FADE IN: A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY.... STAR WARS EPISODE VII - ECHOES OF THE PAST Text crawl: The time of evil is over. The Jedi knights, custodians of justice in the universe, have long since fallen into legend. The former galactic empire has been replaced by the galactic union. Comprised of hundreds of planets working in alliance, the union ushers in a new era of peace and reconciliation. Luke Skywalker, the last and most brave of the Jedi, lives a solitary life as a farmer on the remote planet of Strayus. His days of adventure and heroism are long passed. However, the echoes of the past never stay silent Text crawl ends. Camera pans down from the disappearing text onto the vastness of space. A huge dirty, neglected spaceship - an old freighter class - tears through the spaceways. A much smaller, sleeker craft leaves from the freighters shuttle bay. The craft heads toward a planet. As the craft descends into Strayus atmosphere the interior is shown. It is a class C planet. Non-industrial, an agricultural world. Onto a large city and the camera pans/wipes to smaller settlements. Onto a few buildings and a farm. This is the home of Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi in the galaxy. EXT. STRAYUS TOWN MARKET - DAY Busy market full of patrons. Luke is buying food. Luke has a beard, unkempt hair. He is older with the experiences of a full life etched on his face. His clothing is functional looking. He carries a weathered looking rucksack. Luke is chatting with some market traders. The dialogue is not heard but Luke smiles and appears in good mood. He buys some fruit and meat. He places them in his rucksack. FARM Luke returns to his farm. A small boy (age ten) stands at the entrance. LUKE SKYWALKER Here... I bought these. He opens his hands to reveal some fruit. LUKE SKYWALKER (CONTD) Take some. The boy takes the fruit. Has a bite. BOY Mmm, delicious. Any more? LUKE SKYWALKER Some other time. Got work to do. BOY Its true, isnt it? What they say. That youre a Jedi. LUKE SKYWALKER Theyre long gone, kid. Luke pats the boy on the shoulder as if to signal a friendly goodbye. Luke walks towards his home. The boy watches him. INT. LUKE SKYWALKERS HOME - DAY Luke in his home - a modest dwelling. Luke places food in a storage area. He walks into his main living room. His lightsaber rests in a cabinet. There are no other objects visible from his past. Luke walks over to windows. Looks out onto the vast horizon. Voices stir from the past. Wedge from Ep 4, Han, Leia Vader trying to turn Luke to the dark side, Yodas wise mentoring. Memories flood back into Luke's mind. EXT. STRAYUS TOWN - DAY Craft (seen previously) landing on the outskirts of the main town. Ramp extends from the craft and sinister looking men exit on their bike speeders. Their clothing, weaponry and demeanor indicate they have evil intent. They are ruthless mercenaries. Two advanced looking robots also ride bike speeders. Robots are tracking Luke's location with heat signature devices. The men and robots speed away heading towards Luke's farm. 2.
