYGUARDS. They watch the canopy lower.
    T ION M EDON: I told you, all he
