VADER’S APOLOGY
Script
ACT 1
Tyler: Charged you are, of Luke’s corruption and believing not in the side of the light. Here shall you be tried in front of a court of Jedi, of your brethren of the past. Come up to will be the witnesses who brought charges you against. Say what you of this?
Brett: I have done none of what you speak. These accusations are false. So perhaps I did try to take over the galaxy and use the Death Star to blow up a few of your planets, but this is not what I am accused of. I know nothing.
Tyler: Not speak of this matter shall you. Continue on the matter at hand should you.
Brett: My work was done because of what I was told by emperor Palpatine.
Tyler: And a great and deceitful traitor he was.
Brett: One that you once respected as much as I did.
Tyler: Then very well, on you should carry.
Brett: (GETTING ANNOYED) Yes. Well as I was saying, the great emperor Palapatine, who was respected by us all at one time, told me that I could be the most powerful and greatest man besides him if I followed him in his ways. He also told me that I could save my wife and children if I did. So, as any man would do I took up the offer to help the future. And this is what you accuse me of? I was only trying to help the future’s fate by teaching my son the way of life…
Tyler: The way of the side of the dark you mean?!?!
Brett: The exact opposite, I was trying to teach them the way of the great emperor Palpatine. The way that you followed, as you elected him your prime minister to lead you in his same ways. As I said before I know nothing.
Tyler: Well if it is nothing then you know, here why are you?
Brett: (RISING ANGER) That is what I have been trying to ask you. Maybe it is because you are jealous of my power, and you hate me for it. Maybe, this whole thing is a sham and it is you who should be on trial for not wanting the people to know the truth.
Tyler: Hold your tongue you must. Perhaps then it is time to forth bring the witness first.
ACT 2
Dan: The setting is now very intense as the young Jedi, Luke Skywalker, is called to the stand. Luke, being the son of Darth Vader, has a very close relationship with the accused. He is though, the main person who accused Darth Vader of corrupting him and others because he believes in the way of the republic and Jedi more. What follows is not really a questioning of the witness process, but more of making a joke of the process.
Tyler: Call I do to the stand the son of Vader, young Luke Skywalker.
Tim: (WALKS UP, TAKES A QUICK SCARED LOOK AT VADER, AND BOWS TO YODA) Yes master.
Tyler: Sit you must young Padiwan, sit.
Tim: Yes master. (BOWS AGAIN AND SITS DOWN IN THE PREASSIGNED CHAIR)
Tyler: Cross-examination you may now begin Lord Vader. (POINTS TO LUKE)
Brett: Yes. My so-called son…Luke Skywalker…did you not come to me in the first place, not I to you.
Tim: (LOOKING DEFENSIVE AND A LITTLE TAKEN BACK) Yes I did, but….
Brett: (A LITTLE PROUD OF HIMSELF) Good so you admit to this…did you not also try and do whatever it took to be close to me, even if that meant joining me in my quest to crush the rebellion.
Tim: (GETTING FRUSTRATED AND RISING OUT OF HIS SEAT) Master Yoda he is taking this way out of…
Brett: Master Yoda, don’t you teach your students the way of patience, a main virtue of the Jedi. Why doesn’t young Skywalker exhibit this virtue, is he not “the chosen one”. (SAYING AS IT DAWNS ON HIM) As a matter of fact, didn’t you once call me the “chosen one”. So if we are the same why has he not been tried; why am I the only one up her, shouldn’t it be him as well. Does this not also show that your perfect Jedi system is not also so sure of itself. Where do your true intentions lie?
Tyler: (ANGRILY) Enough this is!!! Shall be called a recess it will, and the fate determined of Lord Vader it will.
ACT 3
Dan: The tide has turned against the court of Jedi, and the important Jedi realize this. Vader is voted guilty by a narrow margin and is told to pick his own punishment and starts off on a joking matter, but this was not intended to be a comedy…
Tyler: What think you of your sentence of punishment Lord Vader.
Brett: Perhaps you should give me back my Death Star for being such an important role in your development…but no I will certainly not go to prison, perhaps exile to Naboo.
Tyler: Leave up to the young one your fate we will.
Tim: (STANDS UP & SAYS RATHER MALICIOUSLY) Well, father, I have given it much thought and consideration, and all in all you have treated me (SARCASTICALLY) very well. And I think you have been given a very good trial. So I think it is only fair to give you what you gave my mother…death.
Brett: (RATHER CALMLY) But I shall not die by your hands. (PICKS UP HIS LIGHTSABER, DRAWS IT OUT AND KILLS HIMSELF)
