Near the end of the film, Anakin\/Vader arrives on Mustafar to tie up a few loose ends. By “loose ends” I mean killing off the Separatist Council by Sidious\/Palpatine’s command.<\/p>\n
Vader’s original murderous run through the rooms where the Separatists are hiding out appears to have been much more gruesome in print than what we saw in the film. There were heads rolling everywhere and lots of chaos.<\/p>\n Here are two excerpts from the published screenplay:<\/p>\n 178 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-DAY Then POGGLE THE LESSER loses his head; WAT TAMBOR, SHU MAI, and the REST OF THE SEPARATISTS run into the conference room.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n RUNE HAAKO RUNE is cut down. NUTE GUNRAY crawls out from under the table and opens the Main Door, allowing DESTROYER DROIDS to enter. WAT TAMBOR is cut down, along with SHU MAI. DESTROYER DROIDS appear in the doorway and blast away, causing total destruction. When the firing is over, ANAKIN is gone. Blown away? No. ANAKIN drops from the ceiling behind the TWO DROIDS and cuts them to pieces before they know what hit them.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I feel bad for poor Rune Haako. He was always a bit skeptical of this deal with the Sith and in the end, he knew he was right. His line of dialogue never made it into the film, however.<\/p>\n The scripted version seems to give mention to specific members of the council but in the finished film, we don’t see any special attention given to them at all, really. There’s some photo evidence, however, that Wat Tambor did have a special death, originally meant to be seen on screen.<\/p>\n Take note of the slight differences in dialogue in the Episode III<\/em> Comic Adaptation<\/a>, which was based on early versions of the script.<\/p>\n The part where Sidious asks Gunray if he’s shut down his droid armies never made it into the film and as you may have noticed, Anakin and Sidious have a similar conversation after the slaughter-fest.<\/p>\n You can catch a quick shot of Sidious and Nute being filmed in the Starwars.com web documentary series (#15 – The Creatures of Episode III<\/em>). This is also available on the Revenge of the Sith<\/em> DVD<\/a>. The characters are reciting the lines from the comic about shutting down the droid armies, which explains why they don’t exist (that we can tell) in the original trilogy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FIGHTING WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether it’s Padm\u00e9 or Obi-Wan talking to Anakin, the scenes in Episode III<\/em> that take place on Mustafar are loaded with fighting words. Padm\u00e9 and Anakin have a domestic spat and then Obi-Wan joins in and takes the floor for a while. As to be expected, there are a few lines of dialogue from the climactic lightsaber duel that got lost in the editing room. Thankfully, they can be found in the novel, comic, script and other versions of the story.<\/p>\n We’ll begin with the Anakin\/Padm\u00e9 argument on the landing platform. Here’s the scripted version of Anakin and Padm\u00e9’s spat as it appears in the published script:<\/p>\n 195 EXT. MUSTAFAR-LANDING PLATFORM-DAY ANAKIN They embrace.<\/em><\/p>\n PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN PADME turns around and. sees OBI-WAN standing in the doorway of the Naboo Cruiser.<\/em><\/p>\n PADME ANAKIN PADME ANAKIN reaches out, and PADME grabs her throat as she starts to choke.<\/em><\/p>\n OBI-WAN ANAKIN OBI-WAN ANAKIN releases his grip on the unconscious PADME and she crumples to the ground.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 200 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-DAY ANAKIN OBI-WAN OBI-WAN OBI-WAN stands looking at his former apprentice for a moment.<\/em><\/p>\n ANAKIN You have to love the Episode V<\/em> reference in the first set of dialogue. “Don’t make me destroy you…” is one of my favorite Vader lines. I love the way it’s delivered in that film. That’s why I’m slightly annoyed that it didn’t make it into Episode III<\/em>. It did make it into other publications like the comic, however.<\/p>\n As for the second passage, it’s nice but just mundane stuff. I guess I was hoping for more interesting dialogue during the duel.\u00a0 Pointing out each other’s weaknesses is a common thing when two enemies are duking it out, physically or verbally, in Star Wars. These little lines are missing in the final film, but their absence doesn’t ruin the scenes or destroy the flow at all.<\/p>\n OBI-WAN and ANAKIN continue the swordfight. They battle away, balancing on the tiny platform and puzzled DROID. ANAKIN, standing on the Droid, approaches OBI-WAN on the work platform.<\/em><\/p>\n OBI-WAN ANAKIN and OBI-WAN confront each other on the lava river.<\/em><\/p>\n ANAKIN OBI-WAN ANAKIN OBI-WAN ANAKIN ANAKIN jumps and flips onto OBI- WAN’s platform. The fighting continues again until OBI-WAN jumps toward the safety of the black sandy edge of the lava river. He yells at Anakin.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once again, there are minor differences here, but differences nonetheless. Unless you were sitting in the editing room at the time, you’ll have a hard time trying to figure out why some of these lines of dialogue were deleted. Sometimes there are very good and valid reasons and as always, it’s the director’s choice.<\/p>\n There’s one last item I should mention here. One of the more surprising aspects of Episode III<\/em> (to me, at least) was that while Obi-Wan defeated and physically disfigured Anakin\/Vader on Mustafar, he didn’t even show a hint of trying to redeem him afterward. He never tried to gather him and bring him back to the ship as he was lying there burning. There was never that clich\u00e9 “take my hand” moment and for that I applaud Lucas. There was a line of dialogue (present in the comic version) that even drove it home further. Obi-Wan tells Anakin he loved him, but he won’t help him<\/em>. In the finished film, the second half of the phrase is not heard. It’s clear that Obi-Wan has given up on his old friend and in what could be viewed as a “dark” side of Obi-Wan, he leaves his friend to die, smouldering on the surface of the planet. Now that’s some grim stuff, right there.<\/p>\n Along with the images, there’s a small scan from The Making of Revenge of the Sith<\/em><\/a> that shows what might be the ADR (dialogue overdubbing) sheet or some kind of document that tracks dialogue and you can see the full line is in there.\u00a0 In fact, the book makes mention that this line was purposely changed from present tense to past tense to convey the idea that Obi-Wan was talking to a dead person.<\/p>\n It’s worth mentioning that at a book signing, artist Iain McCaig mentioned that originally Anakin was supposed to fall into<\/em> the lava, and then was pulled out by droids. This never made it past the concept stage, however. Lucas decided to take a tamer route, perhaps for the kids’ sake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BROTHER ON BROTHER<\/strong><\/p>\n With a duel as large as the Obi-Wan\/Anakin duel at the end of Episode III<\/em>, there are bound to be countless bits and pieces that get lost in the editing room. Here, we’ll be talking about some of the more physical aspects of the duel. You know, the non-verbal stuff like manly fisticuffs, force using and what not.<\/p>\n Much of the following consists of small bits and pieces from the published script:<\/p>\n ANAKIN ignites his lightsaber. <\/em>ANAKIN lashes out at OBI-WAN, and they begin a ferocious sword fight. ANAKIN throws CONTAINERS at OBI-WAN using the Force. <\/em><\/p>\n They work their way off the landing platform and into the main entry hallway. ANAKIN kicks OBI-WAN, and OBI-WAN drops to a lower level.<\/em><\/p>\n ARTOO BEEPS his concern and rushes to the unconscious PADME’s aid.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There are two things to note in the above passage. One is the hurling of containers at Obi-Wan. This directly mirrors Vader’s hurling of objects at Luke in Episode V<\/em>. It would have been a nice visual link.<\/p>\n The other thing to note is the mention of R2-D2 coming to Padm\u00e9’s aid. There are a small series of shots that were deleted from the film that involve C-3PO and R2-D2 taking the injured Padm\u00e9 to her ship while she’s unconscious.<\/p>\n ANAKIN forces OBI-WAN back into the Conference Room where the quarters are much closer. Sparks fly everywhere. ANAKIN jumps onto the conference table. OBI-WAN slides across the table, knocking ANAKIN over. OBI-WAN grabs ANAKIN\u2019s lightsaber as he falls. OBI-WAN uses the Force to summon his dropped lightsaber. ANAKIN does the same.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Many fans noticed a few odd editing moments during the fight on top of the conference table. This duel is inter-cut with the Palpatine\/Yoda fight. This is an advantage for the editor because you can jump to a different point in time quite easily by changing location.<\/p>\n Before the conference table fight shots, the two duelists have just made their way into the room where the hologram table is. This is called the “Control Room” in the screenplay. In fact, at one point, Obi-Wan was supposed to jump up onto the hologram table.<\/p>\n The action is described: View screens EXPLODE around ANAKIN and OBI-WAN as they work their way into the Control Room. The fighting is intense. OBI-WAN is on the defensive as he jumps up on the table view screen in the center of the room. <\/em>After that is the above passage where they’re in the conference room.<\/p>\n The odd parts, for those who look closely, involve lightsabers and who’s holding whose in different parts of the scene. When we last saw Anakin and Obi-Wan, they were in the control room fighting. Then we cut to some Palpatine\/Yoda stuff and when we return to Mustafar, Anakin is grabbing Obi-Wan by the throat on top of the conference table in the conference room. Anakin has no lightsaber at this point. If you look even closer, Obi-Wan is holding his<\/em> saber for the first few shots, then magically he’s holding Anakin’s<\/em>.<\/p>\n So in the time between the edits, some of the above script passage must have taken place. They made their way into the conference room and continued fighting, Anakin lost his lightsaber and Obi-Wan used it for a while. In fact, the confusing text above gives us the impression that Obi-Wan grabs two sabers for a brief moment.<\/p>\n It looks like they dropped some of the lightsaber switching but didn’t bother trying to swap out the sabers from the original shoot. One could assume that there’s a mix of footage here from the original Sydney shoot and the re-shoots at a later date, but I don’t know for sure. These are quick shots so most people won’t notice the differences, but keen eyed fans sure will.<\/p>\n 204 EXT. MUSTAFAR – MAIN CONTROL CENTER BALCONY – DAY<\/strong> 205 EXT. MUSTAFAR – MAIN CONTROL CENTER BALCONY, PIPE ACROSS LAVA RIVER, MAIN COLLECTION PLANT – DAY 206 INT. MUSTAFAR – PIPE ACROSS LAVA RIVER – DAY<\/strong> As you know, the “tightrope-walking” scene is most definitely in the film, it’s just that some of the details leading up to and during it are not as they are written in the above script excerpt. Of course, there’s more hurling of objects at Obi-Wan, which is always cool, but I’m starting to get the impression that it made Anakin look more powerful, therefore making it appear that he’s got the advantage over Obi-Wan and I’m not so sure that was Lucas’ intent. While I can’t get into Lucas’ head, I would think he’d want this fight to appear more evenly matched and balanced.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> The images here are just stills from the DVD to illustrate the lightsaber switching described above.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THOUGHTFUL DROIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n It turns out that an oddly strong C-3PO carries her inside her ship after R2 tries to drag her inside somewhat unsuccessfully. To make matters even more odd, 3PO seems to be worried about his back. I didn’t know droids were prone to back pain. Maybe he’s just worried about tearing something – literally – like a wire or a joint or something.<\/p>\n In any case, there were originally a series of quick cutaways from the big lightsaber duel that showed the droids trying to bring\u00a0Padm\u00e9\u00a0 back to her ship.<\/p>\n It all starts with R2-D2, who seems to witness the beginning of the duel, wait for an opening, and then head over to help the fallen Padm\u00e9. He drags her back to her ship and tries to bring her up the ramp when C-3PO sees him and comes down to help. He picks her up and brings her into the ship, bickering with R2 the whole time…<\/p>\n ANAKIN lashes out at OBI-WAN, and they begin a ferocious sword fight. ANAKIN throws CONTAINERS at OBI-WAN using the Force. <\/em><\/p>\n They work their way off the landing platform and into the main entry hallway. ANAKIN kicks OBI-WAN, and OBI-WAN drops to a lower level.<\/em><\/p>\n ARTOO BEEPS his concern and rushes to the unconscious PADME’s aid.<\/em><\/p>\n 198 EXT. MUSTAFAR-LANDING PLATFORM-NABOO CRUISER-DAY C-3PO C-3PO starts down the ramp.<\/em><\/p>\n 213 EXT. MUSTAFAR-LANDING PLATFORM-NABOO SKIFF-DAY C-3PO C-3PO carries PADME into the Naboo Skiff.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LEAVING MUSTAFAR<\/strong><\/p>\n There was a brief shot in the original teaser trailer for Episode III<\/em> that showed Padm\u00e9’s silver ship flying away<\/em> from Mustafar. It’s a beautiful shot indeed and at that time we didn’t know who was in the ship or where they were going.<\/p>\n Now we know that the ship contains Padm\u00e9 (who is dying) and a post-duel Obi-Wan, along with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, the latter of whom happens to be flying the vessel. At the same time, another shuttle was landing, albeit with a different purpose – to rescue a fallen, young Sith Lord.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, this wonderful shot of Padm\u00e9’s gleaming spacecraft didn’t make it into the final version of the film.<\/p>\n Much like Tatooine, Mustafar was a seemingly insignificant planet, yet would be the location of galaxy-defining events. Drenched in deep reds and molten imagery, it provided the rich and hell-like backdrop needed for Anakin’s final fall into darkness. Here are some of the deleted scenes that revolve around this crimson planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001004,"featured_media":1221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,27],"tags":[62,74,28,29,303,42,41,95,288,86,35,94,302,48,45,133,107,65,289,50,239,245],"class_list":["post-1743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cutscenes","category-cutscenes-rots","tag-anakin-skywalker","tag-c-3po","tag-cut","tag-deleted","tag-dialogue","tag-droid","tag-droids","tag-duel","tag-episode-iii","tag-fight","tag-jedi","tag-lightsaber","tag-mustafar","tag-nute-gunray","tag-obi-wan-kenobi","tag-padme","tag-palpatine","tag-r2-d2","tag-revenge-of-the-sith","tag-rune-haako","tag-separatists","tag-wat-tambor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001004"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1743"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3370,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1743\/revisions\/3370"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/starwarz.com\/tbone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/865.jpg\" "\\"865\\"")
<\/a>There’s a quick shot in the Episode III<\/em> trailer that shows a grim Anakin walking down the hallway of the Mustafar complex, presumably on his way to end the lives of the Separatist council. When the film came out, this shot was nowhere to be seen. Later on it was made known that this shot might have also taken place in the Jedi Temple, during the attack on the Jedi. You can see the animatic version of Anakin’s walk in what’s called the “Animatic Trailer” – a special feature for paying members of the site\/fan club. It’s basically the Episode III<\/em> trailer, just with pre-visualization footage instead of final shots.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>ANAKIN ignites his lightsaber, NUTE and the OTHERS panic. The DROIDS at the controls and the GUARDS grab their weapons, but it is too late. They are cut down in a flash. The Separatists bang on the doors, and NUTE and RUNE HAAKO flee under a table. <\/em>ANAKIN, stone-faced, moves through the room like the grim reaper. Bodies drop everywhere. SCREAMS are cut short as the head of the Banking Clan dies.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n
\n182 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-CONFERENCE ROOM-DAY
\n<\/strong>After everyone in the Main Control Room is dead, ANAKIN moves to the small conference room where WAT TAMBOR. SHU MAI, and some OTHER SEPARATISTS are hiding. RUNE HAAKO tries to run but is trapped by a dead-end as ANAKIN advances. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nStop! Enough, this is
\nnot right!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The sleek NABOO SKIFF lands on the Mustafar landing platform near Anakin’s GREEN STARFIGHTER. ANAKIN runs up to the SKIFF as the ramp lowers. PADME runs to him. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nPadm\u00e9, I saw your ship…<\/p>\n
\nOh, Anakin!<\/p>\n
\nIt’s all right, you’re safe now.
\nWhat are you doing out here?<\/p>\n
\nI was so worried about you.
\nObi-Wan told me terrible things.<\/p>\n
\nWhat things?<\/p>\n
\nHe said you have turned to the
\ndark side… that you killed
\nyounglings.<\/p>\n
\nObi-Wan is trying to turn
\nyou against me.<\/p>\n
\nHe cares about us.<\/p>\n
\nUs??!<\/p>\n
\nHe knows…He wants
\nto help you.<\/p>\n
\nIs Obi-Wan going to protect you?
\nHe can’t … he can’t help you.
\nHe’s not strong enough.<\/p>\n
\nAnakin, all I want is your love.<\/p>\n
\nLove won’t save you, Padm\u00e9
\nOnly my new powers can do that.<\/p>\n
\nAt what cost? You are a good
\nperson. Don’t do this.<\/p>\n
\nI won’t lose you the way I
\nlost my mother! I’ve become
\nmore powerful than any Jedi
\nhas ever dreamed of and
\nI’ve done it for you.
\nTo protect you.<\/p>\n
\nCome away with me.
\nHelp me raise our child.
\nLeave everything else
\nbehind while we still can.<\/p>\n
\nDon’t you see, we don’t have
\nto run away anymore. I have
\nbrought peace to the Republic. I
\nam more powerful than the Chancellor.
\nI can overthrow him, and together
\nyou and I can rule the galaxy.
\nMake things the way we want
\nthem to be.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t believe what I’m hearing…
\nObi-Wan was right. You’ve changed.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t want to hear any more
\nabout Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned
\nagainst me. Don’t you turn against me.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t know you anymore.
\nAnakin, you’re breaking my
\nheart. I’ll never stop loving
\nyou, but you are going down
\na path I can’t follow.<\/p>\n
\nBecause of Obi-Wan?<\/p>\n
\nBecause of what you’ve done…
\nwhat you plan to do. Stop,
\nstop now. Come back!
\nI love you.<\/p>\n
\n(seeing Obi-Wan)
\nLiar!<\/p>\n
\nNo!<\/p>\n
\nYou’re with him. You’ve betrayed
\nme! You brought him here to kill me!<\/p>\n
\nNO! Anakin. I swear… I…<\/p>\n
\nLet her go, Anakin.<\/p>\n
\nWhat have you and she been up to?<\/p>\n
\nLet her go!<\/p>\n<\/a>There’s nothing out of the ordinary here. It’s simply some extra lines here and there. If you look at the novel and the comic you’ll see similar variations. The key thing that’s not mentioned here is the fact that originally Anakin flung Padm\u00e9 up against a wall when he let her go. This was changed later on and Padm\u00e9’s body was moved to a different location. I’m including a photo from Starwars.com that shows Padm\u00e9 in her original position near the wall. Also note that if you look at the comic version, you’ll see the artistic rendering.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>View screens EXPLODE around ANAKIN and OBI-WAN as they work their way into the Control Room. The fighting is intense. OBI-WAN is on the defensive as he jumps up on the table view screen in the center of the room.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nDon’t make me destroy you,
\nMaster. You’re no match for
\nthe dark side.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve heard that before,
\nAnakin… but I never
\nthought I’d hear it from
\nyou.<\/p>\n
\n
\n202 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-DAY
\n<\/strong>The battle intensifies.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n(continuing)
\nThe flaw of power
\nis arrogance.<\/p>\n
\nYou hesitate…
\nthe flaw of compassion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nI have failed you, Anakin.
\nI was never able to teach
\nyou to think.<\/p>\n
\nI should have known the Jedi
\nwere plotting to take over…<\/p>\n
\nFrom the Sith!!! Anakin,
\nChancellor Palpatine is evil.<\/p>\n
\nFrom the Jedi point of view!
\nFrom my point of view, the Jedi
\nare evil.<\/p>\n
\nWell, then you are lost!<\/p>\n
\nThis is the end for you, My
\nMaster. I wish it were
\notherwise.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
\nANAKIN forces OBI-WAN down a narrow balcony outside the Control Room. He rips objects off the wall and throws them at OBI-WAN as he pushes him further and further along the walkway.<\/em>The balcony ends, and OBI-WAN is trapped. He looks over the balcony and into a river of lava.<\/em>ANAKIN cuts apiece of the balcony railing off, along with a control panel. ALARMS SOUND, and a protective ray shield around the superstructure disappears. It tumbles into the molten abyss, disappearing in a puff of smoke. A small pipe connects the Control Center to the Main Collection Plant. OBI-WAN has no choice but to tightrope-walk out across the lava river while fighting ANAKIN.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>ANAKIN, following OBI-WAN, jumps down onto the flexing pipe, lands, and resumes fighting.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nOBI-WAN and ANAKIN work their way across the small pipe, fighting ferociously as they go. OBI-WAN slips, throws his lightsaber up in the air, grabs on to the pipe, swings around, grabs on to an upper pipe, retrieves his lightsaber, and lands back on the original pipe. They continue to fight across the pipe until they reach the Main Collection Plant.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>After Anakin and Obi-Wan are done duking it out, Obi-Wan returns to Padm\u00e9’s vessel to find a nervous C-3PO alerting him to the fact that R2-D2 and himself already have Padm\u00e9 on board and would really like to leave. We never get to see how two odd and clumsy droids are able to bring a pregnant human back to her ship, however.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/strong>R2-D2, tries to drag PADME on board the Naboo Cruiser. C-3PO pokes his head out of the ship’s doorway. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhat are you doing?
\nYou’re going to hurt her.
\nWait!!<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/strong>C-3PO carefully lifts PADME into his arms. R2-D2 nervously looks on. BEEPING.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI am being careful. I’ve got
\na good hold on her, but… I’m
\nworried about my back. I hope
\nit’s able to hold up under
\nthis weight.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
