Star Wars Family Tree

Title: Anakin Skywalker: Family Tree
Written by: Joseph C. Jukic
Starring: Hayden Christensen, Joseph C. Jukic, Justin Trudeau


Genre:

Epic Science Fantasy / Political Drama / Multiverse Adventure


Logline:

When the Force bends time itself, Anakin Skywalker discovers a hidden branch of his bloodline โ€” the Skywalkers of Earth, descendants who carry the remnants of his light and dark sides. Among them, a Croatian-Canadian named Nikana Skywalker and his cousin Justin must help Anakin redeem his legacy before the galaxy โ€” and Earth โ€” fall to a reborn Sith empire masquerading as global leaders.


Synopsis:

Act I โ€“ The Bloodline Awakens

The film opens with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) in the afterlife, trapped between light and dark, haunted by visions of his descendants scattered across time. The Force reveals that the Skywalker lineage has splintered โ€” not just across galaxies, but into alternate universes.

Meanwhile, on modern-day Earth, Nikana Skywalker (Joseph C. Jukic), a carpenter and part-time philosopher in British Columbia, begins having lucid dreams of lightsabers, galactic wars, and a voice calling his name โ€” โ€œNikanaโ€ฆ the Force remembers you.โ€

At the same time, Justin Skywalker (Justin Trudeau), a charismatic world leader who doesnโ€™t yet know his Force heritage, is manipulated by shadowy technocrats aiming to create a โ€œNew Republic Order.โ€ His idealism blinds him to the dark energy coiling beneath his governmentโ€™s scientific ambitions โ€” cloning, neural control, and political domination through AI.

A celestial rift opens above the Pacific. Through it, Anakin manifests โ€” part spirit, part man โ€” drawn to Earth by the echoes of his familyโ€™s imbalance.


Act II โ€“ The Earthborn Jedi

Anakin, cloaked and weary, finds Nikana living a humble life near Vancouver Islandโ€™s forests. He tells Nikana that the Skywalker blood is not a curse, but a promise โ€” and that a new Sith Lord, Lord Nihlus Reborn, is preparing to merge the Galactic Empireโ€™s remnants with Earthโ€™s elite to control both realms.

As Anakin trains Nikana in the ways of the Force โ€” using meditation, compassion, and even ancient Croatian warrior traditions โ€” Justin begins to see strange manifestations around him: flickering holograms, premonitions of galactic war, and a black mask whispering in his dreams.

Nikana and Justin reunite in Ottawa after decades apart. Their meeting is uneasy โ€” one is spiritual, the other political. But as Force visions intensify, they realize their shared ancestry: both descend from Leia Organaโ€™s secret second child, hidden on Earth to protect the bloodline from extermination.


Act III โ€“ The Balance of Two Worlds

Anakinโ€™s presence on Earth distorts reality, drawing Sith remnants through the rift. Governments panic, calling it a โ€œdimensional anomaly.โ€ Nikana, Justin, and Anakin join forces, forming a Triumvirate of Light to confront Lord Nihlus Reborn at CERN โ€” the particle collider that has become a gateway to the dark side.

Anakin faces his final test: choosing whether to remain mortal and protect his family or return to the cosmic Force to seal the rift forever. Justin, seduced briefly by the promise of order and unity, nearly becomes the vessel for Nihlus. But Nikana intervenes โ€” not with violence, but with forgiveness, reminding his cousin that โ€œthe Force is not about power โ€” itโ€™s about family.โ€

In a climactic duel blending lightsabers, lightning, and human empathy, Anakin sacrifices his spectral form to cleanse both universes. The rift collapses, leaving Earth bathed in auroras โ€” the visible sign of the Forceโ€™s rebirth on a new world.


Epilogue โ€“ The Seeds of Tomorrow

Nikana walks through the woods of Vancouver, sensing peace but also the whisper of destiny. He buries Anakinโ€™s lightsaber beneath an ancient cedar tree โ€” symbol of renewal. Justin, now a reformed leader, establishes the Skywalker Foundation, dedicated to peace, climate balance, and spiritual evolution.

In the final shot, a child in Croatia lifts a toy lightsaber glowing faintly blueโ€ฆ the Force lives on.


Tone & Style:

Visually poetic, mixing Star Wars mythic grandeur with Tree of Life-style spirituality. The cinematography balances futuristic holograms with the natural beauty of Earth โ€” mountains, oceans, and forests as symbols of the living Force.


Music:

Score by John Williams and Nelly Furtado, blending orchestral themes with world music and electronic undertones โ€” the sound of two worlds becoming one.

Caravel Movie Treatment

๐ŸŽฌ Title: CARAVEL: THE OCEAN CONQUERORS

Written by: Joseph C. Jukic
Starring: Luรญs Morgado, Diogo Morgado, Jaymes Morgado, Luรญs Morgado Jr., and Joseph C. Jukic
Original Music by: Nelly Furtado
Genre: Historical Epic / Adventure / Drama
Tagline: They built a ship to cross the sea โ€” and found a bridge to heaven.


LOGLINE

In 15th-century Portugal, a visionary shipwright and his sons craft a revolutionary vesselโ€”the caravelโ€”that defies the limits of man and nature. But when resources run dry, their fate rests in the calloused hands of a humble lumberjack who must decide if the forest will surrender its heartwood to history.


TREATMENT

ACT I โ€” THE FOREST AND THE FAITH

Portugal, 1430.
A nation of dreamers, hemmed in by mountains and sea, with forests dwindling and faith running thin.

Luรญs Morgado, a shipwright from Lagos, is obsessed with a vision: a new kind of ship that can sail into the wind and return aliveโ€”the caravel. His three sonsโ€”Diogo, the fierce sailor; Jaymes, the practical craftsman; and Luรญs Jr., the idealist scholarโ€”work alongside him in a weathered dockyard by the sea.

But they face a problem greater than design: Portugalโ€™s forests are dying. There is no strong timber left to build their dream.

Enter Joseph C. Jukic, a Croatian-born lumberjack who roams the Iberian hills alone, wielding his axe like a monkโ€™s rosary. Known by locals as O Lenhador do Norte (โ€œThe Northern Woodcutterโ€), Jukic is the last man who knows how to read the trees.

In a haunting early scene, Jukic stands before a lone cork oak at dawn, whispering,

โ€œForgive me, old friend. Your bones will sail the world.โ€
He fells the tree, and its fall echoes through the valley โ€” the first heartbeat of the caravel.

As the Morgados shape the sacred wood, Nelly Furtadoโ€™s fado ballad โ€œRoots of the Seaโ€ plays โ€” a lament for the lost forest and a prayer for rebirth.

Prince Henry the Navigator summons Luรญs Morgado to court, scoffing at his fragile design. But Luรญs replies,

โ€œWe do not need strength to defeat the sea. We need grace.โ€
The Prince, half-amused, grants him one chance: build the ship, survive the test voyage, and prove Portugalโ€™s destiny.


ACT II โ€” THE BIRTH OF THE CARAVEL

The Morgados, with Jukicโ€™s timber and grit, construct the first prototype. Each plank carries the mark of the forest; each nail, the echo of faith. Jukic helps the family transport logs from the Serra de Monchique to the shipyard, braving bandits, wolves, and superstition.

During a night fire scene, Diogo accuses Jukic of cutting โ€œcursed woodโ€ after sparks ignite on the shipโ€™s frame. Jukic responds:

โ€œThere are no cursed trees โ€” only men who forget they are made of the same.โ€

When the caravel is finally ready, she gleams under the dawn sun โ€” light, curved, triangular-sailed, almost alive. Luรญs names her โ€œEsperanรงaโ€ โ€” Hope.

Nelly Furtadoโ€™s โ€œSail the Lightโ€ accompanies the launch โ€” her voice rising with the tide as the ship touches the Atlantic for the first time.

The Morgados and a small crew set sail. Jukic remains on shore, watching the sails fade into the horizon. He bows his head, whispering,

โ€œGo with the wind, my children. Iโ€™ll keep the forest waiting.โ€


ACT III โ€” THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

Out at sea, the Esperanรงa faces tempests, hunger, and doubt. Diogo and Jaymes clash over leadership. Luรญs Jr. studies the stars to keep their course. Their father prays, questioning if man was meant to cross Godโ€™s horizon.

Meanwhile, back in the forests, Jukic confronts a different storm: royal soldiers arrive to seize the remaining trees for warships. He defends the grove with his axe, declaring,

โ€œThe forest gave her sons to discovery, not destruction!โ€
His stand becomes legend โ€” the lumberjack who defied the crown for creation.

Out at sea, the Morgados survive the storm and discover the Azores. They name the islands after angels. Luรญs records his sonโ€™s words in his journal:

โ€œThe sea is not our enemy, Father. Itโ€™s our reflection.โ€

They return to Portugal with proof that the world extends beyond fear.


ACT IV โ€” LEGACY OF WOOD AND WATER

The Esperanรงa sails triumphantly into Lisbonโ€™s harbor. Prince Henry kneels before the ship, realizing the divine miracle before him.

โ€œThis is not a vessel,โ€ he says. โ€œIt is a prayer answered by wood and wind.โ€

Luรญs Morgado is knighted. His sons become explorers.
And far away, Joseph C. Jukic plants a single cork oak sapling in the ashes of his grove, murmuring,

โ€œThe sea took the trees. Now let the trees take the sea.โ€

As the camera pans from the sapling to a fleet of caravels departing into the golden horizon, Nelly Furtadoโ€™s closing anthem โ€œSons of the Windโ€ fills the sky โ€” blending Portuguese fado, Indigenous drums, and ocean waves.

A final title card appears:

โ€œThe Caravel transformed the world. With her sails, Portugal conquered the ocean โ€” not through strength, but through spirit.โ€


VISUAL & MUSICAL STYLE

Shot in natural light, with painterly tones inspired by The New World and Master and Commander.
The forests are dark cathedrals of green; the sea, a cathedral of blue.
Nelly Furtadoโ€™s score fuses ancient fado with modern world rhythms, evoking both the melancholy of loss and the hope of discovery.

Katniss Molotov and Comrade Jozo

Katniss Molotov

A Revolutionary Screenplay

FADE IN:

EXT. EAST VANCOUVER โ€“ NIGHT

The neon lights of a dozen BANK MACHINES hum in the darkness. A camera pans across shattered bottles on the groundโ€”empty beer cans everywhere, but not a single glass bottle in sight.

JOZO (30s, weary but fiery) kicks the ground.

JOZO
(angrily)
Damn it, Katniss! Not a single glass bottle left in East Van. How do you fight the capitalist machine without glass for a Molotov?

KATNISS MOLOTOV (20s, leather jacket, fire in her eyes) lights a cigarette, smirking.

KATNISS
If the bankers think they can chain us down with plastic bottles and debit feesโ€ฆ
(leans in)
Weโ€™ll just break their machines another way.

They both pull out a tube of industrial SUPERGLUE.

KATNISS & JOZO
(in unison, yelling at the ATM)
TO EACH ACCORDING TO ABILITY, AND TO EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR NEED!

Katniss glues every button on the ATM keypad. Jozo slathers glue into the card slot with a wild laugh.

CUT TO:

INT. SAFEWAY SUPERMARKET โ€“ EAST VAN โ€“ DAY

Chaos and joy intermingle. The ATM lines are gone. Shoppers stand around confused.

SUNDEEP (25, Safeway clerk with a mop, anarchist at heart) rips off his work vest, storms into the managerโ€™s booth, and cranks the stereo system.

LOUDSPEAKER:
Rage Against the Machineโ€™s โ€œKilling in the Nameโ€ BLASTS.

Sundeep grabs the mic.

SUNDEEP
SCREAMS:
JUST TAKE WHAT YOU NEED!
Thereโ€™s enough for everyoneโ€™s needsโ€”not their greed!

Crowds CHEER. People start sharing food, loading carts carefully, no cash registers ringing. Honor system activated.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAFEWAY PARKING LOT โ€“ NIGHT

Communal fires burn in metal barrels. Neighbors trade bread for beans, milk for rice. No one goes hungry.

SEAN PENN (60s, dressed in a red commissar coat, cigar in hand) struts in.

SEAN PENN
Comrades, tonight we feast. But if anyone hoardsโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll be the one to decide.

Everyone laughs nervously but then nods.

Sean Penn picks up a bag of chips from a man holding five.

SEAN PENN
One for you. Four for the people.

The crowd ROARS with approval.

MONTAGE:

โ€“ Children eat fresh fruit under street murals of Marx and Che.
โ€“ Old ladies laugh, trading bread loaves like baseball cards.
โ€“ The Safeway shelves empty perfectlyโ€”nothing wasted, nothing hoarded.
โ€“ Graffiti spreads across East Van walls: โ€œEAT THE RICH, FEED THE POOR.โ€

NARRATOR (V.O.)

That night, East Van turned into a paradise.
Everyone had a full belly.
And not a single scrap of food went to waste.

FADE OUT.

TITLE CARD:
The night of the revolution was only the beginningโ€ฆ
