The first scene in SW ep7, what would it be?

[Gorn Captain]

I'm going to forget the old "Star Destroyer overhead" image, and go for a dramatic first scene.

Tattooine.The Cantina.
The band is playing, customers are drinking and talking.

Han Solo is sitting at a table, having a drink.
Suddenly, he hears a familiar voice.
He is surrounded by a gang of Rodian bounty hunters.
Han slowly gets up, wanting to smoothtalk himself out of a sticky situation: "Hey, this is not about Greedo, right? I mean, in all fairness, the guy threatened me."
The lead Rodian raises a gun: "My father's death is just a small part of all this. My motivation is mostly business."
Han: "Can we talk about this?"
From a dark alcove, another familiar voice: "We didn't come here to talk. I didn't spend weeks, clawing my way out of the Sarlacc's belly, so we could have some nice conversation, Solo."
Solo squints: "You?"
From the shadows, Boba Fett steps into the light. His armor has been corroded from the stomach acid of the Sarlacc, parts of it seared away.
Solo: "Jabba's dead. there's no more bounty."
Fett: "My employers want to send Skywalker a message. You're no good to me alive, smuggler."

Close-up on Han's hand, unclipping his blaster.
He's facing five armed opponents.

The camera moves to outside the bar, and you hear rapid blaster fire, many shots.
As the gunfire stops, you hear the voice of Boba Fett: "Target eliminated."

Fade out....

With an accompanying DisneyLand ride in the vein of it's a small world called "Jar Jar' Musical Coronation".

(first Star Wars cold open)

Film opens on who we think is the Emperor sitting in an all new Death Star

Camera zeros in .......

Turns out to be an old and decrepit Luke Skywalker

Cue Star Wars music and crawl.

The scene opens with an enormous Princess Leia, sitting on Jabba's throne. She has replaced the vile gangster as the most disgusting creature in the galaxy. She reaches for her cinnamon-bun hair, which are now actual cinnamon buns, and scarfs them down with a diet Pepsi.

Artoo Detoo rolls into view, and projects a hologram of Luke Skywalker..."Help me Obese One...you're my only hope."

[jwyblejr]

It opens with two new Dark Lords of the Sith,Mickey Mouse and George Lucas.

[Gorn Captain]

Luke and leia are wheeling Han into a retirement home.
They are greeted at the door by two Ugnaughts...

You should be writing scripts. I like it...

[JediJaida]

It opens with a HUGE gathering of people to mark the passing of one of the greatest Jedi Masters in the past millennium.

Luke Skywalker lies in state as mourners go past his body, weeping copious tears. Many of them are former students; many others are his descendants. Still others are people that he had touched in various ways throughout his life.

There is a chorus in the background, singing a funeral dirge for him, and Queen Leia of Naboo, Coruscant and New Alderaan sits on a throne, grieving for her twin. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren surround her, as well as nieces, nephews, and their children. Her husband has been dead for twenty years, and her twin has just passed within the past few weeks, leaving her alone at the age of 125.

As Luke's body fades away into the Force, there is a huge cacophony of grief from the assembled crowd, which rapidly turns to joy as the Force Ghosts of Luke, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Qui-Gon and all of the others that passed before them come into view briefly before fading away with a smile and a wave.

Then Queen Leia calls the Jedi to arms; there is a new Big Bad to fight. One that threatens to literally suck the life out of the stars themselves, and only the Jedi can stop them. It will be an arduous fight, but they will, they MUST prevail.

[Gorn Captain]

The scene starts with the debris of the second Death Star floating in space.
You see the shaft of the Death Star, where Vader threw the Emperor into the abyss, and then you hear the voice of Palpatine: "Helloooo! Anybody there? Get me out of here!!!"

Then you hear the voice of Boba Fett in the Sarlacc: "You're complaining? I'm down here since the beginning of the last movie!!!"

[Gorn Captain]

Any serious responses are, of course, still appreciated...

With Star Wars, the crawl opens......

But immediately after, you could focus in on a 12 year old girlplaying in her room with a ship model. SHe's bored and it's late. SHe hears a voice, which we know to be the emperor. The voice tells her that the city is in danger and she has to leave. Her father enters the room, it's Luke, he starts to ask who she was talking to, but before he finishes the sentence a huge explosion rocks the area. They run through the city, fighting off rugged looking terrorists and escape to their ship. R2-d2 is also there.

Threepeo is an interpreter for leia who is high in the new republic. Han is mr mom and raising their kids who don't know their father as a scoundrel. Luke is training future Jedi and his daughter shows promise.

The trilogy would revolve around the corruption in the new republic that leia is unaware of, rebel terrorists trying to upheave the new government and the emperor gaining favor with Luke's daughter and turning her. She kills Han....why not. Han and leias daughter is also training under Luke and the third movie climaxes with their duel.

I think this is actually pretty cool and would quickly establish that the audience is in for a ride!

[Gorn Captain]

I'm kind of hoping we see Mace Windu again. So he fell out of a window, so what? Happens to me all the time...
He fell out, but survived, going into hiding for a long, long time.

We meet up with him again on Tatooine, eating at Big Bantha Burger: "Now that's one tasty burger!"

[UnderdogDJLSW]

We open up with the camera pointing at a sun on a star system with lots and lots of lens flair.....
