Star Wars: The Celestial War Trilogy
Episode VII – The Shroud of Destiny
Synopsis:
Decades after the fall of the Empire, the New Republic struggles to maintain order as warlords and remnants of the Imperial fleet regroup in the Outer Rim. Luke Skywalker has vanished, seeking ancient Jedi knowledge to restore the Order, while Leia Organa leads the Republic’s political and military efforts. A new force—The Eclipsed, a mysterious faction wielding a corrupted version of the Force—emerges from the Unknown Regions, threatening to consume both the Jedi and the Republic.
Storyline:
Young pilot and scavenger Kael Voss, a former Republic cadet disillusioned by galactic politics, stumbles upon an ancient Sith artifact on a distant world. Unbeknownst to him, the artifact is tied to Darth Noctis, an enigmatic figure who leads the Eclipsed and seeks to unravel the balance of the Force. Kael crosses paths with Seren Juno, a warrior monk from a lost Force tradition, and Garron Dain, a Republic Intelligence officer investigating an Eclipsed infiltration within the Senate.
As the Eclipsed launch their first attack, Leia sends her son, Joren Syndara, a reluctant Jedi apprentice, to find Luke. Meanwhile, Kael and Seren uncover an ancient star map revealing a hidden Jedi sanctuary. Kael, drawn to the dark energy of the artifact, begins experiencing visions of Darth Noctis, who tempts him with power. The film ends with Luke’s return, warning that the true war has just begun.
Episode VIII – The Eternal Storm
Synopsis:
With war erupting across the galaxy, the New Republic fractures under political turmoil and fear. Luke Skywalker begins training Kael and Joren to resist the Eclipsed’s growing influence, but Kael’s connection to the dark artifact weakens his resolve. The Republic Senate is on the verge of collapse as Darth Noctis’s agents manipulate key leaders from within.
Storyline:
As the Eclipsed push forward, Leia’s forces are forced to retreat to hidden bases. Kael, Seren, and Joren embark on a quest to locate the mythical Echo Core, a lost Jedi repository said to contain knowledge capable of resisting the Eclipsed’s dark influence. However, Kael’s internal conflict intensifies, and when confronted by Darth Noctis, he is forced to choose between his friends and the overwhelming power Noctis offers.
Meanwhile, Garron Dain discovers that a high-ranking Republic official, Chancellor Vel Orlen, has secretly aligned with the Eclipsed. Before he can expose the conspiracy, he is captured and tortured. Luke and Leia mount a desperate rescue, but in the ensuing battle, Luke sacrifices himself to protect Kael and Joren. In his final moments, Luke tells Kael, “Your destiny is still unwritten.”
Shattered by Luke’s death, the Jedi struggle to unite. Kael, consumed by guilt, vanishes into exile, while Joren, now resolved, steps forward as the leader of the Jedi resistance. Darth Noctis, having manipulated events to fracture the Republic and Jedi alike, declares that the final phase of his plan is at hand—the rebirth of the Sith.
Episode IX – Twilight of the Force
Synopsis:
The galaxy stands on the brink of oblivion. The Republic is in ruins, and Darth Noctis’s forces have begun their final campaign to seize control. Joren Syndara leads a desperate band of Jedi and rebels to mount a last stand. Meanwhile, Kael Voss, haunted by visions of Luke and his own failures, must make a choice—remain in hiding or embrace his destiny.
Storyline:
As the Eclipsed prepare to activate an ancient Sith superweapon hidden in the Unknown Regions, Joren and Seren lead an assault to stop them. Garron Dain, having escaped captivity, uncovers the final piece of Noctis’s plan—he intends to merge his essence with the Force itself, corrupting it entirely.
Kael, realizing he alone can resist Noctis’s influence due to his connection to the dark artifact, returns and challenges the Sith Lord. In a climactic duel, Kael outsmarts Noctis, using the artifact’s power against him. However, Noctis attempts to possess Kael’s mind, forcing him to make the ultimate sacrifice—allowing himself to be consumed to destroy Noctis from within.
With Noctis vanquished, the Eclipsed collapse, and the galaxy begins its long road to recovery. Joren assumes leadership of the new Jedi Order, while Leia works to rebuild a more just Republic. In the final scene, a lone figure—cloaked in white—retrieves Kael’s lost lightsaber, hinting that his legacy is not yet over.
The Force endures. The cycle continues.
THE END.
