A/N Sorry about the wrong file problem with chapter eight, thanks for telling me, that's fixed now.


An Imperial Stardestroyer heads toward the evil planet-like battle station: the Death Star!

"What is that?" asked Mace.

"That's like the size of a moon!" said Ahsoka.

"It must be a proportion movie trick" said Obi wan. "It can't possibly be that big"

Can it? he wondered.

INT. DEATH STAR - CONFERENCE ROOM

Eight Imperial senators and generals sit around a black conference table. Imperial stormtroopers stand guard around the room. Commander Tagge, a young, slimy-looking general, is speaking.

TAGGE Until this battle station is fully operational we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped. They're more dangerous than you realize.

"A smart villain, that is" said Yoda.

The bitter Admiral Motti twists nervously in his chair.

MOTTI Dangerous to your starfleet, Commander, not to this battle station!

TAGGE The Rebellion will continue to gain a support in the Imperial Senate as long as...

Suddenly all heads turn as Commander Tagge's speech is cut short and the Grand Moff Tarkin, governor of the Imperial outland regions, enters. He is followed by his powerful ally, The Sith Lord, Darth Vader. All of the generals stand and bow before the thin, evil-looking governor as he takes his place at the head of the table. The Dark Lord stands behind him.

Anakin grumbled at seeing Vader again.

"Is that Tarkin?" asked Ahsoka.

"I knew something was up" said Obi Wan.

"We knew that Anakin was totally crazy for thinking he could work with him, eh?" asked Ahsoka.

TARKIN The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.

Everyone gasped.

"How could we let this happen?" asked Padmé. "Let the republic turn into an Empire?"

TAGGE That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?

TARKIN The regional governors now have direct control over territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.

TAGGE And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it.

VADER The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

MOTTI Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it!

"Arrogant idiot" muttered Mace.

VADER Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

That's probably true thought Anakin.

MOTTI Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fort...

Suddenly Motti chokes and starts to turn blue under Vader's spell.

VADER I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Chills of disgust swept through the audience.

"Iconic line!" said CrystalQueen.

"What?" asked Palpatine.

"Every Star Wars Movie has a few iconic quotes" said CrystalQueen. "That was one of them"

TARKIN Enough of this! Vader, release him!

VADER As you wish.

TARKIN This bickering is pointless. Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke.

EXT. TATOOINE - WASTELAND

The speeder stops before what remains of the huge Jawas Sandcrawler. Luke and Ben walk among the smoldering rubble and scattered bodies.

Padmé grimaced at the thought of her son living in a wasteland with death and violence everywhere.

LUKE It looks like Sandpeople did this, all right. Look, here are Gaffi sticks, Bantha tracks. It's just... I never heard of them hitting anything this big before.

Ben is crouching in the sand studying the tracks.

BEN They didn't. But we are meant to think they did. These tracks are side by side. Sandpeople always ride single file to hide there numbers.

"If they're from Spaceballs they sing" said CrystalQueen. "Lonestar thinks they're in Disneyland"

"What?" asked Ahsoka.

"It's a reference to a paroody of this movie" said CrystalQueen.

LUKE These are the same Jawas that sold us Artoo and Threepio.

BEN And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

LUKE Why would Imperial troops want to slaughter Jawas?

Luke looks back at the speeder where Artoo and Threepio are inspecting the dead Jawas, and put two and two together.

LUKE If they traced the robots here, they may have learned who they sold them to. And that would lead them home!

Luke reaches a sudden horrible realization, then races for the speeder and jumps it.

BEN Wait, Luke! It's too dangerous.

"But going to Alderaan during a war isn't?" asked Anakin.

Luke races off leaving Ben and the two robots alone with the burning Sandcrawler.

EXT. TATOOINE - WASTELAND

Luke races across the wasteland in his battered Landspeeder.

EXT. TATOOINE - LARS HOMESTEAD

The speeder roars up to the burning homestead. Luke jumps out and runs to the smoking holes that were once his home. Debris is scattered everywhere and it looks as if a great battle has taken place.

LUKE Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru! Uncle Owen!

Luke stumbles around in a daze looking for his aunt and uncle. Suddenly he comes upon their smoldering remains. He is stunned, and cannot speak.

Anakin wanted to shout. He'd never really known Owen and Beru that well, but these people had raised Luke. Anakin had lost his mother at the same age and never really had a father. Anakin could hardly bear the thought of all then pain his son must be in.

Determination replaces fear and a new resolve comes over him.


A/N, I have something to say about the coming movie that is probably pretty irrelevant to this story but I don't really have anywhere else to post my thoughts so I'm putting them here.

I see so many people saying "TROS is the end of the Skywalker saga so blank must happen". But the thing is, it's probably not the end . I do think it will feel like a conclusion to an over-arching story of episodes 1-9, but just imagine the amount of money episode 10 could make in 10-20 years. If Disney doesn't make it someone else will.

People also say the episode films will continue but they won't be about the Skywalkers, I think that's doubtful. There's plenty of spinoffs, but I think the main episode films will always be about the Skywalkers. They're basically Star Wars royalty, and all the movies have some theme of family, even the spinoffs to a degree. So while an arc will conclude, I doubt everything will just stop there.

If anybody read this, thanks for reading my random Star Wars speculating that is totally irrelevant to my story.
