'Angel'
We all know how in Episode One, Anakin tells Padméof the Angels on the Moons of Iego. He says he heard the deep-space pilots talk of them. This story tells of how Anakin first heard of the Angels.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Star Wars franchise. That's George Lucas' business, bro.
Anakin Skywalker, at age 7, was working inside Watto's Junkshop one hot day when he saw two strangers wander in. They were human, like Anakin. One was more slender than the other, but also shorter. They looked rugged and tired, but happy nonetheless. The pair was conversing in Huttese, a language Anakin was familiar with by now.
"Those Angels, wow, they were something else, weren't they?" the slender one said to his companion.
"They were. So beautiful," the taller one said.
Anakin was left alone in the shop while Watto was outside dealing with a new customer. He knew he had to say something to them. Walking over, he said, "Hello, men. My boss will be here soon," pausing, he added, "what are Angels?"
"Beautiful creatures, from the Moons of Iego. They look like humans, but paler – almost completely white – and they have wings." the tall one said.
"They flew up into space and we crashed down on the planet. They were breathtaking," the slender one added. "We lost a majority of our fuel, and could only make it to Tatooine. We also damaged our hyperdrive. No one else had the right one."
Anakin wanted to ask more about these beautiful creatures, but just then, Watto walked back in, done with the customer. He saw the two humans and exclaimed, "Boy! Why didn't you tell me there were more customers?"
"I'm sorry, Watto. I was going to get you, but the men were talking about the Angels," Anakin said softly.
Watto spat on the ground. "Fine. Go clean the fans, boy."
Nodding, Anakin walked out back to clean the fans, all the while thinking that one day, when he finally left this giant dust ball, he'd be able to see an Angel...
