The Plot Of Star Wars Episode Ii: Essay, Research Paper

Rather than write it all myself, Josh Griffin of TheForce.net has given me permission to use one of TFn’s updates (this one) called “The Story So Far.” Everything written in grey is from TFn, and everything in purple is stuff I’ve added. I have also added links to the official site’s “select images” so you can see how they fit in with the story.

As Episode II begins, we learn that Amidala has left the throne on Naboo and has been replaced by the newly elected Queen Jamillia (Select 9: Queen Jamillia). Now going by the name Padme Naberrie, she represents Naboo in the Galactic Senate. We also learn of a deal between Count Dooku and Jango Fett. In exchange for the right to clone an army out of Jango, Dooku gives Jango… a present. At one point, Senator Padme intercedes in a dispute between the Geonosians, the Kaminoans, the Commerce Guild, and the Intergalactic Bank Clan. She uncovers some corruption (created by Darth Sidious) and possible plans by the Neimodians to re-arm themselves. She voices this concern in the Senate. After becoming a blabber-mouth and speaking out against corruption, there is a failed assassination attempt by Zam Wesell in the Senate. Zam, I believe, has been hired by Senator Orn Free Taa (Select 3: Orn Free Taa). Padm? doesn’t think her personal bodyguard Captain Typho is enough, so she turns to the Jedi for help. Yoda and Mace Windu assign Anakin and Obi-Wan to protect her because they have done so in the past.Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padm?, and her two handmaidens – Cord? (Veronica Segura) and another (Rose Byrne) – later go to a night club called “Dex’s Diner.” (Select 6: Dex’s Diner) There is a scene in the club in which Elian Sleazebagno (Matt Doran) does some “trouble making” (not sure what – maybe he hits on Padm?, who knows.) During this scene Zam Wesell attempts to shoot Padm? (Select 14: Zam Wesell) but ends up killing Cord?. Obi-Wan and Anakin chase Zam (Select 1: Running Anakin) through the streets of Coruscant and catch up with her. They attempt to interrogate the bounty hunter to find out who she’s working for, but she is killed by a Kyber Dart shot from Jango Fett who was hiding in the shadows. At this point, the Jedi Council assigns Anakin Skywalker to accompany Padme back to Naboo where she’ll be safe. He takes her back to the planet and meets her parents, Jobal Naberrie and Ruwee Naberrie, as well as her sisters. Jar Jar and the other Gungans come along and also vow to protect Padme. Although it may seem too early in the film, Annie and Padm? are in *love*. Anakin and Padm? get married on Naboo at a small little wedding near a lake. After the wedding, they go on a private boat cruise up a river. I believe this is the point in the saga in which Luke and Leia are conceived – in other words, Anakin and Padm? do the nasty in the boat. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan goes on a quest with Plo Koon to find out more about who is behind the assassination attempt and the corruption in the Senate. He travels to a planet run by Count Dooku and discovers plans for a clone army to be created. He also tracks down Jango Fett and his young son Boba Fett. Turns out that Jango is being used as a template to make the clones. Obi-Wan soon finds himself in an all-too-familiar scene in which Plo Koon is fighting Jango Fett and Obi-Wan is unable to assist. Plo Koon is killed by Jango. Jango tries to flee and Obi-Wan chases after him. Just before Jango can get into his ship and take off, Obi-Wan catches up with him on the landing platform. Young Boba Fett, who has been waiting for his “father” (Select 17: Boba in Slave I), runs into Slave I while Obi-Wan and Jango get in a fight ouside the ship in the pouring rain (Select 10: Singing in the Rain *A Joke*). The battle ends in a stalemate and Jango gets away, but not before Obi-Wan takes a seeker pod out of his belt and hurls it towards the ship. He watches the ship fly away, then he contacts the Jedi Council to alert them of what’s going on.After hearing the news that Count Dooku – a former Jedi Master – has turned to the Dark Side, two characters – I think Mace Windu and Yoda – walk through a part of the Jedi Temple in which there are relics of famous Jedi in the history of the order. They are discussing Count Dooku as they walk down a dark corridor. They come to a section of the hall, which is impressively large, and has a statuette of Dooku and words inscribed at the bottom that praise him as a legendary Jedi Master. They begin to fear that their previous beliefs of the man were false and that he poses a major threat to them as a member of the Dark Side.Back on Naboo, Anakin has a vision of the future and sees his mother in great danger. At the same time, a second (third?) assasination attempt takes place on Padme. Anakin decides to take Padme into hiding back on Tatooine and find his mother. When they arrive, Anakin interrogates Watto cuz he wants to find out where the Lars farm is (Select 12: The Lars Moisture Farm). Watto is now old, unable to fly, and completely broke from betting on the podraces. (It is my contention that Anakin always knew his mother had been freed and married to Cliegg Lars. That is why he never returned to free her from slavery – he knew she was safe and no longer a slave. I have also been told that Cliegg Lars won Shmi’s freedom in a bet against Gardulla the Hutt, to whom Watto had sold Shmi shortly after Episode I because he was so broke. I’m not sure if this is true.) Watto tells Anakin where the Lars home is and he hurries out there with Padm?. After a quick conversation with Owen Lars and his girlfriend Beru Whitesun, Anakin dumps Padm? off and tells Owen to watch her (Select 2: Padm? at the Lars Farm). Anakin then runs out into the desert to where Owen says she has gone. When he finds her, she’s getting beaten to death by ____________ *I’ll tell you later*. She dies in his
