I re-wrote Star Wars episode 9
Last December I went to the theatre and watched Star Wars episode 9: the Rise of Skywalker. The so called epic conclusion to the Star Wars franchise. After thinking about it for a long time I realized I dislike this movie quite a lot. It was disappointing to me because I really liked episode eight and wondered how the story would end. I never thought I would be the kind of person to flat out hate a Star Wars movie but it happened. So instead of complaining about it I took a couple of pages and wrote a short summary of how I thought the story for episode 9 should have went. Please read it over and think about what could have been.
In our new version a year as passed after the events of the last Jedi. Rey has grown more powerful with the force as well as dismantled her staff to build a double bladed Jedi lightsaber. We open with a scene on endors forest moon where the resistance has set up a base and gathered a few meager ships to help their cause. The first order attack the base in a relentless onslaught lead by Kylo Ren. The resistance fight honorably but they cannot win. They can only get away as general Leia sacrifices herself to give the resistance ships enough time to get off the planet and warp away to safety. Leia is given the opportunity to talk to her son one last time before Kylo Ren shoves his lightsaber through her heart. The resistance is sent into mourning over the death of Leia. They can barely fight on with what little they have left. They have no choice but to find some more resources to fight the fight. While the resistance brainstorms battle strategies Rey can’t help but recall some stories that she read about the clone wars and how the separatists fought with an army of battle droids. Poe remembers vague rumors of battle droids and droid armies still bouncing around the galaxy. If the resistance could get their hands on a droid army then it would put them back in the game. So their new goal is to see if these droid army rumors have any merit. This puts Poe, Rey and BB 8 on a mission to find Babu Frik and Zori Bliss Poe old pals from his spice running days. Babu and Zori have heard rumors of such an army and the rumors point them in the direction of the junk planet called Kuat. An entire planet that functions as a giant scrap pile filled with droids, robots, weapons and broken ships. Not a soul around that isn’t made of metal. Poe, Rey, BB-8, Zori and Babu travel to this planet and poke around until they find a battalion of functioning battle droids. The battle droids capture the group and they take them to the leader of the droid army a Junker named Frich Dayson. He controls hundreds of thousands of droids and ships electronically. A proper droid army that the resistance needs to continue the war. The group tries to convince the commander of the army to help their cause in the war. It takes some persuading but Frich agrees to help them fight if they pay him 100,000,000 credits. War is an extreme commitment and he could lose a lot more than that. The group doesn’t have the money they need so they have to find a way to get it. So the group hatch a plan and go to Kanto byte the casino planet that is swimming in money. They spend a few days rigging slot machines and hacking gambling computers in order to raise enough money for the army. Their trip ends when they decide to hold up a big time war profiteer who sold weapons to the first order. A really bad guy named Koren the Hutt who made millions. With some of Rey’s force mind tricks they get him to hand over 100,000,000 credits as well as the keys to a hangar full of weapons and ships on an off world moon. Stealing from the bad guys to help the good guys. The group leave Kanto byte and go back to Kuat where they pay Frich Dayson the money. With that the resistance now has a droid army under their command. Meanwhile Finn, Rose and Chewy take the porg infested millennium falcon and go on a mission to find Lando Calrissian. They think he might be able to help out the cause as he was a famous hero from the rebellion. They have a need to sway public opinion in the galaxy about the resistance and try to get more systems to join their cause. They’ve heard chatter that Lando is on Pasaana. Once the group reaches Pasaana the hunt takes them to a local bar where in a cosmic one in a million coincidence they find an old enemy named Dee Jay. The last time Finn and Rose saw Dee Jay he had almost helped them out but betrayed them to the first order. Finn confronts him only to find he still has a nonchalant attitude about everything and refuses to join a side in any fight. Eventually Finn picks a fight with him and starts a bar brawl. The group gets kicked out of the bar and the get arrested by a first order patrol. It isn’t long until the Stormtroopers that arrested them as Finn the first order traitor while the imprison Rose and Chewy the make an example out of Finn. A big platoon of stormtroopers gather in a group and beat him up. Things look hopeless for Finn but with a few good punches and an inspiring speech he convinces some the stormtroopers that they don’t have to listen to the first order. They don’t have to be faceless, nameless, murdering dogs of an unjust regime. The troopers spare his life and release his friends and Finn has recruited a platoon of new troops to the resistance. Finn tells his new recruits that he is on a mission to find Lando and the recruits tell him they had the same mission. The first order sent them on a mission to find Lando and kill him they got so far as discovering his location. He’s hold up in Pasaana’s marshlands with a pack of resistance sympathizers. Those marshlands are nearly impossible to traverse and harder still to flush out an enemy. So Finn, Rose, Chewy and the traitor troopers go into the marshlands waving a flag of peace. They are received by Lando’s men and meet with Lando. They find an old, world weary Lando who has no real will to join this fight. After some inspiring words from Chewy Lando gets the gumption to help out the young whipper snappers. With that Lando and his small group of resistance sympathizers join the fight. Meanwhile Kylo Ren’s spirit has been torn into pieces. He is compelled by the force to destroy the resistance but killing his mother was too far. He starts seeing visions someone or something reaches out to him. It’s the force ghost of Darth Sidious. Telling him to travel to Exegol the ancient home of the sith. He shows Ren where to find a sith way finder the only thing in the galaxy that shows the way to Exegol. Kylo and the knights of Ren go on their campaign to get the way finder and take a ship to Exegol once there Kylo is greeted by the force ghost of Darth Sidious. Sidious guides him around the ancient home of the sith, shares his ancient evil wisdom, and gives him a gift. A counsel of four regents who served lord Sidious in the days of the empire and will serve Kylo Ren as the one supreme ruler of the sith. Sidious also gives Kylo a fleet of star destroyers equipped with weapons that can blow up entire planets in one shot as well as an army of sith troopers. Kylo sends coordinates to general Hux and orders every single ship in the first order fleet to fly to exegol and every single first order troop to join them. Kylo Ren gathers all of his forces for the final battle. Unfortunately general Hux doesn’t like the way Kylo has been running things and when he gets to exegol he tries to assassinate Kylo. Ren is too powerful and sees the attempt on his life coming from a mile away. He kills Hux before Hux can kill him and any whisper of insurrection with in the first order dies with Hux. Kylo is missing something though. The Sith always have the law of two. Kylo needs an apprentice to join him in the ways of the sith. He wants Rey. He still has the ability to communicate with her using the force. He invades her mind on multiple occasions to try to convince her to turn to the dark side. Threatening to kill her and the rest of the resistance if she won’t turn. With his army and his mastery of the force Kylo Ren is the most powerful threat in the galaxy. He will not be denied. Rey tries to reach out to the Jedi of the past for guidance but she finds nothing. Kylo in his ultimate threat shows Rey how to get to exegol using the force so she can join him on the throne of the sith. It’s an obvious trap but the entire galaxy is in danger if Kylo isn’t defeated. Rey shares what Kylo has told her with the resistance. The power he’s gained and the location of exegol. With that the resistance put a plan into motion. They send out a signal that hacks every single hollow viewer in the know galaxy and plays a message on it. The play a heartfelt speech given by Lando about the sacrifices that were made in the past and how the future will be taken from them if they don’t fight the first order. This inspires countless ships from all across the galaxy to join the resistance. The freedom fighters forces grow from maybe a couple dozen ships to hundreds of thousands of ships. A fighting force of that might just be able to stand up against the over whelming might of the first order. They take their droid army, their ships, and everybody else who wants to fight to exegol for the final battle for the soul of the galaxy. The ships engage the fleet of sith star destroyers in the air while Frich Dayson lands his droid army on the ground and starts the ground attack. Battle droids versus storm troopers in an epic battle. Finn and Rey lead the ground battle while Poe fights in the air piloting an X-wing. At a point in the battle Rey and Finn are able to break off from the fight and storm the sith temple. They are met by the Knights of Ren. Skilled warriors who fight for the dark side and they are quite the match for Rey and Finn. Eeventually Kylo Ren shows up. Rey goes off to fight him while Finn takes care of the knights. Rey is determined to defeat Kylo and they start to most epic lightsaber fight imaginable. Their battle with their lightsabers is so epic that the entire planet is rocked by their fight. The two of them use their force abilities to such extreme that at the height of their battle both of them pass out and are mentally transported inside the force itself. In here the Jedi and the sith of the past reveal the true secrets of the force. The jedi of the past try to sway Kylo to the light side of the force and the Sith of the past try to pull Rey to the dark side of the force. The epic lightsaber fight continues inside the force. It only comes to a conclusion when Kylo threatens to kill Rey and convince Finn to join the dark side instead. He can tell that the former storm trooper is force sensitive and things if Rey won’t turn to the sith them perhaps he will. In an overwhelming fit of corrupting anger Rey chops off Kylo’s right hand leaving him crippled and the battle ended. Kylo encourages Rey to kill him. But she does not. Instead Kylo gives up his body to the force and disappears into it. Unable to fight anymore. He spent his life being torn apart by the need to do the right thing until he finally couldn’t fight anymore and he dies. Meanwhile back on the battlefield Babu Frik and Frich Dayson have concocted a virus that will allow Frich to control one of the sith star destroyers. They just need to get BB-8 on to the hull of one of the destroyers to allow Frich to hack into it. A squadron of resistance fighters lands a ship on one of the star destroyers with BB-8 in toe. BB-8 hacks into the star destroyers controls and gives Frich access. The resistance then orders a full retreat. Finn is able to finish of the last of the knights of Ren and adhere to the retreat after grabbing Reys unconscious body. Rey wakes up on a speeder bike being driven by Finn as fast as he can away from any fighting. He gets on a departing ship with the rest of the resistance ground troops and takes off away from the planet. Every resistance ship light speeds away from exegol as Frich Dayson uses his sith star destroyer to blow up the entire planet of exegol. Destroying every trace of the sith and the first order. The resistance has won against the first order. Good has won against evil. Poe Dameron and Lando Calrissian get to work setting up a democratic governing body to govern the galaxy. While Finn tells Rey that he is force sensitive and wants to learn the ways of the Jedi from her. He also admits that he has fallen in love with her and she admits that she feels the same way. The two of them kiss. The End.

How Star Wars Grew Up
I’ve written a lot about Star Wars. I admire how it’s been around for so long and how many lives it’s touched throughout the generations. A series that has been going on for so many years has had to change in so many ways. Now there’s one way it has changed that evolves one of the ideas that is at the stories very core and that transformation comes in the form of the Mandalorian. Now the basic story of the Mandalorian follows a bounty hunter named Din Djarin who has taken it upon himself to to care for a small child that the fans have affectionately named baby yoda. I don’t think that it’s a stretch to say that this Mandalorian bounty hunter has adopted this little baby and acts as a father to the child. This is contextually significant to the over all story of Star Wars. Now let’s go back to the original trilogy. The plot of the first three movies can boiled down to the relationship between our main character Luke sky walker and his father Darth Vader. The audience can live through and relate to the story through Luke as he grapples with his father. He specifically has to grapple with the sins of his father how Darth Vader committed evils acts the son doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the father and go down a righteous path.
The father also tries to corrupt the son as if it were destiny that they were meant to walk the same path. The son ends up redeeming the father and proves that even the most corrupted people can choose to come to the good side. A story as old as time and a good lesson learned by all. Now lets fast forward fourth years in our time but five years in their time and we are given the story of the Mandalorian bounty hunter and his child. The audience is made to relate to Din Djarin as he goes on his adventures and raises his baby. We love to watch the bounty hunter make his way in the world trying to make good choices and mold the child into a good adult. Now on an essential level the relationship between Luke and Darth Vader is the same relationship between Mando and baby yoda. A relationship between father and son but here’s where the evolution is. The viewpoint character has changed from son to father. Luke portrays the son as a protagonist and Mando portrays the father in his own story. In the old days the Star Wars audience was mostly made up of children who could relate to Luke. Identify with this young man and his troubles with his father. They relate to the son.
But time passed and those fans grew up. The fans became more mature and maybe even some of them became parents themselves. So they are in a prime situation to relate to a character that goes through parental drama. So star wars was in a prime position to oblige. Now a perfect character to through into the show is Boba Fett. From what little we’ve seen Boba’s relationship to his father is very vital to him. He follows his father’s path becoming a mandalorian bounty hunter. He wears his fathers armor, flies his fathers ship and does his fathers job. There are even points when he tries to avenge his father’s death. The relationship between Boba and his father is very static and stagnant. Boba tries to be exactly like his father not doing better or taking a different path. Boba and Jango take the same path and their path even ends the same way. They both die fighting. This relationship acts as a foil to the main father son relationships in Star Wars. Boba is not like Luke because he doesn’t feel conflict to change his path. Jango isn’t like Din Djarin because he doesn’t want to radically change his ways for the betterment of his son. One could even say that relationship is the worst case scenario of what a father son relationship can be. Patterns of behavior are repeated throughout the generations. The cycle of violence that encapsulated them both keeps turning and swallowing them up. The end result is degradation and stagnation. Luke and Din Djarin break the cycle of violence that has tried to swallow them up and do damage to their family members. Luke succeeded in this and maybe as the show goes on the Mandalorian will succeed and save baby yoda. This story tells as that a relationship between a father and a son is important. This is the way.
Just as an addition I thought I'd give you guys an update. I've just started my third book in the magic metal war saga. I'm really excited to write this third instalment but some things might get in the way. The Covid 19 pandemic is coming to an end as more people get vaccinated. Things are opening up and getting better. Also my day job has me going back into the office full time so that is definitely going to put a damper on my writing. I'm also getting more opportunities to do stand up so that's also going to take a big chunk of my time. With all this starting up I do have some concerns about being able to finish writing my third book. I'll try to keep you guys updated on how it's going but as many of us have learned the hard way recently the future is impossible to predict.
