So we all know the Star Wars prequels could have been so much better. Well I decided I could write a better love story than George Lucas did, and this is my attempt at it. Here you'll see I've only focused on scenes between Anakin and Padmé, and a f...
This was a toughy because Padmé is in critical condition so she's not in fight mode nor is she with the others. So I had to change the part where she falls. In the movie, she falls out and becomes unconscious. She lays on her back, sand all up in her wounds, having fallen like 3 stories out the sky, but gets up and runs as if nothing ever happened. In the script, Anakin whines "put the ship down!" but then, Obi Wan, after insisting on forgetting her, assures him "no look, she's ok!" As Padmé fricken waves to signal that she is ok. BRUH! I mean, maybe she can be a super human, but I'd rather make her realistic. It was just stupid. _________________________
MACE WINDU, OBI-WAN, ANAKIN, and the large exhausted group of JEDI stand in the center of the arena surrounded by a ring of BATTLE DROIDS. The sand around them is strewn with the bodies of GEONOSIANS, shattered DROIDS and few JEDI. ANAKIN peers over at PADMÉ, now standing near the center with two female Jedi, AAYLA SECURA and SHAAK TI. She has no color in her. He cannot make any sudden movement, he can only watch as she tries to keep herself together, but drops the blaster and falls to her hands and knees. The two Jedi help her back up, and she stands leaned forward slightly.
KI-ADI-MUNDI and the raiding party are herded into the arena by SUPER BATTLE DROIDS. From the encircling tiers above, BATTLE DROIDS level their weapons.
In the archducal box, COUNT DOOKU lifts his hand. The DROIDS lower their weapons.
COUNT DOOKU Master Windu!
The arena is silenced. WINDU slowly looks up to him.
COUNT DOOKU continuing. You have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the history archives of the Jedi Order. But now...it is finished. Surrender, and your lives will be spared.

MACE WINDU We will not be hostages for you to barter with, Dooku!
COUNT DOOKU Then I'm terribly sorry, old friend...
The DROIDS level their weapons again. ANAKIN and PADMÉ make agonized eye contact. COUNT DOOKU raises his hand to give the order.
Above, six Gunships are descending fast through the open area in the arena ceiling. They land in a cluster around the handful of JEDI. CLONE TROOPERS spill out and start firing at the DROIDS. There is a hellstorm of laserfire that bounces off the laser shields created by the Gunships. YODA appears at the door of one of the Gunships that has landed before WINDU.

YODA Hurry!
The surviving JEDI dash to the Gunships and scramble in. OBI WAN grabs ANAKIN by the arm and they jump aboard one as WINDU joins YODA. He hangs on tight as the Gunship, firing all its weapons, rises out of the arena up and over the topmost rim.
ANAKIN, still fixated on PADMÉ struggles to find her in the chaos, but finally spots her being carried to a Gunship by AAYLA and SHAAK TI. As they ascend, he sees her lain on her stomach and shielded on either side by the two JEDI.
ANAKIN No wait, what are they doing with Padmé, I need to go back for her!
OBI WAN Anakin, she is not of your concern right now!
ANAKIN I can't leave her! We have to get her back to the starship!
Their gunship has already hovered past the arena and now flies over the battlefield of DROIDS and CLONES. They see a Geonosian Speeder racing past. In the open cockpit is the unmistakable figure of COUNT DOOKU.
OBI-WAN Don't let that speeder out of your sight, after it!
ANAKIN looks behind them, in the direction where the gunship carrying PADMÉ went. He is angered.
OBI-WAN Anakin, you and I have a mission of our own! She is being taken care of, don't let your personal feelings get in the way! Remember your place!
ANAKIN grips the handle above him and shuts his eyes, hoping that she gets to safety as soon as possible.

MACE WINDU stares at the incredible war below as he and YODA zip past.
YODA More battalions to the left! Encircle them we must, then divide!
The CLONE TROOPERS open fire with artillery. EXPLOSIONS wreck the parked Battle Starships. CLONE TROOPERS advance, firing at the massed DROIDS. FIGHTER DROIDS fly overhead, exchanging fire with the Gunships and JEDI fighters.
