INT. WATTO'S JUNK SHOP - DAY
QUI-GON, JAR JAR, PADME, and ARTOO enter the dingy junk shop
and are greeted by WATTO, a pudgy blue alien who flies on
short little wings like a hummingbird.
WATTO (SUBTITLED)
Hi chuba da naga?
(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)
Peedenkel! 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...)
ANAKIN (SUBTITLED)
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 Gui-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.
JAR JAR makes a rude face to QUI-GON's back and sticks out
his long tongue.
ANAKIN sits on the counter, pretending to clean a part,
staring at PADME.
She is the most beautiful creaure he has ever seen in his
life. PADME is a little embarrassed by his stare, but she
musters up an amused smile.
Finally, he gets the courage to speak.
ANAKIN
Are you an angel?
PADME
What?
ANAKIN
An angel. I've heard the deep space
pilots talk about them. They live on
the Moons of Iego I thimk. They are
the most beautiful creatures in the
universe. They are good and kind,
and so pretty they make even the
most hardened spice pirate cry.
PADME looks at him, not knowing what to say. PADME : I've
never heard of angels.
ANAKIN
You must be one...maybe you just
don't know it.
PADME
You're a funny little boy. How do
you know so much?
ANAKIN
Since I was very little, three, I
think. My Mom and I were sold to
Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us,
betting on the Podraces, to Watto,
who's a lot better master than
Gardulla, I think.
PADME
You're... a slave?
ANAKIN looks at PADME defiantly.
ANAKIN
I am a person! My name is Anakin.
PADME
I'm sorry. I don't fully understand.
(looking around)
This is a strange world to me.
ANAKIN studies her intently.
ANAKIN
You are a strange girl to me.
JAR JAR pushes the nose on what appears to be a LITTLE DROID,
and it instantly comes to life, grows legs and arms, and
starts marching around, knocking over everything. JAR JAR
hold on but can't stop it.
ANAKIN
Hit the nose!
JAR JAR hits the nose, and the DROID collapses back into its
original state. ANAKIN and PADME laugh. ANAKIN watches PADME
straighten her hair.
EXT. WATTO'S JUNK YARD - BEHIND SHOP - DAY
WATTO reads a small portable monitor he is holding. He stands
before a hyperdrive.
WATTO
...Here it is...a T-14 hyperdrive
generator!! Thee in luck, I'm the
only one hereabouts who has one...but
thee might as well buy a new ship.
It would be cheaper, I think...Sying
of which, how's thee going to pay
for all this?
QUI-GON
I have 20,000 Republic dataries.
WATTO
Republic credits?!? Republic credits
are no good out here. I need something
more real...
QUI-GON
I don't have anything else.
(raising his hand))
But credits will do fine.
WATTO
No they won'ta.
QUI-GON, using his mind power, waves his hand again.
QUI-GON
Credits will do fine.
WATTO
No, they won'ta. What you think you're
some kinda Jedi, waving your hand
around like that? I'm a Toydarian.
Mind tricks don'ta work on me-only
money. No money, no parts! No deal!
And no one else has a T-14 hyperdrive,
I promise you that.
INT. WATTO'S JUNK SHOP - DAY
JAR JAR pulls a part out of a stack of parts to inspect it,
and they all come tumblimg down. He struggles to catch them,
only to knock more down.
ANAKIN and PADME are oblivious.
ANAKIN
...wouldn't have lasted long if I
weren't so good at fixing things.
I'm making my own droid...
QUI-GON hurries into the shop, followed by ARTOO.
QUI-GON
We're leaving.
JAR JAR follows QUI-GON. PADME gives ANAKIN a loving look.
PADME
I'm glad I met you, ...ah...
ANAKIN
...Anakin.
PADME
Anakin.
ANAKIN
Anakin Skywalker.
PADME
Padme Naberrie.
PADME turns, and ANAKIN looks sad as he watches her leave.
ANAKIN
I'm glad I met you too.
WATTO enters the junk yard, shaking his head.
WATTO (SUBTITLED)
Ootmians! Tinka me chasa hopoe ma
booty na nolia.
(Outlanders! They think because we
live so far from the center, we don't
know nothing.)
ANAKIN (SUBTITLED)
La lova num botaffa.
(They seemed nice to me.)
WATTO (SUBTITLED)
Fweepa niaga. Tolpa da bunky dunko.
(Clean the racks, then you can go
home.)
ANAKIN lets out a "yipee" and runs out the back.

EXT. TATOOINE - DESERT - NABOO SPACECRAFT - DAY (FX)
The Naboo spacecraft lands in the desert in a swirl of dust.
The spaceport of Mos Espa is seen in the distance.
EXT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - MAIN AREA
OBI-WAN is hoisting the hyperdrive out of a floor panel. JAR
JAR rushes up to him and falls to his knees.
JAR JAR
Obi-Wan, sire, pleeese, no mesa go!
OBI-WAN
Sorry, Qui-Gon's right. You'll make
things less obvious.
JAR JAR walks back to ARTOO in the hallway as QUI-GON (dressed
as a farmer) enters the main area.
OBI-WAN
The Hyperdrive generator is gone. We
will need a new one.
QUI-GON moves closer to OBI-WAN and speaks quietly to him.
QUI-GON
Don't let them send ant transmissions.
Be wary... I sense a disturbance in
the Force.
OBI-WAN
I fell it also, Master.
QUI-GON goes into the hallway to meet up with ARTOO and JAR
JAR. They head to the exit ramp.
EXT. TATOOINE - DESERT - SPACESHIP - DAY
They start their trek across the desert toward the city of
Mos Espa. In the distance, a strange looking caravan makes
its way toward the spaceport.
JAR JAR
Dis sun doen murder tada skin.
From the spaceship, Capt. Panaka and PADME run toward them.
CAPT. PANAKA
Wait!
QUI-GON stops as they catch up. PADME is dresses in rough
peasant's garb.
CAPT. PANAKA
Her Highness commands you to take
her handmaiden with you. She wishes
for her to observe the local...
QUI-GON
No more commands from Her Highness
today, Captain. This spaceport is
not going to be pleasant...
CAPT. PANAKA
The Queen wishes it. She is curious
about this planet.
PADME
I've been trained in defense... I
can take care of myself.
CAPT. PANAKA
Don't make me go back and tell her
you refuse.
QUI-GON
I don't have time to argue. But this
is not a good idea. Stay close to
me.
He gives PADME a stern look.
EXT. MOS ESPA - STREET - DAY
The little GROUP walks down the main street of Mos Espa.
They pass dangerous looking citizens of all types. PADME
looks around in awe at this exotic enviroment.
QUI-GON
...moisture farms for the most part,
but also a few indigenous tribes and
scavengers. The few spaceports like
this one are havens for those who do
not wish to be found...
PADME
....like us.
JAR JAR is in a constant state of panic.
ARTOO whistles along, with perfect confidence.
JAR JAR
Dissen berry berry bad.
(steps in ooze)
Ooooh...icky...icky...goo.
EXT. MOS ESPA - JUNK DEALER PLAZA - DAY
The GROUP comes to a little plaza surrounded by several junk

The Phantom Meance: The Trip to Tatooine
Here we find out what happens between running the blockade on Naboo and landing on Tatooine.

INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - QUEENS CHAMBERS
QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, Capt. Panaka, and the LITTLE BLUE DROID
stand before QUEEN AMIDALA and her THREE HANDMAIDENS, PADME,
EIRTAE and RABE.
CAPT. PANAKA
...An extremely well put together
little droid. Without a doubt, it
saved the ship, as well as our lives.
AMIDALA
It is to be commended... what is its
number?
The LITTLE BLUE DROID lets out a series of bleeps. Capt.
Panaka leans over and scrapes some dirt off of the side of
the DROID and read the number:
CAPT. PANAKA
R2-D2, Your Highness.
AMIDALA
Thank you, Artoo Detoo. You have
proven to be very loyal... Padme!
PADME bows before the QUEEN.
AMIDALA
Clean this droid up the best you
can. It deserves our gratitude...
(to Panaka)
Continue, Captain.
Capt. Panaka looks nervously to OBI-WAN and QUI-GON.
QUI-GON
Yor Highness, we are heading for a
remote planet called Tatooine. It is
a system far beyond the reach of the
Trade Federation. There we will be
able to make needed repairs, then
travel on to Coruscant.
CAPT. PANAKA
Your Highness, Tatooine is very
dangerous. It's controlled by an
alliance of gangs called the Hutts.
I do not agree with the Jedi on this.
QUI-GON
You must trust my judgement, Your
Highness.
AMIDALA and PADME exchange looks. PADME moves next to the
DROID.
INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - MAIN AREA
PADME sits in the Main Area, cleaning R2-D2, the brave little
Astra Droid. JAR JAR pops out of an open door.
JAR JAR
Hidoe!
Both PADME and ARTOO jump and let out a little SCREAM. The
Gungan is embarrassed that he frightened them.
JAR JAR
Sorry, nomeanen to scare yousa.
PADME
That's all right.
JAR JAR

INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - COCKPIT
OBI-WAN, QUI-GON, and Capt. Panaka watch over RIC OLIE'S

OLIE searches his scopes.
OBI-WAN

Excerpted from this site:

EXT. SPACE (FX)
The sleek spacecraft speeds away from the planet of Naboo
and heads for the deadly Federation blockade.
INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - COCKPIT
The PILOT, RIC OLIE, navigates toward the massive battleship,
QUI-GON and Capt. Panaka watch.
RIC OLIE
...our communications are still
jammed.
INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - DROID HOLD
JAR JAR is led into a low, cramped doorway by OBI-WAN.
OBI-WAN
Now stay here, and keep out of
trouble.
OBI-WAN closes the door. JAR JAR looks around and sees a
long row of five short, dome-topped ASTRO DROIDS (R-2 units).
The all look alike, except for thier paint color, and they
all seem to be shut down.
JAR JAR
Ello, boyos.
(no response)
Disa wanna longo trip...hey?
JAR JAR taps a bright red R-2 UNIT on the head, and its head
pops up a bit. He lets out a gasp as he lifts the head.
JAR JAR
Tis opens?...Oooops!
Many springs and things come flying out.
JAR JAR quickly closes it again, very embarrassed.
JAR JAR
Yoi! Just yoken!
EXT. SPACE BATTLE
The Naboo Spacecraft, surrounded by explosions, head even
closer to the massive Federation battle ships.
INT.NABOO SPACECRAFT - COCKPIT
RIC OLIE
There's the blockade, hang on.
Alarm sounds fill the Cockpit as Obi-Wan enters.
RIC OLIE
The shield generator's been hit. Our
deflector shields can't withstand
this. Power down... Hopefully the
repair droids can fix it.
INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - DROID HOLD
The lights go on, and all the Droids are activated. Droids
rush to an exterior air lock, except for the red one, who
runs into a wall. JAR JAR holds on for dear life.
One Little blue Astro Droid, who is especially dedicated,
lets out a loud screech as he passes JAR JAR, causing the
Gungan to jump.
The little Droid enters an air lock and is ejected onto the
exterior of the ship.
CAPT. PANAKA
Stay on course!
QUI-GON
Do you have a cloaking device?
CAPT. PANAKA
No, this is not a warship, we have
no weapons. We're a non- violent
people, that is why the Federation
was brave enough to attack us.
RIC OLIE
We won't make it. The shields are
gone.
EXT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - FEDERATION BATTLESHIP
The Droids pop onto the exterior of the Naboo Spacecraft;
the ship races across the surface of the massive Federation
Battleship, as its guns blast two Astro Droids to pieces.
OBI-WAN
We're losing droids fast.
CAPT. PANAKA
If they can't get those shield
generators fixed we will be sitting
ducks.
RIC OLIE
The shields are gone.
EXT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - ENGINES
The Federation Battleship blows away one more Atro Droid.
The blue Droid connects some wires, causing sparks to fly.
RIC OLIE
Powers back! That little droid did
it. He bypassed the main power drive.
Deflector shield up, at maximum.
The lone BLUE DROID finishes his repairs and goes back into
the ship. The Naboo spacecraft races away from the Federation
battleship.
RIC OLIE
There's not enough power to get us
to Coruscant...the hyperdrive is
leaking.
QUI-GON
We'll have to land somewhere to refuel
and repair the ship.
QUI-GON studies a star chart on a monitor.
OBI-WAN
Here, Master. Tatooine... It's small,
out of the way, poor... The Trade
Federation has no presence there.
CAPT. PANAKA
How can you be sure?
QUI-GON
It's controlled by the Hutts...
CAPT. PANAKA
The Hutts??
OBI-WAN
It's risky... but there's no
alternative.
CAPT. PANAKA
You can't take Her Royal Highness
there! The Hutts are gangsters... If
they discovered her...
QUI-GON
...It would be no different than if
we landed on a system controlled by
the Federation... except the Hutts
aren't looking for her, which gives
us an advantage.
CPATAIN PANAKA takes a deep breath in frustration.
EXT. SPACE - NABOO SPACECRAFT (FX)
The Naboo spacecraft races away.
INT. FEDERATION BATTLESHIP - CONFERENCE ROOM
NUTE and RUNE sit around a conference table with a hologram
of DARTH SIDIOUS.
NUTE
We control all the cities in the
North and are searching for any other
settlements...
DARTH SIDIOUS
Destroy all high-ranking officials,
Viceroy... slowly... quietly. And
Queen Amidala, has she signed the
treaty?
NUTE
She has disappeared, My Lord. One
Naboo cruiser got pat the blockade.
DARTH SIDIOUS
Viceroy, find her! I want that treaty
signed.
NUTE
My Lord, it's impossible to locate
the ship. It's out of our range.
DARTH SIDIOUS
...not for a Sith...
A second SITH LORD appears behind DARTH SIDIOUS.
DARTH SIDIOUS
...Viceroy, this is my apprentice.
Lord Maul. He will find your lost
ship.
NUTE
Yes, My Lord.
The hologram fades off.
NUTE
This is getting out of hand...now
there are two of them.
RUNE
We should not have made this bargain.
What will happen when the Jedi become
aware of these Sith Lords?

CPATAIN PANAKA takes a deep breath in frustration.
EXT. SPACE - NABOO SPACECRAFT (FX)
The Naboo spacecraft races away.
INT. FEDERATION BATTLESHIP - CONFERENCE ROOM
NUTE and RUNE sit around a conference table with a hologram
of DARTH SIDIOUS.
NUTE
We control all the cities in the
North and are searching for any other
settlements...
DARTH SIDIOUS
Destroy all high-ranking officials,
Viceroy... slowly... quietly. And
Queen Amidala, has she signed the
treaty?
NUTE
She has disappeared, My Lord. One
Naboo cruiser got pat the blockade.
DARTH SIDIOUS
Viceroy, find her! I want that treaty
signed.
NUTE
My Lord, it's impossible to locate
the ship. It's out of our range.
DARTH SIDIOUS
...not for a Sith...
A second SITH LORD appears behind DARTH SIDIOUS.
DARTH SIDIOUS
...Viceroy, this is my apprentice.
Lord Maul. He will find your lost
ship.
NUTE
Yes, My Lord.
The hologram fades off.
NUTE
This is getting out of hand...now
there are two of them.
RUNE
We should not have made this bargain.
What will happen when the Jedi become
aware of these Sith Lords?

The Phantom Menace: The Rescue of Amidala
This is a long one: The escape sequence from Naboo. It'll take me a while to read this one because I don't remember much of it.

EXT. THEED - MAIN ROAD INTO THEED - DAY (FX)
The long columns of the DROID ARMY move down the main road
leading to Theed, the Naboo capital.
EXT. THEED PLAZA - DAY (FX)
As the QUEEN watches helplessly from a window in the palace,
a transport carrying NUTE and RUNE lands in Theed Plaza.
They exit the transport.
NUTE
Ah, victory!
INT. NABOO LAKE - UNDERWATER - SUB (FX)
The little sub continue to propel itself toward the surface,
which is brightly lit.
JAR JAR
Wesa dude it!
EXT. THEED - ESTUARY - DAY
Paradise. Billowing clouds frame a romantic body of water.
There is a LOUD RUSH OF BUBBLES, and a small sub bobs to the
surface.
The current in the estuary begins to pull the sub backward
into a fast moving river. OBI-WAN switches off the two
remaining bubble canopies.
QUI-GON stands up to look around. JAR JAR lets out a sigh of
relief.
JAR JAR
Wesa safe now.
QUI-GON
Get this thing started.
JAR JAR
Dissen berry good. Hey?
OBI-WAN
What is it?
JAR JAR looks back to where they're drifting. He sees they
are headed for a huge waterfall.
JAR JAR
What!!?? Oie boie!
OBI-WAN tries to start the engine. The long props behind the
sub slowly begin to rotate. OBI-WAN struggles until finally,
a few feet short of the waterfall, the sub starts and is
able to generate enough power to stop drifting backward in
the powerful current. The sub slowly moves forward. In the
background, QUI-GON takes a cable out of his belt. The engine
coughs and dies. They start drifting backward again. JAR JAR
panics.
JAR JAR
Iyiiyi, wesa die'n here, hey!
QUI-GON shoots the thin cable, and it wraps itself around a
railing on the shore. The sub pulls the cable taut, and the
little craft hangs precariously over the edge of the
waterfall.
QUI-GON
Come on...
OBI-WAN climbs out of the sub and pulls himself along the
cable. QUI-GON starts in after him.
QUI-GON
Come on, Jar Jar.
JAR JAR
No! Too scary!
OBI-WAN
Get up here!
JAR JAR
No a mighty no!
JAR JAR looks back and sees he is hanging over the waterfall.
JAR JAR
Oie boie...mesa comen. Mesa comen!
JAR JAR starts to climb out of the sub. OBI-WAN is on shore
and helps to pull QUI-GON out of the water.
OBI-WAN
That was close.
BATTLE DROID 3B3 (O.S.)
Drop your weapons!
The TWO JEDI turn around to see a BATTLE DROID standing in
front of them.
BATTLE DROID 3B3
JAR JAR
Whoa!!!
EXT. THEED - PALACE - DAY
The waterfalls of Theed sparkle in the noonday sun.
INT. THEED - PALACE THRONE ROOM - DAY
QUEEN AMIDALA, SIO BIBBLE, and FIVE OF HER HANDMAIDENS
(EIRTAE, YANE, PADME, RABE, SACHE) are surrounded by TWENTY
DROIDS. Capt. Panaka and FOUR NABOO GUARDS are also held at
gunpoint. NUTE and RUNE stand in the middle of the room.
BIBBLE
...how will you explain this invasion
to the Senate?
NUTE
The Naboo and the Federation will
forge a treaty that will legitimize
our occupation here. I've been assured
it will be ratified by the Senate.
AMIDALA
I will not co-operate.
NUTE
Now, now, your Highness. You are not
going to like what we have in store
for your people. In time, their
suffering will persuade you to see
our point of view. Commander.
(OOM-9 steps forward)
Process them.
OOM-9
Yes, sir!
(turns to his sergeant)
Take them to Camp Four.
The SERGEANT marches the GROUP out of the throne room.
EXT. PALACE - PLAZA - DAY
QUEEN AMIDALA, PADME, EIRTA, YANE, RABE, SACHE, Capt. Panaka,
SIO BIBBLE,
and FOUR GUARDS are led out of the palace by ten BATTLE
DROIDS. The plaza is filled with tanks and BATTLE DROIDS,
which they pass on their way to the detention camp.
Unbeknownst to them, QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, and JAR JAR sneak
across on a walkway above the plaza and jump from a balcony
to begin an attack to rescue the QUEEN.
FOUR BATTLE DROIDS are instantly cut down. MORE DROIDS move
forward and are also cut down by the JEDIS' flashing
lightsabres until there is only the DROID SERGEANT left. The
SERGEANT starts to run but is pulled back to QUI-GON by the
Force, until finally he is dispatched by the JEDI.
JAR JAR
Yousa guys bombad!
QUEEN AMIDALA and the OTHERS are amazed. JAR JAR is getting
used to this. They move between two buildings.
QUI-GON
Your Highness, we are the Ambassadors,
for the Supreme Chancellor.
BIBBLE
Your negotiations seem to have failed,
Ambassador.
QUI-GON
The negotiations never took place.
Your Highness, we must make contact
with the republic.
Capt. Panaka steps forward.
CAPT. PANAKA
They've knocked out all our
communications.
QUI-GON
Do you have transports?
CAPT. PANAKA
In the main hanger. This way.
THEY disappear down an alleyway as the ALARMS are sounded
INT. CENTRAL HANGER - HALLWAY - DAY
Capt. Panaka cracks open a side door to the central hanger.
QUI-GON looks in over his shoulder. OBI-WAN, JAR JAR, and
the rest of the group are behind him. They see several Naboo
spacecraft guarded by about FIFTY BATTLE DROIDS. ALARMS can
be heard in the distance.
CAPT. PANAKA
There are too many of them.
QUI-GON
That won't be a problem.
(to Amidala)
Your Highness, under the
circumstances, Isuggest you come to
Coruscant with us.
AMIDALA
Thank you, Ambassador, but my place
is here with my people.
QUI-GON
They will kill you if you stay.
BIBBLE
They wouldn't dare.
CAPT. PANAKA
They need her to sign a treaty to
make this invasion of theirs legal.
They can't afford to kill her.
QUI-GON
The situation here is not what it
seems. There is something else behind
all this, Your Highness. There is no
logic in the Federation's move here.
My feelings tell me they will destroy
you.
BIBBLE
Please, Your Highness, reconsider.
Our only hope is for the Senate to
side with us... Senator Palpatine
will need your help.
CAPT. PANAKA
Getting past their blockade is
impossible, Your Highness.
Any attempt to escape will be
dangerous.
BIBBLE
Your Highness, I will stay here and
do what I can...They will have to
retain the Council of Governors in
order to maintain control. But you
must leave...
The QUEEN turns to PADME and EIRTAE.
AMIDALA
Either choice presents a great
risk...to all of us...
PADME
We are brave, Your Highness.
QUI-GON
If you are to leave, Your Highness,
it must be now.
AMIDALA
Then, I will plead our case before
the Senate.
(to Bibble)
Be careful, Governor.
INT. CENTRAL HANGER - DAY
The door opens to the main hanger. QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, JAR
JAR, Capt. Panaka, TWO GUARDS, and THREE HANDMAIDENS (PADME,
EIRTAE, RABE), followed by QUEEN AMIDALA, head for a sleek
chrome spacecraft. SIO BIBBLE, YANE and SACHE stay behind.
The HANDMAIDENS begin to cry.
CAPT. PANAKA
We need to free those pilots.
Capt. Panaka points to TWENTY GUARDS, GROUND CREW, and PILOTS
held in a corner by SIX BATTLE DROIDS.
OBI-WAN
I'll take care of that.
OBI-WAN heads toward the group of captured pilots.
QUI-GON and the QUEEN, Capt. Panaka, JAR JAR, and the rest
Of the GROUP approach the GUARDS at the ramp of the Naboo
craft.
GUARD DROID
Where are you going?
QUI-GON
I'm Ambassador for the Supreme
Chancellor, and I'm taking those
people to Coruscant.
DROID GUARD
You're under arrest!
The DROID GUARD draws his weapon, but before any of the DROIDS
can fire, they are cut down. OTHER GUARDS run to their aid.
OBI-WAN attacks the GUARDS around the PILOTS. QUI-GON stands,
fighting off DROIDS as the OTHERS rush on board the
spacecraft. OBI-WAN, the FREED PILOTS (including RIC OLIE),
GUARDS and GROUND CREW MEMBERS rush on board the ship. The
OTHER PILOTS and GUARDS race to SIO BIBBLR. After everyone
has made it onto the ship, QUI-GONjumps on board. ALARMS
sound. MORE DROIDS rush into the hanger and fire as the ship
takes off.
EXT. THEED - HANGER ENTRY - DAY (FX)
The ship exits the hanger. BATTLE DROIDS standing in the
hanger shoot at them.

Phantom Menace: Through the Underwater Core
As we continue our journey through the Phantom Menace Screenplay, we come to the Jedis' little adventure as they navigate the underwater "core" of the planet Naboo.
See below!
Script copyright George Lucas. Excertped from this site:
http://www.supershadow.com/star_wars/episode_1/the_phantom_menace/script.html
EXT. NABOO CITY - UNDERWATER - SUB (FX)
A strange little submarine propels itself away from the Otoh
Gunga, leaving the glow of the settlement in the distance.
INT. SUB COCKPIT - UNDERWATER
OBI-WAN in the co-pilots seat, JAR JAR guides the craft.
JAR JAR
Dis is nusen.
OBI-WAN
Master, why do you keep dragging
these pathetic life forms along with
us?...Here, take over.
JAR JAR
Hey, ho? Where wesa goen??
QUI-GON
You're the navigator.
JAR JAR
Yo dreamen mesa hopen...
QUI-GON
Just relax, the Force will guide
us...
JAR JAR
Ooooh, maxibig..."da Force"...Wellen,
dat smells stinkowiff.
JAR JAR veers the craft to the left and turns the lights on.
The coral vistas are grand, fantastic, and wonderous.
OBI-WAN
Why were you banished, Jar Jar?
JAR JAR
Tis a long tale, buta small part
wawdabe mesa... ooooh... aaaa...
clumsy.
OBI-WAN
They banished you because you're
clumsy?
As the little sub glides into the planet core, a large dark
shape begins to follow.
JAR JAR
Mesa cause-ed mabee one or duey lettal
bitty axadentes...yud-say boom da
gasser, un crash Der Bosses
heyblibber...den banished.
Suddenly there is a loud CRASH, and the little craft lurches
to one side.
QUI-GON looks around and sees a huge, lumimnous OPEE SEA
KILLER has hooked them with its long gooey tongue.
QUI-GON
Full speed ahead.
Instead of full ahead, JAR JAR jams the controls into reverse.
The sub flies into the mouth of the creature.
JAR JAR
Oooops.
OBI-WAN
Give me the controls.
OBI-WAN takes over the controls and the OPEE SEA KILLER
instantly releases the sub from its mouth.
JAR JAR
Wesa free!
As the sub zooms away they see a larger set of jaws, munching
on the hapless KILLER. The jaws belong to the incredible
SANDO AQUA MONSTER. The lights on the tiny sub begin to
flicker as they cruise deeper into the gloom.
QUI-GON
There's always a bigger fish.
INT. FEDERATION BATTLESHIP - BRIDGE
NUTE and RUNE stand before a hologram of DARTH SIDIOUS.
NUTE
The invasion is on schedule, My Lord.
DARTH SIDIOUS
Good. I have the Senate bogged down
in procedures. By the time this
incident comes up for a vote, they
will have no choice but to accept
your control of the system.
NUTE
The Queen has great faith the Senate
will side with her.
DARTH SIDIOUS
Queen Amidala is yound and naive.
You will find controlling her will
not be difficult. You have done well,
Viceroy.
NUTE
Thank you, My Lord.
DARTH SIDIOUS fades away.
RUNE
You didn't tell him about the missing
Jedi?
NUTE
No need to report that to him, until
we have something to report.
INT. SUB COCKPIT - UNDERWATER
Sparks are flying, and water is leaking into the cabin. The
sound of the power drive drops.
OBI-WAN
...we're losing power.
OBI-WAN is working with the sparking wires. JAR JAR panics.
QUI-GON
Stay calm. We're not in trouble yet.
JAR JAR
What yet? Monstairs out dare! Leak'n
in here, all'n sink'n, and nooooo
power! You nutsen! WHEN YOUSA TINK
WESA IN TROUBLE?!!!?
OBI-WAN
Power's back.
The lights flicker on, revealing an ugly COLO CLAW FISH right
in front of them.
JAR JAR
Monstairs back!
The large COLO CLAW FISH is surprised and rears back. The
sub turns around and speeds away.
JAR JAR
Wesa in trouble now??
QUI-GON
Relax.
QUI-GON puts his hand on JAR JAR's shoulder. JAR JAR relaxes
into a coma.
OBI-WAN
You overdid it.
The COLO CLAW FISH leaps after the fleeing sub as it shoots
out of the tunnel and into the waiting jaws of the SANDO
AQUA MONSTER.
OBI-WAN
This is not good!
JAR JAR regains consciousness.
JAR JAR
Wesa dead yet?? Oie Boie!
JAR JAR's eyes bulge, and he faints again. The sub narrowly
avoids the deadly teeth of the AQUA MONSTER. The COLO CLAW
FISH chasing them isn't so lucky. It is munched in half by
the larger predator. The little sub slips away.
QUI-GON
Head for that outcropping.
