Obi-Wan and Mace - Jedi Landing Platform
In this cut scene, Obi-Wan and Mace Windu speak alongside Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter. Obi-Wan shares his concerns about Anakin taking on his first mission and his emotional attachment to Padme. Although this scene was cut, it still exists in the movie, just in a different form. The final movie version takes place in a hallway in the Jedi Temple with Yoda taking part in the conversation from a floating platform.
DVD Info: This scene is one of the eight deleted scenes on the DVD. The dialogue about Yoda probing the Darkside is omitted. The shots of Obi-Wan sitting in the cockpit speaking to Mace are also gone.
Footage of Obi-Wan getting aboard his Fighter can be seen in Making of Episode II #2 "Wedgie 'Em Out"
Below is the excerpt from the "2nd draft"...
EXT. CORUSCANT, LANDING PLATFORM - LATE AFTERNOON
Obi-Wan's Starfighter is ready for takeoff. OBI-WAN and MACE WINDU stand beside it.
MACE WINDU
Be wary, this disturbance in the
Force is growing stronger.
OBI-WAN
I am concerned for my Padawan. He
is not ready to be on his own.
MACE WINDU
He has exceptional skills. The
Council is confident in its
decision, Obi-Wan. If the
prophecy is true, he will be the
one to bring balance to the Force.
OBI-WAN
But he still has much to learn.
And his abilities have made him...
well... arrogant. I realise now
what you and Master Yoda knew from
the beginning... the boy was too
old to start the training and...
OBI-WAN hesitates.
MACE WINDU
There's something else?
OBI-WAN
Master, he should not have been
given this assignment. I'm afraid
Anakin won't be able to protect
the Senator.
MACE WINDU
Why?
OBI-WAN
He has a... an emotional
connection with her. It's been
there since he was boy. Now
he's confused... distracted.
MACE WINDU
Obi-Wan, you must have faith that
he will take the right path.
OBI-WAN climbs into the cockpit of the Starfighter.
OBI-WAN
Has Master Yoda gained any insight
into whether or not this war will
come about?
MACE WINDU
Probing the Dark Side is a
dangerous process. He could be in
seclusion for days... May the
force be with you.
