I’d hoped to gain a co-plotter/co-writer to help me with this script, but no one expressed interest. Since I’m going nowhere fast on my own, and because I’ll be limiting my time on the forum, development of this script is now on official indefinite hiatus.

I don’t want to leave anyone hanging, so I’ll be posting the broad outline of the story below.


PLOT THREAD 1

Senator Gume Saam's death is officially ruled a suicide, but someone who believes otherwise (Palaptine? Relative of Saam's? Anonymous?) hires Siri to do her own private investigation into the senator's death. Siri eventually uncovers evidence that Saam's suicide was faked. Soon other senators begin dying under suspicious circumstances. All these dying senators have one thing in common: they're all supporters of Chancellor Palpatine. Eventually, the assassin behind the murders is caught and the identity of their employer uncovered (it's not Palpatine).

PLOT THREAD 2

Busy with her investigation, Siri has no time to train Darth. She contacts Obi-Wan and they agree to place their son in his care for the time being. There is friction between Darth & Obi-Wan.

PLOT THREAD 3

The Sith Brotherhood decide to stage another raid for Sith artifacts. The artifacts in question are owned by a socialite, located on a major world. This'll be the largest, most public raid the Brotherhood's ever made.

PLOT THREAD 4

At this point, Threads 2 & 3 converge. Anakin & his acoyltes make their raid, whereupon they discover that there are no true Sith artifacts to steal; it was all part of a ruse to lure Anakin into a trap, and Obi-Wan & Darth are there, in on it. In the ensuing battle, Obi-Wan & Darth are captured and the Sith escape. Taken back to Vjun, the Jedi are given run of the castle grounds, though explosive collars around their necks will keep them from ever leaving the planet. While in captivity, Ahsoka expresses interest in Darth. This draws the ire of Galen; he and Darth become bitter rivals.

PLOT THREAD 5

For the past sixteen years, Dahlia has been administering a birth control drug into Nashira's food. After sixteen years, Nashira has finally developed a resistance to the drug and has conceived. However, sixteen years of taking the drug have wrecked irreparable damage to her nervous system; in three-to-five years, she will die. Anakin & Nashira make the trip to Korriban. There, Anakin asks the Sith spirits to heal her. They refuse to heal her (why?). Returning to Vjun, Anakin & Nashira agree for her to be sealed in the Sith statis casket until a cure for her illness can be found.

PLOT THREAD 6

To get Darth off Vjun and away from Ahsoka, Galen decides to help the two Jedi escape. Darth refuses to leave. While Darth & Galen engage in a final duel, Obi-Wan makes his escape. Anakin cannot let the Brotherhood's location be disclosed, so he and Darth go after him.

PLOT THREAD 7

Reaching Imperial Space before Anakin can intercept him, Obi-Wan reveals the Brotherhood's location to the authorities. The news goes all the way to Palpatine. Placing WIndu in command of a _Gladiator_-class Star Destroyer, Palpatine orders Windu to "deal with" the Sith on Vjun. Travelling to Vjun, Windu's forces attack Bast Castle. Taking the stasis casket containing Nashira aboard her ship, Ahsoka manages to escape Vjun. Her ship receives heavy damage and Ahsoka herself is gravely injured before the vessel jumps to hyperspace.

ENDGAME

On Coruscant, Siri encounters Anakin & Darth. Not wanting to lose her son to the Sith, she engages Anakin in a duel.

Sensing the deaths of his acolytes through the Force, Anakin with Darth returns to Vjun. They find Bast Castle in ruin, the Sith massacred. They encounter a garrison of stormtroopers left behind on the planet. After making short work of the troopers, the two Sith learn from one of them that Palpatine ordered the command (would a lowly stormtrooper be privy to this info, though?).

Anakin returns to Coruscant to kill Palpatine. After defeating Palpatine's Jedi bodyguards, Anakin is defeated by Palpatine.

Palpatine then reveals that it is Anakin who is the envisioned Dark Emperor, that it was the Sith's grand design all along to resurrect their empire through him. All he had believed in — all he had loved and fought for — gone, Anakin is consumed by the dark side. He becomes Palpatine's newest servant.

Palpatine is elected emperor.

Anakin & Darth go to Mustafar, where construction begins on Anakin's new obsidian castle.

Finding out that Anakin has become Palpatine's servant, through his connections, Obi-Wan tracks him and Darth down to Mustafar. There he tries to sway Darth & Anakin back to the light. Anakin had fallen too far into his abyss, but Darth is stirred. The three battle. Obi-Wan is beaten down, but before Anakin can kill him, Darth turns on Anakin, striking his right hand off. Anakin & Darth then duel, coming too close to the edge of a volcanic pit, which they both fall into.

Palpatine's men find a human body, burnt but alive, washed up on shore. The body is taken back to Coruscant, where it is slowly healed/rebuilt over several weeks.

A year passes. The sexist, racist tenets of Palpatine's New Order have become evident. Palpatine's "Jedi inquisitors" are tasked with bringing dissenting Jedi in-line with the New Order.

To help his fellow true Jedi escape persecution, Obi-Wan goes underground.

Somewhere in deep space, in orbit around a brown dwarf, is Ahsoka's ship. The stasis casket containing Nashira — and her unborn — remains intact aboard.
