EPISODE IX

CHILDREN OF THE FORCE

 

Fear and uncertainty rule the galaxy. Thousand solar systems join the First Order in the wake of their military detriment.

Many of the pilots sent out by General Leia Organa to recruit surviving generals after the destruction of the New Republic are thought lost.

Haunted by the recent events, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren will not rest until he has extinguished all remaining rebel forces. But the Resistance is nowhere to be found...

EXT. SPACE

PAN down to the MASSIVE WRECKAGE of Snoke's ship, splinters hovering in space, everywhere, and PUSH THROUGH to the planet Crait.

INT./EXT. CRAIT, REBEL OUTPOST - DAY

FOOTSTEPS. Stormtroopers walk in formation. FLASHLIGHTS. Troops are shouting orders at each other. Pushing deeper into the cave. Fast movements.

GENERAL HUX stands in the doorway to the room where we left Kylo Ren kneeling on the ground in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He repeats his question, somehow keeping his temper. Angular. Straight. Clear. Direct. CHIN UP. EYES DOWN. On Ren.

HUX Your oders, Sir?

KYLO REN slowly rises from the ground, HEAD DOWN, fists clenching.

KYLO REN They're gone.

Ren looks down at his fist. Hux eyes him, suppressing the urge to scoff at his silly revelation.

KYLO REN (CONT'D) Pull the division out and prepare for a full scan on Resistance activity... I want troops in every corner of this galaxy!

Ren walks through the door past Hux to take another look at the blackness of the cave, watching the stormtroopers do their work.

HUX Supreme Leader, wouldn't it be wiser to go straight after them? There's still a chance we might-

Ren tilts his head towards the sky beyond the cave.

KYLO REN They are gone, General. We must extinguish all their allies before they can reach them.

HUX I suggest you reconsider your plans, Sir. If we spread out divisions in the entire galaxy--

KYLO REN --we will have a better chance of finding them.

HUX Will that not endanger the safety of our troops? With divisions that small they might easily fight back.

KYLO REN Then it's time you do something about it, General. Prove to me that your acclaimed army is indeed what you promised it to be.

HUX Sir--

KYLO REN If you are not up for my orders I will see for someone more capable. Do I make myself clear?

HUX (hateful beat) Yes, sir.

With that, Ren makes his way and boards his Upsilon-class command shuttle stationed outside the cave and vanishes into its darkness, his cape flowing in the salty winds of Crait. Stormtroopers have already received their orders and are retreating to their ships. CLOSE UP ON HUX, waiting for his time to strike.

Notes:

I wanted to also do some music for this scene since it's the start of the movie, but I am a little burnt out on composing and arranging atm, so we'll have to do without. Anyway, this doesn't mean I won't still do it. For YouTube I will! One day, and it's gonna be epic <3

Chapter 3: Sequence 02

Notes:

No art for this sequence for now T-T I want to save my strength for the main cast >:) (some shots from this sequence made it into the trailer though :)))) Also, I haven't yet figured out where this should take place. Once I have a name I will update the planet name and maybe add some art as well.

Chapter Text

EXT. UNNAMED PLANET - EVENING

TRACKING SHOT on KARÉ KUN, dressed in her orange X-Wing pilot uniform, running down a side street. Stormtroopers hastily march down the main street right in front of her. She STOPS and presses herself against the wall into the shadow. She remains unnoticed. Karé takes out her commlink. BEELOOP.

KARÉ KUN Snap!

 

INT. UNNAMED PLANET, SENATOR LAFARD'S HOME - CONTINUOUS

MEDIUM SHOT ON TEMMIN WEXLEY from behind SENATOR LAFARD. He answers his commlink.

KARÉ KUN (O.S.) Snap, they're here. We gotta move, now!

Temmin looks up at the senator, aghast. Lafard holds a communication device. It's blinking, sending out a signal to the security bureau.

SENATOR LAFARD I am sorry.

Temmin is more disappointed than he is shocked of the senator's actions.

TEMMIN WEXLEY How can you give up so easily?

Lafard is frightened beyond reason.

SENATOR LAFARD The First Order won the war. They're everywhere. Opposing them now would be suicide.

TEMMIN WEXLEY The General needs you! We won't stand a chance without your--

STORMTROOPER SHOUTS from outside the door. KNOCKING. Both men give it a quick horrified look. A beat. Guilt and shame flood Lafard's face. His head comes down in regret. He nods sideways.

SENATOR LAFARD Take the back door.

A last desperate look -- Temmin runs to the exit. From behind a wall Lafard's son peaks and watches as Temmin escapes. He is frightened.

GLONIE LAFARD Dad? What's going on?

The senator washes off his worries quickly.

SENATOR LAFARD It's alright, son.

Glonie runs into his father's arms and buries his head into the embrace. Lafard caresses his son's hair.

SENATOR LAFARD (CONT'D) We're alright.

Another last shot on the senator, fearing for their future.

 

EXT. UNNAMED PLANET - CONTINUOUS

TRACKING SHOT: Temmin runs down the back street and hides behind some garbage cans. In the background: FOCAL PULL on his X-Wing in a small hangar, surrounded by stormtroopers. One of them waves his hand at their colleagues. The voice is distorted by the helmet.

STORMTROOPER We have Resistance scum on the run! Clear the area! Move it! Move it!

Temmin speaks into his commlink, weary of the troops.

TEMMIN WEXLEY Karé, I need backup!

KARÉ KUN (O.S.) Coming through!

WHEEEUM. From the thick clouds in the sky emerges an X-Wing. POV COCKPIT. It skilfully shoots the area clear of stormtroopers without damaging Wexley's X-Wing. SPARKS. EXPLOSIONS. Temmin ducks behind the cans and uses his arms to shield himself.

TEMMIN WEXLEY It would be nice if you could not get me killed in the process?

CUT TO Karé inside her flying X-Wing.

KARÉ KUN Sorry, love. Gotta move quick. We have unwanted company.

SMASH ZOOM on TIE FIGHTERS in the distance closing in. TIE FIGHTER CRIES. Temmin looks up at the sky.

TEMMIN WEXLEY Don't we always?

Karé evades TIE Fighter blasts high in the clouds.

WIDE HIGH ANGLE: Temmin runs to his ship and boards it.

LOW ANGLE: He takes off into the sky. Stormtroopers shoot up at him from the ground.

Back to Karé. Her X-Wing skates between the thick clouds, evading shots. The TIE fighter chasing her explodes. Temmin comes flying around the sudden beam of light.

They make it out of the atmosphere and jump to hyperspace.

 

EXT. SPACE - CONTINUOUS

Blue flashes of lightspeed dance around Temmin's and Karé's faces. Temmin clicks some commands inside his cockpit.

KARÉ KUN I take it you weren't successful?

TEMMIN WEXLEY You guessed it. Any news from the squad?

KARÉ KUN I was busy saving you... as always.

TECHNICAL WHINES. Karé checks their route.

KARÉ KUN (CONT'D) Exiting hyperspace in 2...

The two X-Wings enter REAL SPACE. There are alone, no planet around, only far away stars. Temmin and Karé take a breath.

KARÉ KUN (CONT'D) This was the last one.

TEMMIN WEXLEY The General won't like to hear about this.

KARÉ KUN Oh, I'm sure our news will only be another confirmation to her. No one has answered her distress call yet.

Temmin activates communications.

TEMMIN WEXLEY Arr-six, contact the Raddus.

The communication channel opens and hisses like an old TV. R6T6 beeps. Negative. Temmin frowns.

TEMMIN WEXLEY (CONT'D) Try again.

R6T6 beeps again. Still negative. Temmin looks up from his controls and looks out his windshield over to his wife.

TEMMIN WEXLEY (CONT'D) I can't get through.

Karé tries to establish another signal. It hisses.

KARÉ KUN Leia's code is not working either... It's like it... never existed.

TEMMIN WEXLEY They can't have just disappeared.

Another CLOSEUP on the hissing screen. The sounds fade away into nothingness.
