All of this is pretty much taken from the original movie! I DO NOT Own Star Wars (Unfortunately) Do not sue me!
Also, I know this isn't the best, I just wrote it to unbore me!
In a little home on the desert planet of Tatooine, Aiden, a 19 year old boy sits with his master Obi-Wan Kenobi. They are discussing the history of the Jedi council. Aiden sits there amazed by the description of the Temple and all of the Jedi Masters and Padawans that lived there. He runs a hand through his longish dark hair and wishes he could go back to that time, when the Jedi thrived, now it was just his master and him, the only Jedi out there...
"Master Yoda and...." Obi -Wan stops in the middle of his sentence, his head turns to the side, facing the door, his eyes seemed distant.
"Master...?" Aiden says quietly, concern in his voice.
"Wait here Aiden I shouldn't be but a moment." Obi-Wan says. He gets up; using the wall for support, the years of fighting had caught up with him, though he could be quite agile when he wanted to be. He picks up his dark brown cloak that barely misses the ground when he walks, he puts his hood up, so it hides the upper part of his face.
Aiden nods, even though the older man's back was to him.
-
Aiden watches as Obi-Wan walks into the small home, he is followed by a boy about his age, who is carrying an arm of a droid, behind him are a golden droid who was missing an arm, and a smaller droid that looks like the ones Aiden has read about that worked on ships.
The boy has shaggy, windblown hair and bright blue eyes. He is dressed in tight white clothing, that barely leaves anything to the imagination. This boy, Aiden thinks, is very attractive.
"Master...?" Aiden asks. The boy looks at him weirdly for calling the older man 'Master'.
"Ah! Aiden this is Luke. Luke, Aiden." Obi-Wan says he goes over to the little kitchen-type alcove, Luke has told the golden droid to sit down so he can start to re-attach the arm.
So this was Luke Skywalker, he had heard many stories about Luke's father from his master. This might be interesting...
"Hello." Aiden says to the boy.
"Hi." Luke looks from the droid to him and smiles briefly and returns to work.
"Do you know that you father fought in the wars, Luke?" Obi-Wan says, returning from the kitchen, restarting a conversation they had had before walking into the dwelling.
"No, my father didn't fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter." Luke tells the older man looking confused.
"That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved." Obi-Wan says he looks sad that the boy had not heard the truth about his father.
"You fought in the Clone Wars?" Luke says, looking amazed that he was talking to someone that had fought in the wars."Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father. I am also training Aiden here to become a Jedi." Luke looks at the other boy, then back to the older man "I wish I'd known my father."
Obi-Wan gets up. "He was the best star-pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend. Which reminds me..." He goes over to an old chest and starts going through it.
"Try in the left side, Master." Aiden helps, having an idea of what his master was looking for.
"Ah! Thank you." Obi-Wan shuffles through a few more things.
"There!" Luke announces finished fixing the droid.
"Thank you, Sir. If you'll not be needing me, I'll close down for awhile." the droid asks.
"Sure, go ahead." Luke replies.
"I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did." Obi-Wan says as he hands the blonde the handle of a light saber.
"What is it?" Luke says looking at the handle confused.
"Your fathers light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster." Obi-wan says with a hint of sadness to his voice.
Luke pushes a button on the handle of the light saber and Aiden watches as the blade comes out.
"An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire." Obi-Wan explains to the boy. Aiden can tell that Luke isn't paying attention any longer.
"How did my father die?"
Both of the Jedi look at Luke. "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."
Aiden looks at his master and raises an eyebrow, knowing that the story wasn't entirely true. Obi-Wan shakes his head a bit, meaning that Aiden shouldn't say anything and to drop it. Aiden looks at his Master, as if saying 'I understand.' and then looks back at the blonde.
"The Force?" Luke asks, looking confused again.
"Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." Obi- Wan explains, but the boy still looks puzzled.
Beeping sounds come from the little droid that has been standing in front of the door the whole time.
Obi-Wan faces the blue and white droid and smiles. "Now, let's see if we can't figure out what you are, my little friend. And where you come from." He moves towards the machine.
Luke faces Obi-Wan, "I saw part of the message he was..." he gets cut off by the droid's projection. Aiden looks at it, it's of a woman. She's very pretty, Aiden thinks.
"I seem to have found it." Obi-Wan says.
The hologram begins to speak, "General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." The woman looks over then the message ends.
Obi-Wan grabs a near by pipe and starts to smoke it. He looks at Aiden, with a bit of a twinkle in his eyes.
"Road trip?" Aiden asks with a smile.
Obi-Wan smiles at him and then turns to Luke. "You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with us to Alderaan."
Luke looks at the old man and starts to laugh. "Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan. I've got to go home. It's late; I'm in for it as it is."
"We need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing." Ben says. Aiden tries to ignore the last part, he doesn't want to think about Obi-Wan being too old, that means.... Aiden shakes his head, clearing those thoughts.
"I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it! But there's nothing I can do about it right now. It's such a long way from here." Luke says.
"That's your uncle talking." Obi-Wan states.
Luke's eyes get wide. "Oh, God, my uncle. How am I ever going to explain this?"
"Learn about the force Luke." Obi-Wan says again.
"Look, I can take you guys as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going." Luke says getting frustrated.
Obi-Wan sighs. "You must do what you feel is right, of course."
Aiden sits there, hoping the attractive boy will come, he can see his master sees something in the boy, if only Luke could understand. He internally sighs.

The three men and two droids are crammed into the tiny red speeder. Aiden is squished between Luke and Obi-Wan. It's not that bad, he thinks.
Aiden looks in the distance. "What is that?" He points at a dark smoke going into the sky.
Luke steers the speeder towards the smoldering Sandcrawler. The three men get out of the transport and walk towards the Sandcrawler. There are huge holes in it and there are bodies of Jawas scattered all around it.
"It looks like Sandpeople did this, all right. Look, here are Gaffi sticks, Bantha tracks. It's just...I never heard of them hitting anything this big before." Luke says.
Obi-Wan crouches down to study the tracks, "They didn't. But we are meant to think they did. These tracks are side by side. Sandpeople always ride single file to hide there numbers."
"Then who do you think did it?" Aiden asks.
"These are the same Jawas that sold us R2D2 and C-3PO." Luke says to himself.
"These blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise." Obi-Wan answers Aiden.
"Why would Imperial troops want to slaughter Jawas?" Aiden asks.
Luke looks back and sees the two droids. "The robots," he exclaims. Then horror and realization appear on his face. "If they traced the robots here, they may have learned who they sold them to. And that would lead them home!" He races towards the speeder and jumps in.
"Wait, Luke! It's too dangerous." Ben calls to Luke, but he's already speeding away.
~*~
C-3PO lays another body in the bonfire. The two Jedi and Droids have burned all of the Jawa bodies when Luke returns.
The two men walk over to the blonde, sensing what has happend.
"There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed, too, and the droids would be in the hands of the Empire." Obi-Wan consoles him.
Luke looks at the Jedi, "I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing here for me now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father."
Obi-Wan pats the boy on his back, "Let's go."
