Adventures of the Starkiller,Episode I : The Star Wars,Star Wars Crawling Text Synopsis

 Adventures of the Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars was the second draft of the script to the film that would become Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It was begun in the summer of 1974 and finished on January 28, 1975.^[1] It was replaced in May 1975 by a new synopsis called The Adventures of Luke Starkiller (episode one) "The Star Wars."

This version of the script shows a much closer resemblance to the finished film than any of the earlier drafts. It is particularly interesting because of Ralph McQuarrie's conceptual drawings and paintings, which were commissioned to accompany the second draft. McQuarrie began work on conceptual art almost as soon as the script was completed, working through early March 1975. As such, the second draft can be said to have first established the visual character of the Star Wars saga.

Synopsis

The REPUBLIC GALACTICA is dead.

Ruthless trader barons,

driven by greed and the

lust for power, have replaced

enlightenment with oppression,

and "rule by the people"

with the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE.

Until the tragic Holy Rebellion of "06",

the respected JEDI BENDU OF ASHLA

were the most powerful warriors

in the Universe.

For a hundred thousand years,

generations of Jedi Bendu knights

learned the ways of the mysterious

FORCE OF OTHERS, and acted as the

guardians of peace and justice

in the REPUBLIC. Now these legendary

warriors are all but extinct.

One by one they have been hunted down

and destroyed by a ferocious

rival sect of mercenary warriors:

THE BLACK KNIGHTS OF THE SITH.

It is a period of civil wars.

The EMPIRE is crumbling into

lawless barbarism throughout

the million worlds of the galaxy.

From the celestial equator to

the farthest reaches of the GREAT RIFT,

seventy small solar systems have

united in a common war against

the tyranny of the Empire.

Under the command of a mighty

Jedi warrior known as THE STARKILLER,

the REBEL ALLIANCE has won a crushing

victory over the deadly Imperial Star Fleet.

The Empire knows that one more such defeat

will bring a thousand more solar systems

into the rebellion, and Imperial control

of the Outlands could be lost forever…

...And a thousand new systems

joined the rebellion,

causing a significant crack

in the great wall of the

powerful Galactic Empire.

The Starkiller would once

again spark fear in the

hearts of the Sith knights,

but not before his sons

were put to many tests...

the most daring of which was

the kidnapping of the Lars

family, and the perilous

search for:

"THE PRINCESS OF ONDOS."
