I wrote this. It is in no way valid, but tells of what it LIKELY to come ou of the final piece of the puzzle. I hope you enjoy.
Opening. A short thing on Palpatine’s move to kill all ‘primitive’ creatures in the galaxy, including wookees, mon calamari, and gungans, and padme’s pregnancy.
|
|
Padme lands, and is greeted by Palpatine. She is pregnant and angry at palpatine; she tells him naboo is seceding from the republic. Palpatine walks into the door, leaving her on the landing platform. He goes up to his office, where he stands on a holodeck. The form of a Stormtrooper appears. He tells them to concentrate all fire on the droid refinery, and to leave none standing.
|
|
The scene changes to the Stormtrooper’s perspective, and we see him deploy tie bombers onto the huge droid structures, one explodes in a huge boom.
|
|
Obi wan and anakin train, Anakin makes a foolish move, and obi wan scolds him, saying that he defended his choice of marriage, and proposes that they take a little peaceful retreat, to a place of his choice. As obi wan leaves, palpatine enters and reveals to anakin the power he holds in his anger. He invites him to train with him.
|
|
The Jedi council (diminished) discusses the emperor’s rash move, and yoda implies that he may be the sith lord, saying every time he was in his presence, he felt cold, anger. They ask for a volunteer to speak with him, knowing he will most likely be killed. The snake-head guy agrees to it.
|
|
Anakin stands with palpatine in the senate. Palpatine ridicules, tortures, and imprisons some of the alien species in the senate, including Jar Jar, and the guy who screams “order.” To the senators Padme speaks, telling of the emperor’s corruption, in which alderaan and naboo agree to formally secede from the republic, and join the alliance. Palpatine tells anakin this is why democracy is bad. Anakin agrees. Everyone should be made to think the same thing.
|
|
Anakin and Palpatine leave the senate, walking along the elevated “streets” of coruscant, until they reach a large condemned building. Palpatine opens the door, and he and anakin enter. As he closes the door he says, “Now is when you’ll learn the true power of the force. We see a system of tunnels in front of them.
|
|
In the temple, Obi Wan inquires from yoda where his padawan might be, but yoda seeks out with his mind, finding no answer. He says that he may be now seduced by the dark side. Obi wan says he’ll look for him.
|
|
In the darkness of the retreat, Dooku meditates. Palpatine and Anakin walk in. Dooku walks in, pissed that he’s brought another student, especially this one. He storms out and Palpatine tells him he is now to learn of the real power of the force.
|
|
Padme enters obi wan’s apartment and asks him where anakin is. He says he doesn’t know. He steps to window and looks out. He is obviously unhappy that anakin is having a son.
|
|
In the sewer, anakin and…get this…Palpatine spar with lightsabers. Palpatine tells him to release his anger and to dismiss everything you have learned before. He must fall into the darkness to accept the power. Anakin becomes aggressive and suddenly shoots lightning out of his human hand. Palpatine says: Good, now you are ready to fully plunge into the dark side.
|
|
Obi wan watches the sun set with Padme, and they discuss the son. Anakin enters, Obi Wan is enraged. Anakin seems different, and heads over to Padme, completely ignoring his mentor. This irritates obi wan, but he soon regains his calm, taking deep breaths as anakin and Padme discuss their child, and Padme asks him why he seems so…out of place. Anakin says he has found a new level of force power. Obi Wan looks at him suspiciously. Anakin lets go of his wife and says he wishes to go to Sigma Vulcanus. Obi Wan inquires why he wants to go there, but he has already begun his conversation with Padme.
|
|
Obi Wan steps out to catch master windu walking along. Obi Wan inquires about the planet Sigma Vulcanus. Windu says he’s heard of it, but it doesn’t recall where. Obi wan then inquires why when master Tinn died he disappeared, but when Master Qui Gon died, he remained in body. Windu tells him that those that disappear are prepared to die, while those who do not die without knowing they will die remain, and find the path to oneness with the force difficult. Obi Wan leaves, to prepare a shuttle to Sigma Vulcanus.
|
|
Yoda and Mace Windu talk with the snake dude, telling him it is nearly certain he will die at the hands of palpatine. Snakie says he’s ready to die honorably.
|
|
During the night, an obi wan sleep on a couch, and anakin walks by. Suddenly, lights flash and sirens wail. Obi Wan wakes up and asks him where he is going. Before he finishes his sentence, anakin is out the door. Obi wan runs to the hallway, but anakin’s form simply flashes by.
|
|
Obi wan heads to the window to see anakin’s speeder flash by. He leaps in from the balcony. He says hello and asks again where he is going. Anakin says he is going to see his wife, and yells that he is angry the council won’t let the two live together. Obi wan, fatigued and flustered, leaps out of the speeder, onto a building. He enters, then a pod shoots out of the side, heading towards the Jedi Temple’s housing grounds.
|
|
Anakin quickly turns the speeder into the hotel complex. Padme is asleep as he enters. He lies next to her, and she stirs, and awakens. She seems angry with him, and he explodes at her, and lifts a hand to her. Padme yells that he’s changed. Anakin storms out.
|
|
Palpatine’s form appears on his speeder’s control panel. Anakin says that his world is falling apart around him. Palpatine says that he must give up all of this life to become all powerful. Anakin grins.
|
|
The next day, Obi Wan prepares the shuttle for Sigma Vulcanus. Anakin and Padme Walk up. Obi wan tells him he can’t bring Padme along, and he explodes into rage. He says it’s his wife and he needs her to be with him when she has his son(He is not aware of Leia), hopefully any time now. Obi wan reminds him that he is his master, and still has control over him. As Obi Wan walks onto the ship anakin says: For now… Padme leaves anakin with a kiss and he enters the ship. He pouts next to Obi Wan, who is concerned about his anger, and where he’s been going for the past few days. Anakin says he’s been having fun. Obi Wan says having fun isn’t part of the Jedi code. Anakin says: Well, then I’ll change the code.
|
|
In the council chamber, snake dude sits, meditating. Yoda and Windu walk in, and ask him if he’s ready. Snake dude raises his hand, walks up and out of the room.
|
|
The shuttle careens towards Sigma Vulcanus. It lands, and Obi wan removes his three parcels, and anakin his six. Obi wan tells him he carries too much useless stuff, and anakin ignores him. The planet is breathtaking, with lush forests and oddly beautiful wildlife. The shuttle sets down in a huge, grassy field. Obi wan looks off to see gigantic volcanoes, and notices they are almost completely surrounded by lava pools. Anakin chuckles, and sets up a small training area, as Obi Wan goes to the forest to meditate. The shuttle lifts off, and Obi Wan says, “see, now there’s no way off, you’re stuck here.” He chuckles, but anakin doesn’t, and Obi Wan frowns. As obi wan leaves, Anakin slashes his light saber, destroying the training drone, and begins sending a transmission to coruscant. Palpatine’s form appears on a small platform where he says he must find the Kaiburr Crystal, and touch it to fully fall into absolute power.
|
|
Mace windu solemnly searches the Jedi archive for any trace of Sigma Vulcanus. He suddenly pulls up info, and begins to read about the Splinter of the Mind’s eye, and the great evil it holds. He says “I have to contact Obi Wan!” He uses his hand transmitter to contact him, to no avail. He says he must be near a volcano or something. Yoda enters. He says “grave news I have for you.” Windu asks if Snake Dude had died. Yoda says no, but he will soon. He brings Windu to the window and points him in the direction of the emperor’s palace. He closes his eyes, and suddenly feels incredible evil. Yoda says he must save snake dude, because they already know of Palpatine’s evil.
|
|
Alas, it is too late for snake dude(Kit fitso is his name). He is already in council with palpatine, and they discuss the Jedi’s feelings about different things.
|
|
Mace and Yoda stand in the docking bay of the Jedi temple, where there are no speeders. Mace says they obviously have to walk. He prepares a backpack for yoda, but he says he can walk himself.
|
|
On Sigma Vulcanus, Obi wan climbs down a canyon, where he discovers a splinter of the mind’s eye(Kaiburr Crystal). He picks it up, and as he does he screams and convulses. He drops it into the lava, where it engulfs in black fire. Obi wan leaps out of the pool, and runs back to the camp, knowing what is going on. Meanwhile, a splinter of the mind’s eye appears in the camp, rising from a similar pool of black fire, and anakin picks it up. He goes into convulsions, but soon controls them, and there is incredible evil in his eyes. He says, “I…feel…POWER!”
|
|
Snake dude turns the conversation to the killing of the “primitive” races. Palpatine uses the force to shut the door and snake dude says “hey, you just…” Palpatine shoots lightning at him. Yoda and windu stand outside the building, seeing the flashing electricity. Windu says they’re too late, and Yoda says, “Today, a Jedi lost needlessly, we have.” Windu says he must try Obi Wan again.
|
|
In the office, palpatine shoots electricity at the dude, who reaches a state of nirvana, and disappears. Palpatine sits back down and presses two buttons displaying Dooku and Anakin and holograms. Anakin is still breathing heavily with a scorn upon his face. Palpatine tells them the Jedi know too much already, are too great an adversary, and to exterminate them.
|
|
Padme meets with the Viceroy. He thanks her for seeing Palpatine’s corruption and apologizes for Nute Gunray’s evils. Then he says that it will be an uphill battle for this new alliance, because Dooku and the formation of the alliance has proven to be simply a ploy to get Palpatine absolute power, and he has rejoined the republic, and the Battle droid army is completely destroyed. Padme admits it, but says they now have the strong pilots from alderaan, and the Jedi. The viceroy is skeptical.
|
|
Palpatine addresses the senate, saying that the Jedi have failed them, and they sympathize with the traitors, and must be destroyed. “Without the Jedi,” He says, “This Rebel Alliance will crumble.”
|
|
Dooku takes his stormtroopres into the temple, and a Jedi meets them. Dooku slices him in two.
|
|
On Sigma Vulcanus, anakin gets up as Obi Wan runs in. Anakin pulls out his lightsaber and Obi Wan quickly gets the idea. The two attack each other for awhile.
|
|
Dooku battles a Jedi as his Stormtroopers are killed off. The Jedi surround him and windu says you’re under arrest. He falls to his feet, defeated.
|
|
On Sigma Vulcanus, Obi wan and Anakin battle, and obi wan takes the upper hand, and slices off his prosthetic arm, after witch he battles with his left, but obi wan gashes his head lightly, and at his left foot, causing him to reel in pain, sending his lightsaber down next to a lava pool. Obi wan, still with the anger of the splinter clouding his thoughts, stabs him in the stomach. His lightsaber ricochets off anakin’s stomach. Obi wan pulls down anakin’s cloak, exposing the crystal. Obi wan, saddened, says “that’s just what I thought.” He puts away his lightsaber and turns around, returning to normal. Anakin hops over to grab his blade, when suddenly, an earthquake shakes the planet, and he stumbles into the pit. Obi wan shouts, “ANAKIN!” And runs over to watch his fallen apprentice plummet into the lava pool, his human hand remaining above it, but finally succumbing to the lava, and sinking in, still moving. Obi Wan tearfully picks up the lightsaber, and gives the signal to the shuttle, pressing a button on his belt. The shuttle heads toward the planet. Before he enters the shuttle, he whispers the name of his fallen apprentice to himself.
|
|
In the jail, Palpatine stands and looks in at Dooku. He says: You have failed me for the last time, and shoots him with electricity.
|
|
In the Jedi chambers Windu and Yoda discuss the recent events saying that they are in grave danger, and they must evacuate. Windu Volunteers to prepare evacuation shuttles, just in case. He exits.
|
|
In the shuttle, Obi wan looks saddened, and the pilot comes up and asks him where his little buddy might be, but soon gets the picture, and leaves him to mourn.
|
|
Padme cleans C-3PO and they discuss anakin’s absence in her life. From far in another building, Palpatine’s form can be seen watching.
|
|
Pan to palpatine’s office, where he talks with a pilot. The pilot says he’s not sure that he’ll be able to find anakin. Palpatine says he’ll be there to help him, and to wait on planet. He heads out onto the balcony where there is a shuttle. He enters and blasts off.
|
|
On the shuttle, obi wan sits when mace windu appears as a hologram (sideways) on his belt. He picks up the transmitter and sadly tells him the news of his fallen apprentice. Windu listens with compassion.
|
|
The shuttle continues through space, while the emperor’s ship screams by in the other direction. The ship lands on the planet, and the emperor points to a certain volcanic pool. A tie-like ship with a crane on the end, with a bubble attached to it, reaches in, and pulls anakin’s body out of the pool. The bubble closes, and is brought into the ship. The emperor walks into his shuttle, leaving the planet behind.
|
|
The ship leaps off the planet into a star destroyer. The emperor soon follows in his shuttle. Inside, many scientists work with robotic limbs, and internal organs, and two lungs are prepared. Palpatine tells them to be careful, because if they make one wrong incision, he could be killed, and he is a powerful asset to him.
|
|
In the docking bay, Windu quarrels with an alien captain about the ships, but they are all prepared, but are only enough to carry about half of the Jedi on-planet.
|
|
Padme happily watches as the ship lands in the small docking bay. The pilot comes out, stares at Padme, and then solemnly walks away. Obi wan exits, tears in his eyes. Padme’s expression drastically changes. She asks where her husband is, and Obi Wan tells her the story, saying how he was seduced by the dark side, and the good man who was her father died the day he picked up that crystal. Padme is angry, but her anger turns to tears, and she collapses into Obi Wan’s arms. Obi Wan suggests that they get to a safe place. He tells her that her children are very powerful, and if the emperor got hold of them, they could be used for great evil. Padme is confused at what he means by children, and explains that he has felt another, a girl hiding behind her colon. She holds back her sobs to display a smile.
|
|
On the star destroyer, The bubble is split in half, showing a view screen. All we see is the back of anakin’s scarred head. Palpatine tells of the lengths that were used to keep him alive, and tell of all his robotic parts, and that, to leave the bubble, he must wear a mask, which a robotic arm places around his head. The suit was created by ____________________ specifically for anakin, whom Palpatine refers to as Vader. Anakin (james-earl-jonesey) asks, “Vader?” and Palpatine explains his new identity. The bubble opens, revealing the familiar form of Darth Vader (minus the capes). Emperor Palpatine says “excellent.” Two droids remove the Splinter of the Mind’s eye from the chain Anakin had put it on, and puts it into the body of a lightsaber, causing it to glow red.
|
|
Padme is in conference with the other rebels, saying she must leave the senate, but will make an attempt to stay active with the activities, while still keeping her children a secret. The conversation switches to the prospect of an invasion of alderaan, a peaceful planet. Bail organa, who has pledged allegiance to the alliance says he has sent a dozen Jedi there, along with their own ships, the X- wings, and a large amount of troops. Padme seems confident, but others seem doubtful.
|
|
Mace tells Yoda if they plan to evacuate, they must leave now, for the ships are prepared. Yoda says: Too late, it is. He points to the sky, where, in the night, a blockade can be seen forming around the planet. Windu says they still could get around it, but Yoda says it is too dangerous, and they have a better chance of fighting here.
|
|
On coruscant, Vader and Palpatine discuss the Jedi, and it is decided that Vader will hunt down and kill each and every one of them.
|
|
Padme’s naboo starship is prepared in the Jedi hangar by obi wan and bail Antilles. R2 and C-3PO are there, and inquire what is to happen to them, and Obi Wan says they are to stay with Bail Antilles on alderaan. Padme is strapped in with 2 nurse droids. Obi wan says that he must simply say goodbye to his master Yoda.
|
|
Obi wan enters the temple, which suddenly shakes with an explosion. A few hundred troops enter and shoot at the Jedi, who deflect and destroy most of them, although a few are lost. Windu and Yoda both fight powerfully, as does Obi Wan. Most of the others are killed, except for about 3 dozen, who each head for the prepared ships. Vader’s form appears before them, killing about half of them, and the others lift into space.
|
|
In space, most of the shuttles are taken down, except for three. (Ecchu Shen Jon, and another two.)
|
|
Back on the planet, Yoda and windu argue about who should take the last ship, and windu pushes the Muppet into the ship, which blasts off.
|
|
In space, a young Tarkin orders all fire to be concentrated at Yoda’s pod, but still it gets through, and heads out into space.
|
|
Obi wan and Windu are the last Jedi around, and Obi Wan is attacking a good number of troops. Vader heads towards master windu and they begin to spar. Obi wan Takes out the last of the troops, and runs over. Mace sees him running, and Looks at Vader, who bends his head to the side in curiosity. Windu turns off his lightsaber and closes his eyes. Vader says: “You are unwise to lower your defenses, master windu,” and slices at him, and the great master disappears. Obi wan Screams “ANAKIN?!” and runs to the Nubian transport, takes off, and as he leaves, Vader retracts his maroon lightsaber blade, saying, “We will meet again, master Kenobi.”
|
|
The shuttle contains the pilot, Captain Antilles, Bail Organna, Padme, and a few nurse droids, along with obi wan. Bail (Antilles) says that they’ll be at the blockade soon, and to hold tight.
|
|
The ship heads into the blockade, where a few laser beams shoot at it, and two or three shoot straight through the ship, but they get through.
|
|
The ship as Padme and Bail discuss diplomacy grimly, the ship lurches another few times. Antilles comes in with obi wan to say the shields had been destroyed. The group has lost the ability to go into hyperspace because the ship would disintegrate, so they can’t get to alderaan or any real system except for Corellia, which is so they could easily hide until they can repair the shields and head out.
|
|
Palpatine begins a transmission with Vader and Xizor looking on in the background. Palpatine says that there is now a bounty of 1700 credits for each Jedi captured, dead or alive. Vader and Xizor give each other a glance.
|
|
Yoda’s ship soars towards Dagobah, lands, and exits the ship, saying that lightsabers caused this terror. He smashes it under his foot.
|
|
The ship careens towards the dark, bluish world of Corellia. It lands in an alleyway. The two Bails (Organna and Antilles) say they must get to alderaan, for fear of an attack, and wish to re-locate Padme there, to be safe. Obi wan looks off, distraught over the loss of all of his mentors, and fears for his life. Padme calls out “obi wan…” He says that’s not his name any more, and everything is…He turns around to see her heavily breathing and laying down. She says shut up, I’m having the babies! The Nurse droids roll out, and the Bails go inside. Obi wan asks her if she needs anything, and she kicks him away. He enters the ship, saying: It must be a girl thing. He walks to the back, pauses, looks up, and the cam. Pans out showing the back of the ship is completely ripped off. Ben calls for captain Antilles, who runs to the back, and looks flabbergasted. He pulls a small snail-like thing off the hull, and wedge says these things suck off the bindings, which literally rips the ship apart. One droid comes and says “they’re here!” They walk in and see Padme with the 2 babies. Antilles explains what has happened to the ship, and they have to find transport. Obi wan says he must go to an outer planet to live in seclusion, as to survive and try to save the Jedi from extinction. Padme argues that she must go to Naboo, but Organa tells her she can never return there, or to coruscant. Obi wan perks in saying none of them can, they are outcasts now. Padme reluctantly asks obi wan to take the boy. Obi wan declines, but Padme insists, and says he can be trained in the ways of the force. Obi Wan agrees, and places him in a backpack, strapping him in tightly and safely.
|
|
Palpatine and Vader converse on a deep-space platform. Palpatine says that all his apprentices are out patrolling the galaxy for Jedi, but as soon as they return, he will kill them all, as to concentrate all his time on Vader. They walk into a huge room, where a huge line of Creatures, ranging from Mon Calamari (including ironically admiral Ackbar.) to Gungans to Wookees. They are on a treadmill, which begins to move, and at the end, there is a huge furnace. Suddenly, the treadmill stops, and soldiers leap in and lead the creatures out, and onto large shuttles escorted by X-wings. Palpatine says they have grown too powerful since the gain of alderaan, and this must be dealt with forcefully.
|
|
On the beautiful world of alderaan, the sun rises on a bright morning. Unlike its industrial sister, coruscant, alderaan is not a towering colossus, and the buildings all hover above the ground, as to preserve the wildlife and grasslands that cover the planet. The people begin dropping from the buildings onto the ground, using elevator-type things. They are peaceful people. A child points over the horizon to a huge army marching in. Suddenly, a huge missile goes off above their heads, and they run and scream. A tie fighter screams overhead, and suddenly explodes. A squadron of X-wings soar in and shoot at the other ties. The marching troops are shot at abruptly, and the troops begin attacking each other.
|
|
On Corellia, the three sit in a bar with the infants. Obi wan looks down, but suddenly glances up. He tells the others of alderaan, and they decide they must go help them. Bail says he’ll try to arrange a trans…Suddenly, a number of stormtroopers come in, and point at Obi Wan. Three guys in the corner shoot at them and kill them all. The lead boy comes up (Han Solo), and he asks them who the hell are they. Obi wan says he can’t tell him his name, but they are in desperate need of transport. Han agrees to transport, but inquires where. Obi Wan explains they must head to alderaan immediately, then he must take obi wan to tatooine, or another planet not in cahoots with the republic. Han agrees, and tells his first mate, to prepare the shuttle. The head out after a short conversation, where a Twi’ek woman walks up and ignites a lightsaber. Obi wan says to get to the ship, he can handle this. The two battle for a while on the top of the building, then jump to the next building.
|
|
On alderaan, the stormtroopers begin to take the upper hand, and simply battle for a while.
|
|
Obi wan falls through a window into a crowded store, and jumps out a window. He lands on a speeder, and jumps from speeder to speeder with the Twi’ek in hot pursuit. They begin battling on one large train. The sith slashes at the bindings, separating the train. She snickers, but soon her half of the train begins to fall, and she falls to her death. A number of stormtroopers shoot at Obi Wan, who reflects them all back at them. Han’s ship appears over the horizon. Obi wan leaps in, and Han welcomes him to his ship, the gundark’s hook, a simple, rusty industrial transport. Obi Wan says: clever name, especially since gundarks don’t have hooks. The ship speeds off.
|
|
Palpatine stands next to a viewscreen that shows a holographic image of the battle of alderaan. Vader walks over. The emperor tells him that the ground units are taking the advantage, but the air units are being picked away. Suddenly, an explosion rocks the view screen, and it goes blank.
|
|
The ship careens (I like that word.) toward the planet. Padme and Antilles agree to take the ship, while the others will take the land battle. The gundark’s hook attaches with another ship, whose pilot enters, looking for someone to take the helm, as he works the ground units. Padme agrees and enters the other ship. The ships move in, and immediately the other ship begins to create a perimeter. In the Gundark’s hook, Luke and Leia are strapped in, under the care of C-3PO and R2-D2. Han tells Antilles to shoot a photon torpedo at some troopers. Obi wan tries to argue, but Han has already hit the button, sending stormtroopers and alliance troopers flying. Han asks: What side are we on, anyway?Before Obit Wan disembarks, Antilles hands him a small machine with a button saying: If you need help, call me. Obi wan leaps out of the ship and rockets to the ground for a safe landing, via jetpack as do Han, Organa. Before Han leaves, he transmits to the Antilles: Not a scratch to the ship, Buddy, who immediately makes a scrape along the control panel with a knife, just to spite him.
|
|
The battle is intense, and Obi wan kicks serious stormtrooper ass. Han and rockets up to an imperial-controlled building, where he begins shooting up a storm. He takes the whole building, single-handedly.
|
|
Obit wan watches as a transport drops on top of a building. Suddenly, many sith knights leap into the battle, and begin slaughtering troops. Obi wan takes some creative measures to kill a few of them.
|
|
He tries to cross a bridge to another building, but at the other end stormtroopers shoot at him, and two sith appear. Obi Wan sees this, and as a troop transport takes off, he rockets on, and uses that to get to the building, where he kills the troopers, leaving only the sith and him. They each remove their hoods, showing that they both look just like Darth Maul. One Takes out a double-bladed blue lightsaber, and one takes out two yellow ones. They battle.
|
|
Han rockets off, far over the battle. He pulls out a long-range rifle and shoots down occasionally. Suddenly, the jetpack runs out of fuel, causing Han to fall, on two troopers’ heads, kicking them over. He continues shooting, until there are no troopers around.
|
|
Obi wan and the sith fight, making their way to the top of the building by leaping all over the place. Obi wan slices one of the yellow sabers in half, and the sith grabs his lightsaber, as the other one pushes him over the edge. He uses his rocket to grasp onto the building, and prepares use it again, but a stray laser beam hits it, causing it to explode. Obi Wan yells in pain, as he lets go of the ledge. The Gundark’s hook catches him quickly. He collapses in the ship, the little mechanism Antilles gave him in one hand. Antilles inquires what they want to do, and Obi Wan says to let him go back to the building. He does, and obi wan Takes out Anakin’s old saber, which was on his belt, and begins battling again, killing the sith.
|
|
The tie fighters are all destroyed, as the gundark’s hook shoots the last one down over the ocean, and swerves himself around.
|
|
The remaining ships take care of the troops, with the help of the Alliance troops. As the last few are marched off, they all cheer, except for Obi Wan, who looks at anakin’s lightsaber around his belt. Han’s ship lands, and obi wan and Padme say their farewells, as do the two Bails. Obi wan even shows affection to the two quarreling droids. Padme has a teary goodbye for her son, and Obi wan says he’ll be in capable hands. Han and Obi Wan (ah…err…Ben) get into the ship, and blast off.
|
|
Palpatine says to Vader that the last of the Jedi are gone, and they will no longer have any opposition. Vader simply nods, knowing in the pit of his mechanical stomach that his master is still out there…
|
|
The ship lands on tatooine, and Obi Wan gets out of the ship. Han goes to the end and says, “Mister Jedi…” Obi wan says if he is inquiring about his payment, it’s on the dashboard. Han asks if he needs transport back to alderaan. Obi wan ironically remarks: Not today. Han goes to the dash and counts 20,000 credits. He remarks: I always liked that guy. Obi Wan hails a taxi tram, and tells him to take him to the Lars homestead. The speeder careens over the dunes of tatooine. The sarlaac pit zooms by as they continue on their trek. The pit grabs a bantha and drags it into the pit. The speeder pulls up on the Lars homestead. Obi wan gives them the child and tells them the story. Obi wan says he’d raise the boy as his own, but if Vader was to find him, he would know it was his son, and turn him to evil. Cliegg had died. Obi wan asks Owen to take Luke as his own, and he agrees. He tries to give him the lightsaber, but he says he will not let the boy suffer his father’s fate, he will not be trained. Obi wan says the day will come that he will be forced to train. He walks away.
|
|
Palpatine and Vader watch the primitive species begin work on a huge battle station, the death star!(this of course, to the magical march that we all love)
|
|
End.
