Anakin's Dream on the Refugee Freighter

This is an extended scene of Anakin and Padmé's trip on the Refugee Freighter.

INT. STARFREIGHTER, STEERAGE HOLD - DAY

A great, gloomy hold is crowded with Emigrants and their belongings. To one side Artoo is coming to the head of a food line, holding two bowls. With one of his little claw-arms, he grabs a chunk of something that looks like bread.

Artoo slips a little tube into a tub of mush and sucks up a large quantity. A server sees him.

SERVER
Hey! No Droids!

Artoo takes one last big suck and heads away from the food line. The server shouts after him angrily. The little droid moves past groups of eating or sleeping Emigrants and comes to where Anakin is sound asleep. The young Jedi seems to be having a nightmare. He is very restless.

ANAKIN
No, no, Mom, no…

He is sweating. Padmé leans over to wipe some of the sweat from his forehead. He wakes with a start, then realizes where he is. Padmé simply looks at him. He stares back, somewhat confused.

ANAKIN (continuing)
What?

PADMÉ
You seemed to be having 
a nightmare.

Anakin looks at Padmé a little more closely, trying to see if he revealed any of his secrets. She hands him a bowl of mush and bread.

PADMÉ (continuing)
Are you hungry?

ANAKIN
Yeah.

Padmé takes the food from Artoo and sets it on a make-shift table. Anakin rises and takes a seat as she places a bowl in front of him.

ANAKIN
Thanks

PADMÉ
We went to lightspeed a while ago.

Anakin looks into Padmé's eyes.

ANAKIN
I look forward to seeing Naboo again. I've thought about it every day since I left. It's by far the most beautiful place I've ever seen...

Padmé is a little unnerved by his intense stare.

PADMÉ
It may not be as you remember it; time changes your perception.

ANAKIN
Sometimes it does… Sometimes for the better.

PADMÉ
It must be difficult having sworn your life to the Jedi...not being able to visit the places you like...or do the things you like...

ANAKIN
Or be with the people I love.

PADMÉ
Are you allowed to love? I thought it was forbidden for a Jedi.

ANAKIN
Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life, so you might say we're encouraged to love.

PADMÉ
You have changed so much.

ANAKIN
You haven't changed a bit. You're exactly the way I remember you in my dreams. I doubt if Naboo has changed much either.

PADMÉ
It hasn't…

There is an awkward moment.

PADMÉ (changing the subject)
You were dreaming about your mother earlier, weren't you?

ANAKIN
Yes… I left Tatooine so long ago, my memory of her is fading. I don't want to lose it. Recently I've been seeing her in my dreams… vivid dreams… scary dreams. I worry about her.

Padmé gives Anakin a sympathetic look.
