Synopsis: The evil Trade Federation, led by Nute Gunray is planning to take over the peaceful world of Naboo. Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to confront the leaders. But not everything goes to plan. The two Jedi escape, and along with their new Gungan friend, Jar Jar Binks head to Naboo to warn Queen Amidala, but droids have already started to capture Naboo and the Queen is not safe there. Eventually, they land on Tatooine, where they become friends with a young boy known as Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon is curious about the boy, and sees a bright future for him. The group must now find a way of getting to Coruscant and to finally solve this trade dispute, but there is someone else hiding in the shadows. Are the Sith really extinct? Is the Queen really who she says she is? And what's so special about this young boy?

INT. OTOH GUNGA - CITY SQUARE

GUNGANS in the square scatter when they see the strange JEDI. Four GUARDS

armed with long electro-poles ride two-legged KAADUS into the square. The

GUARDS, led by CAPTAIN TARPALS, point their lethal poles at the dripping

trio.

JAR JAR :
Heyo-dalee, Cap'n Tarpals, Mesa back!

CAPT. TARPALS :
Noah gain, Jar Jar. Yousa goen tada Bosses. Yousa in big

dudu this time.

CAPT. TARPALS gives JAR JAR a slight zap with his power pole. JAR JAR jumps

and moves off, followed by the two JEDI.

JAR JAR :
How wude.

INT. OTOH GUNGA - HIGH TOWER BOARD ROOM

The Bosses' Board Room has bubble walls, with small lighted fish swimming

around outside like moving stars. A long circular judge's bench filled with

GUNGAN OFFICIALS dominates the room. OBI-WAN and QUI-GON stand facing BOSS

NASS, who sits on a bench higher than the others.

BOSS NASS :
Yousa cannot bees hair. Dis army of mackineeks up dare tis new

weesong!

QUI-GON :
That droid army is about to attack the Naboo. We must warn them.

BOSS NASS :
Wesa no like da Naboo! Un dey no like uss-ens. Da Naboo tink

day so smarty den us-ens. Day tink day brains so big.

OBI-WAN :
After those droids take control of the surface, they will come

here and take control of you.

BOSS NASS :
No, mesa no tink so. Mesa scant talkie witda Naboo, and no

nutten talkie it outlaunders. Dos mackineeks no comen here! Dey not know of

uss-en.

OBI-WAN :
You and the Naboo form a symbiont circle. What happens to noe of

you will affect the other. You must understand this.

BOSS NASS :
Wesa wish no nutten in yousa tings, outlaunder, and wesa no

BOSS NASS :
Wesa give yousa una bongo. Da speedest way tooda Naboo tis goen

through da core. Now go.

QUI-GON :
Thank you for your help. We go in peace.

QUI-GON and OBI-WAN turn to leave.

OBI-WAN :
Master, whats a bongo?

QUI-GON :
A transport, I hope.

The JEDI notice JAR JAR in chains to one side, waiting to hear his verdict.

QUI-GON stops. JAR JAR gives him a forlorn look.

JAR JAR :
Daza setten yous up. Goen through da planet core is bad bombin!!

QUI-GON :
Thank you, my friend.

JAR JAR :
Ahhh...any hep hair would be hot.

JAR JAR's soulful look is counterpointed by a sheepish grin.

OBI-WAN :
We are short of time, Master.

QUI-GON :
We'll need a navigator to get us through the planet's core. This

Gungan my be of help.

QUI-GON walks bact to BOSS NASS.
