I was doing a quick patrol of the area when I saw it.
A small ship. It had X shaped wings and a thin cockpit, obviously a one man ship.
I gasped.
At the speed it's going it will never have time to turn before hitting a tree or something. I sprang into action.
Flying at full tilt I came up behind the ship. "Hey, you're gonna crash!"
"I KNOW! BUT I CAN'T SLOW DOWN!" The young man inside replied.
"I'll help!" I said, swooping under the ship. I put my hands on the underside and pushed up. The ship leveled out as I pushed. "Cut the engines!" I yelled. The only response I got was silence. "Thank You!"
Slowly I lowered down into a large open field. Landing, I gently lowered the ship. Once the ship was safely on the ground the young man opened the cockpit and clambered out, behind him came a small, very small, green man and from just behind the cockpit a small blue and white robot popped out. The strange trio climbed, or hovered in the case of the robot, down to Earth. "Thank you," The young man said. "My name is Luke Skywalker, this little droid here is R2D2 and this is my Jedi master Yoda."
"Hello Luke, R2D2 and Yoda," I said. "I am Cathy Phantom and your welcome." After a brief pause, I added. "What's a Jedi?"
"This planet haves not Jedi," The little green guy, Yoda, said. "Masters of the force and users of the lightsaber, Jedi are. Yeesssssss."
"Umm, okay," I said. "That clearly makes sense."
"Um, what Master Yoda is trying to say is that the Jedi Order is a religion I suppose. We don't use blasters-"
"What's a blaster?"
"Primitive, Luke this planet is," Yoda said, followed by a rather creepy little laugh.
"Right," Luke said looking down at his Jedi Master, still not sure what one of them is... "A blaster is a weapon that shoots lasers."
"You mean like this," I pointed at a weed growing off to the right of us and shot it with an ectoplasmic burst. "But from a gun."
Both Yoda and Luke looked shocked and the droid made some weird noise. Yoda tilted his head backwards and said, "You felt differently I thought. Strange powers, you have. Yeesssssss" You know, I never thought I'd be told I was strange by a little green dude...conn
