*************************************************************
Obi-Wan Kenobi was getting on in years,his beard had started to gray around the edges,little wrinkles had formed at the corners of his eyes,but he was still as sharp as ever.Life on dull Tattooine,under its blazing suns and long days,and his own form of exile into hermitdom did not lax his connection to the force.So he was quite taken aback,when he entered his small stone hut-like house and was about to remove his traveling robes when he felt the fine hairs on the back of his neck raised up,alerting him to danger.
"Don't move Jedi...",came a raspy voice with a hint of an outworlder accent,"...it would be a shame to kill you right away".Obi-Wan gave his best bewildered old man look,as he narrowed his eyes to try and see into the darkness,"I believe you are mistaken,my good man",he said to the stranger,"I am no jedi...I am but a simple man....".A snort escaped the other man,as he interrupted Kenobi,"...trying to make your way in the universe?",he asked in obvious distain,"Jedi mind tricks don't work on me,old man",the stranger announced tersely.Obi-Wan had already guessed as much,for when he stretched out with the force,the man was percieve as nothing...as a blank dark wall...there was no seeing what layed behind it."I know exactly whom I am addressing....General Obi-Wan 'Ben' Kenobi...jedi master",the raspy voice incurred,"You have me at a disadvantage,good sir.Who might you be?",Kenobi asked.
The armored figure that stepped slowly out of the dark,was like a breathing nightmare of the past,as it waved the business end of a rifle at the older man for him to stay directly across from it.The dull metal shone a greenish coloring in the dim light of the stone house,and was battered and pock marked by past battles,fitted to a grey flightsuit.But what drew the jedi's attention was the black T-shaped visor of the helmet,he had seen it before....long ago,when he was younger,on that faithful mission to Kamino.Before the rise of the Galactic Empire...and the fall of the old Republic....before the purges....
"I am Boba Fett",the armored figure announced matter of factly,as if Obi-Wan should have known at least,and should be impressed.Kenobi did know the name,but the last time he had heard it,a young boy was attached to it...not this vessel of distruction."You...",he said softly,as if recognition suddenly dawned on him.The jedi took in the distance between the two men,and the younger man's armored bulk.If only he hadn't locked his lightsaber away in a secreted storage container,as if he could read Obi-Wan's thoughts,the hunter warned,"Don't even think about it jedi...or I'll put a hole in you that all the jedi meditation in the universe couldn't fix".The hunter waved his gun in a leisurely fashion at the older man's groin,making his point quite clear.Obi-Wan simply nodded,knowing that the other man had not dropped his guard in the least..."Why?",Fett suddenly asked in a demanding tone,"Eh...why what,young man?",the jedi asked back in response.
"Why didn't you tell the other jedi I was on Geonosis,you knew I was at the arena....with my father...why?",Boba Fett asked again in an irratated tone as if Kenobi should have known the question.Obi-Wan shrugged slightly,making the robe rise up off the sand at his feet,"A mistake perhaps,I had doubts about the council's decision.....",he replied glancing sideways to avoid the cold expressionless stare of the hollow visor."....I felt master Windu was over zealous in the situation...",Kenobi continued,but was cut off by the youthful hunter,"Over zealous?",Fett hissed the words like venom,"Isn't that always the way of a jedi?",he sneered.Obi-Wan frowned as he turned to lock eyes with the battered helm,"Your father was a dangerous man...",the jedi started,"AS WELL HE SHOULD BE!",snapped the hunter,suddenly Obi-Wan could feel behind that blank wall that was Boba Fett,the heat of an all devouring hate,reigned in,just below the surface...waiting.
"Do you know why Dooku left the jedi order?",the hunter asked,his voice had returned back to its flat lifeless state."Yes...",Obi-Wan replied quietly,wondering where the hunter was going with this odd line of questioning.The bounty hunter nodded in silence as if urging the jedi to continue,"....He had disgreements with the council,he doubted thier decisions...",Kenobi stated in puzzlement."But you said yourself that you had doubts,they alone did not drive Dooku away,it was one certain event that made him leave for good.....",Fett stated,as if hinting the jedi along."The battle of Galidraan...",Obi-Wan stated,"You mean the massacre of Galidraan",Boba Fett corrected the older man."My father was the only mandalorian to walk away from that battle...his people slaughtered...he was sold into slavery",the armored hunter growled,"...because of an error in judgement,a bit over over zealousness on a jedi's part".Fett tilted his helmet slightly,"I'm surprised you even know the name of the planet...the council never admits,much less records its mistakes.They just sweep them under a rug somewhere in the hopes no one ever discovers them",he hissed.
Obi-Wan Kenobi actually felt a little sadden by this boy,who had grown into nothing more than a vehicle of his father's vengence.Now the jedi master knew why Jango Fett had agreed to be cloned,it wasn't the money....it was revenge.The jedi wiped out the Mandalorian race,so Jango Fett help create a new one in his own image,and they in turn helped to wipe out the jedi during the purges."So this is about revenge,then why not simply shoot?",Obi-Wan asked,knowing the puzzle only grew more complex,revenge apparently was not that simple for the son as it was for the father.
Boba Fett lowered his rifle slightly,although Kenobi was sure he was stilled well guarded against any trickery the jedi might pull.Obi-Wan could have sworn he saw a slight hint of a smirk behind the dark visor,"it must be a trick of the light",he thought,as the hunter tilted his head and stated flatly,"A mistake perhaps.......I have doubts".
