    At the time of starting this thread, we have seen 6 episodes of FoD. I understand we will have two more in the next few days, and then we will have to wait until the Fall to watch the remaining 8 to complete the First Season.
    Let's sharpen our pencils and write short scripts for potential FoD episodes! Who knows, they may be fan fiction today, but perhaps someone from the Lucasfilm Story Group is lurking The Cantina and could pick some good ideas for future episodes.

    Rules:
    1. The script must be readable under 3 minutes. FoD episodes range from 2 to 3 minutes.
    2. Female character must be the driver of the story. Preferable the already selected ones: Leia, Rey, Ahsoka, Padme, Sabine, Maz, Hera, Jyn. However, I think we can open to others like Ventress, Mon Mothma, Shmi, etc.
    3. An important choice must be made by the female character.
    4. Must not contradict existing canon.
    5. At least one Easter Egg, help cover an existing gap in the canon or bring further explanation to an existing canon fact.
    Voting:
    • Readers use the existing icons to qualify the script: Like, Funny, Original, etc. You know how to use them.

    Who is up for this?

    I will be the first one. In my next post, I will share my first script. Disclaimer: English is not my first language, so go easy on me.

    FORCES OF DESTINY FAN FICTION: THE ROYAL PRISONER


    INT. DEATH STAR - DETENTION CORRIDOR

    Two Stormtroopers are escorting Princess Leia. A third one offers to finish the job.

    STORMTROOPER: I have prepared cell 2187 for the prisoner. I will escort her inside.

    The two Stormtroopers leave in agreement. The remaining one opens an electronic cell door and allows Leia to enter. He follows her and closes the door.

    LEIA: Not bad for Imperial temporary quarters.

    STORMTROOPER: Your Highness, what this is all about?

    LEIA: Huh? You tell me. You’re the ones who are detaining me and my crew.

    STORMTROOPER: I’m just following orders, Your Highness, by serving the Empire. But the last few hours have been too confusing for me.

    LEIA: And why is that?

    STORMTROOPER: I’m not sure if we’re doing the right thing. Since my brother and I met the minimum height requirements, our parents thought it would be good for us to enroll in the Stormtrooper Program.

    LEIA: I didn’t know there were height requirements. Where are your parents?

    STORMTROOPER: In Alderaan, with the rest of my family.

    LEIA: Oh.

    STORMTROOPER: And my brother… he was… serving in Scarif.

    LEIA: I’m very sorry for your loss. Your brother must have been fighting for what he thought it was right. And that’s honorable.

    STORMTROOPER: Nobody can tell me why… why we destroyed Scarif? I thought you could tell me, Your Highness. I recall, my parents were loyal to Queen Breha Organa. That’s why I think I should trust you.

    LEIA: I’m honored by your trust, but there is nothing I can tell you. You should understand my position.

    STORMTROOPER: I guess so… what I want to know is exactly the same thing the big bosses here may want to know.

    LEIA: It’s never too late to do the right thing.

    STORMTROOPER: I couldn’t help you escape. The detention corridor is heavily armed, and there are hundreds of other Stormtroopers outside Block AA-23. It would be impossible.

    LEIA: Nothing is impossible.

    STORMTROOPER: My best guess would be the garbage chute.

    LEIA: The garbage chute?

    STORMTROOPER: There is a small grate in the wall of the corridor… But forget it, I don’t want to give you false hopes.

    LEIA: Hope is not lost. It is found.

    STORMTROOPER: Your Highness, you’re in danger here. Prisoners here are cruelly tortured.

    LEIA: Then help me. Do the right thing. Look inside your heart. Find the strength to do it.

    STORMTROOPER: I can’t help your escape… but I can give you this.

    The Stormtrooper hands Leia a small capsule. Leia looked at it confused.

    LEIA: What is this?

    STORMTROOPER: It will help you counter the effect of the pain caused by the torture robot. Lord Vader uses it with his prisoners here.

    LEIA: How do I know this isn’t an Imperial trick?

    The Stormtrooper kneels down and hands Leia his blaster. Leia takes the blaster and immediately aims to his head. He points to the trigger.

    STORMTROOPER: These ones are very easy to use. If you don’t trust me, just pull this trigger, shoot me right here, and try to escape on your own.

    LEIA: You realize many members of my crew were killed today by Stormtroopers with blasters like this one. I should have no regrets whatsoever if I choose to blow your brains out.

    STORMTROOPER: I know, Your Highness. I’m doing this because I trust you.

    Leia keeps aiming at his head, now with her two hands. She takes a deep breath and then aims the blaster to the floor.

    LEIA: And I choose to trust you, too.

    Leia returns the blaster to the Stormtrooper. He stands up and opens the door.

    STORMTROOPER: The capsule needs 10 minutes to take effect. Then it will protect you for 24 hours. Lord Vader could come any minute.

    Leia places the capsule in her mouth and swallow it.

    LEIA: Thanks. And may the Force be with you.

    STORMTROOPER: Goodbye, Your Highness.

    The Stormtrooper closes the door.


    The End.

    I was inspired by JediChase17's contribution, and expanded it to a 2-minute script. I added an Easter egg that explains a gap in ROTJ. Hope you like it:

    FORCES OF DESTINY FAN FICTION: ROYAL MEMORIES

    EXT. ALDERAAN-STARCRUISER-SPACE

    Bail’s ship approaches the surface of Alderaan.

    EXT. ALDERAAN-LATE MORNING

    The QUEEN OF ALDERAAN stands on her balcony as BAIL ORGANA enters.

    Bhreha: How was the Yavin conference? I heard some systems were frightened to keep fighting the Empire.

    Bail: We need to warn our people that war is inevitable. However, I have good news. The majority of members in the Alliance were not frightened. Some of them decided to support a rogue team who was following a lead to Scarif in an attempt to get the plans of the Death Star.

    Breha: That’s good to hear. Do you think they’ll make it?

    Bail: I have a good feeling about it. Leia’s ship joined them too. I trust her with my life. She will play her part.

    Breha: She’s so brave.

    Bail: She has the heart of her mother.

    INT. CORUSCANT-REPUBLIC SENATE OFFICE BUILDING-MAIN HALLWAY-EARLY AFTERNOON

    Flashbacks of Bail’s past when he witnessed Padme’s courage.

    EXT. ALDERAAN-QUEEN’S BALCONY-LATE MORNING

    Back to present, Breha touches a holographic photo album with pictures of Senator Amidala.

    Bail: I didn’t know you had this hidden here.

    Breha: I had shown this to Leia when she was very little, when she asked me about her real mother. At the beginning, she liked to see these images.

    INT. ALDERAAN-QUEEN’S PRIVATE QUARTERS-EARLY MORNING

    Flashbacks of Breha’s past when she showed these images to 4-year-old Leia.

    Leia: She’s very beautiful. And where is she now?

    Breha: She died when you were very young. She was very kind.

    Leia: I wish I knew her.

    Leia drops some tears. Breha looks concerned.

    EXT. ALDERAAN-QUEEN’S BALCONY-LATE MORNING

    Back to present, Breha closes the holographic photo album.

    Breha: I noticed that it made her feel very sad. I decided to hide this away.

    Bail: You did the right thing. She needed to know some of the truth. But most importantly, she also needed to move on.

    Bheha: I have good news for you too.

    Bail: I’m all ears for good news.

    Bheha: Although our kingdom is peaceful and we don’t have weapons in our planet, you know we have the best intelligence in the sector.

    Breha shows a holographic presentation with detailed blueprints of Imperial weaponry.

    Bheha: My sources have gathered massive blueprint information on the remaining Imperial heavy weapons: Star Destroyers, AT-AT, Stormtrooper blasters and uniforms. We have almost everything.

    Bail: Impressive.

    Bheha: Not only that. My Royal intelligence team in Alderaan has decipher them and found weaknesses in each of them. We have developed detailed tactical maneuvers that could simplify battles with them. I made them run battle simulations exploiting these weaknesses and confirmed that even with 10% of the Rebel forces, we would win in 98.5% the cases. The Alliance could literally overpower the entire Imperial fleet in a matter of days!

    Bail: Most impressive. We could restore the Republic once for all. Who else knows about this?

    Bheha: My Royal intelligence team, a few members of my Royal council, myself, and now you.

    Bail: I need to share this with the rest of the Rebel Alliance. I should go back to Yavin 4 immediately.

    Breha: I agree. Go. Here. Everything is in this disk.

    Bail: I apologize for the short visit. I wish I could have stayed longer, my dear.

    Breha: I know. Hey, what’s that?

    Alderaan explodes.

    The End.

    The above fan fiction had a very dark ending which would be easily censored considering the main target audience for FoD. For this reason, I have made an alternate ending, right after Bail says: "I apologize for the short visit. I wish I could have stayed longer, my dear."

    ALTERNATE ENDING FOR ROYAL MEMORIES
    Bail: I apologize for the short visit. I wish I could have stayed longer, my dear.
    Breha presses a the intercom button.
    Breha: Main hangar, this is Queen Breha. Get ready the Viceroy Organa's ship. He will departure as soon as possible.
    Man in the intercom: Understood, Your Highness. However, we highly recommend postponing any departures for the time being as our sensors are detecting a massive objective coming from hyperspace.
    Breha: Very well. Let's take all necessary precautions. Keep me informed.
    Man in the intercom: Of course, Your Highness.
    Breha closes the intercom.
    Breha: Get ready, Bail. You shall leave soon. And may the Force be with you.

    The End.
