			<description><![CDATA[SotR: Chain of Command is set in the Star Wars universe, during the Clone Wars, and is about a 703rd legion Captain that gets demoted and has to deal with a bad commander that treats his men as less then human.
I'd really like opinions on word choice, spelling, the ending scenes, and the court marshals.
Also, if your don't understand some of the Star Wars terms, just say so and I'll explain them.

The script is long and kinda hard to read when not formatted correctly, so if you want to have the word document, just PM me with your email and I'll send it.

Chain of Command
INT. RANCOR BASE HALLWAY-DAY
JAY is being escorted to the meeting room by two troopers. JAY reaches the meeting room. The two troopers turn around and guard the door.
INT. MEETING ROOM-DAY
TITLE
Rancor Base:
Court-martial of CC-2134
Battle of Evron V: Day 21
TROOPER #1 and TROOPER #2 are guarding the door. KANTALIEA’s hologram and DIRKEN are talking.
DIRKEN
I think he should be executed.
KANTALIEA
Now let’s not be so rash.
The doors open and JAY enters the room.
KANTALIIEA
Ah, Captain Jay, please take a seat.
JAY remains standing.
KANTALIEA
Alright, since you are going to be briefed on a new assignment soon, I’ll make this as quick as possible. Padawan Dirken and I have been talking, and I have decided to demote you to Lieutenant.
DIRKEN suddenly stands up.
DIRKEN
But, General Telik! This clone defied a direct order!
KANATALIEA
Padawan! Sit down.
DIRKEN sits down.
KANTALIEA
What you said may be true, but I can’t afford to lose men that have had as much experience as Lieutenant Jay.
JAY is smirking at DIRKEN.
KANTALIEA
As for you Jay…
JAY looks at KANTALIEA.
KANTALIEA
(Temper rising)
I’ve let you off the hook before, but this is the last time. Another incident like this happens again and I’ll be forced to lock you in a cell for the rest of the war.
(Calms down)
Now please exchange your rank strap and head to the briefing room; your replacement has already arrived.
TRROPER #1 turns and holds out a rank strap to JAY.
INT. HALLWAY-DAY
JAY walks out of the meeting room and TREK runs up to him.
TREK
Captain! How did the court-martial go?
JAY
It’s Lieutenant now.
TREK
Oh… sorry. Well, you’ll be my captain, no matter who’s in charge.
JAY
Alright Trek, blind devotion later; lets go judge my replacement.
JAY and TREK walk down the hallway a little.
TREK
I bet he’s a mongrel.
JAY
Huh?
TREK
I bet you replacement is not a clone.
JAY
You figure?
TREK
Yeah, they’ve been in our navy for a while, but now they’re appearing in ground forces.
JAY
Let me guess. The mongrels are appearing in command positions right?
TREK
Yeah, I’d get a laugh if I see a mongrel slugging it out with us grunts.
From a side corridor, while looking at his data pad, KADE runs into JAY.
JAY
*oof*
KADE
Watch where you’re going clone!
KADE shoves past JAY, shaking his head.
KADE
(Mumbling)
I can’t find this blasted briefing room!
KADE walks down another hallway.
JAY
*growls* why I outa-
TREK
Leave it. It’s not going to do you any good.
JAY
Your right, but I’m sick of it; I’ve had to deal with this for 3 years.
TREK
Come on, the briefing room is just around the next corner.
JAY and TREK turn a corner and approach the briefing room.
INT. BRIEFING ROOM-DAY
In the briefing room LT#1 AND LT#2 are already waiting. JAY and TREK enter and sit down.
JAY
I think you’re right Trek.
TREK
What? That our new captain is a mongrel?
JAY
Yeah, only a mongrel would get lost in a base this size.
TREK
Maybe he dropped his map while in the ‘freshers.
JAY AND TREK
* Laughter *
KADE enters and all talking stops. KADE walks to the briefing room stage.
KADE
I’ll be your new CO: Captain Setmen.
KADE turns around.
KADE
Captain Kade Setmen.
Lights dim and blinds cover the windows.
KADE
Onto the briefing.
A hologram of a city appears behind KADE.
KADE
I’ll be assaulting the city of Gol, a major steppingstone to securing a nearby sep resupply depo. The sep lines are well fortified, so we’ll be breaking through their lines and then F and G Company will join us on the attack on the city itself. We’ll be moving up through the forest parallel to the main road, but droid forces my cause me to take a different route.
During the briefing JAY and TREK are talking.
TREK
You know what Jay?
JAY
What?
TREK
I think that’s the same mongrel that ran into us in the hallway.
JAY
(Sarcastically)
Great. This mission is going to be fun.
KADE
Dismissed.
OVER BLACK

3 hours later
EXT. BATTLEFIEL-DAY
An explosion envelops the screen.
TITLE
Stan Valley:
Off planned Republic route
Battle Everon V: Day 21
LT#1
Hold the line, SBDs are moving up!
LT#1 shoots at droids coming from the tree line and takes cover behind a log. Clone 1 is next to him.
CLONE 1
Sir, an ISP is moving up.
LT#1
(Muttering)
Yes, we’re saved.
An ISP moves up next to LT#1’s log.
CLONE 2
Vultures inbound!
CLONE 1 ducks and LT#1 looks up. A vulture droid strafes the ISP. PORT GUNNER is hit and STARBOARD GUNNER dives out of the ISP. The ISP is badly damaged.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
TREK is taking cover behind a log. CLONE 3 ducks down next to him.
CLONE 3
Lieutenant Trek, the E-Web is in position.
TREK
Tell them to focus fire on the supers; we’ll handle the B1’s.
CLONE 3
Sir, yes sir!
CLONE 3 motions towards E-WEB GUNNER and E-WEB GENERATER MONITER. The E-Web opens fire on the tree line. TREK gets up and fires at the tree line. E-WEB GUNNER is shot and falls over. E-WEB GENERATER MONITER gets up and mans the E-Web. E-WEB GENERATER MONITER is shot from behind.
CLONE 3
(Panicked)
They’ve flanked us!
TREK turns around and sees droids coming from behind a destroyed IFT-X. CLONE 3 is shot. TREK fires two shots at the flanking droids.
TREK
3rd Platoon: fall back!
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
KADE is the back of the battle, near a Cliffside. KADE sees 3rd Platoon retreating.
KADE
What are you doing? Hold the line!
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
JAY runs up to TREK and his retreating troops. TREK is walking backwards shooting at on coming droids. JAY joins TREK in shooting at the droids. The last 3rd Platoon trooper runs past. JAY and TREK turn around and run to a log. JAY and TREK take cover.
TREK
So how’s it going Jay?
KADE
Stupid clones! Get back there! Push back those droids!
JAY looks at KADE giving orders.
JAY
* Growls * not so good.
JAY starts to get up.
TREK
Wait. Remember what General Telik said.
JAY
I do, but I have to stop this. I have to stop Kade from killing us!
JAY gets up and walks towards KADE.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
JAY is approaching KADE.
JAY
Sargent, belay that order. Get me as many rocket launchers as you can scrape up. You-
KADE
Clone! What do you think your doing?
JAY
I’m fixing this mess, mongrel.
KADE
What did you call me?
JAY
You heard me: a weak, insignificant, mongrel.
KADE
How dare you speak to a respectable commanding officer that way.
JAY
A respectable commanding officer? A respectable commanding officer would lead from the front!
KADE
I need to survey the battlefield!
JAY
That’s a lie! Look around you: a spread out defense, poorly positioned tanks; my men are suffering because of your bad tactics.
KADE
No properly functioning clone would criticize a CO’s orders. You must be defective.
JAY
* Growl *
JAY clenches his fist. JAY punches KADE.
JAY
Properly functioning!? Defective!? You think we’re all the same don’t you? Your own little army of organic droids? Well, your wrong! We think, feel, and, incase you haven’t noticed, die! And every trooper I know has criticized a CO’s orders at one point or another.
KADE gets up and is about to say something.
JAY
So shut up, step back, and let the real soldiers do their work.
KADE looks to the side and then humbly towards the ground. JAY turns around.
JAY
All troops: fall back to 3rd Platoon’s position, E-Web teams: you’re at the front of the formation, ISPs: support the E-Web teams, and any remaining tanks: come to my position.
SARGENT 1, with a rocket launcher, runs up to JAY.
SARGENT 1
Sir, I’ve go troopers and launchers waiting for orders sir.
JAY
Get them up here and create an air screen; shoot down any unfriendly ship that comes by.
A vulture droid strafes JAY’s position. JAY ducks and SARGENT 1 aims his launcher. SARGENT 1 shoots the vulture droid.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
The vulture droid falls to the ground. An E-Web team starts setting up as a trooper and ISP provide covering fire. CLONE 4 and CLONE 5 run past them. A Corporate Alliance Tank breaks the tree line.
CLONE 4
Snail Tank!
The tank fires and an explosion envelops CLONE 4 and CLONE 5.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-DAY
JAY is watching the battle. JAY looks at KADE. KADE is looking at the ground and is near a destroyed tank. JAY turns and runs to the battle.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD-AFTERNOON
A medic is treating a wounded trooper.
TITLE
Stan Valley:
After Battle
Battle of Evron V: Day 21
JAY and TEK walk by, heading to a gunship. Other troopers are heading to gunships as well.
TREK
Cheer up: we won.
JAY looks at a trooper being carried to a gunship.
JAY
Yeah, but at a great cost.
TREK
Don’t take it out on yourself. There is nothing you could of done.
JAY
I could of taken charge before things got so bad.
TREK
Hmm…
TREK looks at KADE, who is looking at the ground while in a gunship.
TREK
Do you still think he is going to turn you in?
JAY
I have no idea, but whatever happens, I’ll just have to deal with it.
TREK
Yeah, it’s no like your gonna punch a Corp General
JAY
Heh, or a hologram.
JAY AND TREK
* chuckle*
JAY and TREK enter a gunship. The doors close.
INT. MEETING ROOM-AFTERNOON
The meeting room doors open and JAY walks in.
TITLE
Rancor Base:
Court-Martial of CL-2134
Battle of Evron V: Day 21
KANTALIEA’s is in the room and KADE is to one side of the meeting room.
KANATALEA
Today we are attending the court-martial of Lieutenant Jay, CL-2134, on the charges of insubordination, defying direct orders, and assaulting a superior officer. Is that right Captain Setmen?
KADE
I’ve actually thought about it ad I’m withdrawing all charges.
KANTALIEA
(Shocked)
what?
KADE
Also, I’m requesting that this clo- soldier gets a promotion. I’m also requesting a demotion and transfer of myself.
KANTALIEA
Um… can I ask why?
KADE
Of course. My reason for this is that I’ve…
KADE quickly glances at JAY.
KADE
… Had a change in perspective… and I don’t deserve to where this badge anymore.
KADE takes off his rank badge. KADE salutes.
KADE
I’ll be waiting for your reply.
KADE walks out of the room.
KANTALIEA
(Shocked)
Well… Captain Jay, you have permission to head to the armory and retrieve your previous rank strap.
JAY
Thank you ma’am.
JAY turns around.
KANTALIEA
I’m not the one you should be thanking.
JAY
Your right.
Jay walks out of the room.
