I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS.
Chapter 4
The speeder was pulling up into the city. The city was crowed as always, smugglers, traders, and civilians were along the city streets, "Mos Eisley spaceport, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious," Obi-Wan said.
Something was also out of the ordinary. Along with the everyday people, there were Imperial Stormtroopers.
They were riding up on one of the streets when they were stopped, "How long have you had these droids?" one asked.
"Three or four seasons," Luke lied.
"They're up for sale if you want them," Obi-Wan added.
Ahsoka figured she should show off some of her acting skills too, "They are a real bargain, best pair of droids on Tatooine."
"Let me see your identification," the same trooper said.
Obi-Wan waved his hand in the air, "You don't need to see his identification."
"We don't need to see his identification."
Obi-Wan waved his hand again, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
"These aren't the droids we're looking for."
Luke was watching Obi-Wan in amazement, wondering how he was doing it. "He can go about his business."
"You can go about your business."
"Move along."
"Move along, Move along," the stormtrooper waved them on, and Luke drove away. He drove up to the nearby cantina and parked right alongside it and Jawas came running up to the speeder.
"I can't abide those Jawas, disgusting creatures!" C-3PO said.
Luke shooed them off, "Go on, go on," the little creature ran off, "I can't understand how we got by those troops. I thought we were dead."
"The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded," Obi-Wan replied.
"Haven't you heard about the old Jedi mind tricks?" Ahsoka asked.
Luke shook his head, "Should I have?"
Ahsoka rolled her eyes and headed for the Cantina door, "Come on, Sky Guy,"
"Sky Guy? Really?" Luke said annoyed, he rolled his eyes now and turned to Obi-Wan, "Do you really think we're gonna find a pilot here that'll take us to Alderaan?"
"Most of the best freighter pilots are to be found here, only, watch your step. This place can be a little rough," Obi-Wan informed.
"I'm ready for anything," Luke said full of confidence.
"Come along, R2," 3PO said as they all went into the Cantina. Luke, Ahsoka, and the droid stood in the door way watching all sorts of creatures from off world. Obi-Wan went to find a pilot to take them to Alderaan. Luke looked at Ahsoka, wondering if they should go and get a drink, and she shrugged back at him. They both started walking down the stairs into the Cantina.
"Hey! We don't serve their kind here," the bartender said angrily.
"What?" asked Luke, looking at the bartender then to Ahsoka.
"Your droids! They will have to wait outside. We don't want them here."
Ahsoka whispered to Luke, "I Could force persuade him?' Luke shook his head in disapproval, "What if those troops get them?"
"Ben, wouldn't like it," Luke told Ahsoka then he turned to the droids, "Why don't you wait out by the speeder, we don't want any trouble here?"
"I heartily agree with you sir," C-3PO said as he and R2 walked out the door. Both Luke and Ahsoka made their way towards the bar and sat down on stools. Luke nudge the bar tender.
"I'll have one of those," Luke said pointing on a drink he was already making.
"Me too," Ahsoka added. The bar tender was getting even more annoyed with them; however, he wanted his money so he tried to be polite and make the drinks. They both sat in silence observing everyone around them, and trying their best not to disturbed anyone else. However, that was too late.
An Aqualish came up to them and spoke in a weird language, that neither Luke nor Ahsoka understood, so they both just ignored it. Next a weird human, with a smashed in face came up to them, "He doesn't like you," pointing at the Aqualish.
"I'm sorry," Luke replied, turning back to his drink.
The man pulled him around, "I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems," the guy said proudly.
"I will be careful," Luke told the man. Ahsoka didn't like where this was going, she placed her hand on one of her lightsabers, just in case.
"You'll be dead!" He screamed angrily.
Luckily, Obi-Wan came around, "This one isn't worth the effort. Come, let me get you something," he offered to the crazed man. However, he shoved Luke back, and before Ahsoka could take out her lightsaber, Obi-Wan already did. He blocked the humans and the Aqualish's shots from their blasters. Obi-Wan sliced off the Aqualish's arm to stop the violence. He then calmly put his lightsaber down.
Ahsoka was by Luke, making sure he was okay and helping him get back up onto his feet. Everyone at the cantina went back to whatever they were doing and the band started playing again. Obi-Wan said, "Chewbacca here is first mate on a ship that might suit us."
"Chewbacca? Hey Chewbacca! Remember me? Ahsoka Tano?" Ahsoka was excited to see the wookiee she met so many years ago on Wasskah, while they were being hunted down by Trandoshans. The Wookiee roared in happiness and hugged Ahsoka tightly while Ahsoka laughed.
"I am sorry, but you two know each other?" Obi-Wan asked confused on how they knew each other.
"Remember when I got captured when I was fourteen on Felucia? And I was taken to Wasskah? Well, Chewbacca helped rescue me and the other younglings at the time."
"Ah, yes I do remember now," Obi-Wan said. Chewbacca lead them all to a table. They all took their seats and a male human came to their table.
"Han Solo. I'm Captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie, here tells me you are looking passage to the Alderaan System."
"Yes, indeed. If it's a fast ship," Obi-Wan the told the human.
"Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?" Captain Solo said in disbelief.
"Should I have?" Luke and Ahsoka shared confused looks, they had never heard of it either.
"It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs!" Han Solo explained to them, "I've outrun imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man." There was a pause, "What's the cargo?" he asked all three of them.
Master Obi-Wan replied to him, "Only passengers- myself, the boy, the girl, two droids, and no questions asked."
Han smiled handsomely, "What is it, some kind of local trouble?"
"Let's just say we'd like to avoid any imperial entanglements."
"Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? An it's gonna cost you something extra. Ten thousand, all in advance."
Luke looked outraged, "Ten thousand? We could almost buy our own ship for that!"
"But who's gonna fly it kid, you?"
"You bet I could. I'm not such a bad pilot myself," Luke was now sitting on the edge of his set, "You tell him, Ahsoka!" He now looked at Ahsoka for some support.
However, she just looked the other way, "I am not getting involved with your feuds."
Luke started again, annoyed by the smuggler, "We don't have to sit here and listen-" he started to get up but Obi-Wan pulled him back down.
Ahsoka leaned over to Luke and whispered very softly, "Patience, Luke. You will make Master Obi-Wan upset." Luke calmly sat in his chair now.
"We can pay you two thousand now plus fifteen when we reach Alderaan," Obi-Wan told Han.
Han Solo raised his eyebrows, "Seventeen, huh?" Obi-Wan nodded his head. "Okay. You guys got yourselves a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking Bay ninety-four."
"Ninety-four," Obi-Wan repeated.
Han looked over Luke's head, "Looks like somebody's beginning to take an interest in your handiwork." A group of storm troopers where now inside the bar and the bar tender pointed them in the right direction to find them. Before the stormtroopers took another step, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Luke all walked carefully out of the cantina and back into the streets of Mos Eisley.
