This is a proof of concept for a scene that I’ve wanted to make a reality for quite some time. This would take the scene from the Darth Vader 2015 run, where Boba Fett informs Darth Vader of Luke Skywalker’s existence, leading to Vader realizing he has a son. I always thought this would fit perfectly at the start of the movie, as it would lead into Vader’s frantic search for Skywalker that kicks off the start.

I’ve done my best to lay out the concept for the scene here. After the opening crawl, the screen would pan down to Slave 1 exiting hyperspace, preparing to dock on the Executor. We would then cut to Boba’s conversation with Vader, which would then lead into the probe droid sequence. I’ve cut the conversation to still hide the reveal that Luke is Vader’s son, while implying that there is something to reveal.

The execution isn’t perfect, but I hope it gets my point across. I’ve used audio from Star Wars Audio Comics on Youtube, footage from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and the “No Disintegrations” fanfilm, to try and stitch together a proof of concept. It definitely still needs work, so I hope that I can polish this over time. Please let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas!
