Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #5

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

Our Stormtrooper enters the dark, vehicle. He removes his

helmet. His head comes up and we PUSH IN ON HIS FACE FOR

THE FIRST TIME. This is FN-2187. He is 23, likable. But

in this moment, terrified, desperate.

After a beat, behind him, CAPTAIN PHASMA enters. FN-2187

knows he's in trouble.

CAPTAIN PHASMA:

FN-2187. Submit your blaster for

inspection.

FN-2187

Yes, Captain.

CAPTAIN PHASMA:

And who gave you permission to remove

that helmet?

FN-2187

I'm sorry, Captain.

CAPTAIN PHASMA:

Report to my division at once.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

Phasma heads off. Shattered, FN-2187 replaces his helmet.

CUT TO:

INT. JUNKED VESSEL CORRIDOR - DAY

A metal sheet is pulled open to reveal the wrapped up face

of A SCAVENGER, perhaps alien, in GOGGLES, FACE MASK and

GLOVES. Backpack with a STAFF strapped to it. Uses TOOLS

to remove various MECHANISMS from inside the wall. We are

in an upside-down, canted CORRIDOR. The Scavenger finds a

valuable piece, drops it in a SATCHEL.

Swings the bag back and begins CLIMBING DOWN on a cable,

between treacherous WALLS OF MACHINERY, headed to:

INT. JUNKED VESSEL - LARGER SPACE - LATER

Alone and tiny in this massive, sideways wreck, the Scavenger

descends, climbing down a two-hundred foot-long cable. LANDS

HARD onto rusty metal.

INT. JUNKED VESSEL - ENGINES - DAY

The Scavenger carries the satchel and another large, found

piece, over enormous pipes in the vast space, heads through

the dust toward a distant SLIT OF SUNLIGHT.

EXT. JUNKED VESSEL ENGINE - DAY

The Scavenger arrives from the darkness and pulls off goggles

and gear, revealing the grimy face of a beautiful, young

WOMAN. This is REY, 19.

She opens her canteen, shakes out the two final drops into

her mouth. HITS THE SIDE of the canteen again and again for

whatever she can get. CUT WIDE:

Rey is rendered minuscule, standing at the bottom of an EPIC
