A 13-year-old Padawan, one of the few survivors of Order 66, is hunted across the galaxy by the Empire. When he confronts the Emperor, his raw, untrained power almost changes history—but true heroism comes at the ultimate cost.

SYNOPSIS:

Concept Summary:

Set 1–3 years after Order 66, the Jedi are nearly extinct. A 13-year-old Padawan survives the death of his master during the purge and has spent years hiding across the galaxy. His connection to the Force is raw, emotional, and unusually powerful—but dangerously unstable.

After he is discovered using the Force to save someone, the Empire detects him. Inquisitors begin hunting him across multiple worlds. Reports of the boy’s growing power eventually reach Darth Vader, who personally takes over the hunt.

Their confrontation reveals something shocking: the boy’s uncontrolled Force power is strong enough to briefly challenge Vader himself.

Captured and brought before Emperor Palpatine, the boy is offered something unexpected — training as the Emperor’s apprentice. When he refuses and attacks, he nearly kills the Emperor in a burst of strength and power.

Realizing the threat the boy could one day become, Palpatine unleashes the full power of the dark side and kills him.

His story becomes a forgotten tragedy — a brief silhouette in the Force that almost changed the fate of the galaxy.

Tone & Style:

• Dark Imperial-era story similar in tone to Rogue One • Focus on the horror of the Jedi purge

• Raw, explosive Force power rather than elegant Jedi combat

• A tragic hero story about courage against impossible odds
