INT. LOST JEDI TEMPLE DORMITORY (BATUU) - NIGHT
We open on a shot of KURUK's feet as he is walking down a hallway, his steps dead silent. The silence is interrupted by the loud metallic thud of USHAR hitting his war club on the ground. USHAR walks with KURUK, letting his club scrape against the floor. They pass several bedrooms all with open doors. They glance into each room as they continue to walk down the hall. USHAR begins to mettle with our heroes.
USHAR
Come heeeeere Jedi. I promise you
a quick end. The least you can do
is save everyone's time.
KURUK
The Jedi will hear you coming.
USHAR
I want to give them a fair
chance.
KURUK
I prefer a more stealth approach.
USHAR
That's no fun. Come out Jedi!
Defend your temple!
KURUK and USHAR glance into a room and keep walking.
CUT TO:
FINN and VI MORADI are hiding in the room on either side of the open doorway. BD-81 stands on FINN's shoulders. FINN and VI MORADI whisper to each other.
FINN
Who are these guys?
VI MORADI
I was gonna ask you.
FINN
Whoever they are they can use the
force.
VI MORADI
But not Jedi?
FINN
Doesn't look like it. Eighty-one.
BD-81
Boop?
FINN
How's your map coming along? Do
you think you can get us out of
here?
BD-81
Be-boop boop beep be-beep.
FINN doesn't reply, VI MORADI looks at FINN confused.
FINN
I don't know binary yet, I
thought he'd nod or something.
VI MORADI
He says he probably can but he's
not sure.
FINN
That's good enough for me, give
me directions.
VI MORADI
What about Rey and Beaumont? If
she's not at the door...
FINN
She'll be there, and we gotta get
there too. Lead the way buddy.
BD-81
Beep beep.
FINN
Did he say go right?
VI MORADI
Yeah.
FINN
Good, I think I'm learning.
The three exit the room and go right. They take 3 steps down the hall before they hear KURUK's blaster rifle shooting the ceiling.
USHAR
Jedi!
VI MORADI and FINN turn around slowly. USHAR and KURUK are standing about twenty feet away from them.
USHAR (CONT'D)
It's a nice temple you got here.
FINN
Who are you?
USHAR
I am Ushar, and this is Kuruk. We
are Knights of Ren and if you
want mercy, you should beg now.
