Jedi Stories: episode #29 Life on Tatooine
Since Maurders aren't so bright, they didn't know the true meaning of the message of Dyrnwyn. Only the man Mr. Orange Idiot had shot & killed only two months before, knew the true meaning. As you will see, dire consequences will result! (Probably review from episode 17)
Now Lowdun and
his wife have been married about a year and a half. Lowdun's arm had healed fine. They had been living in the apartments in Mos Espa. Mary got pregnant and is now about to have
the kid. Lowdun is looking into moving
from Mos Espa (where they originally settled on Tatooine) to establish a claim
to start a moisture farm. Lowdun looks
at his boss, Mr. Calrissian.
"Mr. Calrissian, mind if I ask you something…"
"Sure, what about?"
"Do you know much about
moisture farming?"
"Hmmm. What do you
mean?"
"You know, when people
take moisture from the air and it turns into water in those machines. They also raise plants. I've heard it done before on desert planets
like this."
Mr. Calrissian says,
"Sure…I suppose you could try it. You're thinking about starting a farm yourself, aren't you?"
Yes, sir, I am."
"Well, guess you'll need a vaporator. I can supply you with one."
"Sure and I'll repay
you, you can count on it!"
That very afternoon,
Lowdun took the vaporator given to him and set out across the steaming hot
desert with his wife. Tatooine has two
suns, so it's extra warm. Mary saw a
piece of land she liked. Lowdun agreed
with her to settle there after testing the moisture level. Surprisingly, it was very high. Lowdun saw some Jawas nearby and asked them
for help at making a house. The Jawa
happily agreed. The Skywalkers (Lowdun
and Mary) did not know that they were not alone out in the desert…far across it
was another house. We will speak of
that later. They had that house built
within 3 hours. Late into the
afternoon, Mary gave birth to a baby boy. They named him Summoner. They
named him this because his father (Lowdun) had been the Summoner of Clay Hill
back on Mos Espa. Lowdun had laughed
when he heard the title because of Mary's joke earlier. He was Tatooine's contact person with the
Planet of Clay Hill. He had held the
job well and had occasionally come into contact with Brax Corta. Lowdun and Mary were very happy with their
life and with their only child so far. In the next couple of years, Lowdun's farm prospered. He had many vaporators that produced large
amounts of water. Lowdun's wife was
again pregnant and they had another boy that they named Brax. Of course, to honor Frey, the name Brax was
chosen. Brax being after Frey Corta's
Brax. Brax is a year younger than
Summoner. They ran into a couple Bantha problems, but nothing too major. Some more farmers moved close to
Lowdun. Lowdun called his establishment
Anchorhead. One day, as Lowdun was
going about his work…a visitor stopped by. He was a stranger to Lowdun; he'd never seen the man before in his life.
Until next time!
