Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a 1999 space opera film. It is the first film of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The film follows with two Jedi Knights, who flee the planet Naboo with the planet's queen Padme Amidala in the hope of finding a peaceful end to a trade dispute. Along the way, the ship must stop for repairs on the planet Tatooine, where the Jedi encounter Anakin Skywalker, a young slave boy who is unusually strong with the Force. When the group returns to Naboo, they realize that the situation is much worse than they thought - the evil Sith Lords have returned.

Finis Valorum:
The chair recognizes the Senator from the sovereign system of Naboo.

Palpatine:
Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the Senate, a tragedy has occurred... which started right here with the taxation of trade routes... and has now engulfed our entire planet... in the oppression of the Trade Federation.

Lott Dod:
This is outrageous! I object to the senator's statements!

Valorum:
The chair does not recognize the senator from the Trade Federation at this time.

Palpatine:
To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of the Naboo, who speaks on our behalf.

Padmé Amidala:
Honorable representatives of the Republic, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The Naboo system has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade...

Dod:
I object! There is no proof! This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth.

Senator Teem:
The Congress of Malastare concurs with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed.

Valorum:
The point...

Mas Amedda:
Excuse me, Chancellor. [whispers to Chancellor Valorum]

Palpatine:
[Whispering to Queen Amidala] Enter the bureaucrats, the true rulers of the Republic. And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear.

Valorum:
The point is conceded. Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?

Padmé:
I will not defer. I've come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now! I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee! If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership.

[The Senators begin arguing over Queen Amidala's decision, as Valorum sits down, stunned]

Mas Amedda:
ORDER!!

Palpatine:
Now they will elect a new Chancellor, a strong Chancellor. One who will not let this tragedy continue.
