Let's be honest. The Prequel Star Wars Trilogy is a giant bowl of disappointment. Just for entertainment's sake, I will write a whole new fanfic to have some kind of redemption with Star Wars that can blot out the 8 hours of disappointment and bad writing.
So let us begin before Disney sends its Storm Troopers after me...
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
STAR WARS
EPISODE I
THE PHANTOM MENACE
Turmoil engulfs the GALACTIC REPUBLIC. Senators of all backgrounds oppose the increasing taxation of outlying star systems.
Corporations cry out to the capital of CORUSCAUNT, begging for a tax cut. The TRADE FEDERATION releases a statement to the press mentioning "A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM."
As events snowball near chaos, worrying the Galactic Senate; the Supreme Chancellor sends JEDI KNIGHTS across the galaxy to appease the planets of their grievances...
A maroon ship flies above an emerald planet, looking like a serene orb of hope within the vast darkness of space. It could shine as bright as the stars within space's background. The ship flies into the planet's atmosphere, within the ship sat two Jedi Knights both sitting calmly as they observed the course before them. As the Republic Cruiser they ride in reaches the atmosphere the co pilot receives an alert and presses the button to prompt televised communication.
"Republic Cruiser, this is Bravo One, state your business."
An elder looking Jedi answered in a calm, soothing voice of wisdom, "We were sent by the Supreme Chancellor as ambassadors to the Senator."
There was a moment of delay, the pilot looks as if he was confirming the information received between the Jedi and whoever he was currently communicating with. The Pilot looks towards the camera and briefs, "We will escort your ship to your authorized landing pad. Steer away and we will open fire, am I understood?"
"We will comply, thank you." the Jedi replies.
The Cruiser is escorted throughout the city of Theed, flying over brick buildings that show eons of tradition and legacy left behind by the Naboo's ancestors. The cruiser lands within its authorized place. The eldest Jedi motions his youthful looking counterpart to follow along while the pilots remained where they were. They depart from the ship and meet up with a formally dressed female standing before them with guards surrounding her with their hands on their blasters. The Jedi approaches the entourage and bows before her.
He greets, "Greetings, your Majesty. I'm Master Qui-Gon Jinn and this is my Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi."
She smiles warmly, "I'm pleased to welcome you two here. I assume the Republic sent you. Come, let us walk."
He walks adjacent to her while a young Obi-Wan follows behind with the Security still extremely cautious even with their hands removed from their blasters. The Jedi chuckled silently, with his smile obvious. Qui-Gon looks back and has a slight smirk sharing the same thought of how futile the security would be against them if they really intended assassination or kidnapping.
The queen asked, "So have you talked with Senator Palpatine?"
"The Chancellor asked but the Senator insisted that we would come so we could report any problems that you or your people would have on the actual planet, not just committees and bureaucracies."
"It's rare, the Senator is this concerned."
"Well with the circumstances of planets crying out against the Tax Reforms, the Chancellor is doing all he can to settle the disputes in the Republic."
She smiles, "Well it's always comforting to know Chancellor Valorum is concerned with his home planet."
A loud crackling is heard, one of the guards pulls out a comm. By the time the guard is able to pull out his device, everyone notices the skies filled with a wave of ships heading towards the city, some engaged by Naboo Starfighters. The rest fly above the city scape, the roars of their engines echoing throughout the streets. Qui-Gon looks to the Queen and insists with facial expressions for everyone to follow. As the group runs towards the main building of the docking bays across the open walk way, a wave of Droid Bombers zoom above the city scape dropping red balls of energy to various buildings crumble to the power of the plasma's explosion. Qui-Gon yells as the Queen is running towards them, "Move faster!"
The yelling was futile as she has to hike up her skirt in doing this until she trips. She looks up in panic only to have the Captain of the Guard offer her a hand. She takes it and he hoists her petite body across his shoulders. The two Jedi rush to his aid pulling out their lightsabers in case of their use. That proved futile too as a Droid Starfighter gets shot down crashing throught the walkway before them. They run back towards the Republic cruiser only to have the ship obliterated by more oncoming fighters. Qui-Gon pauses for a brief moment and he motions to Obi-Wan for his grappling hook as he's pulling out his own.
He has the Captain put her down and he asks, "Sir, I'm about to do something that might be offensive. Would you forgive me?"
The Captain gets skeptical at first, but then says, "Go ahead."
Qui-Gon takes the Queen by the hand, "My lady, I'm going to have to request your forgiveness or at least your cooperation."
She asks, "What are you..."
Too late to ask, she gets grabbed by the hip as Qui-Gon jumps down and throws a grappling hook at the ledge of the walkway. He orders, "Hold on!"
He feels her embrace him as they get towards the end of the rope. Their weight finally impacts the rope causing them to swing towards the rooftop of a five story building, using the Force to toss her sliding across the ceiling. She ends up sliding in front of a Battle Droid kicking open the door, weapon ready to blast her. Fortune favors her as Qui-Gon uses the Force to toss the Droid into another going through the door, knocking over an entire squad standing by in the rooms they were exiting. He then summons his lightsaber and slices apart the droids. Obi-Wan and the guards join them. The Captain orders for them to clear the building.
Qui-Gon speaks with him, "Sir, with your permission I would request you would let me and my Padawan escape the city with her."
"That is unacceptable, Master Jedi! You already proved reckless."
"Would you rather her get held captive by the invading Force?"
The Captain contemplated until the Queen spoke up, "I can't leave my home."
The officer finally agrees, "Your majesty, with respect, I would recommend you go with this Jedi for the sake of your safety."
"What about Theed?"
"We'll do what we can, but I can't make promises."
She looks pained. She had a tear running down her white make up, she sobbed, "Captain Panaka, I'll have you know you are a trust colleague and a good friend."
"Thank you, my lady. Now please...go with him."
The Captain proceeds in with a squad of soldiers into the building while Qui-Gon follows down. He proceeds out another way that leads to a bridge overlooking a flowing river. A bolt whizzes towards Qui-Gon's head and he looks up into the bolt only to have Obi-Wan deflect it, "Master, look!"
A squad of Battle Droids take cover and blast away at the group to have Obi-Wan only deflect some of them towards the droids. A few of the droids succumb to their own blaster fire, Qui-Gon joins in on deflecting bolts away while the queen stands on. She looks down at the river to see a boat they could use to take them out of the city.
"Master Jedi! There's a boat we could use."
Qui-Gon finally gathers enough energy to crumble the bridge below the droids and sends a large scrap of metal into the fast flowing river of Theed. He looks to the building to see a pair of shining orbs rolling towards them. The orbs were detaching, Obi-Wan panics, "Destroyers!"
"My lady, forgive me. You may get wet."
He looks only to see the Queen is far ahead of him jumping into the River. The two Jedi join her as the Destroyer Droids release their bolts and deploy their shields. The river's current however pulls them away from the suggested boat the Queen suggested and they hopeless drift in the fast current through crumbling buildings and falling bodies. Some burning metal comes raining down occasionally from a destroyed ship. A normal person would panic and think of the end, but Qui-Gon knew all too well about the Force. Things, people and events are placed for a reason. Somewhere within this vast galaxy, this mystical energy places things into motion and this Jedi Master experienced the Force enough to know he could trust it with his life. This was his destiny, the Force save the Queen and proceed until further instruction.
Obi-Wan however panicked, "Master, now would be a good time for a suggestion."
"Patience, my Padawan."
The Jedi would have yelled if water wasn't proceeding to drown him out. The Queen was screaming for help but then Qui-Gon saw it, they were near...near something loud, thunderous, huge and bottomless...he then saw the clear picture of a water fall. He asked Obi-Wan, "You have your grappling rope, right?"
"That was the last of it!" He said through the rapids.
"This should make things difficult!"
Qui-Gon looks clearly and sees no other way, "We'll be sharing then, Obi-Wan, get the Queen!"
The young padawan reaches out into the force in an attempt to pull her towards him, but the rapids were too much. It was even a miracle they didn't come near drowning yet. He then dismisses the Force and dives underwater and sees a body struggling to stay up. He swims upwards careful not to overshoot his position and rises up to grab her. Qui-Gon then swims ahead to the same position they were at and he starts hearing the thunderous noise he envisioned earlier.
The Queen panics, "That's the waterfall!"
The Jedi yells, "I see that!"
"We're going to fall off the ledge and die!" She yells as Obi-Wan struggles to hold her above the river's grasp. Qui-Gon ignores everything and chucks the rope towards one of the bridge's pillars, wrapping around. He orders Obi-Wan to take hold of him as Obi-Wan orders the Queen to hold on. Then they finally drift towards the waterfall and as predicted they fall and when they reach the end of the rope, Qui-Gon struggles to keep grasp. He quickly releases the wench that slides them down, having more rope pumped out, but by the time they got to the end of the rope he realizes the waterfall is high as a skyscraper in Coruscaunt. He struggles but then, he looks within the future. The Force had told him to do this for a reason, he wouldn't act this way if the Force didn't command him. He looks down at Obi-Wan who looks just as frightened as the Queen, her face pale even though her make up was washed away. Qui-Gon looks up to see a green speeder flying above and it levitates down to their level. He lets go and plops right into the speeder coming up to them. The man then speeds off away from the cliff, descending down towards the sea.
"I noticed you guys were stuck in the river. Fortunately you were smart enough to...you're a Jedi, that's why." The man laughs as he gets to an even level above the sea as he speeds towards the coast. Then they make a turn inland heading into a forested part of the planet. They were no longer in Theed.
I hope you guys enjoyed my reinvention of the Prequels. I hope I can make a start to redeem the garbage, rushed writing of a certain individual who wanted to make money.
