Saga - PT Star Wars prequels rewrite, Part 1: The Jedi Order

Star Wars Episode 1: “The Jedi Order”



OPENING CRAWL:


"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic from the evil forces of the SITH..but the Galaxy was driven into chaos by the Dark Worlds Alliances, led by the mysterious Dark Jedi Knight DARTH MAUL, who gathered together the Dark Worlds Alliances and is threatening to take over Alderaan, a peaceful Planet in the core of the Republic.

The conflict led to the rise of the IMPERIAL PARTY, led by President Palpatine and Admiral Tarkin. President Palpatine promised to bring back the Order to the Galaxy and stop the CLONE WARS, and while the Alderaanian party seek to solve the conflict peacefully, the Imperial Party promised to destroy the Dark Worlds Alliances for a better future for the Galaxy..

The Supreme President sent two Jedi Knights to the outer rim, to make an Alliance with the HUTTS, little do they know that they will meet a boy who is fated to change the destiny of the Galaxy, and is rumored to be the Chosen One who was searched for years by the legendary MASTER YODA and a Dark presence who is watching the events from the shadows....”



–











We start on Alderaan. This is a peaceful Planet, like in a classic tale. There are birds-like Aliens there, and the people seem high-class and civilized. Then, we are taken into the Alderaanian palace, when we see two families discussing. We see a black-haired, handsome Prince, around 23 years old, and a beautiful Princess, seemingly 19 years old, who looks at the Prince with an unsatisfied look.


“We are very happy that you agreed to the wedding of our Nellith with your charming Bail”. Said an Older Woman, who is the mother of Nellith Valerian.


–NOTE:

Nellith Valerian and her parents are Alderaanian elitists, while Bail Organa and his parents are an Alderaanian royality

–


Then, the Princess and the Prince talks with each other in private.


“Bail, we were friends since 5 years old, but this marriage feels wrong, I hope you are not getting hurt by me”. Nellith said.


“Not at all, I mean you are like a younger sister to me, and you remember what I told you about my romantic life”.


Nellith then tells him that she remembers. Despite both of them being unsatisfied with the marriage, they are good friends, like cousins or brothers


But THEN a giant ship lands on Alderaan. The ship is a Star Destroyer, it is surrounded by mini-Star Destroyers and it fires multiple blasters at some guards on Alderaan.

We see Boba Fetts-like troopers getting out of the mini-destroyers, slaughtering and killing the Alderaanian guards, who scream in pain. Nellith and Bail scream, while one of the members of the Alderaanian council is getting shot. Bail then screams.


A Dark hooded figure enters the palace. We then see two Jedi Knights trying to defend, but the figure chokes them with the Force, and opens his red lightsaber chopping their heads. This is Darth Maul, a Dark Jedi and Dark Lord of the Sith.


Maul kills Nellith’s father and mother, Nellith screams and cries.


Nellith and Bail then runs of to a ship and they take with them the droids C3PO and R2D2 . “Wait! What about your parents, about the people of Alderaan!”


“They will be fine, the Dark Worlds Alliances need them for negotiation, we have to leave, come on!” Bail grabs her hand and takes her to a ship.


Darth Maul watches their ship leaving, only for his troops to shoot. “Stop, let them escape. Their time will come”.


Darth Maul opens the hologram message of a figure who is revealed to be the Clone Master Atha Prime. Atha Prime tells Maul that the Clone Army is nearly ready. Maul seems pleased and tells him that he will update the Boss.


There is a cut to Planet Kessel. The Planet is dirty, there are multiple slave spice miners.


We see a handsome long haired young boy, around 19 years old. He watches a stirring pod-race.


This is our main protagonist: Anakin Skywalker. He has brown-blond hair and dirty clothing. He is welcomed by his friends Owen Lars and Beru.


As the three walk through the streets of Kessel, Anakin watches the winner of the pod race: The bully Brotus.


The local bully Brotus and his goons then mock Anakin and tell him that he has no chance in the next race. Anakin is angered and rushes up to fight Brotus. Brotus pushes Anakin to the floor and laughs at him.


Owen calms Anakin and tells him that he shouldn’t be worried about Brotus.


“I wish that I would manage to buy my freedom and get out of here..to the Galaxy. I want to end all slavery in the outer rim” Anakin declares.


“Ani, we talked about this. When you will be freed, and you will be, you’d come to work on my spice freighter and live a quiet life, away from this damn fool idealistic crusades you dreamed off”.

Owen loses his calm. “But I don’t want to work in this ship! This is a boring life! I know I can be something different, like my mother always told me, my destiny is bigger than that!”

.”Anakin, I promised to my father that I will watch out for you, and your place is here, not in the galaxy, so stop dreaming about this destiny and focus on your life here”. while Anakin gets saddened. Owen then comforts him. “Ani..I didn’t mean to..I just..” Owen seems regretful.


“Owen..do you think one day Arcadia would agree to free me from slavery? I managed to sell a few parts of my pod, I have enough money to buy my freedom. I know this is my destiny to be freed”


Beru interrupts their conversation and tells Anakin that its dangerous for him, and that he was a slave to Arcadia since birth, and that he knows how she treats people, she is just as worse as the Hutts. She then explains to Owen that Anakin can’t work on his spice freighter and that his dreams are larger than Owen’s.


Anakin goes to Arcadia, his owner, and asks her to buy his freedom. Arcadia is surrounded by Brotus and his goons, and they look at Anakin with a look of disrespect.


“Mighty Arcadia..my Master..I-I did my bidding, I have enough money and I was wondering if this time I will be allowed to be freed”. Arcadia starts to laugh and taunts Anakin. Brotus and his goons corner him, and Brotus and his men then punch Anakin in the stomach, with Arcadia laughing in the background.

Anakin rushes to fight back, he loses his temper quickly. Despite knowing he is outmatched, and is completely hopeless in the fight and gets brutally beaten by the bullies. Anakin is injured and wounded, while Brotus again looks at him with a disrespectful look. “Keep dreaming, little Ani” He mocks Anakin.


Brotus steals Anakin’s money and hits him again. “Wait! Mighty Arcadia, my friend here is ashamed of his disrespect towards you, this is the last time he will do this” Owen then arrives there, and saves Anakin before he is getting hit again.

The two leave and Anakin is wounded. Anakin tells Owen that he will try to build a ship to escape Kessel, and Owen tries to force him to leave it alone and focus on the farm.


We see two figures walking on the streets of Kessel. One looks around early 30s while the other around early 60s.


Obi-Wan: “Couldn’t they send the Republic’s soldiers to this Planet?, this Planet is in the outer-rim, the hometown of criminals like the Hutts, the Republic does not exist here”


Qui-Gon: “If the War will indeed continue, The Republic would be driven into Chaos. The Republic needs as much as support needed to manage to keep the peace, and if Lady Arcadia and the Hutts would support us it could help the Republic to keep order and balance as it did after the first Clone War”


Obi-Wan: “The Republic needs to gather the Jedi Knights and attack the Dark Worlds Alliances and end this conflict. We need to use attack for once”


Qui-Gon: “Obi-Wan, Jedi Knights never use their power for an attack, remember what Master Yoda told you before you got Knighted, Obi-Wan. You let your emotions cloud your judgment. I promised Yoda that I'll watch out for you and I knew you since you were young, but soon You'd have to take care of yourself”


Obi-Wan: “I don't understand why he is so protective of me. My skills are at the level of Kwan Yat and Buzz Kraken, I'm ready to train an Apprentice, and I know I can train as well as Yoda”


The two are accompanied by their Alien friend Riku, and they continue to walk on the streets of Kessel.


Obi-Wan never experienced such a place and looks very confused. “The Hutts’ era is worse than I thought, no wonder this place is considered nowhere '' Obi-Wan complained. “Obi-Wan, this is not the time”.


Riku gets lost until is founded by Anakin. “Obi-Wan, where is Riku?” Qui-Gon asks. “I sense him, he went around this way” The two-run, until they see Riku and Anakin. “It seems that your friend here got lost, '' Anakin helps Riku to not get lost.


“Thank you, young man,” Qui-Gon thanks Anakin. “I’m Qui-Gon Jinn and this is Obi-Wan Kenobi. We are from the Republic, We were wondering where we can find Lady Arcadia” Qui-Gon asks Anakin. “Would you free the slaves?” Anakin asks in a hopeful tone.


“We are members of the Senate, and we’d like to meet Arcadia because of a recent crisis the Republic is dealing with, ” Obi-Wan said proudly. Anakin then asks them why they are on the outer rim, and looks confused since the Republic does not exist or care about the outer rim.


“Are you a slave?” Obi-Wan asks. “I’m a person, and my name is Anakin” Anakin says, a little angry. “I’m sorry friend, I didn’t mean to-” Obi-Wan then said, “Listen, you can find Arcadia in his her palace” Owen interrupts their conversation.


“What are you working on?” Qui-Gon asks Anakin while noticing his sky-pod. “This is a pod for racing, I want to win the race and buy my freedom so I can get out of here..to the Galaxy'' While Riku tries to touch the sky pod, Anakin quickly warns him that it's dangerous.


Anakin notices Brotus and looks worried. Brotus and his goons laugh at Anakin’s sky pod.


Qui-Gon: “There is something about this boy, have you felt it? The force is..”

Obi-Wan: “I sensed it before you. The force is uniquely strong with this one. Shame that he is wasted on this hole as a slave”.

Owen then notices that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are watching Anakin, and approaches them.

“Who is his father?” Qui-Gon asks.

Owen: “His father died before he was born... His mother became pregnant.. It was a miracle. At least that's what my father told me”

Qui-Gon: What happened to his mother?



Owen: “She was a slave. She got killed by Arcadia’s guards when Anakin was a kid, ever since I promised my father that I will watch out for him. Listen, Anakin had a rough life. The last thing he needs is that you two will put into his head some idea of a damn fool idealistic crusade”


Qui-Gon: “This boy has a destiny, and his destiny is not here, my friend”


A cut to Coruscant. We are on Nellith Valerian’s POV.

Nellith and Bail are landing. We experience the situation from Nellith’s eyes; they are greeted by Admiral Tarkin, Jedi Knight Kwan Yat, Jedi Knight Boodikka, Knight Buzz Kraken, Master Valen and Grand Master Albus Terrek.

“We are happy to see both of you alive. Supreme President Palpatine promised to do his best to help your situation. A nice droid you have there” This is Admiral Tarkin, who is pointing at C3PO. “Excuse me, sir, my name is C3PO..”

3PO tries to develop a conversation with the Admiral, while interrupted by Nellith who thanks Tarkin for his efforts. While Nellith is getting calmed, Bail starts to ask questions.

“What are you going to do about it? There was this dark figure who slaughtered a few of the Jedi Knights in the palace”.

Master Albus starts to speak until is interrupted by Tarkin.

“Don’t worry, Princess. The Supreme President would do his best. But right now, he wants to discuss it with both of you. After you” Tarkin says.


A wipe back to Kessel, when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan approach Anakin.

Obi-Wan: “Allow me”


Obi-Wan talks with Anakin and there are glimpses of friendship between the two. Qui-Gon helps Anakin to prepare his sky-pod, with Owen looking at them.


On Alderaan, Darth Maul sits on King Val Organa’s throne and taunts the king, who is held, hostage. Maul opens a hologram message from Atha Prime, who reports to him that the Clone Army is ready but asks him about the rumor about the Republic’s army.

Maul calms him that the Republic’s army is much weaker than the Mandalorian Clone Army as the Republic are not using Clones and that this is what they need to win the War quickly, and tells him that his Master will be pleased.


In Kessel, Anakin prepares for his first race. “We will crush you, little Ani” Brotus mocks him. Just before Anakin again rushes to fight, Obi-Wan interrupts: “Wow! Calm down there, I see you have a hot temper”. Obi-Wan asks:

“Is he causing you any trouble?”. “Did you guys find a solution for your problem?” Anakin asks in an angry tone. “Not yet,” Kenobi replies.


Qui-Gon notices Anakin’s wound and asks Anakin what happened to him there. He then starts to touch the wound..until it disappears


Qui-Gon: “Anakin, we were not completely honest with you”


Anakin: “What do you mean? How did you do it?”


Qui-Gon: “We are Jedi Knights of the Republic, We are on our way to Coruscant and we need Lady Arcadia’s help on the crisis that we are dealing with”


Qui-Gon then opens his lightsaber.


Anakin: “I once had a dream that I was a Jedi…I freed all the slaves on the outer rim”


Qui-Gon: “This is the weapon of Jedi Knights. Jedi use their power with the Force, an energy that connects the galaxy and binds it together. The reason I’m telling you this..is because I have it..Obi-Wan has it..and you have it within you as well. We sensed the Force in you, and it flows strongly within you. We want to free you, and that you’d join us in Coruscant and will be trained as a Jedi Knight”


Anakin: “What..I can’t go to Coruscant..I gotta stay here with Owen”


Obi-Wan: “Anakin, we need you”


Anakin: “ I can’t get involved..I gotta stay here..I will be freed and I will work on Owen’s spice freighter”


Qui-Gon: “You must trust your feelings, Anakin. I sense the fear of leaving your loved ones behind, but this is your destiny”

“I’m sorry, I’m not the man you are looking for. I will boy my freedom and I will be a farmer. This is my destiny” Anakin says.

“You know what, we will help you to buy your freedom. Then you will decide if you want to stay here or go with us”

“Arcadia would have never allowed this”


“Trust us, Anakin”


Anakin, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan visit Arcadia’s castle. “ Lady Arcadia, we’d like to discuss a few issues,” Qui-Gon says. Qui-Gon tells Arcadia that they’d like to get her approval on the crisis of The Republic, and tells her that as Jedi Knights they can help to make her business legal which would give her the edge over Jabba the Hutt. Arcadia then taunts them.


“You fool, your powers here are insignificant compared to the power of the Force” Obi-Wan says angrily. “You promised you won’t do this,” Qui-Gon tells Kenobi. “What? You are expecting me to sit here and just let her disrespect us? Lady Arcadia, I find your lack of faith disturbing”

Obi-Wan says. Arcadia then orders her troops to attack the two, and we see them open their lightsaber and defeat the troops with ease. Arcadia is shocked and asks them what do they want. Anakin is shocked and it takes him a minute to understand what just happened.


Obi-Wan: “If Anakin Skywalker wins the next race, he will be freed from slavery and you’d give your approval to the Republic”


While they leave, Arcadia tells Brotus to kill Anakin in the race. Anakin is mad at Qui-Gon. “I can’t believe you did this..I would get killed in that race..every racer was killed by Brotus”


“The Force is with you, Young Skywalker. I know you can win the race. You have to believe in yourself”


Anakin prepares his sky pood for the last time before the race and is approached by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. They explain to him that if he wins the race, he will be freed. Anakin thanks them but admits that he must stay on Owen Lars’ freighter.


Anakin then looks at him with a look of regret, and gets into his sky pod, while Obi-Wan, Owen, Beru, and Qui-Gon watch him.


The race starts, and it's absolutely brutal. Brotus and his goons try to sabotage Anakin’s pod and he nearly gets killed. “What-It's cheating!” He screams. Anakin and Brotus are leading the race, eventually, Anakin remembers Qui-Gon’s advice...and trusts his emotions. He manages to win the race and everyone cheers for him. Obi-Wan then gives him a warm look.


Anakin approaches them. He looks at both of them, then he looks at Owen. “I want to go with you to Coruscant and learn the ways of the Force” He says. He trusted Qui-Gon’s advice..now he is going to trust him again and start a journey that will change him forever.


Owen looks at him and tells him to stay safe. The two embrace each other one last time. Anakin gets into Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s ship, “the Shadow Hawk”, and they leave Kessel. Anakin looks at his former home planet, one last time.


A wipe to Alderaan. Jedi Knights Terra Kataran, Cab Mai, Dack Thanewulf and Jubei Hamasaki are walking at the forest of Alderaan when they see Mandalorian troops heading into the palace.

“The Dark Worlds’ insane clones, I can’t believe the Republic failed to capture the Clone Masters” Kataran said. Then, they are surrounded by a few troops, led by Darth Maul and Atha Prime.


“Well well…It seems that the Republic are bothering at all” Maul mocks them.


Kataran: I thought Clone Masters were out of the law!


Kataran looks at Maul, while Atha Prime rushes up to him, only to be stopped by Maul. Maul then opens his Lightsaber and quickly starts to battle Kataran and Jubei. They are shocked by his strength, and he completely demolishes him with his lightsaber. While the last Jedi remaining is Dack, he quickly records a message to Grand Master Albus Terrek and the Alderaanian General Doc Newton.

Maul kills him and opens a hologram message of his Master, The Emperor. This is the first time we are introduced to the Phantom Menace, who praises him for his growing strength in the Dark Side. He then orders Atha Prime to go forward with their plan and gather the rest of the Dark Worlds' alliances.


In Coruscant, Nellith begs Tarkin to take action against the Dark Worlds Alliances. “They would eventually conquer another planet..like Monarch and Lacia..This Maul..he is a Monster..he has to be stopped”.

She tells him. “I know, my dear, but we’d have to get the Senate’s approval to lead an attack on Alderaan..we are in War times but the Senate still wish that the Republic would be peacful..we need to also have the Jedi Masters on our side.”. Then, Master Terrek interrupts. “The Jedi aren’t tools in your war ideals, Tarkin.”

Nellith leaves them and sits with Bail. “Nellith..I’m sorry that things played out like this..I don’t like the marriage as well but if I would refuse it..my father could cut me off from the throne..”.

“Bail, you have been like a brother to me since we were young. I know how much you want to help the people of Alderaan, and I won’t get in your way..”. Bail then comforts her. Bail is approached by General Newton, and he orders him to wait for him.


We see Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Riku, and Qui-Gon’s droid, DV-4, on the Shadow Hawk. Obi-Wan and Anakin start to talk, and Obi-Wan tells him that the Jedi Order is everything he remembered since he never knew his parents. Anakin tells him that he never knew his father either and that his mother got killed by Tusken Raiders when he was still very young.

The two clearly bond and Anakin reveals to Obi-Wan that Owen Lars was the closest thing he had to a father and a brother, but he always felt that he was watching out for him because senior Lars asked him to.


Then, Qui-Gon comes in, and tells Anakin more about the Jedi Knights. “A Jedi uses his power for defense, never for attack. The Galaxy was once ruled by the Dark Jedi Knights, Knights of the Sith, who use the Dark Side, but those were very dark times and were forgotten long ago”.


Anakin: “The Dark Side”?


Qui-Gon: “The Dark Side of the Force is what gives the Dark Jedi Knights and the Sith their powers”


Anakin: “The Sith?”


Qui-Gon: “The Dark Jedi Knights are the Knights of the Sith Order..but they are not Lords of the Sith..there can only be one Sith Lord, an ancient lineage of Emperors. They reside in the secret Planet of Korriban, but the last Emperor was defeated generations ago, and the Jedi Masters lost their access to Korriban. Most of them don’t even know if this Planet is real..”


Qui-Gon presents Anakin with “hyperspace”, a mood that allows ships to travel at light speeds. “I thought it was a myth” Anakin said. Obi-Wan then smiles at him, “We do it casually around here. DV-4, take us to Coruscant”. The Shadow Hawk goes at light speed, and now we are above Coruscant.


The ship lands on Coruscant, and this is the first time we are introduced to the galactic capital from Anakin’s POV.


“Anakin Skywalker, welcome to Coruscant. The home planet of the Galactic Republic, and the galactic capital of the Old Republic”.


They are greeted by Admiral Tarkin, a few other senators, Grand Master Albus, Master Baxter Valen, Jedi Knight Buzz Kraken, General Newton, and Nellith and Bail whom we met earlier. Bail and Obi-Wan embrace each other, and it is revealed that the two are old friends.

Anakin and Nellith look at each other, and their looks collide. “It's great to see both of you, and this young lad” We hear Tarkin’s voice. Riku and DV-4 meet C3PO and R2D2, while C3PO screams at R2 to be polite. Nellith laughs and tells C3PO that it is okay.


Qui-Gon takes Terrek to the side and insists that there is something they will need to discuss. Qui-Gon introduces Anakin to Albus, who is revealed to be the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and its Leader. “Supreme President Palpatine would like to meet both of you, so get ready”.

Anakin is confused about the situation and it's weird for him to experience this high-class Planet for the first time. In the background, there are multiple elitists and businessmen, and each of them is seeking to meet the President. Anakin is confused and shocked by the Elite of Coruscant. He feels like a complete outsider.



We cut to the Dark Worlds realm, Planet Had Abbadon. Above the sky, we can see the Mandalorian Star Destroyers surrounding the Planet and the entire Dark Worlds realm. Darth Maul’s ship lands there, and he is surrounded by his Mandalorian troops. He is greeted by Atha Prime, and other Mandalorian War-Lords such as Vollul Collaikrunn.

Had Abbadon, as a main Planet in the Dark Worlds, has in it many Aliens and species that are part of the Mandalorian culture and are a part of their army. In Had Abbadon there are a lot of crime families, and all of the families submitted their loyalty to Maul.

Maul heads into the council room of the Mandalorians, and within it there are other members of the Dark Worlds alliances.


A few council members ask Maul if his Master is even real and they don’t know if to trust this crazy “Ancient Dark Jedi cult”, while another war-lord expresses his desire to rule the Galaxy by the Mandalorian Way.


“All of you will get all you desire if you will follow my lead and my Master. The Emperor would do his best to bring back the Mandalorian legacy” Maul said calmly.

“And you will get it, but you have to do everything I say” Maul continued. Atha Prime presents the council with plans for a destructive weapon that the Galaxy has never encountered: The Death Star.

“This weapon will be strong enough to destroy Planets, and our team are currently working on it in the unknown regions of the Dark Worlds. This weapon would destroy the Republic and would allow us to rule the Galaxy like we always planned”

Atha Prime said. Prime then explains the Clone Army: “The Clones are unstable, but are much more capable than the Republic’s army”

Just after Prime presents the plans, one of the Council members confronts Maul that he is a liar who is using their tribe for his own goals.

“GAHHHHHHHHHHHH” He screams, and suddenly he finds himself put on a Force Choke. Maul pulls the council member and continues to choke the life out of him. The council members are terrified and completely pledge their loyalty to Maul, who smiles maniacally. Vollul Collaikrunn and other War Lords stand behind Maul.


A cut back to Coruscant. Anakin and Nellith continue to spot each other, and Anakin is continuing to be amazed by Coruscant. Anakin sees a hologram of a lot of figures walking there.

Some are old bearded men who are dressed like wizards, while others are dressed in army uniforms; like classic Knights. “Who are all of these people?” Anakin asks Obi-Wan. “In the Jedi Order, the older Masters are involved with the Senate, while the Knights and the Apprentices, like myself, are on the front lines”.

Anakin: “Where does the Jedi live?”

Obi-Wan smiles and says: “The Jedi have no home. They are everywhere, protecting the Old Republic. Only the Jedi Masters have a Fortress, at the mountains of Coruscant..”


Anakin approaches Nellith. “I didn’t mean to-” He starts to speak, “I’m just-” but then Nellith laughs and tells him to calm down. Anakin introduces himself while Nellith, who is enjoying the situation, introduces herself as well. Nellith asks Anakin where he came from, and he tells her that he is a former slave from Kessel.

Nellith, clearly never met a low-class teen at the same age of her as Anakin, is getting confused and tells Anakin that she is from the Elite of Alderaan. She reveals to Anakin that Alderaan, her home Planet, got enslaved by the Dark Worlds Alliances, and Anakin sympathizes with them and explains that all he knew is slavery.


Nellith also reveals to him that she always felt like a slave due to her affiliation to the Alderaan elite and the feeling of living a life that was forced on her, that includes being forced to marry a man who isn’t her love, despite being good friends.

Anakin: “I never knew my father, my mother used to tell me he has passed away, but no one knew him on Kessel…I lost my mother when I was younger..she was killed by the spice miners..all I know is Arcadia and the slave owners

Nellith looks down at the floor: “My parents..were killed by the Dark Worlds Alliances at the attack on Alderaan, they were killed in front of me”

Anakin sympathizes with her even more. The two give a warm look for each other, until Nellith is going to meet a Senator from Alderaan.


“You have good taste, my friend” Obi-Wan then says. “Oh? That? No, it’s nothing-”


“Don’t worry Anakin, I know Prince Organa and he is a good friend of mine. But Jedi can’t have attachments..a thing like this can get you expelled from the Order if you will be trained”. “This sounds like a sad life” Anakin responded. “I got used to it..I never knew my father or mother..I once had a love of my own..but I chose the Jedi Order”.


Then there is a wipe to Nellith, who approaches Bail. Bail noticed her conversation with Anakin. “You like that slave boy ah?” He said. “He is a good person,” She responds, defending herself. “I didn’t mean it like that, but if the Alderaanian party finds out about this, they could cut you from the elite, and I don’t want it to happen. You know I care about you right?”


“I don’t care about the Alderaanian elite. I want to join the Senate, I want to learn under President Palpatine”


A moment later, we see the Council chamber. Anakin, Kenobi, and Qui-Gon are taken into the Jedi Masters’ chamber. They are surrounded by the Council members, led by the Jedi we met earlier such as Albus Terrek, and some new, bearded Masters, around the age of 70. The Masters sit on a higher level of the chamber.


“This boy is stronger in the Force than anything I sensed before” Qui-Gon started. “I believe his potential is bigger than everyone here in the room”. Albus then looks at him with a confused look. “Fate led Obi-Wan and me to him. I want to take him as my Apprentice and teach him the ways of the Force, and test him with a Lightsaber”.


Albus Terrek: “He is too old to start his training. We are sorry”.


Obi-Wan: “This is not fair! Anakin is strong with the Force, I was amazed with what I sensed. He won the pod race of the Hutts!”


Anakin then interrupts, “I can be a Jedi. I won’t fail you. I already won the Outer-rim’s podrace, I’m not afraid. Qui-Gon I-”.


“There is a lot of fear within the boy. A lot of fear, anger and uncertainty. He can’t be trained” Albus Terrek insists.


Qui-Gon: “I believe this boy is the boy that the journal of the whillis talked about. He is the boy that the Yoda looked for. He is the Son of the Suns”.


All of the Masters are then shocked. “How dare you bring this-” One of the Masters started to speak. “Young Skywalker, leave us” Albus said.


Anakin leaves the chamber.


Albus then hints to him to be silent. “The Son of the Suns was searched by Yoda for years. The prophecy was first discovered on the Journal of the Whills. Yoda formed a team of Senators to search him, but almost all of them were killed except the previous President and a few other members of the Alderaanian party. You believe that this boy is the prophesied Chosen One?”


“I know it's him. He fits the descriptions. He was born from no father, just like Yoda and the Journal of the Whills foreseen”.


“We are willing to test him with a Lightsaber, but we can’t promise he will be trained. This is too dangerous, especially since the Dark Jedi Knights are back”.


Anakin is waiting outside of the Chamber. “Are you okay my boy?’’ He hears a warm, fatherly voice. “Supreme President Palpatine. Nice to meet you, Young Skywalker. Yes, I already heard, you are the slave boy from Kessel”.


Anakin then looks down. “I didn’t mean it like that, son. Everyone at the Republic hates slavery. For years I tried to convince the senate to invade the Outer-rim and free the slaves from the Hutts, but now that the War is breaking out..the Jedi insisted on talking peacefully for the Hutt’s approval.

One of my biggest aspirations is to free the slaves on the outer rim” Palpatine said. Anakin responds that he was a slave all his life before he was freed by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

He then expresses his fears and concerns: He admits in front of Palpatine that he does not know if the Jedi will accept him and is afraid to be returned to slavery.

“The Jedi are an important piece of our Republic, young Skywalker. But let me tell you something, their ways are flawed and dogmatic. I would never allow you to be sent back to slavery, don’t worry. If you need anything, come to me, my boy. I will help you as much as I can”. Palpatine leaves, and Anakin feels that he might have found another mentor. He seems inspired.


Back in Had Abbadon, we see Darth Maul training in a dark room with The Emperor’ hologram watching. Maul cuts with no effort through training droids and The Emperor smiles as he feels Maul’s strength growing. The Emperor laughs again.

Maul then kneels before The Emperor and reports to him that everything went as foreseen. The Emperor praises Maul that he did his work perfectly and that his strength in the Dark Side is now strong enough to defeat even a trained Jedi Master.


The Emperor orders his Apprentice to continue as planned; He declares in a proud tone that they are continuing a plan which was hatched by the evilest Sith Lord: The Great Darth Valorum.

Maul leaves the room, and orders the Mandalorian Warlords to send more troops to Alderaan, as the Jedi will probably try to invade Alderaan and free the Planet. One of the Lords then asks Maul what is their goal in the Alderaan takeover. Maul declares to him that the takeover is just a tool to manipulate the Republic into taking an attacking stance at the War, which will lead to the Republic’s downfall and in the formation of the eternal Empire.


In Coruscant, Anakin is tested with a lightsaber. Qui-Gon tells Anakin to trust his emotions. “You have the Force within you, let it guide you,” He says. In the background, Albus Terrek, and other Jedi Masters such as Baxter Valen. There are also Bail, Palpatine, and Nellith who watch the session. “Come on Anakin, I won’t be hard on ya”.

Obi-Wan tries to give Anakin confidence in a friendly tone. Anakin then opens his lightsaber and the two start dueling. Anakin swings aggressively, he doesn’t know how to fight and never used such a Weapon before, while Obi-Wan fights calmly and easily disarms him. “You have much to learn Anakin, it takes years to master Lightsaber arts”.


Palpatine: “I’m sorry, my Jedi friends, but don’t you think you are once again allowing your code to interrupt your judgment? It would be such a disgrace if this kid would be rejected and sent back to slavery. Yoda would have never allowed this”.

Albus Terrek: “The kid can’t be a Jedi. He can’t even hold a Lightsaber, he was defeated with no effort from Obi-Wan’s side. He knows nothing about being a Jedi”

Anakin and Obi-Wan duel again, and Anakin is again getting beaten without too much effort from Obi-Wan’s side. Nellith then rushes up to him to see if he is okay, and Anakin assures her he is fine.

Obi-Wan helps him to get back on his feet and puts a hand on his shoulder, then Qui-Gon promises Anakin that he can be a Jedi and in time he will master the Jedi arts.

Anakin cries, and tells them that he doesn’t know if he is capable of what they believed him to be and is starting to feel that he will be sent back to slavery, but is promised by Obi-Wan tells him that he will get better as he will start his training and that he would never be sent back to the Hutts.


Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, DV-4 and Riku enter the Senate chamber, and Qui-Gon explains to Anakin more about the Crisis, Anakin sympathizes with the Alderaanians even more and is eager to know how the Republic would help the Alderaan situation.


Palpatine whispers in Bail’s ear that continuing the dogmatic peaceful way of the Jedi will give Darth Maul and the Dark Worlds Alliances what they desire. So Bail tells the Senate that they must invade Alderaan and take back their control on the Planet, even at the cost of a second Clone War. Albus then looks defeated, and Tarkin declares that the Clone Army will be on its way.


Albus Terrek then orders Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon: They will be sent to Alderaan alongside Bail Organa and the Clone Army. Terrek seems very angry with the situation but accepts the Senate’s orders. He also demands to make sure Anakin stays on Coruscant, as it is too dangerous for him to take part in the Alderaan crisis.


Anakin rushes off to Nellith, who comforts him for failing the Jedi session, however, Anakin asks her if she is going to fight at the Alderaan crisis. She tells him that she must fight for her Planet, despite not feeling at home at it sometimes.


Anakin is confused: He doesn’t understand if she loves Bail, and she admits that Bail is more like a brother to her rather than a lover. Nellith then leaves and wishes Anakin to stay safe.


Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan explain to Anakin that they must leave for Alderaan to help in the efforts alongside other Knights. Anakin tells them that he can help and claims that his piloting skills can help them, however, Qui-Gon tells him that the council directly ordered him to stay. Obi-Wan then gives Anakin a friendly hug while Qui-Gon assures him that when they return, his training will start.


Anakin spots one of the ships, and we see him sneak into there, with no one noticing.


Obi-Wan and Bail Organa are seen on one of the Republic’s ships, companies by Doc Newton and his Alderaanian troops squad.

Obi-Wan assures him that this will be just like the old days when they were younger. Bail is curious about Anakin, and Obi-Wan expresses his care for the boy and his desire to train him.


The ships are heading into Alderaan, while we see Tarkin’s hologram telling the Jedi Knights that the Republican Army has arrived and will help them in the efforts. The ship shoots at the Dark Worlds Alliances’ destroyer, landing on Alderaan.


The Battle starts, with the Republic’s Clones battling against the Dark Worlds Alliances’s Mandalorians and Clone Army. Obi-Wan and Bail Organa are seen fighting side by side alongside Qui-Gon Jinn and a few other Jedi Knights. Nellith is also fighting there, and seems struggling with one of the Mandalorian troops.


Then, suddenly we see the Mandalorian getting killed, and we see Anakin holding a blaster, while he wears darker clothing. “Anakin..I was told that you were ordered to stay”


“I had to be here with you, I can’t let you go”

Obi-Wan then notices Anakin. “Anakin! What are you doing here!”. Obi-Wan continues to cut through the Mandalorians, while Anakin helps him with the blaster.


Anakin is not skilled, and nearly gets killed by the Mandalorians and is saved by Kenobi. “Anakin you can’t take a part in such a dangerous mission!” Qui-Gon screams. “I understand the fears of losing your loved ones..but not at the sake of your own life”. Anakin has an understanding look


A few moments later, a ship lands there, and we see Darth Maul heading out of there, surrounded by his troops. Anakin and Maul’s looks collide.


Maul is seen slaughtering a group of Clones and Jedi Knights, unleashing his brutality in a similar scene to Vader’s Hallway.


The long battle continues. “Obi-Wan, Anakin, stay here.” Qui-Gon demands. “Where are you going?” Anakin asks. “I’m going after Maul”


Anakin and Nellith are fighting together and both of them are nearly getting killed again, despite Nellith showing some raw skill. Bail then saves both. “I’m afraid we weren’t introduced to each other properly. Bail Organa.”. “I know, Anakin Skywalker”


Qui-Gon manages to locate Maul, who just slaughtered another Jedi Knight. “So you are powerful as the Council had sensed” Qui-Gon admits.


“More then you know..Jedi Master..the entire Republic is now shrouded by the Dark Side..the Jedi are going to fall..and they don’t even know it yet” The two ignite their blade and start dueling with climactic, John Williams music at the background.


There is then the montage of the Battle of Alderaan, with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Bail, and Nellith as the main focus.


Qui-Gon and Maul continue their duel. Maul is in full control of the Dark Side of the force, while Qui-Gon is defending and tries to take his time.


Maul then looks at Anakin, while Qui-Gon notices it. Qui-Gon then manages to direct Maul’s attention back to the duel, and they continue the fight, with Maul slowly gaining the upper hand by using his superior Force abilities and control over the Dark Side


Obi-Wan, meanwhile, spots their battle while dueling Mandalorian troops.

Maul then manages to put his lightsaber through Qui-Gon’s chest. Obi-Wan screams while the screen shifts to Anakin who suddenly feels that something terrible has happened.

Obi-Wan and Anakin reunite, and Anakin is confused and shocked: he felt something terrible. Obi-Wan explains to Anakin that Qui-Gon got killed by the Dark Jedi Knight, which causes Anakin to scream in pain, he insists on fighting, but Obi-Wan holds him back and warns him that its too dangerous and that he can’t handle a skilled Dark Jedi.


Tarkin is reporting that they managed to locate the Dark Worlds Alliances’s weakness: Their main Star Destroyer, which binds together the Clone Army. If the Star Destroyer is destroyed, the Clone Army of the Dark Worlds Alliances will be neutralized and Alderaan will be freed.


Doc Newton reports to the team, and Anakin and Obi-Wan head into their ships, while Nellith and Bail stay on Alderaan alongside some Clones. Darth Maul declares in front of Atha Prime that he did what had to be done, he then gets into his ship and escapes.


A space Battle begins. Obi-Wan is not a good pilot, so Anakin saves him in space. Newton reports to Anakin that the main weakness of the Dark Worlds Alliances is the Star Destroyer. After a long battle, Anakin manages to get close to the Destroyer..fires a blast from his ship..and “BOOM!”


The entire Destroyer is exploding, with many of the Dark Worlds Alliances generals getting killed.


The rest of the ships land on Alderaan, and Anakin and Obi-Wan are shown hugging each other. Obi-Wan explains to Anakin that Qui-Gon would have been proud.


There is a wipe to Coruscant, the Jedi council. Obi-Wan confronts Terrek and Valen that he will train Anakin wherever they like it or not and that President Palpatine already supported that decision.


Valen: “I don’t trust the kid. He refused to take orders and we saw in the session that there is anger and fear within him. He is not Jedi material”


BUT then, a familiar figure comes out of the shadows. He was there all along. This is Master Yoda. “Searched the Chosen One for years, I have. Ready, Obi-Wan is”


Albus: “He may be the Chosen One that we looked for. But I think you have to understand that training such an important being is a very big responsibility, Obi-Wan”.


Obi-Wan: “Of course I understand. I’m ready, Master. I know I can train him just as well as Master Yoda”.


Albus Terrek: “Then Young Skywalker shall be trained as a Jedi Apprentice. Yoda waited years for you to be ready, Obi-Wan. This is an important task, especially since the shroud of Darkness is now surrounding us..and the second Clone Wars has begun.”


There is meanwhile a montage of the new Republic clone legions, with Palpatine and Tarkin watching them.


Darth Maul arrives on Had Abbadon and again opens a hologram of his Master, The Emperor. “Good news, Emperor. Everything went as foreseen. The Clone Wars have begun” He reports. “You have done well my Young Apprentice. The New Legion of the Clone Army is ready, go to the unknown regions and assume command on it”.


“Emperor, what about the Death Star?”


“The Mandalorians will start working on it soon. Once again..the Sith shall rule the Galaxy..”


Maul kneels and the hologram disappears.


A wipe to Alderaan. Despite the brutal effects of the Clone Wars, there is a ceremony because the Planet was freed. Anakin and Obi-Wan, the heroes of the Battle, are taking part as well.


Nellith then watches the sunset and notices Anakin watching her. Nellith sees him in Jedi robes, and he reveals to her that the Jedi Order accepted him as Obi-Wan’s Jedi Apprentice. Nellith, in a happy tone, explains to him that the wedding with Bail got canceled.

The two watch the sunset, and Nellith tells Anakin that the Alderaan elite ordered her to not get involved with Jedi Knights, while Anakin is conflicted about breaking the Jedi code. However, the two share a kiss, and Anakin returns to the ceremony, with Nellith smiling at him.


Anakin goes to Obi-Wan and is then approached by Palpatine. Palpatine hails Anakin as “The Hero of Alderaan”, and then promises Anakin that everything he will ever need, he will be there for him.


Then, the ceremony continues, with Nellith and Anakin smiling at each other. Anakin kneels before Yoda, who laughs at Anakin’s attempt to be polite. Yoda tells Obi-Wan that he is leaving Dagboah, for now, to stay in Coruscant, but he will watch out for him and the Son of the Suns. Anakin looks at Obi-Wan with a hopeful look. He found a brother; someone who cares about him and believes in him. He knows this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship...



THE END
