:nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

looks pretty cool - ties it all up & matches all rumours flying around - guess this suggests at its authenticitity?




According to the opening-text crawl that begins Episode 3, the Clone
Wars continue to rage between the Old Republic and the Confederacy of
Independent Systems (The Separatists). The opening-text crawl also
reveals that the enemy Separatists have taken Supreme Chancellor
Palpatine hostage. Next, we see an epic space battle (the largest space
battle ever seen in a Star Wars film) taking place over Coruscant
between the Republic military forces and the Separatist's military
forces. General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and other Jedi Knights
enter the battle with clone troopers in star ships.

Obi-Wan is now a Jedi Master and Anakin is a full-fledged Jedi Knight.
During the battle, the Jedi use a new version of the Jedi star fighters,
which have been augmented for battle. Obi-Wan and Anakin make it their
primary objective to free Palpatine from the Separatists. Palpatine is
being held prisoner in the flag ship of the Separatist armada. This just
happens to be the biggest and most heavily fortified star ship in the
Separatist's fleet.

After much excitement, Obi-Wan and Anakin pilot their ships inside the
Separatist ship holding Palpatine. Soon after landing, General Grievous
(the half-man and half-machine leader of the droid armies) comes after
Obi-Wan and Anakin. The two Jedi manage to flee from Grievous and his
battalion by using giant tubes. Obi-Wan and Anakin then proceed to an
elevator and eventually run into Count Dooku. A tremendous light-saber
duel erupts between Obi-Wan and Anakin vs. Dooku. Grievous enters the
fight and manages to hurt Obi-Wan.

However, realizing that he might be captured or killed, Grievous leaves
the Separatist flag ship as the ship gets pounded by laser fire from the
Republic star ships. Next, Anakin duels with Dooku alone as Obi-Wan is
sidelined with his injury. Palpatine watches this duel while being
imprisoned in a chair. Palpatine also speaks during this dramatic duel.
Anakin manages to slice off one or both of Dooku's arms. Anakin then
pauses to give Dooku a chance to beg for his life. Next, Anakin uses two
light sabers to cut off Dooku's head. Palpatine lets out an evil
cackling laugh after watching Anakin destroy Dooku. To avoid
destruction, Anakin races to the control area of the Separatists star
ship so that he can safely land the heavily damaged ship. Anakin
successfully lands the ship on the surface of Coruscant and emergency
vessels arrive to quench the fire that is overtaking the ship.

Mas Amedda and Palpatine's royal guards arrive and take Palpatine to
the Galactic Senate. As Palpatine disembarks the ship that carried him
to the Senate, Palpatine is greeted by a group of Senators and Jedi
Knights. Palpatine enters the Senate and Padme Amidala is waiting for
Palpatine. Padme is wearing clothes that hide her pregnancy. Her
marriage to Anakin remains a complete secret. Before the Senate,
Palpatine announces that the Separatist leader (Count Dooku) is now dead
and that the Separatists are in disarray. Palpatine advises that the
Republic must strike against the Separatists while the Separatists are
in chaos.

For Obi-Wan's next mission, the Jedi Council orders Obi-Wan to hunt
down General Grievous. Anakin is upset that the Jedi Council does not
adequately acknowledge the fact that Anakin destroyed Dooku all be
himself. With great cleverness, Palpatine feels Anakin's great anger
and uses this to Palaptine's benefit. Palpatine asks the Jedi Council
to allow Anakin to be his bodyguard. Anakin is eager to serve Palpatine
because Palpatine has long been a great supporter of Anakin's career.


Meanwhile, Bail Organa is seen at a meeting in Padme's residence. The
focus of this meeting is to have Palpatine relinquish his emergency
powers. Powers which Palpatine promised to relinquish at the end of the
Clone Wars. In other parts of the galaxy, the Jedi and clone trooper
forces continue to battle the Separatist military in various star
systems. On Kashyyyk (the Wookiee home world), Yoda oversees clone
troopers during an important battle. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Mace
Windu manages to piece together the Sith conspiracy and comes to the
conclusion that Palpatine is evil.

Windu arrives at Palpatine's office to air his suspicions directly to
Palpatine. Anakin is present with Palpatine as Windu asserts his belief
that Palpatine is up to no good. With massive hate, Palpatine unleashes
a strong current of dark side lightning at Windu. With great skill,
Windu deflects this lightning with his light saber. Here and now, Anakin
is left with the most important decision of his life. Will Anakin save
Windu from Palpatine or will Anakin strike down Windu and save
Palpatine?

Palpatine claims that the Jedi are corrupt and deceitful. Furthermore,
Palpatine states that the Jedi themselves have always sought to
undermine Anakin's destiny. The choice is clear for Anakin. Anakin and
Mace Windu engage in a very dramatic duel. Palpatine helps Anakin during
the duel. Anakin finally slays Windu.

Next, Palpatine finally reveals to Anakin that Palpatine is indeed a
Sith Lord. Palpatine cleverly convinces Anakin that the powers of the
dark side will bring Anakin's great promise to fruition. On a new
planet never before seen in a Star Wars movie, Obi-Wan (with his
contingent of clone troopers) finds General Grievous. A spectacular
battle erupts between Obi-Wan and his forces vs. Grievous and
Grievous' battle droids. The battle is waged on a high cliff top
with a breathtaking view around them. What follows next is a chase
sequence, whereby Obi-Wan (riding a computer-animated lizard-like
creature) chases after Grievous, who is riding a device that looks
similar to a Hailfire droid.

The chase comes to an end and Obi-Wan and Grievous launch into a
light-saber battle. During this battle, Grievous' arms split in two
and Grievous is suddenly wielding four light sabers against Obi-Wan.
Eventually, Obi-Wan finishes Grievous off with blaster fire from a gun.
While dying, Grievous' eyes are ejected from their sockets. Back on
Coruscant, there are demands that Palpatine must surrender his emergency
powers since the Clone Wars appear to be at an end. Palpatine states
that he will not give up his emergency powers. Palpatine now claims that
he must keep his emergency powers to battle the threat posed by the Jedi
Knights.

Palpatine claims that the Jedi are traitors to the Republic and that
the Jedi were actually conspiring with Count Dooku to defeat the Grand
Old Republic. Palpatine insists that the Jedi are to blame for the
millions of deaths and the destruction of many star systems during the
Clone Wars. Also, Palpatine relates the story of how a Jedi Master tried
to assassinate him. Luckily, Anakin was there to save Palpatine from
this would-be Jedi assassin. Palpatine retains his tyrannical powers and
announces the creation of his Empire.

Next, Palpatine orders the Republic military to find the Jedi and
destroy them all. Those opposed to Palpatine (Padme, Bail Organa and Mon
Mothma of Chandrila) hold a meeting to discuss what has just transpired
regarding Palpatine's extreme power grab. They decide to take no
action at the moment and to see how things will develop. An
assassination attempt is made on Bail Organa's life. Bail makes his
way to a landing platform where his red speeder is waiting for him. To
avoid laser fire, Bail hides behind his speeder. Bail successfully
escapes from Coruscant.

After this attack, Padme leaves Coruscant for Naboo for her own safety.
Now the clone troopers receive their orders to hunt down the Jedi.
Obi-Wan has to kill a clone trooper, who had become Obi-Wan's friend
during the Clone Wars. The decimation of the Jedi by the clone troopers
is seen occurring in several star systems across the galaxy. The Jedi
are vastly outnumbered by the clone troopers and have no chance to save
their lives. With many clone troopers at Anakin's side, Anakin attacks
the Jedi Temple and kills all the Jedi younglings and any Jedi who tries
to protect the younglings. Palpatine dispatches Anakin to the planet
called Mustafar (which is a lava planet) to destroy the remaining
Separatist leaders. Then, Anakin heads to Naboo to speak with Padme.

Anakin tells Padme that he is headed to Mustafar to destroy the
Separatist leaders. Also, Anakin tells Padme that the Republic is coming
to an end, that Palpatine will turn the Republic into an Empire and that
Anakin has already killed some Jedi Knights. Moreover, Anakin claims
that the Jedi are traitors and very corrupt. The Jedi can no longer be
trusted. Padme believes everything that Anakin tells her and she
supports Anakin 100 percent. Anakin continues to dearly loves Padme and
still believes he can trust her and only her.

Meanwhile, Yoda happens to be on Kashyyyk when the clone troopers turn
on him. Chewbacca and other Wookiees save Yoda from the clone trooper
betrayal. While on Kashyyyk, Yoda finds an ancient Sith manuscript. Yoda
believes he must go to the Jedi Temple and meditates on future events.
Meanwhile, Obi-Wan hides on a new world. The leader of this world
graciously welcomes Obi-Wan and promises to help Obi-Wan's plight. On
this world, Obi-Wan finds out about Anakin turning against the Jedi.
Obi-Wan decides to head for Naboo.

On Naboo, Obi-Wan finds Padme at her villa. At first, Padme does not
trust Obi-Wan and refuses to tell Obi-Wan anything. However, eventually,
Padme tells Obi-Wan that she is pregnant with Anakin's child. Padme
tells Obi-Wan of Anakin's future plans and that there still remains some
good in Anakin. Obi-Wan plans to leave Naboo without Padme, but Padme is
able to hide on Obi-Wan's star ship without Obi-Wan realizing this.
Obi-Wan tracks Anakin's star ship to Mustafar.

During his meditations, Yoda comes to the conclusion that if he can
destroy the Sith Master, then the Sith Apprentice will automatically be
destroyed. Sidious confronts Yoda at the Jedi Temple. Yoda engages in a
terribly violent fight with Sidious. Yoda ends up losing this battle.
Next, Obi-Wan arrives on Mustafar, but Anakin has already eliminated all
the Separatist leaders. Obi-Wan and Anakin begin to argue. Suddenly,
Padme appears believing she can help them both. Anakin is upset with
Padme because she led Obi-Wan right to him. Anakin feels betrayed. As a
result, Anakin becomes very angry, loses self control and ends up
putting the Force choke on Padme. Padme hits her head when she falls to
the ground. Obi-Wan ignites his light saber. The legendary duel between
Obi-Wan and Anakin has begun and it begins amongst the dead bodies of
the Separatist leaders.

This duel is very epic in nature. It takes place in several locations.
Volcanoes erupt and the ground shakes. One location is a mechanical
room. In another location, they hang from cables and finally end up at a
volcano crater. Obi-Wan manages to cut off Anakin's other real arm.
Amazingly, Anakin continues to duel Obi-Wan using his mechanical arm.
Later on during the duel, Obi-Wan cuts off one of Anakin's legs
(perhaps even both of Anakin's legs are severed). Anakin slips on the
slope of the volcano and plummets into molten lava. Next, Obi-Wan leaves
the area and takes care of Padme, who was badly hurt by Anakin's Force
choke. Clone troopers arrive and rescue Anakin. These clone troopers
then board a star ship with Anakin and take off.

After the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin conflict, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Bail Organa and
Padme are traveling on the Tantive 4: Blockade Runner for Alderaan.
However, an emergency stop on a new world has to be made when Padme
becomes gravely ill. The Skywalker twins are removed from Padme.
Subsequently, Padme does die after giving birth to the Skywalker twins.
Elsewhere, Anakin heals inside mechanical armor. Anakin regains
consciousness, awakens in his black Darth Vader armor and is told that
he is responsible for Padme's death. Anakin is so distraught that he
destroys the room he is in with the Force. Anakin is also upset at
finding out that he has become more machine than man as a result of his
duel with Obi-Wan. In his anger, Anakin Force chokes many people and
uses the Force to throw droids around the room. Next, Palpatine gives
Anakin the moniker of Lord Darth Vader.

A funeral is held in Padme's honor. Some of her handmaidens and Sio
Bibble attend the ceremony. From the afterlife, Qui-Gon Jinn
communicates with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan (with Bail Organa and Yoda's input)
decides to hide the Skywalker twins on Tatooine with Owen and Beru Lars.
It is Bail Organa in his Tantive 4: Blockade Runner that carry Obi-Wan
and the Skywalker twins toward Tatooine. Yoda arrives on Dagobah via an
escape pod from the Tantive 4 as the remaining Jedi Knights scatter all
across the galaxy trying to escape the Imperial onslaught. Yoda plans to
wait patiently until it is time for Yoda to do his part in bringing down
the Sith. However, Bail's star ship comes under fire from
Palpatine's forces. Bail's ship is boarded by Palpatine's
minions. Obi-Wan and young Luke escape aboard an escape pod headed
towards Tatooine. Bail Organa claims young Leia to be his own child.
Also, Bail Organa makes certain that C-3PO's memory will be erased. On
the bridge of a star destroyer Palpatine, Vader and Tarkin are seen
standing and looking out into space. They are watching the death star
being constructed.

After arriving on Tatooine, Obi-Wan requests that Owen and Beru Lars
take care of young Luke. Obi-Wan tells Owen and Beru that Anakin died
fighting in the Clone Wars. Understandably, Owen blames the Jedi for
Anakin's fate stating that the Jedi never should have taken Anakin
from Tatooine in the first place. Owen and Beru decide to raise young
Luke as their own child and seek to never see Obi-Wan again. Obi-Wan now
goes by the name Ben and stays close by to watch Luke grow up. Fade to
black. Roll end credits.

Do you realize what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all! hehe, nice nice, I cant believe you dropped a bomb like that, I hope its all real.;)

[FlangeMonkey]

Where did you get this info from? It doubt if this is real, it sounds all too much to me like a fanboy's wet-dream of what should happen...

[unrealnils]

I didnt think much :(

[wilco121]

flange monkey - you may be correct & confirm Mr lucas did not email me personally. but hey - thought it was worth a post. for an average 'joe star wars fan' it makes an interesting read and for the uber fan you mention - may just help for that 'vinegar stroke'!!! ;)

[hookbeak]

i think it fits in except for one glaring error -


that leia says she remembers her mother. Which would be difficult if she dies 20 minutes after leia is born.

[ryonhilluk]

Its been going round the net for a while, sounds good.

[Jedibitch]

yes the leia thing is an issue, but you can't deny it sounds like a belting story.

problem i have is each one of the prequels has sounded like a fantastic film on paper yet somehow disappoint when transferred to film.

I remember thinking the clone war at the end on epi 2 sounded quite amazing yet it was so much like a cartoon it was just boring.

we shall wait and see if Lucas does the impossible and saves the franchise from more mockery!

P

[wilco121]

maybe leia used some jedi mind trick at birth to remember what her mother looked like. or the virtua-photo album?

seriously doubt lucas would let through a major plot hole like that. that would be unforgivable (more so than jarjar binks!)

[ryonhilluk]

You know, Bail Organa may have married and never told her that they weren't her real parents.

Unless i have missed something and that she knew they weren't her real parents.

Im confused :searchme:

[Niceguygeoff]

Sounds good to me. People can scoff all they want at the validity of this, but I remember reading a 'scriptment' of AOTC at TheForce.net which was bang on, and this was about 18 months before the film was released. And if Episode 3 (or should that be 'The Creeping Fear') is half as good as the above outline, then it should be a blast!

Watching Jedi (just last night in fact), I always wonder why Luke says to Leia "Do you remember your mother, your real mother?" when he hasn't even told her yet that she's really Anakin's/Vader's child. So is she aware that she's adopted (hence Luke's "real mother" line), or is this more sloppy scripting?

[robzinski]

Looks pretty good from that, but...

5 lightsaber duels? Won't that take away from the big Obi-Wan/Anakin battle?

The Anakin in the jedi temple bit seems very dark. Showing him kill the kids will be a definite no-no if they want a kid friendly rating

[SqueakyG]

That one sounds better than most fanboy-invented synopses, and I really like it. However, one big flaw makes me think it isn't genuine: It's far too long! The story presented above would take 5 hours to tell! There are far too many planets, and too much travelling between planets.

[DVDwishes]

I'm not going to read anymore rumors from episode 3 at all. I've done this before with numerous other movies and found it did not help the movie at all in the end. I want to be totally surprised when I go in there! I remember seeing episode 2 in a midnight show and thinking it was over when anakin lost his arm. I thought dooku would get in his little spaceship and head on off. I thnk I was the only one in the theater when yoda pulled out the mini-lightsaber and went to town. I'm shouting and screaming and yelling 'go yoda' and I looked nothing like a true fan because I didn't read every spoiler before heading into the theater. no more of this especially for movies I am counting to see.

[robbiez666]

sounds good but all pretty irrelevent if Lucas wont let anyone act or get a good script written. He's good and ruining great ideas it seems

[Channard]

The thing about the prequels is that they're utterly without substance. From watching the originals you know that Anakin's going to bite off Obi-Wan's finger and fall into Mount Doom . They're entirely built on foreshadowing alone - the whole Death Star reveal at the end of ep 2 was just laughable, achieving a level of near-Spaceballs self parody. The fact these films exist just detract from the originals - Anakin and co's fate was best left to the imagination.

Not a problem in George's world of discontinuity :D

[DVDwishes]

padme dies? yeah, that would turn me into darth vader too :lol:

[TheoGB]

I'm resigned to that fact that I'll find Ep III sucky. The trailers for Ep II made me think the co-writing would make it stand up better than Ep I, but unfortunately it still a disappointment for me.

My main problem is that both films could probably be much better with a decent editor who told Lucas what was wrong and fixed it.

He's surrounded by sycophants, IMO. Listening to Rick McCallum on the commentary to Ep II is just painful: he just says everything's great, and how George had this really great idea, or that really great idea... :(

[gavinhanly]

I may be being stupid - but I don't remember seeing this before:

Feel free to berate/close if this is old news.

Please do not leech images. upload them to your own webspace.

[Roborob]

:wave: I don't remember where But I have seen it before.

It could have been in Star Wars Insider which I some times look at in newsagents (although I never buy it).

It seems a safe bet Bomba Fett will be in Ep 3. the cast list on the official site still has many empty spaces and so But if I remember Ep 3 is only 2 years after Ep 2 and in that the clone program only started a little over 10 years ago.

Bomba is an UNALTERED clone so no fast growth and so the maximum he can be is 13. :thumbs:

That picture does not look like a 13 year old. :suspect:

May this be a plant? :suspect:

[Bish]

gavinhanly, I've merged your thead with this one.

[cervaro]

But was he unaltered in the mental & psychological sense only? I can't remember exactly from the movie as Sky haven't shown it for at least a couple of days! ;)
