Death Star: episode #28 Luke and his uncles
Previously: Luke came home with me and found that they had company. Owen told them that Luke was his son. Luke and Owen had another private conversation in which Luke tells his uncle about needing his asthma medication refilled, about me, about the droids, and finally about his aunt abusing him.
Owen stood back in deep thought, he didn�t want to believe Luke, but he did. �How long has this been going on?� Luke say, � al long time. Almost for as long as I can remember.� Owen says, �Why didn�t you tell me sooner?� Luke says, �I don�t� know�I guess I was scared of what she�d do to me if she knew you found out.� Owen looks away, and then back at Luke, �Well you should have told me earlier.� Owen turns to go, but stops to listen to the wind. �Sounds like a sandstorm. You stay inside, Luke. I don�t want your asthma acting up. I�ll get everyone to come inside.� Luke didn�t argue with is uncle. Owen says, �All right, inside everyone.� Then he turns to Luke, �as soon as this storm clears up�I�ll head on out to Coruscant. I really should go there soon.� Owen didn�t really feel comfortable that Luke didn�t have his medication at his disposal�not that Luke had attacks very often�it just made him feel uncomfortable. Luke says, �Who are these people?� �Oh, Luke�this is your Uncle Rhun and his family. Rhun�s my brother. These are your cousins Riana and Nicole. And this is his wife, your Aunt Marion>� Luke sassy, �Hello.� Owen smiled, �and this is your grandfather Summoner Skywalker.� Summoner says, �Come here boy.� Luke goes over rot him. Summoner studies him and says, �You�re the only grandchild I hadn�t see yet. This is the first time I�ve seen your father (meaning Owen) since before the Clone Wars.� Luke had hard of the clone Wars through school and things, but the really didn�t know much about them other than they were a series of wars that involved the Maurders and the Old Republic that lasted for one year. He knew that the Maurders had had these evil clones, but that the Republic had own. He also knew that it had preceded the Empire. He thought the Empire had stared a couple years after the wars, but the wasn�t sure he had it right. Luke says, �That was a long time ago, wasn�t it?� Summoner says, �20 years ago.� Luke nods. Then he turns to Own (I cant� say his uncle because he has 2 uncles present), �is it all right if some of my friends come over�Joseph and Biggs?� Owen says, �Yeah, as long as you�re careful, Luke.� I was standing off to the side. �Is that your daughter, Owen?� Luke steps up, �No, she�s just a friend.� Owen nodded to confirm what Luke had said. Luke says, �This is my friend Lissy.� I need to go to Samantha now. I believe I last left her talking to Wicket. Wicket has just informed her of the Imperial probe droid. Samantha says, �Get me Gwydion, my parents, and Caspian. They should be on Yavin.� Wicket says, �all right.� Gwydion, Tim, Sally, and Caspian all appear on screen in a matter of minutes. Samantha says, �An imperial probe droid was seen here in search of the Rebel base. The Ewoks think it saw me. I was wondering if you thought I was in any real danger or anything.� Tim says, �I believe you are in danger.� �What should I do?� �Why don�t you come to Yavin�we could have you go under an alias so that the Empire doesn�t know.� Samantha says, �Sure, why not.� I�ve gone by other names before.� �How about Moon Mothma.� �Fin.� �I�ll inform Bail that we have you. All the Rebels on Yavin are going to have to find out you�re alive.� �All right�� So Samantha prepares to go off to join the Rebels on Yavin. Joseph says to Biggs as the rest of the class was leaving for Yavin, �Wait.� Biggs says, �Don�t you want to go hear the meeting?� Joseph says, �I�m sure they�ll be plenty more of those in the future to go to. Id� rather go race landspeeders with Luke.� Biggs says, �all right.� So they sneak away from the group. The sandstorm does not last long, so after it lets up, Beru comes home. �Sorry�that sandstorm held me up, Own.� She stops as she sees the company. Owen says, �this is my wife Beru�you all remember her, don�t� you?� Everyone nods. Luke says, �The storms� over�can I go to Anchorhead with Lissy, Riana, and Nicole?� Own nods, then says to Beru, �I have to go to Coruscant to get Luke�s� inhaler refilled. It shouldn�t� take long.� Beru says, �Whatever.� She gets into a deep conversation with Rhun and Marion. We all leave, and then once we�re away form the hut, Luke turns to his cousins. �How many people are in our family. I mean how many siblings do our fathers have? Is it just the two of them?� What Luke really wanted to know as about his own father, Alex. He knew that if both Own and Rhun were his uncles, and that if neither one was his father, then they at least had one more (Alex), unless his uncle had told him another lie and he wasn�t really related to them. But before either had time to answer, 2 people came in landspeeders.
Until next time!
