Not sure if anyone would really want to see this, here's my script for my fanfic-fanfilm. It was written in one of my scripting programs, so spacing's going to be a bit off. All in all, the script is around 34 pages.

Part I
Crossing Over
It was a dark time in the galaxy.
The Jedi Order was on the brink of
extinction. The remnant of the
Jedi Council has decided to send
out teams of Jedi Masters and Jedi
Knights, a master and their student
to seek out possible candidates for
training.
The Jedi were given permission to
both test and retrieve the possible
students in anyway that they deemed
necessary. The Sith, also having
grown desperate for followers as
well and had dispatched their own
members to deal with the Jedi
missions as well as to recruit
students of their own.
The Jedi, upon learning of the Sith
threat altered their choices to
pursue future students and to
investigate the planet. They
needed to be knowledgable, to be
able to fit into their
environment...
and they needed to be expendable.

TILT DOWN TO -
EXT: QUIKSTOP - LATE EVENING
Two men walk across the front of the building, then cross
the street ... JACE & SOLINBEB
JACE
What's the plan, we takin them or
not?
SOLINBEB nods.
JACE (CONT'D)
Right...tomorrow night...
SOLINBEB starts to pull out his com unit.
A woman walks by, pausing momentarily and looking at the
two.
JACE (CONT'D)
S'up?
The woman shakes her head and continues walking. JACE
starts to follow the woman as SOLINBEB attempts getting
JACE's attention back, then finally reaching his hand out
and pulling at the air, JACE moving back towards to him.
SOLINBEB
I'll call when they're down for
pick-up. Keep your comlink turned
on.
JACE
(nodding) Yeah...
JACE & SOLINBEB begin to walk away and out of view. A
cloaked figure moves past the area and vanishes.
EXT: GREG'S APARTMENT COMPLEX
Several cars are lining the side of the building's parking
area. One car pulls into view and then pulls into a
parking space. The car's engine dies down and the driver,
SOLINBEB, opens the driver's door as the trunk opens,
showing several role playing books and a heavy looking
black backpack. SOLINBEB picks up the backpack and sling
it over his shoulder, then picks up the books and closes
the trunk.
INT: GREG'S APARTMENT - DINING AREA
Four role players, GREG, JEN, RICK and DAWN, are sitting
around a table talking about their past gaming sessions.
Each has their own set of dice, their character sheets, and
each pair has a role playing book between them.
GREG
I can't believe he's late.
Patrick's never late.
JEN
He'll be here. He said he was
wanting to try something new
tonight.
There's a knock at the door. DAWN stands at the table.
DAWN
I've got it. It's probably him.
RICK
It's about time.
DAWN walks out of view of the others. GREG stands and
begins to move towards the kitchen.
GREG
Anyone want anything?
INT: GREG'S APARTMENT - DOORWAY
DAWN opens the door. SOLINBEB, his arms loaded with books
steps in.
DAWN
I'll help with those.
SOLINBEB nods, offering her some of the books.
SOLINBEB
Thanks. So, is everyone else here?
DAWN and SOLINBEB walk back towards the dining area.
INT: GREG'S APARTMENT - DINING AREA
DAWN and SOLINBEB walk into view as GREG is handing people
their drinks and sits down in his place. SOLINBEB sets
down his books, then gets his other books from DAWN and
adds them to the pile on the table. DAWN starts to sit
down as SOLINBEB begins to speak.
SOLINBEB
How long have we been getting
together like this? One...two
months now?
RICK
(exasperated) Nearly three months
now... And we"re are still
training.
SOLINBEB
(chuckling softly) Patience young
padawan. Anyway, I was thinking of
trying something a bit more
challenging. Has anyone ever tried
live action role playing before?
JEN nods. RICK shrugs. DAWN raises an eyebrow.
GREG
Jen and I have before, its kind of
fun.
RICK
Sounds a bit dull.
DAWN
Oh shut up, Rick. At least maybe
you'll get to do more than roll
dice.
SOLINBEB nods, then takes off his backpack and sets it down
on the table.
SOLINBEB
Well, since I kind of sprang this
on you at the last minute, I felt
that I should at least provide
props... And being that I'm your
Jedi master, so to speak, I'm
giving you training lightsabers.
SOLINBEB opens his backpack which is full of lightsabers.
He hands four of them out, blue, green, red and purple. He
gives the purple to GREG, the blue to JEN, the green to
DAWN and the red to RICK.
SOLINBEB (CONT'D)
Now these are yours to keep.
RICK
Oh good...toy lightsabers.
DAWN
Rick, would you just shut up for
once.
GREG
Both of you, just calm down.
SOLINBEB chuckles slightly during the conversation, then
zips his backpack closed again. He looks around the table,
then slides his backpack back on.
JEN
So, when do we start?
SOLINBEB
Well, as soon as we take a little
trip.
An associate of mine is bringing
his group as well, we'll be meeting
them there.
JEN
Are they anyone we know? This
could be fun with a larger group.
Are we all playing Jedi students?
SOLINBEB
No, I don't think you'll know them.
And yes, they are also students.
The other teacher is one I trained
as a Jedi...so to speak.
DAWN
Sounds interesting. So, when are
we going and where?
The group starts to get up slowly, then they begin to pick
up their things.
SOLINBEB
You'll just need your lightsabers.
Everything else will be provided
for you.
RICK
So, when do we go do this game of
yours?
SOLINBEB pulls a small remote-like object from his jacket
pocket and turns a small dial on the surface.
SOLINBEB
Well, as the saying goes, there's
no time like the present.
GREG
Then let's go.
JEN
Ready when you are.
DAWN
You still haven't said where we're
going.
SOLINBEB nods slightly and they all look towards him.
SOLINBEB
A long time ago in a galaxy far far
away.
JEN
(reaching for the remote) Wait!
A bright flash of light comes from the object in SOLINBEB's
hand. Slowly each of the role players begins to slump back
down into their seats, then lean down over the table
appearing to fall asleep. SOLINBEB returns the box to his
pocket and brings out another small object. He presses his
thumb against it and brings it to his mouth.
SOLINBEB
Jace, they're ready.
JACE (O.C.)
Knocked em out? I'm coming for the
pick up, Solinbeb.
SOLINBEB
Good, I'll have them waiting.
Solinbeb out.
