Death Star: episode #5 Luke Skywalker
Beru, who has just talked with the Queen of the Rebellion (Samantha) and is now ready to go back to her house. She climbed in her ship and sealed the door. “Wow,” said Beru. “That meeting was just too short!” She started the engine of her rented ship. Beru started thinking of her “family”. Actually it was more like her husband and his family. You see, she lives on the desert planet called Tatooine. Her husband, named Owen is a moisture farmer. And the next part she regrets deeply. She also lives with Owen’s nephew, a young boy who is 18. She doesn’t even know who his parents are. All she knows is he is Owen’s brother’s kid. Tatooine, the planet most of the Banthas roam. Anyway, she is about to make the jump to lightspeed when she notices an incoming message on her message board. She turns the switch to on. “Beru, my dear, a request for a shipment I hadn’t expected them in today. We have enough containers now to put our items out to sell. I believe there is a costumer on The Blue Waters of Morva. Can you fly Luke over there to deliver the items?” Beru realizes it is Owen’s voice and says, “of course, dear.” So, she continues her flight home after putting the ship into lightspeed. Tatooine was towards the edge of the galaxy, but being in light speed, it didn’t matter too much. In about 3 hours she came out of lightspeed. Now she was within 10 miles of the stopping point that she would have to give her landing clearance access codes. A voice once again came over the ship. “You are within landing distance of the Planet Tatooine. Please enter. Stormtroopers will be waiting to check your ship and you. You may proceed now. And she did. She landed it just fine. Meanwhile, the boy named Luke Skywalker was in class. The school day is about to be over. Luke is very nice, handsome, and smart, but no one recognizes any of these things. Most of the people in his grade are snots and are jealous of him. Especially Luke Elliot Skywalker. You see “Skywalker” is a very common name. It’s so common that there are at least 50 of them in the school! Luke Elliot is like the most popular guy in school. He and his group of friends (which is mostly the whole school) make fun of Luke and are extremely mean and they also make up rumors. Luke has only two friends, named Joseph Reynolds and Biggs Darklighter. Anyway, Luke is in history class (sound familiar) with unfortunately Luke Elliot in it and not Joseph. Luke’s family is poor, which doesn’t help when other kids make fun of him. Anyway, Luke goes to school on the Coruscant…his family is so poor that they had to send him there instead of the one on Tatooine. Anyway, school let out that day and Luke had to go over by the other students to wit for a transport ship to drop him off at his planet. He was the only one in his class. Everyone else could fly ships and he couldn’t and they made fun of him for that, too. Luke goes back to his house after being picked up by that transport. He had his family’s landspeeder waiting by Mos Eisley where he got off. He went as fast as he could to his farm. He wanted to see as few Banthas, sandpeople, and Jawas as possible. Especially Banthas! They are just too nasty! Anyway, he made it to his house. Luke stepped out and ran over to his dad. “Dad, hey I’m back from school. I...” His dad cut him off by saying, “Luke, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you...”But Luke interrupted his dad once more by saying, “Dad, all the other kids can fly ships. They’re bugging me about it. Why won’t you let me? What is it you have to tell me?” Owen sighed. “Luke,” he began. Then Beru walked in and Owen looked up as Luke came in. Owen stopped. “Come, I have to talk to you in my room.” Owen pulled Luke along until they are alone... Until next time!
