The Fanon Menace/Season 1/Episode 14 script

Tatooine -Anakin finds his mother

*Anakin drives his speeder over four Tuskens*

Stupid! I always hit the people! Well, there’s no more Tuskens, now. They’re all unconscious.

*Sees his mother lying behind a moisture vaporator*

Mother!

Ani? Ani? Oh, Ani. I must have fallen asleep. I was heading to Anchorhead, and I must have missed my exit and found myself on the Bantha Back Roads. I decided to spend the night behind the vaporator, and go back in the morning.

And then the Tuskens found you?

Tuskens? Where?!

Uh...right here. You slept right next to the Tusken camp, Mom.

Oh...well, I’m alright.

Come with me.

*Anakin and Shmi hop on speeder and speed off*

-Brings mother back to homestead

Padmé, I’m home!

Oh, Anakin! It’s good to have you back.

Ani, who’s this?

Mom, this is Padmé Amidala, sympathetic to kind people. I’m going to marry her this episode.

Well, isn’t that nice. I’m sure you two will have a very long and happy marriage. Nothing will ever come between you.

Well, we have to be going, Mom.

*Comes out of homestead on a floating char* Shmi! Anakin rescued you from the Tuskens!

What Tuskens?

<Cliegg>The scum wiped your memory! If I wasn’t confined to a repulsorchair because of my injury, I would teach the lot of them a lesson.

<Anakin>Well, we really have to be going.

<Shmi>Aren’t you going to take the speeder?

<Anakin>No, we’ll take Cliegg’s. You can have ours.

*Exit Ani and Padmé on Lars’s speeder*

-Meet Obi-Wan

*Anakin swoops in on speeder, Jawas run by and steal the speeder right from under them*

<Anakin>Look, Padmé, no hands!

<Padmé>No speeder, either.

*They crash into the side of their ship*

*Obi’s fighter lands next to Anakin’s ship*

<Obi-Wan>Anakin? What are you doing here?

<Anakin>In a nutshell, I was rescuing Cliegg Lars’ wife, who turned out to be my mom from Tuskens that didn’t capture her. Expanded, we got a text from Lars, came here, hassled with Watto over directions, bought a speeder, and went to the homestead, out past Mos Eisley. Then I borrowed Lars’ speeder and rescued Mom, then went back to the homestead, picked up Padmé, and came back here.

<Obi-Wan>Whatever you said, I’m sure it was exciting. I have urgent news.

<Anakin>Go ahead.

<Obi-Wan>Wait a second, aren’t you supposed to be on Naboo? I told you to stay on Naboo!

<Anakin>No you didn’t...

<Obi-Wan>You’re right. Anyway, my urgent news. I discovered who was behind the assassination attempt on Padmé.

<Anakin>Let me guess…Darth Sidious, the mastermind behind it all?

<Obi-Wan>Sh! You’re giving away the story! Be patient, my young Padawan. No, it was Jango Fett, the source of all trouble.

<Anakin>Did you capture him?

<Obi-Wan>No. We fought for posterity’s sake, then he attached my homing beacon to his ship.

<Anakin>So where is he?

<Obi-Wan>Here, on Geonosis.

<Anakin>This would be Tatooine...

<Obi-Wan>Oh. I guess that my coordinates were a little off, then...

<Anakin>Not by much. Geonosis is in the same system.

<Obi-Wan>What are we waiting for? Let’s go.
