Death Star: episode #45 Attempted Trick and Vader’s 39th Birthday Celebration
Previously: I asked Owen about the possibility of getting involved with Luke in a romantic way. Owen said it would be all right with him, but it was up to Luke, Shmi and Owen see each other at the registration table, and then I go through the registration process. Part of it involves talking with Bail Organa. When I did, I find out that I’m really his daughter, Leia, and had been kidnapped by the Maurders. This means I was really from their world.
“Oh yeah, everything’s fine, but there is something you should know, however unbelievable it may sound.” I look at him puzzled. Bail then says, “You’re not really from another dimension, you’re from here. You’re my daughter, Leia…a princess from Alderaan, since I am the ruler of Alderaan.” “But how can this be?” “The Maurders kidnapped you and took you to that other dimension.” Just then Wedge and Biggs run by. Biggs says, “Wedge…are you coming or not?” “Yeah, I’m coming.” Bail bit his knuckle, glancing at the two boys. But his attention soon turns to 2 people that have just entered. “Are you all right?” I ask Bail. “What? Oh yes. Sorry, I was just thinking.” “What am I supposed to do now?” “Well, hang on. I need to finish telling you everything first. I‘ve looked a long time for you, Leia…ever since you were stolen. I’ve requested Shmi to send all people in that age range to me…because I was trying to find you.” He looks down at his hands. “Shmi doesn’t know I was looking for my daughter, though. I just told her I needed to talk with people about your age.” “I’m glad you found me,” I say. Bail nods and again looks over at the 2 people that had distracted him before (not Wedge and Biggs, but the other two.). It’s Maggie and Luke Elliot. “I’ll be back,” Bail says. “Those two people don’t belong here.” As Bail approaches them, they try to act normal. “Hello. I’m Leia and this is Luke. I need to know all our plans.” Bail almost laughs. Their performance was obviously fake. They were obviously trying to trick the Rebellion. “No,” says Bail. “You are not Leia. You are obviously trying to gain information. You obviously have been following the real Leia around…she has a friend named Luke, and the only way you’d know is if you spied. Your trick will not work.” Maggie stares at Bail. “’You know where the real Leia is…” “Yes, and I’m not telling you.” Luke Elliot and Maggie run out of there. Bail comes back to me. “Leia, you’re in danger. The Maurders will be looking for you. I’m going to send you to Alderaan to go get some papers I left at home. If the Maurders try and come back, you’d be gone, and they’d most likely give up. They’re like that.” “How am I supposed to get thee?” “Right…I’ll have Owen get you there. You were with him before, correct me if I’m wrong.” “That’s right, but I don’t want to trouble him.” “It’ll be all right.” I’ll find him then.” Bail nods. “Tell him I sent you.” I spot Owen easily and I go over to him. He turns. “Bail Organa told me to have you take me to Alderaan to get something for him.” “Bail did?” I nod. “He’s really my father…I guess I’m from here instead of the other dimension, and was kidnapped and taken there.” “Bail Organa, huh, well good for you.” Owen had already broken away from the person he had talked to and now we go together to Owen’s ship. “Yeah, and he told me my real name’s Leia.” Owen says, “That’s a pretty name.” We take off. Meanwhile, Darth Vader was on his way back to Coruscant. As soon as he lands, he grabs Summoner. “You’re going to a cell. Now get in the, NOW!!” Summoner gets in. “As soon as I find out what the Emperor wants, it’ll be torture time for you! Have fun.” Vader goes directly to the throne room. As he goes down the hall, he realizes something is amiss. There is music playing. “What’s going on?” he growls to himself as he approaches. As soon as he gets inside, he sees a big banner that says, “Happy Birthday, Darth Vader.” Vader angrily approaches the waiting Emperor. “Master, what is going on?” “We’re celebrating your 39th birthday.” “That was months ago, Master.” “I know, but I thought it would do you good.” Under the Emperor’s orders, people give Vader gifts nonstop for 3 hours. Then they give him a birthday dinner that lasts 2 more hours. Vader realizes that the Emperor is obviously trying to distract Vader. “Look,” he says standing up. “I need to go. I was in pursue of someone about the Death Star plans.” “Fine, Vader. But come back soon.” That just told Vader to make sure he stayed out as long as he could. As soon as Vader was able to get away, he tries tracking down Owen’s ship. “Good, there they are,” he says. “Looks like they’re heading for the Alderaan system?” As soon as we get out of hyperspace, right in front of us is an Imperial ship. “Great,” says Owen. “Now what.” But we can do very little. Imperial ships are all around us. Vader boards. “Now,” says Vader, “where are the plans.” He looks around, expecting Luke, Rhun, Riana, Nicole, Marion, and Beru to be there. “Where are the others?” “Far away from here,” says Owen. “The boy lied to me, so I guess I’ll have t take you two as prisoners.” “There’s just one problem with that, she’s the daughter of Bail Organa, who is leading the Rebellion.” Vader looked surprised, “but she is from…” “She was kidnapped and brought there.” Vader says, “It doesn’t matter. Maybe this will teach the Rebellion to break up.” Bail had announced to everyone that he found his daughter, Princess Leia of Alderaan. The news spread and within a couple hours, all important officials knew. From this point on out, I’ll be called Leia or Princess Leia. Vader captured Owen and me and took us to the Death Star.
