The Phantom Menace: Obi-Wan Meets Anakin



Here we see Obi-Wan Kenobi first meet his bane.

INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - HALLWAY

ANAKIN and OBI-WAN rush into the hallway to find QUI-GON
collapsed on the floor opposite the entry. ARTOO is looking
over him. The JEDI is breathing hard, wet with sweat and
covered in dirt.

ANAKIN
Are you all right?

QUI-GON
I think so... that was a surpirse I
wont soon forget.

OBI-WAN
What was it?

QUI-GON
I don't know... but he was well
trained in the Jedi arts. My guess
is he was after the Queen...

ANAKIN
Do you think he'll follow us?

QUI-GON
We'll be safe enough once we're in
hyperspace, but I have no doubt he
knows our destination.

ANAKIN
What are we going to do about it?

OBI-WAN gives ANAKIN a "who are you?" look. ANAKIN returns
an innocent stare.

QUI-GON
We will be patient. Anakin Skywalker,
meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.

ANAKIN
Pleased to meet you. Wow! You're a
Jedi too?

OBI-WAN gives the boy a skeptical look.

INT. COCKPIT - SPACE

RIC OLIE pulls back on the hyperdrive. OBI-WAN, QUI-GON, and
ANAKIN watch.

QUI-GON
Let's hope this hyperdrive works and
Watto didn't get the last laugh.

The stars streak outside the cockpit window.

EXT. SPACE - NABOO SPACECRAFT (FX)

The ship streaks into hyperspace.
