Death Star: episode #36 Owen’s Trip to Coruscant
Previously: Darth Vader, still in the questioning process, finds out certain information that others would rather have hidden from him. Samantha had said a line that triggered her memory of something unpleasant. Vader now knew that her weakness was Anakin Skywalker. Vader decided it was now a good idea to try to figure out this mystery. He tries mentioning Arawn’s name. It gets a reaction from Samantha in which Vader finds out she has a son. He concludes that she must have been raped by Arawn and got a son out of it. He is about to make sure his thinking is right when Ursula shows up and tells Vader to leave. Samantha knows who Vader is now. She heard of Darth Vader.
She knew who he was now. Vader was aware of this and also knew he wouldn’t get a second change at the mystery from her. But in the argument between Vader and Ursula, Samantha had escaped. All eyes had been on the arguers. Samantha was now on her way to Yavin. Vader turns and says, “She’s gone.” Ursula says, “I can see that.” Darth Vader says, “and since this assignment was in your hands and you had dismissed me, I guess you’re the one that ‘s going to take the responsibility for the loss. Palpatine's your father…it can’t be that bad.” Vader makes a fast getaway. His next destination was Tatooine. Vader smiled. So Samantha had a son and Arawn was the father. Ha! That was funny. You can’t say that Vader wasn’t a little annoyed, because he was. At least now he knew this mystery. At the same time as both Luke’s and Vader’s events, Owen had left for Coruscant. Luke’s medication was very expensive for their family. Luke had bad allergies, too, which there could be nothing done. They didn’t have enough money for allergy medicine or anything over the counter. The only time they ever bought any medication was for prescriptions. They’d known about Luke having asthma from the beginning. He had his first attack the day he was born. Luke had been an expensive baby. But he was all right now. The only thing was his asthma. And it wasn’t bad…as bad as it was when he was born, but it wouldn’t’ get any better now. The refills weren’t’ that often. Owen sighed. Luke was beginning to get difficult to raise. He got in arguments a lot about going to the academy and blah blah. Owen knew that Luke really didn’t like farming. And now he finds out tat his own wife abuses the boy. “Poor kid,” thought Owen. Anyway, he was approaching Coruscant. After landing his ship, Owen went to Imperial Security where all transactions like his took place. Gryvon was at the desk, let me remind you. Owen goes up to the counter and says, “I need a prescription refilled here.” Gryvon says, “all right.” Owen shows Gryvon Luke’s inhaler. Gryvon waved Owen on. He then goes to the pharmacy to go have it refilled. They do it, and Owen leaves. At the same time, Luke and I are heading back from Ben’s house. I say, “You know in that guy’s hut…I don’t think it was that obvious that you had asthma.” Luke says, “Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It was bothering me, but not enough to make it noticeable to other people” “I think he had to have know you already had it. He seemed pretty sure when he asked.” “Yeah, but I don’t know how he could have. My uncle doesn’t like him and chases him away whenever he comes around. The only thing would be if he stopped by to borrow something when I was really little and had an attack…and Owen was helping me…because I was too little to know what to do. It’s something strange to remember, though. Oh well.” “How long have you know n you had it?” “I don’t know…like for as long as I can remember. I must have been pretty young when they found out because I don’t remember finding out.” “I see.” We approached Luke’s’ family homestead just as Owen landed. But something no one saw was another ship had stayed in Owen’s shadow as they landed. It was Darth Vader.
