Rise of Skywalker barely gave him anything other than a few exasperated screams. It's a character beat that feels not only satisfying, but necessary. With his help–and by harnessing his traumatic past–he's able to turn the tide and preach the good word of the Resistance to his former brothers. But, real god damn choices.įinn, for instance, inspires First Order stormtroopers to find something worth fighting for. Not cop-outs, like making Rey's parents "no one".and then the children of the most powerful Sith lord ever. Not lightweight moments, like Finn, Rey, and Poe merely hugging at the end, with no sense of what sort of interpersonal relationships transpired between the three of them. Not small choices, like unplugging C-3PO only to bring him back again. Better or not, what's evident on the pages of this unverified text is, the writers, if they really were Trevorrow and Connolly, were prepared to make some choices. And it comes from the bowels of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.Ĭlearly, this is a very different story than Rise of Skywalker. The beacon is "analog," so it's undetectable by the new Empire's advanced fleet. While Rey tracks down Ren–and cuts through the satisfyingly vicious Knights of Ren along the way–Leia and the Resistance concoct a plan to send out a beacon across the galaxy in search for someone, anyone, to come help kill the First Order.

Rey goes to stop Ren, who, after being trained by the Sith monster who instructed Emperor Palpatine's master, has finally gone full Sith Lord, with a Darth Vader mask of his own. The two stories converge when Rey discovers Ren's quest for an unbeatable ancient Sith power–which, by the way, he almost fully attains. Soon I will be more powerful than any Jedi. Your Master promised you strength, but you feel hollow. Haunting his nephew like a spirit.Īnd where did your path lead? You’re a ghost. The sequences would have given Mark Hamill a chance to actually show off his range, as he did in Last Jedi. Just as we saw in the concept art, he's lurking around Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar, in search of an ancient well of power from a Sith temple known as "Mortis." And, again, just as the leaked imagery showed us, he's being haunted by the ghost of Luke Skywalker. Kylo Ren, absent from the opening of the film, is on a mission of his own. Rey begins the film disguised as a Tusken Raider, until she whips out her double-sided blue lightsaber to lead the Resistance as the last Jedi, a hero and inspiration to all. Finn, Poe, Rey, and Rose Tico–who has a deservedly large role in this version of Episode IX–are operating under cover, attempting to detonate an orbital ring that would bring sure disaster to Hux's gigantic military operation. Much of Duel of the Fates takes place on Coruscant, where the First Order has established their stronghold. If it's a fake, then whomever wrote this has a future in show business. No offense to fan fiction writers–but this shit is not fan fiction. But, if you've been keeping up with all the leaks, it is kind of hard to believe that this draft is anything but the real deal. So, things were inevitably set to change in a pretty big way anyway. And even if it really is an early draft of the project, it's worth keeping in mind that, at the time, Carrie Fisher was still alive. We have no way of knowing if this script is legit.

Late last week, the PDF was finally shared in full.

Or, at least, some semblance of what he had in mind. The elusive PDF, allegedly, was Colin Trevorrow's original plan for Episode IX that was abruptly cancelled when Disney fired him in 2017. After that, screenshots of an actual script began appearing on Twitter and Reddit. Then, the leaked concept art–which was verified by Trevorrow himself. First there was the script breakdown last month. For weeks now, rumors about the existence of a 2016 draft for Duel of the Fates had been sprouting up all over internet.
