Hey everybird! What's up!?

So I got to see the first episode of the Mandalorian, as well as the live action remake of Lady and the Tramp! And well the live action Lady and the Tramp was very beautiful, cute, and sweet, made me cry at some parts! And that spaghetti kiss scene… Oh my heart!

Anyway, on to today's question…

How did you enjoy the first episode of The Mandalorian? (If you did see it that is.

Me: (And SPOILER ALERT!) It was super good, I was right away attracted to the main character, which is the Mandalorian of course, he's super efficient at his job and yet he's also compassionate at the same time, especially when fighting alongside that droid. And well that ending… A tiny Yoda! Okay well not Yoda himself, but one of his kind, which is so surprising, because so far we only know that Yoda is a one of a kind, but apparently not!

And moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "Do you think that JJ Abrams might uses George Lucas's original return of the Jedi ending for the Rise of Skywalker?"

Me: Well I don't know what the original ending was, but if that means it's different from the official ending of Return of the Jedi, than sure.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "When they announced the Mandalorian series, what did you first think it was going to be about?"

Me: Honestly, at first I thought it was going to be about Sabine from Star Wars: Rebels and following up on her stories after the original trilogy, like maybe her journeys to find where Erza ended up, or where she stands on the whole Resistance vs First Order situation in the galaxy.

From Stormknight089, he asks, "what do you think if Blu, Jewel, and their family and friends were reading your stories?"

Me: Well it depends what exactly they're reading, for example if they did read the sequel to Blu in Brazil, Jewel in Minnesota, I think they would be surprised at how different they could be with their personalties switched with each other and how it affects the story than how the movie showed it.

Chapter 46: Changes in Leadership

(Tyler's POV)

Going from wrecked X-Wing to X-Wing, I looked into each cockpit, to find it either empty or with a dead pilot inside, some faces I recognized as, if their eyes were open. I made sure to close them as I stayed a few seconds to silently mourn as I could up my search, Ashley right besides me looking as well. I was starting to lose hope when I heard some soft pain sounds coming from somewhere, with renewed hope I rushed my way as quickly as I could to the source of the sounds. And as I arrived, it wasn't Arthur, but one of the hangar crews who serviced and took care of the fighters, but maybe he knew where Arthur was.

"Easy there buddy, Captain Tyler of Blue Squadron." I said as I revealed myself and came to the bird. "How hurt are you?"

"Badly sir, I can't move without help." The bird told me as I needed to find Arthur, but I couldn't leave this guy behind.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll get you out of here, but first tell me, have you seen where Commander Arthur is?" I asked.

"Actually yes sir, he was in his fighter last time I saw him before everything blew up, I was very close to where his fighter was parked, it's somewhere behind me." The bird answered.

"Okay, hang on." I said as I looked around for something to help the bird walk, I spied a tall enough metal bar, taking it as I then took some of the soft fabric and material out from a seat from one of the empty wrecked fighters, putting the soft material on one end of the metal bar before handing it to the injured bird. "Here you go, this should be good enough until we get out of here."

"Thank you sir." The bird thanked me before I nodded and started my search again for Arthur, calling out his name as well as Alex's. "Arthur! Alex!" I shouted out, coughing as I inhaled the smoke blowing from the flames as I called out their names.

Although Arthur couldn't hear me, Alex must have because I heard some beeps in response and they weren't coming from Ashley because she was right behind me.

"Alex, keep beeping!" I shouted out as Alex did keep up the constant beeps, as I followed the sound until I finally found Arthur's fighter, all wrecked and a twisted mess, making this the second fighter Arthur lost…

"What took you so long?" Arthur said weakly as he coughed in pain while laying down on his seat, obviously too hurt to come out himself.

"That's not funny…" I rolled my eyes as I came up besides my brother to help him out. "How bad is it?" I asked seriously on his condition.

"I think my back's broken, can't feel much, and a little lightheaded probably from losing some blood." Arthur said as I carefully held onto him.

"Okay brother, I know you're hurt, but you got to hang in there and try your best to do this, ready?" I asked.

"As I'll ever be." Arthur replied as I counted down from three before I lifted my brother up from the cockpit, Arthur trying his best as he used his wings to lift himself using the sides of the fighter to do so.

After much effort, I finally managed to get Arthur out of the cockpit as Arthur let out a slight pained cry, holding onto his stomach with one of his wings as he almost fell down, needing to catch him before he did so completely.

"You alright brother?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, lets get out of here." He said as I made sure I was holding onto him tightly before turning to the injured bird I helped before.

"You alright if you can walk yourself with that?" I asked the crew member.

"Yes sir, I can do it." The bird answered as I nodded before turning to Alex and Ashley, Alex having gotten down from his socket himself by using his small thrusters he had on his droid legs.

"Alex, Ashley, you stay with this bird in the back, make sure he's alright and alert me if something's wrong." I ordered the two as they beeped back to acknowledge it.

With one of my brother's wings over me as I held onto him and Arthur trying his best to walk through the intense pain he was feeling, we all eventually arrived at the closed hangar door, Ashley plugging in as she managed to get the door open, finally out from the destroyed hangar as I was too tired to keep going.

"Medic, I need a medic!" I called out as several soldiers came running to me to help me, a couple of them taking Arthur from me while two more attended to the other injured bird I managed to get out.

"Get some stretchers over here!" One of the soldiers called out as a few of the medical personal came in as they put the two injured birds on stretchers to carry them out and take them to the sick bay.

"Looks like we're even now." I smiled as Arthur was laid on a stretcher.

"I guess so, looks like I'm going to have to save you again in the future." Arthur joked before coughing a little from the pain.

"Focus on that later, you just get through this brother." I told him before the medics carried him away as another familiar bird came running up behind me.

"Captain, are you alright!?" The voice asked me as I turned to see Grandpa Blu.

"Yes sir, still in one piece." I replied as I saluted.

"You should have waited captain, I was just going to have rescue teams sent into the hangar." Grandpa Blu told me, but not sternly.

"Sorry sir, but you know I couldn't wait." I said.

"Walk with me captain." Grandpa Blu said as we turned around, joining him by his side. "How's Arthur?"

"Very injured sir, but alive thankfully, he just needs time to recover and than he'll be alright." I reported.

"Good, because we're going to need as many leaders as possible now." Grandpa Blu replied with a deep tone.

"Something wrong sir?" I asked.

"All of our top leadership is very nearly gone… Most of the officers who were present on the bridge, even Admiral Ackbar, are dead when a group of TIEs took a shot at the bridge, opening it to the vacuum of space. General Organa was the only survivor, how… I simply cannot explain… But she's in sick bay as well." Grandpa Blu addressed. "I was lucky to have left the bridge, I left when word got there that the hangar was hit and ran to see if you boys were alright."

"So what does this mean now sir?" I asked, curious to know.

"A shuttle from one of the escort ships has arrived in one of the smaller hangars bringing our new top leader here, there will shortly be a meeting along the remaining commanders and officers on the secondary bridge to discuss our next moves." Grandpa Blu answered. "And that reminds me captain… With Poe being demoted and Arthur in sick bay, I'm making you the top flight leader, and promoting you to commander until Arthur is back on his talons."

"Thank you sir…" I said, not sure if I should really be thankful or concerned, as I saluted to Grandpa Blu.

"Good luck Commander Tyler, you're going to need it." Grandpa Blu replied as soon enough arrived at the secondary bridge, where others were gathered to see who was in charge now and what are next moves were.

I sat down next to Poe as he was surprised to see me in one piece.

"Tyler, you got out." Poe said, relieved.

"Yeah, managed to get Arthur and someone else out." I replied.

"How's Arthur?" Poe asked next.

"Injured for now, but he'll be alright." I answered. "Colonel Blu has promoted me to commander and made me the top flight leader, since Arthur is down for the count and well… Your demotion."

"Well, I still consider myself commander, but at least I know the pilots are in good wings with you." Poe smiling confidently as the meeting began, with one of the few surviving top officers speaking up as everyone grew quiet.

"General Organa… Leia… Is unconscious but recovering. That's the only good news I have." The officer trying very hard to stay focused. "Admiral Ackbar, all our leadership, they're gone."

Everyone started quietly chatting to each other on this shocking pieces of news, clearly not having known about what happened yet as the officer continued.

"Leia was the sole survivor on the bridge." The officer confirmed.

"Oh dear, oh dear." The general's golden droid, C-3PO, shook his head.

"If she were here, she'd say save your sorrow for after the fight." The officer taking a deep breath before finishing up. "To that end… The chain of command is clear as to who should take her place. Vice Admiral Holdo of the cruiser Ninka." The officer stepping down as a new bird, wearing gray colored clothes and having purple feathers took the stage.

"Thank you commander." Holdo told the officer who first spoke as she got up. "400 of us on three ships. We're the very last of the Resistance. But we're not alone.

The vice admiral letting the bad news sink in first before getting to the "better" part.

"In every corner of the galaxy the downtrodden and oppressed know our symbol and they put their hope in it." The vice admiral reminding us we weren't entirely alone. "We are the spark that will light the fire that will restore the Republic. That spark… This Resistance, must survive. That is our mission. Now, to your stations. And may the Force be with us." The vice admiral finishing as many began to leave to get back to their places as Poe began talking to one of his pilots that was sitting on his other side from me.

"That's Admiral Holdo…" Poe clearly not impressed. "Battle of Chyron Belt Admiral Holdo."

Poe not sure as the pilot shrugged his shoulders and said something in his native tongue.

"Not what I expected." Poe said as he got up and walked to the vice admiral while I sat up, watching as Poe went to speak to our new leader, and well as I watched it didn't look like a very good conversation, I had a funny feeling that Poe would do something crazy, just like with his dreadnought attack plan, but I wasn't concerned at the moment with that…

I went to go see Arthur in the medical area of the cruiser to catch him up on everything, but mostly to see how he was doing and if he was going to really be okay…

And there we go! If you're wondering who's side Tyler is going to take between Poe and Holdo, well it's probably an easy guess, but I'm not saying anything!

Also, I was actually considering that Blu would also be along those who perished when the bridge was blown up, but I did end up deciding against it… Arthur and Tyler already lost their parents and Tyler lost Tally, so I didn't want to make them go through Blu's death as well.

And with that…

See everybird later!
