Owen and Beau Lars stand in their home over looking the young Luke. They look sadden knowing that he is not their true son, but treat him as one. They hope he will never know the truth about Anakin betrayal. Beau knows that someday Luke will need tol know, but Owen is againest it. He stands firm about hiding the truth from Luke, but right now as the suns set under the horizon and the desert storms cool down as night covers Tatooine. Beau lays little Luke in his wooden bed and dim the lights.
Owen: "He must never find out Beau. It just isnt right. He is too innocent and Anakin...Anakin he held everything that so close to him and now its all gone. Damn'ed Anakin Skywalker! He should never have left!"
Beau: "Oh Owen, take it easy you can't blame yourself. You'll be sick again. Lets just focus on Luke now, raise him as our own. He will never be you Owen. And lets hope he will never be like Anakin. He will be his own person, with his own beliefs, and Owen you know that someday he will have to know. If we dont tell him he will find out the hard way, by Ben or even him."
Owen: "He wont find out Beau. And I dont want Ben in his life, he is just a crazy man that believes that he is that Jedi thing. He will try to make Luke believe in it too. Beau,...I just dont know anymore. Luke is so innocent. He doesnt deserve to know, its just..."
Beau: "I know, you took to Shmi as a mother too."
Owen: "NO!...I mean no, its not that. Its that, Luke. Luke shouldnt be involved in anything to do with this new goverenment. No blasters, or ships, no high tech robots. No phony ancient beliefs. Nothing. He will stay here on the homestead with us. I wont let him get involved, I wont!"
Beau: "You cant control him Owen. I believe that Luke will make the right choice when he is given it. I just know it.Whether the right choice be what you want or not..."
Owen: "Luke will choose my choice. He will have no other choice. I dont care how old he gets. He will be a farmer, like his father before him"
Beau: "Owen! How selfess of you, Anakin was not a farmer, and neither will Luke. I cant see it already, the way he approaches things. He likes adventure, I can see that he will be something great. Its just in his blood. You can not control his destiny, if the prophecy is true like Ben talks about, Luke will have to leave someday. If he doesnt we will always live in shadow and fear. Our beliefs will not matter anymore."
Owen: "How can you believe that fool Beau. He speaks like a crazy man. Beau, control yourself, listen to what you say. You speak of destiny and prophecy like it exists. How can you believe in this, its for crazy people. Life is what it is because it is."
Beau:" Oh Owen, LISTEN TO YOURSELF! You say that life is like it is because it is. Well what if there is a greater meaning ti life. Maybe Ben is right when he speaks of Luke like that. Why else would they have hid him from Anakin? Why would there be so much care for Luke, why didnt they just send him somewhere else and be done with it? Because they knew that we would guide Luke to the light and not with hold him from the truth. Anakin would not have wanted this and neither do I."
Owen: "Beau I care for him as a son, I hope you do too. How would you feel if he went off into space with the knowledge that Darth Vader was his father? How would he take it, he might never forgive us Beau. Thats why he must never find out! He will stay here and grow up here. Nothing will happen he wont be a fighter or a pilot, its not healthy for him."
Beau: "Owen you speak so much of Lukes future, you never think of yourself. All this stress will eventually come back to haunt you, I dont want to see that day Owen. Now go to bed, I'll be there in a second."
Beau Lars looks outside as she sensed someone looking in. No one was at the window, and no one was at the door. She walked outside and a hand lands on her shoulder.
Figure: "Beau, Shhhh! He tried talking to me earlier. He tried to kill me, Beau I dont know what happened. he went berserk and made a Force hold on me."
Beau: "Oh Ben, I thought you would never come. Owen is acting crazy, he is trying to keep Luke hidden from the real truth of his father and you. Please Ben someday tell Luke the truth."
Ben Kenobi: "I promise Beau, I promise you that Luke will someday know about his father but until that day try to go Owens route. I can feel what you feel inside, The Force flows through you too Beau. Maybe someday I can train you. But Jedi can not know love, so dont fall for false apprentinces about me Beau."
Beau: "Oh Ben dont be a fool, and I have to go now. Owen will start to worry about me. See you tomorrow okay?"
Ben Kenobi: "Okay Beau, goodnight"
Beau: "Actually before you go, can you tell me where you are sleeping tonight, and dont tell me that sand hut up on the hill. I wouldnt be a good person if I allowed that."
Ben Kenobi: "Actually yes, that is my home. I sleep there...
Beau: "Before you say another word, here, sleep in my house tonight. It would only be right. You can sleep in Lukes room, and dont agrue its the least I could do."
Ben Kenobi follows Beau into the homestead and follows her into Lukes room. She sets up a mechanical bed that unfolds with the press of a button from the wall. As Beau leaves Kenobi acts like he is gettings settled. The door shuts and Kenobi stands up and looks into Lukes bed. He is sound asleep and Kenobi gives a smile as he knows that he is looking at the future of the Fallen Jedi. Kenobi lays down in his bed and falls alseep.
