Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace
INT. PALACE OF THE JEDI – COUNCIL CHAMBERS – SUNSET
ANAKIN stands before the TWELVE JEDI. MACE WINDU holds a small hand-held viewing screen. In rapid succession, images flash across the screen.
ANAKIN : A ship…a cup…a speeder.
MACE WINDU turns the viewing screen off and nods toward YODA.
YODA : Good, good, young one. How feel you?
ANAKIN : Cold, sir. YODA : Afraid are you?
ANAKIN : No, sir.
MACE WINDU : Afraid to give up your life?
ANAKIN : I don’t think so.
ANAKIN hesitates for a moment.
YODA : See through you, we can.
MACE WINDU : Be mindful of your feelings…
KI-ADI : YOur thoughts dwell on your mother.
ANAKIN : I miss her. YODA : Afraid to lose her..I think.
ANAKIN : (a little angry) What’s that got to do with anything?
YODA : Eveything. Fear is the path to the dark side… fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate.. hate leads to suffering.
ANAKIN : (angrily) I am not afraid!
YODA : A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. I sense much fear in you.
ANAKIN : (quietly) I am not afraid.
YODA : Then continue, we will.
