Chapter I
He wakes up in a large room. Looking around Luke Skywalker sees his sister and his friends Han and Chewbacca waking up next to him. They seem just as disoriented as him.
“Leia, Han, Chewie? Are you alright?“ He asks them.
“Yea kid,“ Han answers and Chewie replies the same.
“Where are we Luke?“ Leia asks her brother.
“No Idea.“ Luke replies.
“Maybe they know,“ Han points to other people who seem to be in the same state as the four friends.
At the other side of the room.
Anakin Skywalker had a lovely evening with his wife Padmé Amidala when a bright blue-white light filled the entire room, the next thing he knew was that he woke up in this room. Padmé is lying next to him, stirring, waking up.
“Padmé are you alright?“ He asks, concerned.
“Yes Ani.“ She replies to him and hugs him.
Looking around the couple recognizes Obi-Wan, the Jedi Master Windu and Yoda albeit Yoda looks older and other people unconscious. Looking further they see the four friends.
“Who are you?“ Anakin asks
“We-“ Luke starts but he gets interrupted by a grunt from Chewie.
Chewbacca pointed at a young Ben Kenobi who just woke up.
“Anakin, what did you do now?!“ Obi Wan scolds.
“Ben?!“ The twins are shocked.
“Who is Ben?“ A confused Tortuga asks.
“Snips?“ Anakin asks, happy to see her. Anakin walks up to her and notices that she is older since he last saw her. When she left the Jedi Order.
“Hey Sky-Guy. Long time no see,“ Ahsoka smiles. Looking at Padmé “Padmé“
“Hello Ahsoka.“ Padmé greets her friend who is like a little sister to her.
The four friends observe the scene with confusion. Leia recognized the former Queen and Senator of Naboo who died almost 23 years ago and Fulcrum. Luke realizes that the man who is standing before him is Anakin Skywalker, his father.
“Quiet, introduce us we must. The will of the force it is,“ Master Yoda says beside him Mace Windu. “From different times we are, I can tell.“
“So you saying we time traveled?“ Han huffs.
“Yes, that is what he is saying.“ Windu replies. Grumpy as always.
“This is getting better and better.“ Han mutters ironically.
“Master Yoda I am,“ Yoda introduced himself “Luke just left for Bespin.“
“Master that was months ago.“ Luke says.
Windu who was next in line says “I’m Master Mace Windu and the last thing that happened was that Maser Obi-Wan wants to come to the council to report the rescuetion of the Chancellor.“
“I’m Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan and the last thing that happened was…“ Ahsoka trails off “That Rex and I captured Darth Maul and were on the way to Coruscant.“ She lies. Ahsoka couldn’t figure out a way to say ‘Well I fought my old master who turned evil and tried to kill me‘.
“I’m Obi-Wan Kenobi. I rescued the Chancellor with Anakin."
“I’m Padmé Amidala, Senator of Naboo.“ Padmé stops; she can’t say that she was with Anakin. “I’m not entirely sure what was the last thing that happened.“
Leia remembers that her father has told her about the former queen and senator of Naboo. But she strangely thinks she has seen the woman before, something that shouldn’t be possible. Padmé Amidala died over two decades ago.
“I’m Anakin Skywalker,“ Anakin says “Same as Obi-Wan and Padmé.“
Luke feels his sister’s anger raising “Don’t Leia!“ He tries to calm her.
“ But he!“ She wants to argue but Luke looks at her saying “ Not now! We need to figure out what's going on here.”
“I’m Qui-Gon Jinn, I just got back to Naboo. Obi-Wan and I fought a Sith.“
“Master.“ Obi-Wan is happy to see his old Master.
“Hello Obi-Wan, nice to see that you kept your promise.“
“I’m Han Solo.“ Han says “And that is Chewbacca,“ Chewbacca grunts happily.
"Chewie!" Ahsoka happily stands up and hugs the Wookie.
“You two know each other?“ Han asks, confused.
“Yes, we met when we both were captured by Trandoshan game hunters in the Clone Wars.“ Ahsoka explained.
“I’m Leia Organa,“ Leia says simply.
“Like Bail?“ Padmé asks.
“Yes, he is my father,“ Leia answers.
“I thought Berha can’t have children,“ Padmé presses further.
“I’m adopted."
“I’m Luke Skywalker,“ Luke says.
“Skywalker… Like Anakin?“ Obi-Wan asks.
“Yes, Anakin, I am your son.“
“I have a son.“ Anakin says happily “We have a son.“ He whispers to his wife.
Leia watches this scene emotionlessly.
“The real question is how do you have a son, Anakin?“ Windu asks sternly.
“Well…“ He starts looking at Padmé who doesn't know what to do either. “Padmé and I are married s-“
“You broke the code!“ Windu “I knew it!“
“A Discussion for later that is,“ Yoda dismisses, calmly as always.
“Anakin, I knew there is something going on between the two of you… but that you are married…“ Obi-Wan trails off.
“If you make me decide between Padmé and the Order. I chose her.“ Anakin defends“ I will always choose my family!“
Luke looks happily at his parents and even more that he would choose them over the Order. Like he did on the second Death Star. Family over power. He steps forward and for the first time he hugs both his parents.
His sister on the other hand glares at Anakin and Padmé. Additionally she couldn’t understand how someone could love Vader.
A Blue-White light emerged and on the side of the wall orange writhing is showing up.
“What is this?“ Ahsoka asks.
“I think we are going to watch a movie. Snips.“ Anakin smiles
They rearranged how they are sitting to face the ‘movie-wall‘
A long time in a galaxy far, far away…
A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the main title, followed by a roll-up, which crawls into infinity.
Episode I
“Episode I?“ Ahsoka asks “How many are there?“
“No idea Ahsoka, but I have a bad feeling about this,“ Obi-Wan says.
The Phantom Menace
‘Tormoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic.
“ Republic?! How old is this.“ Leia asks shocked, the Republic fell over 20 years ago.
“What do you mean by that?“ Padmé asks “You make sound like there is no Republic anymore.“
Leia wants to answer but gets stopped by her brother.
“ It’s better if they don’t know it yet.“ He says through the force.
The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute.
Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to and from the small planet of Naboo.
“The blockade of Naboo,“ Anakin says, amazed.
“That was 13 years ago,“ Padmé can’t believe it.
While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates
“As always,“ Padmé says, annoyed.
“This will ever change,“ Leia says, a bit sad.
“You’re a politician?” Padmé asks, smiling. Of course Bail Organa's daughter follows into his footsteps.
“Yea,” Leia answers.
“You are much like her.” Luke speaks through their bound.
“I know,” Leia speaks back but unsure what to think of this reveal.
this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace, to settle the conflict…‘
“ With short negotiations,“ Obi-Wan jokes at Qui-Gon who smiles slightly
In the cockpit of a cruiser, the Captain and the Pilot maneuver closer to one of the battleships.
Qui-Gon: off screen, Captain.
The Captain turns to an unseen figure standing behind him.
Captain: Yes, sir?
Qui-Gon: Tell them we wish to board at once.
“That’s you,“ Han points at Qui-Gon.
Machinery beeping. The Captain turns back to a view screen, where Nute Gunray, an odd looking Neimoidian trade viceroy, waits for a reply.
“Nute Gunray.“ Padmé snarls.
“Who is this?“ Luke asks shy. He doesn't know much about the clone wars and what happened before.
“He is the Viceroy of the Trade Federation and he blocked my planet after I was elected,“ Padmé explains.
Captain: With all due respect, the ambassadors for the supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately.
“ He is nervous.“ Anakin notes
Nute Gunray: Yes, of course. As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal,
“Yea totally legal.“ Padmé sneers and Anaking hugs her gentle
Nute Gunray: and we’d be happy to receive the ambassadors.
The screen changes to the ship landing in a landingbay on a battleship. In the landing bay dozens of battle droids are looking at the ship.
“There are many droids.“ Luke comments
A Protocol Droid, TC-14, waits at the door of the docking bay.
The door slides open and two cloaked shapes step out of the bay.
TC-14: I’m TC-14 at your service.
TC-14: This way.
The droid lead them into a conference room
TC-14: We are greatly honored by your visit, Ambassadors. My master will be with you shortly.
“The short was long,“ Qui-Gon comments.
TC-14 leaves
The hooded people take off their hoods. Revealing Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan: I have a bad feeling about this
Luke, Han and Leia grin at each other amused by the young Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon: I don’t sense anything.
“Perhaps he got old,“ Ahsoka mumbles.
“Ahsoka…“ Anakin warns her. Grinning.
Obi-Wan: It’s not about the mission, Master. It’s something… elsewhere, elusive.
Qui-Gon: Don’t center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.
Obi-Wan: But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.
“ Future mindful you must, but define your present it must not. Future always in motion,“ Yoda says.
Qui-Gon: But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, young Padawan.
Obi-Wan: Yes, Master. How do you think this trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor’s demands?
“No, he did not.“ Qui-Gon says
Qui-Gon: These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short.
“Right in both ways, Master Jedi,“ Padmé smiles
At the bridge Nute Gunray and Dautlay Dofine stand stunned before TC-14
Nute Gunray: shaken, What? What did you say?
“There is someone scared,“ Anakin mocks.
TC-14: The ambassadors are Jedi Knights, I believe.
Dofine: I knew it! They’re here to force a settlement.
“Yes, that was our intention,“ Obi-Wan says.
“But it got replaced with aggressive negotiations,“ Anakin says smiling.
“What are aggressive negotiations?“ Mace asks.
“Negotiations with a lightsaber,“ Ahsoka answers. Smirking. Anakin smiles proud.
Nute Gunray: Distract them. I will call Lord Sidious.
“Lord Sidious? The Sith Lord who we are currently looking for?“ Anakin asks.
“He was behind the blockade…“ Padmé says.
Dofine: Are you brain-dead? I’m not going in there with two Jedi
Dofine turns to TC-14
Dofine: Send a droid.
The door to the conference room slides open, and TC-14 enters with a tray of drinks and food.
Obi-Wan: Is it their nature to make us wait this long?
Qui-Gon: No. I sense an unusual amount of fear for something as trivial as this trade dispute.
Obi-Wan takes a drink so does Qui-Gon.
Back on the bridge, Nute, Dofine ad Haako are before the hologram of Darth Sidious, a robed figure whose face is obscured by a hood.
Darth Sidious: What is it?
Dofine: This scheme of yours has failed, Lord Sidious. The blockade is finished. We dare not to go against these Jedi.
“The slimy git is scared,“ Han jokes.
Darth Sidious: Viceroy, I don’t want this stunted slime in my sight again.
Dofine turns away
Darth Sidious: This turn of events is unfortunate. We must accelerate our plans. Begin landing your troops.
Nute Gunray: My Lord, Is that legal?
“No, but that is besides the point,“ Padme whispers.
Darth Sidious: I will make it legal.
“Spoiler. He did not,“ Ahsoka jokes.
The chancellor should never have brought them into this. Kill them immediately.
Nute Gunray: Yes. Yes, my lord. Uh, as you wish.
The hologram vanishes
In the docking bay a battleship droid destroys the republic cruiser.
“Aw shit. That was a nice ship.“ Anakin and Luke speak concurrently.
Back in the conference room Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan leap to a standing position activating their lightsabers. TC-14 jumps back, startled, spilling the drinks on his tray.
TC-14: Sorry.
Gas flows out of the vents.
“That doesn't look good.“ Leia comments
Qui-Gon: Dioxis.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan each take a deep breath and hold it.
Outside of the conference room is a hologram of Nute Gunray surrounded by battle droids.
Nute Gunray: They must be dead by now. Destroy what’s left of them.
“No, they are not,“ Windu says.
The hologram fades off and a battle droid opens the door. TC-14 stumbles out carrying the tray.
TC-14: Oh! Excuse me.
Battle Droid Commander: Check it out, Corporal. We’ll cover you.
Battle Droid Corporal: Roger, roger. o
In the cloud of the conference room two laser swords light up.
Battle Droid Commander: Uh-oh. Blast them.
The droids open fire on the Jedi but they deflect the fire. And destroy all droids.
“Good job,“ Anakin and Ahsoka commend.
Back on the Bridge Nute Gunray and Dofine are standing for a view screen.
Nute Gunray: What’s going on down there?
They How: We lost transmission, sir.
“They were watching the entire time?“ Obi-Wan says.
Bevor the conference room more droids are getting destroyed
“Good technique Obi-Wan,“ Qui-Gon compliments.
Back on the bridge
Dofine: Have you ever encountered a Jedi Knight before, sir?
Nute Guray: Well, no, but I don’t- Seal off the bridge.
Battle Droid: Yes, sir.
Dofine: That won’t be enough, sir.
“Have that kept you out?“ Luke asks
“Partly.“ Obi-Wan answers
Nute Guray: I want droidekas up here at once!
“What are droidekas?“ Leia asks
“Nasty droids. They roll like a ball and have shield generators,“ Ahsoka answers.
Dofine: We will not survive this.
Down on the ship Master and padawan cut several droids in half. Qui-Gon begins to cut through the door to the bridge.
Nute Gunray: Close the blast doors!
The huge, very thick blast door slams shut, followed by a second door, then a third. There is a hissing sound as the huge door seals. The screen changes to Qui-Gon who noticed that the blast doors are close
Nute Gunray: That will hold them.
Outside a single battle droid runs forward the two Jedi only to get destroyed by Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon pushing his lightsaber further in the door making it glow
“A Lightsaber can cut almost everything,“ Luke says, proudly.
“You have one?" Anakin asks his son.
“Yes,“ Luke answers and clips his Lightsaber off his belt. Showing it to Anakin.
“Nice work.“ he compliments.
Dofine: They are still coming through.
Nute Gunray: This is impossible!
“Damn they are scared.“ Chewie raws/grunts
Qui- Gon still has his lightsaber and continues to melt the metal more.
Dofine: Where are the droidekas?
Outside two destroyer wheel droids roll down the hallway at full speed. Just before they reach the bridge area, they stop and transform into their battle configuration.
“That are Droidekas.“ Ahsoka clarifies
Obi-Wan: Master! Destroyers!
The droids activate their shield and start firing at Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. The Jedi materialize at the far end of the hallway
Obi-Wan: They have shield generators!
Qui-Gon: It’s a standoff. Let’s go.
Just before the door explodes, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vanish.
“Kid, you can do that, too?” Han asks Luke.
“I think so.” Luke says.
The destroyers deactivate their shields, turn around and fire at the Jedi who run down the floor.
On the Bridge Nute Guray and Rune stand before a view screen watching the battle.
Rune: They’re no match for droidekas.
Tey How: Sir! They’ve gone up the ventilation shaft.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan appear at a large vent in a giant hangar bay. They are careful not to be seen. Thousands of battle droids are loading onto a landing craft.
Qui-Gon: Battle Droids.
Obi-Wan: It’s an Invasion army.
Padmé leans against her husband who comforts her. Trying to make the memories less.
Qui-Gon: It’s an odd play for the Trade Federation. We’ve got to warn the Naboo and contact Chancellor Valorum. Let’s split up. Stow aboard separate ships and meet down on the planet.
Obi-Wan: You were right about one thing, Master. Looks amused at Qui-Gon, The negotiations were short.
“Ah see, Obi-Wan does have humor,“ Anakin mocks.
“Who would’ve guessed?“ Ahsoka joins in.
“Sometimes I asked myself if it was wise to put you two together.“ Obi-Wan says in defeat. Too much Skywalker sassiness.
Back on the bridge:
Tey How: Sir, a transmission from the planet.
On the view screen, Queen Amidala appears in her throne room. Wearing her elaborate headdress and robes, she sits surrounded by the governing council and four handmaidens.
Rune: It’s Queen Amidala herself.
Nute Gunray: At last we are getting results. To Queen Amidala, Again you come before us, Your Highness.
“Not like I had a choice,“ Padmé comments.
Queen Amidala: You Will not be so pleased when you hear what I have to say, Viceroy. Your tarde boycott of our planet has ended.
“Why the monotone voice?“ Anakin asks.
“First to not show feelings and second because it was harder for other people to tell me and my handmaides apart when we switched places,“ Padmé explaines.
Nute Gunray: I was not aware of such failure.
Queen Amidala: I have word that the Chancellor’s ambassadors are with you now and that you have been commanded to reach settlement.
Nute Gunray: I know nothing of any ambassadors. You must be mistaken.
“Sure, and I’m the Emperor himself,“ Luke comments.
“LUKE!” Leia scolds her brother and punches him in the arm.
“Who is the Emperor?” Anakin asks with confusion all written over his face.
“Later.” Leia says glaring at her brother.
“Sorry.” Luke apologizes to his sister.
Queen Ammidala, surprised by his reaction, she studies him carefully
Queen Amidala: Beware, Viceroy. The Federation has gone too far this time.
“ It Did!“ All of them agree.
Nute Gunray: We would never do anything without the approval of the senate. You assume too much.
Queen Amidala: We will see.
The transmission ended, the Queen fades
Rune: She’s right. The senate will never-
Nute Gunray: It’s too late now
“What did they get themselves into?“ Qui-Gon says with pity.
Runa: Do you think she suspects an attack?
“Yes.“ Padmé answers
Nute Gunray: I don’t know. But we must move quickly to disrupt all communications down there.
The screen fades off
