ST Star Wars Episode 7 Plot Ideas

I answer you with this:

 

There was a recent post regarding old interviews with Lucas and one of them was "ultimately its about twins". Even though I personally think he just ping pongs this ^&*(^% as he goes along. But as all random thinking does one leads to another and so I thought why not give luke the same choice of trying to keep his twin sister from dying. Leia could even be sith - if all it takes is fear and anger....it doesnt seem like it would be hard to go to the dark side under the right circumstances. Theres enough dynamic drama in that scenario that could satisfy even harrison fords need for better space dialogue.
I share this simply because i cant freaking wait for this movie to come out and wait another 2 years...then another 2 years....and being wrong guessing about it all the way.....however...if im right....this post might be the proof in the pudding.

i shouldnt imbibe ales and browse the web.

 

I really hope this movie mentions or expands the wedge story and rouge squadron I wanna see that in episode 7

I know they say its gonna be an original story but I hope they used a few things from the EU or at least mention or reference them

Maybe in Rebels or a solo film? Sounds wrong for the Saga.

 

Lol. I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

I mean, maybe a mention. But expanding their story?

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Wedge in Rebels at some point.

 

Another kool idea would be the use of the idea of vadars right glove (the 1991 novel) though not that exact story but I like the idea that Luke cut off vadars right hand and that it could be used as a dark side object

The right hand is kind of a motif they use throughout the saga anakin lost his right hand Luke lost his right hand then Luke cut anakins right glove off again I can see them having some imperial officer finding it and using its power

I would like to see Palpatine have a secret son or daughter. That would be pretty cool.

 

Who would the mother be ??

Palpatina.

 

My plot prediction:

• 20-25 years after ROTJ ... Luke is head of the new Jedi order, Leia has been made a Queen somewhere, Han is.... I dunno... perhaps still a general for the Republic...
  
• Luke doesn't have any kids / wife (after all, aren't the Jedi forbidden to love??? I never understood why he would have wife & kids because of this)
• Han and Leia do have children, though... And of course they are force sensitive... Leia is probably more in tune with the force now but only enough to where she can sense danger or something, nothing physical.
• Maybe Luke has a padawan other than his niece/ nephews...
• A force (pun intended) other than the Sith will be causing them problems... a new cult of some kind, looking to take control of Republic... or children of the Empire (now grown up) who have had their parents killed in the Death Star plotting for revenge... (I don't know...) The enemy may be targeting Leia's planet that she's Queen of... mirroring the PT with Padme...
• There will be some conflict with the Skywalker kids with one of them favoring the old Empire over the Republic, and thinks that the Republic is evil...
  
• Meanwhile, there is a disturbance in the netherworld of the force... The Emperor is a force ghost, but probably on a different plane than Obi-Wan, Yoda, etc...
• Luke may try to join in whatever struggle the force ghosts are having... but possibly in a way without dying... Like with some ritual he willingly leaves his body (permanently) to go to this force netherworld...

To sum it up, I think we'll be having big conflicts as usual in the physical realm (idealistic conflicts, people fighting over point-of-views - who's right, who's wrong, - i.e. - Empire vs Republic, etc.) , but they're also going to have a sub-plot (which may turn throughout the trilogy to be the main plot) of this force netherworld stuff... And where only once conflict is resolved in this netherworld will there be peace on Earth, or the GFFA, I mean...

 

I don't know if anybody else has speculated this, but I think Episode VII will revolve around not only Luke continuing the Jedi tradition but reinventing it as well. In several interviews back in the 80s, Lucas has said that the sequel trilogy will incorporate much more moral and philosophical quandaries.

I think initially Luke will go about trying to recreate what the old Jedi Order once was, visiting important Jedi locations like the Temple on Coruscant, or maybe some of the places in the recent The Clone Wars Lost Mission episodes that focused on Yoda. During all this he's following the guidance of the spirits of Qui-gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin, collecting knowledge and looking for force sensitives to train. However, a pupil of his turns to the dark side for similar reasons as Anakin, and Luke recognizes that maybe the old Jedi way isn't the right way of serving the force.

And the rest of the sequels revolve around correcting whatever political/military disturbance the Dark Side pupil has caused and inventing a New Jedi Order that incorporates both light and dark, emotion and peace, passion and serenity, love and detachment! Instead of rigidly outlawing attachment and the potential for family, this new Jedi Order seeks to incorporate and overcome any negative effects of these emotions. I always thought that the prospect of the Balance of the Force being the complete destruction of the Sith a silly idea. What is light if there is no darkness, and what is darkness if there is no light? Balance by definition means that different elements exist in equal and correct portions. The new Jedi should not seek to create peace by representing only one side of the balance, as the PT Jedi Order did, but to be the balance.

Just my thoughts.

 

Great post. You might like this thread on Luke's New or Old Jedi Order.

I also think Luke allowing marriage might create a conflict (see thread). In a nutshell, if Jedi are allowed to marry, then some of them may end up more loyal to their family than the Jedi Order. Hence, potential conflict over personal and Jedi values.

 

Would anyone be against Episode VII being a documentary directed and narrated by Werner Herzog?

 

An idea I had for Episode VIII awhile back. Yes, this is technically a VII thread, but I didn't see anywhere else to put this.

There should be a meet the parents scene in VIII. To parallel the previous trilogies. Yes, in Ep II those scenes were deleted. I'm still holding out hope those scenes will be re added one day. And in V they didn't know paternity yet, but still something I'd like see.

Han meeting his future son-in-law. That could be pretty interesting. After all, who's going to shoot first? LOL

Or Luke meeting future daughter-in-law or whatever the case may be.

 

That could work with his Son-In-law being a Sith?

 

It'll never happen, but I'd like to see a mirror universe where everything is reversed.
Sith: Good
Jedi: Bad
Palpatine: Good Guy
Yoda+Obi-Wan: Villians
Tarkin: Hero
Luke, Leia and Han: Anarchist Socialists

 

That mirror universe idea is too similar to Trek.

 

I agree no mirror universes or alternate timelines ....noone commented on my idea of vadars glove being cut off ...did no one like it I like how he lost his right hand twice and Luke lost his right hand and the fact that vadars glove being a powerful dark side object

Very very very frightening with the missing Malaysian that the plot ideas I had for at least an opening scares me.

A large luxury vessel with peace-seeking intentions is flying toward the paradise world of Aquilae in order to expand the boundaries of the New Republic and open up colonization of new worlds. It is overtaken by mysterious pirate ships whose intentions are unknown. It either ends up on a planet known for cloning, set up as a slave colony to dig for something that these pirates have been "ordered" to find for someone/something else, or on an uncharted dark sith underworld since there are Force-sensitive individuals on board whose power have been otherwise kept on the low-down.

With the mission in peril, Han and Leia are brought into the mission to rescue them since the Force senstiive youngsters are their children whose identity have been hidden due to a prophecy that all Force sensitive people would be hunted down and destroyed if their powers are ever revealed.

 

So, in order to guess a potential plot for the ST, I think we have to do some imagining of what takes place post-ROTJ.

The Empire/the Sith: Whether or not the Empire last for 30 more years or so with Admirals and Governors stepping up, I think the real question is: who is keeping the darkside alive? Assuming Palpatine is dead and not coming back as a Spirit, I feel certain that he would have a Holocron and dark agents in place ready to carry the baton. The only agent we know about so far for sure is the Inquisitor, and he can live up to 700 years. So I'm thinking the Inquisitor (or someone like him) leads Palpatine's surviving darkside adepts and elite forces into the Unknown Regions (so as to escape Luke and the New Republic) and begins training a worthy successor. This plan could be Palpatine's -- Protocol 666 or some such -- and he has a handful of "padawan" Sith that must pass a series of trials in order to lead a new Sith Army. In fact, it could be that the Imperials who fight the New Republic during the post-ROTJ era are simply a distraction to the growing Sith force in the Unknown Regions. Perhaps some of the high-ranking Imperials leading the resistance understand that their job is to delay until a new leader and superior force arrive. This new force will be a bigger threat than the Stormtroopers of the OT, since they will all be Force sensitive to some degree, even if they are not powerful enough to be Jedi or Sith. This aspect at least makes them competent. During the first 5-10 years of Protocol 666, the emphasis is on having mercs and bounty hunters scour the GFFA and Unknown Regions for Force Sensitives. They can be sensed by the Inquisitor and dark adepts; plus, Palpatine, during the Dark Times, already had identified hundreds or thousands of Force potentials. Many of them he may have already kidnapped and begun programming; the rest are secretly taken to the Unknown Regions, and by the time of the ST, a huge army of Sith are ready to invade and retake the Republic.

The Jedi/Republic: Over the last 30 years, Luke has slowly but surely built up a fledgling Jedi Order. But it has been difficult and there have been many troubles along the way. For one, the Order has grown slowly because Luke has rejected some of the old ways -- he no longer 1) takes children from birth, but only trains those old enough to decide they want to become Jedi; 2) hasn't made the Jedi an official Order of the Republic, but an independent Order. This causes at least two problems: the Order is often underfunded and is also distrusted by many in the Senate. Some of this distrust stems from ignorance regarding the Jedi's role in TCW, but some is being sowed by Imperial/Sith agents. There is a lot of fear that Luke Skywalker, son of Darth Vader, is secretly creating a force of Jedi warriors that will take over the Republic (Luke either tells the public about Vader's true identity, or the information is leaked by Sith agents). 3) The irony of this fear relates to another new aspect of Luke's Order. While not pure pacifists, Luke discourages his Jedi from taking sides in wars and instead trains them to help bring conflicts to an end peacefully. They are only allowed to fight defensively, and their main weapon is communication, wisdom, and fairness. Some of Luke's Jedi agree with this approach, while others, including some of the Sky-Solo offspring, crave a more active role for the Jedi; they want to be able to take sides, serve the Republic directly, and fight offensively, even in wars.

The ST plot: When the unidentified Sith forces attack one of the Core planets, the Republic and Jedi are divided. Some in the Republic want the Jedi to help while others believe they are being attacked by the Jedi. Some of the Jedi are angry that they are being blamed and want to rush off to battle. Luke, desiring to understand the mysterious threat better, wants to learn about the enemy before deciding what to do. This leads to a split in the Jedi: some decide to aide the Republic while a few stand with Luke, who senses that they must travel into the Unknown Regions to bring the conflict to an end. Meanwhile, as the more rash Jedi force heads to the Core planet under attack, they will be lucky to survive since they are walking into a trap meant to destroy and frame the Jedi.

Just riffing some possibilities.

 

Indeed... just because it worked well (from my point of view) there, doesn't mean it would for Star Wars. Though it's very reasonable to assume that time traveling is possible in the GFFA, there's no reason for it to be used.
