Sadly, I have no disclaimer for this chapter. I apologize. Really, I do.
"All I need to know, Obi-Wan, is did we lose them?"
"I think we both know the answer to that, Adi."
Yoda shook his head. "Quote Halo, you should not, for a Star Wars story, this is."
Obi-Wan stared at him. "We were quoting Halo?"
They sat in the cockpit to the Millennium Falcon. Yoda, in his booster seat, piloted the craft, while Adi did the navigations and Obi-Wan gawked at all the pretty buttons. Stars streaked by them, the effects of hyperspace. Adi looked over her shoulder. "Hey, Mace is gone."
"Really, Adi, who is this Mace guy you keep talking about?"
"Oh, just shut up."
At that moment Mace walked into the cockpit. "Hey, guys."
"Oh, hey, Mace." Adi turned back to the controls. "What took you so long?"
"I drank all of my 5000 lattes, and, well, it's very hard to go to the bathroom on a toilet made for Yoda."
Yoda chuckled. "Install that toilet, I did, for think that no one besides my girlfriend and I would fly, I did."
Mace looked at him. "Girlfriend? You have a girlfriend?"
"Yes, the love of my life, she is." He pointed at a picture taped to the wall. "Yaddle. Love her, I do."
"But
she hates you."
"Warm up to me yet, she has not, but time,
relationships take."
"You've known each other for nine hundred years. Don't you think if she was ever going to love you she'd have done it by now?"
"Oh, eat pie, you should, Mace."
"Well, I do love pie."
Adi
glanced over at Yoda. "So, Yoda, how did you convince Han to give
you his ship?"
"Ah, not easy, it was, but find a way, I did."
"So in other words you stole it, huh?"
"A strong word, 'stole' is." Yoda focused on the controls. "Prefer 'borrowed,' I do."
"Steal is a point of view, Anakin."
They all wheeled to face Obi-Wan. Adi furrowed her brow. "Obi-Wan, what the heck are you talking about?"
"I have no idea. It just came out."
Adi looked out the viewpoint. "Better strap yourselves in. We're coming up on Tatooine."
Mace and Obi-Wan took their seats behind the two pilots. Yoda pulled on a lever. "Out of lightspeed, we come."
They entered normal space. A yellow planet rested before them. Adi nodded towards the world. "Tatooine. The planet's all one big desert."
"Well, duh, that's why it's yellow." Obi-Wan shrugged. "At least, I hope that's why it's yellow."
The Jedi have finally made it to Tatooine. But will they get far? Will the Sith stop them? And why is it that this chapter is less than 500 words? Tune in next time to find out!
