The plot of Episode II is a secret. Not a well kept one, but still a secret. If you're avoiding spoilers, here's the most you probably want to know:
- It takes place around 10 years after Episode I.
- Anakin and Padme begin to develop their relationship.
- We discover more about Padme's family and background.
- Anakin returns to Tatooine and meets up with Shmi, Watto, Owen Lars, and Beru Lars.
- We learn the origin of Boba Fett and Stormtroopers.
- Episode II reveals information about the Clone Wars mentioned in A New Hope.
- The film is darker than Episode I and is closer to The Empire Strikes Back.
- Padme and Anakin go off on one adventure while Obi-Wan takes a separate adventure. They all cross paths again in the end.
- Expect return appearances by Yoda, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Mas Amedda, Jar Jar (briefly), R2-D2, C-3PO, and, of course, Palpatine.
- Expect several new bad guys and bounty hunters in this film.
- We return to Coruscant, Naboo, and Tatooine. Expect two new planets.
That's about all that the spoiler free person will want to know at this point.
However, if you're into spoilers, then you'll want to proceed ahead. Ted Smith has taken bits of information posted at TheForce.Net, Aldera.Net, The Virtual Edition, Episode-X, and T-Bone's and compiled what is known as a scriptment. It's presented in script format with bits of dialogue here and there and text descriptions filling in the blanks inbetween. IT IS NOT THE ACTUAL SCRIPT!!! In fact, there are a lot of parts missing to it. It's only a good guess on it based on reliable spy reports. Ted will be keeping this scriptment up to date as new information comes in.
UPDATE - The scriptment has been removed at the request of Lucasfilm. We're sorry if you've come looking for it. Be sure to search our archives for older reports.
