Death Star: episode #41 Owen and Lissy: Approaching Anuvuin
Previously: Luke and I say good-bye because Owen is going to take me back to my world, and Luke is going off to Old Ben�s to take care of the plans. Owen confronted Beru about abusing Luke.
�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 thought I may not like it, you�ll have to go deliver the plans since they�re obviously important.� �Thanks, uncle,� Luke says as he take off his shirt. That�s when Owen notices the lightsaber. �Luke, where did you get that?� �Old Ben�he said it was my father�s and he wanted me to have it.� �Let me see it. Does it even work?� �Yeah�� he hands it to Owen. Owen nods. �Please let me keep it�it�s the only thing I have that was my father�s�I have no other connection.� Owen looks at it, then at Luke. �I don�t like the idea, but I suppose I can�t keep you form it since it�s been given to you.� Luke smiles. Owen then says, �Vader didn�t see it, did he?� �I don�t think so. If he did, he didn�t say anything. Why does Vader matter so much anyway, besides the fact that he killed my father? What did my father do that it would matter that much?� Owen ignores Luke�s question and tries to change the subject. �Yeah, you�ve got some bruises. Not bad though�they should be gone in a couple of days.� ��I�m taking Lissy now. Don�t listen to anymore that Old Ben tells you. It�s mostly lies. I�m going to the Rebel Base wherever it is as soon as I�ve finished taking care of Lissy. Go directly there after you�re done with the plans. We�ll decide where to go after that.� �All right.� Owen and Luke go back outside. Owen turns to Rhun, �Take your family to the Rebel Base�we have to find out where it is.� Beru steps forward, �Yavin�I�ve been working for the Rebellion.� Owen looks at her in surprise. �Okay, then Yavin�. Beru, go with my brother and Marion. We�ll all meet there, then decide where to go.� Owen turns to me. �We have to get to Mos Eisley somehow. Luke�s taking the speeder. Um, let me try next door and see if we can take theirs.� �Hello Mr. Darklighter,� Owen says as we approach. �Hello, Owen, who is this, your niece?� �Now�it�s a long story. How�s Biggs doing?� �Fine�I probably shouldn�t tell you this, but he made it into the Academy and he�s joined up with the Rebellion. How�s Luke?� �Fine�but the real reason I came here was to borrow your speeder. We�re in some kind of Imperial trouble�� �Sure, you can use it. We don�t go into town that much these days.� �Thanks.� As we leave, Owen says, �his son is one of Luke�s best friends�Biggs.� I nod, �I think I met him.� �You probably did�if Luke was out with his friends. Go ahead and get into the landspeeder.� I do. �I�m sorry about all this trouble I�ve caused,� I say. �I understand. No big deal. Now where were you when you got here?� �On somewhere called Anuvuin?� Owen nods, �right�Luke mentioned something about that. How do we go about doing this?� �There was some black sword the used to close it, so I�d assume that�s how you open it.� �Dyrnwyn?� �What?� �That�s the sword that was lost during the Clone Wars. It�s very powerful. If we get our hands on it, we should return it to the Rebellion. Would you be able to recognize where you were on the planet?� �I think�� Owen nods. �You know that planet is dangerous�it�s the Murder Base. I�m glad Luke�s not going there.� �Yeah�I really really appreciate you doing this for me. I know it�s a burden on you and your family, and if it hadn�t been for me, you wouldn�t be in the trouble with the Empire. I fee bad about that.� Owen looks at me carefully without saying anything. He shrugs as we continue moving towards Mos Eisley. �I hope you know this isn�t going to be an easy task.� I nod. �All right, we�re here. My ship�s in the docking bay over there.� I nod. �I was on it before.� He nods. We get on the ship, and he sets the course for Anuvuin. We encounter no problems on the way to the Maurder capital. �Luke�s a very nice boy�one of the nicest people I�ve ever met. You should be proud of him.� Owen smiles, �he is�and I am very proud of him. Of course he makes me mad sometimes, but what kid doesn�t?� Owen nods, �Luke�s a good kid. I love him very much. He�s my nephew, I assuming you knew that?� I nod. �People are meant to him and treat him badly. I don�t understand why�because he�s so nice.� �I think I can relate to that. The majority of people aren�t nice to me.� Owen nods, �I think you and he are a lot alike. Actually, Luke�s a lot like his father was. We�re here. I need to go as soon as we get the doorway open. I�ve got to meet with Luke and the others on Yavin,� �Thanks for your help.� Owen says, �You�re welcome.�
