They head for a little junk shop that has a huge pile of broken spaceships stacked up behind it. INT. WATTO'S JUNK SHOP-DAY QUI-GON, JAR JAR, PADME, and ARTOO enter the dingy junk shop and are greeted by a pudgy blue alien who flies on short little wings like a humming bird. WATTO: (subtitled) Hi chuba da nago? (What do you want?) QUI-GON: I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian. WATTO: Ah yes, ah yes. Nubian. We have lots of that. What kinda junk? (subtitled) Peedunkel! Naba dee unko. (Boy, get in here! Now!) QUI-GON: My droid here has a readout of what I need. A disheveled boy, ANAKIN SKYWALKER, runs in from the junk yard. He is about nine years old, very dirty, and dressed in rags. WATTO raises a hand, and ANAKIN flinches. WATTO: (subtitled) Coona tee-tocky malia? (What took you so long?) ANAKIN: (subtitled) Mel tassa cho-passa... (I was cleaning the bin like you...) WATTO: (subtitled) Chut-Chut! Ganda doe wallya. (Never Mind! Watch the store.) Me dwana no bata. (I've got some selling to do here.) (to Qui-Gon) Soooo, let me take-a thee out back. Ni you'll find what you need. ARTOO and QUI-GON follow WATTO toward the junk yard, leaving JAR JAR with Padme and the young boy ANAKIN. JAR JAR picks up a gizmo, trying to figure out its purpose. Qui-Gon takes the part out of his hand and puts it back. QUI-GON: Don't touch anything.

Temple of the Jedi

INT. TEMPLE OF THE JEDI-COUNCIL CHAMBERS-DAY QUI-GON stands in a tall stately room. Twelve JEDI sit in a semi circle. OBI-WAN stands behind QUI-GON in the center of the room. The senior Jedi is MACE WINDU. To his left is an alien Jedi named KI-ADI-MUNDI, and to his right , the Jedi Master, YODA. QUI-GON: ...my only conclusion can be that it was a Sith Lord. MACE WINDU: A Sith Lord?!? KI-ADI: Impossible! The Sith have been extinct for a millenium. YODA: The very republic is threatened, if involved the Sith are. MACE WINDU: I do not believe they could have returned without us knowing. YODA: Hard to see, the dark side is. Discover who this assassin is, we must. KI-ADI: I sense he will reveal himself again. MACE WINDU: This attack was with purpose, that is clear, and I agree the Queen is the target. YODA: With this Naboo queen you must stay, Qui-Gon. Protect her. MACE WINDU: We will use all resources here to unravel this mystery and discover the identity of your attacker...May the Force be with you. YODA: May the Force be with you. OBI-WAN turns to leave, but QUI-GON continues to face the Council. YODA: (Cont'd) Master Qui-Gon, more to say have you? QUI-GON: With your permission, my Master. I have encountered a vergence in the Force. YODA: A vergence, you say? MACE WINDU: Located around a person? QUI-GON: A boy...his cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life form. It is possible he was conceived by the midi-chlorians. MACE WINDU: You're referring to the prophesy of the one who will bring balance to the Force...you believe it's this boy?? QUI-GON: I don't presume... YODA: But you do! Revealed your opinion is. QUI-GON: I request the boy be tested. The JEDI all look to one another. They nod and turn back to OBI-WAN and QUI-GON. YODA: Trained as a Jedi, you request for him? QUI-GON: Finding hin was the will of the Force...I have no doubt of that. There is too much happening here... MACE WINDU: Bring him before us, then. YODA: Tested he will be.

Galactic Senate

INT. MAIN ROTUNDA-GALACTIC SENATE-DAY The Senate chambers are huge. Thousands of Senators and their AIDES sitin tha circular assembly area. CHANCELLOR VALORUM sits in an elevated area in the center. Hundreds of AIDES and DROIDS hurry about. SENATOR PLAPATINE, QUEEN AMIDALA, EIRTAE, RABE, and CAPTAIN PANAKA sit in the Naboo congeressional box, which is actually a floating platform. PALPATINE leans over to the QUEEN. PALPATINE: If the Federation moves to defer the motion...Your Majesty, I beg of you to ask for a resolution to end this congressional session. AMIDALA: I wish I had your confidence in this, Senator. PALPATINE: You must force a new election for Supreme Chancellor...I promise you there are many who will support us...it is our best chance...Your Majesty, our only, chance. AMIDALA: You truly believe Chancellor Valorum will not bring our motion to a vote? PALPATINE: He is distracted...he is afraid. He will be of no help. VALORUM: The Chair recognizes the Senator from the sovereign system of Naboo. The Naboo congressional box floats into the center. PALPATINE: Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the Senate. A tragedy has occurred on our peaceful system of Naboo. We have become caught up in a dispute you're all well aware of, which began right here with the taxation of trade routes, and has now engulfed our entire planet in the oppression of the trade Federation. A second box rushes into the center of the Senate. It is filled with Federation trade barons led by LOTT DOD, the Senator for the Federation. LOTT DOD: This is outrageous! I object to the Senator's statements! VALORUM: The Chair does not recognize the Senator from the Trade Federation at this time. Please return to your station. LOTT DOD reluctantly moves back to his place. PALPATINE: To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, the recently elected ruler of the Naboo, to speak on our behalf. QUEEN AMIDALA stands and addresses the aassembly. There is some applause. AMIDALA: Honorable represenatives of the Republic, distinguished delegates, and Your Honor Supreme Chancellor Valorum. I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The NAboo system has been invaded by force. Invaded...against all the laws of the Republic by the Droid Armies of the Trade... LOTT DOD: I object! There is no proof. This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth. VALORUM: Overruled. LOTT DOD: Your Honor, you cannot allow us to be condemned without reasonable observation. It's against all the rules of procedure. A third box representing Mlastare concurs with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed...that is the law. VALORUM: The point... VALORUM confers with several of his AIDES and VICE CHAIRMAN MAS AMEDDA. Palpatine whispers something to the QUEEN. PALPATINE: Enter the bureaucrats, the true rulers of the Republic, and on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear. VALORUM: The point is concede...Section 523A takes precedence here. Queen Amidala of the Naboo, will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations? QUEEN AMIDALA is angry but remains composed. AMIDALA: (angrily) I will not defer...I have come before you to resolve this atack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee. If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a "vote of no confidence"...in Chancellor Valorum's leadership. VALORUM: What?...No! This causes a great stir in the assembly. A loud murmur crecendos into a roar of approval and jeers. CHANCELLOR VALORUM is stunned and stands speechless. His Vice Chair, MAS AMEDDA, takes over. MAS AMEDDA: Order! We shall have order... Things settle down a little. The Federation box settles next to AMIDALA. PRINCE BAIL ORGANA moves his box into the arena. BAIL ORGANA: Alderaan seconds the motion for a vote of no confidenc in Chancellor Valorum. MAS AMEDDA: The motion has been seconded by Bail Organa of Alderaan. MAS AMEDDA turns to the confused VALORUM, and whispers something to him. BAIL ORGANA: There must be no delays. The motion ison the floor and must be voted upon in this session. LOTT DOD: Th Trade Federation moves the motion be sent to the procedures committee for study. The assembly begins to chant. VALORUM talks to MAS AMEDDA. ASSEMBLY: Vote now! Vote now! PALPATINE stands next to AMIDALA. PLAPATINE: You see, Your Majesty, the tide is with us... Valorum will be voted out, I assure you, and they will elect in a new Chancellor, a strong Chancellor, one who will not let our tragedy continue... MAS AMEDDA: The Supreme Chancellor requests a recess. Tomorrow we will begin the vote. The Federation delegation is furious. VALORUM turns to PALPATINE. VALORUM: Palpatine, I thought you were my ally...my friend. You have betrayed me! How could you do this?
