Aloha!
The other day, someone I know buzzed this along to me saying this is parts from the script of Episode 3. So I thought I'd share it with fellow fans. Anyway, It could be fake or not--Judge for your selves.
The first section is quotes from this ''supposed'' script. Next will be a script part for the beginning and other sections--enjoy.

SCRIPT
TITLE CARD : A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
EXT. SPACE
A vast sea of stars serves as a backdrop for the Main Title, followed by a rollup, which crawls into infinity.
The Great Clone War rages though the Galaxy
Count Dooku’s separatists and the
Republic’s clone army fight for
Domination over the vast frontiers of space
As Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
Investigates corruption in the Republic Senate
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine calls for
The expansion into neighboring star systems
Provoking tribal warlords into battle
The Council fears for the stability of
The Republic and sends a small contingent
Of Jedi to mediate between the warring factions
Hoping to stabilize the war torn region
PAN DOWN to reveal a remote planet. Several Republic clone fighters speed OVER CAMERA and UNDER CAMERA toward it, spiraling into a giant space battle as they collide head-on with enemy fighters.
A squadron of Jedi fighters approaches from above.
INT. JEDI STARFIGHTER - COCKPIT – SPACE
From the cockpit, the PILOT looks at the battle below.
EXT. JEDI STARFIGHTERS - SPACE (FX)
The squadron heads in a strict formation towards a large space station.
INT. JEDI STARFIGHTER - COCKPIT – SPACE
The PILOT looks at a REPUBLIC COMMANDER on his view screen.
REPUBLIC COMMANDER: We're honored by your presence, Master Jedi. The governor awaits your arrival.
EXT. SPACE STATION - SPACE (FX)
The squadron enters the space station’s enormous docking bay.
INT. SPACE STATION - DOCKING BAY – SPACE
A tall figure strides towards the Jedi as they climb out of their cockpits.
INT. SPACE STATION - DOCKING BAY – SPACE (cont.)
The JEDI are dressed in dark red uniforms. The tall man, JOORG, welcomes them. Jedi Master OBI-WAN KENOBI takes a bow.
JOORG: Master Obi-Wan, we are honored to have you with us. Please, follow me. The governor is waiting.
He motions for OBI-WAN KENOBI to follow him. OBI-WAN turns to the other Jedi.
OBI-WAN: This won’t take long.
The Jedi nod to OBI-WAN. OBI-WAN follows JOORG.
INT. SPACE STATION - CONFERENCE ROOM
GOVERNOR TARKIN, a tall thin man with aristocratic features, and four officers, ADMIRAL SHEK, COMMANDER ZAMORA, COMMANDER VITH and COMMANDER HOSS are seated at a large round table. OBI-WAN KENOBI sits on the opposite side. Clonetroopers stand guard around the room.
OBI-WAN: As an officer of the Republic and a representative of the Jedi Council, I encourage you to grant the Aachan ambassador a safe passage to Coruscant. We are here to negotiate peace, not to enforce it.
GOVERNOR TARKIN: Master Jedi, with all due respect. I’m a fervent supporter of the Jedi Council but your peace-negotiations have so-far been rather unsuccessful. Rebel forces, equipment, and facilities are located at more than 15.000 sites throughout the system. If we do not come up with a strategic plan soon I fear that we might not be able to stop the offensive. The result can proof fatal to Coruscant and to the Republic.
OBI-WAN: I understand your concern, governor. However, seeing that millions of lives hang in the balance we can not risk a civil war in this system. I suggest an immediate ceasefire and an end to all military operations.
ADMIRAL SHEK becomes irritated.
ADMIRAL SHEK: How can we negotiate peace with tyrants that already declared ruthless war against us? This strategy is pointless. I don’t see why we have to be subject to…
GOVERNOR TARKIN: Please, Admiral. Let the Jedi finish.
OBI-WAN nods to TARKIN.
MASTER JEDI: Thank you, governor. A truce can give us the time to escort the ambassador to Coruscant where he can take his case to the Senate.
COMMANDER HOSS: If these rebels are acknowledged by the Senate, it might encourage them to fight much harder and with more resolve.
OBI-WAN: The ambassador will be notified that refusal to cooperate with the ceasefire agreement is in violation with the Senate’s ruling.
GOVERNOR TARKIN nods his head in approval.
GOVERNOR TARKIN: Diplomacy should run its course, gentlemen. Master Kenobi, you have our full support.
INT. SPACE STATION - CONFERENCE ROOM (cont.)
OBI-WAN gets up, takes a deep bow and leaves the room.
ADMIRAL SHEK is furious.
ADMIRAL SHEK: This is a mistake. Taking a rebel leader to Coruscant to gain support will leave us vulnerable not only to attacks from the separatists; it might whip up a backlash amongst the bureaucrats!
GOVERNOR TARKIN remains unruffled.
TARKIN: There won’t be a backlash, admiral. The Senate is firmly under control.
HOSS: But governor Tarkin, these Jedi…
TARKIN: Enough. I suggest you follow orders. Command your ships back to base immediately.
COMMANDER HOSS looks startled.
HOSS: Yes, governor.
TARKIN: Very good. Gentlemen, you are dismissed.
All officers rise up and walk out of the conference room followed by several guards. ADMIRAL SHEK is visibly frustrated.
INT. SPACE STATION - DOCKING BAY - SPACE
The Jedi starfighters exit the docking bay as JOORG watches on.
EXT. SPACE STATION – SPACE
The Jedi starfighters exit the docking bay and roar away from the station.
INT. JEDI STARFIGHTER - COCKPIT – SPACE
The JEDI look on as the Republic fighters and Rebel ships break off the fight.
JEDI PILOT: Look! The fighting has stopped.
The Republic fighters race towards the camera and soar over head to the space station at breakneck speed.
INT. JEDI STARFIGHTER - COCKPIT – SPACE (cont.)
OBI-WAN: The rebels are headed for that moon. Arfour, transmit the clearance code to this location.
OBI-WAN throws a switch on his control panel. Seconds later an orange light flickers. R4 BEEPS loudly.
OBI-WAN: I see there's a great deal of interference.
INT. JEDI STARFIGHTER - COCKPIT – SPACE (cont.)
OBI-WAN handles a few more buttons and switches. After several more seconds the light turns green, much to OBI-WAN's relief.
OBI-WAN: We may proceed. Be ready for landing procedure.
The SQUADRON speeds OVER CAMERA and makes a sharp left turn as they close in on the small moon.
INT. SPACE STATION – CONTROL ROOM
In the control room, GOVERNOR TARKIN and COMMANDER VITH stand behind CONTROLLERS working a large control panel. Monitors are filled with various computer readouts. A CONTROLLER reports to COMMANDER VITH.
CONTROLLER: We have their position, sir.
COMMANDER VITH looks over at GOVERNOR TARKIN. The commander looks very tense. TARKIN nods slightly.
VITH: Standby and prepare to transfer their signal. All units on the alert.
CONTROLLER: Yes sir.
GOVERNOR TARKIN smiles and folds his arms as the CONTROLLERS continue to press buttons on the control panel.
TARKIN
Senators, esteemed colleagues, citizens of the Republic. I beg the courtesy of your attention.
The rabble dissolves to a murmur as Tarkin continues.
TARKIN (Cont.)
In view of the escalating threat of war, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has been removed to a place of safety. I am honoured to represent him at our administrative heart.
RAMA ROI
This is it! We are rubble! The Republic is doomed!
Tarkin fixes the anxious delegate with an ice-cold stare.
TARKIN (Cont.)
Measures are being taken to secure Coruscant. The Navy is converging in our orbit and our finest battalions preparing to defend the planet.
The Senate quitens as the enevitability of conflict hits home.
TARKIN (Cont.)
And as I speak, the Jedi traitors are being driven from the core worlds. Crack troops will persue them to the ends of the galaxy, and will not stop until every trace of their fiendish dogma has been expunged...
INT. STRONGROOM - ***** ****
Red warning lights flicker into life, casting an eery glow over the droids. Artoo is trundling back and forth impatiently while Threepio reclines on a gurney.
C-3PO
She won't be long, Artoo, do calm down. If you ask me you've spent far too much time in the company of organics and seem to have adopted some of their more unforunate characteristics -- impatience being one.
R2 spits out a 'shut up' raspberry.
C-3PO (Cont.)
And rudeness another! Language straight from the sluice gates of Apino! That sort of talk is not befitting of someone your size!
PADME
You know that I can not countenance your decision. I have faith in the Jedi, I believe in Obi-Wan.
(beat)
I even believe in myself, somehow.
Typho appears at the door which slides open.
CAPTAIN TYPHO
Apologies, but emergency evacuation is underway M'Lady, we must leave immediately. They say the first shield has been breached. It's only a matter of time.
Padme crouches before Anakin as he sits, her gaze is as strong as ever, but her voice is breaking.
PADME
I love you Anakin, but I no longer believe in you.
(beat)
And it's killing me.
EXT. CORUSCANT STREET - DUSK
A maelstom of bodies rushing and panicking beneath a dark sky; heavy purple cloud raked by odd bursts of lightning. As the rain begins Obi-Wan shelters near a cooling vent. He puts a credit into a communicator on the wall and taps in some digits.
OBI-WAN (Shouting over the street noise)
Dex? Is that you?
DEXTER JETTSTER(filtered)
Obi-Wan -- a Jedi on a public intercom? I'd feared the worst.
OBI-WAN
It's a long story. Look, I hate to ask, but...
Obi-Wan pauses as a hologramatic 'wanted' sign bearing his image flickers on the wall opposite, the hairstyle and beard changing moment by moment to show potential disguises. He pulls his hood low over his face.
DEXTER
Hello? You need a ride, no?
OBI-WAN
...Well, that's about the short and long of it.
DEXTER
I'm stuck, I'm afraid -- the in-laws, you understand. Everyone wants away and that means a full house on board the good ship Jettster. But I'll speak to a friend. Make your way to the Eastern Eleven, look for the Ratcatcher.
OBI-WAN
I'll catch up with you someday, Dex, and thank you properly.
DEXTER
Just you get to the Eastern bank.
(beat)
And you might want to scruff yourself up a little... your travelling companions might be a touch more colourful than you're used to.
