Narrator: There is unrest in the Galactic Senate. Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions to leave the Republic. The separatist movement, under the leadership of the mysterious Count Dooku, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and orderin the galaxy. Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to the Galactic Senate to vote on the critical issue of creating an army of the Republic to assist the overwhelmed Jedi....
CORUSCANT - SPACE
(Two yellow Naboo Fighters fly toward the amber city planet of of Coruscant, followed by a large Naboo Cruiser and one more Fighter. The Lieutenant and two security officers address Senator Amidala as the Cruiser nears the planet)
Lieutenant: Senator, we're making our final approach in to Coruscant.
Senator Amidala: Very good, Lieutenant.
CORUSCANT - CITY
(The ships skim across the surface of the city landscape. The sun glints off the chrome hulls of the sleek Naboo spacecraft as they navigate between the buildings of the capital planet. Two Naboo Fighters land on one leaf of a three-leaf-clover landing platform.
The Naboo Cruiser lands on the central leaf, and the third Fighter lands on the remaining platform. A small group of dignitaries waits to welcome the Senator. One of the fighter pilots jumps from the wing of his ship and removes his helmet. He is Captain Typho, Senator Amidala's Security Officer. He moves over to a woman pilot)
Typho: We made it. I guess I was wrong, there was no danger at all.
(The ramp lowers. Two Naboo guards appear. Senator Amidala, one handmaiden and four troopers descend the ramp. Amidala is more beautiful now than she was ten years earlier when, as Queen, she was freeing her people from the yoke of the Trade Federation. The dignitaries start to move forward. Senator Amidala reaches the foot of the ramp, when suddenly there is a blinding flash and a huge explosion.
The dignitaries and pilots are hurled to the ground as the starship is destroyed. Klaxons blare, alarms sound! Typho and the two escort pilots get up and run to where senator Amidala lies dying. Beyond, R2 D2 drops down from the Naboo Fighter and rolls toward the wreckage. The female escort pilot kneels by senator Amidala and takes off her helmet, revealing Padme Amidala)
Padme: Cordé...
(She gathers up her decoy double in her arms. Cordé's eyes open. She looks up at her)
Cordé: ...I'm so sorry, M'Lady... I'm... not sure I... I've failed you, Senator.
(Cordé dies. Padme hugs her)
Padme: No...!
Typho: M'Lady, you are still in danger here.
(Padme lowers Cordé to the ground. She gets up and looks around at the devastation. There are tears in her eyes)
Padme: I shouldn't have come back.
Typho: This vote is very important. You did your duty - Cordé did hers. Now come.
(Padme doesn't respond)
Typho: Senator Amidala, please!
(Padme turns. They walk away. R2 lets out a small whimper and rolls after them)
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
(Chancellor Palpatine sits behind his desk with two red-clad royal guards on either side of the door. Yoda, Plo Koon, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Mace Windu sit across from him. Behind them stand the Jedi Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offee)
