EPISODE III PLOT (My best guess anyway)

Set Harth

First Post
Greetings Fellows Star Wars Fans,

As member of the Star Wars Universe, I SET HARTH being well versed in both Jedi and Sith lore shall reveal to you all the future events surrounding the birth of DARTH VADER, Dark Lord of the Sith. (Actully this just an opinion from your average Star Wars nut. ) :D

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Ties in nicely with ROTJ Eh?) :D

For two years civil war has torn the galaxy apart. The Republic's Clone Army under the command of the few remaining Jedi struggle to hold the pieces of the Republic together.

In the opening scenes we see Jedi Knight ANAKIN SKYWALKER as he commands his dwindling clone troops fighting a losing battle on the planet Naboo against the countless numbers of the Trade Federation's Droid Army. At his side, SENATOR AMIDALA, five months pregnant, jointly commands the defenders of Naboo. It is a hopeless battle and the two are forced to flee as the Trade Federation’s armies lay waste to the planet. All that will remain for future generations to see is a charred husk and the dying Gungan people.

OBI-WAN KENOBI, General and Jedi Master, distressed by the heavy-handed decrees of Supreme Chancellor PALPATINE argues with his former padawan learner about his increasingly ruthless tactics in fighting the Separatists. ANAKIN will hear none of it; his ego stroked by the Chancellor, has now grown out of all proportion. Time and again, the Chancellor praises ANAKIN, as a hero to the public even as he remarks on the failures of the remaining Jedi commanders, proclaiming them too compassionate and soft to wage war.

Mean while a distressed PADME watches in horror as her beloved darkens, ruled increasingly by his passions. She turns to a fellow senator, BAIL ORGANA of Alderaan, for solace. But the possessive young ANAKIN sees this close friendship in a very different light. His jealousy and fear at the growing relationship between his wife and BAIL unmans him. He falls victim to the powerful temptations of an exotic seductress, a pawn of DARTH SIDIOUS, in his efforts to draw him deeper into the Dark Side.

The Jedi Council has come to a decision. They will withdraw their support from the new ruthless regime that is slowly growing as the Supreme Chancellor seeks to subdue the rebelling systems. For this act PALPATINE vilifies the Jedi Order claiming that they abandon both him and Republic to keep there precious hands clean in the face of civil war. Appointing ANAKIN, the only Jedi with the will to fight, as his Minister of Defense, he gives the Young Jedi Knight free reign to being order to the galaxy. The Jedi Council is forced to expel ANAKIN from the Jedi Order in response to his actions.

ANAKIN newly empowered by the Supreme Chancellor, receives information on the location of COUNT DOOKU, Leader of the Separatists. He hunts down the count and brutally kills the old man. This act combined with ANAKIN’S unfaithfulness and insane jealousy of BAIL ORGANA forces PADME to face what he has become and abandon him, seeing it as the only way to protect her unborn child.

AMIDALA, BAIL ORGANA, and other senators, disgusted with PALPATINE’S duplicity, join with their former enemies The Separatists to condemn the Chancellors actions, taking COUNT DOOKU’S former place and reenergizing their failing rebellion. While MACE WINDU and OBI-WAN seek out ANAKIN in and effort to redeem him, Jedi Master YODA fearing that the their only hope may lie with the unborn child of ANAKIN SKYWALKER, attends to PADME and witnesses the birth of the twins LUKE and LEIA.

MACE and OBI-WAN’s journey leads them to Byss, a dark and fiery world, the last bastion of the Sith. There all is revealed as the Jedi confront the Sith Lord DARTH SIDIOUS, A Dark Side Spirit that had corrupted many in the last thousand years. Jumping from host to host in line of succession through master and apprentice all the way back into antiquity when the then newly created Jedi Order had destroyed the Sith Empire. Now DARTH SIDIOUS in possession of the Supreme Chancellor PALPATINE would see the destruction of the Jedi Order and the Rebirth of the Sith Empire.

Facing off within bowels of a Sith Temple MACE and OBI-WAN confront ANAKIN and his dark mistress. A terrible battle is fought between the champions of each side of the Force. Each is match for the other as the deadly foursome dance with death. Through it all SIDIOUS/PALPATINE gleefully cackles from his shadowy throne, goading them all and seemingly to feed off the dark energies produced by the battle. The luminescent blades combined with the lurid glow from the surrounding lava pits strike paint a mesmerizing shadow play upon the temples walls. This battle is stuff of legend; each combatant is evenly matched none giving any ground. A single mistake breaks the whirling stalemate and the dark lady is slain by a clean stoke from MACE’S purple sword, OBI-WAN is disarmed and lies on the ground at the sword point of ANAKIN’S lighsabre. He raises it for the killing blow but is stopped by MACE’S charge his mechanical arm is sheared away, his lightsabre falling the ground. The momentum of MACE’S charge carries them both over the precipice and into the lava below. Both OBI-WAN and SIDIOUS/PALPATINE cry out in denial.

SIDIOUS/PALPATINE barks a sharp order and clone troops file in behind him. Kill him he commands and quickly OBI-WAN finds that he needs to escape. Summoning ANAKIN’S lightsabre into his hand OBI-WAN blocks the weapons fire of the clone troopers and makes his escape. As SIDIOUS/PALPATINE is about to give the order to pursue he is shocked for the first time in a millennia. Rising from the lava lake, burnt and twisted, dripping molten rock, is ANAKIN, his features unrecognizable, kept alive by shear force of will and rage. An evil smile spreads across SIDIOUS/PALPATINE’S face.

OBI-WAN meets YODA on the planet Dagobah. OBI-WAN informs him of ANAKIN’S death, but sadly YODA knows different ANAKIN survives and lost completely to the dark side. In his son however hope remains. YODA gives LUKE to OBI-WAN telling him nothing LEIA and only that PADME has gone into hiding. OBI-WAN decides to take LUKE to Tatooine, there to be raised by his uncle for OBI-WAN no longer trusts himself to do so.

The newly proclaimed EMPEROR PALPATINE watches passively as medical druids hover about a prone figure in black. We see the figure sit up and see his face for the first time. Fresh, pink skin gleams wetly on the scared features of a man we barley recognized as ANAKIN. We watch as his features are obscured as a helmet is lowered over his head, the very ominous looking mask seals away the last bit of ANAKIN SKYWALKER. In his place now stood DARTH VADER. And the whole galaxy shall tremble at the sound of his name.

i really like this plot twist, but i doubt Lucas would go for it. a kick-butt female darksider would be cool, though. :)

hey, now this is clever!

you've come up with an explanation that i think would be amenable to both sides of the issue -- those who think Palpatine and Sidious are the same person, and those who think they are distinct beings.

In hiding on the Planet Dagobah YODA, OBI-WAN watch over PADME as she gives birth to twins!

hmm. i wouldn't have Obi-Wan present for this. his words in the original trilogy seem to indicate he doesn't know about Leia. but i might be inferring his words incorrectly. When he says, "Luke's our only hope," and Yoda says, "No, there is another," that always seemed to me like Yoda was for the first time telling Obi-Wan of Leia's existence.

maybe Yoda only gives Luke to Obi-Wan after the birth, and then helps Padme hide with Leia -- the "back-up."

of course, this HAS to be the last shot of the movie!

I've changed the story a bit, I wanted to give MACE a more heroic death and show that YODA was ultimiltly the person with all the pieces of the puzzle. Thank you for your comments

That is not only an excellent guess, that is a movie I would go and see more than once!

However, considering the chaste love story in EPII, do you really think Lucas would go for a vile seductress? I doubt it.

Benaodr
 

Set, that was excellent. I think you should consider screenplays.

My only question is how about Boba Fett? Will he appear in the 3rd movie?
 

Personally i think that Anakin's fall will be more subtle.He already has a great desire for power and to be the best jedi ever I personally think that having witnessed Dooku using to blue lightning he will want to learn how to do it.He will in his arrogance think that he can learn the secrets of the dark side without actually turning to the dark side.I think he will strugle with this through most of episode 3 but something aweful will happen to plunge him over the edge.Perhaps Padme's death.The one thing I am fairly certain of is that Anakin will not kill Padme even in a jeolous rage.I feel if he had Obi-wan would have told luke that Vader killed your parents or your mother to make Luke want to defeat Vader.
 

Ha, what fools you are! Little do you know that Set Harth is really George Lucas, trying to drum up interest on these boards and see if his next plot idea is any good. Well played, Mr. Lucas. Well played indeed.

*steeples fingers*

Excellent.

Set raises a single eyebrow "Perhaps."

I saw last year that James Earl Jones had signed for Episode 3. SO I guess that We might at least ear Vader speak.
