The Secret of The Ancient Order of The Whills

222 INT. POLIS MASSA-

OBSERVATION DOME-NIGHT

On the isolated asteroid of Polis Massa, YODA meditates.

YODA: 

Failed to stop the Sith Lord, I have. 

Still much to learn, there is ...

QUI -GON: (V.O.) 

Patience. You will have time. 

I did not.

When I became one with the Force I made a great discovery. 

With my training, you will be able to merge with The Force at will. 

Your physical self will fade away, but you will still retain your consciousness. 

You will become more powerful than any Sith.

YODA :

Eternal consciousness.

QUI-GON: (V.O.) 

The ability to defy oblivion can be achieved, but only for oneself. 

It was accomplished by a Shaman of the Whills. 

It is a state acquired through compassion, not greed.

YODA :

. . . to become one with The Force, and influence still have . . . 

A power greater than all, it is.

QUI-GON: (V.O.) 

You will learn to let go of everything. 

No attachment, no thought of self. 

No physical self.

YODA: 

A great Jedi Master, you have become, Qui-Gon Jinn. 

Your apprentice I gratefully become.

YODA thinks about this for a minute, then BAIL ORGANA enters the room and breaks his meditation.

BAIL ORGANA: 
Excuse me, Master Yoda. 
Obi-Wan Kenobi has made contact.

223 EXT. MUSTAFAR-LANDING PLATFORM-DAY

The CLONES have placed ANAKIN in a medical capsule. They float the wounded Sith Lord into the belly of the IMPERIAL CRUISER. 
DARTH SIDIOUS follows the capsule into the ship. 
The ship takes off.

224 EXT. POLIS MASSA-LANDING PLATFORM-NIGHT

OBI-WAN lands the Naboo Cruiser on the landing platform of the isolated post of Polis Massa. 

YODA and BAIL ORGANA, along with a FEW GROUND CREW, are waiting as the ramp lowers and OBI-WAN emerges, carrying the unconscious PADME in his arms, followed by ARTOO and THREEPIO.

BAIL ORGANA: 

We'll take her to the medical center, quickly.

225 EXT. LANDING PLATFORM-CORUSCANT-IMPERIAL REHAB CENTER-DAY

The shuttle lands. 
DARTH SIDIOUS and CLONE TROOPERS leave the shuttle. 
ANAKIN's body is carried along in a floating medical capsule.

226 INT. POLIS MASSA-MEDICAL CENTER-NIGHT

POLIS MEDICS work, on PADME in an operating theater. 
OBI-WAN and one of the MEDICAL DROIDS enter an observation room where BAIL and YODA are waiting.

MEDICAL DROID :

Medically, she is completely healthy. 

For reasons we can't explain, we are losing her.

OBI-WAN :

She's dying?

MEDICAL DROID :

We don't know why. 

She has lost the will to live. 

We need to operate quickly if we are to save the babies.

BAIL ORGANA :

Babies??!!

MEDICAL DROID :

She's carrying twins.

YODA :

Save them, we must. 

They are Our Last Hope.

The MEDICAL DROID rushes back to the operating room. 

ARTOO and THREEPIO watch, greatly puzzled. 

ARTOO BEEPS.

C-3PO :

It s some kind of reproductive process, I think.

227 INT. CORUSCANT-IMPERIAL REHAB CENTER-DAY

ANAKIN, in the medical capsule, is lifted onto a table in the Rehab Center. 

DROIDS go to work on him. 
ANAKIN has new legs and a new arm.

228 INT. POLIS MASSA-MEDICAL CENTER-NIGHT

The TWINS are being delivered as BAIL ORGANA, YODA, ARTOO, and THREEPIO watch. 

OBI-WAN is in the operating theater with PADME. 

He takes her hand.

OBI-WAN: 

Don't give up, Padme.

PADME winces from the pain. 

The MEDICAL DROID is holding the BABY.

MEDICAL DROID: 

It's a boy.

PADME: 

Luke . . .

PADME can only offer up a faint smile. 

She struggles to touch the baby on the forehead.

MEDICAL DROID :

... and a girl.

PADME :

. . . Leia.

R2-D2, THREEPIO and BAIL ORGANA watch from an adjoining space.

229 INT. CORUSCANT-IMPERIAL REHAB CENTER-DAY

VADER, dressed in his black body armor, lies on the table. 

Nose plugs are inserted and the mask drops from above, sealing tightly. 

The helmet is fitted and VADER begins breathing.

230 INT. POLIS MASSA-MEDICAL CENTER-NIGHT

OBI WAN leans over PADME and softly speaks to her.

OBI-WAN:

 You have twins, Padme 
They need you . . . hang on.

PADME: 

I can't . . .

PADME winces again and takes OBI-WAN's hand. 

She is holding Anakin's japor snippet.

OBI-WAN:

Save your energy.

PADME: 

Obi-Wan . . . there . . . is good in him. 

I know there is ... still . . .

A last gasp, and she dies. 
Obi-Wan studies the necklace.

231 INT. CORUSCANT-IMPERIAL REHAB CENTER-DAY

DARTH SIDIOUS hovers around the periphery of a group of MEDICAL DROIDS who are working on ANAKIN. 

DARTH SIDIOUS paces in the foreground. 

A DROID approaches the Dark Lord.

MEDICAL DROID :

My Lord, the construction is finished ... he lives.

DARTH SIDIOUS :

Good. Good.

The DROID moves back to the table where DARTH VADER lies. The table begins to move upright. 
DARTH SIDIOUS moves in next to DARTH VADER.

DARTH SIDIOUS: (continuing)
 Lord Vader, can you hear me?

DARTH VADER, with his dark mask and helmet, moves up into the frame until he is in a CLOSEUP.

DARTH VADER: 

Yes, My Master.

DARTH VADER looks around the room.

DARTH VADER: (continuing) 
Where is Padme? 

Is she safe, is she all right?

DARTH SIDIOUS moves closer to the half droid/half man.

DARTH SIDIOUS: 

I'm afraid she died. ... 

it seems in your anger, you killed her.

A LOW GROAN emanates from Vader's mask. 

Suddenly everything in the room begins to implode, including some of the DROIDS.

DARTH VADER: 

I couldn't have! She was alive! 

I felt her! She was alive! 

It's impossible! No!!!

VADER SCREAMS, breaks his bonds to the table, and steps forward, waving his hands, causing objects to fly around the room. 

SIDIOUS deflects the objects, but some of the DROIDS aren't so lucky. 

VADER'S PAINFUL SCREAMS echo throughout the Center.

232 EXT. NABOO-ALDERAAN STARCRUISER

BAIL ORGANA's Starcruiser approaches the city of Theed.

233 INT. ALDERAAN CRUISER-CONFERENCE ROOM

BAIL ORGANA, YODA, and OBI-WAN sit around a conference table.

YODA: 

Pregnant, she must still appear. Hidden, safe, the children must be kept.

OBI-WAN: 

We must take them somewhere the Sith will not sense their presence.

YODA: 

Split up, they should be.

BAIL ORGANA: 

My wife and I will take the girl. 

We've always talked of adopting a baby girl. 

She will be loved with us.

OBI-WAN: 

And what of the boy?

YODA: 

To Tatooine. 

To his family, send him.

OBI-WAN: 

I will take the child and watch over him. 

Master Yoda, do you think Anakin's twins will be able to defeat Darth Sidious?

YODA: 

Strong the Force runs, in the Skywalker line. 

Hope, we can . . . Done, it is. 

Until the time is right, disappear we will.

BAIL leaves the conference room. 

YODA stops OBI-WAN.

YODA: (continuing) 

Master Kenobi, wait a moment. In your solitude on Tatooine, training I have for you.

OBI-WAN: 
Training??

YODA: 

An old friend has learned the path to immortality.

OBI-WAN: 

Who?

YODA: 

One who has returned from the netherworld of the Force to train me . . . your old Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

OBI-WAN: 

Qui-Gon? But, how could he accomplish this?

YODA: 

The secret of the Ancient Order of the Whills, he studied. 

How to commune with him. 

I will teach you.

OBI-WAN: 

I will be able to talk with him?

YODA: 

How to join The Force, he will train you. 

Your consciousness you will retain, when one with the Force. 
Even your physical self, perhaps.
