Hey everybird! What's up!?

So something big and not Star Wars related came out on Sunday… And that's the final trailer for the live action remake of Mulan! Which comes out March 27th! Oh how the waiting can be unbearable!

So today's question is…

Did you watch the trailer too and if you did, what did you think about it?

Me: I mean I was already so excited and hyped for when the movie does drop and well this trailer just elevated that feeling! There's not much to say, but there was one moment where I just went holy s*** and that was when Mulan was riding her horse and then she jumped from her moving horse to kick a throwing spear back, doing a backflip and managing to get back on her horse… Like what… How is that physically possible…

Anyway, moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "What do you think of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series being delayed due to script issues?

Me: Honestly it's not a big deal, we have the big finale of The Clone Wars to keep us occupied for some time and Obi-Wan is in there too, so it's not like we wouldn't see him until his series comes out.

From Stormknight089, he asks, "What was your first story like?"

Me: Well it was quite a mess to be honest, it was so unclear and confusing, not to mention totally bad… But hey you have to start somewhere and I only got better and better with each passing day, so it was a good, first step for me.

Chapter 60: Impatience

(Tyler's POV)

While Arthur and Alex were working on mom's old X-Wing, I decided to catch some rest, it wasn't like I could do anything else until Poe and the others got back. Climbing back up the ladder through one of the hatches of the Tantive IV, I walked through the ship's corridors to reach the barracks area, while going there I met Grandpa Blu.

"Captain." Grandpa Blu said to me as I stopped, saluting as I came to attention.

"Sir." I replied, holding the salute until Grandpa Blu returned it. "I was just on my way to get some rest, there's not much to do at this time sir."

"Go ahead captain, you're going to need all the rest." Grandpa Blu smiled as he then chuckled, having thought of something. "You know you remind me a lot of your parents, only resting when there was absolutely nothing for them to do, even when they had to really rest, they wanted to participate in the Battle of Jakku."

I remembered quite well, mom had Arthur and I in her and dad was still recovering from his injuries during the first battle of Crait. Of course such memories put a heavy weight on my heart as I smiled the best I could, but keeping my head slightly lowered.

"Thank you sir." I said as Grandpa Blu changed his tone.

"Just remember that your parents were the best pilots I have ever seen, always devoted to what they believed in and I'm happy you and Arthur are still here to make them proud." Grandpa Blu putting a wing on my shoulder as I lifted up my head to look into Grandpa Blu's sincere eyes. "Now don't let me keep you here captain, I'll see you later."

"Yes sir." I replied as Grandpa Blu and I went back to what we were currently going to do as I entered the barracks area in the old corvette, finding my bunk as I laid down, resting my head flat on the soft surface and closing my eyes, trying to fall asleep…

(Arthur's POV)

After doing my normal checkup on mom's X-Wing with Alex, I went to the comms station, where Grandpa Blu was, along with Poe's friend, Snap. Coming to the comms station, I gave a salute as I then spoke.

"Any word from Poe or the others on the Falcon sir?" I asked.

"None so far commander." Grandpa Blu answered. "Noticed you were checking up on your X-Wing, well your mother's formerly, you're just like her you know, your mother always took care of her X-Wing, made sure it was all ready for a moment's notice."

"Well, got to keep some part of her alive still." I replied as I took a seat. "I just hope it doesn't get damaged seriously when we do go into battle."

Before Grandpa Blu could reply back, something was coming up on comms, news of a raid on the festival of the ancestors on the desert planet of Pasaana, reports of first order troopers chasing resistance agents. As I listened in, I looked at Grandpa Blu and he must have thought I would do so as of course I was a little confused, not having heard of this before, but I guess it was Poe and the others.

"Commander Dameron reported in before he landed the Falcon down on the surface, that they arrived on Pasaana and were heading out to find the wayfinder." Grandpa Blu answering my unspoken question. "Seems like they ran into trouble… Snap." Grandpa Blu turning to Poe's friend.

"Yes sir." Snap replied.

"Report this to the general, she'll want to know about this." Grandpa Blu said.

"Right away sir." Snap said back as he left to find the general.

"What if Poe and the others don't make it sir and are captured by the First Order?" I asked.

"Well commander, than we're just going to have to find a way to deal with the Sith Fleet ourselves, but have faith, they'll make it back." Grandpa Blu trying to get some confidence in me.

However as the operators at the comm station tried to contact the Falcon, no response came back as there was nothing but static, we were all starting to worry as no answer from the Falcon meant that Poe and the others were captured or worse the Falcon was destroyed along with them. Hours passed by as we tried anything to contact those on the Falcon, hopeful they were still alive.

"Commander Dameron, Finn, anyone, please respond." An operator spoke through her headset as the general, along with Grandpa Blu, I, and a few others were gathered around as once again there was only static… "Nothing general, we can't reach them." The operator told the general as she gave a sigh.

"They're probably somewhere where comms don't work well." Grandpa Blu suggested. "Or they're keeping silent so the First Order can't track them."

"I hope you're right colonel…" The general tried to stay positive,, but I could tell the strain and stress was overwhelming the much older bird. "Keep trying."

"Yes general." The operator replied and got back to work as the general left as I put a wing to my chin and was in deep thought as Grandpa Blu spoke to me.

"If Poe and the others don't make it commander…" Grandpa Blu started, but I knew what he was going to say.

"I know sir… I'm in charge of the fighters…" I finished. "Not sure if I'm up to it…" I sighed as I went to get some water, to relax my dry throat.

It was some time and much tension until we finally got a response from Poe as the comms finally came alive, Poe's familiar voice sending relief to those listening in. And Poe's report gave us some renewed hope.

"Poe to base, reporting in, can anyone hear me?" Poe's voice spoke as Grandpa Blu spoke to one of the operators as the operator gave Grandpa Blu his headset.

"We copy Commander Dameron, we were all starting to get a little worried when the Falcon wasn't picking up." Grandpa Blu spoke.

"Well the group and I were separated from the Falcon for some time, ran into some trouble with the First Order, but we're back on track and on our way to Kef Bir." Poe reported.

I have never heard of Kef Bir and mom and dad have never gone there throughout the war, so I wondered why exactly Poe and the others were heading there. Grandpa Blu was thinking the same thing as he spoke back.

"What's there commander?" Grandpa Blu asked.

"The ruins of the second Death Star, the wayfinder is hidden somewhere inside, once we find it we'll return as fast as possible." Poe replied.

"Copy that commander, good luck." Grandpa Blu finished.

As time passed by, we got a few updates from Poe or Finn, the general there as well as we were updated on the situation, which apparently Poe had to crash the Falcon down on the ground without any landing gear, so they not only had to find the wayfinder, but fix the ship before coming back. Of course Poe found another way to break the Falcon, in which he was probably running out of ways to break things, but hopefully than he actually starts fixing them.

As I was with Grandpa Blu, listening for the updates, the general, who was nearby with her own headset on suddenly took them off, the device making a sound as it touched metal. Grandpa Blu and I looked up to see the general struggling out of nowhere to stand up, than walking a few steps aimlessly, like she was possessed by something. I knew that the general was the sister of the now deceased Luke Skywalker, so she had some Jedi abilities or something in her, how else could she have survived the explosion on the cruiser's bridge after we evacuated D'Qar.

The general must have felt something wrong and well we really didn't need any more bad news at this time. As I watched an officer help the general away to lie down and recover, I turned to Grandpa Blu…

"The general will be fine commander, she's just a little worried right now, I hope…" Grandpa Blu told me, not sounding too sure himself as I wondered how we were going to survive without the general…

A bit shorter, but I wanted to save what happens next for the next chapter and I think you all know what's going to happen, so prepare yourselves…

And with that…

See everybird later!
