170 INT GEONOSIS SECRET HANGAR TOWER ? LATE DAY
Count Dooku throws switches on a control panel. His Interstellar Sail Ship is parked nearby.
ANAKIN: ?You´re going to pay for all the Jedi you killed today, Dooku.?
OBI-WAN (to Anakin): ?We´ll take him together ? you go in slowly on the??
ANAKIN: ?No, I?m taking him now!?
OBI-WAN: ?Anakin, no!?
Anakin charges across the open space at Count Dooku, who smiles faintly, watching him come. Anakin raises his lightsaber. At the last moment, Count Dooku thrusts out an arm and unleashes a blast of Force lightning. Anakin is hurled across the room, and slammed into the opposite wall. He slumps to the foot of the wall, semi-conscious. Count Dooku moves toward Obi-Wan.
COUNT DOOKU: ?As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours.?
OBI-WAN: ?I don?t think so.?
Obi-Wan lifts his lightsaber. Count Dooku smiles and ignites his lightsaber.
Obi-Wan comes in fast, swinging at Count Dooku?s head. Dooku parries the cut easily. As they fight, it quickly becomes clear that Dooku is the complete swordsman ? elegant, graceful, classical ? a master of the old style.
COUNT DOOKU: ?Come, come, Master Kenobi. Put me out of my misery.?
Obi-Wan takes a deep breath, gets a fresh grip on his lightsaber, and comes in again. For a moment, he drives Count Dooku back. Then Dooku?s superior skill begins to tell again, and he forces Obi-Wan to retreat.
Count Dooku increases the tempo of his attack. Obi-Wan is pushed to the limit to defend himself. Dooku presses. His lightsaber flashes.
Obi-Wan is wounded in the shoulder, then the thigh. He stumbles back against the wall, trips, and falls. His lightsaber goes skittering across the floor.
Count Dooku raises his lightsaber. Obi-Wan looks up at him helplessly. Dooku?s lightsaber flashes down and clashes against ? Anakin?s lightsaber! Count Dooku and Anakin stare eyeball to eyeball.
COUNT DOOKU: ?That's brave of you, boy - but foolish. I would have thought you'd have learned your lesson.?
ANAKIN: ?I?m a slow learner.?
And Anakin charges at Count Dooku. The force of his attack catches the Count slightly off balance. Anakin?s lightsaber flashes. Count Dooku draws back.
COUNT DOOKU: ?You have unusual powers, young Padawan. But not enough to save you this time.?
ANAKIN: ?Don?t bet on it!?
OBI-WAN: ?Anakin!?
Obi-Wan uses the Force to catch his lightsaber and he tosses it to Anakin. With two lightsabers, Anakin attacks. Count Dooku parries and ripostes. It?s no contest. Anakin is driven back against the wall. He loses one lightsaber. Finally Count Dooku, in one flashing move, sends Anakin?s arm, cut at the elbow, flying still gripping his lightsaber. Anakin drops to the ground in agony. Count Dooku draws himself up to deliver the coup de grace.
Suddenly, through the thick smoke, emerges the heroic figure of Yoda. He stops on the smoke-filled threshold.
Silence. Count Dooku steps away from Anakin to face the Jedi Grand Master.
COUNT DOOKU: ?Master Yoda.?
YODA: ?Count Dooku.?
COUNT DOOKU: ?You have interfered with our plans for the last time.?
Count Dooku levitates machinery, hurling it at the tiny figure of the Jedi Master. Yoda recovers and deflects the machinery. Count Dooku then causes great boulders in the ceiling above Yoda to fall, and again, Yoda deflects the boulders which fall around him. Yoda deflects Force lightning thrown at him by the enraged Count Dooku.
YODA: ?Powerful you have become, Dooku. The dark side I sense in you.?
COUNT DOOKU: ?I have become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you, my old Master.?
Count Dooku continues to hurl Force lightning at Yoda, who deflects every blast.
YODA: ?Much to learn you still have.?
COUNT DOOKU: ? It is obvious this contest will not be decided by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skills with a lightsaber.?
Count Dooku whirls his lightsaber in a formal salute. Yoda draws his lightsaber. Suddenly, Count Dooku charges across the space at Yoda. He rains down blows upon the tiny figure. Yoda doesn?t budge an inch. For the first part of the contest, he parries every cut and thrust that Dooku aims. Nothing the great swordsman tries gets through. His energy drains. His strokes become more feeble, slower.
Yoda attacks! He flies forward. Count Dooku is forced to retreat. Words are insufficient to describe the range and skill of Yoda?s speed and swordplay. His lightsaber is a humming blur of light. Finally, their blades cross and the fighting slows.
YODA: ?Fought well, you have, my old Padawan.?
COUNT DOOKU: ?The battle is far from over. This is just the beginning.?
Then, with all his might, Count Dooku uses the Force to pull on one of the cranes in the hangar. It comes crashing down toward Obi-Wan and Anakin. Anakin wakes. But in the blink of an eye, Anakin and Obi-Wan attempt to hold up the crane, using the Force. Yoda closes his eyes and concentrates, adding his strength to the two fallen Jedi and moves to crane aside. Count Dooku runs up the ship´s ramp, throwing a look back before doing inside.
The sound of the Sail Ship´s engines are heard starting up.
Dooku?s Sail Ship takes off. Obi-Wan and Anakin struggle to the exhausted Yoda, but it?s too late. The Sail Ship rises into the air and flies away.
Wobei ich bei dieser Version glaube, dass er von Del Ray editiert wurde und nicht dem tatsächlichen letzten Draft entspricht.
Zu den kämpfen muss ich sagen, dass anscheinend sie GL in einem größeren Kontext, als wenn man alle SW Filme bertachtet, aufbaut.
In EP1 ist der LS Kampf noch sehr unpersönlich.
In EP2 wird er etwas persönlicher.
In EP3 wird wohl ein Übergang zwischen dem etwas persönlicherern LS Kampf, zum nur noch persönlichen Kampf geben, so wie er in EP4-6 ist.
