EXT. TATOOINE DESERT MESA NIGHT

The sinister looking Sith spacecraft lands on top of a desert mesa at dus, scattering a herd of banthas.
DARTH MAUL walks to the edge of the mesa and studies the landscape with a pair of electrobinoculars.
He picks out the lights of three different cities in the distance, then pushes buttons on his electronic
armband.
Six (other is Three, and it should be three) football-sized
PROBE DROIDS float out of the ship and head off in three different directions toward the cities.
DARTH MAUL stands on the mesa and watches them through his electrobinoculars.

 

EXT. MOS ESPA STREET
DAY
One of Darth Maul's PROBE DROIDS slowly floats down the main street of Tatooine.  (other one says Mos Espa) It looks in shops and studies PEOPLE as it searches for OBIWAN,
QIGON, or the QUEEN.

EXT. MOS ESPA ARENA
DAY
As ANAKIN stops the Podracer, KISTER turns up, and they embrace. Hundreds of SPECTATORS join them and put ANAKIN on their shoulders, marching off, CHEERING AND CHANTING. Darth Maul's PROBE DROIDS move through the crowd. (not in the other one.)

INT. MOS ESPA ARENA PRIVATE BOX DAY
...
QUIGON: Would you like to discuss it with the Hutts...I'm sure they can settle this.
WATTO : No, no! I want no more of your tricks!  (not in other one) Take him!
The SITH PROBE DROID watches with great interest. (not in other one)

EXT. TATOOINE DESERT
NABOO SPACECRAFT DAY
...
OBIWAN: Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form...?
QUIGON: It's the boy who's responsible for getting those parts.
On a hill far overlooking the Naboo spacecraft, the SITH PROBE DROID turns and speeds away.  (not in other one)

 

EXT. TATOOINE DESERT MESA DAY
The PROBE DROID beeps and whistles to DARTH MAUL. The SITH LORD gets on a speeder bike and follows the PROBE DROID into Mos Espa.

............
ANAKIN runs to join QUIGON, who has already started down the street. As they walk along together, QUIGON notices something out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, without breaking his stride, he ignites his laser sword, swing around, and lunges forward and cuts a lurking PROBE DROID in half. QUIGON inspects the sparking and fizzing DROID.
ANAKIN : What is it?
QUIGON: Probe droid. Very unusual... not like anything I've seen before. Come on.
QUIGON and ANAKIN start running. (not in other one)

 

EXT. TATOOINE DESERT
NABOO SPACECRAFT DAY
QUIGON and ANAKIN run toward the Naboo spacecraft. ANAKIN is having a hard time keeping up.
ANAKIN : Master  (not in other) QuiGon, sir, wait!  (other one: "I'm tired!)
QUIGON turns to answer and sees a DARK-CLOAKED FIGURE bearing down on a speeder bike.
QUIGON: Anakin, drop!
ANAKIN drops to the ground just as DARTH MAUL sweeps over him. DARTH MAUL jumps off his speeder bike, and before he has hit the ground, the Sith Lord has swund a death blow with his laser sword that is barely blocked by QUIGON.
ANAKIN picks himself up. The two galactic warriors, Sith and Jedi, are bashing each other with incredible blows. They move in a continual cloud of dust, smashing everything around them. This is a fierce fight. ANAKIN gets up, bewildered by the confrontation.
QUIGON: (Cont'd) Annie, get to the ship! Take off! Go! Go! (not in other) (other: QUIGON:  (Cont'd) Annie, tell them to take off!)
QUIGON struggles to fend off the relentless onslaught as ANAKIN races to the ship.

 

EXT. TATOOINE DESERT
NABOO SPACECRAFT DAY
QUIGON and DARTH MAUL continue their sword battle. Leaping over one another in an incredible display of acrobatics, the two warrios hear the ship fly over them a few feet off the ground. QUIGON almost dissapears for a moment.

Before DARTH MAUL knows what's happening, QUIGON is on the spacecrat's ramp.

EXT. TATOOINE NABOO SPACECRAFT RAMP DAY
The SITH LORD immediately jumps onto the ramp after QUIGON, but barely makes it. His heels hang over the edge of a fortyfoot drop. QUIGON swings his laser sword with all his might and knocks DARTH MAUL off the ramp and onto the desert floor.  (not in other one) The ramp closes, and the Naboo craft rockets away, leaving the Sith Lord standing alone.

INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT HALLWAY
ANAKIN and OBIWAN rush into the hallway to find QUIGON collapsed on the floor opposite the entry. ARTOO is looking over him. 

The JEDI is breathing hard, wet with sweat and covered in dirt.
ANAKIN : Are you all right?
QUIGON: I think so... that was a surpirse I wont soon forget. (not in other one)
OBIWAN: What was it?
QUIGON: I don't know. (not in other) (other: I'm not sure...) but he was well trained in the Jedi arts. My guess is he was after the Queen...
ANAKIN : Do you think he'll follow us?
QUIGON: We'll be safe enough once we're in hyperspace, but I have no doubt he knows our destination.  (not in other one)
ANAKIN : What are we going to do about it?
OBIWAN gives ANAKIN a "who are you?" look. ANAKIN returns an innocent stare.
QUIGON: We will be patient. Anakin Skywalker, meet ObiWan Kenobi.
