Your mate emailed this to starwars.net then, I read this a few months ago.

Seems fair enough, but seems a little complicated for Lucas, he excels in simple stories.

This was emailed to me from a semi-reliable source (friend inside the film press) days after the news reports of the first ILM staff screening - happens before they start putting the effects in. I've moaned about people for falling for internet, fan-created scripts before but I've believe there is an element of truth in it. This mostly comes from the fact that he sent me a similar and bang on Episode One plot. His source then was inside ILM as he claims this one is.

At worst, it is a very well written fan attmept at guessing the plot after gathering together all the on-line goss. Please note that I got this in January, before a lot was know about the film. I say this not to look big and clever, but because there have been Lusacs Arts comments on internet rummors that are ture and false. Nothing that occurs in this version has ever been stated as wrong, some has been comfirmed - all long after I got it. This, again, leds me to believe that it is real.

Anyway, if you want to read it, enjoy.

Like all Star Wars films, Episode 2 opens in space where we see Senator Padme's starship approaching Coruscant. Padme doesn't go by the name Amidala in Episode 2 and she is no longer Queen of Naboo. Meanwhile, Palpatine sends three Jedi battle cruisers on a mission to Geonosis. Two of the cruisers are destroyed. The Jedi that arrive on Geonosis are attacked by a group of super battledroids. Many Jedi are lost in this attack, but Obi-Wan and Anakin manage to escape to safety . . . In the Galactic Senate, we see Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan and Uv Gizen, who replaced Mas Amedda as the Supreme Chancellor's aide. In Episode 2, Amedda is a Senator. Orn Free Taa will make an appearance as well. The majority of Republic Senators are corrupt or
corruptible.

For some time now, Palpatine has been secretly laying the plans for the creation of a powerful clone army. Palpatine has kept the issue of cloning a secret from the Senate. In private, Palpatine leads the Senate to believe that the clone army will be used for peaceful purposes to keep the galaxy at peace and to foster stability. However, Palpatine's top minions know the truth that Palpatine plans to use this army for evil.

Through his charm, Palpatine convinces the Senate to back his desire to build a huge fleet of starships and the clone army. Palpatine proposes that a lasting peace can be achieved most efficiently through the intimidation of
a large fleet comprised of state-of-the-art starships.

A massive space battle takes place over the tranquil skies of the center of the Republic: Coruscant. This is by far the largest space battle ever seen in a Star Wars film. Hundreds and hundreds of warships and star fighters
battle each other. The battle pits the nefarious forces of Count Dooku versus the noble warriors fighting for the Republic. Many starships and pilots are lost by both sides during the battle. At the end of this epic conflict, the Republic limps out with a slight victory or loss depending
on how you analyze the battle.

Although the Nemoidians were prosecuted for their acts in Episode 1, they got off easily and are still around to do some damage in Episode 2. The stability of the galaxy is not only threatened by the Nemoidians, but also by the powerful Commerce Guild and the Intergalactic Bank Clan. It turns out that the Geonosians and the Kaminoans are having a rancorous conflict with the Commerce Guild and the Bank Clan. Senator Padme steps into the situation to try to find a peace between these factions. While working on this problem, Senator Padme learns that the vast majority of the Senate is corrupt. Padme also finds out about the plans for the clone army. Padme announces her discovery to the Senate. By trying to end corruption and other secret dealings in the Senate, Padme makes herself a threat to some of the most powerful individuals in the galaxy.

Palpatine will not sit idle while Padme seeks to undermine his master plan. He and Uv Gizen hire bounty hunter Zam Wesell to assassinate Padme. By killing Padme, Palpatine hopes to use this as further evidence that the galaxy is nearing chaos and that force must be used to restore order.
Wesell's assassination attempt against Padme fails. Captain Typho acts as Padme's bodyguard.

Palpatine is enraged that Wesell was unable to eliminate Padme. However, Palpatine uses this assassination attempt to bolster his own position. Palpatine announces that such lawlessness within the very walls of the Senate will not be tolerated. He uses this incident as proof that the galaxy
is beginning to spin out of contol. Palpatine argues that no one in the galaxy is safe if the Senators are now the targets for extermination. Palpatine begins to receive more and more support in the Senate. His popularity swells. He instructs Wesell to continue her attacks on Padme until she has succeeded in eliminating Padme.

Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme and her handmaidens attend a popular nightclub located on Coruscant. The group wants to cut loose after all the distractions that have been going on. This nightclub is packed with hundreds of alien species just like the cantina from A New Hope and Jabba's Palace
from Return of the Jedi. Action figures galore. Elian Sleazebaggano introduces himself to the group and finds a way to distract Obi-Wan and Anakin. It turns out that Elian is working with Zam Wesell. Blaster fire engulfs the nightclub. The assassin ends up killing Padme's handmaiden
Corde. Padme is devastated by this murder of her close friend.

In a panic, Elian leaves the nightclub. Obi-Wan and Anakin pursue Zam Wesell in their ultra-cool ground vehicles. One of the most exciting chase sequences occurs through the night time streets of the eeringly beautiful Coruscant. This chase goes on for quite some time and proves that George Lucas is the master of action sequences. This scene is a million times more exciting than either the speeder bike sequence from Return of the Jedi or the pod race from The Phantom Menace.

This unnerving chase comes to an end at an eating place known as Dexter's Diner owned by local goofball, Dexter Jetster. Temporarily, Obi-Wan and Anakin lose sight of Wesell. They use a Jedi mind trick to learn Wesell has
hidden in the club. After they enter the diner, a local says something to Anakin and Anakin turns on his light sabre. Obi-Wan scolds Anakin for his tactics that are unbecoming of a Jedi. The Jedi attempt to find out from
Wesell who has hired her to kill Padme. Before Wesell can reveal her secrets, she is killed by the nefarious Jango Fett with a Kyber Dart. Jango flees the scene.

Anakin returns to Padme and takes her to safety. At the same time, Obi-Wan chases after Jango Fett in the rain. Obi-Wan finds Jango on a landing dock while it rains furiously. An intense battle sequence ensues between Jango and Obi-Wan. This fight is breathtaking for both its scope and complexity. We see intricate moves that have never been attempted before on film. In the background, we see Jango's starship, the infamous Slave I. From inside Slave I, a 12-year-old Boba Fett, son of Jango, watches the fight. Boba Fett helps out his father by firing the Slave I's blasters at Obi-Wan.

After much intense fighting, Jango manages to escape aboard Slave I. However, all is not lost for Obi-Wan because he manages to secure a tracking device to Slave I before Jango can slip a way. This tracker will be used to learn that Jango is headed for Geonosis. Geonosis is home to Count Dooku, who is running Palpatine's clandestine cloning operation. Jango's genetic material is being used as the blueprint for the clone army.

Obi-Wan finds his way to where Anakin and Padme are hiding out. Padme relates to the two Jedi all she knows about the evil plans that are going on in secret in the Senate with the clone army. She tells them all she knows about the creation of a clone army. Obi-Wan and Anakin tell the Jedi
Council about the nefarious plans that are going on in the Senate. They patiently wait to learn what the Council is going to do. While waiting for the Council's decision, Obi-Wan meets with Master Yaddle in the Jedi Archives. Obi-Wan learns about how great a Jedi that Count Dooku use to be. We learn that the Jedi Order faces many problems including the fact that some Jedi are leaving the Order to embrace the lure of the dark side of the Force.

The Jedi Council orders Anakin to guard Padme and to take her to the safety of Naboo. This is good and bad. It's good that we get to see Naboo again, but it's bad because this gives Lucas a means to insert Jar Jar Binks into the film . . . In one scene, Yaddle, Madame Jocastanu and Obi-Wan have a conversation about the rogue Jedi known now as Count Dooku. They also discuss the Sith Lords. Dooku is known as one of the Jedi who disappeared under strange circumstances. The Council orders Obi-Wan to learn all that
he can about the rumored clone army. Obi-Wan visits the planet Kamino where the cloning of a massive army is underway. Obi-Wan sends a report to Mace Windu vis a vis a hologram.

The Council decides to send a Jedi army to confront the villains on Poggle the Lesser's planet of Geonosis. Dooku and Jango now are on their way to meet with Poggle. Poggle is in charge of manufacturing battle droids, super battle droids and destroyer droids for Palpatine's army and anyone else who has enough credits to purchase them. While on their way to Poggle's planet, Dooku updates Darth Sidious on what has transpired.

On Naboo, Anakin and Padme meet with the new Queen of Naboo named Jamillia. Jar Jar makes a brief appearance. Anakin begins to spend a great deal of time with the lovely Padme. Padme introduces Anakin to her family. While spending time together, Anakin and Padme begin to form a deep bond. To
remain in obscurity, Anakin and Padme stay at a secret location owned by Padme's family. A disturbing vision comes to Anakin. He foresees that his mother is in danger. To leave Naboo, Anakin and Padme travel on an aquatic craft. They are attacked, but manage to escape to a docking bay and head for Tatooine.

On Tatooine, Anakin is unable to find his mother. On Tatooine, while searching for Shmi, a local approaches Padme and bothers her, but Anakin runs the individual away. Anakin searches for Watto in hopes that Watto will know what happened to his mother. Anakin manages to find Watto.
Surprisingly, Anakin learns that Watto is broke because of his heavy gambling habit. Watto now hangs around Jabba the Hutt's Palace. Watto tells Anakin that his mother is no longer a slave and that she is married to a man
named Cliegg Lars, who has a son by the name of Owen.

Anakin and Padme arrive at Cliegg Lars' home. They meet Owen Lars and his girlfriend, Beru Whitesun. Anakin learns that Shmi is not at home instead she is out in the desert. Anakin fears the worst and leaves Padme with the Lars so that he can search for his mother in the desert. After Anakin leaves, Padme decides that it would be nice to finish the look of the uncompleted C-3PO. Padme and R2-D2 use spare parts to complete the look of C-3PO. Jawas provide Anakin with some needed directions to find his mother.

Anakin finds that his mom has been attacked by Tusken Raiders. The sandpeople flee upon Anakin's arrival. The sandpeople have badly injured Shmi and she dies in Anakin's arms. Anakin is totally devastated by the loss of his mother. If only he had remained on Tatooine with his mother instead of leaving with Qui-Gon, then his mother never would have died. He could have protected her from the danger. The most powerful Force user, that the galaxy has ever known, stands helpless over his mother's corpse.

Anakin is too depressed to return to the Lars abode. Instead, he spends the night in the desert meditating over his mother's death. Ultimately, Anakin concludes that the Jedi are to blame for his mother's death because they are
the ones who seperated him from his mother. His hatred and disgust for the Jedi begins to grow in his heart. For a while, Anakin taps into the dark side as the pureness of his rage boils through his powerful midichlorian-packed bloodstream. Anakin seeks revenge against the Tusken Raiders and it's not pretty for them. We see the devastating power that Anakin possesses when he taps into the dark side.

Things get even worse for Anakin. He returns to the Lars home to find it completely razed. Jango Fett and Aurra Sing have attacked the Lars' home and kidnapped Padme. Sidious plans to use Padme's capture to lure Anakin to Poggle's homeworld. Anakin promises himself that he will never again
return to Tatooine.

Finally, Obi-Wan makes it to Poggle's homeworld, Geonosis. Obi-Wan finds a clandestine cloning facility that is secretly creating stormtroopers, who are based on Jango's genetic material.

The Jedi army finally arrives on Geonosis and heads for a gladiator-type arena where the villains can be found. Dooku, Poggle and Nute Gunray watch secretly from above as the Jedi stream into the arena. The villains unleash their droid army on the Jedi. A dinosaur-like creature called the Reek also enters the battle. The battle rages furiously between the Jedi and machines. Jango Fett enters the arena to take out as many Jedi as he can. Jango and Mace Windu go head-to-head in a bone-crushing mega-duel.

The droid army is largely destroyed by the powerful Jedi army. However, many, many Jedi lose their lives in the skirmish. In the melee, Windu slashes at Jango's head and manages to decapitate Jango. Jango is no more. Boba Fett witnesses Jango's death and swears to avenge his father's death. Anakin arrives and meets up with Obi-Wan. Padme is rescued from the villains.

As always, a Star Wars movie features at least one duel between the Jedi Knights and the Sith Lords. Near the end of the film, Anakin and Obi-Wan confront Darth Tyranus, who turns out to be Count Dooku. The fighting is extremely intense and it looks as though Tyranus will win the battle when he causes an extremely heavy object to fall on Obi-Wan and Anakin. Out of nowhere, Yoda arrives and uses the Force to push Tyranus from the platform where the battle is taking place. Yoda raises the heavy object off of Obi-Wan and Anakin. Tyranus has no other choice, but to flee. Tyranus then heads to Coruscant to meet with Sidious.

Realizing that they are madly in love, Anakin and Padme decide to marry and head for Naboo.

Back on Coruscant, the Jedi Council meets to discuss what has transpired. Only Yoda, Mace Windu, Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi from the Council survive Episode 2. The rest of the Council members are killed during the fighting that takes place.

The film then cuts to Anakin and Padme's wedding ceremony on Naboo.

The film comes to an end as we watch Palpatine, Bail Organa, Jar Jar and others watch thousands of Republic clones being loaded on starships to fight in what will become the Clone Wars.

Actually, in reading that through that again now, I'm even more convinced that it is "real". Stuff the the "Dearth Tyranious" name is only begining to be rumored now, six months after I was sent that. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

Hopefully it'll be even better than episode 1-which was absolutely fantastic!!

Ewan McGregor did well, as did Liam Neeson (who will return as Qui-Gon in Episode 2!!)
