'ATTACK' AT 20 - GUILTY OF ESPIONAGE!


Her diplomatic bid to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi failed, and having turned down Count Dooku's scheming proposal offer of Naboo to join the Separatist cause, Senator Padme Amidala and her Jedi protector have now been sentenced to death within the Geonosian arena, in a deleted scene cut for time and pace reasons from EPISODE II.

Padme and Anakin hear the grim verdict amidst an audience of evil.



Count Dooku and his Separatist allies watch the judgement.

The sentence of death is declared by Poggle the Lesser.

"What is happening here is not government that has been bought out by business... it's a business becoming government."

Brought to Dooku, Anakin watches as Padme tries to engage in diplomacy with Dooku so as to release them and the already captured Obi-Wan Kenobi.


The discussion soon comes to naught and our heroes are taken away for show trial.
