Star Wars Family Tree

Title: Anakin Skywalker: Family Tree
Written by: Joseph C. Jukic
Starring: Hayden Christensen, Joseph C. Jukic, Justin Trudeau


Genre:

Epic Science Fantasy / Political Drama / Multiverse Adventure


Logline:

When the Force bends time itself, Anakin Skywalker discovers a hidden branch of his bloodline — the Skywalkers of Earth, descendants who carry the remnants of his light and dark sides. Among them, a Croatian-Canadian named Nikana Skywalker and his cousin Justin must help Anakin redeem his legacy before the galaxy — and Earth — fall to a reborn Sith empire masquerading as global leaders.


Synopsis:

Act I – The Bloodline Awakens

The film opens with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) in the afterlife, trapped between light and dark, haunted by visions of his descendants scattered across time. The Force reveals that the Skywalker lineage has splintered — not just across galaxies, but into alternate universes.

Meanwhile, on modern-day Earth, Nikana Skywalker (Joseph C. Jukic), a carpenter and part-time philosopher in British Columbia, begins having lucid dreams of lightsabers, galactic wars, and a voice calling his name — “Nikana… the Force remembers you.”

At the same time, Justin Skywalker (Justin Trudeau), a charismatic world leader who doesn’t yet know his Force heritage, is manipulated by shadowy technocrats aiming to create a “New Republic Order.” His idealism blinds him to the dark energy coiling beneath his government’s scientific ambitions — cloning, neural control, and political domination through AI.

A celestial rift opens above the Pacific. Through it, Anakin manifests — part spirit, part man — drawn to Earth by the echoes of his family’s imbalance.


Act II – The Earthborn Jedi

Anakin, cloaked and weary, finds Nikana living a humble life near Vancouver Island’s forests. He tells Nikana that the Skywalker blood is not a curse, but a promise — and that a new Sith Lord, Lord Nihlus Reborn, is preparing to merge the Galactic Empire’s remnants with Earth’s elite to control both realms.

As Anakin trains Nikana in the ways of the Force — using meditation, compassion, and even ancient Croatian warrior traditions — Justin begins to see strange manifestations around him: flickering holograms, premonitions of galactic war, and a black mask whispering in his dreams.

Nikana and Justin reunite in Ottawa after decades apart. Their meeting is uneasy — one is spiritual, the other political. But as Force visions intensify, they realize their shared ancestry: both descend from Leia Organa’s secret second child, hidden on Earth to protect the bloodline from extermination.


Act III – The Balance of Two Worlds

Anakin’s presence on Earth distorts reality, drawing Sith remnants through the rift. Governments panic, calling it a “dimensional anomaly.” Nikana, Justin, and Anakin join forces, forming a Triumvirate of Light to confront Lord Nihlus Reborn at CERN — the particle collider that has become a gateway to the dark side.

Anakin faces his final test: choosing whether to remain mortal and protect his family or return to the cosmic Force to seal the rift forever. Justin, seduced briefly by the promise of order and unity, nearly becomes the vessel for Nihlus. But Nikana intervenes — not with violence, but with forgiveness, reminding his cousin that “the Force is not about power — it’s about family.”

In a climactic duel blending lightsabers, lightning, and human empathy, Anakin sacrifices his spectral form to cleanse both universes. The rift collapses, leaving Earth bathed in auroras — the visible sign of the Force’s rebirth on a new world.


Epilogue – The Seeds of Tomorrow

Nikana walks through the woods of Vancouver, sensing peace but also the whisper of destiny. He buries Anakin’s lightsaber beneath an ancient cedar tree — symbol of renewal. Justin, now a reformed leader, establishes the Skywalker Foundation, dedicated to peace, climate balance, and spiritual evolution.

In the final shot, a child in Croatia lifts a toy lightsaber glowing faintly blue… the Force lives on.


Tone & Style:

Visually poetic, mixing Star Wars mythic grandeur with Tree of Life-style spirituality. The cinematography balances futuristic holograms with the natural beauty of Earth — mountains, oceans, and forests as symbols of the living Force.


Music:

Score by John Williams and Nelly Furtado, blending orchestral themes with world music and electronic undertones — the sound of two worlds becoming one.

Caravel Movie Treatment

🎬 Title: CARAVEL: THE OCEAN CONQUERORS

Written by: Joseph C. Jukic
Starring: Luís Morgado, Diogo Morgado, Jaymes Morgado, Luís Morgado Jr., and Joseph C. Jukic
Original Music by: Nelly Furtado
Genre: Historical Epic / Adventure / Drama
Tagline: They built a ship to cross the sea — and found a bridge to heaven.


LOGLINE

In 15th-century Portugal, a visionary shipwright and his sons craft a revolutionary vessel—the caravel—that defies the limits of man and nature. But when resources run dry, their fate rests in the calloused hands of a humble lumberjack who must decide if the forest will surrender its heartwood to history.


TREATMENT

ACT I — THE FOREST AND THE FAITH

Portugal, 1430.
A nation of dreamers, hemmed in by mountains and sea, with forests dwindling and faith running thin.

Luís Morgado, a shipwright from Lagos, is obsessed with a vision: a new kind of ship that can sail into the wind and return alive—the caravel. His three sons—Diogo, the fierce sailor; Jaymes, the practical craftsman; and Luís Jr., the idealist scholar—work alongside him in a weathered dockyard by the sea.

But they face a problem greater than design: Portugal’s forests are dying. There is no strong timber left to build their dream.

Enter Joseph C. Jukic, a Croatian-born lumberjack who roams the Iberian hills alone, wielding his axe like a monk’s rosary. Known by locals as O Lenhador do Norte (“The Northern Woodcutter”), Jukic is the last man who knows how to read the trees.

In a haunting early scene, Jukic stands before a lone cork oak at dawn, whispering,

“Forgive me, old friend. Your bones will sail the world.”
He fells the tree, and its fall echoes through the valley — the first heartbeat of the caravel.

As the Morgados shape the sacred wood, Nelly Furtado’s fado ballad “Roots of the Sea” plays — a lament for the lost forest and a prayer for rebirth.

Prince Henry the Navigator summons Luís Morgado to court, scoffing at his fragile design. But Luís replies,

“We do not need strength to defeat the sea. We need grace.”
The Prince, half-amused, grants him one chance: build the ship, survive the test voyage, and prove Portugal’s destiny.


ACT II — THE BIRTH OF THE CARAVEL

The Morgados, with Jukic’s timber and grit, construct the first prototype. Each plank carries the mark of the forest; each nail, the echo of faith. Jukic helps the family transport logs from the Serra de Monchique to the shipyard, braving bandits, wolves, and superstition.

During a night fire scene, Diogo accuses Jukic of cutting “cursed wood” after sparks ignite on the ship’s frame. Jukic responds:

“There are no cursed trees — only men who forget they are made of the same.”

When the caravel is finally ready, she gleams under the dawn sun — light, curved, triangular-sailed, almost alive. Luís names her “Esperança”Hope.

Nelly Furtado’s “Sail the Light” accompanies the launch — her voice rising with the tide as the ship touches the Atlantic for the first time.

The Morgados and a small crew set sail. Jukic remains on shore, watching the sails fade into the horizon. He bows his head, whispering,

“Go with the wind, my children. I’ll keep the forest waiting.”


ACT III — THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

Out at sea, the Esperança faces tempests, hunger, and doubt. Diogo and Jaymes clash over leadership. Luís Jr. studies the stars to keep their course. Their father prays, questioning if man was meant to cross God’s horizon.

Meanwhile, back in the forests, Jukic confronts a different storm: royal soldiers arrive to seize the remaining trees for warships. He defends the grove with his axe, declaring,

“The forest gave her sons to discovery, not destruction!”
His stand becomes legend — the lumberjack who defied the crown for creation.

Out at sea, the Morgados survive the storm and discover the Azores. They name the islands after angels. Luís records his son’s words in his journal:

“The sea is not our enemy, Father. It’s our reflection.”

They return to Portugal with proof that the world extends beyond fear.


ACT IV — LEGACY OF WOOD AND WATER

The Esperança sails triumphantly into Lisbon’s harbor. Prince Henry kneels before the ship, realizing the divine miracle before him.

“This is not a vessel,” he says. “It is a prayer answered by wood and wind.”

Luís Morgado is knighted. His sons become explorers.
And far away, Joseph C. Jukic plants a single cork oak sapling in the ashes of his grove, murmuring,

“The sea took the trees. Now let the trees take the sea.”

As the camera pans from the sapling to a fleet of caravels departing into the golden horizon, Nelly Furtado’s closing anthem “Sons of the Wind” fills the sky — blending Portuguese fado, Indigenous drums, and ocean waves.

A final title card appears:

“The Caravel transformed the world. With her sails, Portugal conquered the ocean — not through strength, but through spirit.”


VISUAL & MUSICAL STYLE

Shot in natural light, with painterly tones inspired by The New World and Master and Commander.
The forests are dark cathedrals of green; the sea, a cathedral of blue.
Nelly Furtado’s score fuses ancient fado with modern world rhythms, evoking both the melancholy of loss and the hope of discovery.

Christus Rex Movie Treatment

Title: Christus Rex
Scene: The Tree and the Tax Collector
Starring: Joseph C. Jukic as Christus Rex (Jesus), and Basashar as Zacchaeus the Tax Collector


EXT. JERICHO – DUSK

Golden light spills over the narrow road into Jericho. The crowd hums like bees — pilgrims, merchants, beggars, Roman soldiers — all pushing forward to see the man they call Christus Rex.

The sound of sandals on sand. Dust rising. Whispers follow Him like shadows.

At the edge of the road stands ZACCHAEUS (Basashar), a short, sharply dressed man with gold rings and nervous eyes. Children jeer at him. He’s despised but curious.

Zacchaeus looks down the road where the crowd parts for CHRISTUS REX (Joseph C. Jukic) — tall, calm, radiant but weary, as if carrying the weight of all empires.

Zacchaeus mutters to himself.

ZACCHAEUS
(to himself)
Too many people. I’ll never see Him from here.

He looks around, sees a fig tree with low branches, and scrambles up like a desperate boy escaping judgment. His sandals slip on the bark, but he climbs anyway.

Children laugh. A Roman guard shakes his head.

CHILD
(laughing)
Look! The tax man’s in a tree!

Zacchaeus ignores them, clutching the branches, peering through the leaves as Christus Rex approaches.

The Messiah slows his pace. The noise of the crowd fades as if the air itself is listening.

Christus looks up. His gaze pierces through leaves and pride.

CHRISTUS REX
(calling gently)
Zacchaeus… come down.

A stunned silence. The tax collector freezes, eyes wide.

ZACCHAEUS
(awkwardly)
You… you know my name?

CHRISTUS REX
I knew you before the coins chained your heart.
Come down, my friend. Tonight, I will dine at your house.

The crowd murmurs in disbelief. Pharisees whisper among themselves.

PHARISEE
He dines with sinners!

CHRISTUS REX
(turning to them, calm but thunderous)
I came not for the righteous… but for the lost.

Zacchaeus slides down the tree, landing awkwardly. He kneels before Christus, trembling.

ZACCHAEUS
Lord… I’ve cheated men. Taken what wasn’t mine.
But if you’ll come to my house — I’ll give half of what I own to the poor.
And if I’ve wronged anyone, I’ll repay them fourfold.

Christus places His hand on Zacchaeus’ head.

CHRISTUS REX
Salvation has come to your house, Zacchaeus.
The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.

The crowd falls silent. The sun breaks through the fig leaves, bathing both men in gold.

Christus Rex turns to the people — His eyes fierce, His voice echoing like wind over the desert.

CHRISTUS REX
The Kingdom of Heaven does not rise in marble palaces.
It begins… in the heart of a sinner who climbs a tree just to see God.

He smiles faintly, gestures for Zacchaeus to walk beside Him. Together they disappear into the glow of dusk.

FADE OUT.
