Watch an Animated Version of the Ditched ‘Star Wars Episode IX’ Storyline (VIDEO)
We now have an idea what Colin Trevorrow’s cancelled Star Wars: Episode IX would have looked like, thanks to a new animated short.
The YouTube channel Mr. Sunday Movies has taken the Colin Trevorrow screenplay for Episode IX which leaked on the internet. Titled Duel of the Fates, the Trevorrow script has had its major plot points animated in the short. It’s a much different take than the version JJ Abrams eventually made, and will likely spur a lot of discussion.
The video was animated by digital artist Ethan and is included below.
This description was included with the video.
Before JJ Abrams came on board for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Colin Trevorrow was slated to direct his own version, Duel Of The Fates. Vastly different to the Episode 9 that we ended up with it included no Emperor Palpatine, his Master Tor Vallum (using concepts from a cut character from the JJ version) more Rise Tico and General Leia, a double sided lightsaber for Rey, Kylo Ren as the main protagonist and about the same amount of the Knights Of Ren we actually got. There’s also a Finn Stormtrooper uprising plot that unfortunately I cut due to time and money constraints.
Here’s the video. Enjoy!
