Obi-Wan Kenobi

You were right about one thing, Master; the negotiations were short.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces, and blast us into oblivion!

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

The boy is dangerous. They all sense it; why can't you?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Oh, don't worry. This hasn't been our day for warm welcomes.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't sense anything.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive.

Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future.

But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, my young Padawan.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Yes, Master. How do you think the trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands?

These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short.

A city? Will you take us there?

Uhhh, on second tout...no. Not willy, no.

Tis embarassing, but my afraid mys been banished. Da Bosses will do terrible tings to me! Tewiwible tings to me if me goin back dere!

Do you hear that?

That is the sound of thousand terrible things headed this way.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion.

Hmm... yousa point is well seen. Dis way, hurry!

The Force is strong with him.

He's to be trained, then.

No. He will not be trained.

He is too old.

He is the Chosen One! You must see it!

Hmmm. Clouded, this boy's future is.

I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner.

An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take on a second.

The code forbids it.

Obi-Wan is ready--

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I am ready to face the trials.

Our own council, we will keep, on who is ready.

He is headstrong and he has much to learn about the living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he will learn from me.

Young Skywalker's fate will be decided later.

Now is not the time for this. The Senate is voting for a new Supreme Chancellor and Queen Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the Federation and could widen the confrontation.

And draw out the Queen's attacker.

Go with the Queen to Naboo and discover the identity of the dark warrior. This is the clue we need to unravel this mystery of the Sith.

May the Force be with you.

[dying]

Uhh, it's too late, it's...

Obi-Wan Kenobi

No!

Obi-Wan, promise... Promise me you will train the boy.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Yes, master.

He... is the Chosen One. He... will bring balance... Train him.

Confer on you the level of Jedi Knight, the Council does. But agree on you taking this boy as your Padawan learner, I do not.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Qui-Gon believed in him.

The Chosen One, the boy may be. Nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council if I must.

Qui-Gon's defiance, I sense in you. Need that, you do not. Agree, the council does. Your apprentice, Skywalker will be.

What will happen to me now?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

The council has granted me to train you. You will be a Jedi. I promise.
