EPISODE I

THE RESURGENCE OF THE JEDI

The Sith Elitists have risen to power. Led by the sinister DARTH ZEKKO, the Elitists cause unrest in order to gain complete control. Zekko and his Elitist Troops head from planet to planet, bringing death and destruction wherever they go.

The planet SCORA is their next target. Known for its KYBER CRYSTAL mines, the Sith plan on using these mines to harvest crystals for the creation of their SUPER-WEAPON. This could bring an end to the galaxy as we know it.

But hope is not lost! Jedi master VAR KELLUS has received a distress signal from Scora. Desperate to help, he races to the surface to investigate the problem at hand...

Cut to stars. Night. The music plays as we pan over Scora for the first time. The green and blue planet covers the screen. A ship zooms out of hyperspace. For the first time we see Var Kellus' ship. His droid, G-7, inside as well. The ship descends toward the surface of this lake-filled forest planet. The pine trees crunch and crack as the ship flies over them. The mossy ground blowing from the engine blasts. The two moons are illuminating the night sky. Clouds overhead.

The ship approaches a village about 10 miles from the Kyber Crystal mine. The leader of the village, Johanta Willbo, exits the main dwelling to see what the noise was. As the ship lands in the trees, the cockpit to Kellus' ship opens. G7 exits with him.

"Keep a lookout G." Kellus says.

"Yes sir." G7 responds.

Kellus approaches Johanta. Johanta notices Kellus' clothing and lightsaber.

"Thank goodness you're here. I knew someone would pick up my signal. So glad it happened to be a Jedi. I'm Johanta. Leader of this village." Johanta tells Kellus.

Kellus, hooded, follows Johanta to his dwelling. A fire kindled inside in the center adds light.

"Sit, I must ask for your help." Johanta says.

Kellus takes a seat. As he takes his hood off, a 56 year old bearded man with shoulder length hair pulled back in a Jedi fashion, he replies to Johanta. "Thank you friend. Var Kellus. I'm lucky to have picked up your transmission."

Johanta sits down near Kellus.

"The Sith have taken over. Our mine is under their rule. I have sent out multiple transmissions but no one has answered. Until now. Darth Zekko and his Elitists have started mining our Kyber Crystals. For what I do not know, but whatever it is, it cannot be good. That is why we, Scora, need your help. Please, master Jedi, hope is lost. But now, it doesn't seem too far gone. Will you help us take back our home?" Johanta pleads.

Kellus stands up. "Yes. But first I must seek council from the Jedi Order. They will know how to approach this."

G7 rushes into the house. "Sir! Multiple Elitist ships approaching!"

Kellus looks back at Johanta. "How did they find us? How do they know I'm here?"

Johanta steps back. "I-I'm sorry. They told me to send out a transmission on a frequency only Jedi can receive. They said they'd destroy my village and kill me if I didn't comply. I'm sorry Jedi. I had no other choice..."

Kellus rushes out of the house. He looks toward the snow capped mountains that tower above the village. The Sith ships descend toward the village. The sound of the thrusters echo as they zoom toward Johanta's village.
