Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #2

POE (CONT'D)

I see 'em!

BB-8 BEEPS nervously as Poe GRABS HIS CONTROLS and FIRES AT

THEM, using the X-wing's drop-down antipersonnel blaster!

The two Troopers are BLOWN AWAY in the large BLAST HITS!

Poe tries to start the ship now, but the ENGINES SPUTTER.

Concerned, he opens his canopy, jumps down, moves to the

back of his ship: BAD DAMAGE ON THE REAR ENGINE PANEL.

They're in trouble.

EXT. JAKKU VILLAGE - NIGHT

Lor San Tekka moves sadly through the village as STORMTROOPERS

wielding FLAME THROWERS destroy structures. Surrendering

Villagers are ROUNDED UP. Penned ANIMALS panic.

EXT. RISE ADJACENT TO THE VILLAGE - NIGHT

Back at the X-wing, Poe kneels beneath his ship, pulls from

the leather sack a SMALL, OLD ARTIFACT which he inserts into

BB-8 -- the droid's MULTI-READER ENVELOPS it.

POE:

You take this. It's safer with you

than it is with me. You get as far

away from here as you can. Do you

hear me?

(BB-8 BEEPS, hesitates)

I'll come back for you! It will be

alright.

BB-8 watches Poe run off. BEEP-WHINES nervously, then turns

and heads off. Turns back once to look at Poe, then ROLLS

AWAY. Poe uses his blaster rifle to fire at incoming troopers

from cover.

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.
