Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
I really want to see how JJ fixes this. Can it be done?
From what I've heard, this is how Kennedy recruited JJ for EP.9. True story. All facts.
Kennedy - "How've you been, JJ? "
JJ nods and stares into Kennedy's eyes. The silence is shattering.
Kennedy- "I'm sorry you were sent to such a hellhole."
JJ - "I've seen worse."
Kennedy - "You have... haven't you..." (Star Trek Into Darkness)
JJ- "Yeah."
Kennedy - " JJ... I told you I'd help you when I could... you interested?"
JJ looks off at the distance.
Kennedy - " You can't possibly want to stay in Star Trek for another five years?"
JJ - "In here I know where I stand."
Kennedy - "Hear me out first. A covert operation is being geared up in the Far East. The computer dug out your name as one of the top three able to accomplish the mission."
JJ -"What mission?"
Kennedy - "Retcon Episode 8."
JJ- "Why me? Why now?"
Kennedy - "Episode 7 is the target area -- no one knows that terrain better than you. The risk factor is very high.You'll be temporarily reinstated in the forces; and if the operation is successful, there may be a Congressional pardon... are you in,JJ?"
JJ's eyes turn into Kennedy's. He nods his acceptance.
Kennedy -(continuing) "Good. I'll get the necessary clearances, and the next time we'll meet, it'll be in California with Special OP's designate who will honch the operation. All clear?"
Kennedy shakes JJ's hand and starts to turn away.
Kennedy - "I want you to know I did what I could to keep you out of here."
JJ nods... He believes her...
JJ -"I know."
Kennedy starts to leave.
JJ - "Ma'am.. Do we get to win this time?"
Kennedy - "This time it's up to you. "
