Well, it is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

SUMMARY: This is my theory on the origins of those creatures with acidic blood.

It is set immediately following the events of "Star Wars III: Revenge Of The Sith."

PROLOGUE:

There was a traitor on board the Alderaanian starship where Luke and Leia had just been born. Somebody working for the now Emperor Palpatine. This traitor knew perfectly well that Padme Amidala Skywalker had not died in childbirth bringing forth the twins. Padme was pretty ill. Comatose in fact. Well she wouldn't be comatose for long, but neither had she long to live and this was all thanks to the thing about the same height and weight as R2-D2. It looked nothing like an astromech droid however. It bore a closer resemblance to what would be called a giant eggplant on Earth. But, believe me, it was no vegetable. It was an egg. An egg containing a creature shaped like a hideous, clawed hand. That "hand" had just leapt out of the egg and placed itself securely on Padme's comatose face and inserted the larva of an horrendous creature down her throat.

CHAPTER ONE:

As far as everybody on the planet Naboo was concerned the woman lying on the catafalque was dead. She had once been their Queen and a Senator of the now defunct Republic. Now here she was, in a funeral procession. Crowds of Nabooese of all intelligent species lining the streets of the parade route watched Padme Amidala Skywalker on her final journey.

Suddenly the procession stopped. It stopped because the woman everybody thought had died in childbirth suddenly came out her death-like coma. At first there were cheers from the crowd. A miracle must have happened! Their beloved Padme was not dead after all! She awoke with a scream, clutching her chest. The pain that she was experiencing was worse than the labor pains she had gone through giving birth to her son and daughter. Padme was convulsing and writhing while everyone around her watched in horror stunned by the bloodstains spontaneously appearing on the former Queen/Senator and now ex-wife of a Sith Lord's chest and the monstrous thing burst out of it with a scream of what one could describe as triumph.
