Jedi Temple Analysis Room
In this cut scene, which would have taken place before the Diner scene, Obi-Wan takes the dart to the Jedi Temple to be examined by the Analysis Droids. The droids however are unable to identify the weapon. Interesting to note is that the Saberdart was originally called a "Kyberdart" in the 2nd draft of the script. This scene is one of the eight deleted scenes on the DVD.
Here is the excerpt from the screenplay included with the "Art of Episode II" book...
Scene 043- INTERIOR JEDI TEMPLE, ANALYSIS CUBICLES-LATE DAY
OBI-WAN walks past several glass cubicles where work is going on. He comes to an empty one and sits down in front of a console. An SP-4 ANALYSIS DROID comes to life.
A tray slides open.
SP-4
Place the subject for analysis on the sensor tray, please.
OBI-WAN puts the dart onto the tray, which retracts into the console. The DROID activates the system, and a screen lights up in front of OBI-WAN.
OBI-WAN
It's a toxic dart. I need to know where it came from and who made it.
SP-4
One moment please.
Diagrams and data appear on the screen, scrolling past at great speed. OBI-WAN watches as the screen goes blank. The tray slides out.
SP-4
Markings cannot be identified. As you can see on your screen, subject weapon does not exist in any known culture. Probably self made by a warrior not associated with any known society. Stand away from the sensor tray please.
OBI-WAN
Excuse me? Could you try again please?
SP-4
Master Jedi, our records are very thorough. They cover eighty percent of the galaxy. If I can't tell you where it came from, nobody can.
OBI-WAN picks up the dart and looks at it, then looks to the DROID.
OBI-WAN
Thanks for your assistance! (to himself) I know who can identify this.
