EXT. TATOOINE DESERT - DAY

OBI-WAN (40ish) sweats in the heat of the twin suns as he carries buckets of water back to his hut. Tired and weary Obi-Wan sets the buckets outside his door as he enters:

INT. OBI-WAN’S HUT - DAY

Obi-Wan sits down, resting his legs. Looking through his cupboards he realizes he is out of food. He gathers his things and leaves.

EXT. MOS EISLEY SPACEPORT - DAY

The streets of Mos Eisley are busy with activity. People trading goods, spies trading information, hunters collecting bounties. Scum and villainy you get the picture. Obi-Wan buys some fruit from a local vendor. THUG 1 (30s) barges up to the vendor. He takes some fruit, bites into it while laughing with two others.

VENDOR

Sir, are you going to pay for that?

THUG 1

What?

VENDOR

Are you going to pay for taking that, sir?

Thug 1 laughs. He reaches inside his jacket and pulls out a blaster. He hits the vendor across the face with the butt of the weapon.

THUG 1

I’ll take whatever I want! Got that?

Obi-Wan grasps his lightsaber firmly. The vendor looks desperately at Obi-Wan. Thug 1 turns to Obi-Wan.

THUG 1

What you lookin’ at?

Obi-Wan lets go of his saber and slowly turns to walk away.

THUG 1

That’s what I thought.

Obi-Wan pauses, his temples pounding. He takes a deep breath, then walks away.

THUG 1

(In the distance)

Now where was I? Yes, I think I deserve some complimentary fruit for being treated so poorly…

Thug 1 grabs a couple more fruit as Obi-Wan walks away from the vendor, tuning out all noise from the encounter. Cut to:

INT. CANTINA - DAY

A server hands Obi-Wan a glass of blue liquid. He sits alone in the corner of the bar, his eyes shifting from bounty hunter to pirate to smuggler. Suddenly, Thug 1 enters the Cantina, accompanied by THUG 2 and THUG 3, joking and laughing with each other. Thug 1 walks up to PATRON who is sitting at the bar. Thug 1 taps him on the shoulder. There is blood on his knuckles.

THUG 1

Excuse me. You're in my seat.

PATRON

I don't see your name on it.

THUG 1

Don't you back talk me!

PATRON

I'll say whatever I-

Thug 1 grabs the seat and pulls it out from under him. The patron falls to the floor. Obi-Wan grabs his lightsaber.

PATRON

What the- Hey!

Patron begins to get back up when Thug 1 pulls his blaster out and points it at him.

THUG 1

Careful now.

BARTENDER

Hey buddy! If you're gonna get rough, take it outside.

Thug 1 laughs. He shoots the bartender right between the eyes. Obi-Wan stands up. Thug 1 grabs the scuff of Patron's shirt and points the blaster under his chin.

THUG 1

Listen up here! I’ve decided that this place could use some new management! Now anyone that feels otherwise can direct their complaints to the previous owner here. (he gestures at the bartenders body)

Obi-Wan walks towards the bar. He stares down the Thug.

THUG 1

Got something to say?

Obi-Wan's grip on his lightsaber tightens. He exits the establishment.

THUG 1

That's right, keep walking. You there!

Thug 1 points his gun at the server.

THUG 1

Bring me a drink!

SERVER

Yes sir. Right away sir.

THUG 1

Put it on this gentleman's tab(he gestures to the patron) I think it's the least you could do for acting so rudely.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE CANTINA - DAY

Obi-Wan walks around back. Rage is pulsing in his veins. He holds the grip of his lightsaber to his forehead. He takes a deep breath.

Obi-Wan opens a nearby trash can. He tosses his lightsaber inside. Obi-Wan storms back into:

INT. CANTINA - DAY

Obi-Wan walks straight towards Thug 1 at the bar. He grabs an empty glass from a vacant table on his way. Obi-Wan smashes the glass over the back of Thug 1’s head. Thug 1 turns around. Obi-Wan punches him in the face. He punches him two more times and Thug 1 falls to the ground. Obi-Wan jumps on top of him and starts wailing on him.

Patron swiftly leaves the establishment.

Thug 2 pulls Obi-Wan off and restrains his arms. Thug 3 punches Obi-Wan in the gut. Thug 1 gets up and wipes the blood from his lips. He walks towards Obi-Wan, and begins beating him senseless.

Thug 1 pauses and walks back to retrieve his blaster. Blood drips from Obi-Wan’s lips. Obi-Wan steps on Thug 2’s foot then swings his head backwards into his nose. Obi-Wan tackles Thug 3 to the ground. They wrestle. Thug 1 points his blaster towards them. Thug 3 ends up on top of Obi-Wan and pulls a vibroblade. Obi-Wan holds the weapon back, as it hums inches from his face. Thug 1 aims at Obi-Wan’s head.

Thug 1

Hold him still!

Obi-Wan moves back, placing Thug 3’s hands where his head was and directly in the path of the laserbolt as Thug 1 fires his blaster. The bolt blows a hole in Thug 3’s hand severing several fingers. He drops the blade. Obi-Wan catches it and throws the weapon at Thug 1. It cuts Thug 1’s hand and he drops the blaster.

Thug 2 runs at Obi-Wan with a chair over his head. He swings at Obi-Wan who ducks out of the way and slugs him in the gut. Obi-Wan slams his head into the bar counter and he falls. Obi-Wan grabs hold of the counter and kicks his head.

Thug 1 shoots Obi-Wan in the shoulder. Obi-Wan falls, flipping over and to the other side of the counter. Thug 1 walks towards Obi-Wan. Panting heavily Obi-Wan closes his eyes and slows his breathing. Obi-Wan stands facing Thug 1. Thug 1 fires but Obi-Wan seamlessly steps out of the way. Thug 1 fires again, and again Obi-Wan easily steps out of the way. Obi-Wan moves towards Thug 1 while stepping out of the way of blaster fire. Obi-Wan knocks away Thug 1’s blaster and pushes him backward with one swift blow from the force. Thug 1 gets up and throws a punch. Obi-Wan counters and begins to beat him down. He delivers the final blow and Thug 1 falls to the ground.

Obi-Wan walks up to the bar and hands the server some money.

OBI-WAN

Sorry about the mess.

Obi-Wan leaves the Cantina.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE CANTINA - DAY

Obi-Wan walks around back and retrieves his lightsaber.

SERVER

I didn’t get to thank you, stranger.

OBI-WAN

Nothing to thank.

SERVER

Can I at least get your name?

Obi-Wan turns around.

OBI-WAN

Ben.

Obi-Wan puts his hood over his head and leaves Mos Eisley.
