	This is just a little script I wrote based on what I think will happen in the upcoming Episode III. WARNING: This script is not at all meant to be taken as "the real deal.". None of it is for sure, it's pure speculation. It also has NO SPOILERS since I'm staying spoiler free. STAR WARS : EPISODE III : BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE A Screenplay By ALEX CONNOR Based Upon a Story Created By GEORGE LUCAS Revised Final Draft November 24, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- FADE IN: TITLE CARD: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... EXT. SPACE A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the Main Title, followed by a rollup, which crawls into infinity. EPISODE III The Republic is engulfed in war. The adanced Storm Troopers are fighting a brutal war with the separatists which nears closer and closer to the Coruscant. All faith in the Jedi is gone as they are blamed for the Clone Wars and only a few participate in these wars and many Jedi have died in the Clone Wars. General Kenobi has been assigned to help lead a strike force on the separatist's home planet where they have been cornered. Kenobi has desperately tried to reach his former padawan Anakin Skywalker but has not been able to.... We PAN DOWN to reveal a RED PLANET in the distance. It is guarded by a group of TRADE FEDERATION BATTLESHIPS. A JEDI STARFIGHTER flies PAST CAMERA. It is followed by many, many TIE FIGHTERS. They are followed by 3 STAR DESTROYERS. INT. BRIDGE, LEAD STAR DESTROYER-SPACE Three figures, BAIL ORGANA and two Republic Officers, stand on the bridge looking out the Main Window. A STORM TROOPER approaches them. TROOPER Sir, General Kenobi wishes to speak with you. Bail walks over to Communications Panel. He leans over and holds down a button. BAIL Kenobi, can you hear me? Come in. INT. COCKPIT, KENOBI'S FIGHTER-SPACE Kenobi sits focused on what he's doing. BAIL (VO) General Kenobi...come in. KENOBI I hear you, Senator. BAIL (VO) What's wrong? KENOBI I have a bad feeling about this. This is a bad course of action. BAIL (VO) We've already talked about this in the Senate. it's our only hope. KENOBI I fear if we don't capture Dooku we'll never find him. He hide somewhere. BAIL (VO) Like I said, it's our only chance...How should we approach this? KENOBI When I say, we should attack fast and agressively. Give them more than they can handle. BAIL (VO) Alright. The troopers are following you orders. INT. BRIDGE, LEAD STAR DESTROYER-DAY Bail walks away from the communications panel. TROOPER Sir, a star destroyer is leaving the planet. BAIL What? The Trooper leads Bail to the side window where we see a Star Destroyer surrounded by Tie Fighters and one Jedi Starfighter leading them. TROOPER Our radar shows evidence that it came from the other side of the planet, circled around and came here. BAIL ...From the planet? TROOPER Yes, sir. The Star Destroyer shoots away. TROOPER Sir, it just entered hyperspace! INT. COCKPIT, KENOBI'S FIGHTER-SPACE KENOBI (TO ALL FIGHTERS) All stand by. I repeat: all stand by for orders. I obviously have not finished yet. I will continue to add more ABOUT everything week and a half. That's about 10 & 1/2 days. -----signature----- screenplay writer, STAR WARS obsessed

	I've recently decided to change the beginning of the script. Here is the new version. STAR WARS : EPISODE III : BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE A Screenplay By Alex Connor Based Upon a Story By George Lucas FINAL DRAFT November 25, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADE IN: TITLE CARD: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... EXT. SPACE A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the Main Title, followed by a rollup, which crawls into infinity. EPISODE III The CLONE WARS are ending. The reliable Clone Troopers are winning the battle and have cornered the separatists, lead by Count Dooku, on a single planet guarded heavily by the Trade Federation separatists. The Jedi have reluctantly participated in the Clone Wars by providing only a handful of experienced Jedi Knights to lead the battles. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had requested General Kenobi's help to lead the final strike against the separatists. To do this, General Kenobi has convinced the Jedi council to allow his former padawan, Anakin Skywalker, to help in this final battle.... We PAN DOWN to the RED PLANET of the separatists. It is guarded by TRADE FEDERATION BATTLESHIPS. We PAN ACROSS to find a STAR DESTROYER headed for the Battleship. They are firing heavily. INT. HALLWAY, TRADE FEDERATION BATTLESHIP We see a long hallway leading to the entrance to the Battleship hangar. The entrance is closed. Suddenly, many DROID TROOPERS come down the hall and stop before the entrance. They draw their blasters and get ready. A strange high pitch noise comes from behind the door. BOOM. The door blasts open revealing several CLONE TROOPERS with blasters. They immediately begin firing back and forth. The Clone Troopers quickly destroy the Droid Troopers. The Clone Troopers, except for two, rush on down the hallway. Two stay behind as a robed figure steps in to the hallway from the hangar. A hood covers the figures face as he looks at the damage. He takes away the hood to reveal that he is-OBI-WAN KENOBI or GENERAL KENOBI. He walks down the hallway, followed by the two Clone Troopers. KENOBI Send the message to Anakin. Tell him to attack. TROOPER (both) Yes, sir. The two Clone Troopers walk away. Kenobi continues through the hallways until he reach the several other Clone Troopers who are blasting at the bridge entrance door. The Clone Troopers see him and stop firing. TROOPER Sir, they have locked the entrance and closed the blast door. We cannot get through. KENOBI Stand back. Kenobi approaches the door and pulls out his LIGHTSABER. He ignites it and thrusts it through the door. The door begins to melt around the lightsaber. INT. BRIDGE, TRADE FEDERATION BATTLESHIP-SPACE The VICEROY and his AIDE look very nervous as they look at the lightsaber sticking threw their door. VICEROY Send a transmission to the other ships. Tell them to help! WORKER Sir, many starfighters are approaching from hyperspace! VICEROY What! EXT. SEPARATIST PLANET, SPACE Fifteen TIE FIGHTERs piloted by Clone Troopers head towards the Trade Federation Battleship. They are lead by a single JEDI STARFIGHTER piloted by ANAKIN SKYWALKER. INT. COCKPIT, ANAKIN'S FIGHTER-SPACE Anakin sits focused on the upcoming battle. ANAKIN All fighters, all fighters...I want Devils 2, 6, 8, and 9 to attack the left battleship. Devil 1, 3, 4, and 5 will attack the right battleship. The rest of you fall in behind me. EXT. SEPARATIST PLANET, SPACE The Tie Fighters take position and head to their assigned targets. P.S. If any one wants to see more please post so this story won't be pushed back into the very far corner of this forum. & More to come. -----signature----- screenplay writer, STAR WARS obsessed
