OMG, you guys gotta check this out. I got this from a friend of a friend, who I implicitly trust about these things, and she said that he said he works for Lucasfilm, and is "in the know". Anyways, I got a package in the mail this morning, and when I opened it up...it contained a sheet of paper with an official lucasfilm logo on it...so it's amazingly legit.
Anyway, you gotta see this, if you dare:
Star Wars: Epsiode Three: The Jedi Order Crumbles
by George Lucas
EXT - SPACE
Opening crawl reads as such: (*THIS SHOULD BE SCROLLING UPWARD AGAINST
THE SPACE*)
THE JEDI KNIGHTS, DEFENDERS OF THE FUTURE OF THE STARS, ARE IN PERIL.
THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE IS BECOMING STRONGER AND STRONGER, AND
EVERYTHING IS CLOUDED WITH MYSTERY. ANAKIN SKYWALKER, ONCE THE BEST
HOPE FOR BRINGING BALANCE TO THE FORCE, IS TURNING MORE AND MORE
TWISTED AND EVIL ON HIS JOURNEY TOWARD BECOMING A DARK JEDI.
HE HAS RAN AWAY WITH QUEEN PADME TO HER HOME PLANET AND THEY
ARE MARRIED.
MEANWHILE, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE CLONE WARS. THE ARMY OF CLONES
IS FIGHTING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND BECOMING STRONGER ALL THE TIME...
Scene pans to SPACESHIP flying past.
INT - SPACESHIP
BOBA FETT, now a teenager, is sitting in his cabin leaning against a
wall and staring off into space. The screen wiggles and wobbles and
shows a flashback of the black jedi killing his father and him picking
up his helmet. The scene returns to him sitting there.
DROID enters carrying a tray of various foods.
DROID
Master, I have procured these treats for your enjoyment.
Boba Fett slaps the tray out of the droid's metal hands and it
clatters.
BOBA FETT
Can't you see I am thinking!? I do not need treats. Now I am
thinking about a way to avenge my father's death at the hands
of the black Jedi. I want to kill him.
DROID
Boba Fett, do not act to rashly, you are due to meet your
platoon shortly and you must set a good example of them.
They are not meant to fight the jedis.
BOBA FETT
Very well, droid. Now clean up these treats, I am a busy man.
Droid begins to clean up the treats off the ground.
EXT - SPACESHIP
The spaceship docks in a big spaceship dock. All around there are
clones standing in formation, waiting to be met by Boba Fett. A ramp
lowers and Boba Fett steps off of the ramp.
Boba Fett walks up to a big group of clones and addresses them.
BOBA FETT
Please listen to me, I am your commander. I know that we are
not supposed to fight the Jedis because they are supposed to
be our friends, but I want to tell you that a Jedi killed my
father. He killed OUR father. And for this the Jedi has to
pay. We must strike at them when they least expect it.
EXT - PADME'S BALCONY
Anakin and Padme are standing on their balcony looking out into the
sunset. Anakin is older now and he has a moustache. Padme is a little
bit pregnant through her dress. Suddenly panic flashes in Anakin's
eyes.
PADME
What is the matter, my dearest?
ANAKIN
(Yelling) NOTHING! Nothing is the matter, I just had a bad
daydream.
PADME
What did you daydream of?
ANAKIN
I daydreamed that the clones who are supposed to be my friends
are going to gang up and try to kill the jedis. I don't want
them to kill the Jedis.
PADME
...Because Obie Wan is a jedi?
ANAKIN
Shut up.
PADME
I sense that you still have a soft spot in your ever more
steely heart for Obie Wan. Once you loved him like a brother.
ANAKIN
Those days are over for some reason.
EXT - SPACE
A Jedi starfighter flys fast through space and then lands on the
planet CORUSCANT. OBIE WAN steps out and walks into a door marked
"JEDI COUNCIL."
INT - JEDI COUNCIL
Yoda and a variety of weird looking jedis are sitting in a circle.
Obie Wan walks in and sits down and they all stare at him.
OBIE WAN
What is it, councilmen?
YODA
Obie Wan, decided that you should go look for Anakin we have.
OBIE WAN
Okay. I'll bet that he's living with Padme on her home planet
of Naboo.
YODA
That is what we were thinking too, except that for some
reason his presence, vague and cloudy in our minds it is.
Unusual for a Jedi this is. Usually sense them very well we
can.
OBIE WAN
This is a most disturbing development.
YODA
We were also thinking that up to something the clones might
be.
OBIE WAN
"Up to something," master Yoda?
YODA
Yes. Also we think that you should investigate this we do.
OBIE WAN
I'm going to go to my ship and do that right now.
INT - CLONE CAFETERIA
Boba Fett is sitting with a bunch of clones and eating an orange food
substance from a bowl. Everyone is eating except one clone, DIFFERENT
CLONE, who looks sullen.
BOBA FETT
You there, why do you look so sad?
CLONE
Don't talk to him, he's different, we don't like him.
BOBA FETT
We are clones, how could it be thet he is different.
CLONE
He is shorter than us and he looks different, and he has given
himself a name.
BOBA FETT
(Angry) Boy! Is this true? What name have you given yourself?
DIFFERENT CLONE
I call myself HAN SOLO, sir. Because I am in solitude because
the other clones don't like me. I am ashamed of myself.
BOBA FETT
As well you should be, boy. We are supposed to all be clones,
but you look different, which makes you a threat to our morale.
You are hereby banished from the clone army, never to return.
HAN SOLO
That suits me fine, I will make my way as a rogue.
Han Solo gets up from the table, knocks over his chair, picks up a
duffel bag and walks away. He opens the bag and there is a puppy
inside. He takes it out and kisses it on the head.
HAN SOLO
It is okay, Chewebacca, we will be all right.
