I just wanted to explain my intensionof this project, I know that the movie of the Ewoks was made before the ROTJ. But the movie was staged before the empire set the sheild generator on the moon. Meanwhile please keep sending me more of your responds, it helps to encourage me to continue my work. And not to be a spoiler to all of you but: If you think this is great wait until you read my project on the ROTJ.

(Skipping ahead of some of the scenes to the part where the Millennium Falcon hid inside the asteroid cave, Leia and Han just shared their first kiss and Luke crashed into the Dagobah System.)

Cindel tried her best to make contact to her grandfather on her communicator in the cockpit, but all she kept receiving were statics. "Noa, Noa can you hear me?" Cindel said while still holding down the button. "Any luck reaching your grandfather?" Leia asked as she walked in with a face full of flusters. "No, How about the ship? Has Cap. Solo been able to fix it?" Cindel asked as she placed her communicator on the tash board. "No" Leia sighed frustratingly "How does someone have so much faith in something so incompetent" she added. Cindel could sense there was something bothering Leia but figured she wasn't going to reveal it to her. She has always sensed the attraction between Han and Leia even when they quarrel. "Perhaps it is all about faith" Cindel responded calmly she relaxed in her seat. Leia sighed then gave Cindel a smile "I am sorry you haven't made it to your grandfather" Leia said sadly. "It's not your fault anymore then it is Cap. Solo's" Cindel said "I will be with him soon enough and he will be fine" she added then yawned. Leia noticed Cindel's exhaustion as she relaxed her face on her hand, Cindel sat back with her arms crossed. "You should get some rest" Leia recommended out of concern "Yes, but I don't want to be kept away from whatever I can help out with" Cindel replied. "I will let you know, now rest. That's an order" Leia said while smiling, Cindel was touched by the concern and caring of Leia. "Yes ma'am" she responded then rose from her seat and headed to the lounge room. But just before she was about to walk out the auto door Cindel suddenly wondered about Luke's safety. "Have you been receiving any contact from Commander Skywalker?" she asked with her hands twined together in front of her. "No, he seemed to be out of reach" Leia explained while looking up at her, Cindel bowed her head in sadness. "Don't worry Cindel, Luke will be fine" Leia assured her with a hand on both of hers. "Thank you" Cindel said with a smile on her face then turned and walked out of the cockpit.

Cindel found the bunk rooms that was just next door to the cockpit, she released her long blond hair from the bun that was on the back of her head. She grabbed a handle on the wall and pulled open a bunk for her to rest on, she left the over comlink and next to her on the bed just in case her grandfather tried to reach her. Cindel laid on her side with her hands under her head, her eyes were heavy with drowsiness. But she kept thinking about her grandfather and Luke whom she had come to care for the more she thought about him. Her eyes closed and started to dream that her grandfather was safe along with Luke, but she was soon startled by Leia's scream coming from the cockpit. Cindel sat up quickly in surprised then jumped off her bunk. Cindel ran barefooted to cabin just in time to hear Leia tell Han while panting "There's something out there". Han quickly removes his goggles and looks at her confused "Where?" he asked "Outside, in the cave" Leia replied. Suddenly everyone heard sharp banging on the hull "There it is listen, listen" 3PO exclaimed in a panicking voice. Han tossed his goggles aside and walked past Leia "I'm going out there" he said as he grabbed a breathing mask. "Are you crazy!" Leia asked loudly and in a panic "I just got this bucket back together. I am not going to let something tear it apart" Han said as he walked toward the exist. Leia groaned then replied that she was going with him, Chewie whimpered that he was coming too and followed Leia. Cindel realized there were only three breathing mask so she decided to remain inside with 3PO.

Cindel rushed to the communicator cockpit and placed ear phones over her ears so that she would hear what Han and Leia are saying outside. "This ground sure feels strange. It doesn't feels like rocks at all", Cindel heard the sounds of her foot steps and Han along with Chewie.

"There's an awful lot of moisture here"

"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this"

"Yeah"

For the next five seconds Cindel heard silence then the sounds of animal screeching and Han shouting "Watch out!". Every noise startled her badly that she pulled off her ear phones and ran to the window. She could still hear the crew from the phones on the floor where she tossed them. "It's alright! It's alright, yeah that's what I thought. Mynocks. Chewie check the rest of the ship make sure there aren't any more attached. Chewing on the power cable."

"Mynocks?"

"Go on inside. We'll clean them off if there are anymore"

Cindel was relief to hear that Leia would come back inside the falcon but she suddenly heard Leia screaming, the mynocks screeching and Chewie roaring. She ran to the next window where 3PO was screaming in fear and waving his hands at the mynocks screeching at the window. "AHH! Go away, go away beastly thing. SHOO! SHOO!" he shouted "Relax 3PO!" Cindel said with a hand the golden droid's shoulder. Suddenly in a fast moment everyone was startled by the sudden motion of the so called "cave" they were in. What made Cindel frighten was hearing a loud animal roar that wasn't Chewie, she has seen and heard monsters before but she prayed that it wasn't a monster. "Wait a minute" Han said calmly. Cindel heard Han's gun go off then the cavern began to move from side to side faster and longer. Cindelscreamed as she grabbed a hold of the a bar over her head as a way of holding herself. She held on as Han rushed back into the falcon "Alright Chewie let's get out of here!" he shouted while nearly dipping over on every side. "The empire is still out there. I don't think it is wise-" Leia objected loudly but Han cut her off. "No time to discuss this as a committee!" he shouted at her as he headed to the cockpit. "I am not a committee!" she responded loudly as she followed him. Cindel let go of her grasp and tried to follow Leia but the sound 3PO screaming while falling backwards made her turn around and aide him.

Han quickly switched on the ship and seated himself on the captain's seat "You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroids field" Leia said coming from behind him. "Sit down sweetheart we're taking off" Han replied as he quickly made take off with increasing speed. Cindel and 3PO rushed from behind every one "LOOK!" 3PO shouted and pointed in front of everyone. They saw a row of jagged white stalagmites surrounding the entrance and as they flew closer to the exist the smaller the exist became. "I see it, I see it" Han mentioned while still looking ahead "We're doomed!" the panicking droid said. "The cave is collapsing!" Leia added to the panic, but Han made it worst when he said: "This is no cave". Leia and Cindel said at the same time "What!" in fear. When they saw the giant teethes disappeared from the view of the window Cindel rushed to the window in the back to see the creature that nearly consumed them. " What is it!" Han asked Cindel over his shoulder "An asteroid worm!" she answered as she watched the worm trying to catch them with it's mouth but gave up and retreated back into it's cave. Cindel leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. Han glanced back to see Cindel's revilement "You look like you've never seen a monster in your life" he commented to her. "Not really, that was just the first time I was nearly eaten by one" she responded while recalling Gorax and the giant spiders.

(Skipping farther ahead, past the incident at the cave on the Dagobah System and the part where Han and Leia make the decision to head to Bespin.)

Through out the journey to Bespin, Cindel tried again to make contact with her grandfather but there still wasn't any luck. She dozed offon her seat at the cockpit, when Han saw her eyes closed he asked Chewie to carry her to the bunk rooms. She was awaken by Chewie againwith gently shaking ofher shoulder while making chuckles. Cindel wasn't startled by him at all"What is it now?" she askedwhile yawning andsitting on the edge of her bunk. Chewie walked back to the cockpit before Cindel could get her answer. Luckily 3PO stepped in "I am terribly sorry for the intrusion miss Towani" he said as he walked to her. "It's alright 3PO" Cindel responded while stretching her arms over her head. "What is it?" she added as she stood onto her feet. "He says that we have arrived" the droid explained. Cindel was confused at first then she remembered Han telling her where they were heading. She and 3PO walked to the cockpit to hear the intercom saying "Do you have a landing permit?" and Han answers him "No, I don't have a landing permit, I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian". She was startled by the flaks bursting outside the cockpit window and rattles the ship's interior, "Whoa! Wait a minute let me explain" Han pleaded loudly "You will not deviate from your present course" said the intercom. Han was beginning to feel embarrassed by everything "Rather touchy, are they?" 3PO asked as Cindel sat in her seat behind him. "I thought you knew this person" Leia asked curiously, she was now beginning to feel doubt about coming to Bespin in the first place. Chewie started attacking his boss with barks and growls. "Well, that was a long time ago. I'm sure he has forgotten about that" Han said in his defense, Cindel felt sorry for him which was why she remained silent. "Permission granted to land on Platform 327" they all finally heard, Han angrily thanks them then switches off the comlink. He then turned to the worried princess "There's nothing to worry about. We go way back, Lando and me" he said with an assuring smile "Who's worried?" Leia asked sarcastically.

As the Millennium Falcon landed onto the platform Leia felt unease about the whole thing. "Oh no one to meet us" 3PO commented calmly as every walked onto the platform. "I don't like this" Leia said in a very nervous voice "Well what would you like?" Han asked in a humorous voice. "Well they did let us land" 3PO commented but even that didn't put Leia at ease. "And they obviously are being threaten by the Empire too, so they had show aggression" Cindel added. "Now, you hear that? Kiddo here understands" Han said with his arm around her shoulder, suddenly they heard the door open. Leia still wasn't changing her attitude at Han "Look, don't worry. Everything is going to be fine, trust me" Han said staring at Leia. "See, my friend" Han said with confidants in his voice then he walked up to the black man with a cape on his back that was walking in to in the front. Cindel heard Han whispering to Chewie "Keep your eyes open, okay?", she never doubted strangers on first impressions so she remained optimistic.

"Hey!" Han said with his arms spread open thinking he was going to get a greeting hug but the stranger stood ten feet away from Han and shook his head. "Why you slimy-double-crossing-no-good-swindler, you've got a lot of guts to come back here after what you pulled" the black man said in an angry voice, he almost sounded like he was betrayed. Han only stood his ground with a smile on his face with his fingers pointing at himself, a second passed before the black man grabbed Han and brought him into a hug while laugh. "How you doing you old pirate so good to see ya" he said with a bright smile on his face, Cindel and 3PO were relived to see their stranger behave so kind. "Well he seems very friendly" 3PO said while glancing at Leia and Cindel. "Yes,..very friendly" Leia responded but still wasn't convinced that the man was legitimate. Cindel liked his smile so much that she showed no fear or doubt toward him."What are you doing here?" he asked Han "Ahh,. Repairs, I thought you could help me out" Han explained. Han's friend suddenly changed his expression when he mockingly asked "What have you done to my ship?". Han played along with the joke "Your ship? Hey! Remember you lost her to me fir and square" he responded. The stranger saw Chewie walking toward Han "And how you doing there Chewbacca? You still hanging around with this loser?" he asked mockingly again, Chewie grunted softly. Leia and Cindel appeared from behind Chewie with caution "Hello, what have we here?" he said with a flirtatious smile that he was laying on the two women. "Welcome I'm Lando Calrissian, I'm the administrator of this facility and who might you be?" he introduced himself and then asked. "Leia" was all the princess expressed in a polite tone with a small smile "Welcome, Leia" Lando said then gently kissed her hand. Lando then turned to Cindel "Oh wow! And now who might you be?" he asked in the same flirtatious smile he gave to Leia. "Hello, I'm Cindel Towani" she responded after giving a shy and quiet laugh. "Then welcome to you too, Miss Cindel" Lando said with a kiss on her hand as well. "So Han which one of these lovely ladies are yours?" he asked looking at Han. "Sorry pal neither one of them are available to you, you old smoothie" Han said as he took both women in both of his arms and lead them to the opened doors.

3PO introduced himself to Lando with a hand shake and as usual he wasn't able to finish his introduction because Lando followed Han, Leia and Cindel. "What's wrong with the Falcon?" Lando finally asked with concern. While Han and Lando were conversing about themselves Cindel just kept her attention on everything that she was walking past by, she has never traveled much in her life at least not since leaving Endor. She was blown away by the idea of a city above the clouds, she then started to wish that Noa could see everything that she was seeing then suddenly thought about trying to reach him again. "Excuse me" Cindel asked as she rushed up between Han and Lando "I was wondering about your communication system, I need to make contact with my grandfather" Cindel asked Lando. "Her only family, he had a heart attack while escaping the base on Hoth" Han explained with a hand on her shoulder from behind "She hasn't had much luck" he added. Lando turned to his silent assistant and signaled his hand to him "Take her to the Contact Tower" he ordered, the assistant bowed to Lando then gestured to Cindel to follow him. "Thank you very much" Cindel said with a smile to him "Your very welcome" Lando replied as she walked past him.

Cindel followed her quiet escort down the windowed hallways and up the elevators, on the way there; Cindel couldn't help but be dazzled by the scenery around her. The last elevator ride was to the top of the Contact Tower, the room was isolated and it was in the shape of a giant circle. Cindel realized that it was a holographic messenger, nonetheless she wasted no opportunity to reach her grandfather. Cindel's escort switched a lot of switches and pushed a lot of buttons. Then pointed her to go to the center of the room, Cindel did what he asked. "Grandfather, I am safe with Princess Leia and Cap. Solo. We are in the mining colony in the Bespin system getting the Millennium Falcon fix. I hope you are doing alright, please stay well until we get the hyperdrive on the Falcon fix then we will be at the rendevous point, I love you grandfather."

Cindel turned to tell her escort that she was finished with her message, he switched off the holograph light. "Thank you" Cindel said as she stepped out of the center, the silent escort lead her back to the elevator. In the elevator as it was going down, Cindel wondered about Leia and the hope that she open up to Lando. "I hope Commander Skywalker finds us here" Cindel said to the escort even though she knew she wasn't going to get any respond from him but she didn't like ignoring people. When the elevators opened up before the both of them; Cindel was startled to stand in the sight of Darth Vader with Boba Fett standing next to him and some storm troppers behind them. "I hope he does too" he said in that sinister voice with his arms crossed over his chest. "I wouldn't want him to miss his departing ship to the empire" he added. Cindel's heart pound hard and fast with fear, this was the first time she was in the presences of the dark lord. "Don't bother screaming for help" Vader explained looking down at her, Cindel stared up at him with fear in her eyes. "Miss Cindel Towani is it?" he then asked, Cindel's eyes filled with tears as she drew the conclusion that Lando has betrayed her and her friends. She bowed her head and nodded to Vader "Show some cooperation and you just might leave to see your grandfather again" Vader said then extended his hand to her.

Cindel stepped back in fear "I merely wish to accompany you to the dining hall where we will await for the princess, Cap. Solo and the wookie" Vader explained with his hand still waiting for her. Cindel's tears fell down her cheek as she slowly slipped her small hand into his giant black hands, Vader gently pulled her out of the elevator. Vader and Cindel walked in silent down the hallway, Cindel could stop her tears from falling and the presences of Vader wasn't more tolerating then the bounty hunter that was scanning every inch of her from behind. Vader could sense her heart still beating in fear and her trembling hand in his told him that she was afraid. "You have nothing to fear, the empire has no plans for you" he said to try and break the silence. "I am not afraid" Cindel said without looking up at him, Vader was surprised "Good, it will be easy for me" he said. "I had a wife exactly like you. The face of an innocent angel with the spirit of a courage" Vader explained looking straight ahead. Cindel was stunned to think that he had a wife, she looked up at him with amazement. "Yes, my beautiful Padme" Vader said to satisfy Cindel's amazement "I never would love any other soul in the galaxy but her" he added with the sense of sadness. Cindel was gazed at Vader and suddenly her fears toward him disappeared and was replaced with pity. Suddenly in a split second Vader stopped and turned her to face him "Don't pity me young one!" Vader commanded with both hands griping on both of her arms. Cindel was frighten at the realization that Vader read her mind. "No shred of pity could have saved my mother, my wife, and my..." Vader suddenly hesitated at the sight of Cindel's tears. "My soul" he said to end his statement, they continued down the hall in silence again. "Have no fear over your life miss Towani, it is Commander Skywalker that I am here for" Vader explained to satisfied her curious mind. "Then want do you want with Leia, Han, Chewie and me?" Cindel asked without fear of provoking him "All your questions will be answered in time" Vader answered calmly. Cindel's thoughts were uncleared by Vader's answers, but she tried not to press on the matter and she prayed for all her friends.
