Many years ago, before the age of Youtube and Star Wars Fanfics were on AtomFilms (now Atom.com) I came across a fanfic where a Jedi lost his lightsaber and it landed in the suburbs of...I guess Earth?  A kid finds it and wreaks havoc with it until the Jedi returns to retrieve his saber.  I didn't think much of the video at the time, it had decent effects but lacked cinematography.  In recent years, I've been mulling over a Star Wars flick as I haven't done one, officially.  My idea is inspired by that fanfic.

Rough outline of my idea:

• Set centuries before Phantom Menace

• Jedi transporting valuable item, is pursued by bounty hunters.

• Jedi reaches a desolate planet (few farms, a spaceport here and there)

• Bounty Hunters shoot down the Jedi's transport in the upper ionosphere.

• As the transport descends down to the planet, the Jedi enters an escape pod with valuable item but loses his lightsaber as the transport breaks apart.

• On the planet surface, it is early morning as a farm boy watches through binoculars of the burning transport falls and crashes in the distant.

• The boy wakes his father, showing his father the binocular's recording.

• Together, they travel to the crash site.  The property owner where the transport crashed into had already put out the fire and let the farm boy and his dad in to scavenge.

• The boy finds the Jedi's lightsaber but keeps it to himself.

• The boy, at home, plays with the lightsaber, gets into a number of antics with it.

• The Bounty Hunters come to the wreckage looking for the valuable item, not knowing about the escape pod.

• The boy brings the lightsaber to school and gets into a number of antics with it.

• The bounty Hunters learn about the boy with the lightsaber and thinks he also has the valuable item.

• The bounty hunters hold the boy and his parents hostage as they tear through their farm looking for the valuable item.

• The Jedi shows up to fight off the bounty hunter

• The boy helps out, managing to dispatch one or two bounty hunters with the Jedi's lightsaber

• The bounty hunters flee.

• The Jedi commends the boy for his skills and asked the boy his name

• Boy says, "Skywalker.  Markham Skywalker" (A wink at Mark Hamill)

Given that we don't know much of the Skywalker family background beyond Shmi Skywalker, I feel this allows for creative liberties, even if it's not canon.
