    Here's my contribution for a story still in progress.

    ********

    Black.

    (VO of scrambled voices pleading for help)

    Black screen fades into an image of a primitive forest village, filled with warriors ready to fight and one man standing in front of them, with green lightsaber in hand.

    Screen fades into black.

    Oliyio: Our only hope is to contact the New Republic

    Admiral Idosh: This sounds like a set-up. If you ask me.

    Black fades into an image of a cloaked figure standing on the bridge of a frigate.

    Skar: No one is without consequence.

    Flashes of combat between a Jedi and mercenaries. The images accelerate in speed of various fighting and combat scenes.

    Then the screen turns completely black.

    Skar: My Master once told me: There is significance in every life. Even those who are our enemies. Find compassion, my Padawan, and you?ll find the true purpose of your being; protection of all creatures.

    Black turns into a barrage of even more violence, this time in the forest, we see a Jedi Knight fighting off twenty enemies at once, while screams are heard in the back fround.

    Then back to black.

    Teresha: You said you would be back some day.

    Skar: I'm not back.

    We see a long moving image of a Jedi Knight descending gracefully through the air, his face calm and focused.

    Return to black.

    Skar: Tyu nanh, tyu kayupa, revio re haluon.

    We see close ups of black boots walking across a rocksurface.

    Teresha: What does that mean?

    A flash of a dark man with blue lightsaber, ready to fight.

    Skar: No family, no brother, only the Force.

    We see the Jedi Knight towering over a defenseless man, striking down with his green blade, killing the man.

    Black.

    Teresha: Humans are more likely to call a close friend brother or sister. The concept of parents doesn?t rely on gene inheritance. Who you see as your parents will normally be those who brought you up and cared for you. Those that inspired you. ?Family? has gotten a very broad definition.

    We see the Jedi in pain, pressing a palm against a window.

    Teresha: Where were you, Skar?

    We see the Jedi Knight embrace a woman in a sad hug.

    Skar: Trying to find some path to walk on. One that wouldn?t leave corpses in my trail. I was looking for hope.

    Close ups of a fire.

    Teresha: Did you find any?

    We see the Jedi screaming at the sky above the forest. Behind him the village is in flames.

    Skar: No.

    Cut to a scene where we see the Jedi ignite his green lightsaber as he prepares to fight a gigantic mechanical spider

    Unknown voice: Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in.

    Cut to black.

    Skar: I can't die...there are too many things I still need to do.

    Then the title appears in red letters over a black background.

    *Sons Of Destiny: Ronin*

    Skar screaming: Kaaayyyuuupaaa!

    Sheesh. I'm as nervous posting this as I was posting my first fanfic. :p This is a little long, and it's the first time I've ever done anything like this, so please bear with me. I'm hoping if I post the trailer, I'll feel motivated to start posting the story sooner, but I'm not counting on it. :p

    A big thank you to Jairen for beta-ing this for me!! :D

    Working Title: Five Will Be Chosen, a Handmaidens-in-Training fic

    Fic: Mine, coming sometime this summer, I hope.

    *****
    {The screen starts out black, slowly lightening as a voice that starts out as an indecipherable murmur resolves itself into the voice of a female holo-news reporter. As the voice becomes more distinct, the picture does also until we can make out a holographic representation of the reporter sitting at an anchor desk with the letters ?WTLN? in the background...}

    Reporter: ...received another shock as word came that just days after the death of recently-abdicated King Veruna, his former Chief of Security, Captain Ilsen Magneta, resigned his position today amid rumors of incompetence on his staff. To replace him, newly-elected Queen Amidala chose Captain Gabriel Panaka, a highly-decorated member of the Naboo Royal Security Forces and the Chief of Theed Security for the past three years. Analysts say they are not surprised at the choice, as the Queen and Panaka worked together closely on several projects while Amidala served as Princess of Theed...

    {Cut to scene of Amidala, wearing an elaborate dress and makeup, standing before the desk in her throne room, facing Panaka.}

    Panaka: If I am to protect you, Your Highness, you must trust me.

    Amidala: Very well, Captain. We will give your experiment a try.

    {Cut to scene of Panaka and Amidala from behind as they walk toward a stone balustrade. ) Panaka is gesturing ahead.}

    Panaka: Your, Highness, I?d like to present the group from which your new bodyguards will be chosen...

    {Camera sweeps over their shoulders and out over a balcony to a large open area, a training room, filled with rows of young women dressed in matching maroon uniforms, their hair pulled into tight buns or braids.}

    Announcer(VO): One man took a risk...

    {Cut back to scene of Panaka and Amidala at the balcony railing, this time a side angle of their faces with Amidala in the foreground.}

    Amidala: I hope you know what you?re doing, Captain.

    {Close-up of Panaka?s face in profile}

    Panaka: So do I...

    Announcer: ...to train the unlikeliest of candidates...

    {Cut to shot of Panaka standing in front of a group of agents in a briefing room. One of them raises a hand and Panaka nods at him.}

    Agent: But...they?re all...girls.

    {Close-up of Panaka, raising his eyebrows.}

    Announcer(VO): and make them elite.

    {Cut to scene of the Sabé, sitting on a worn sofa in a worn living room next to her aunt. Panaka and the aide are facing them from another worn sofa.}

    Sabé?s Aunt: I?m not sure I understand, Captain. You want to train Sabé as a Handmaiden?

    {Quick shot of Sabé?s face. It is impassive, but we can see hurt in her eyes...and hope.}

    Announcer(VO): From the humblest of beginnings...

    {Scene shows Saché holding a padded staff with a doubtful look on her face. She appears barely able to balance it. Pan out to reveal several other girls looking similar to her, including Rabé, Lillé, and Eirtaé. Saché takes a swing with hers, loses her balance and ends up on her bottom. Cut to close-up of Panaka. He closes his eyes, looking pained.}

    Announcer(VO): they will become...

    {Scene showing Panaka standing behind Eirtaé who is holding a blaster in both hands and squinting her eyes. Her hands and lips are trembling.}

    Panaka: Don?t squint your eyes. Relax. Just sight along the barrel and aim for the target. Now slowly squeeze the trigger...

    Announcer(VO): ...the most highly skilled group of bodyguards their planet has ever seen.

    {Scene shows Sabé and Yané circling each other on a training mat. They launch into a demonstration of self-defense moves that is almost too fast

    I'd like to turn us back
    to Eyes of the Empire....



    ------------(teaser) Eyes of the Empire-------------

    [fade into a large cavern; Kenth Hamner is hanging in organic chains next to Lawg Skrak, similarly restrained)

    Lawg Skrak: I hate you.

    Kenth Hamner: Good. Maybe you can help me stay alive long enough to kill me later.

    [flash cut to a broad promenade; Yuuzhan Vong warriors and civilians line the sides]

    Voice Over: Ten thousand savage warriors...

    [cut to a close-up of Rallors Antiocas, Stere and Paren, Lawg Skrak and Kenth Hamner, being hauled down the street in chains]

    VO: One enemy...

    [cut to the inner chamber of Creimen Fre; he sits in a high backed chair that uproots itself from the floor and walks on six legs; it stopes in front of Kenth and Lawg]

    Creimen Fre: The Gods will see you broken, infidels.

    Skrak: (making a lude gesture with his middle finger) Break this, you sac of-

    [cut to a rocket hitting a tall spire]

    VO: Worlds will die-

    [cut to coral skippers harrasing a group of exotic fighters]

    [fade into the cargo hold of a burnt out freighter; Kenth and Lawg are sitting on crates, clutching their weapons. Kenth is sipping out of a small, steel flask]

    Lawg: What are our chances getting out of this alive?

    Kenth: (takes a small sip) Who said anything about getting out alive?

    Lawg: Just asking. [a Vong bursts through the ceiling; Kenth starts to yawn and Lawg fires a quick shot through the attacker's head] Let me have some of that. [the Vong body falls next to him]

    [cut to space; three battered fighters are escorting two equally beaten personal attack gunboats]

    [the ships fly toward the screen and the camera rotates to follow them, as they head into a thickly packed battlefield; explosions light up the sky over a large, brown and green planet]

    [cut to Lawg in a pilot's chair of one of the gunboats]

    Kenth: Look out your viewport, bounty hunter: that's paradise right now! I can't wait to go for a swim...

    Cool stuff! I should check out Unraveled, that looks... wow. :)

    I guess you could call this one more of a teaser trailer than anything, until I can get a better idea of it.

    - - -

    [Twentieth Century Fox logo fades in, then out.]

    [Fade in to a shot of a man, with a beard and black, curly hair. Tattoos adorn his face. He is staring straight at the camera. This is Shug'yan. Heavy breathing revertebrates, though it isn't eminating from the man.]

    [Fade out after a few seconds.]

    [Text appears onscreen, in quaint white letters. A voice over reads these words as they appear.]

    (VO) What happens when those oppressed...

    [Cut to a shot of a destroyed spacecraft, lying in the sand and dust of a desert world.]

    (VO) ...Revolt?

    [Cut to a shot of Anakin Southring, a Padawan of about eighteen years. His dusty blond hair is cut short, and he is looking at Shug'yan, who is sitting to his left.]

    (A) Fifty years?

    (S) Seventy if you count the initial conquest.

    [The scene fades to black.]

    (A, VO) Master...

    [The scene fades in, to Anakin looking down on something. The camera looks up at the boy.]

    [Rohan steps over. Fade to black.]

    (S,VO) You Jedi don't know what you're going up against.

    [Fade in, to Anakin looking at the camera.]

    (A) Well at least I can get a good idea.

    [Scenes Flash]

    * A hole burned through three stories, with Anakin looking down on it.

    * A darkly clad figure stepping towards the camera, down a long and moonlit hall.

    * A girl touching Anakin's face, the boy grabbing her hand gently.

    * Rohan standing on top of some structure, his robes blowing in the wind. He moves his head to look up at the stars.

    * A pair of capital ships scraping against each other, sending sparks flying everywhere and a few explosions to pop up.

    * Sand filtering through the crack inbetween two doors.

    * A woman battling a dark figure.

    * Men charging forwards in battle, explosions ripping the landscape all around them to shreds. Many fall, others fire wildly at some offscreen threat.

    * Anakin looking to a group of assembled men.

    (A) This is our last stand. Make it count.

    * A tunnel collapsing on a group of soldiers.

    * Heavy artillery bombarding a communications tower in the middle of the desert.

    * A desert town going up in flames.

    (R, OS) The power of a weapon is nothing compared to the power of the Force.

    [Fade in to Anakin loading up on projectile weapons.]

    (A) Insane old man.

    [Scenes flash.]

    * Two lightsabers being ignited in a palace throne room.

    * Anakin grabbing on to a rail as he falls towards a reactor.

    * A dark figure dissolving into sand and blowing away.

    * Shug'yan and a group of men cutting down troops with archaic swords.

    * Rohan blasting away a group of troopers with the power of the Force.

    * The aformentioned communications tower exploding in a glorious display of flames.

    (VO) The next chapter...

    [A scene of troopers firing at each other in the midst of a heated battle.]

    (VO) Will be the last.

    (VO cont.) Dennis Quaid...

    [A scene of Rohan fighting off a group of troopers with his purple lightsaber, and a scene of him turning towards the camera with a concerned eye.]

    (VO cont.) Kevin Zegers...

    [A scene of Anakin twirling his lightsaber in a very arrogant fashion, and a scene of Anakin looking up to the camera.]

    (VO cont.) Angelina Jolie...

    [A scene of the girl Anakin was with earlier, spinning around with a falchion in one hand, and a scene of her turning towards the camera in a battle stance.]

    (VO cont.) And presenting Oden Fehr...

    [A scene of Shug'yan cutting down countless troops with his curved blade, and a scene of him looking to the east, with the desert wind blowing at his robes.]

    (VO cont.) Stand up, join the revolution.

    [Text flashes onscreen in a dark, burned out red. It reads, simply, 'Revolution'. The text fades out, as if it were ashes being blown away by the wind. The cast text replaces that, and it all fades to black.]

    (VO) Now Playing at a forum near you.

    {FADE TO a dry, dusty town. FIOLLA OF LORRD, flanked by a younger woman, MEA, and a scruffy-looking man, OCTIVER, squints in the sun.}

    (OCTIVER) So where do we start?

    (FIOLLA) We start by asking the right questions.

    {FLASH TO a seedy-looking tavern. Fiolla stands talking to the bartender as Octiver looks on. In the foreground, Mea stands, staring offscreen with an odd expression on her face.}

    (MEA)(V.O.) I saw him. I swear I did.

    {FLASH TO dark corridor. Fiolla and Mea stand over Octiver as he workds a door system.}

    (FIOLLA) Can't you work any faster?

    (OCTIVER) Give me time... almost there...

    {The door slides open, and we focus on their faces, each of which bear similar expressions of awe.}

    (MR. VOICE) Sometimes the simplest cases...

    {Fiolla, face lit by a datapad screen as Mea and Octover look over her shoulder.}

    (MV) Can become...

    {A blaster bolt whizzes through darkness, briefly illuminating Fiolla as she crouches behind a cylindrical object.}

    (MV) The most surprising.

    {Fiolla, in a hallway, pulls herself up onto an overhead pipeline as bolts fly by.}

    (MV) Annabeth Gish.

    {Octiver fires a shot in a crowded room.}

    (MV) Eric Szmanda.

    {Mea sprints around a corner nad hurries to shut a door behind her.}

    (MV) Samantha Morton.

    {CUT TO view through the doorway into a dark chamber that seems to stretch on forever. Light glints off transparisteel containers within.}

    (OCTIVER)(V.O.)(hushed) Anything like you expected?

    {Close on Fiolla, eyes wide and breath shallow.}

    (FIOLLA) I don't know what I was expecting, but this is not it.

    {FLASH TO: title.}

    (MV) Coming soon to a board near you.

    {Fade out.}

    Now that I've posted the story I did a trailer for, I thought I should post- I included a link to these threads. It's really a great idea!

    ---------------------------------------------
    Fic: Mine
    New Jedi Order: Refuge (Special Edition)

    {Blackness. A faint sound, something like pounding and scraping together, grows steadily louder with each passing second.}

    (MR. VOICE) They left seeking a place to hide.

    {Flyover of a deciduous forest that fades into a long beach, followed by desert.}

    (MV) They left seeking a home in a galaxy of turmoil.

    {On the beach, we see a colony of tents and small shacks clustered around a huge gutted ship.}

    (MV) They came to the wrong place.

    {In the forest, we see a group of people scatter, surrounded by two-meter-long centipede-like creatures. CUT TO: ANAKIN SOLO, looking bewildered.}

    (ANAKIN) Attacked? By what?

    {Shot of JAINA SOLO jumping out of the way of something huge and swift; she stabs at it with her lightsaber.}

    (HELIC STOESK)(V.O.) By some type of predator that lives in this forest. One nested in the Shoakran.

    {Overhead shot of three lightsaber-wielding beings facing one massive creature. CUT TO: Interior of a ship. Almost complete darkness, but we see MARA JADE staring into the blackness, face tight with anticipation. Suddenly the wall behind her explodes inward, and we FADE TO: black.}

    (MV) But that was the least of their problems...

    {FLASH TO: Interior of another ship, this brightly lit. In the center of its docking bay sits none other than the Millennium Falcon.}

    (JAGGED FEL)(V.O.) We found it floating over Tatooine.

    {Shot of Jaina, back to us, outlined against the sea, the wind blowing back her hair.}

    (JAINA)(V.O.) There's something you need to know.

    {Fade to white; when the picture returns it's of Jaina and Jag, standing in the cargo bay of the gutted ship from before. There is dead silence. In the background we hear the same throbbing, pounding noise as at the beginning of the trailer. Close on Jaina's face, flushed and terrified.}

    (JAINA) I think... I think it's coming.

    {Fast montage of shots with Lord of the Rings-type music: Anakin standing by the seashore; a group of terrified beings running through the forest; a furious battle between a Jedi with red-gold braids and something else; Jaina and Jag running through the colony--here we see that Jaina is pregnant; a villip uncurling into a Yuuzhan Vong face in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon; aforementioned group of beings gathered in the forest, stock still as a dozen Yuuzhan Vong warriors step forward to challenge them; two fighter ships, seen from the cockpit of the Falcon, an X-wing and a TIE Interceptor speeding towards their target; a long Vong warrior with a young child--DAERIS SKYWALKER--under his arm; the Pulsar Skate lifting off from a forest clearing; a last shot of Anakin, standing with his lightsaber ignited-- he sets his jaw, there is a snap-hiss, and another blade, this one emerald green, appears beside his. A flash of white fades to black...}

    (JAINA)(V.O.) We keep going, as long as it takes.

    {FADE IN to Jaina in the cockpit of the Falcon, smiling gently.}

    (MV) Zoe McLellan.

    {A back shot of Jag with his clawcraft before him; he turns and smiles at the camera.}

    (MV) Topher Grace.

    (MV) Jesse Littlejohn.
