Ok this chapter is going to be somewhat short. It will lead away from Luke and Han from a bit. But like I said, it's a short chapter.
Also I said that I had an idea for episode VIII but that would have had barely any Padmé and the characters wouldn't be in character. I'm sorry if I got any hopes up. So it's not going to be written.
Later –Ewok village…
Han, Luke, Chewie, Padmé and R2 were being "escorted" through the Ewok village.
The Ewoks were leading them to a small hut. But before they could get to there a small Ewok made it through the crowd to the head Ewok.
For a moment they conversed, occasionally pointing to Padmé. Then the head Ewok ordered the other Ewoks to release her.
"What's going on?" Luke asked Padmé who was being released.
"How should I know? I don't speak Ewok." Padmé said.
The small Ewok lead her away, as she shot Luke and Han a worried look.
Then the Ewok lead her to a female human. She almost looked like…
"Leia?" Padmé asked.
The woman turned around. It as a matter of fact was really Leia.
"Padmé?" Leia asked.
"Leia!"
The two girls embraced.
The drums started beating.
"Oh no!" Padmé said.
"What?" Leia asked.
"Well, first of all, your little friend's people seem to think 3PO is a god." Padmé said.
"Seriously?" Leia said laughing.
"Yeah. They also think the best way to honour him is a banquet." Padmé said.
"How nice." Leia said.
"You haven't heard the menu."
"What is it?"
"An appetizer of Chewbacca. Followed by the main course of Han and a side dish of Luke. If your friend hadn't saved me I would have been dessert."
"You're not serious." Leia said.
"Why would I lie about something like that?" Padmé asked.
They ran to the hut. They saw what was happening at the same moment the prisoners saw them.
"Mom!" Luke said.
"Leia!" Han said.
As they moved toward them, the Ewoks blocked their way with raised spears.
"Oh!" Padmé said backing up a bit.
"Your Royal Highness and Mistress Padmé." 3PO said.
R2 and Chewie chimed in with their welcome. Padmé looked at the assembled Ewoks and sighed.
"But these are my friends. 3PO, tell them they must be set free." Leia said.
3PO talked to Chirpa and Logray (Ewoks), who listened and shook their heads negatively. The Medicine Man gestured toward the prisoners and barked some orders. Several Ewoks jumped up and piled more wood on the barbecue with vigour. Leia traded frantic looks with Luke and Han.
"Somehow, I got the feeling that didn't help us very much." Han said.
Then Padmé turned to 3PO and said, "3PO, tell them if they don't do as you wish, you'll become angry and use your "magic". She turned to Luke when she said "magic".
"But Mistress Padmé, what magic? couldn't possibly…" 3PO started to say.
"Just tell them." Luke said.
3PO spoke to the Ewoks. The Ewoks were disturbed. Logray stepped forward and challenged 3PO. Luke closed his eyes and began to concentrate.
"You see, Mistress Padmé; they didn't believe me. Just..." 3PO started to say.
Then the litter/throne, with 3PO sitting upon it, raised from the ground. At first 3PO didn't notice and keeps talking.
"... as I said they wouldn't. Wha-wha-what's happening! Oh! Oh, dear! Oh!" 3PO said.
Of course we know what happened after that. So let's skip to when they are freed.
The Ewoks freed Luke, Chewie R2 and Han.
Han ran to Leia and Luke went to his mom.
Then Leia hugged Luke.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh! Thank goodness." 3PO said when he was back on the ground.
"Thanks, 3PO." Padmé said. The group of humans smiled knowing that the "magic" that 3PO preformed, was in reality one of Luke's force powers being preformed by Luke.
"I...I never knew I had it in me." 3PO said.
The humans (plus Chewie and R2) laughed.
Please remember, please remember me.
