Death Star: episode #40 Good-byes
Previously: Owen, Luke, and Rhun talked. Rhun found out that Luke is also Owen�s nephew (instead of son), since their other brother, Anakin, was his father. Luke also finds that out, which confuses him. Owen makes the decision that everyone that was there when Vader was needs to leave temporarily.
Owen says, �Good, because I don�t want you hurt.� Luke goes back outside. Owen turns towards Rhun, �An d I don�t want you to treat him badly because of it.� �So, Anakin and I didn�t get along. Luke�s Okay because I t thought he as your son because of how you presented him. You raised him. I guess I can accept that Anakin�s his father. He obviously can�t help it. Dad, however�� �And that�s exactly why I referred to him as my son. And we better go outside before Luke tells everyone about his encounter.� So, Rhun and Owen follow their nephew outside. Owen says, �Beru, we need to get out of here ASAP.� �Why?� �Because Luke knows something the Empire wants�Vader came here and Luke lied to him. As soon as he figures out it�s a lie, he�ll come back here and he�s not going to be in a too happy mood. Vader thinks we all know as much as Luke knows about it�� Beru nods her head. �Whatever.� �Oh, and Beru there is another matter we need to discuss about Luke.� I go over to Luke. �What�s wrong?� �Nothing, people just keep telling me lies. The man that killed my father attacked me�well he grabbed me and started questioning me, and now he has my grandfather.� �What are we going to do then?� �I don�t know.� �I need to get home�I don�t meant to be pushy or anything, but I need to get home.� Luke sighs, �Good point. I�ll see if I can get my uncle to take you. I think I�m going to go back to Old Ben with or without my uncle�s approval. We have to get that information to where it goes�it must be very important if Darth Vader came here.� �Darth Vader?� �The Emperor�s top man�he�s the one that killed my father as well as the rest of the Jedi.� �That�s right.� �Hold on, I�ll try to get my uncle.� �Uncle Owen? We need to get Lissy back home. She�s not from here, and we shouldn�t have her involved for very long.� �Hang on, Luke, I need to talk to Beru first,� replies Owen. Luke says quietly heading back towards me, �I�m going to Old Ben. You should be all right here. My uncle should take you, but I need to take care of that information.� �Good luck then, Luke. Thanks for being so nice to me and helping me out when those stupid Maurders were after me. I�ll never forget you.� Luke smiles, �It was nothing. I�ll always remember you, too.� I run up to Luke and hug him. Luke slowly lets me go. �Bye, and good luck to you, too,� he says. At the same time, Owen was saying, �Beru, Luke told me something�he told me you abuse him.� Owen watches Beru carefully. She gets mad. �I can�t believe he told you.� �Luke had every right to tell me. Why, Beru�why did you do this?� �I don�t know�I guess it�s because I don�t like him�� �Beru, what happened to our own children�Luke had nothing to do with it. You shouldn�t take it out on him, if that�s what you�re doing. I don�t want you hurting him anymore! He�s our nephew, and it hasn�t been easy on him� �It hasn�t been easy on me, either, Owen.� �It hasn�t been easy on anyone, Beru, but you have to accept everything. How long have you been abusing him?� �Since as soon as he could take it�I don�t know�when he was a couple years old or something, maybe even younger.� �I can�t believe I didn�t notice, Beru, but I�m glad he told me. Don�t hurt him again�� Beru is still mad and looks away. Luke has started to walk towards the speeder. �Luke�where do you think you are going?� �I was�� �Never mind, come here, I want to look at your shoulders where Darth Vader grabbed you.� �It�s not bad�� �Come here anyway.� Luke goes over to his uncle. They go back into the house. �What about the Imperials?� �Don�t worry about them right now. I have to do this now.� �Are you going to take Lissy back?� Owen nodded, �and even though I may not like it, you�ll have to go deliver the plans since they�re obviously important.� �Thanks, uncle,� Luke says as he takes off his shirt.
