Jedi Stories: episode #16 Life on Tatooine
Since Maurders aren’t so bright, they didn’t know the true meaning of the
message of Dyrnwyn. Only the man Mr. Orange Idiot had shot & killed only two months
before, knew the true meaning. As you will see, dire consequences will result!
Now Lowdun and his wife have been married about a year and a half. Mary got
pregnant and is now about to have the kid. Lowdun is looking into moving from Mos
Eisley (where they originally settled on Tatooine) to establish a claim to start a moisture
farm. Lowdun looks at his boss, Mr. Calrissian. “Mr. Calrissian, mind if I ask you
something....” “Sure, what about?” “Do you know much about moisture farming?”
“Hhmm. What do you mean?” “You know, when people take moisture from the air and
it turns into water in those machines....I’ve heard it done before on desert planets like
this.” Mr. Calrissian says, “Sure...I suppose you could try it. You’re thinking about
starting a farm for yourself, aren’t you.” “Yes, sir, I am.” “Well, guess you’ll need a
vaporator. I can supply you with one.” “Sure and I’ll repay you, you can count on it!”
That very afternoon, Lowdun took the vaporator given to him and set out across the
steaming hot desert with is wife. Tatooine has two suns so it’s extra warm. Mary saw a
piece of land she liked. Lowdun agreed with her to settle there after testing the moisture
level. Surprisingly, it was very high. Lowdun saw some Jawas nearby and asked them for
help at making a house. The Jawa happily agreed. The Skywalkers (Lowdun and Mary)
did not know that they were not alone out in the desert....far across it was another house.
We will speak of that later. They had that house built within 3 hours. Later into the afternoon, Mary gave birth to a baby boy. They named him Summoner. They named
him this because his father (Lowdun) had been the Summoner of Clay Hill back on Mos
Eisley.
Lowdun and Mary were very happy with their life and with their only child so far.
In the next couple of years, Lowdun’s farm prospered. He had many vaporators that produced large amounts of water. Lowdun’s wife was again pregnant and they had
another boy that they named Brax. Brax is a year younger then Summoner. They ran
into a couple of Bantha problems, but nothing major. Some more farmers moved close
to Lowdun. Lowdun called his establishment Anchorhead. One day, as Lowdun was
going about his work...a visitor stopped by. He was a stranger to Lowdun, he’d never
seen the man before in his life.
Until next time!
