[Fade in: Qui-Gon in front of a market in Naboo.]

"Greetings, this is Qui-Gon Jinn for Energizer Batt'ries(R)."

"If you happen to be like my padawan, you may find yourself doing flaky things like leaving your lightsabre on, allowing it to short out in the swamplands, so then when the battle droids are shooting at you while you run through the woods, you have no way of defending yourself and have to rely on your Master."

[Obi-Wan sorta gets in Qui-Gon's face with a furrowed brow.]

"Master, you are always telling me that I have much to learn. Perhaps it's not yet time for you to take on a new padawan learner." He says this with a rather matter-of-fact voice.

[Qui-Gon has that look of...indignance?]

"I will do what I must, Obi-Wan."

[Obi-Wan rolls his eyes, with a bit of smirk.]

"But Master Yoda said --"

[Qui-Gon, rather amusedly, yet somewhat impatiently, sighs and gently pushes Obi-Wan off stage.]

"This is not a commercial about Master Yoda. Now that should be enough for you."

[Qui-Gon turns his attention back to the camera.]

As I was saying, if you happen to need to supply power to your shorted-out lightsabre, choose Energizer Batt'ries. They keep going and going. And remember - be mindful of the living Force of the batt'ry."

[fade to black, and then the following text centered on the screen in white:]

"Profits made by this commercial go to the Jedi Academy where defying the code isn't merely a job - it's an adventure."

[A moment after the Jedi slogan appears, Master Yoda's voice, offstage:]

BAH!
