BBY, the Empire attacked the Republic capital of Coruscant in what became known as the Sacking of Coruscant and forced the Republic to accept the Treaty of Coruscant, ending the war and beginning a tense Cold War.

Harron Tavus and the rest of the squad, the soldier finds that Tavus and the others are traitors who defect to the Empire. The surviving members of the movement flee offworld, finding sanctuary with Chornarov, the corrupt and power- hungry governor of the Republic planet Cademimu V. There, they train a new generation of Jedi and rediscover their past amongst Tython's verdant forests and mountains, though the violent Flesh Raiders pose a threat to both the Jedi and the illegal Twi'lek settlers of Kalikori village. The new Padawan of Jedi Master. Yuon Par discovers that an ancient teaching hologram has been stolen from Tython's ruins and traces the theft to a villager named Nalen Raloch, but Raloch uses his newfound Force- sensitivity to try and kill the apprentice. Studying the recovered hologram, Par and her student discover the existence of the Fount of Rajivari, a collection of knowledge left behind by the ancient Jedi Master Rajivari. Joining forces with the Trandoshan hunter Qyzen Fess, the apprentice locates the Fount—discovering it to be Rajivari's own Force ghost—and prevents a now- insane Raloch from destroying the ancient Forge that the Order used to construct lightsabers, thereby earning the rank of Jedi Consular—but Master Par succumbs to a mysterious illness just after her student is promoted.

Excavation of the tombs in the Valley of the Dark Lords continues, despite the prevalence of creatures such as shyracks, k'lor'slugs, and tuk'ata, and a group of rebellious slaves has taken refuge in one of the tombs.

Harkun, who is determined to see the slave fail, and the acolytes undergo a series of tests in the Academy and amid the tombs of the Valley. Harkun's students are competing to become the apprentice of the Sith Lord Zash, and the overseer is enraged to witness the slave complete each test perfectly—so he arranges for two acolytes to kill the slave and thereby assure that the pureblooded acolyte Ffon Althe becomes Zash's apprentice. Harkun's attempt fails, and the slave also manages to awaken the Dashade. Shadow Killer. Khem Val, who is forced to swear loyalty to the acolyte after being defeated. Impressed by the acolyte's accomplishments, Zash takes the former slave as her apprentice, though the apprentice is quickly caught up in the rivalry between Zash and her superior, Darth Skotia. Around the same time, a new acolyte is placed under the tutelage of Overseer Tremel, who seeks to use his new student to destroy the acolyte Vemrin—a potential apprentice to the Sith Lord Darth Baras. Tremel's student completes each of the tests set by the overseer, but Baras confronts the acolyte and reveals that Tremel is rushing the student's instruction to achieve his own goals. At Baras's instruction, the acolyte turns on Tremel and slays him, earning Baras's favor and becoming a possibility for a new apprentice.

Unforgivable Plot Holes in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'Disney/Lucas. Films. Warning: major spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens ahead. I loved the film. Seriously, I did. And yet it also has more plot holes than any film I've ever seen, which makes the reviews it's getting pretty irksome. Why can't we just admit that BB- 8 is adorable, Finn is hilarious, Rey is badass, seeing Han and Chewie again was awesome, the special effects were tremendous, Poe is Soloesque, Kylo Ren is intriguing, and this movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever? Below are 4. 0 plot holes in The Force Awakens. A few are trifling, but most are pretty damning. All of them were entirely unnecessary - - given the amount of time put into this film, the number of people who worked on it, and the amount of money everyone involved in it knew it stood to make - - and in this respect can be deemed unforgivable. To blow up the 1. To destroy the exponentially larger and better- protected . It also helped that the Millennium Falcon was able to . The wily Han Solo loses track of his most prized possession, the Millennium Falcon, for more than a dozen years. He has no idea where it is - - in the entire Galaxy. When you lose something in your house, that's bad; when you lose something on your planet, you kiss it goodbye but pray for a miracle; when you lose something in the entire Galaxy, you just get on with your life. And yet, less than a minute after Rey begins piloting the Millennium Falcon, Han looks out the window of his freighter and says, . Kylo Ren, a powerful Force- user, fights a light saber duel with an ex- janitor who has never held a light saber and yet (a) never uses the Force on his opponent, though doing so would have ended the duel immediately, and (b) barely wins the fight, suggesting that he is simultaneously one of the least strategic wielders of the Force the Dark Side has ever seen and, despite his training, absolutely terrible with a light saber. None of this stops Kylo Ren from designing and building his own, completely impractical cross- barred lightsaber. Rey becomes nearly as effective a Force- user in a few hours as Luke Skywalker did in a few years. Just minutes before Starkiller Base explodes, Supreme Leader Snoke tells Hux to go get Kylo Ren and take him off the planet. Unfortunately, Ren had recently (unbeknownst to Hux) run into the woods like a lunatic, leaving no information about his whereabouts. It's no problem, though, because Hux apparently has special Kylo Ren GPS and (one assumes) goes right to the spot in the middle of the forest where Ren is bleeding to death; otherwise, Ren would have died on the planet along with everybody else from the First Order. The reason Ren was slowly bleeding to death - - instead of being dead by Rey's hand - - is that a massive a chasm had just miraculously opened up in the several feet between the two of them. Such bad timing for Rey! Rey, who has never left her home planet since she was a child, can speak Wookie. Nobody can speak Wookie - - it's a running joke in the Star Wars universe. But Rey being able to speak Wookie surprises neither her, Han Solo, nor Chewbacca himself. It's okay that Poe survived a Tie Fighter crash; after all, so did Finn. But has any film ever cared less about (a) giving the false impression a character has died, and then (b) having that character show up later with no one being surprised by it? Even Finn doesn't seem to care very much what the explanation is. What is all this nonsense about the First Order only wanting to destroy the Republic because the Republic is supporting the Resistance? First of all, isn't the Resistance part of the Republic, not a separate operation? And if it is separate, why has the First Order only just now discovered the not- very- well- hidden fact that the Republic is supporting the Resistance? And if the Resistance is in fact a part of the Republic, why didn't Starkiller Base destroy the Republic's planets and moons much, much earlier? In other words, what is the status of the war between the Republic and the First Order at the beginning of The Force Awakens, such that this precise moment is when General Hux decides to simply press a button and destroy the Republic? For that matter, why is it made to seem like the entire Republic is centered in just one star system? Let alone one whose planets and moons are all visible to one another with the naked eye? Isn't the Republic intergalactic? And why did the First Order choose to destroy all the planets and moons visible from Maz Kanata's home- world, but then initiate a conventional invasion of the latter planet? Why not just fire one more planet- killing beam and destroy Kanata's planet too? Because not doing that leads to a significant military defeat for the First Order that was totally avoidable. And another thing: if the Republic is in power, why is the Resistance the ? What are they resisting? Isn't the First Order the ? It's like someone on- set said . Kylo Ren is the head of the Knights of Ren, but there are no other Knights of Ren in the movie. Captain Phasma is supposed to be a big- deal character in The Force Awakens, if the merchandising and casting are any indication, and yet (a) how bad of a commanding officer do you have to be, how thoroughly inept in military tactics and strategy, to command the worst- trained fighting force in the Galaxy (the Stormtroopers hit even less with their blasters in The Force Awakens than in any preceding Star Wars film); (b) she's only in three scenes, in one of which she relays an order from Kylo Ren to initiate a massacre of innocents (hardcore!) and in another of which she immediately surrenders to Han, Rey, and Finn as soon as they encounter her and then does exactly everything they ask of her (pathetic!), making her character incomprehensible; and (c) in her third scene she effectively reveals that Finn's character is incomprehensible, as she notes that he has in fact been trained since birth to obey all orders, and has never in his life disobeyed even a single order until the day he decides to act like he's never been trained, indoctrinated, or dehumanized at all. Was there no previous order Finn had ever refused to execute? Was the slaughter on Jakku actually the first naughty thing the First Order had ever required of him? Finn is an ex- janitor who goes AWOL from a Stormtrooper force numbering in the tens of thousands. Yet he is absolutely convinced, despite being someone of no importance whatsoever to the First Order, that he will be chased across the galaxy for having defected. Apparently, there's a premium on janitors in this quadrant of the Galaxy. Sure, Finn killed some people during his escape, but doesn't the First Order emphasize with every tactical decision it makes that it considers its soldiers thoroughly expendable, and don't they quite obviously have much bigger fish to fry during the events of The Force Awakens than to worry about Finn? Why wouldn't this be obvious to him? Let's be clear: Han's son joins the First Order, and Luke's attempts to train new Jedis goes horribly wrong, and both men respond to these setbacks by, well, abandoning the Resistance to be utterly slaughtered by the First Order. Luke chills on an island, and Han on a smuggler's freighter, while untold thousands or millions of innocents are killed by the Order. Can we even comprehend how pissed Leia would be at both of them, and how cowardly Leia (at least the Leia we see in the first three films) would consider them both? And yet she seems only mildly peeved at Luke, and, despite Han implying otherwise, is almost entirely happy to see him when he turns up at the Resistance stronghold. By the end of the movie, the impression is left that every single First Order soldier is dead besides Supreme Leader Snoke, General Hux, and Kylo Ren. That probably won't turn out to be the case, but the fact that we're given this impression makes the climactic discovery of Luke on an isolated island entirely irrelevant. After all, what need does the Resistance have of Luke now? Why should anyone care, at this point, if he's found? Because there are two bad dudes left in the entire Galaxy, one of whom only shows up anywhere as a hologram? And okay, let's say, for the sake of argument, that there are millions more First Order soldiers elsewhere in the Galaxy; isn't it strange that the film gives absolutely no indication whatsoever that this is the case? Why does General Hux need to gather all of his troops just to tell them he's about to press a button and destroy the entire Republic? Can't he do that without a cattle- call of his entire army? Because it really ends badly for him, putting his entire army on the very planet he's about to make Resistance Target #1. No chance anybody saw that coming? How pissy is it of Luke to (a) abandon the Resistance, and then (b) leave an obnoxiously coy trail of bread- crumbs to sort of (but not really) help people find him (at some unspecified time)? Why did he leave multiple maps out there in the ether, anyway, given that him having done so allows the First Order to find one of them? Why wasn't the Resistance able to access R2. D2's data archives at any point over the course of the many years Luke was gone? Why did they, instead, simply prop him up in a corner, when they had to know that he knew Luke's whereabouts - - as he always has in the past? When the Resistance finally figures out where Luke is, after looking for him for many years, why do they send only Chewbacca and a random girl who Leia just met to collect him? Kylo Ren has such a Force- enabled sense of where his father is in the Galaxy that when his father lands on Starkiller Base, Ren immediately exclaims to himself, . How lame is Han's attempt to convert his son? Han knows Ren (Ben) has just participated in the genocide of literally billions of people on multiple planets and moons, and he basically says to him, ! What else was going to happen? Why do Rey and Finn just stand by watching as Ren murders Han? Star Wars - Wikipedia.

Space travel is common, and many planets in the galaxy are members of a single galactic government.

Preceding and during the sequel trilogy, this government is the New Republic. One of the prominent elements of Star Wars is . It is described in the first produced film as . While the Force can be used for good, known as the light side, it also has a dark side that, when pursued, imbues users with hatred, aggression, and malevolence. The films feature the Jedi, who adhere to the light side of the Force to serve as peacekeepers and guardians, and the Sith, who use the dark side of the Force for evil in an attempt to destroy the Jedi Order and the Republic and rule the galaxy for themselves. The sequel trilogy introduces the Knights of Ren, an order of practitioners of the dark side of the Force aligned with the First Order. Theatrical films.

Early development. In 1. 97. 1, Universal Studios agreed to make American Graffiti and Star Wars in a two- picture contract with George Lucas, although Star Wars was later rejected in its early concept stages. American Graffiti was completed in 1. Lucas wrote a short summary called . Frustrated that his story was too difficult to understand, Lucas then began writing a 1. The Star Wars on April 1. Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. By 1. 97. 4, he had expanded the treatment into a rough draft screenplay, adding elements such as the Sith, the Death Star, and a protagonist named Annikin Starkiller. Original trilogy. A New Hope. George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, the director of A New Hope and the prequel trilogy, and the script supervisor of both the original and prequel trilogies. Lucas ceased creative involvement with the franchise in 2. The Galactic Empire is nearing completion of the Death Star, a space station with the power to destroy entire planets. Emperor Palpatine intends to use this deadly weapon to enforce his control over the galaxy and crush the Rebel Alliance, an organized resistance movement. Near the orbit of the desert planet Tatooine, a Rebel ship escorts a secret member of the rebellion, Princess Leia Organa, who intends to use stolen Death Star plans to help the rebellion find a way to destroy the space station. However, Leia's ship is intercepted by the Emperor's deadliest agent, Darth Vader, and his stormtroopers. Before being captured, Leia hides the Death Star plans inside the astromech droid R2- D2 along with a message for the legendary Jedi Knight Obi- Wan Kenobi. R2, along with the protocol droid C- 3. PO, escapes to Tatooine. The droids are found by Luke Skywalker, an orphan farm boy raised by his step- uncle and aunt. While cleaning R2, he accidentally triggers Leia's message. Luke assists the droids in finding Obi- Wan, who has been living in exile on Tatooine as an old hermit called Ben Kenobi. Obi- Wan also tells Luke he knew Luke's father Anakin Skywalker, a great Jedi who was . Annikin became Luke's father, a wise Jedi knight. The next draft removed the father character and replaced him with a substitute named Ben Kenobi. Later, he realized the film would not in fact be the first in the sequence, but a film in the second trilogy in the saga. The second draft contained a teaser for a never- made sequel about . Not long after, Lucas met with author Alan Dean Foster, and hired him to write these two sequels as novels. In 1. 97. 6, a fourth draft had been prepared for principal photography. The film was titled Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. During production, Lucas changed Luke's name to Skywalker and altered the title to simply The Star Wars and finally Star Wars. The fourth draft of the script underwent subtle changes that made it more satisfying as a self- contained film, ending with the destruction of the Galactic Empire itself by way of destroying the Death Star. However, Lucas previously conceived of the film as the first in a series of adventures. The intention was that if Star Wars was successful, Lucas could adapt the novels into screenplays. He had also by that point developed an elaborate backstory to aid his writing process. When Star Wars proved successful, Lucas decided to use the film as the basis for an elaborate serial, although at one point he considered walking away from the series altogether. However, Lucas wanted to create an independent filmmaking center—what would become Skywalker Ranch—and saw an opportunity to use the series as a financing agent. At first, Lucas envisioned a series of films with no set number of entries, like the James Bond series. In an interview with Rolling Stone in August 1. He also said that the backstory in which Darth Vader turns to the dark side, kills Luke's father and fights Obi- Wan Kenobi on a volcano as the Galactic Republic falls would make an excellent sequel. The Empire Strikes Back. Three years after the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebels are forced to evacuate their secret base on the ice planet Hoth as they are hunted by the Empire. At the request of the late Obi- Wan Kenobi's spirit, Luke Skywalker travels to the swamp- infested world of Dagobah, in a quest to find the exiled Jedi Master Yoda and begin his Jedi training. However, Luke's training is interrupted by Darth Vader, who lures him into a trap by capturing Han Solo and his friends at Cloud City, governed by Han's old friend Lando Calrissian. During a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke learns a terrible revelation about his parentage. They held story conferences and, by late November 1. Lucas had produced a handwritten treatment called The Empire Strikes Back. The treatment is similar to the final film, except that Darth Vader does not reveal he is Luke's father. In the first draft that Brackett would write from this, Luke's father appears as a ghost to instruct Luke. With no writer available, Lucas had to write his next draft himself. It was this draft in which Lucas first made use of the . As Michael Kaminski argues in The Secret History of Star Wars, the disappointment with the first draft probably made Lucas consider different directions in which to take the story. He made use of a new plot twist: Darth Vader claims to be Luke's father. According to Lucas, he found this draft enjoyable to write, as opposed to the yearlong struggles writing the first film, and quickly wrote two more drafts. He also took the script to a darker extreme by having Han Solo imprisoned in carbonite and left in limbo. Michael Kaminski argues in his book that it is unlikely that the plot point had ever seriously been considered or even conceived of before 1. Vader was separate from Luke's father; there is not a single reference to this plot point before 1. After writing the second and third drafts of Empire Strikes Back in which the point was introduced, Lucas reviewed the new backstory he had created: Anakin Skywalker was Ben Kenobi's brilliant student and had a child named Luke, but was swayed to the dark side by Emperor Palpatine (who became a Sith and not simply a politician). Anakin battled Ben Kenobi on the site of a volcano and was wounded, but then resurrected as Darth Vader. Meanwhile, Kenobi hid Luke on Tatooine while the Republic became the Empire and Vader systematically hunted down and killed the Jedi. With this new backstory in place, Lucas decided that the series would be a trilogy, changing Empire Strikes Back from Episode II to Episode V in the next draft. Kasdan, Kershner, and producer Gary Kurtz saw the film as a more serious and adult film, which was helped by the new, darker storyline, and developed the series from the light adventure roots of the first film. Return of the Jedi. Ralph Mc. Quarrie's sketches and conceptual art defined the aesthetics of the original trilogy, including the definitive designs of characters like Darth Vader, R2- D2, C- 3. PO, Chewbacca and sets like the Death Star, Dagobah, Bespin. Afterward, Luke returns to Dagobah to complete his Jedi training, only to find the 9. Yoda on his deathbed. In his last words Yoda confirms that Vader is Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, and that Luke must confront his father again in order to complete his training. Moments later, the spirit of Obi- Wan Kenobi reveals to Luke that Princess Leia is his twin sister, but Obi- Wan also insists that Luke must face Vader again.
