Death Star: episode #20 Old Messages
Previously: Vader has the admiral turn his ship around and go back t Coruscant. Vader and the Emperor had a little talk. Vader reported abut Summoner, and unwillingly gave his identity. (Summoner�s). The Emperor informed Vader of the missing death Star plans. Gwythaint Hate then came in to report some information: Queen Samantha, the Queen of Coruscant from the days of the Old Republic is still alive. Darth Vader was there to hear that report. The Emperor naturally wants her captured. Vader also felt that the Emperor was hiding something�and he intended on finding out what it is. Finally, Vader left for the Death Star.
Upon Vader�s exit, he also knew the Emperor was hiding something from him. Vader would never dare to ask him something like hat. �I�ll just have to find out myself�� Vader said to himself. And that�s just what he intended on doing as he got back on his ship to travel to the Death Star. Darth Vader also knew that he had a lot to do. Endor, Blue Waters, Death Star, and Tatooine were the places he had to go. Back to Luke, me, and the droids. After he finished stacking the boxes to his aunt's satisfaction, I came up beside Luke. �She abuses you doesn�t she?� Luke turns to me, �No, it�s just�� but he couldn�t find anything else to say because he knew I was right�he had never told anyone. �Yes�� is all he said. �Does anyone know?� Luke sighs, �Please, just stay out of it. There�s noting you can do about it�my aunt would kill me if my uncle found out.� �Your aunt and uncle�what about your parents?� Right away I realized I shouldn�t have touched on that subject. Luke turned away and said, �they�re dead�they died when I was very young�I don�t even remember them�I have no memory of them. That makes sense, though because my uncle said I was a newborn when they died.� �I�m sorry,� is all I can say. �It�s all right.� Suddenly R2-D2 and C-3PO come towards us. C-3PO says, �Now can I tell you about my mission?� Luke exchanges a glance with me. �Sure go ahead, we�re listening.� C-3PO says, �We really must find this Obi-Wan Kenobi person�� Luke says, �I�ll try Old Ben. I really don�t know how much we can get out of him. Uncle Owen says he�s crazy and everyone around us seems to share his opinion. There�s nothing I can do for you now, though. I don�t want to bother my aunt�. I could try my uncle. IN the mean time, would you like to get cleaned up? It looks like you�ve been through quite a�� Luke says this as he touches a button on R2-D2 accidentally. �Dang it�I�m not mechanic and I think I just messed something up,� he says as a light comes out form R2-D2. Luke looks puzzled. R2-d2 is projecting a list of parts for some kind of ship with a voice saying, �here is a list of everything we need.� What is that?� asks Luke. C-3PO says, �I believe that is a printout of the parts someone needed for as ship. I believe his name is Qui-Gon Jinn.� Then the message light switches to a layout of some kind of palace, we assume. This time it�s a female voice, �Captain Panaka and I must enter her and get to the Viceroy. The battle outside is a distraction. The real battle will take place inside the palace.� Luke stares at C-3PO. �What is this?� �I�m afraid I�m not sure, sir�� R2-D2 beeps and Threepio translates. �Artoo says that it is a plan for some battle that took place 30 years ago and that it has little significance. I believe the person speaking is Padm� or Amidala or Samantha all the same person. Luke says, �Okay then.� Then another message comes up, �this message concerns Anakin Skywalker�he is in great danger. I�m afraid there�s something going on with him�he�s� acting kind of weird. I�m worried. And there is something I need to tell you, which is why I�m presenting myself in person to you tomorrow, Obi-Wan. This is much to o risky to put on her.� This message actually had an image of the person speaking. Luke sated at the image. �Who is that? She�s beautiful.� �The same person that was in the last message.� �Anakin Skywalker,� I say. �Isn�t that your last name, Luke?� He nods. �Yes, but he�s not related to me�I�ve never heard of him. There are hundreds of Skywalker's. It�s the most common last name.� C-3PO speaks up, �Anakin Skywalker was the person that made me.� �Well, maybe you could find him then and give him the message?� C-3PO says, �No sir�that message is also dated�20 years ago, almost.� Luke is starting to get kind of annoyed. �Is there any message on here that is present?� C-3PO says after some beeping form R2-D2, �Yes, there is one left, but it�s as private message for obi-Wan Kenobi from our last master, Captain Antilles.� �Who is Captain Antilles?� �The ruler of Alderaan.� I watched the whole conversation. I didn�t feel as if I could take part in it because I was not from there and had no idea what was going on. Beru takes us out of lightspeed as we approach Tatooine.
Until next time!
