Storyboards
On this page, you can see some of the preproduction
storyboards made for the fan film. Artist Larry
Kitchen, using the rough draft of the script and markers, some Adobe
Photoshop, and a lot of imagination, Larry has visualized the story. This
will make it much easier for the production crew to 'see' the shots we
need for the film. Here is a sneak peek! More to come!
| Opening
Scene: Title
Scroll Background, Deep Space:
STAR WARS “The Last Garrison”
The Galactic Civil War is over. The Rebel
Alliance has won. The surviving Imperial forces are scattered throughout
the galaxy in a futile effort to regroup.
On a remote planet a small Imperial Garrison
wait for reinforcements with order to hold the supply base and keep
it from falling into the hands of the Rebellion… [storyboard 1] |

Space, Camera
pans down through the stars to a distant planet; a watery world,
much like our own. We hear the engine roar of a ship, and the familiar
triangle of the underside of a Star Destroyer fly’s overhead. [storyboard 2] |
 [storyboard 2] |
| But
something is not right. There are terrible impact craters and blaster
marks on the ship. As it slowly passes the camera, we seen the back
end of the ship. The 3 main engines are usually seen glowing bright,
but we see one working, one flickering, and one completely out.

It is obvious
this ship has seen a lot of action. |

The bridge
is in near chaos. Crewmen are seen feverously working to keep the
ship flying. [storyboard

The Star
Destroyer captain, like the German U-boat commander from the movie
Das-Boot, is busy giving orders, and keeping everything organized.
Broken pipes and debris litter the bridge, there are many walking
wounded. Lots of activity, and everyone is busy. |

| Interior,
Communication Room medium tight shot In the
communications section, we see a communications operator trying
to maintain a holographic broadcast with someone at the planet’s
base. The signal is weak with lots of distortion. [storyboard

 [storyboard 4] |
| Communications Operator: “…Say again, your transmission is being jammed.”
Hologram: “I repeat… We need reinforcements. Unknown number
of Rebels are now attacking the base. Our troop strength is down
to 25…” [storyboard 5]
|
 [storyboard 5] |
| Interior, Communication Room Medium shot The captain
approaches the radio transmission and is concerned about what is
being said. [storyboard 6] Captain: “What is the status of the supply base?” |
 [storyboard 6] |
| “A Rebel transport landed a few hours ago… maybe
a thousand or so men..."
Static, and hiss from the speaker. "...Mostly infantry, with
a squadron of X-wing class fighters. We managed to take a few of
them out along with the transport, but… We are out manned 50 to
one. The transmission fades almost away, and we can see the trooper firing his weapon. [storyboard 7] The signal is really bad, almost lost. |
 [storyboard 7] |
| Captain: “We are some 21 hours away, and will send a shuttle as soon as we can launch a transport from our hangar bay." He pauses, and continues: "Hold your position, we will pick you up.” Under his breath, as if speaking to himself, “I just hope we’re not too late.” [storyboard 8] He turns
and walks off camera. |

| Cut
to: Star
filled space, and a ‘beauty pass’ of the crippled star ship. We can see the planet in the distance, and pauses. [storyboard
