The conversation between Teal'c and the Colonel was interrupted by a man wielding a lightsaber and cutting off the arm of the woman behind him. O'Neill stood in surprise and the Jaffa followed suit.

Sam and Daniel were nearby and noticed the disturbance. They were in shock as a younger man said, "Jedi business. Go back to your drinks."

The older Jedi began picking up the woman, and Daniel spotted his friends at a table nearby. He turned to Sam noticed she was still observing the Jedi master. He lightly tapped her on the arm and motioned toward Teal'c and Jack.

When they reached their friends, Daniel asked, "Jack, what's going on?"

"I was hoping you might know."

"Sir, it appears that we're actually inside the Star Wars movie. Of course, we can't be, because that's simply impossible. It could be some kind of virtual reality or maybe an alien induced shared dementia," Carter offered.

"So, how do we get out of here?" O'Neill demanded.

"We could try tapping our heals together," Daniel joked quietly. This got a few annoyed and confused looks from the rest of the team, and Daniel elaborated with, "There's no place like..." The expressions didn't disappear from his friends faces, so he finished with a weak, "...home," as he crossed his arms and turned his attention toward the floor.

"There is no apparent method of escape at this time," Teal'c observed.

O'Neill looked at his second in command for confirmation. "He's right... as far as I can tell anyway."

"Peachy," the Colonel grumbled.

"Maybe the Jedi could give us some information," Carter suggested.

"Seems like as good a plan as any. They went that way. Come on," O'Neill ordered, and the team jogged in the direction of the exit that Obi-Wan and Anakin had taken.

As they stepped outside, they saw the two Jedi leaning over the body of a rather unattractive alien creature wearing the clothes of the assassin. The Jedi immediately sensed the group and turned to see who approached.

"Greetings, friends. Whom do we have the pleasure of addressing?" inquired Obi-Wan.

"Luke Sky...," halfway through Jack's typical smart-ass remark to that question, he realized who he was talking to. The name Skywalker would probably raise quite of bit of suspicion in the two men.

"I'm Daniel Jackson. This is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, and Teal'c." Daniel shot Jack a look of contempt. "Let me apologize for my comrade's feeble attempt at humor."

The two Jedi looked puzzled, and Obi-Wan replied, "Though I do not get the joke, there was no harm done. I am..."

Daniel cut him off, "Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and this is your Padawan Anakin Skywalker."

A small flicker of surprise passed over the Jedi's face, "I fear you have me at an advantage. You seem to know me, yet I fear I have never before met any of your number."

Sam tried to listen to the conversation, but she could feel the younger Jedi's attention focused directly on her.

"Yes, that's true. We..." Daniel was interrupted mid-sentence as Sam suddenly became uncomfortable under Anakin's gaze.

"What?" she almost shouted at him. Everyone turned to look at her.

"I am sorry for staring," Skywalker apologized. "It is just that..." Everyone could now see the reason for his interest. His voice became quieter and inquisitive, "...you have my name posted across your chest."

Sam looked embarrassed as Kenobi looked quizzically at all of them. "Yeah... um... there's a good reason for that," she stammered.

"Look," Daniel interrupted, saving his friend from further embarrassment, "it's a long story. Maybe we can all go some place where we can explain."

*******************************

SG-1 had explained their current situation and their inability to remedy their problem. Kenobi had also explained, in limited detail, the situation he was currently in. SG-1 had discussed the matter, and Daniel convinced Jack of the possibility that they might not simply be inside of a movie and that there may actually be people who needed their help. Carter had agreed, saying that the only way to get out might be to play along. Jack had then informed Obi-Wan that they would assist in any way they could.

The team had changed into more suitable attire per Obi-Wan's recommendation. He had advised them, and Daniel had agreed, that they would be more easily accepted from everyone in Coruscant if they wore the style of the time. Sam welcomed the change; she could only imagine how the rest of the Jedi would react to the name of one of their own written on her shirt.

SG-1 now followed Obi-Wan and Anakin through the corridor of the Jedi Temple.

"Come on, can I play with it?" Jack begged Anakin once again to let him use his lightsaber and received a blank look in response. "Please?" He was met again by silence. "Pretty please?"

"A Jedi's weapon is his life. It is not a toy," the young man lectured.

"You will wait here until I have finished speaking with the Council. Then, if they wish, you will be allowed an audience," Obi-Wan informed them.

"Wonderful," the Colonel mumbled as the Jedi left them. "We'll be right here if you need us," he called out as they moved farther away.

Kenobi and Skywalker entered into the center of the chamber where thirteen other Jedi were seated in a large circle. They informed the Council of what had transpired with the assassin and were ready to receive their instructions for taking care of the situation.

"Track down this bounty hunter you must, Obi-Wan," Master Yoda stated.

"Most importantly," Windu added, "find out who's he's working for."

"What about Senator Amidala? She will still need protecting," Kenobi added.

"Handle that your Padawan will," Yoda commanded.

"Anakin, escort the Senator back to her home planet of Naboo," instructed Windu. "She'll be safer there. And don't use registered transport. Travel as refugees."

Anakin mentioned that it would be difficult to convince Amidala to leave the capital since she led the opposition. However, Windu told Anakin to ask Chancellor Palpatine to persuade her.

"Master Yoda, there is another matter which we must discuss," Obi-Wan began.

"Speak of it you may," Yoda encouraged him.

"My Padawan and I were approached today by four individuals." Obi-Wan recounted for the Council everything that SG-1 had told him. When he finished, he gave his opinion of the group, "I sense that they speak the truth, and that they may be able to assist us, yet two of them are clouded by the dark side. I seek the Council's advise in this matter."

"Send them in you must. See we shall."

Anakin exited the room, and moments later, he followed SG-1 as they entered. Obi-Wan motioned the group to the center as he introduced them. Yoda then inquired, "What is this 'movie' of which Obi-Wan says we are a part?"

Carter explained, "It's a popular form of entertainment where we come from. A series of images are projected on a screen so rapidly that it creates the illusion of continuous motion. Sound is added with the images in order to form a story. We were watching your story, when suddenly we became a part of it."

"Most interesting," Yoda observed.

"You wouldn't happen to know how to get us out of here?" O'Neill asked.

"Afraid I do not know I am."

"Master Kenobi has stated that he believes your group may be of assistance to us," Windu added. "Do you have anything to add along these lines?"

Daniel answered, "Simply that we'll help in any way we can. However, our primary goal is to find a way out of this situation, and we would appreciate your help as well... if possible."

"Very well," Windu spoke. "You may exit the chamber. Master Kenobi will inform you of our decision once we have finished convening."

SG-1 exited the room, then Obi-Wan and Anakin returned to the center of the circle. Yoda confirmed Kenobi's perceptions, "Correct you were. Powerful these are, yet surrounded by the dark side they seem."

"Anakin, take the one called Daniel Jackson with you to protect the Senator. He is very far from the dark side, and I sense that he is wise. He will be able to assist you," Windu instructed. "Obi-Wan, take O'Neill on your search. I sense that he has much hidden wisdom as well. Leave the others here."

"Mysterious the nature of those two is. Watch them we must. Observe their clouds we shall."

Kenobi and Skywalker bowed and exited the Council chamber. As they walked through the door, Anakin whispered to his master, "I don't need assistance. I am perfectly capable of handling this on my own."

"Anakin, the Council has decided. We will obey their wishes," he spoken definitively, letting the younger man know that the discussion had ended. "Daniel," Kenobi said as they approached the team, "you will accompany Anakin in order to protect the Senator of Naboo."

"Wait a minute. I'm not sending any of my people off alone," Jack interjected.

"Jack, come on. We're safe. They're Jedi," argued Daniel.

"This could be a Goa'uld trick, Daniel," Carter warned.

"I honestly think I'll be fine," Daniel stated and without any further objections, he left with Anakin.

"O'Neill, you will accompany me. Carter and Teal'c, you are to remain here. But first, I must attend to another matter. I will have someone show you to a place where you will be comfortable until my return." Kenobi then sought out Yoda and Windu to discuss with them the arrogance that his Padawan had begun displaying.
