With KOTE revised to my satisfaction, I’m now going to go ahead and start developing my screenplay for the final episode in my re-write, A Lost Hope.

I haven’t started on the screenplay yet (though I do have the opening crawl typed out and a good idea for the opening scene thought up) but here’s the basic plot in a nutshell:

Sixteen years have passed since the events of KOTE. The Clone Wars are long over and the Empire is at peace – at peace and in a great economic depression; the only ones profiting during this time are the criminal syndicates and the corrupt senators in their pockets.

Guided by the spirits of the long-departed Lords of the Sith, Anakin has spent these last several years rebuilding the Sith Brotherhood. Establishing a base of operations on the rainy planet of Vjun, Anakin has relentlessly searched the Known Galaxy for followers and relics of the Old Sith – the latter of which he has gathered from ancient Sith worlds and battlegrounds or stolen from museums, private collections, and heavily fortified fortresses.

Obi-Wan, now an honourary general of the Alderaanian Army, has spent just as many years pursing Anakin. So relentless has he been in his pursuit that it has cost him his family; Siri has divorced him and he is estranged from his adoptive son, Darth.

Under advisement from Siri to heal the rift between them, Obi-Wan and Darth have reluctantly agreed to form a temporary master-apprentice relationship. While living and working together, father and son cross paths with the Lord of the Sith and his followers. Captured, the two Jedi are taken to Bast Castle on Vjun, where they are imprisoned. They eventually escape, but not before Darth has been tempted by Anakin with the powers of the Sith.

There’s more to the plot, but to give too much away would be to spoil the story.
