She loses. In the end, Rey's eyes are cauterized and Hux, now a Chancellor of the First Order, commits seppuku with a decorative lightsaber. 1.0k comments. Clearly, this is a very different story than Rise of Skywalker. The character has always been Solo-adjacent, but in Duel of the Fates, Trevorrow and Connolly have him and Rey in a sort of Empire Strikes Back "will they or won't they" thing. This is both a direct extension of the themes of The Last Jedi as well as totally unexplored ground in the mainstream Star Wars franchise, as we've never had a cinematic Jedi hero embrace the teachings of both the dark and the light. But, real god damn choices. Yeah, the bad guys win a lot in this script. Mr. Sunday Movies has posted this animated version of Star Wars: Duel of the Fates, based on the script details that hit.It includes some of the … His dreams of his parents come crashing down. Not cop-outs, like making Rey's parents "no one"...and then the children of the most powerful Sith lord ever. She ties a bandana around her eyes and enters again, this time completely blind–but with the power of all her friends at her side. Their training takes many different forms (with a sequence that references Luke's training on Dagobah by having Kylo fight a specter of Darth Vader), but the final lesson that Valum imparts on Kylo is how to actually drain the life essence from a being by using the Force. But what is made extremely clear in this script–leak or not–is that Star Wars is good when there is consequence. It's a character beat that feels not only satisfying, but necessary. Chancellor Hux rules over the world of Star Wars with an iron fist, and unlike the relatively inconsequential "Final Order" we saw in Rise of Skywalker, the new Empire in Duel of the Fates is a real force of devastation. One of them, Hux's personal ship the Finalizer, is equipped with a planet busting super-weapon, which he uses to decimate Korilev. But above all–it's conclusive. The main heroes are split up in the aftermath of Korilev's destruction, with Finn and Rose on a mission to find an ancient Jedi beacon below Coruscant, one that will allow them to restore communication to the galaxy. With his help–and by harnessing his traumatic past–he's able to turn the tide and preach the good word of the Resistance to his former brothers. He falls out of an airshaft into space. None of this has been verified by Disney or Trevorrow, of course. The screenwriting is world-class. It's here that Kylo once again attempts to persuade Rey to join his side, by revealing the truth of what happened to her parents: he and the Knights of Ren were forced to execute them under Snoke's orders. For example, you have Rey over on one planet, Poe over on another planet. Towards the big finale–a starship battle that takes place mostly in the skies of Coruscant (very cool imagery there)–Chewbacca is left without a ship of his own, so he decides to hop into an X-Wing.

Apparently Rey is disguised as a tusked raider and has a double bladed lightsaber fashioned out of her staff and Luke’s saber. During all of this, we find out that Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar, to the decrepit and decaying location of Vader's castle. Its here where he removes an antique purple lightsaber (possibly implied to be Mace Windu's) and impales himself on the blade. I'm into it. Executions are a daily part of life, and the Resistance has been reduced to mere hundreds. Lando leads a huge brigade of smugglers and pirates to aid them. And, again, just as the leaked imagery showed us, he's being haunted by the ghost of Luke Skywalker. On the journey, they're stalked by a unit of Stormtroopers, and Rey actually kisses Poe in order to help them blend in. But she loses, again. Finn, for instance, inspires First Order stormtroopers to find something worth fighting for. Trevorrow takes stark advantage of the new status quo set up at the end of The Last Jedi and cranks it up to 11, making the circumstances for our heroes look more dire than ever. This turns out to be a majorly unexpected victory for the ragtag Resistance, as the Destroyer is filled to the brim with Imperial weaponry and vehicles. Like The Rise of Skywalker, Trevorrow's script doesn't reveal much information on the Knights of Ren, who in this version are made up of Jaedec Ren, twins Ott and Lorl Ren, and leader Hattaska Ren. Sixteen pages into the recently-leaked script for Duel of the Fates–which may or may not be completely fake–an alien is executed by a lightsaber guillotine. Hux, who watches this all from his comfy building in the Capitol, loses faith in his cause and retreats to his personal chambers. The good guys all battle the bad guys and they end up stealing a Star Destroyer! It's an incredibly powerful skill, and one that Kylo uses to betray his new master, killing him and absorbing his power for his own. The leaked Duel of the Fates script opens in a time when the First Order has all but completely dominated the galaxy. So, things were inevitably set to change in a pretty big way anyway. What’s going on: The leaked script — which was first shared to Reddit — was penned by Colin Trevorrow, who was originally picked to direct the final film of the Skywalker saga, and Derek Connolly. This is an incredibly shocking moment in the script, one that feels truly harrowing in comparison to the lack of stakes in The Rise of Skywalker's final battle. For weeks now, rumors about the existence of a 2016 draft for Duel of the Fates had been sprouting up all over internet. Now, after months of leaked concept art and story details, the full screenplay for Colin Trevorrow's Duel of the Fates is online, and it is radically different than the finished product. The same apocalyptic sort of imagery we saw in the leaked batch of concept art from a few weeks ago. Finn's insurrection on Coruscant only grows, thanks to the arrival of both the Resistance as well as an armada of smugglers and space pirates, led by none other than Lando Calrissian. Some information from the script has leaked previously, but the full script provides additional context as well as even more reveals as to what the story would have been like. Later, after Finn convinces the oppressed citizens of Coruscant to take up arms against the First Order and lead an insurrection in the streets, RK-514 (now Rafe) arrives with a squadron of stormtroopers, all deprogrammed, ready to fight for Finn and his cause. This content is imported from YouTube. Across the galaxy, Leia feels the disturbance in the Force and reaches out to her son, desperately pleading with him to come home. It's a bold vision for the future, one that feels right at home with the other shocking and daring choices made by Colin Trevorrow in his version of Star Wars 9. Hey, Star Wars fans. And even if it really is an early draft of the project, it's worth keeping in mind that, at the time, Carrie Fisher was still alive. Unbeknownst to them, however, the Destroyer is tracked by Chancellor Hux and the First Order, who deploy several Star Destroyers to attack the planet. After recovering from his facial disfigurement, Kylo sets a course for Remnicore, an ancient Sith planet and home of Tor Valum, an alien of unknown origin. Not small choices, like unplugging C-3PO only to bring him back again. It's revealed that it was Ren and his Knights who killed Rey's parents. Having read DOTF I can state that I enjoy it much more than TROS. We have no way of knowing if this script is legit. Leia's death doesn't really count due to the fact that Disney had to find a way to write her out of the script. Yugi Moto, having lost a children's card game, has gone all emo. Just as we saw in the concept art, he's lurking around Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar, in search of an ancient well of power from a Sith temple known as "Mortis." Prior to J.J. Abrams directing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy had Colin Trevorrow, known for the Jurassic World movies, directing Episode IX, but things went sour and Trevorrow was removed from the movie. It's a vision for the final act of the Skywalker saga that feels downright apocalyptic. First there was the script breakdown last month. The beacon is "analog," so it's undetectable by the new Empire's advanced fleet. It's metal. "Duel of the Fates" is a musical theme recurring in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and the Expanded Universe. He also happens to tell Rey that her last name is "Solana," as if that means anything to us. This time, Leia reaches out to her son, much like how she does in Rise of Skywalker. Five pages after that, Kylo Ren's face is violently mutilated by a surge of red lightning. The scene is startlingly similar to Kylo's final scene in The Rise of Skywalker, yet this time, it doesn't culminate in a misguided kiss between them. Sixteen pages into the recently-leaked script for Duel of the Fates –which may or may not be completely fake–an alien is executed by a lightsaber guillotine. His suicide would have been the perfect ending for a villain underscored by his towering ambition as well as his jealousy and insecurity. — B (@Benredemption) February 8, 2020.

Hux's arc in Duel of the Fates certainly would have been more interesting than his treachery in The Rise of Skywalker, with Trevorrow's Star Wars 9 even including earlier scenes of Hux desperately trying and failing to use the Force. Before Ren can gain control of the all-encompassing power he's been seeking throughout the film, he's confronted by the ghost of Luke Skywalker. Rey goes to stop Ren, who, after being trained by the Sith monster who instructed Emperor Palpatine's master, has finally gone full Sith Lord, with a Darth Vader mask of his own. It was composed by John Williams and recorded for the film soundtrack of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and the London Voices.This symphonic piece is played with both a full orchestra and a choir. The villain is still dead in Trevorrow's Star Wars 9, but he leaves Vader a holocron detailing the location of Tor Valum, the Sith Lord who trained Palpatine, in the event that Vader succeeds in turning Luke to the Dark Side. Rey begins the film disguised as a Tusken Raider, until she whips out her double-sided blue lightsaber to lead the Resistance as the last Jedi, a hero and inspiration to all. Duel of Fates. Duel of the Fates is cleaner and easier to spruce up a bit in my opinion. All the while, this holocron reads Kylo's DNA and determines that he's not Vader, sending a blast of Force Lightning into his face which horribly scars him. Better or not, what's evident on the pages of this unverified text is, the writers, if they really were Trevorrow and Connolly, were prepared to make some choices. Concept art that, again, was verified by Trevorrow himself. It's a dark opening, one that takes the sequel trilogy's conflicts to a desperate low unseen before in Star Wars. While those worked in the written word, we don’t know how that approach would have translated to the big screen. As he should! In the heat of their final battle on Mortis, Kylo Ren actually gains the upper hand on our hero and slashes her across the face with his lightsaber, blinding her. However, the First Order tracks them down and attacks the Jedi Temple where the beacon is held, capturing Rose and leaving Finn to wander the streets alone. While Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker starts out with an opening crawl revealing that Palpatine is (somehow) still alive and broadcasting a sinister message to the galaxy, Trevorrow's Star Wars 9 opens with a message that is effortlessly more ominous. For example, you have Rey over on one planet, Poe over on another planet. It's a sudden and shocking scene, one that sets the heroes on the move and once again reinforces the underdog nature of the Resistance. Duel of the Fates is worth a full listen if you’re curious about what it might have looked like as a finished product. His hand gets chopped off. Every product was carefully curated by an Esquire editor. I want to watch that scene. It is frequently confused with the musical theme with the same name from The Phantom Menace. DUEL OF FATES (suddenly the music speeds up and the words fly up the screen a lot faster) It is a period of civil war. Leaked. There were also accusations that the movie backpedalled on several of the decisions from Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi, which divided Star Wars fans but was critically acclaimed. But despite its promise, Duel of the Fates doesn't exactly stick the landing in the end. He comes across a Stormtrooper named RK-514, who he tases and tries to reason with him to abandon his programming and choose a new name for himself. But, if you've been keeping up with all the leaks, it is kind of hard to believe that this draft is anything but the real deal. While Rey and Poe search for the Force navigator on Bonadan, the Knights of Ren are in hot pursuit, tasked with hunting down Rey. The script for Colin Trevorrow’s Episode IX has finally appeared online! The original script for “Star Wars: Episode IX” has reportedly leaked online, and it shows a much different version of the final film than the one we got. Finn, Poe, and Rose get high honors. These children are eventually revealed to be Force sensitive, and in the process of being trained by Rey, who has outgrown the teachings of the previous Jedi by embracing the duality of emotions inside of her. My biggest issue … Great scripts are not magically delivered by the Script Fairy (tm) to the in-boxes of producers except in VERY rare cases (e.g., winning the Nicholl). These deploy entire fleets of Star Destroyers from space to anywhere, and emphasize the power held by the First Order. Even Chewie gets his due. That moment between Luke and Darth Vader is so affecting because, well, something actually happens. But one person's missing. While the script isn't perfect by any means, it's unique and exciting, two things that The Rise of Skywalker ultimately failed to be. Related: Star Wars - Biggest Explanations From The Rise of Skywalker Writer. An old version of The Rise of Skywalker script, back when it was Duel of the Fates, would have given Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren far different fates. It's not clear. Here's a portion: The two stories converge when Rey discovers Ren's quest for an unbeatable ancient Sith power–which, by the way, he almost fully attains. With a medal ceremony.
