Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #2

EXT. JAKKU VILLAGE - NIGHT

The Troopers and villagers in battle -- as one Trooper is

HIT and goes down. Another -- OUR TROOPER -- KNEELS to help.

The hit trooper raises a torn, bloody glove -- his HUMAN

HAND visible -- and MARKS OUR STORMTROOPER'S MASK WITH BLOOD

just before he dies. Our Trooper, stands -- overwhelmed by

the battle.

AN IMPOSING SHUTTLE CRAFT -- VERTICAL WINGSPAN 90 FEET TALL --

LANDS NEAR THE TRANSPORT VEHICLES.

The shuttle craft door OPENS -- through the wind and smoke,

KYLO REN exits the ship: a TALL, DARK FIGURE, he strides

through the chaos toward San Tekka.

A senior Trooper moves to our blood-marked Trooper, and orders

HIM:

SENIOR TROOPER:

Stay here.

Our Trooper nods.

Kylo Ren stops before the outraged Lor San Tekka, dwarfing

him. Only now does it become apparent that Kylo Ren wears a

DARK MASK, marked by battle. Inset metal lines reflect FIRE.

KYLO REN:

Look how old you've become.

LOR SAN TEKKA:

Something far worse has happened to

you.

Our blood-marked TROOPER is placed in line with other

stormtroopers.

KYLO REN:

You know what I've come for.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
LOR SAN TEKKA

I know where you come from. Before

you called yourself Kylo Ren.

KYLO REN:

The map to Skywalker. We know you've

found it, and now you're going to

give it to the First Order.

Adjacent to the village, Poe enters frame -- sees the Ren/San

Tekka exchange continue.

LOR SAN TEKKA:

The First Order rose from the dark

side... you did not.

KYLO REN:

I'll show you the dark side.

LOR SAN TEKKA:

You may try, but you cannot deny the

truth that is your family.

Suddenly Kylo Ren raises his LIGHTSABER -- IGNITES IT --

PERPENDICULAR SMALLER BLADES AT THE HILT, A UNIQUE BUZZ --

YELLOW/RED ENERGY, SPITTING SPARKS AND SMOKE --

KYLO REN:

You're so right.

And as he RIPS IT DOWN ACROSS SAN TEKKA!

Poe, RUNNING, SEES THIS AND YELLS, AIMS HIS BLASTER AND FIRES

AT KYLO REN! Instantly:

Kylo Ren RAISES HIS HAND -- POE'S BLAST FREEZES -- THE BOLT

OF ENERGY STRAINING AND VIBRATING IN MID AIR!

Kylo Ren sees Poe, who suddenly CANNOT MOVE, but strains to.

He is grabbed by Stormtroopers who drag him past the

VIBRATING, FROZEN BLAST, to Kylo Ren.

A Stormtrooper begins a brutal PAT DOWN. Kylo Ren moves

closer. Poe just glares. The Stormtrooper KICKS OUT Poe's

legs -- he lands hard on his knees.

Kylo Ren kneels to look at Poe.

POE:

So who talks first? You talk first?

KYLO REN:

The old man gave it to you.

POE:

(INDICATES KYLO'S

MASK)

It's just very hard to understand

you with all the...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

KYLO REN:

(TO TROOPERS)

Search him.

POE:

... Apparatus.

The Troopers roughly pull Poe away. A Stormtrooper begins a

brutal PAT DOWN. Kylo Ren moves closer.

Poe just glares as the pat down ends.

STORMTROOPER #1

Nothing, sir.

KYLO REN:

Put him on board.

Kylo Ren regards the Stormtroopers with the rounded up

Villagers, then turns to the CHROME-SKINNED, FEMALE BLACK-

CAPED HEAD STORMTROOPER, CAPTAIN PHASMA.

CAPTAIN PHASMA:

Sir, the villagers.

KYLO REN:

Kill them all.

Phasma nods, steps forward:

CAPTAIN PHASMA:

On my command!

The Troopers, including OURS, aim at the Villagers.

CAPTAIN PHASMA (CONT'D)

Fire!

Poe is roughly PULLED into a transport ship, the ramp LIFTS.

All around our Trooper BLASTERFIRE ERUPTS -- but we're WIDE

ENOUGH to see he ISN'T FIRING. PUSH IN until the FIRING

STOPS. All the Stormtroopers SPREAD OUT TO SEARCH -- except

ours.

Kylo Ren heads back toward his ship. But then he STOPS.

Feels something. TURNS AND LOOKS AT OUR STORMTROOPER for a

LONG MOMENT. Our Trooper can barely meet his gaze; knows

he's doomed.

Kylo Ren then heads off -- passes the FROZEN BLAST, which,

after a beat, GOES FREE AND SLAMS INTO A NEARBY STRUCTURE,

scaring the hell out of our Stormtrooper.

EXT. EDGE OF JAKKU VILLAGE - NIGHT

A Stormtrooper climbs down from the cockpit of Poe's X-wing,

BACKS AWAY:

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

STORMTROOPER #2

Nothing here. Go ahead!

Three other Stormtroopers FIRE LASER CANNONS at the X-wing --

destroying the ship in a LARGE EXPLOSION.

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF JAKKU VILLAGE - NIGHT

BB-8 rolls across the sand, looks back: the X-wing FIREBALL.

BB-8, afraid, continues on his own in a mysterious, dark

desert. We see a FORM -- an animal, its RED EYES LIFTING

from the sand, watching the rolling droid, who just keeps

going.

In a WIDE SHOT, we HEAR HIM BEEPING to himself, lonely and

frightened.

EXT. SPACE - NIGHT

With the SANDY PLANET OF JAKKU as backdrop, Troop Transports

and Kylo Ren's Shuttle approach a massive STAR DESTROYER.

INT. STAR DESTROYER HANGAR - NIGHT

Poe, shackled, is ushered from the transport through the

hangar. He is awed by the imposing space.

POE:

All right. All right!

Our Stormtrooper passes, moves fast:

INT. TROOP TRANSPORT VEHICLE - NIGHT
