  Reporting to the President's chambers, Valarium reluctantly tells of Lady
Skywalker's escape.  Palpatine is angered and quickly orders -- over his
private comlink -- a division of troops to search the city.  He then orders the
arrest of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa to prevent any further interferences in
his plans.

  Turning to Valarium, Palpatine's face darkens to an insane fury.  Blinding
energy bolts shoot from his finger tips, and the young Prince is struck down.
"Don't fail me again!"  Palpatine warns, as Prince Valarium crawls, like a
wounded animal, to his side and gasps, "Never . . ."

                                          CUT TO:

SCENE 12: Jhantor -- Docking bay, interior of saucer-shaped
          Correlian freighter

  In the dank, dark hangar-bay, Obi-Wan Kenobi departs in his starship, and
Captain Antilles turns his attention to one of his most difficult tasks.  With
the nervous assistance of C3PO, he first comforts Lady Skywalker, then helps
deliver her children.  The moment is a joyous, mystic one as Luke and Leia take
their 1st breath and begin crying.  But that special sound of babies crying
brings a detachment of troops down upon them! *

             * Special Note:  The troops should be costumed dif-
        ferently from the stormtroopers because they are part of
        Bail Organa's personal guard, - but the scene should cause
        a false moment of suspense for Antilles, and the audience.

                                          LAP DISSOLVE TO:

SCENE 13: Jhantor -- Palpatine's Chambers

  Still enraged from Valarium's carelessness, Palpatine plots a unique
political move that will destroy Lady Arcadia's influence with the Merchanter's
Guild AND further cement his power with commerce and industry.  He first frees
a handful of pirates and bribes them to raid the Spice Mines and Mineral
Springs; he then orders his personal troops to eliminate the pirates and guard
-- as well as regulate -- the shipping lanes.

  But. in the midst of his political maneuvering, Palpatine is struck down --
paralyzed -- for a few, fleeting moments.  When he regains his composure, he is
deeply disturbed by a nightmare premonitions, a tremor in the Force which
threatens his well being.  He senses Lady Arcadia's true strength -- the birth
of a son that would one day challenge his power.  (But he fails -- in his
twisted wickedness --- to sense the second child!)

  Sending his special group of assassins into Jhantor, Palpatine orders them to
kill every new-born son -- both in the capital city and the nearby outlands --
because, for the first time in his life, he is afraid.  (The character should
be played much like Herod's in the New Testament.)

  This brutal action (of Palpatine's) spawns screams of anguish and
unrestricted weeping as the soldiers -- unquestion- ingly -- carry out their
violent task.  (Note:  The horror of the events will be merely suggested -- and
not shown -- to our cameras.)

                                          IMMEDIATE CUT TO:

SCENES 14 TO 18: Numerous Worlds --- Each distinct in its own way

  Across the galaxy, in a terror-filled montage of scenes, wherein we glimpse
numerous worlds and races, the betrayal and execution of the Jedi Knights is
perpetrated.  Darth Vader and a handful of Palpatine's assassins barge into an
exotic saloon and eliminate an alien-looking Jedi amidst screams and mass
hysteria from the patrons.

  While this is happening, Boba Fett leads a group of stormtroopers into a
docking bay and disintegrates the Knight mending repairs in his starship.

  And by the time Vader and his cohorts have slipped into the quarters and
strangled a sleeping Jedi, Boba Fett, accompanied by several trained assassins,
chases down and executes a fleeing Jedi and his family.  However, the
abomination of Vader (as well as Palpatine's sinister plan) is not complete
until he destroys the remaining Jedi Knights as they make a final stand.  The
battle is fearsome, and the Jedi force manages to kill a large number of
troops; but they are vastly outnumbered, and soon, they are massacred -- to the
last man -- by Vader's troops.

  After dismissing Boba Fett and his troops, Darth Vader looks over the
battlefield, at the dead bodies, then takes a deep breath and says, "Kenobi, I
will deal with you myself..."

                *          *          *

  Obi-Wan Kenobi hears Vader's words -- but he is too far in space to offer him
a challenge.  He accelerates his starship, thinking of his compatriots, and
hurries to the planet.  However, arriving several hours too late, Kenobi is
disheartened to find the dead bodies of his fellow Jedi Knights.  He unhappily
builds a funeral pyre and burns their bodies (in a ceremony befitting a viking
hero).

  He then examines the broad, huge footprints in the sand, and whispers Darth
Vader's name.
