STAR WARS
Episode III
FALL OF THE REPUBLIC

Over the course of the past two years, the CLONE WARS have slowly been ripping apart the government of the Galactic Republic. The Army of the Republic, under the watchful eye of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, has scored many victories, but those victories have come at a great price.

As the droid armies of the Trade Federation continue to suffer great defeats, Viceroy Nute Gunray has learned of Darth Sidious and his apprentice, and their plan to destroy the Republic. In fear of the Sith, the Trade Federation has begun a massive building operation known as the SPACEHUNTERS.

Meanwhile, Senator Padme Amidala Skywalker, has been sent to the peaceful world of Alderaan to be reunited with her husband, Anakin Skywalker and to take part in a conference of the Loyalist Committee

SCENE 1
-Alderaan comes into view as a small red vessel flies towards it. It is a ship from Coruscant
- Rumors had grown that the Trade Federation droid control ships, under the evil Nute Gunray, had mobilised again and there were fears that they could strike out again at the former Queen.
- Amidala is going to Alderaan to form what will be the foundations of the Rebel Alliance, in response to the decay of the Republic…
-Dormé, Amidala's loyal handmaiden, approaches the pregnant (8 months) Padmé, who stands behind the pilot
-Amidala ignored her loyal handmaiden and walked to the giant crystal mirror
that separated her from the cold space.
-Her sad eyes focused into 3 small fighters, very small indeed and lightly armed, they were some of the new Tie's type of star fighters for the Republic.
planet and put her hand over the glass.
Padme-"What are those for?” Dorme-"M'lady, the security scout-ships are to escort us to Aldera."
-Captain Typho steps in.

Typho-"M'Lady, a small fleet of ships has just been reported entering this sector. Most likely Federation ships."
Dorme-"I knew we should never have come here…"
Senator Amidala (to Typho)-“ Contact Chancellor Palpatine at once; tell him we are under attack. We have to get to Alderaan. Dorme, are you ready?”
-Dormé got up from where she had fallen, and brushed herself off
Dorme-"Yes m'lady, I'm always ready."
-Typho turns to the pilot
Typho-"Lie low…try not to attract attention…he turns to Padmé I'll contact the Supreme Chancellor at once, M'lady. Don't worry, he'll understand…He guaranteed to keep this mission secret, and assured us of a safe passage…He'll know what to do."
-In that same moment Amidala's ship passes below under a Trade Federation battle ship
-the turbolasers rage bolts of energy and some squadrons of brand new Republic Tie's can be seen near the planet atmosphere.
Padme-“This brings me bad memories from the Nabbo blockade.”
-the Tie's begin their massive attack at the Trade Federation Strike Force.
-The Republic TIE fighters fight back. he clone pilots are good and manage to get most of the Federation fighters.
-Several TIEs are destroyed
Typho-"Rear deflector shields up!!"
Dorme-"M'lady! Perhaps we best sit down!"
-She tried to steady her weight as the ship rocked to and fro attempting to dodge Federation ammunition.
Typho- "The emergency distress signal has been patched through to the Chancellor's office!"
-The starship continues to rock as heavy laser blasts rock the ship
Typho-“Our Shields are down, Senator!”
-a damaged Tie passes near Amidala's ship and the ship is shakes in a very violent form.
Pilot-“Two Victory class destroyers have approached the system from Delaya.”
Dorme {whispers} “Thanks for these savors, we are saved.”

SCENE 2
[shot-abandoned room]
- The only light comes in through a tiny window.
- A man covered in a hood comes up to an elderly man.
- These are the Dark Lords of the Sith: Master Darth Sidious and his apprentice Darth Tyranus
Dooku-"The Federation fleet attacked Senator Amidala's ship as I requested them to, My Lord."
-Darth Sidious took a look into his apprentice face only to subdue his satisfaction with words of regret:


Sidious-“Lord Tyranus, I didn’t requested you to attack Amidala's ship. This attack of yours can be harmful to my plans, as you might know only me and my associates know about this mission and you have ruined everything, the Senate will investigate everything and now I must accelerate our plans before the Jedi…”
-Looks again at Dooku
Sidious-“End it now.”
Dooku-“Yes my master.”
[shot-interior of Padme’s ship
-the crew breathed a sigh of relief as the gun fire came to a stop, -Senator Amidala turned to the captain
Padme- "What was that? What just happened?"
-The crew didn’t knew exactly what happened
-Amidala turned into Captain Typho whose face expresses desolation and fear not an answer.

[Erick Landrider]

SCENE 3
[shot-Aldera, capital of Alderaan]
[shot-inside the capital building]
-Amidala meets with Prince Bail Organa
Bail-"It is a relief to see you alive and well. After having learned of the Trade Federation fleet in the Alderaan system we tried to send out a message to you, Senator, but it seemed that there was too much interference…I fear the Federation, under Viceroy Gunray, is still determined to destroy you."
-Amidala takes a hard look into Bail Organa and expressed her disgust
Padme- “I already know that, Viceroy. The suspicious part is that only the Supreme Chancellor knew about this mission, is possible that...that...the Senate and the Executive power was infiltrated by the Confederation?”
Organa {more as a statement than a question}- “You are aware of the rumor that the Senate is under the influence of Darth Sidious.” {The mention of Darth Sidious's name causes a chill to sweep through the room}
-Amidala take a hard look into Organa but then she turns more worried and express her fears
Padme- “I already knew that before the attack but I fear I know more than that, Viceroy.”
Bail-"You do think Palpatine is working for the Republic, not for someone or something else??"
-Padme was going to answer when the wife of Bail Organa came running from the stone stairs next to the Great Hall.
-She was sweating and was followed by Captain Typho and some Alderaan Royal Guards.
Organa’s Wife-"M…M'lady…Senator Amidala…in your room…there…there's a… "
Padme-"A what?"
-Padme looked into her eyes and then she turned her face to Bail Organa's.
Organa’s Wife "Assassin droid."
-Padmé looked more calm and collected than she really felt at this news. Padme-"An… assassin droid?"
Bail-"M'Lady, the Chancellor may have asked you to remain here, but I don't know how that will be possible. We have to get you out of here."
-Senator Amidala looks at Senator Organa and then Dorme, an expression of great fear on her face.
-Suddenly the Hologram Communicator in the center of the room activated and the blue figure of Bail Antilles appeared to everyone saying a message that was hard to comprehend
Antillies-“Trade Federations ships have destroyed the Home Fleet... (image failing)...Aldera City under air attack...battle droids on the surface...bombard...”(image vanishes)
Organa's security officer: "Our communications have been cut!"
Suddenly remembering her portable holo, Padmé reaches into her cloak, taking the small metal device out, she quietly hands it to Organa,
Padme- {whispering}"Here, take this,"
-Bail Organa takes the holo from Senator Amidala and nods in understanding. -Captain Typho reenters the room.
Typho- “Senator Amidala, fighters from the Republic Army are on their way.”
-Padme, knowing that Alderaan has no weapons, nods faintly.
-Padme's temperament explodes and after dealing with the fact that there are no standing armies in Alderaan she went to the initiative and took some blasters from her belt
Padme-“We must escape!"
-Suddenly, a man comes bursting into the room.
-The man is none other than the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker
-Padme looks at Anakin and immediately understands that he felt her pain through the Force.
Anakin-“Padme. We have to get out of here.”
-Captain Typho interrupts the scene between the Jedi and the Senator.
Typho- "My lady, the Jedi Skywalker is right! Separatist troops are near Aldera City and a Separatists fleet is waiting us, it appears that this voyage was a well organized ambush to you, my lady.” Anakin-“There's a battle squadron ready to keep the Separatists busy while we escape.” {his voice softens noticeably} We have to go now, Padme. You're in serious danger.”
Padme- "Alright. Senator Organa, we try to get off world to Coruscant. You can plead to Palpatine and the Senate against the invasion, and try to enlist the help of the Jedi."
-Senator Organa's face hardens.
Bail-"Do you really think the Senate will do anything?”
Padme-"We have no other possible choice.”
-there is a death like silence

SCENE 4
Anakin-“Let’s go.”
-they head for the Royal Hangar, when the security alarms began to whistle and turned the room into a dark/red passage and several shots were fired from the sides of the small group of desperate people.

-Padmé pulls out her blaster from among her cloak's many folds and begins
shooting back
-Then the droids counterattacked and two Droidekas ran toward the group

Obi-Wan- “Anakin, Padme! Into the ship! We havn’t much time.”
-Dormé, firing at the same time, taps Padmé on the shoulder and motions her to go up the ramp of the ship
. -Padmé followed Dormé, firing into the crowd all the while, as another droideka squadron rounded the corner and began firing
-Anakin and Obi-Wan deflect the bolts from the droids
-Obi-Wan gets on to the ramp, and looks back to see Anakin still fighting the droids
Obi-Wan- “Anakin!”
-Anakin looks back and jumps up on to the ramp
-As the ship blasts away from Alderaan, the droid armies of the Separatists are seen engaged in a great battle with the Army of the Republic and the Clones -Anakin takes over the pilot seat and deftly flies the ship through the squadrons of the Separatists army.
-the ship is rocked by a blast from the droid fighters
Anakin-"We've been hit!! {looks back}Padme, are you al right
-Padme was red of fury and didn’t answer her own husband, she closed her eyes,
-Anakin tries to avoid the turbo lasers shots of a nearby Droid Control ship.
-Then the familiar shape of a Victory class destroyer, full of dread and power, passes near the cruiser

-The Star destroyer begins to bombard the white and semi-closed Separatist ship meanwhile the Tie's wiped the Droid starfighters.
[shot- the bridge on the lead Trade Federation flagship]
-Nute Gunray stands, watching angrily as the Victory-class Destroyer, followed by other Star Destroyers, bombard the Droid control ships
Gunray: "How is it that every time we try to assassinate that woman something, someone or somebody is always turning up to turn our plans against us!?”
- Gunray turns to his aides, Rune Haako and Gilarmos LibkathI
Haako-“Dispatch a fleet of those tiny new "Spacehunters" that we've taken delivery of from the Baktoid Armoury. With their cloaking devices, they'll never be seen!”

[shot-Gunray and Haako looking at a holographic projection of the hanger]
-Haako points out the human figure
Haako-"What is this!?"
-the image of the cloaked figure moves out of sight
Libkathl-“Move to another angle. He is likely a Republic spy.”
-a new angle comes up with the cloaked figure coming down a hall way towards the holo-camera
-The cloaked human lifted his hood, to reveal that it was no other than Darth Sidious.
Sidious-{cooly} "Good evening gentlemen"
-Haako headed to the alarm button but Gunray stopped him.
Gunray-“You are the cause of all this!.”
Sidious-“I do regret that you have to be trapped in this. It is such a terrible things that a worthless slime such as you will reach the status as you will.”

Gunray-"Who is it?"
-The insignificant Technician looked into Gunray's deep and black eyes filled with fear.
Technician-“Its says its personal, sir.”
-Gunray's fear causes him to have a sharp tongue
Gunray-“Then show it to me!!"
-the image of Count Dooku appeared in front Gunray to his surprise.
Gunray –“Count Dooku we have discovered that the Sith are behind this war, we are been controlled!
- the viceroy falls to his knees...being strangled by the Force gesture of Lord Tyranus.
-Dooku then turns to Rune Haako, who stands shivering and sacred
Dooku-"You are in control. The armies of the Federation are now yours. You will do as I say."
Rune Haako- “Yes, Your Honor.”
Dooku-“You will not be receiving any reinforcements. If you do not take Alderaan you will be destroyed.”
-The hologram disappears
Haako-“I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all!”

Technician-“The Sith have been using us, sir.”
-Hakko appears very angry
Haako-“I am not so naive, Lt. Qadxio. Prepare the troops. Aldera city must be taken before dawn!”

-Yoda takes a hard look on the Clone Trooper
Yoda-“Being over run our ships are. Win this battle we may not.”
Depa-“If the Separatists take over Kamino…{she closes her eyes looking to the future}…the Republic’s army may hold together, but our forces would be dangerously low.”
Yoda-“Even worse, if begin to produce Clones, the Separatists do.”
-one of the visible Star Destroyers is destroyed by in coming fire from Separatists

[Erick Landrider]

SCENE 7
[shot-on the cruiser being piloted by Anakin]
-Obi-Wan is looking into one of the scanners
Obi-Wan-“The extended range scanners are showing more Space Hunters heading this way. We could lose them if we drop put of hyperspace and landed on a planet. We should be able to reach Tatooine from here.”
Anakin (suddenly angry)-“I wouldn't go back to Tatooine. We can make it to Coruscant.”
Padme-“Anakin.”
Anakin-“No I won’t go back.”
Obi-Wan –“You can't sacrifice the faith of the Republic because your personal interests, that’s why you will never, became a Jedi Master! “
Anakin- “Shut up. Just shut up!! And leave me alone! You have no idea what you're talking about!”
- Padme puts her hand over Anakin's
- She looks at him with a look of unmistakable fear ... fear at what Anakin is becoming, for she remembers now the look on her husband's face right after his mother was killed.
Obi-Wan-“You fool, you Ignorant fool! Always trying to be the hero, your lack of vision is going to be your death as well your arrogance!
-Anakin, completely furious, shakes his wife's hand away
-Padme reacts, and there is to mistake -- she is angry with Anakin.
Padme- “Anakin, what do you think you're doing?”
Anakin-“Nothing you should yourself about. Go back and talk with Obi-Wan or something. Just get out of my face.”

-Anakin ignores her
-Padme walks to the back of the ****-pit
