I hope you enjoy this chapters; i wont be able to post chapters until february. However, rest assured. i am gonna finish this fanfiction even if it takes years. so on with the chapter.

"Whoa! Whoa! Grab me, Chewie! I'm slipping." Yells Han
Chewie grabs hold of Han's feet, holding him upside down, as Han extends the spear toward Lando, who is clutching to the side of the pit.
"Grab it! L-Lando. Grab!" Shouts Han

"Despite being blind, Han's attempt to save his friend is commendable" Says Shaak Ti.
"There is also the chance of Han getting pulled off as well due to lando's weight and Han being blind. Its mostly up to the wookie" states Depa Bilaba.

Luke finishes off the last guard on the second skiff. He sees the deck gun blasting away at his helpless companions. Luke leaps from the skiff, across a chasm of air, to the sheer metallic side of the Sail Barge. Barely able to get a fingerhold, he begins a painful climb up the hull, when suddenly an ax smashes through a window an inch from his head. With Jedi agility, Luke grasps the wrist holding the ax and yanks the helpless guard through the broken window and into the deadly pit.

"Young Luke has the agility of a Jedi, impressive." States Mace windu.
The entire Jedi council turns to look at him.

"Don't look at me like that, I give credit where it is due" sighs Mace windu.
"Well, I am honestly surprised that you complimented my son, despite you hating me and with this attachments and all" says Anakin.

"Don't push it sky walker, you are still not off the hook for marrying the senator. Also I don't hate you, I just don't trust you" Says Mace Windu.

Anakin sighs and turns back to the Holo.

The injured Chewie is reaching over the rail for the dangling Han, who is in turn blindly reaching down toward the desperate Lando. The Baron has stopped his slippage down the sandy slope of the Sarlacc pit by lying very still. Every time he tries to reach for Han, the loose sand moves him closer to his final reward./p

"Grab it! Almost... You almost got it!" says Han
Another blast hits the front of the tilted skiff, causing Lando to let go of the spear.

"Oh come on! I thought he is finally gonna get out of dangling" grumbled Ahsoka

"Hold it! Whoa!" Yells Lando
Again Han extends the spear toward Lando.

"Gently now. All... all right. Now easy, easy. Hold me, Chewie." Han yells back.

"This just can't get any worse" Says Anakin

Lando screams. One of the Sarlacc's tentacles has wrapped tightly around his ankle, dragging him down the side of the pit.
"Chewie! Chewie, give me the gun. Don't move, Lando." Yells Han

"You had to say that Anakin" Sighs Obi Wan.

"Come on master, even if I said nothing its just gonna happen" says Anakin

"No, wait! I thought you were blind!" yells Lando

"Oh great, I hope he won't shoot Lando." Says Shaak Ti.

"It's all right. Trust me. Don't move." Says Han
"All right! A little higher! Just a little higher!" Lando tries to help Han target the Sarlacc

Han adjusts his aim as Lando lowers his head, and the fuzzy-eyed pirate fires at the tentacle. Direct hit. The tentacle releases Lando, and Chewie starts to pull them on board the skiff.

"Wow! Han has a good aim" Says Ahsoka
Padme turns to Anakin "See Ani? This is why you shouldn't judge people, Han is a good man who is protective of his friends"
"Alright Padme, I get it" Grumbles Anakin "I am Sorry" He relents.

Ahsoka lets out a snicker but quickly stops herself when Anakin glared at him.
Luckily the rest of the jedi paying attention to the movie so they weren't concerned about them.

"Chewie, Pull us up! Come on! Okay... up, Chewie, up!" han yells to Chewie

Meanwhile in the upper deck,

The deck gunners have Chewie and the desperate dangling human chain in their gun sights when something up on deck commands their attention: Luke, standing before them like a pirate king, ignites his lightsaber. The deck gunners have barely reached for their pistols before the young Jedi has demolished them. Immediately, Luke turns to see two more gunners (who have been uncovering a giant gun at the end of the barge) racing for him, firing their laser pistols.

"Huh, like that's gonna stop Luke" thought Anakin.

Leia is struggling against her chains in desperation as Artoo zips through the tumult of confused monsters to the rescue; the stubby little droid extends a small laser gun and blasts the chain apart.
"Come on. We gotta get out of here quick." Says Leia

"Good Old Artoo always saves the day" Says Ahsoka
"Yep, that droid is one of a kind" Anakin Agrees remembering how many times Artoo has helped them in their missions.

Artoo and Leia race for the exit, passing C3PO, who is kicking and screaming as Salacious Crumb, the reptilian monkey- monster picks out one of the golden droid's eyes.

"Not my eyes! Artoo, help! Quickly, Artoo. Oh! Ohhh! You beast!" Shouts C3PO

"And then there is C3PO, who is more annoying than helpful" says Obi Wan.
"Well its built by a 9 year old, i think its pretty good for the age" Says Anakin.

Artoo zips over and zaps Salacious, sending him skyward with a scream, crashing into the rafters as Artoo, Leia, and Threepio (with his eye dangling from a wire) hurry off.

Luke is warding off laser blasts with his lightsaber, surrounded by guards and fighting like a demon. Leia emerges onto the deck as Luke turns to face another guard.

And that is all for this chapter, i will finish the Tatooine part in the next chapter which i plan on posting on 25th of december. Until next time Fellow Star wars fan. Normally i would say may the force be with you, but since its December Merry christmas Everyone!
