:26:01
Your Highness?
:26:05
Your Highness...
:26:07
Senator Palpatine has been nominated
to succeed Valorum...
:26:11
as supreme chancellor.
:26:12
A surprise, to be sure,
but a welcome one.
:26:16
Your Majesty, if I am elected,
I promise to put an end to corruption.
:26:20
Who else has been nominated?
:26:22
Bail Antilles of Alderaan
and Ainlee Teem of Malastare.
:26:26
I feel confident our situation will
create a strong sympathy vote for us.
:26:32
I will be chancellor.
:26:35
I fear by the time you have control
of the bureaucrats, Senator...
:26:37
there'll be nothing left
of our people, our way of life.
:26:40
I understand your concern,
your Majesty.
:26:42
Unfortunately, the Federation
has possession of our planet.
:26:47
Senator, this is your arena.
:26:51
I feel I must return to mine.
:26:56
I've decided to go back to Naboo.
:26:59
Go back?
:27:00
But, your Majesty, be realistic.
They'll force you to sign the treaty.
:27:03
I will sign no treaty, Senator.
:27:05
My fate will be no different
than that of our people.
:27:08
- Captain.
- your Highness.
:27:09
- Ready my ship.
- Please, your Majesty.
:27:12
Stay here where it's safe.
:27:15
It is clear to me now that
the Republic no longer functions.
:27:19
I pray you will bring sanity
and compassion back to the senate.
:27:32
The Force is strong with him.
:27:35
He is to be trained, then?
:27:38
No, he will not be trained.
:27:41
No?
:27:44
He is too old.
:27:47
He is the chosen one.
you must see it.
:27:51
Clouded this boy's future is.
:27:57
I will train him, then.
