Just some random idea I had.

Qui-Gon Jinn sighed as he walked out of the Council Chambers. Yet another mission, he though in annoyance. He was tired from the last and didn't think he would be of much use when he was that tired.
Exhaustion was taking over him as he forced himself to focus on what he was reading about the planet of ZieGen. It was a quiet planet that hadn't had any wars in several thousand years. There were no enemies. Everyone loved the planet. It came as strange to the Jedi, but he was too tired to consider the reasons why it was so. The planet was controlled by Weju Twan, a man with an evil reputation, but it made no sense. The planet had no enemies, but the man had a bad reputation.
Qui-Gon sighed deeply again. I'll finish this on the transport, he thought, standing. He picked up the few books and walked out. He turned corners and followed hallways until he reached the landing platform where an old transport was waiting. He boarded and headed back to the quietest section. Seated, he tried once again to focus on the words, but he was just too tired.
Qui-Gon finally decided to sleep for a few hours and then finish with his studying. He would be of more use that way.

Qui-Gon exited the ship and was greeted by a boy of perhaps 15 years old. The boy smiled in a friendly way and bowed. "Hi," he said. Qui-Gon thought he detected a bit of nervousness in the child's voice as he spoke.
"Hello." Jinn looked around and didn't see any speeder or air taxi to take him to the palace. He cocked his head at the boy.
"The palace is close, so the king didn't send a transport," he explained. "It's close enough to walk… Unless—"
"No, no, that's fine," Qui-Gon interrupted. He studied the teen for several long and silent minutes. "I'm Qui-Gon Jinn."
Qui-Gon had expected a name in return, but he only accepted a smile as the boy lifted his bags with great ease and began to lead him through the streets. Qui-Gon chose to ignore it and take in the city.
It seemed strange. The streets were empty and the store windows were dark or boarded up. There was not a person to be seen. The only light came from the sun beating down upon them as they walked. The palace was the only building that looked as if it was cared for at all. It was a strange sight. Streets abandoned, there was no reason for this if the planet had no enemies. Qui-Gon suddenly thought there was a deep disturbance in the planet of ZieGen.

Okay. Tell me what you thought please. I'll add more as soon as I get around to it.
