EXT - PHILEN - JAREL'S FARMLAND - DAY

We see a herd of Hantha eating grass in a field similar to a herd of sheep but with brown stringy fur

Soon a whistling sound followed by some shouting stirs the herd from their meals as they move in their packs

We see they are being herded by RHYS (19) trainee farmer and padawan who herds them with no problem until he comes across one that refuses to move

They both stare down at each other, Rhys raises his hand and attempts to mind-trick the animal

However, after a few moments, the animal bleats at him as if it is mocking him for his attempt

Defeated Rhys starts to clap

RHYS

Get a move on

The Hantha falls quickly in line and Rhys herds them back to the farm

EXT - JAREL'S HOUSE - DAY

Rhys closes the fence as the last Hantha enters the enclosure and looks into the distance to see JAREL (55) retired Jedi master cutting down blocks of wood

Rhys takes a swig from his canister and approaches his father who notices him

JAREL

Finished?

RHYS

Yes father

JAREL

Good, got this batch left

Rhys leans upon a tree in deep thought, Jarel finishes off the last few logs and looks at his son

JAREL

You ok?

RHYS

Hmm? Yeah, yeah

Jarel takes a seat next to him, but Rhys doesn't look at him, Jarel laughs and pats his back

JAREL

One of these days, I'll teach you to lie

RHYS

What do you mean?

JAREL

No nothing, you ready?

Rhys takes a breathe and nods

JAREL

Very well let's begin

Jarel gets up and offers his hand to Rhys which he takes

EXT - TRAINING CIRCLE - DAY

Jarel throws Rhys a stick and Rhys prepares his stance

JAREL

A Jedi's weapon is sacred, however just because we master one does not mean we limit ourselves to one

CUT TO:

Rhys shoots at some dummies with a crossbow but misses 4 out of 5 targets

He moans before he looks at Jarel

JAREL
