Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (Rewrite)

The Arrival

The saga begins with a ship landing on the peaceful world of Alderaan. The planet looks the same from space as it did in A New Hope, although the planets surface looks more like Naboo than the Alderaan we see at the end of Revenge of the Sith and in the Kenobi show.

The ship lands in the hangar and out steps two Jedi in hooded cloaks. They're greeted by an Alderaan representative.

"Welcome to Alderaan, Master Jedi. May I ask what brings you both here?" the Representative asked.

The Jedi removed their hoods, revealing them to be the two in the picture above. Although instead of wearing Jedi robes like in the actual prequels, they're dressed more like Luke Skywalker was in Return of the Jedi.

"My name is Qui-Gon Jinn. This is my friend - Obi-Wan Kenobi. We'd like to speak to your world's leaders." Qui-Gon said.

The Representative raised an eyebrow.

"May I ask why? It's very odd that we'd receive a visit from the Jedi Order. After all, the galaxy is at peace now." said the Representative.

"We're sure it is. But we'd still like to speak to the leaders of your world; we're worried something may be wrong." Qui-Gon answered.

"If you insist. Right this way." the Representative said.

They walked through a beautiful city, full of people enjoying their peaceful lives, but something was a bit off.

"Quite a city you have here." said Obi-Wan as he admired the architecture of the buildings they passed.

"Oh, yes. Theed is our planet's capital and the home of our king and queen." the Representative explained, "We're a very peaceful society and like to stay out of conflict. So I truly hope... there will be none while you two are here."

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan could tell there was something off about the Representative.

They arrived at the royal palace and entered. The Representative then brought them to a meeting room.

"Someone should be here soon to talk to you both, Master Jedi." the Representative said before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

"I have a bad feeling about this, Master Qui-Gon." said Obi-Wan worriedly.

"As do I, Obi-Wan." said Qui-Gon.

We cut back to the Representative as he went down a hallway and met with Nute Gunray of Caito Nemoidia. 

"I did as you asked and lured the Jedi into the room. Now please let my family go!" the Representative pleaded.

"You have done your part well." Gunray said.

It should also be mentioned that Gunray and the rest of his species don't have offensive Asian accents in this version.

Several battle droids then surrounded the Representative and aimed their blasters at him.

"Now your usefulness is at an end." said Gunray.

"No, wait! You promised- !"

But then the Representative was gunned down by the droids before he could even finish his sentence.

We cut back to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as they both heard the blaster shots.

"That doesn't sound good." Qui-Gon said worriedly.

We cut back to Gunray and the battle droids, as we the camera pans over to see a young woman with brown hair peaking from around a corner and watching them. The camera is behind her so we can't see her face.

"Dispose of the body at once." Gunray ordered, "Then deal with the Jedi."

"Yes, Viceroy." said the battle droid commander.
