What follows
is NOT the shooting script. It is a transcript of the actual film itself.
Unmodified screen shots from the film will be provided to give you an idea
of the movie.
EXT. SPACE
TITLE CARD: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the main title, followed by a roll-up, which crawls into infinity.
YOUNG JEDI: HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT
Not a whole hell of a lot is going on, quite frankly. The galaxy is in a state
of calm, stability and relative tranquility.
Such is not the case for Coruscant Public High School 1138, where romance
is in the air as the SENIOR PROM approaches, the defining moment of the social
lives of all students.
Unnoticed by the masses, one young Jedi Knight by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi
ponders his fate, while the school and the galaxy continue to exist in a precarious
balance....
PAN DOWN to reveal the planet of Coruscant. A school bus flies towards it.
INT. SCHOOL BUS
BUS DRIVER
(into comlink)
Coruscant P.S. 1138, this is bus four. We’ve got twenty students coming
in.
BUS CONTROLLER (V.O.)
Proceed to bay 327.
We’ve zoomed in on the school in the display of the ship.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. P.S. 1138
OBI-WAN KENOBI, a high school senior seventeen years of age, watches the bus fly overhead, then runs into the school.
WIPE TO:
INT. CORRIDOR
The BELL RINGS.
OBI-WAN
I have a bad feeling about this.
He rushes down the hall and trips. Other STUDENTS LAUGH at him as he picks up himself.
A STUDENT
Hey, Kenobi! You trip over your knee again?!
ANOTHER STUDENT
Yeah, why can’t your magic Jedi powers stop that?
OBI-WAN
(embarrassed)
Shut up!
He gets up and walks away.
INT. CORRIDORS
He runs to class.
INT. HISTORY CLASS
OBI-WAN comes in late.
HISTORY TEACHER
Obi-Wan! You’re late again?!
OBI-WAN
I’m sorry. I got here late from the temple.
A STUDENT
Yeah, what a dork, his father still drives him to school.
OBI-WAN
(rising, angrily)
Qui-Gon is not my father! He’s my Master!
ANOTHER STUDENT
Whatever.
As OBI-WAN sits, annoyed:
HISTORY TEACHER
Obi-Wan, take your seat.
PINWHEEL WIPE TO:
INT. CORRIDOR
OBI-WAN is reading a poster announcing the upcoming prom.
OBI-WAN
(to himself)
I wonder...
He looks across the hall and sees JENNY JADE, his dream girl.
OBI-WAN
Hey, Jenny.
JENNY
Oh, um, hi, Obi-Wan. Um... how’s Jedi training going?
OBI-WAN
Uh, not good, I’m kind of out of touch with the Force lately.
JENNY
That’s... too bad.
OBI-WAN
Hey, the prom is coming up.
JENNY
Yeah, I’m really excited—
The BELL RINGS.
JENNY
Oh, I gotta go. Bye.
She goes. OBI-WAN frowns and uses Jedi telekinesis to break it the bell, resulting in amusing SOUND EFFECTS.
WIPE TO:
INT. CAFETERIA
MUSIC: “Cantina Band” from “A New Hope”.
OBI-WAN sits at a table. His best friend, MOORE CASH, sits down across from him. They have what is presumably food.
MOORE
Hey, what’s up, buddy, what’s up, man.
OBI-WAN
Ah, nothing...
MOORE
I wonder what this stuff is.
OBI-WAN
I don’t know, this looks exactly like last week’s Jawa-burger with
cheese. Except without the bun.
MOORE
I opted for the cream of womp-rat soup. I think.
MOORE digs into his thoroughly disgusting-looking soup. OBI-WAN regards his meat-like object for a while, then tries to cut it, with no result. He ignites his lightsaber and attempts to cut it. No result. Disgusted, he exits.
MOORE
Hey, wait up, man.
OBI-WAN has already departed, using the Force to open the door.
