THE NEXT MORNING. THE GARRISSON IS COVERED WITH SLOGANS AND ANAKIN CLIMBS DOWN FROM A LADDER

 

Aah. Mmh! Aah... Finished! Aah.

Imperial Stormtrooper: Right. Now, don't do it again!

 

THE STORMTROOPERS STORM OFF, BUMPING INTO A MAN

 

Man with bag: Hey! Bloody Imperials...

 

AS ANAKIN LOOKS AT THE GRAFFITI, MORE STORMTROOPERS APPROACH. THEY LOOK AT THE WALLS, THEN AT ANAKIN. ANAKIN MAKES A RUN FOR IT. AFTER A DRAMTIC CHASE THROUGH THE MOS ESPA STREETS HE IS GRABBED BY PADME AN PULLED INTO THE SHADOWS.

 

 

CUT TO:

 

THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE PFT, HIDDEN IN THE SLAVE QUARTERS. THE GROUP IS HAVING ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS, DISCUSSING PLANS FOR A BREAK IN TO PALPATINE'S TOWN HOUSE. A HUGE HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTION OF THE HOUSE APPEARS AS THEY TALK

 

Biggs: We get in through the underground heating-system here ,up through an audience chamber here, and Palpatine's wife's bedroom is here. Having grabbed his wife, we inform Palpatine that she is in our custody, and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions?

Rebel I: What exactly are the demands?

Wedge: We're giving Palpatine two days to dismantle the entire apparatus of the Empire, and if he doesn't agree immediately, we execute her.

Moisture Farmer: Cut her head off?

Biggs: Cut all her bits off! Send them back on the hour, every hour! Show them we are not to be trifled with.

Wedge: And of course, we point out that they bear full responsibility when we chop her up, and that we shall not submit to blackmail.

All Rebels except Wedge: No blackmail!

Wedge: They bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had. And not just from us! From our fathers, and from our father's fathers.

Leia: And from our father's father's fathers.

Wedge: Yeah.
