Hey everybird! What's up!?

So Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order came out and let me just say, from all the videos I been watching on it on Youtube, it's insane! Such a perfect Star Wars game, everything one could ever want! I mean… Playing as a Jedi… What else beats that!

Anyway, on to today's question…

How would you feel if Lucasfilms announced after Rise of Skywalker comes out, that a new trilogy of films about the Old Republic period was in the works?

Me: Oh hell yes! Watching the cinematics for the Old Republic video game, I always wondered why they couldn't take those events and concepts and turn it into full length films, of course with real action and not the animation style that the cinematics had.

Moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "what do you think of that epic standoff between The Mandalorian and the Stormtroopers?"

Me: Well if you're referring to that scene where the Mandalorian was like, "I like those odds", I will say this… Han Solo would be proud! (Or feel a disturbance in the Force…)

From Stormknight089, he asks, "Do you have any bright ideas?

Me: Well if you're referring to your statement above… Throwing him down the Death Star's shaft looks like it didn't work… So I suggest throwing him in the sarlacc pit.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "Can you think of any Disney Villain that Fluttershy would dislike the most?"

Me: Well if you're referring to Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians, than yes I would agree with that, I would also go with Scar from the Lion King.

Chapter 47: Choosing His Side

(Tyler's POV)

Leaving the bridge area I walked back to the cruiser's medical area where Arthur was recovering nicely, laying down in bed after a short bacta treatment healed up his wounds. It was good to see he was still in one piece after surviving the hangar explosion, he was lucky. I sat down on a chair next to the bed, ready to catch up Arthur on the news thus far.

"Good to see you're recovering already brother." I smiled as Arthur smiled back.

"Thanks to you." Arthur replied. "Still, what you did was crazy."

"I know, but sometimes we all need to do crazy stuff." I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, there's not a lot of good news, it's mostly bad…"

"How so?" Arthur asked.

"Well, the First Order targeted the bridge, killed everyone that was present there, including Admiral Ackbar, the general was the only survivor, how I don't know, but she's unconscious." I informed my brother. "Vice Admiral Holdo is in charge and Grandpa Blu promoted me to flight leader with you down and Poe being demoted, but there's hardly any pilots left after the hangar's destruction."

"Well, it's not like we would have any chance against such a massive fleet, with hundreds, probably thousands of TIE fighters…" Arthur sighed. "But hey I'm glad Grandpa Blu picked you, just don't do anything crazy until I'm back to normal and back in charge."

"No promises brother." I chuckled. "But it's not like we have much time left, last time I checked we have less than a day's fuel in the cruiser's hold and with the shields running at full strength to block the constant barrage of fire from that massive star destroyer, it's draining the reserves even faster."

I held my breath before delivering the most painful of news I had yet…

"Tally's also gone too…" I let out.

"Sorry brother, I knew how much she meant to you." Arthur comforted me. "She was a very good pilot and friend."

"I know, hard to believe she's gone, seems like one by one those we know just disappear…" I sighed as Arthur tried to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"So what is Admiral Holdo doing?" Arthur asked.

"For now, I don't know, I just hope she does have a plan and make it out of here and away from the First Order." I answered.

"Are you sure you're my brother…" Arthur joked. "The real Tyler would go looking for a fight, than run away from it."

"What can I say, I'm a flight leader now, need to start thinking like you." I smiled as I heard steps approach us.

"Boys." Grandpa Blu's voice spoke as I turned, Arthur and I saluting. "Arthur, it's good to see you alive still."

"And I'm glad to be so too sir." Arthur replied. "Tyler just caught me up with everything, you really gave him my position?"

"Temporary." Grandpa Blu said. "So just focus on getting better so I can rest easier with you in charge."

"Hey!" I said a little too loudly to the laughing of both Grandpa Blu and Arthur as my cheeks went red.

"Anyway, speaking of that, I do need to talk to you Tyler, alone." Grandpa Blu turning to me before excusing himself to Arthur. "Rest easy commander."

"Thank you sir." Arthur said as he laid more down while Grandpa Blu and I left, outside the medical area in the hallways of the ship.

"What is it sir?"I asked.

"I just came from the bridge, we have about a day's fuel left, the other two surviving ships from the initial attack have less." Grandpa Blu told me. "And for the time being, Admiral Holdo is sticking to our current course, and since the First Order can track us we can't jump into hyperspace."

"Sir, we have to do something, we can't just sit here and wait until we run out of fuel and made an easy target." I pointed out.

"I know, but we have to trust the admiral, she's in charge now and unless she says otherwise there's not much we can do, I'm sorry." Grandpa Blu expressing his apologies, I knew there wasn't much he could do, he had to listen to orders just as much as I had to. "Just promise me you wouldn't do something rash, we can't afford any confrontations along us too, it's bad enough we have a fleet chasing us."

"Fine, I'll try my best sir, but to be honest, I'm not making any solid promises." I crossed my wings.

"Fair enough commander, dismissed." Grandpa Blu raising his wing in a salute, returning it as Grandpa Blu left.

With nothing much to do, I went looking for Alex and Ashley, finding them as Alex beeped at me, asking if Arthur was alright, obviously very concerned about his new owner.

"Yes Alex, Arthur will be alright and up before you know." I reassured the droid. "In the meantime, Ashley, you're lead droid, so I'm expecting some more out of you girl, sorry Alex." I told Arthur's droid as Alex beeped rudely at me.

After finding the two droids, I decided there was nothing better to do than get a drink, relax for a bit and enjoy possibly my last day alive before I die. Going to the ship's rec room, where a bar was, I wobbled a bit and almost fell when particular shots from the star destroyers hit close by, the energy being absorbed by the shields of the cruiser, constantly reminding me we were basically prey running desperately away from lots of predators.

Getting to the rec room, I saw others, very beaten and had looks of defeat on their faces, not that I blamed them, this was a very bad situation. I took a seat by the bar, ordered a strong drink as I then poured myself a shot from the glass, downing it in one go before pouring another.

"Got room for one more?" A familiar voice asked me as I turned to see Poe, taking the seat next to me.

"Hey Poe…" I greeted my friend.

"Not so cheerful are you right now." Poe pointing out.

"Well, there's nothing to be cheerful about, sooner or later we'll all be dead." I sighed as I took my second shot.

"I wouldn't say that…" Poe spoke to me more quieter.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused by Poe's response, as he motioned for me to come closer to him, making sure no one else heard us.

"Listen, I just talked to one of my friends, Finn, and we have a plan to disable that tracker on the lead star destroyer so we can escape without the First Order knowing where we're going." Poe revealing. "As we speak they're preparing to leave for Canto Bight to find this master codebreaker to help us disable the tracker."

"And why are you telling me this?" I asked, confused why Poe would tell me this.

"Because I need help, we need to be ready to make the jump to hyperspace, but Admiral Holdo wouldn't approve of such a plan, I need to know that you're on my side Tyler." Poe asking me. "And keep in mind, if it comes to it, we do have to start a mutiny."

"Well, I guess it's better than doing nothing…" I replied. "Alright, I'm in."

"Good, for now we convince some others to join us and hang tight, keep quiet about this and wait for the right moment." Poe instructed me.

"Yes commander." I replied, giving Poe the title he originally had to let him know I was sure I would stand with him.

So that was it, I resigned myself to potentially being part of a mutiny, but it was for a good cause hopefully and if everything worked out, we could all escape the First Order, to live to fight another day and come back stronger. All we needed to do was sit tight and wait…

And so Tyler chose his side…

Sorry about the short length, this was a bit of a harder chapter to write, plus while writing I had my family disturbing me quite often so I couldn't really focus…

Hopefully next chapter is longer and better and with that…

See everybird later!
