Thousands of years before the birth of Luke Skywalker, many adventures took place. Enormous battles were fought, sacrifices were made, galaxies were ruled...These were the ancient times of star wars. These were the beginnings. These are the legends. These are the tales of the Jedi.
The film is taking place 17 years after the battle of ruusan. For those of you who are unfamiliar of the battle of ruusan, keep reading. The Battle of Ruusan took place thousands of years before star wars episode 4: a new hope. The sith were exterminated during the battle led by the sith lord Kaan. The Jedi mistakenly believed that sith were extinct, but they were wrong. One sith escaped, and he went by the name of Darth Bane...and thats where our film takes place... The Jedi have brought peace to the republic, but the recently the Republic has been struggling to keep planets in the outer rim in order. Usually things like this happen when something or some one gets so much responsibilty. The Senators of The Republic have become lazy and relaxed. Because of this, There have been rumors of small rebel uprisings in the outer rim territories. While the Republic ignore these rumors, the Jedi do not. Jedi Master Siros Khan, who believes the Jedi should use more of their power, has intercepted a message from the Republic concerning one of these revolts. Siros has called upon Jedi Masters, Trin-to Zahn and Aayr Toorie, to investigate the intercepted transmissions... The Rest is in the film...
Battles
Battle of Ruusan: Like I said before, our film will feature a battle of Ruusan flashback scene which will include three characters that are already in the movie. Trin-To Zahn, Aayr Toorie, and, of course, Darth Bane. The battle was between the army of light (Jedi) against the brotherhood of Darkness (Sith). The Sith were led by Lord Kaan while the Jedi were led by Lord Hoth. The battle consisted of seven enormous, and violent bloodbaths.(Think of Braveheart, only in the star wars universe). The Sith lost all but two of them. Sith Lord Kaan became concerned and worried. He constructed a thought bomb which was triggered after the Jedi clearly took away the last battle. Kaan took as many Jedi he could with him, but his people were wiped out completely. There was not a single Sith lord alive. Or so they thought... One Sith escaped, Darth Bane. In the fight we can tell some parts, but not any details. Trin-To Zahn fights Darth Bane in one of the battles, he also fights Bane again at the end of the movie. That is all we can tell you.
Lightsaber duels
You can not have a Star Wars movie without a decent lightsaber fight scene. You just can't. In the movie we have several lightsaber fights, which we can't tell you who it's between. But we finished the choreography for the first fight just last weekend and it looks really exciting to watch. Very fast paced. The fight will be able to download once it is completed. However we will not show the whole fight because it will give away too much.
Riot on Belkaden
This scene is pretty cool, because most of it will be done in front of blue screen. It also gives the movie a mysterious atmosphere. The Jedi have volunteered to help out the Repubulic with the outer rim territories, since it's getting out of hand. There are rumors some small bands of rebels are planning some kind of uprising. The rumors are ignored by the Republic, but the Jedi do not. This scene involves a lot of people, of course, and has a lot of action. There is things that I can not say, because it would ruin things for the movie.
Battle at Dathomir
This is another flashback scene, just like the Battle of Ruusan scene, except this battle is not pulled out of any "Lucasfilm" sources. This one is just made up by ourselves. The mercenary, Slavic, has a memory of what it was like when he was in a battle. The reason why he's thinking back is because two people (again, I can not say whom) ask him if they could help them in a strike against one of the Republic bases. This scene gives some history to our characters, we didn't want the characters to be static and just sit there, and just appear out of no where. This people fought in battles and they lost something or someone. Since our movie will eventually become a trilogy there are many things we want to do with the characters first. You'll see what I mean.
