Jedi
Stories: episode #30 Moisture Farmers
and the Promise
He was a stranger to Lowdun; he'd
never seen the man before in his life. The man was Owen Kenobi. 4 years
later, would have a kid: Ben Kenobi. Owen still lived with that young Bantha, Bantha Sam. Bantha Sam proved to be a very good bantha
in the past couple of years. Owen was a
Jedi Knight…he just farmed on the side. Anyway, Jedi Knight Owen Kenobi had known that others had lived on the
other side of the desert. He heard it
from the summoning tower to Clay Hill, the Republic center on Mos Espa. He had decided to give a little time for the
others to get settled in. So, when he
came to the first house (the oldest one) (he could tell because it was more
weathered than the others.) A fairly young
man opened the door. It was Lowdun.
"Hello, fellow
farmer. I thought it best we moisture
farmers stick together. We should be
informed of each other in case something comes up…such as Bantha raids, the
Tusken Raider attacks (Sandpeople), or the Jawas. The Jawas are by far more friendlier than the rest."
Lowdun nodded.
"All right, I agree. The
farmers will keep in touch. Now if
you'll excuse me, I have to pay back an old friend. Feel free to stop in as often as you like!"
With that, Lowdun took off in his landspeeder towards Mos
Espa. Up until a couple of years ago,
Lowdun had been the Summoner of Clay Hill…he was to inform the Republic of
anything out of the ordinary. (Tatooine
was closely connected to Clay Hill). Lowdun had not been there in two years. He hoped Mr. Calrissian was still there. Lowdun told himself he would not return until he had enough
profit to pay back Mr. Calrissian. Lowdun went up to Mr. Calrissian's door (at least the last he knew it
was) and prayed. His prayers were
answered. Mr. Calrissian came to the
door with a broad smile.
Lowdun says, "I've come back and brought you my promise."
It was exactly the amount the first vaporator had cost.
Mr. Calrissian says, "I guess Lowdun Skywalker sure keeps his
promises."
Lowdun acknowledged that with a nod. Life on Tatooine went well for the moisture farmers for the next
18 years. Little incident happened.
