Sup Forums rewrites Star Wars Episode 7

Rules:
>can only use 2 original cast members from OT that are considered main characters.
>can only use 1 EU villain post-Empire timeline
>you are forbidden from making any explicit callbacks to the prequel trilogy (you may mention planets, races and merely that the Clone Wars occured)
>It cannot retcon previous plot points or retroactively change the story of any official canon material
>can be placed anywhere from 1 year after Return of the Jedi to 100.
>film has to keep in mind that canonically speaking, Vader did indeed bring balance to the Force

What do you do?

100 years after ROTJ, the force ghosts of Yoda and Obi Wan embark on a buddy cop like adventure to put an end to Mecha-Thrawn's evil reign of terror

Mecha-Thrawn's suit has some reworked Vader pieces in it

the force ghost of Anakin Skywalker is on Tattooine and is never seen or mentioned again

also no niggers

>use none of the main OT cast
>use no EU villains
>ignore the restriction on referencing the prequels
>of course not going to retcon anything
>place it 35 years after the OT
>what

>ignore the restriction on referencing the prequels
If you arent going to play along prequelbaby, then dont. I dont want that filth of a trilogy in my thought experiment.

by killing the emperor and effectively himself, vader brought balance to the force

considering all of the jedi were dead as well

luke is all there is

But Luke was good, so how was there balance if there was no one evil?

luke is all there is that we know about is what is meant

for all we know darth maul could've survived this retarded Rebels shit as well and STILL be around by the time ROTJ finishes

there will always be evil, and the movies have taught us that there will always be force-sensitives, so it's not hard to assume there will always be evil fuckers using the force

also do you think TFA doesnt acknowledge it? because it kinda does, on accident. there's only a master and apprentice for the light side and the dark.

More jar jar, he was dope

>after the defeat on Endor, the Empire is in tatters
>but the 2nd in-command-war-general for the Empire goes insane
>he broadcasts an intergalactic message congratulating the rebels and then says everyone will die
>turns out the empire bases are all equipped with "black-box" nukes
>he plans to detonate all of them across every previously empire-controlled planet
>gives them 2 days to be dramatic
>even if the rebels could find them all in that time, there's no way they could diffuse them
>billions upon billions of people set to die
>to prove he's serious, the general detonates the bomb on endor killing everyone but luke (who protects himself with the force)
>leia tries and only half blows up, dying in Luke's arms
>luke goes on a revenge mission, mowing down hoards and hoards of troopers and generals to find him before the bombs go off
>ends with him killing the general, but by now, he has fully embraced the dark side

And then 8 and 9 can be about new heroes rising up to beat luke

Make the villain Thrawn and I'd watch the fuck out of this.

that is absolutely horrible, TFA is better

in order to win you have to be better than TFA

That idea was genuinely interesting user. The fuck is wrong with you

Darth Vader killed the Jedi/Sith shitshow who each autismally focussed on one aspect of the force and tried to dominate the galaxy all the time.

He hunted and killed every force sensitive he could find until all that as left was Luke, Obi (soon to be killed), himself and the Emperor. In the last episode Luke is only able to defeat Vader by using some "dark side" bullshit, and them Vader kills himself and the Emperor. This leaves only Luke, who's not a Jedi as he hasn't had years of psycho indoctrination forced on him since a kid and isn't a sith as he was able to use his emotion without becoming a seething nutjob, and he then doesn't try to rule the galaxy like a Jedi / Sith would. He's a more complete force user than any has been in a long time.

Vader, possibly the greatest force user ever (fuck EU) killed off both sides of the force and left behind someone who as balanced, bringing balance to the force.

Sure, why not?

>luke protecting himself
>from a fucking NUKE

sure it would be neat to find out that the empire had a contingency plan and started wreaking havoc, but the way he went about it is too silly even for star wars.

if anything it would better to have look command the rebellion and weed out whats left of the empire, including that general, and killing everyone associated with it. a lot of lives would be lost, but still.

then to make that evil luke thing make a bit more sense, he could also do a hostile takeover of the empire and establish it as a new republic while, unbeknownst to everyone else, he would be repeating history as the new emperor

THEN 8 and 9 can have the new guys come in

>after the ending of RotJ Luke, Leia and Han embark on a joyrney in search of the best party in the galaxy to celebrate their victory
>on the moon Weedrian 420 they meet Lazlo Nielsen, death sticks manufacturer that recently got into trouble with the Hutts
>they and a cast of goofy aliens start great party, project X style
>que some American Pie style jokes
>all except Lazlo OD on death sticks and die
>Lazlo takes Lukes lightsaber, millenium falcon and leaves to settle his score with the Hutt

Guy who wrote it here,
I mean, I wrote it in like 2 minutes...
I was just aiming for a simple concept that lead to Luke going on a killing spree climaxing with him going full darkside

>takes place some 30 or so years after ROTJ
>Luke is tasked with rebuilding Jedi Order
>Leia is tasked with rebuilding Republic
>Empire is significantly weakened and smaller but still a formidable faction
>Galaxy is largely broken up into Empire held region, Republic held region, and wild west regions
>Empire is much the same. Emphasis on military culture, order, heirarchy, human dominant, but now with a few other species including the Chiss
>Republic is much like Prequel republic. Democratic senate composed of member planets. Emphasis on multiculturalism, liberal freedom, etc. A much more diverse demographic with various alien species including of course Mon Calamari.
>Unalligned systems have various government structures but the largest factions within these areas include the Hutts, and various other Capitalists, Mercenaries, Pirates, Drug Cartels etc.
>Republic and Empire have a temporary ceasefire while they rebuild from the wars. I will not have them fight in the first film as this would be cliche and be very similar to the previous films
>The first film in the trilogy would be for setting building. Introducing the factions, the main players.
>At this point, the Sith are gone to everyone's knowledge. Their presence will be made near the end of the 2nd movie and will become a major player in the 3rd film. They are actually basically destroyed after ROTJ. However eventually some force sensitives will discover the teachings of old Sith and revive the order
>The first film's conflict will come from outlaw factions in the unaligned system as Luke scours the galaxy for potential Jedi trainees and ancient Jedi knowledge
>The Mandelorians will be a minor faction throughout the movies but especially so in Ep 7
>The only ship I foresee being reused is the Millenium Falcon which Han uses to Smuggle between the unaligned systems and the Republic.The Millenium Falcon will however be aged and have modifications. Otherwise the factions will use new ships

fuck that, I'd rather rewrite episode 1

We are going to tie all the trilogies together. Okay?

>Sheev kills his master, Darth Plagueis
>Plagueis is reborn, like how his experiment Anakin was born, through the chaotic Force outside the rim of the universe
>begins plotting for a century, his ambitions go further than simple domination -- he wishes to harness the Force of the abyss to completely engross the universe
>scouts and researchers sent by the Emperor decades ago -- perhaps in the back of his mind to search for Plagueis --discover his new form in the outer rim
>those few individuals like Hux and Phasma are enhanced by Plagueis and return to an Empire in decay due to Luke Skywalker
>this powerful First Order gathers the remenants of Empire forces and strikes back against Galaxy -- pushing back the by then overconfident Rebel forces
>by this time Luke had founded his own Jedi Temple and had recruited many Force sensitives throughout his travels
>drawing knowledge from both his Jedi and Sith heritage and having perceived the failures of both - Luke's new Jedi Temple advocates for balance in the Force and he calls his accomplished students the Knights of Ren
>one such student was his nephew Ben Solo Ren -- dubbed Kylo Ren
>had grown up fighting alongside his father and the Rebels all the while hearing stories of his lineage and the great heroes of the Force
>Kylo feels heavy pressure due to his destiny as his Force powers are not as powerful as his uncle or grandfather
>likewise
>Kylo comes to see Plagueis as his true father because Plagueis created the Skywalker bloodline and granted them power
nt)
>by the end of the movie, Rey accepts her potential and goes under tutelage of Luke

>the First Order suddenly reveals itself and targets the Temple
>although Luke and his Knights are able to hold their own in battle, Plagueis is successful in tempting few of them to the Dark Side with promises of the power Luke was refusing to teach them
>Luke senses Plagueis' plot to destroy the universe and is plunged into a mental and spiritual battle across the Force with him he wages for years in solitude - explaining his inactivity in the galaxy for a decade
>is forced to abandon the few students who remained untempted as they scatter across the Galaxy and have their Force powers weakened from Luke and Plagueis tremendous duel sending tremors across the force -- something that doesn't affect Kylo due to his bloodline
>youngling Rey was an unspectacular student with no special traits but still a favorite of Luke's -- during the Temple's attack, Han saves her life
>Plagueis, Kylo and the First Order are scouring the universe for relics strong in the Force so as to overpower Luke with, such as Anakin's lightsaber
>Rey is hidden on Jakku, frequently visited by Han, and afraid to continue any Force training
>the lightsaber is drawn through the Force to Rey who reluctantly enters into an adventure with the deserter Finn to ferry it to Leia
>Rey's emergence in the Force is what finally breaks the decades long stalemate between Luke and Plagueis - the Force Awakens - causing the other Force sensitives across the Galaxy to come out of reclusion
>Finn is special because he was being trained from birth as a future vessel of Plagueis' power, inherited from a higher ranking officer like Phasma (theres a character juxtaposition of the main cast -- Finn and Kylo have destinies, but Rey does

>30 years post-RotJ
>Luke has reestablished the Jedi Order
>Luke has trained about 20 Jedi since, though none have yet attained the rank of Master
>his most promising student was his own nephew, Ben Solo
>sensing Ben Solo's power, Luke feared what could happen if the boy were to fall to the dark side
>with about 20 Jedi under his command, Luke decided that the new Jedi Order is ready to undertake missions across the galaxy
>their primary concern is what's left of the Empire (now called the Imperial Syndicate)
>though severely depleted there are still some Imperial ships that remain active and many Stormtroopers still on payroll
>the Empire has lost control over 95% of its former territory but they still have a few planets under their control
>Stormtroopers went from the face of the Empire to a galactic boogeyman, thought of as bandits now
>the Imperial Syndicate has become the largest and most efficient crime cartel in the galaxy and uses its illegal enterprises to keep itself funded and functional
>nobody knows who leads the Syndicate, rumors abound
>the New Republic doesn't see the Syndicate as a major threat
>since the New Republic doesn't have an official organization to fight the Imperial Syndicate, veterans from the civil war have taken it upon themselves to come together and hunt down the Imperial remnants
>they call themselves Rogue Brigade and they have aligned themselves closely with the Jedi Order
>leading Rogue Brigade is none other than Han and Leia Solo, of course
>episode 7 is centered around Ben Solo and his companions (both Jedi and Rogue) as they work their way through the criminal underbelly of the Republic
>as they clean up the streets, we learn that the galaxy was safer under the Empire than it is now under the New Republic
>the Empire came down hard on organized crime and had nothing to hinder it, the New Republic is filled with bickering politicians who can't agree on what to do with their resources
>heroes must face reality

Is there, by any chance, a not-so-subtle implication that multiculturalism is bad and that racism and sexism are perfectly natural and justified embedded within the story?

Writing that, I didn't even realize someone could draw that implication from it.

I just thought it'd be really cool if after overthrowing the Empire and restoring peace to the galaxy, people have to ask themselves if their life is truly better now or if they simply haven't traded one tyrant for many.

I wish they would have just gone with this version.

>2008

Reminder that the "balance in the force" meme is a product of the prequels and is not to be referenced.

>Sith

>Plagueis

We're not referencing the prequels remember?

OP here:
That falls under the cateogory of "canon story element you can't retroactively change". So you can't do anything story-wise that changes it

No retarded superweapon, but have the imperial remnants return from hiding after 30 years with a full show of force.

Han and Leia are still together. Why did JJ think we would want to see our favorite characters post divorce-court?

No mary sue bullshit

Give characters actual characterization

Give enough backstory to actually give us an idea of what's going on. Nobody is asking for an hour of political trade dispute talk, but throw us a fucking bone.

another chewbacca?!

THRAWN TRILOGY

YOU'RE WELCOME Sup Forums

You can just ignore it though. There was no "balance in the force" in the OT, so just ignore that it happened.

I'm actually happy with how TFA basically ignored the PT, and I hope they don't fuck it up by bringing Plageus into it, or Sith superpowers.

Luke is the only main character from the OT. It has the same exact premise as Jedi Academy and the plot is the Dark Path.

Kylo Ren replaces Jaden, but insert a dramatic scene where Luke and Kylo argue before he defects to the dark side.

Kyle Katarn instead gets killed, by Kylo who returns to the Jedi Temple to destroy the Jedi with the reasoning that "all force users have the potential to become like Rosh".

Its too important to change or outright disregard is my point.

leia betrays luke? BUT SHE'S A GOOD GUY.

X-Wing movies of course.

No super weapon bullshit, after the Emperor's death Grand Admiral Trawn takes control of the the still remaining massive fleet of the Empire to fuck up the fledgling New Republic. He's considered very dangerous since he's a tactical genius. In order to combat this, Wedge Antilles under orders from Admiral Ackbar, leads Rogue Squadron to battle him. Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi Temple and starts training new Jedi.

I would keep TFA but change some things.

>Jakku isn't a Tattooine clone
>instead of Finn being raised from birth to be a stormtrooper, he's just a regular recruit/draftee
>Finn shows a lot more remorse/hesitation towards killing his former comrades
>Leia's forces aren't called the "Resistance", they're just part of the Republic Army
>add more worldbuilding scenes to better establish the dynamic between the Republic and First Order
>Poe is a bigger part of the story and doesn't have an awkward fake death
>no Starkiller, just a planet with an Imperial base on it
>Rey isn't adept with the Force
>Rey doesn't beat Kylo Ren in the final duel, she just barely manages to hold on until the fight is suddenly interrupted and she manages to get away
>no drawn out tentacle monster chase scene
>no cantina planet and especially none of that ugly yellow not-Yoda midget
>Luke's lightsaber is being kept with Leia
>Phasma is actually relevant
>ending doesn't have that dumb overhead shot

>Take a bottle of whiteout to the entire script
>Abandon production

There. Problem solved.

>Finn shows a lot more remorse/hesitation towards killing his former comrades
See, I dont understand this issue people had in TFA; all the scenes where he is whooping and hollering are usually scenes of intense adrenaline. It isnt like he had a real emotional connection with any of them. Nothing he did was so out of character

I'm a nigger, so fuck you. What you meant to say was, NO FAGGOTS!

It's 40 years after the fall of the Empire. The Grand Nephew of Dooku, Vudoo, collects relics of the Empire. A gets a medical Droid that was used to Treat Vader. The Droid was damaged and repaired several times over the years but one thing it keeps is a flawless medical record, among these tissue samples it keeps within itself. It has Tissue Samples of thousands of species digitized, among these, Dooku, Sidious and Vader. Vudoo has no interest in none of these of course until he becomes sick. He's somewhat of a cheap skate so he refuses to use anything from his franchise to pay for replacement organs or expensive therapies to extend his life, so he activates the medical droid. The medical droid offers a trade, if he'd let the medical droid carry on his work, the medical droid would try and increase his midichlorian count in the hope of not only making him force sensitive but extending his life considerably. "The Force sustained Lord Vader long after his body should have been able to. My calculations surmises Vader could have lasted for another day or two, so as long as the hatred he had lasted for that time." The Droid tells him about Dooku and about Vader and even about Luke skywalker and tells him that the droid who treated Luke is not only sending a subspace signal but with him there's no telling what secrets the other droid may have. Vudoo tells the droid that he's not interesting in wasting his money on any more droids, "Can't you fix me with what you have?" The Droid explains that the records and samples the other droid has would aide them in understanding fully how the midichlorians affect both sides of the force. Maybe the light side may be stronger than the dark. Vudoo relents but he warns the droid that he wants answers within 24 hours after the Droid is bought. Han's still alive but Leia has sadly passed away, as is Luke. continue:

Finn was programmed FROM BIRTH to be a stormtrooper. Finn didn't even have a real name until Poe gave him one. He had to have had at least some reservations about betraying and killing members of the only family he's ever known. You wouldn't even have to change the scenes that much, just add a couple lines or even shots to establish Finn's conflicted emotions. Though arguably it could have played a lot more into his character arc.

After the death of the Emperor and darth vader, the empire tries it's hardest to retain a firm grip on planets under their control and battle the former rebel alliance. A single grand Admiral has to carefully deploy his fleet and troops to combat the evergrowing newly declared republic forces after coming out on top a major power struggle.
In a galaxy that has exploded from civil to all out war the hero luke skywalker must find a balance between aiding the republic forces and raising a new order of jedi.

>we're not references the prequels
Yes we are. Get fucked yo autist.

>Reeee don't call them sith
Why does it matter that they were given a name honestly?

I wouldn't because ROTJ literally ends everything. The dark side dies with the emperor, the empire has fallen, Vader redeems himself in sacrifice and gets to embrace his son in his last moments, Luke has finished his training and become a true hero. There is nothing left worth expanding upon.
Just retconning and adding more bad guys and heroes will add nothing but superfluous fluff, might as well be straight up capeshit at that point.
