Star Wars Episode 7: My idea for a new trilogy

The world is buzzing about the Star Wars news, Disney owns the rights and have stated that they are going to make Star Wars: Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Best of all, George Lucas won't be heavily involved. This is either great news or terrible news.  I personally think it's great news and when they do come out, starting in 2015, I hope they play out something like this...

Star Wars Episode 7:

A  New Beginning

We start off 25 years after Return of the Jedi. We follow the path of someone new, that we've never seen before. He's around Luke's age in the original. It's a peaceful planet and universe that he lives in. There are no threats and not much hostility but enough to have an Alliance. This new hero is named Ben and he stumbles upon a video that shows a man in a hooded black cape discussing plans about some sort of invasion. He's never seen this hooded man before, but we the audience realize him to be a minion of the Empire.

He begins to investigate and discovers a sinister plot involving a faction of the Empire that had survived in hiding since the destruction of the death star and the death of the Emperor. After 25 years they have grown and under new guidance they have a plan to attack. He escapes the planet just as it is attacked and with no where to turn he decides to go to his mother.

He gets to his mother's house and uses a (key) to get in and steps inside. From another room he hears:

'Who's there?'
'Mom, it's Ben. I need your help.'
'Ben! I'm in the kitchen. Come in and tell me how I can help you.'

He walks into the kitchen and sits down. His mom isn't facing him, all we see is her from behind, hunched over a sink. We can't see above the neck. 'Mom...', Ben says. 'What wrong?', she replies as she begins to turn around, 'How can I help?' When she finishes speaking she is facing Ben and we see that she is no other than Princess Leia. She's older now, but it's her.

And Episode 7 ends there...

Star Wars Episode 8:

The Empire Strikes Again

Ben has told his mom, Leia everything. Right away she realized the Empire had returned. She tells him her story and he is shocked, not knowing any of this before. We learn that a few years after he was born his dad, Han Solo, disappeared without a trace. He's about to be told more when they hear an explosion.

The empire has attacked. They take over the city quickly and Ben and Leia are promptly captured. Before they are hauled off in a ship, they are rescued by Leia's secret bodyguards (she is a princess...) and she informs them they need to get off the planet. They find a ship and once in, the pilot asks her where they are going. She tells them they are going to find her brother.

Once they are in space they see the Empire's fleet of ships, the main ship is a gigantic, bigger than the death star and the largest space Destroyer, Mega Destroyer which is surrounded by dozens of smaller destroyers and other various ships. Ben and Leia are spotted escaping the planet but they jump into hyperspace just in the nick of time. We fade out to black and...

...fade into a desert planet that looks familiar. It's Tatooine and we see a man walking through the desert. It's windy and sand is blowing everywhere. The man is covering his face and we can't see who he is. He arrives at a building out in the desert and enters. The building is a Jedi training academy, the man is Luke Skywalker.

Luke enters a control room of sorts and speaks into a microphone. Leia is on the other end. She has just arrived and is landing as they talk. Luke is informed about the Empires rise and the three of them begin to look into it further. They eventually discover where the Empire has been hiding and together with the Alliance, Luke, Leia and Ben set out after them.

When they get there they discover how big the empire actually is. Not only is there a planet surrounded by three death stars but the entire planet is overrun and ruled by the empire. They have utilized the planet and made it into a gigantic version of a death star. They realize that the only way to destroy the Empire is to destroy the planet and the only way to do that successfully would be from it's core.

Luke realizes something and says:

'There's only one man alive who can do that.'
'Who's that?' Ben asks.
'You're father. Han.'
'But he's missing.'
'We know where he is...' Luke and Leia say in unison.

Episode 8 ends there...

Star Wars Episode 9:

Worlds Removed

We open on the Empire traveling through space and attacking and destroying various planets. With in days they have destroyed over half a dozen planets. The alliance was unprepared and were not ready for this surprise attack. Together with Leia, Luke and Ben they hatch a plan to destroy the planet. But first Luke and Ben need to go get Han.

It turns out Han got caught up in some bad business with the wrong people and the only way for Leia and Ben to survive was for him to disappear. They find Han, older but still super cool. He's been in hiding with Lando Calrissian, who was mixed up in the same bad business. After Ben and Luke explain to Han the situation, he elects to go but Lando stays behind.

On their way back to Leia, the people searching for Han discover he's back. The set out after him. When they make it back to Alliance headquarters, the Alliance are just about ready to suit up and attack. As they set off they are attacked by the people after Han. Just in the knick of time, The Millenium Falcon comes out of no where and saves the day. It's Lando!

The Alliance make their way to the Empire's planet. When they get there a long space battle begins. All three Death Stars are attacked, tie-fighters and x-wings attack each other and a whole crew of ships head towards the planet, including a ship (The Century Siren) piloted by Han with help from Ben, Luke and Leia. They race towards the planet and just before they reach the ground Hans ship shoots a weapon that starts to dig into the planet.

As they fly through this tunnel they are held off from the attack by the coverage of Alliance fighters. They race to the center while outside the battle rages amongst the Death Stars. They destroy one Death Star just as the Siren reaches the core of the planet. The Siren a bomb just as it rushes through the center, a bomb that is set to go off in 90 seconds. As they race through the other side of the planet, they send a message to the Alliance to vacate the premises. Just then the remaining Alliance fighters around the Siren are destroyed by the last two Empire fighters. Han evades them and gets them to crash into each other just as they burst through the other side of the planet.

They see the Alliance ships bursting into hyperspace, leaving a rainbow of streaks across the skyline. The Siren speeds away from the planet and from the rear window we see the planet get smaller, but then it explodes and we see the explosion spread throughout space. The remaining two Death Stars are destroyed by the shockwave and debris. And just as it is about to hit The Siren they jump into hyperspace.

Our heroes have saved the day. They have banded together again and finally defeated the Empire for good.

Episode 9 ends there...

Of course there is a whole lot more that would go on to propel the story, and it would have a more solid ending (I did just think of that a few hours ago) or at the very least a more sound ending, but the idea of having to destroy an entire planet would work as it is like the Death Star in Return of the Jedi but on a larger and more grandios style. It would be a long epic and tough space battle that would be awesome to be seen. Plus all the original cast returning to their roles and having to work together again.


That's my idea, hope you liked it... I think if the new trilogy is anything like that it would be awesome!!!!!!!!
