INT – OBIE WAN’S HOUSE – NIGHT
OBIE WAN sits in a chair in the darkness. His head is in his hands, and he is brooding like a man who is forlorn. PADME paces into the room, and is startled to see him.
PADME
Obie Wan, you’re awake too? I couldn’t sleep.
OBIE WAN
This whole situation with Anakin has me very
upset, Padme. I don’t get it why he is being
the way he is being. Did I not train him?
PADME
Nonsense, he is a complicated man.
OBIE WAN
I fear that he is in danger. I fear that...
PADME
That what? What is it that you fear?
OBIE WAN
I fear for you and your child. I do not think
that you should of come here.
PADME
Obie Wan... there was not just one.
OBIE WAN
Of what do you speak of? Just one what?
PADME
There is another child, still inside me. Anakin
did not take well to the first one, so I left the
second one concealed within me.
OBIE WAN
I thought I detected an abnormality in your gait.
We must remove this child at once, for its time to
enter the world has passed once already. Come, the
jedi council can easily arrange such a proceeding.
PADME
I agree with you.
Obie Wan rises and takes her hand, and they put on their cloaks and leave.
INT – JEDI COUNCIL – DAY
PADME and OBIE WAN stand in the middle of the circle of Jedis. They are the same weird aliens as before. YODA and the BLACK GUY sit next to each other, their faces stern with contemplation. Padme has her newer child in her arms, swaddled in white robes.
YODA
This child, Padme. Anakin does not know of it
he does?
PADME
As far as I know, he is unaware.
YODA
Good, this is. For now this way we shall keep it
we will.
OBIE WAN
That is what we thought as well. Master... I have
other disturbing news about Anakin.
YODA
SILENCE! Tell me this news.
OBIE WAN
He called himself Darth Vader when he saw his
child. He said that it was his new name.
BLACK JEDI
Why did you not tell us of this sooner, Obie Wan?
This might turn out to be somehow important.
OBIE WAN
I did not want you to hastily condemn him because
of his new name, or anything. He is still my best
friend.
YODA
Foolish you are. Darth is the name of the Siths,
who as you know are like the Jedis but bad, they
are. And I thought that I was your best friend.
OBIE WAN
Oh... Master Yoda, you certainly are. I only
meant that it should go without saying. But do
you think that Anakin is truly a Sith?
PADME
He had evil in his eyes when he tried to take
the baby. I once loved him but now I love him and
fear him, which is complicated.
(Padme’s face strains; it is complicated)
BLACK GUY
Obie Wan, we have been monitoring Anakin through
Artoo’s eyes since last we met with him. He is back
at his estate on Naboo. His behavior has been erratic.
I suggest that we find a way to draw him out.
YODA
This was going to have been my suggestion have
been.
The Jedis, Anakin, Padme, Yoda, and the Black Jedi all exchange serious and worried glances with each other.
INT – ANAKIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT
We see ANAKIN’s sleeping face, his teeth clenched in obvious discomfort. He is in a dream! But a dream of what? The camera moves ever nearer to his sweating face so we can go in his head and find out. The scene blurs and we are transported to the dream...
INT – FOUNDRY
The scene is all wobbly, indicating that it is a dream. Nothing looks clear, but we can see that Anakin is fighting a dark figure next to a ledge. Anakin’s heel catches the edge, and we see him flail his arms and fall backward in slow motion into some really hot looking melted red fluid. It looks like lava but it’s probably not lava.
Anakin sits bolt upright, awakened from his dream.
ANAKIN
Padme! I...
Anakin’s face darkens as he realizes that she’s gone. His hand moves to the side of the bed where she would be, but he finds only the hard chassis of THREEPIO, who is deep in slumber. Anakin lies staring at the ceiling for a moment.
ANAKIN
Threepio... wake up. I am lonely.
Threepio stirs; we hear a whirring as his systems boot.
THREEPIO
Wh... What? Master, I was sleeping.
ANAKIN
Threepio, I had a terrible dream. I fell in some
melted fluid and I probably died. Who knows anymore?
THREEPIO
Master Skywalker, you miss Obie Wan don’t you?
ANAKIN
Silence! Leave this bed! This is not about Obie Wan!
And you shall call me Master Vader now, remember?
THREEPIO
Forgive me Master Vader, but my motor systems are
not fully back to their functions, for I was sleeping.
ANAKIN
We will see about that!
Anakin pushes Threepio out of the bed with his feet and he hits the floor with a loud clank, which awakens ARTOO, who is perched on a table in the corner. His lights blink and turn on.
ARTOO
Wheep whoop wheet?
ANAKIN
(SIGHS)
Nothing. Go back to sleep.
I originally had my doubts as to its authenticity, but when I noticed that the author obviously had a comically inadequate grasp of the English language, I realized at once that this must be an original by George Lucas or his anime alter ego.
