Bunny-booting time
Apr. 12th, 2005 10:31 pmI have obnoxious plot bunnies and a new fangy one just pounced me.
I want to do an introspective Luke piece in which the Father-need grows and is tamped down, flares and is condemned by his uncle, is revitalized by the lightsaber and by Obi-Wan's wheezing on the coals (so to speak). I want him to spend the three years between SW and ESB obsessing and searching for anything about his father (when he has a chance). I want vengeance burning hot in his mind, so that Bespin is more shattering than we can imagine. I want him confronted with the object of his obsession and the object of his revenge rolled into one, and be torn. I don't want the noble, self-sacrificing fall. I want pure anguish. I want bad choices. I want the fall, but a choice made, once healed, to go to Vader. AND I don't want it to turn out like all the other Luke/Vader pieces out there. I want a long slow process of that insatiable need being twisted and warped. I want Luke demanding and greedy, determined to make up for 23 years of lost time.
I'm warped.
