PS According to Google, "The Hosnian system was a star system in the galaxy's Core that contained the planets Cardota, Courtsilius, Hosnian, Hosnian Prime, and Raysho." Rumors of Coruscant's death, for any Wars fans who still believe the planet was destroyed by Starkiller base, are also greatly exaggerated, to my GREAT relief! It is a key player in my Star Wars trilogies. Had Starkiller Base I destroyed it in SW 7, I would have had to replace Coruscant's place in the Scripts with another World, such as Chandrilla, which I am also glad was not in the Hosnian Prime System destroyed by Illum Base, for Chandrilla features heavily in Episode 10 at least.

PSS The Episode XV Script in its current form now given to theforce.net for perusal is very brief because I desired to cut right to the chases, and many, many scenes are skipped, but the script has all its bare-bones essentials.

Star Wars Episode XV: Destruction of the Sith

Screenplay by Brent Lee Sohlden Koivolpolo V

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

SC.01 EXT. SPACE

A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for a TITLE ROLL, which crawls into infinity....



The PALPATINE CLONES are routed and on the run. The RESISTANCE has learned that, should all of PALPATINE die, his FINAL clone is rigged with a TRIGGER that through millions of WEATHER SATELLITES will DEVASTATE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WORLDS. Once this happens, the YU'ZZAN VONG, from a NEIGHBORING GALAXY are poised to INVADE. Now THE JEDI are making a final PUSH TO ERADICATE ALL OF PALPATINE once and for all....



Brent Sohlden — 12/11/2020

Over a LUSCIOUSLY RICH AND VERDANT PLANET, we see two SITH STARFIGHTERS with IMPERIAL DROIDS in the wings. In the COCKPITS are TWO PALPATINE CLONES with looks of determination on their faces. Three more SITH STARFIGHTERS join them. TRUCK with the fighters until they enter a large battle array of COUNTLESS SITH STARFIGHTERS, TIES, DESTROYERS and REBEL SNUBFIGHTERS and FRIGATES AND CRUISERS AND VARIOUS OTHER TYPES OF REBEL SHIPS and JEDI STARFIGHTERS. It is a battle on a LARGER SCALE than the one in the opening scene of REVENGE OF THE SITH in size, scope and magnitude.
One Sith fighter blows up completely and two are SHOT DOWN.

SC 02 EXT UNNAMED PLANET- UPPER ATMOSPHERE-DAY

PAN DOWN as the two SITH FIHTERS descend downward towards the planet and experience atmospheric re-entry burn.

SC. 03 EXT. UNNAMED PLANET-DAY

Camera continues to track the TWO DOWNED FIGHTERS, having SURVIVED re-entry but both tailspinning out of control as we see that the battle continues throughout the planet's atmosphere, and is more intense in some areas than others. We see the two downed ships continue to tailspin down past other Sith, Imperial and Resistance ships, including many SHADOW AND FLAME-LIKE vessels capable of destroying a large Rebel vessel in a SINGLE BLAST.

SC. 04 EXT. SAME UNNAMED PLANET-PLAINS

THOUSANDS OF SITH CLONES OF PALPATINE meet THOUSANDS of JEDI on an open battlefield. There are hundreds of LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES.
The two SITH STARFIGHTERS crash into the SITH ARMY in two HUGE FIREBALLS, killing many PALPATINES.

SC 05 CLOSE UP OF JEDI KNIGHT GROGU

Cutting up, taking down clone after clone.

SCENE 06-07

CLOSE UP of JEDI GRAND MASTERS GENERALS KLON and LEERSA giving orders and fighting back to back and side by side.

CLOSE UP of JEDI MASTERS COMMANDERS BEN AND REY fighting POWERFULLY and with PURPOSE and DETERMINATION

SC. 08 EXT. A DEVASTATED CORUSCANT THAT LOOKS AS IF THERE HAS ONLY BEEN MEAGER ATTEMPS AT REBUILDING THE CITY

LUMPY, CHEWIE, LANDO AND SON, POE AND FAWN DAMERON , FINN, ROSE, KOLAP HU, LUKE, SARAH, TAL AND NALSA LI, now all five years older than in the last film, and a team of RESISTANCE COMMANDOS creep through the city, led by RASA LEM.

FINN (low): I'd much rather be fighting in the great multiplanet Jedi and Sith war than doing another boring recon mission. Nothing ever happens. Same old, same old.

POE: Sh! (Gestures with two fingers, pointing twice, indicating an Imperial presence nearby.)

SC 09 EXT. CORUSCANT

Two IMPERIAL OFFICERS are walking out of a tall building onto a TERRACE. They are busily engaged in conversation. Nearby, unseen by them, ARTOO extends his LISTENING ANTENNA, as FINN begrudgingly puts his ears on, listening with the others. BB-8 stays out of sight as he stays on the lookout for other signs of Imperial activity.

OFFICER 1( to the second officer): The Kamino protocols are secure. I assure you the failsafe clone will not fall. If he does, it's goodbye, galaxy. Project Cinder II would ensure that the New Republic shall not form even should our Emporer cease to exist. The Emporer is currently concentrating his power around Kiros and Avaris systems and decoying them with Nal Huttan system movements in an effort to distract the Rebels from coming anywhere near Kamino. So far, the Rebellion and the Jedi have been taking the bait. We plan on making our final stand on Nal Hutta with even more powerful superweapons than before, then lying low and rebuilding our armies and while the Palpatine on Kamino still reigns supreme. The Rebellion and the Jedi will finally be utterly hunted down and destroyed.

OFFICER 2: Will Palpatine get a new apprentice?

OFFICER 1: I hear the aged Popretti, a powerful Togrottan male, who left the Jedi Order two years ago, is being groomed to replace Lord Violentia. He is said to be more powerful than Master Yoda.

OFFICER 2: Oh, my, the Jedi are in for a surprise! They won't see it coming!

The two officers go back inside, their breather taken. Artoo retracts his antenna. BB-8 turns his head slowly back and forth to indicate the all-clear.

POE (low, to Finn): You call that 'nothing'? Let's get this intel back to base.

The group starts off

SC 10 EXT. SPACE

The Millennium Falcon takes off from Coruscant and the space around it shifts into the CAVE-I enhanced mottled sky of hyperspace.

SC 11 EXT. HYPERSPACE LANE

The MILLENNIUM FALCON hurtles through hyperspace, then does some calculated HYPERSPACE SKIPPING to

SC 12 EXT. SPACE AROUND TOYDARIA

FALCON approaches planet.

SC 13 EXT. TOYDARIA-LANDING PAD-DAY

FALCON lands. Main door opens. LANDO is the first to exit, followed by CHANCE, who both run into the arms of their mother and wife, TENDRA.

Noticeably absent is Mon Mothma. In her stead is the faithful Grand Admiral Ackbar and MON's husband, Marko Lopo.
Marko embraces Fawn and Ackbar gives her a look of sympathy.

ACKBAR: Fawn, Poe, Mon wishes to speak to you both.

SC 14 INT. MON AND MARKO'S TOYDARIAN CHAMBERS

MON is in bed. MARKO, ACKBAR, FAWN, POE, FINN, ROSE, the LANDO FAMILY, CHEWIE and SON, and ALL the others are around her.

MON MOTHMA: If what you say is true and not misinformation intentionally designed to mislead us, then we must act quickly to divert a large group of our forces to around Kamino and her surrounding systems...I mean you must, Fawn. When I pass on to my reward, you will be the new Chancellor of the New Republic. You have certainly earned it.

Brent Sohlden — 12/15/2020

FAWN weeps and embraces her MOTHER. MARKO LOPO, POE DAMERON and ACKBAR bow their heads. Suddenly MON MOTHMA passes from this stage of action. Everyone bows. Those with hats remove them. FAWN continues to embrace her dead mother.

SC 15 INT. TOYDARIAN CHURCH -DAY

We hear organ music as an open casket viewing is taking place at the front of the sanctuary.

The pews are filled to capacity, with many standing.

C-3PO (to Fawn): Artoo is carrying an encrypted message intended for the Supreme Chancellor.

FAWN: I am the Supreme Chancellor.

SC 16 INT. TOYDARIAN CHURCH-HALL

FAWN follows ARTOO down a hall to a PRIVATE ROOM.

Brent Sohlden — 12/15/2020

SC 17 INT. TOYDARIAN CHURCH - PRIVATE ROOM

Door opens and R2 rolls in, followed by FAWN DAMERON. Once the door is shut and locked, Artoo plays his message.

KLON: The last of the clones on Shili and Nal Hutta and their surrounding systems have been vanquished. We needed to evacuate and destroy 5 planets in all to finish the job.. But the Emperor's strongholds on the invaluable planet of Avaris will take at least a five month series of seiges and precise surgical strikes to dethrone him. We have confirmed your intelligence about the Kamino system and are diverting all forces not concentrating on Avaris to launch a surprise attack on Kamino. But Kamino will be a delicate operation. May the Force be with you, M'Lady.

Brent Sohlden — 12/15/2020

FAWN: Artoo, tell 3PO to gather Ackbar, Finn, Rose, Poe, and Lando,Chance, Chewie and Lumpy and show them this message. I have a feeling this will be welcome news for all of them.

ARTOO: (Beeps)

FAWN lets him out of the room, and he rolls down the hallway.

SC 18 EXT. AVARIS-DAY

We see a huge Art deco style modernistic and yet simplistic styled city with ordinary Americana style suburbia only more high tech. War is everywhere. Battalions of stormtroopers fight armies of resistance fighters. AT-ST'S walk the streets targeting rebel after rebel. Jedi bring down AT-ST'S and contend with armies of stormtroopers. We see both original trilogy stormtroopers and First Order stormtroopers everywhere. There are hundreds of casualties on both sides. Jedi Grand Masters Klon and Leersa are fighting back to back with Jedi Knights Tal and Nalsa Ri.

SC 18 EXT. SPACE AROUND KAMINO

There are shadowy distortions all around Kamino.

SC 19 INT. VICTOR'S HAND-BRIDGE

Ackbar stands looking out at Kamino.

ACKBAR: Activate our aquatic landing gear. Frogmen, ready yourselves. Commandos, this operation will take precision and delicacy. We need to destroy three Palpatine cloning facilities and contend with the adult Palpatine clones down there. When the last clone is destroyed it will cause devastation and destruction to over 10,000 worlds, but those worlds will live on, and there are still untold millions of inhabited worlds left in our galaxy. We have with us over 200 fully trained Jedi Knights and Masters to contend with the adult clones. May the Force be with us.

January 14, 2021

SC 20 EXT. KAMINO

We see massive undersea battle as armies of Kaminoians in minisubs and SCUBA gear led by Sith Generals who are Palpatine clones contend against armies of Rebels led by Jedi Generals all in their own aquatic gear.


March 15, 2021

SC 21 EXT AVARIS DAY

We see massive wars, New Republic Battle Droids taking out Imperial Strongholds, and Jedi facing off against many Sith Clones, but not half so many as there were before.

SC 22 EXT 2'ND MOON OF AVARIS DAY

A Palp Clone Addresses an AUDIENCE.

PALP CLONE: The World Devastators from Nal Hutta are on their way to drive the Jedi from Avaris below. Pity the New Republic Strike on Nal Hutta and her surrounding systems was TOO SWIFT for us to be able to use them there but this battle here CAN be won by us and their Strike on Kamino was doomed from the start. We shall yet be victorious, regroup and clone twice of me than before!

Cheers and applause

Suddenly a missile carpet bomb strike turns that place into a deathtrap and that moon is free of Imperials and its Palp clone


SC 23 EXT SPACE ABOVE KAMINO

Some Republic Ships and their fighters are suddenly swarmed with Star Destroyers and TIEs.


SC 24 EXT KAMINO PALP CLONING FACILITY DAY

JEDI and SITH CLONES dual with Sabers all over the platform, as many Imperials contend with the Republic Commandos. Suddenly, from the Sea, there is a massive uprising of Kaminoans on their beast birds who dive-at the Imperials, who far outnumber the Rebels.

SC 25 EXT SPACE ABOVE KAMINO

SUDDENLY thousands of Kaminoan Warships decloak and join in the fray in the battle against the Imperials, turning the tide of the battle.

SC 26 KAMINOAN PALP CLONING FACILITY PLATFORM -DAY

PALP CLONE: What? How could I could not have forseen-

He is impaled by a Jedi.

One by one the SITH on the platform are slain, while the tide of the battle turns in favor of the Rebels.

SC 27 EXT. AVARIS

The World Devastators land, wreaking havoc on Jedi and Rebel alike.

SC 28 EXT. SPACE ABOVE AVARIS

A World Devastator takes a New Republic Ship into its maw and demolishes it.

Other new Republic ships open up on it, but to no avail.

SC 29 INT AVARIS- AN ART DECO STYLE BUILDING-INTERIOR ROOM

PALP CLONE: I am the last Sith Clone on Avaris. The Jedi dont have to know the World Devastators came too late. As long as I stay hid, the battle will go on.

Suddenly, the door is sliced open by two blades moving in opposite directions making an arch.

LEERSA AND KLON step in.

KLON: We heard you.

PALP CLONE: Then I cannot let either of you out of here alive.

LEERSA: We'll see about that.

LEERSA leaps and twists in the air as KLON strides forward slowly.

The result is that all three blades meet in the middle, and a lightning fast lightsaber duel ensues.

EXT KAMINO CLONING FACILITY

Suddenly the Facility EXPLODES and the REBELS and KAMINOANS cheer.

AN INDISCRIMINATE NO. OF SCENES

The Rebels and KAMINOANS then ASSAULT the SECOND and THIRD facility, put charges without and within, and they too ERUPT IN FLAMES.

More cheering.

SC N-A EXT KAMINO PLATFORM-DAY

A KAMINOAN comes up to ACKBAR, who we've seen in this film can handle himself in a fight.

KAMINOAN: Sir, our intelligence points to one more Sith Clone, but he is elusive, and we believe, the last.

ACKBAR: My guess is he will probably be the most powerful. I will send over 200 Jedi in to hunt him down.

KAMINOAN: He is deep underocean, in a secret Kaminoan complex, and THOSE Kaminoans side with him. You'll need us.

ACKBAR: (Sucks in) Then let's go.

SC N-B EXT AVARIS DAY

The lightsaber Duel has been taken outside, and is faster than even Anakin and Obi Wan's duel at the end of Revenge of the Sith. The attacks and counterattacks are relentless. Order 66 Music plays as they duel, combined with Dual of the Heroes, blended harmoniously. We've never seen a lightsaber battle quite like this, through city street, market and slum, people watching gawk-eyed.
Finally, Leersa lops him off from the shoulders up and Klon from the waist down, leaving the Dark Lord Clone in Three Pieces.

SC O-A INT. KAMONO SECRET FACILITY NIGHT

KAMINOANS REBELS and JEDI fight KAMINOANS throughout the OFFICES and HALLS of the FACILITY, going down one level at a time.

Finally, Over 200 Jedi confront the Dark Lord, who proclaims he is every Sith and every Palpatine, and all their collective energy was now in him.

Then Palpatine , in under 2 minutes, slaughters all of the over 200 Jedi in the room. He reverts back to the grandfatherly appearance we saw in Episodes I-III, then raises up his hands in a curl and cackles.

PALPATINE: It's over now. They'll just make 8 million more of me.

Suddenly the Force Ghost of Luke Skywalker, a Young Anakin, Yoda and a Young Obi Wan Kenobi appear.

PALPATINE: Ha!

They all attack with their Ethereal Sabers and we see a remarkable dual. Maul, and the Former Pau'an Grand Inquisitor and Qui-Gon join in the fray.
Leia also appears, saber drawn and PALPATINE starts losing ground in the fight.
Finally ANAKIN has him immobilized on the floor pinned through the heart.

PALPATINE: Anakin, think back to your training, you learned early on that no Force Entity not made of flesh has power to kill a man or beast. You have lost.

Suddenly a familiar musical cue from Attack of the Clones comes up and we see a familiar ROBED FOOT step into the room.

It is revealed to be MACE WINDU, living, and with Amethyst Blade drawn.

MACE(Calmly) : No, you have lost.

He walks up to the pinned Dark Lord and strikes off his head. Every inch of the Sith Clones body explodes in gore. A beam shoots up past the ceiling and Mace goes up to the Surface, covered in gore, to see the light.





SC O-B EXT KAMINO ROOFTOP -BREAK IN RAIN- MAGNIFICENT RAINBOW APPEARS

Up in the sky three Rebellion symbols form a triangle with all three symbols connected. The rain all stops and a huge, bright Rainbow fills the sky. All the freed Kaminoans and Rebels cheer. Mace has a sad look on his face.

ACKBAR: This is a sad day for Ten Thousand Worlds, chum.

MACE: And when we are weak, we are primed for invasion. By what I don't know.

SC O-C EXT. CATO NEMOIDA

As the Tri Rebellion Symbol Blazes in Space, down below there is a major atmospheric disturbance.

SC P-A EXT CATO NEMOIDA

PAN DOWN through the CLOUDS to see major PLANETWIDE DESTRUCTION, and people running and panicking.

AN INDISCRIMINATE NUMBER OF SCENES

We show planetwide destruction on Various Worlds as Operation Cinder II initiates.

SC Z-A EXT SPACE VICTOR'S ARM

All Hope Stars are Parked in orbit around Toydaria.





SC Z-B INT VICTOR'S ARM-BRIDGE

ACKBAR: Let's hope we'll never need these awful death instruments after today's ceremony, when they'll be no more.

Cheers and applause.

SC Z-C EXT SPACE

Suddenly every single Massive Death Star Blows up from the inside in sequence, from first to last, in a massive formation.

SC Z-D INT VICTOR'S ARM-BRIDGE

MACE WINDU: I've never seen such a magnificently glorious display.

KLON: I'll say.

Klon holds hands with Leersa.

AN INDISCRIMINATE NO OF SCENES AND A LENGTHY SEQUENCE

Suddenly thousands of alien vessels invade Toydaria.

AN INDISCRIMINATE AMOUNT OF SCENES

This invasion is galaxy-wide.





SC ZZ-A INT TOYDARIA- PALACE

FAWN DAMERON, C-3PO, D-0, R2-D2, and BB-8 are in a MASSIVE TOYDARIAN HALL.

R2-D2 plays a hologram for FAWN. REY AND FINN AND POE and CHEWIE come up behind FAWN to watch.

REBEL OPERATIVE IN HOLOGRAM: This new threat call themselves the Yuh'Zong Vong, and they are extremely dangerous. Lando Calarissean found out their name and brought it to us. He is safe, for the moment.

SC ZZ-B EXT SPACE ABOVE TOYDARIA

The REBEL FLEET is fighting a LOSING BATTLE. The MILLENIUM FALCON DOCKS with the VICTOR'S ARM and the ARM jumps into Hyperspace.

SC ZZ-C INT MILLENNIUM FALCON

POE DAMERON, REY, BEN SOLO, R2 and FINN and ROSE are talking.

POE: My guess is these guys want control over our galaxy and its resources.

ARTOO: (Beeps.)

C-3P0: Artoo says that thousands of years ago there were legends of the Vong visiting our galaxy but everyone always thought their intentions were not good. Then it was all but forgotten.

A knock knock knock knock is heard. FINN goes to an airlock and lets LANDO in.

LANDO: It's good to see you, Finn. Tendra, Lumpy and Junior are safe aboard the Arm. Ever since I was shaken during my encounter with the Vong I've needed to see my old ship again.

BEN: Fawn Dameron, her dad Marko Lopo, Kolap Hu, Luke, Sarah, Tal, Nalsa Li and Rasa Lem are aboard this ship. Luck of The Draw's also docked with the Arm.

LANDO: Then we are all together. We'll fight the Vong together!





As the friends stand together near the game table, Yoda's theme starts up and turns into Brand New Star Wars Scoring.

The music rises to a crescendo.

[Yes I realize in Thrawn Ascendancy the Vong are called something else but it can be said in either Episode 16 or 18 because in already wrote 17, that they are also called by that name. If the alien species in Ascendancy is something else, not a replacement for the Vong, I take that back.]
