Here is my opening scroll for Episode 0.5 The Bureaucracy Awakens

Hoping to have the whole thing written in the next month and will make a new thread to post it on - unfortunately I write all day for a living so will have to limit it to late nights.

The dead vote! Uproar in the CHOMMEL SYSTEM where aspiring politician SHEEV PALPATINE has won election to the SENATE of the GALACTIC REPUBLIC by a wide margin with a vote total that exceeds the amount of living sentient beings in the NABOO SYSTEM.


Unknown to voters and politicians alike is that PALPATINE is secretly DARTH SIDIOUS, who is planning to topple the REPUBLIC and destroy the JEDI ORDER with a sinister long-term plan that will ultimately lead to the revenge of THE SITH.

But first, SIDIOUS must go through new senator orientation in the business administration building on CORUSCANT where he will learn more about his living quarters, stipend, how to submit meal receipts for reimbursement (provided the meals are for Senatorial purposes), and how to get a temporary parking pass for his airspeeder for the SENATE PARKING GARAGE until such time as a permanent parking pass is made available to him.

20 pieces of concept art just leaked from Trevorrow's draft, half of which are below. For the rest, along with captions/context, click the link...

Man, I love so much of this. The Coruscant rebellion, specifically, looks like it would have been so epic. There's a dystopian, almost Japanese punk rock anime vibe to that stuff that's just so cool.

I'm interested in his use of the balcony at the opera house. Can he only invite people to the bubble opera for senate related reasons? Is it his personal balcony? Does he have to submit a conflict of interest form if the opera house is bidding for a senate retreat? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS.

Talk about overcomplicating the issue, the regular guillotine worked just fine, not sure a laser version is a huge benefit.

On a more serious note this concept art makes me think this movie would have also been terrible, but at least in a new and creative way.

No blood makes the cleanup a breeze

I dunno, there was still plenty of blood coming out of that arm that Obi Wan took off.

Starkiller and the Gorog demand their residual checks for this infringement.

Trevorrow was very good at creating strong visuals. Some of the Coruscant stuff looks awesome, and force ghost Luke blocking the lightsaber would have been a gasp-out-loud moment.
Thanks and gig'em

Anyone who is disappointed with the sequel trilogy (which seems to be most people) should read the Heir to the Empire trilogy from Timothy Zahn.

I read it in high school and again after college and it still held up as a fun, cohesive, Star Wars trilogy. Maybe I'll read it again this year. It was written in the 90's and is set shortly after RotJ, so you have the original Star Wars cast back as your primary protagonists, plus some great new characters and a villain so good they actually lifted him into the Rebels TV show as a primary antagonist.

Folks disappointed in the sequel trilogy might enjoy it.
I really wish they would have just taken those books and made a few movies.
The actors were way to old to do the Heir to the Empire Trilogy.

It was a good story, although the clone thing got a bit ridiculous.

Someone has an anti Disney agenda, imo, to leak all this stuff.

Anti Disney? I'd say it's more anti the-Episode-IX-we-got-instead.

Well, yes. But Disney fired him and paved the way for Rise

Yeah, but now Trevorrow is working for Kennedy's husband, shooting Jurassic World 3. If there was truly bad blood there, I think Trevorrow would have removed himself from that whole situation/group completely. I don't think it's him or anyone in his circle releasing this stuff. I think it's just a disgruntled Lucasfilm employee or former employee who didn't like the way things turned out.

SW pre-development stuff always sounds / looks badass. So, it is difficult to look at these items and think that it would better.
Brian Earl Spilner

I'll be honest. This concept art has swayed me from "it would've been no better than what we got", to "I really wish we got this movie."

Alas. Carrie's death is probably the tragic event that made the new script necessary.

That said, I do agree that concept art almost always looks awesome and usually even better than the movie.

Yeah, it seems her death had more impact than previously thought. I had always just assumed Trevorrow started writing after her death, since we were still a year out from even TLJ releasing when she died. But now it's apparent that Trevorrow had a pretty good script with her in it, and then when she died they just couldn't figure out how to keep the same basic story and write around her. So it was less a situation of "Trevorrow sucks" and more just terrible, sh/tty timing.

Here we go. Actual pages and excerpts are finally starting to leak. The script itself shouldn't be far behind...

Those were all the leaked excerpts with page numbers visible. The rest of these are random excepts without much of an idea for where they fall in the script...

I cant buy palpatine telling vader if Luke strikes me down, here's what to do next. If that had happened either vader becomes emperor or luke does.
