Celălalt scenariu pentru Star Wars Episodul 9

A apărut pe net un alt scenariu pentru filmul Star Wars episodul 9. A fost scris în decembrie 2016 de Colin Treverrow și Derek Connoly pentru Disney. Scenariul a fost însă respins, cei doi au fost dați afară și a venit JJ Abrams cu o idee nouă, cea pusă în practică în The Rise of Skywalker.

Nici primul scenariu, intitulat The Duel of Fates, nu era însă rău. A fost scris cu o săptămână înainte de moartea actriței Carrie Fisher, așa că o include pe Leia. Pe scurt, scenariul continuă natural episoadele 8 și 9. First Order conduce galaxia, Kylo Ren devine și mai rău, împăratul Palpatine nu trăiește în secret pe undeva, iar filmul nu se termină cu o reabilitare a lui “Ben” și nici nu se galopează cu caii pe un star destroyer.

Continuing with the split story structure of The Last Jedi, the film opens with Rose, Finn, C-3PO, and R2-D2 spearheading an assault against the now promoted Chancellor Hux on Coruscant to activate an old Jedi beacon that would re-establish galactic communications for the Resistance.

Meanwhile, Poe, Rey, and Chewbacca instead go on a distant journey to find a more Force-centric solution to the Galaxy’s problems.

Kylo Ren, on the other hand, is busy tracking down Palpatine’s old master, “Lovecraftian” monster Tor Valum, to finish his training in the dark side, after stealing a Sith holocron Palpatine left behind for Darth Vader pinpointing Valum’s location in case he died and Vader needed a new way to train a turned Luke in the dark side.

Along the way, characters argue over whether Kylo Ren can be redeemed, with Rey believing in him and Finn and Leia being more skeptical (Here, we get a particularly cute line where Rey tells Finn that he’s the one who convinced her of the power of redemption in the first place).

Luke, seemingly on Rey’s side, also takes advantage of his Force ghost powers to haunt Ren throughout the film, trying to turn him back to the light. In case you’re thinking the whole film is just talking heads and philosophy, though, don’t worry.

While fan favorites like Babu Frik are absent in this draft, we instead get Finn and Rose hijacking a Star Destroyer, Chewbacca flying an X-Wing, a droid modeled after Darth Maul, and Rey wielding a new hybrid weapon constructed from her Force Awakens staff and the shattered remnants of Luke/Anakin’s lightsaber after it was destroyed in The Last Jedi (how exactly did she put that thing back together in Rise of Skywalker, anyway?).

After a film’s worth of adventure, the story would conclude on Mortis, a planet from the Clone Wars cartoon that once served as home to a number of beings that can only be described as Force Gods.

Here, Rey would duel Ren as the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Luke appear to try to turn him back to the light, before ultimately failing and deciding that he must be defeated for the good of the galaxy. If you’re wondering where Anakin is, it seems Ren would have dropped his Vader-worship by this point in the film, throwing his helmet over a cliff and claiming the old Sith Lord betrayed the dark side by letting love weaken him in the end.

On the less mystical side of things, Lando Calrissian would meanwhile be busy uniting the Galaxy’s smugglers to form a navy to take down the First Order fleet.

Acesta este rezumatul de pe Geek.com. Pentru mai multe detalii, citiți această discuție de pe Reddit, unde cineva a extras mult mai multe idei din scenariu.

Nu-i nici o garanție că ar fi fost un film mai bun, ci doar diferit. Eu v-am spus deja ce probleme am avut cu The Rise of Skywalker, iar pe măsură ce a trecut timpul mi-am dat seama că, pe scurt, filmul nu a avut nimic memorabil, nici o scenă care să rămână în istorie, nici un dialog bun, nici un personaj de care să-ți pese cu adevărat.
