Official description[]
Stranded on the desert planet Tatooine after rescuing young Queen Amidala from the impending invasion of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discover nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, a young slave unusually strong in the Force. Anakin wins a thrilling Podrace and with it his freedom as he leaves his home to be trained as a Jedi. The heroes return to Naboo where Anakin and the Queen face massive invasion forces while the two Jedi contend with a deadly foe named Darth Maul. Only then do they realize the invasion is merely the first step in a sinister scheme by the re-emergent forces of darkness known as the Sith.
Diplomatic Mission[]
Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan learner Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Radiant Vll, visit the Trade Federation to attempt to stop the blockade of Naboo. The Jedi reach a room, escorted by TC-14, a protocol droid. The Trade Federation leaders, Nute Gunray, and Rune Haako use dioxide, a poisonous gas to try to kill the Jedi. A team of Security Droids open the door, investigating weather or not the Jedi are dead. The Jedi come out and destroy the droids in several quick and smooth strikes. Qui0Gon and Obi-Wan then move throughout the ship.Whe Gunray finds out the ambassadors are Jedi, he orders the Radiant Vll to be destroyed. Qui-Gon uses his lightsaber to attempt to breach the bridges doors. After about 1 minute, droidekas show up, and force the Jedi to escape. The Jedi then move to the ventilation shaft to escape on some Trade Federation Multi Troop Transports (MTT) The Jedi escape to the surface of Naboo with the Federation Army.
Meating Jar Jar[]
ui-Gon and Obi-Wan, now on the surface, try to regroup. Qui-Gon rescues a gungan from being smashed and killed by an MTT. The gungan says his name is Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar claims, that because Qui-Gon has saved his life, that he is in Qui-Gons debt, a life debt as the gungans call it. Obi-Wan then shows up, being followed by some STAP riders, a T-shaped speeder. Qui-Gon ignites his lightsaber and destroys the STAPs, saving Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon then asks Jar Jar if he knows anywhere safe, and Jar Jar says that the gungan city is safe, but is underwater. Qui-Gon asks if Jar Jar can take them there, but Jar Jar says no. Obi-Wan then tells Jar Jar, ¨Do you hear that? That is the sound of a million bad things heading our way, and when they get here, they will smash us to pieces, then blast us to oblivion¨ says Obi-Wan to Jar Jar. Jar Jar then says yes he will.
Big Boss Nass[]
Big Boss Nass, or the king of the gungans asks why Jar Jar is here. Jar Jar says, he does not know. Qui-Gon then asks for transportation to the surface. Boss Nass says no. He says ¨Wesa no care about da Naboo... dey think dey so smart... BAH¨ Qui-Gon then uses a Jedi Mind trick to persuade Boss Nass to give them transportation. Boss Nass says that the fastest way to the surface is through the planet's core. Qui-Gon then says he needs a navigator. He asks what is to happen to Jar Jar, and then asks if he can take him with them. Boss Nass says no, but then Qui-Gon says that Jar Jar is in Qui-Gons life debt. Boss Nass ask Jar Jar if this is true, and Jar Jar says yes. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar then get into a gungan sub and speed through the core.
Escaping Naboo[]
The Jedi and Jar Jar come up on Theed Palace, the Naboo queens palace. Qui-Gon and Jar Jar then free the queen of Naboo, and her guards. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Jar Jar, and the queen move to the hanger bay, where they find Queen Amidala's Naboo Royal Starship. The security droid there asks Qui-Gon where he was taking the queen. He answers by saying Coruscant. The droid counters with does not compute... you're under arrest, and tries to blast Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon destroys the security droids near the ship, as Obi-Wan frees the pilots. The queen, and the rest of the crew leave Theed Palace, and try to head off to Coruscant. The Armored Assault Tanks outside of Theed fire at the ship, but miss. The ship leaves the atmosphere, and fly straight into the blockade. The droid control ships blasts the ship, knocking out the hyperdrive, and causing the fuel to leak. Several Droids including R2-D2 go out to try to fix the ship. All droids except R2 get shot and destroyed. R2 fixes the hyperdrive, and the ship goes into hyperspace to a remote planet named Tatooine.
Meating Anakin[]
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan take Jar Jar, R2, and Padmé Amidala to the city of Mos Espa where they find Watto and his shop. Qui-Gon was looking for a hyperdrive, and Watto has one. Qui-Gon only has Republic Credits to pay with. Watto does not except the credits. Qui-Gon then tries to use a Jedi Mind trick on Watto, but Watto says that mind tricks do not work on Toydarians. Qui-Gon then leaves with R2, Jar Jar, and Padmé, but a sandstorm has begun. Anakin offers them shelter until the storm passes. Anakin leads them to his home, and introduces them to his mom, Shmi Skywalker. Anakin then shows Padmé his droid, C-3PO. Padmé says that she likes it. when it is time to eat, Anakin asks why a Jedi is all the way out in the Outer Rim? Qui-Gon says that he needs a hyperdrive to repair his ship. Anakin says that there is a pod race tomorrow, and he will enter. He also states that he is the only human that can race. Later that night, Qui-Gon gives Anakin a shot. He sends the blood sample to Obi-Wan on the ship to check the midichlorian count. Obi-Wan states that is is extremely high, even higher than Master Yoda´s. The next morning, Anakin touches up his pod racer, so it is ready to race.
Pod Race[]
Watto makes a deal with Qui-Gon, if the boy wins, then Qui-Gon can bring the boy back to Coruscant, but if he loses, then Watto keeps Queen Amidala's ship. Qui-Gon accepts, and the race begins. Anakin starts off to a slow start, being the 2nd to last podracer to get going from the starting line. Anakin slowly climbs the leader board to meat Sebulba, a dug who won every pod race that he competed in. Sebulba's pod is equipped with some dangerous, and potentially lethal illegal gadgets. Even with the gadgets, Anakin manages to beat him with 1 blown out engine. Anakin wins, so Qui-Gon gets the hyperdrive, and Anakin.
Meating Maul[]
On the way back to the ship, Qui-Gon runs into some trouble. Darth Maul comes on his speeder, and attacks Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon tells Anakin to tell the ship to take off. Qui-Gon duels with Maul, until he jumps onto the ship as it flies away. Qui-Gon says that that was somebody who was well trained with the force.
Jedi Test[]
Anakin, back on Coruscant takes a Jedi test, that will determine if he is to become a Jedi. The results say that he should, but on a council vote, they say he is too old. Qui-Gon says he will train the boy, but Yoda says that Qui-Gon already has an apprentice. Qui-Gon says that he believes that Obi-Wan is ready to take the Jedi Master Trials.
Back to Naboo[]
Obi-Wan tells Qui-Gon that everybody else senses that Anakin is dangerous, but Qui-Gon disagrees. He says that he will train the boy.
When the ship gets back to Naboo, Jar Jar checks to see where the gungans are, they are not in the gungan city, but at a sacred place. The gungans agree to help the queen take back Naboo, but only when Padmé buts in and says that she is queen of Naboo. She says that her protection was necessary. The gungans then send their grand army to the Great Grass Plains. There, the Federation Army meets the gungans and would begin the battle that is known as The Battle of the Great Grass Plains. The gungans battle the droids, and when have to surrender to the droid army.
Retaking Theed[]
The battle was supposed to be a distraction, so the Jedi and queen can capture Gunray and retake Naboo. After they take the main hanger, they meet up with Darth Maul again. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fight Maul while the queen goes and tries to capture Gunray. Anakin stays in the N1 Starfighter that he was hiding in, but when Padmé and her guards need help against droidekas, Anakin turns on the ship and blows up the droids. Anakin then flies out to the battle in space, where the other pilots were.
Padmé and her guards are delayed when they meet up with some security droids. Padmé and her guards use grappling guns to climb the outside of Theed. When they get to Gunray, their decoy shows up, adn fools Gunray, he sends his droids after her, but Padmé captures Gunray.
Duel with Maul[]
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan duel with Maul near the energy hold part of Theed Palace, Maul kicks Obi-Wan down 2 floors, so Obi-Wan can not catch up for Obi-Wan. This results with Obi-Wan being one energy door away from the duel, and Maul stabbing Qui-Gon through the stomach. Maul smiles hastily, as Obi-Wan screams in rage. Obi-Wan fights Maul, but is pushed over a ledge. Obi-Wan uses the force to grab Qui-Gon's lightsaber and slice Maul in half. Obi-Wan then promises to train Anakin.
Battle over Naboo[]
Anakin flies his N1-Starfighter out to the battle in space. Anakin menouvers between some pillars, and dodged some shots, and accidentally flew inside the droid control ship. Anakin´s N1 was overheated. Anakin restarted the ship, raised the shields, and launched 2 proton torpedos that hit the main reactor, and blew up the ship inside out. Anakin narrowly escapes before the ship explodes killing several Trade Federation leaders including Rune Haako. Because Anakin blew up the control ship, the droids on the planet where deactivated. The gungans laughed, celebrated, and knocked over all the battle droids.
Celebration & Funeral[]
The gungans, and Naboo held a celebration on Coruscant to symbolise that they won, and that the Naboo and gungans were now at peace. The Jedi held a funeral for Qui-Gon, and Anakin asked Obi-Wan, ¨Will i become a Jedi?¨ Obi-Wan says yes. Then Yoda and Mace Windu talk about the Sith, and Yoda says, 2 there always are, no more, no less. Then Mace asks, well, which one did we kill, the master or apprentice? The answer is not revealed, at least not yet.
