My Idea for Star Wars 7-9

I had a dream last night for an awesome idea for the new Star Wars Trilogy. Not included are lots of familiar places and faces being visited from the previous film. Star Wars 8 & 9 plot synopsises are a lot more condensed. tell me what you think!



Star Wars 7: We enter in Tatooine. Han and Leia live a simple life (similar to Uncle Ben) farming (which Han really hates). Leia really enjoys it though and you can see her use the force to help plants grow in little ways in gardening. Han and Leia are older, with two teenage twins: a boy and a girl. We’ll call the girl Jaina and the boy Jacen. Han and Leia are very protective of their children since there are rumors that teenagers have started to become missing recently. So when Jaina and Jacen want to hike the wilderness of Tatooine the parents make sure to send Chewbacca with them who is now little more than a glorified chaperone. As the three, Jaina/Jacen/Chewie leave, Han sits at a watchtower watching them from a distance as they disappear over the horizon. The watchtower is eerily familiar.

Back to Jaina and Jacen and their chaperone Chewie. We see that Chewie is old, mostly deaf, and can barely see. He frequently falls asleep where Jaina and Jacen stop. Eventually the twins escape their chaperone Chewie but get lost. When it seems like things couldn’t get worse the twins fall into a trap and into a dark Tatooin cave.  It’s here that we meet some desert monsters with android robot parts attached to their bodies. Acting like a gang we see that their intention is to kidnap Jaina and Jacen (as an audience we assume this is what must have happened to the local teenagers as well). The twins try to escape but just when it looks like they’ll see freedom and can make it to their vehicle they are surrounded by an entire gang of the android desert monsters. Hope seems lost until a hooded figure jumps into their midst in the center of the circle where Jaina and Jacen were surrounded. The hooded figure then starts fighting the android creatures without touching them and without the use of a weapon. It is almost like he is able to use the wind to blow away the creatures, crush parts of their heads and weapons, undo even hundreds of screws in their armor, all without touching them, but with swift motions of his hands and body movement. Star Wars fans will recognize this as work of the Force. The hooded figure then tells them to run and thus begins an elaborate chase scene with Jaina, Jacen, and the hooded figure trying to escape to the hooded figure’s vehicle. Again they think they see freedom when the “goliath” of android monsters stops them dead in their tracks. He challenges the hooded figure who says or reveals information of something along the lines of, “We mean you know harm. I haven’t killed anyone in many years and I don’t plan on starting now.” The android goliath laughs and eventually ends their discussion by saying something like, “Foolish human, the last man that was close to defeating me was a Jedi but they’ve all been dead for quite sometime!” The goliath then goes in for the kill and as he jumps to destroy the hooded figure we hear the hooded figure say, “Not all of them.” The figure whips his hood away and it is revealed to be Luke Skywalker. A green lightsaber blazes in his hands just at the right moment and the goliath android ends up inadverantly splitting his entire body in half as he dove after Luke. We see Luke stoicly/respectfully grieve that he has killed someone and then Luke says, “we have to go.” They escape from other chasing android gang members to Luke’s junky speeder from episode 4.

 Eventually they make it back to Han and Leia’s but there is not time for a peaceful reunion because they are attacked by more android desert monsters this time with vehicles and weapons. Han yells for them to all escape to the entrance of the watchtower. It is then revealed that the watchtower, partly buried in the sand, is actually the millennium falcon, mostly underground. In the chaos Chewbacca shows up and decides to stay back to fight off the desert gang and give the Solos and luke a chance to escape. Chewie gets shot. Han wants to stay back to get chewie but Leia tells Han they have to leave for the kids’ sake. Han concedes and they try to leave but the millenium falcon ship won’t start but Luke gets Leia to use the force to sense what the ship needs and to fix it. Han in the cockpit thinks chewie must have fixed it. Just as they’re about to leave a big bad guy reveals a weaponized vehicle that could destroy the ship. As a final act of bravery the “blind” still alive chewie uses his crossbow to fire an amazingly accurate shot to destroy the weapon (or the person firing the weapon) to save the millennium falcon and they are able to escape. Chewie is then killed by a Sith lord who comes out of the shadows looking very disappointed.

From there on we eventually discover that the Empire believes its way back to power against the Rebel Alliance is not bigger death stars to destroy worlds, but smaller armies using the darkside of the force to take over worlds. Teenagers were missing in Tattoine not because they were kidnapped but because they were enlisted. a Sith Lord has been training up a new generation of sith composed of teenagers that are trained in the dark side of the force. At the same time Luke starts his own Jedi training academy and Jaina and Jacen volunteer to be part of Luke’s group to learn the force. We see both groups (Luke’s good side force, and Sith’s dark side force) train their constitutants with vastly different methods. It is a similar feel to Xavier training his X-men and seeing Magneto train his. Near the end of the movie the bad group is trying to take over an important building. luke is made aware of it but feels his jedi are still too unprepared. Jaina and Jacen won’t listen and decide to intercede anyway. It seems like the good guys win when Jacen sees his sister get killed. In passionate grief he uses the force beyond the power he thought he had and kills his sister’s killer with force lightning. Ashamed of his actions, Jacen leaves.  Its then that Jaina awakes for she has not been really killed but was secretly made to seem killed by the sith lord. Neither sibling knows the other is alive. Jaina was kept alive so that the sith lord could extract information from her about the rebel alliance and luke's new jedi academy. the movie ends with her held captive by the empire.

Star wars 8: This film begins with Jaina's rescue. The rest of the film focuses on the estranged wandering Jacen eventually being manipulated into the dark side of the force by a man named something like Angel who appears to be upstanding morally and is brave but is secretly manipulating/lying. Angel acts as a devil archetype and ends up being Sith Lord in disguise (this, Jacen never finds out till the next movie). All the while, Jaina is becoming a better trained Jedi under Luke's training, but luke is adamant she not turn over to the darkside like her brother so he focuses on her force technique and not the lightsaber (which is more of an aggressive fighting sytle) much to Jaina’s chagrin. Near the end of the film we have another confrontation with the good group of “xmen jedi” and the bad group. This time the bad group wins due to Jacen’s involvement. but the good team stays alive due to Han sacrificing the millenium falcoln ship to crash into the building where the bad guys are at. Han escapes before the crash and survives.  Jacen and Jaina end up in a confrontation with Jacen as the victor after cutting off his sister's hand that held her lightsaber. He leaves and lets her live. 


Star wars 9: the empire is gaining ground and is succesfully taking over strategic locations. leia is eventually ambushed by bad guys at good guys home base. they expect her to try to use the force to stop them. instead, leia shoots them quickly with a laser gun. near the end of the film at the most important location Luke sacrifices his life to stop a really bad guy and give his jedi academy that is trapped somehow, a fighting chance to battle the newly made empire of siths and save the universe. In a final confrontation Jaina faces off with the sith lord and Jacen (now a sith). Jaina is able to convince Jacen to fight the sith lord with her once she is able to reveal how the sith lord manipulated jacen as "angel." with Jaina and Jacen fighting together they are able to defeat the sith lord and Jacen decides to make a killing blow to the sith lord. It is then revealed that this was the sith lord’s plan along, to get Jacen to give into his hate and kill once again. Jacen feeling that he is the most powerful, even more powerful than the sith lord, becomes mad with power. He takes Jaina’s lightsaber with the force and destroys it. Wielding a red lightsaber he goes in to kill defenseless Jaina with his better lightsaber skills and force lightening. But Jaina has been trained well by luke. She uses the force to evade Jacen and eventually uses the force to literally force Jacen to stab himself with his own lightsaber.  Much later, with luke’s spirit to encourage her, she starts a jedi training academy to continually defend the galaxy.
