Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones
The map reader is a small shaft with a hollow opening at the top. The CHILDREN gather around it. OBI-WAN takes out a little glass ball and places it into the bowl. The window shades close darkening the room and the reader lights up, projecting the star map hologram into the room. The CHILDREN laugh. Some of them reach up to try and touch the nebulae and stars. OBI-WAN walks into the display. OBI-WAN This is where it ought to be... but it isn’t. Gravity is pulling all the stars in this area inward to this spot. There should be a star here... but there isn’t. YODA Most interesting. Gravity’s silhouette remains, but the star and all its planets have disappeared. How can this be? There is a brief pause. Then a CHILD puts its hand up. YODA nods. JEDI CHILD JACK Because someone erased it from the archive memory. CHILDREN That’s right! Yes! That’s what happened! Someone erased it! JEDI CHILD MAY If the planet blew up, the gravity would go away. OBI-WAN stares; YODA chuckles. YODA Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is. Uncluttered. To the centre of the pull of gravity go, and find your planet you will. OBI-WAN But Master Yoda who could have erased information from the archives? That’s impossible, isn’t it? YODA (frowning) Much harder to answer, that question is.
