Once again I do not own STAR WARS, Lucasfilm and Disney does. Please review.
Most present Were impressed simply by the spectacle of it, that a small portion of any of their lives could be turned into such a grand display. It was mind-boggling, and some of their jaws actually dropped.
While it wasn't apparent to any of those present, Gramps was smirking under his hood. He wondered how they would react if they knew the real source of the Holo-Film, which he had gotten his hands on through, extenuating circumstance.
The planet of Tatooine emerges from out of the black.
A tiny white spacecraft, a Rebel Blockade Runner, called Tantive IV, firing lasers from the back of the ship, races through space. It is pursed by a giant Imperial Stardestroyer, Devastator. Hundreds of deadly laserbolts streak from the Imperial Stardestroyer, causing the main solar fin of the Rebel craft to disintegrate.
-REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - MAIN PASSAGEWAY-
An explosion rocks the ship as two Droids, Artoo-Detoo (R2- D2) and See-Threepio (C-3PO) struggle to make their way through the shaking, bouncing passageway. Both Droids are old and battered. Artoo is a short, cylindrical and domed, His face is a mass of computer lights surrounding a radar eye. Threepio, on the other hand, is a tall, slender Droid of human proportions. He has a gleaming gold-like metallic surface. Another blast shakes them as they struggle along their way.
THREEPIO: Did you hear that?
Artoo beeps out a reply.
THREEPIO: They've shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness!
Rebel troopers rush past the Droids and take up positions in the main passageway. They aim their weapons toward the door.
THREEPIO: We're doomed!
The little R2 unit makes a series of electronic sounds that only another Droid could understand.
THREEPIO: There'll be no escape for the Princess this time.
To those observing the events displayed so far, it came as something of a surprise that the first "people" to appear on screen were Threepio and Artoo.
"I remember when this happened." This was of course Leia.
Luke turned to her at this "So then this is when you were captured?" Leia simply nodded and Luke put his arm around his sister.
Han turned to Gramps asking "Why are we focussing on these 2? I mean, wouldn't something, anything, be more be more important?"
"Not at all Han my boy. They give us a unique perspective that allows us to see their view, as nobody really pays attention to them, it gives us the Point of view of a outsider."
Han just shook his Head up-and-down compliantly, turning back to the screen with the feeling that this was going to become a regular occurrence.
Artoo continues making beeping sounds. Tension mounts as loud metallic latches clank and the scream of heavy equipment are heard moving around the outside hull of the ship.
THREEPIO: What's that?
-SPACECRAFT IN SPACE-
The Imperial craft has easily overtaken the Rebel Blockade Runner. The smaller Rebel ship is being drawn into the underside dock of the giant Imperial starship. Soon the 2 ships will be docked, and the Rebels shall then be in trouble.
-REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER-
The nervous Rebel troopers aim their weapons, fidgeting all the while. Suddenly, a tremendous blast opens up a hole in the main passageway and a score of fearsome armored Stormtroopers make their way into the smoke-filled corridor. In a few minutes the entire passageway is ablaze with blaster fire. The deadly bolts ricochet in wild random patterns creating huge explosions. Plasma-bolts hit several Rebel soldiers who scream and stagger through the smoke, letting out their death wails.
An explosion hits near the Droids, who cross the hallway, and enter into another door leading to a adjacent sub-hallway.
- MAIN HALLWAY-
Then, as though being spit out of somebody's nightmare, The awesome, nearly seven-foot-tall Dark Lord of the Sith makes his way into the blinding light of the main passageway. This is Darth Vader, right hand of the Emperor. His face is obscured by his flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask, which stands out next to the white armored Imperial stormtroopers. Everyone instinctively backs away from the imposing warrior and a deathly quiet sweeps through the Rebel troops. Several of the Rebel troops break and run in a frenzied panic to get away from him.
Both Luke & Leia stiffen at the Sight of the man, who unknowingly to most in the room, was their Father. Even to Luke, who had only hours earlier not only faced the man in combat, but have been saved by him, and had even seen him off to the netherworld, it seemed so surreal to see him alive in such detail.
Oddly, Kylo Ren seemed to perk up at the sight of the Dark Lord.
Unknown to the twins themselves, Han, Chewie, Gramps, and Ren noticed. Though only the last 2 knew exactly why.
Ahsoka, who knew exactly who was under that mask felt pain, and undeniable wave of sadness.
He survey's the work of his men, making no moves to indicate his thoughts. He takes one final look and moves forward, the remaining stormtroopers Close behind.
-REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER-
A woman's hand puts a card into an opening in Artoo's dome, there is almost some reverence to the process. Artoo makes beeping sounds in response.
Threepio stands in a hallway, somewhat bewildered. Artoo is nowhere in sight. The pitiful screams of the doomed Rebel soldiers can be heard in the distance.
THREEPIO: Artoo-Detoo, where are you?
A familiar clanking sound attracts Threepio's attention and he spots little Artoo at the end of the hallway in a smoke- filled alcove. A beautiful young girl stands in front of Artoo. Surreal and out of place, dreamlike and half hidden in the smoke, she finishes adjusting something on Artoo's memory bank, then watches as the little Droid joins his companion.
THREEPIO: At last! Where have you been?
Stormtroopers can be heard battling in the distance.
THREEPIO: They're heading in this direction.
Artoo makes quick reply, assessing their position.
THREEPIO: What are we going to do? We'll be sent to the spice mine of Kessel or smashed into who knows what!
Artoo rolls past his gold friend and races down the subhallway. Threepio chases after him.
THREEPIO: Wait a minute, where are you going?
Artoo responds with electronic beeps.
-CORRIDOR-
A menagerie of rebels and Droids are directed by a battalion of stormtroopers. The rebels have their hands held above their heads, they've been captured. We begin to follow A select few troopers who move to find Lord Vader.
Darth Vader stands amid the bodies of his foes. He grabs a wounded Captain Antilles by the neck as the commander of the stormtrooper battalion, 501st, rushes up to the Dark Lord.
STORMTROOPER CAMMANDER: The Death Star plans are not in the main computer.
Vader squeezes the neck of Antilles, who struggles in vain.
VADER: Where are those transmissions you intercepted?
This is the first we've heard of Vader's voice, which is loud and mechanical. It carries a dark echo, which can be heard by all those in range. It is haunting how it can be Heard occurring almost simultaneously with his mechanical breathing, yet very much separate from one another.
VADER: What have you done with those plans?
Pretty much everybody Winced at this. All except Kylo Ren, who only seemed to get excited, almost like a child who gets a present they particularly wanted on their birthday.
REBEL OFFICER: We intercepted no transmissions. Aaah... This is a consular ship. Were on a diplomatic mission.
VADER: If this is a consular ship... were is the Ambassador?
The Rebel refuses to speak but eventually cries out as the Dark Lord applies ample pressure, creating a gruesome snapping sound as he breaks Antilles neck, and the Captain goes limp. Vader tosses the dead man against the wall and turns to his troops.
Once again almost everybody winced, However they also put Down their heads in memory of a man who loyally served the Rebellion to the end.
That is, with the exception of Ren, who huffed at their mourning.
VADER: Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the passengers. I want them alive!
The stormtroopers scurry into the sub-hallways.
-SUBHALLWAY-
The lovely young girl huddles in a small alcove as the stormtroopers search through the ship. It is of course Leia. The fear in her eyes slowly gives way to anger as the muted crushing sounds of the approaching stormtroopers grow louder. One of the troopers spots her.
TROOPER: There she is! Set for stun!
Leia steps from her hiding place and blasts a trooper with her blaster pistol. She starts to run but is felled by a stun shot. The troopers inspect her inert body.
TROOPER: She'll be all right. Inform Lord Vader we have a prisoner.
-SUBHALLWAY-
Artoo stops before the small hatch of an emergency escape-pod. Extending a arm, Artoo goes about opening it.
THREEPIO: Hey, you're not permitted in there. It's restricted. You'll be deactivated for sure.
Artoo beeps something to him.
THREEPIO: Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease! Now come out before somebody sees you.
This got a round of laughter from most. Even Ren seemed to smirk.
Artoo whistles something at his reluctant friend regarding the mission he is about to perform.
THREEPIO: Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about? I'm not getting in there!
Artoo isn't happy with Threepio's stubbornness, and he beeps and twangs angrily. A new explosion, this time very close, sends dust and debris through the narrow subhallway. Flames lick at Threepio and, after a flurry of electronic swearing from Artoo, the lanky robot jumps into the escape-pod.
THREEPIO: I'm going to regret this.
-IMPERIAL STARDESTROYER-
On the main viewscreen, the ecape-pod carrying two terrified Droids speeds away from the stricken Rebel spacecraft.
CHIEF PILOT: There goes another one.
CAPTAIN: Hold your fire. There are no life forms. It must have been short-circuited.
-ESCAPE - POD-
Artoo and Threepio look out at the receding Imperial starship. Stars circle as the pod rotates through space towards the planet.
THREEPIO: That's funny, the damage doesn't look as bad from out here.
Artoo beeps an assuring response.
THREEPIO: Are you sure this things safe?
-REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - HALLWAY-
Princess Leia is led down a low-ceilinged hallway by a squad of armored stormtroopers. Her hands are bound. They stop in a smoky hallway as Darth Vader emerges from the shadows. The sinister Dark Lord stares hard at the young senator, but she doesn't move.
LEIA: Darth Vader, only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this, when they hear you've attacked a diplomatic...
VADER: Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
LEIA: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan...
VADER: You're a part of the Rebel Alliance... and a traitor. Take her away!
Leia is marched away down the hallway and into the smoldering hole blasted in the side of the ship. An Imperial Officer turns to Vader.
IMPERIAL OFFICER: Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion in the senate.
VADER: I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base!
IMPERIAL OFFICER: She'll die before she tells you anything.
VADER: Leave that to me. Send a distress signal and then inform the senate that all aboard were killed!
Another Imperial Officer approaches Vader and the first Officer. They stop and snap to attention.
COMMANDER: Lord Vader, the battle station plans are not aboard this ship! And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard.
Vader turns to the first Officer.
VADER: She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod.
Vader turns back to Commander.
VADER: Send a detachment down to retrieve them. See to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time.
COMMANDER: Yes, sir.
They all then move out.
-SPACE-
The Imperial Stardestroyer comes over the surface of the planet Tatooine.
_TATOOINE - DESERT-
Jundland wastes, or "No Man's Land", where the rugged desert rock formations meet the foreboding dune sea. The two helpless Droids kick up clouds of sand as they leave the life-pod and clumsily work their way across the desert wasteland. The life-pod in the distance rests half buried in the sand.
At the sight of all the sand Rey sat up straighter, in fact so did Poe and Finn, surprised that there was another planet in the entire universe that could be mistaken for Jakku, but despite the similarities they could tell it wasn't quite the same.
Noticing their reaction Leia inquired as to the reason.
"What's wrong?"
A few people people look towards the 3 at this.
Rey was the one who answered.
"It Just reminds me, us, of Jakku. I used to live there." for a moment she seemed almost sad, then perked up considerably.
Luke asked a question now.
"Jakku?"
While the question was directed at Rey, it was Han who replied.
"Another dust-ball kid. You find it more towards the inner-rim. Western reaches. Not quite the same, but the two could be mistaken for one another at a glance. More sandpits than sand-people though. And it has an even lower population Than Tatooine, if you can believe it."
At this everybody but Gramps looked at him questioningly.
"Me and Chewie did some business there once or twice. Not much to see, but there are plenty of junk-dealers."
This effectively ended the conversation.
THREEPIO: How did we get into this mess? I really don't know how. We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Artoo answered with beeping sounds.
THREEPIO: I've got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen.
More than a few people in the audiance rolled their Eyes at this, more than used to Threepio's complaining. Ren was interestingly one of them.
Artoo continues to respond with beeping sounds.
THREEPIO: What a desolate place this is.
Suddenly Artoo whistles, makes a sharp right turn and starts off in the direction of the rocky formations. Threepio stops and yells at him.
THREEPIO: Where do you think you're going?
A stream of electronic noises pours forth from the small Droid.
THREEPIO: Well, I'm not going that way. It's much too rocky. This way is much easier.
Artoo counters with a long whistle.
THREEPIO: What makes you think there are settlements over there?
Artoo continues to make beeping sounds.
THREEPIO: Don't get technical with me.
Artoo continues to make beeping sounds, getting more and more agitated.
THREEPIO: What mission? What are you talking about?
Artoo sounds frantic and quite irritated at this point, as he continues to make his trademark beeps and whistles.
THREEPIO: I've just about had enough of you! Go that way! You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile!
Threepio gives the little Droid a swift kick and starts off in the direction of the vast dune sea.
THREEPIO: And don't let me catch you following me begging for help, because you won't get it.
Artoo's reply is a rather rude sound. He turns and trudges off in the direction of the towering mesas.
THREEPIO: No more adventures. I'm not going that way.
Artoo beeps to himself as he makes his way toward the distant mountains.
-TATOOINE - DUNE SEA-
Threepio, hot, and the Droid equivalent of tired, struggles up over the ridge of a dune; only to find more dunes, which seem to go on for endless miles. He looks back in the direction of the now distant rock formations. Directly to his left are the bones Long dead beast.
The bones catch the attention of everybody, except for Luke and Gramps. They actually know what this is. It is Finn who asks.
"What is that?" he says this was something equivalent to awe in his voice.
Luke quickly answers.
"That is the remains of Tatooine's most dangerous natural predator, the Krayt Dragon."
Hearing what it was Han exclaimed "They're real?! I thought those thing were just a myth!"
"No, though I've never seen one in person. They're real alright, as a kid I was warned that wandering into the Jundlund wastes meant you are at risk of running into one of them. Of course, so few survivors come back that it's hard to tell what's true about them or not. The Real threat on Tatooine are the Sand-people."
Most went quiet at this, finding that the desert planet was an extremely dangerous one, and made them wonder how anybody could even consider living there.
Rey in particular was reminded of her time on Jakku. She was beginning to find she had A few things in common with the man she intended to learn from.
THREEPIO: That malfunctioning little twerp. This is all his fault! He tricked me into going this way, but he'll do no better.
In a huff of anger and frustration, Threepio knocks the sand from his joints. His plight seems hopeless, when a glint of reflected light in the distance reveals an object moving towards him.
THREEPIO: Wait, what's that? A transport! I'm saved!
The gold Droid waves frantically and yells at the approaching transport.
THREEPIO: Over here! Hey, hey! Help! Please, help!
-TATOOINE - ROCK CANYON - SUNSET-
The gargantuan rock formations are shrouded in a strange foreboding mist and the onimous sounds of unearthly creatures fill the air. Artoo moves cautiously through the creepy rock canyon, inadvertently making a loud clicking noise as he goes. He hears a distant, hard, metallic sound and stops for a moment. Convinced he is alone, he continues on his way. In the distance, a pebble tumbles down the steep canyon wall and a small dark figure darts into the shadows. A little further up the canyon a slight flicker of light reveals a pair of eyes in the dark recesses only a few feet from the narrow path. The unsuspecting Droid waddles along the rugged trail until suddenly, out of nowhere, a powerful magnetic ray shoots out of the rocks and engulfs him in an eerie glow. He manages one short electronic squeak before he topples over onto his back. His bright computer lights flicker off, then on, then off again. Out of the rocks scurry three Jawas, no taller than Artoo. They holster strange and complex weapons as they cautiously approach the Droid. They wear grubby cloaks and their faces are shrouded so only their glowing eyes can be seen. They hiss and make odd guttural sounds as they heave the heavy Droid onto their shoulders and carry him off down the trail.
The eight Jawas carry Artoo out of the canyon to a huge tank like vehicle the size of a four-story house. They weld a small disk, a restraining bolt, on the side of Artoo and then put him under a large tube on the side of the vehicle and the little Droid is sucked into the giant machine. The filthy little Jawas scurry like rats up small ladders and enter the main cabin of the behemoth transport.
-SANDCRAWLER - HOLD AREA-
It is dim inside the hold area of the Sandcrawler. Artoo switches on a small floodlight on his forehead and stumbles around the scrap heap. The narrow beam swings across rusty metal ship parts and an array of grotesquely twisted and maimed Droids. He lets out a pathetic electronic whimper and stumbles off.
Artoo enters a wide room with a four-foot ceiling. In the middle of the scrap heap sit a dozen or so Droids of various shapes and sizes. Some are engaged in electronic conversation, while others simply mill about. A voice of recognition calls out from the gloom.
THREEPIO: Artoo?
Artoo seems to hear him and replies.
A battered Threepio scrambles up to Artoo and attempts to embrace him.
THREEPIO: Artoo-Detoo! It is you! It is you!
Most smiled, happy to see the two Droid companions back together again, no longer fighting, for now at least.
The enormous Sandcrawler lumbers off toward the magnificent twin suns, which are slowly setting over a distant mountain ridge.
-TATOOINE - DESERT - DAY-
Four Imperial stormtroopers mill about in front of the half buried escape-pod that brought Artoo and Threepio to Tatooine. A trooper yells to an officer some distance away, and another rides a Dewback in the background. They go about trying to find some evidence. A few more are milling about, all going about the same mission. 1 or 2 others can also be seen riding Dewback.
FIRST TROOPER: Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction.
A second trooper picks a small bit of metal out of the sand and gives it to the first trooper.
SECOND TROOPER: Look, sir - Droids.
-TATOOINE - DUNES-
The Sandcrawler moves slowly down a great sand dune.
-SANDCRAWLER-
Threepio and Artoo noisily bounce along inside the cramped prison chamber. Artoo appears to be shut off.
THREEPIO: We stopped. Wake up. Wake up!
Threepio's fist bangs the head of Artoo whose computer lights pop on as he begins beeping. At the far end of the long chamber a hatch opens, filling the chamber with blinding white light. a dozen or so Jawas make their way through the odd assortment of Droids.
THREEPIO: We're doomed.
Ever the pessimist apparently.
A Jawa starts moving toward them.
THREEPIO: Do you think they'll melt us down?
Artoo responds, making beeping sounds.
THREEPIO: Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Will this never end?
-TATOOINE - DESERT - LARS HOMESTEAD - AFTERNOON-
The Jawas mutter gibberish as they busily line up their battered captives, including Artoo and Threepio, in front of the enormous Sandcrawler, which is parked beside a small homestead consisting of three large holes in the ground surrounded by several tall moisture vaporators and one small adobe house.
Leia is intrigued, having been told about her brother's childhood home, the place where he was raised by their Aunt and Uncle. The place where their Grandmother was Buried.
The Jawas scurry around fussing over the Droids, straightening them up or brushing some dust from a dented metallic elbow. The shrouded little creatures smell horribly, attracting small insects to the dark areas where their mouths and nostrils should be. Out of the shadows of a dingy side-building limps Owen Lars, a large burly man in his early-fifties. His reddish eyes are sunken in a dust-covered face. As the farmer carefully inspects each Droid, he is closely followed by his slump- shouldered nephew, Luke Skywalker. One of the vile little Jawas walks ahead of the farmer spouting an animated sales pitch in a queer, unintelligible language. A voice calls out from one of the huge holes that form the homestead. Luke goes over to the edge and sees his Aunt Beru standing in the main courtyard.
BERU: Luke, tell your Uncle that if he gets a translator to be sure it speaks Bocce.
LUKE: It doesn't look like we have much of a choice, but I'll remind him.
Luke returns to his Uncle as they look over the Droids for sale with the Jawa leader. Owen stops in front of Threepio, there is a pause as if he recognizes the Droid, but he quickly disregards it.
OWEN: You, I suppose you're programmed for etiquette and protocol?
He says this as if expecting it.
THREEPIO: Protocol? Why, it's my primary function, Sir. I am well versed in all the customs ...
OWEN: I have no need for a protocol droid.
THREEPIO: (quickly) Of course you haven't Sir - not in an environment such as this - that's why I've also been programmed ...
OWEN: What I really need is a Droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
THREEPIO: Vaporators?! Sir - My first job was programming binary load lifters... very similar to your vaporators in most respects.
OWEN: Do you speak Bocce?
THREEPIO: Of course I can, sir. It's like a second language to me... I'm as fluent in Bocce...
OWEN: All right shut up! (turning to Jawa) I'll take this one.
THREEPIO: Shutting up, sir.
"Ha, finally someone gets goldenrod to shut up." This was Han.
Leia felt inclined to respond with "Now if only we could get the same from you."
This got a sarcastically hurt face from the Smuggler, and laughs from nearly everyone else.
Leia of course was smirking in good humor at her well timed jab.
OWEN: Luke!
Luke moves over to his Uncle.
OWEN: Take these two over to the garage, will you? I want you to have both of them cleaned up before dinner.
LUKE: But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters...
This got from most suppressed chuckles, while almost everybody else laughed out right. Luke just smiled good-naturedly.
"Sounding a little whiny there Luke!" This was Lando, in between loud guffaws.
Chewie chimed in next. "(Yes Luke, even when we first met, you never sounded quite this, childish. And that couldn't have been more than a few days after this.)"
Luke was still smiling.
" It was two days later actually, and I admit I was very naïve and immature back then. But that was four years ago, and things have changed quite a bit." The way he was smiling you could tell he wasn't at all bothered by it. In fact, it was a wonder he wasn't laughing hysterically himself.
Han couldn't help but reply "Tha ... thats quite .. Hahaha ... Big of you kid! HAHAHAHA, I know 10 guys who would never admit . . . Haha . . . admit to something like that."
While amused herself, Leia was mostly giving Han A look, and it clearly said "why am I with this guy again?"
Oddly Ren was giving him a similar, if different look.
OWEN: You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now come on, get to it!
Luke reluctantly complies.
LUKE: All right, come on! And the red one, come on. Well, come on, Red, let's go!
As the Jawas start to lead the three remaining Droids back into the Sandcrawler, Artoo lets out a pathetic little beep and starts after his old friend Threepio. He is restrained by a slimy Jawa, who zaps him with a control box. Owen is negotiating with the head Jawa. Luke and the two Droids start off for the garage when a plate pops off the top of the red astromech-droid's head plate and it sparks wildly.
LUKE: Uncle Owen...
OWEN: Yeah?
LUKE: This R2 unit has a bad motivator. Look!
OWEN: (to the head Jawa) Hey, what're you trying to push on us?
The Jawa goes into a loud spiel. Meanwhile, Artoo has sneaked out of line and is moving up and down trying to attract attention. He lets out with a low whistle. Threepio taps Luke on the shoulder.
THREEPIO: (pointing to Artoo) Excuse me, sir, but that R2 unit is in prime condition. A real bargain.
LUKE: Uncle Owen...
OWEN: Yeah?
LUKE: What about that one?
OWEN: (to Jawa) What about that blue one? We'll take that one.
With a little reluctance the scruffy dwarf trades the damaged Droid for Artoo.
THREEPIO: Uh, I'm quite sure you'll be very pleased with that one, sir. He really is in first-class condition. I've worked with him before. Here he comes.
Owen pays off the whining Jawa as Luke and the two Droids trudge off toward a grimy homestead entry.
LUKE: Okay, let's go.
THREEPIO: (to Artoo) Now, don't you forget this! Why I should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity!
There was something of a pause, then Han spoke up.
"Huh, Looks like Goldenrod was helpful for once. ]"
This got a chuckle out of most of those present. Gramps however turned to Han.
"I find you attitude towards that Droid most unnecessary. He is more than helpful, even if he doesn't know when to shut up. Frankly without him Artoo simply wouldn't be the same. Together they are complete, and without them this Galaxy would be Doomed!"
All of them were looking at him now, some with rather odd looks on their faces. It was Luke who replied to it however.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit? I mean they're definitely a big help, both of them, but without them the Galaxy would be doomed? Really? "
Gramps didn't actually look at him, but replied in the most serious of tones.
"Not at all. In fact without them, I'd say victory for the enemy was almost guaranteed."
Despite the fact that most had the Empire in mind when he said this, they also got the impression that he was talking about more than JUST the EMPIRE.
There you go, it was much easier to get this out than I first thought, though it was still exhausting. Hope you all enjoyed it.
I once again do not own STAR WARS, which is property of Lucasfilm and Disney! If I had $5 billion maybe this would be different.
I basically pasted the script for a new hope, up till this point, and then made the proper alterations. For instance, while the dialogue referred to them as droids, during all the descriptive portions of the script they were a called robots. I also made the dialogue more accurate to what was used in the film. For the rest I basically added stuff here and there, to give it my own touch. Just felt you'll deserved to know that. I should have the next chapter for you by tomorrow.
Anyway, please review.
