Death Star: episode # 14 The Break in the Story and the Maurder
Previously: I went through the weird lights. Mr. Idiot ordered Mr. Piggeo to go look for the high school kids, which I was the only one that got through. The doorway is closed, and Magg almost captures me, but I escape. Also there was a little scene with Luke, Beru, and Arawn.
Beru, too embarrassed about Luke to admit any relation to him, just says that. Arawn studies Luke carefully. Luke sighs. His aunt can be so mean sometimes. He’s had to go along with what she wanted before, but it doesn’t make him feel any better about it. She’s actually hurt him physically and injured him before. Arawn says, “Can you help me load these things, boy?” “Sure.” Luke will do anything to put distance between himself and his aunt. While Luke is helping Arawn load, Arawn asks, “What’ is your name?” “Luke,” he replies. “And how old are you?” “Eighteen, why?” “Nothing…just wondering. I’m an Imperial Agent, you know. I work directly for Darth Vader. I don’t particularly like Darth Vader, but I’ll do a lot of money.” Arawn says. Then he laughs. “But who doesn’t. Well it looks like we’re all done here. Thanks for your help, boy.” “Uh…you’re welcome.” Luke doesn’t exactly feel comfortable around this Arawn person, but he’s not sure why. Beru whispers to Luke, “Let’s get out of here. I don’t like how that man looked at me.” “Always thinking of yourself.” “That’s enough form you. Get in the ship NOW!” Luke gets in without further comment. Once in Beru says, “Oh, we have another request from the planet Anuvuin…Owen didn’t know about this. I just got it.” Luke says, “all right…I don’t have a choice anyway.” Beru just gave him a dirty look. Back to Vader and the Emperor. Vader has just given the news of what he had discovered. The Emperor was an ugly, crinkly wrinkled old man. He was said to be the ugliest man in the galaxy. He wasn’t all that old. HE was about 60. Maybe a little over 60…but around there. HE looked like he was 90, though. HE had always looked older than he actually was. This was mostly due to the Dark Side. It seemed as if it were actually eating at this man. Anyway, Vader decides to check on how things were going with the Death Star. Darth Vader says, “Master, I’m leaving, is that all right?” The Emperor turns and demands from Vader, “Where are you going?” “I’m going to the Death Star to see how the plans are coming along with that. Is that a problem? Also, I want to see if I can’t learn any more of what the Maurders were up to.” “Fine, go Vader.” “Shall I report to you as things come along or when I return?” “When you return my servant.” Darth Vader turns to leave. He sees an officer, “Admiral, ready my ship, and have officers aboard my ship by the time I get there, and set the course for the Death Star.” “The Death Star. Yes, Lord Vader.” Once everything is set, and they are 10 minutes on their way, an orange ship can be seen. “Admiral, slow the ship down, that is a Maurder ship. Maybe I can learn the plans form him.” “Yes sir.” The ship is now slowed down. “Get an officer on bard, I want all Maurders aboard…alive.” “Yes sir.” An officer goes to get to get the Maurder. The Maurder is a 60-year-old named Summoner Skywalker. Summoner thinks, “This is just great. An Imperial ship. This is going to slow me majorly down.” Summoner is brought on bard. Vader turns to see Summoner. At first he does not recognize him…”You are a Maurder.” “Yes, but I was on my way to Tatooine to see my family.” “What is your name?” “Summoner, sir.” Darth Vader laughs. “It’s payback time.” “Payback time?” Darth Vader says, “Yes. I’m going to make you pay for everything you did to me. Now what are the Maurder plans?” “I never did anything to you. I don’t know what you’re talking about, Lord Vader.” “And I will take extreme pleasure in torturing the plans out of you.” “Please spare me, Lord Vader, I know nothing.” “Mr. Skywalker, I assure you that I will learn the plans from you. Tell me about your family.” (Vader suddenly realize his mistake, and hope Summoner didn’t notice.) Summoner says, “How did you know my last name?” “It’s none of your concern, but if you must know, I have sources…” “Please let me go…I am just a Maurder visiting my family.” “Tell me about your family.” “I have two sons.” Vader is not satisfied. “Is that all the children you have?” “No, I have another child. I sold him and his mother to the Hutts as when she was still pregnant with him.” “Say it again, and I just might let you go, maybe.” Vader turns to the Admiral and says, “Admiral, put a tracker on his ship, and prepare a torture chamber for this Maurder on Coruscant.” “Yes sir.” “Say what again?” “Your regrets about Anakin.”
