EXT. A CONVENTION CENTER --DAY

A sign out front reads: "Star Wars Celebration II"

CUT TO:

INT. A CROWDED EXHIBIT HALL

Many adults, mainly grown men dressed as various "Star Wars" characters, pack the room and look towards a platform with a podium on it. Suddenly, the ANNOUNCER walks onto the platform, dressed as Yoda, and a hush falls over the room.

Voice in the crowd: "We want Padme!"

The roucous crowd agrees.

Announcer: "Okay, okay, don't get your lightsabers in a bundle. Natalie will be out in a few moments. Please, make her feel welcome and no bantha poodo like at the last Celebration. With that note, I am proud to introduce Ms. Natalie Portman!"

CUT TO:

NATALIE PORTMAN and the SECURITY GUARD walk-out to roaring applause and cat calls from the crowd.

Crowd: "Padme! Padme! Padme!"

The SECURITY GUARD motions to the crowd to settle down, and after a few seconds they do. NATALIE PORTMAN flashes a charming smile.

Natalie Portman: "Hello everyone. I would like to thank everyone for coming today. I hope everyone enjoyed Episode II."

There is an odd pause as both parties await the other to start talking.

Geek #1: (shouting) "Let's see 'em!"

Crowd: "Yeah!"

NATALIE gets a confused look on her face.

Natalie Portman: "Excuse me?"

Security Guard: "I'll take care of this Ms. Portman....What they mean are your... pokies."

The CROWD roars.

NATALIE still looks confused. Then the SECURITY GUARD whispers in her ear; NATALIE quickly gets an embarassed look on your face.

Geek #2: "Yeah, you know it Portman! Tight-white jumpsuit in the movie. Did they forget Carrie Fisher's anti-jiggle tape or something?"

Geek #1: "Nah, George Lucas is an old pervert like Walt Disney was..."

After a few seconds of confusion, the CROWD agrees and laughs.

Natalie Portman: "Um...wow, I didn't expect to be met with this type of crowd. I mean..."

Security Guard: "You're right ma'am, its all my fault.....now let's see them!"

The CROWD lets up another roar.

Natalie Portman: (raising her voice) "Listen up. If you can get off on some mundane detail like that, then I fear for your social life. I did not come here...."

Geek #2: "...'to discuss this in a commitee!"

The CROWD laughs and slaps high-fives with each other.

Geek #1: "But anyways...she admitted it! Hey guys, she admitted it!"

the CROWD starts cheering and letting out cat-calls.

The SECURITY GUARD is chanting too. NATALIE shoots him a glare and he abruptly stops.

Natalie Portman: "This is ridiculous, I'm out of here. Management will here about this."

Geek #2: "What's your next movie? I wanna come down to the set and crank up the AC"

NATALIE storms off the stage.

Security Guard: "You guys were great!"

NATALIE pulls him off the stage and the CROWD quiets down.

Geek #1: "Eh, we tried. Let's get in line for Episode III."

The CROWD starts for the doors.
