The rebels have split up and now Ahsoka, Kanan, and Ezra set out to find Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on aboard the Phantom...
This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, I regret to report that both the Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen and the dark shadow of the Empire rises to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi,... trust in the Force... Do not return to the temple, that time has passed and our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged... our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and in time... a New Hope will emerge. May the Force be with you... Always...
"That was the last anyone heard of him," said Kanan grimly.
"Ahsoka how do you know this Master Kenobi?" asked Ezra.
"He was my master's master... he taught him everything he knew," Ahsoka said solemnly, "Now Ezra since you had the vision you have to lead the way."
"How am I supposed to find an old Jedi Master out of all the places on Tatooine?!"said Ezra skeptically. Kanan stood up and sat next to Ezra, "Calm down focus on the Navicomputer let the Force guide you."
Ezra exhaled profusely, closed his eyes, and started focusing on the NaviComputer. Kanan put his hand on Ezra's shoulder as to help him channel the Force, but Ezra pushed it away as though he was saying ' I got this.' The Navicomputer flickers then it starts moving. Suddenly it stops and beeps signifying that coordinates are locked.
"There!" said Ezra like he had accomplished something which he did. Kanan pinpoints it on the navicomputer, "About ten klicks* east from here." The Phantom quickly turns east and the three Jedi come across a small homestead. "Who would want to live there?" thought Ezra. The Phantom landed and the three Jedi step out only to be greeted by an elderly couple.
"Who are you?!" shouted the old man from a distance, still approaching the Jedi. Now speaking to each other face to face Kanan introduced the three, "I'm Kanan Jarrus, this is Ahsoka Tano, and Ezra Bridger."
"What do you want?" asked the old man sounding a bit frustrated. The woman to his side would say nothing perhaps because that is their way. "Is there an Obi-Wan Kenobi here?"
"What? That old Wizard? I don't know where he is but his magic is far away from here I'm sure of that! Wait. You three are one of those meddling wizards too aren't you?"
"I suppose we are," said Ezra, confused.
"I know who you're talking about," said a mysterious voice. Kanan, Ahsoka, and Ezra looked around as they knew this voice didn't belong to the old man. Maybe it was the woman? No. Behind them a figure was approaching a young boy.
"Luke what are you talking about?" said the old man.
"But Uncle Owen why can't we trust them they seem like good people," said Luke. Uncle Owen looked back at the Jedi, then at the old woman.
"They won't do us any harm, Owen," said the old woman.
Owen sighed, "Alright Beru," he said. He looked at the Jedi and introduced himself, "My name is Owen Lars, this is my wife Beru Lars, and this is-"
"I'm Luke Skywalker," said Luke as he interrupted his Uncle. "Skywalker?!" shouted Ahsoka. "Excuse us." The three Jedi moved to one side to talk privately.
"This boy is a Skywalker!" said Ahsoka. "Yeah, what's the problem?" asked Ezra.
"My master... his name was-"
"Anakin Skywalker, prophesied to be the Chosen One," said Kanan now remembering.
"Lets not alert this to him I sense that if we tell him his destiny could be altered drastically." warned Ahsoka.
"We're sorry for the yelling we misunderstood the boy's last name," said Kanan.
"It's no problem," said Owen Lars, "Luke take them to where they want to go."
"Alright Uncle Owen," said Luke, "I noticed your ship is low on fuel, if you'd like you can leave it here and we'll fix it up for you."
"Yes please," said Ezra.
"Let's go," said Luke, "I'll take you to Ben Kenobi in my speeder."
And with that the three Jedi and a farmboy took off to find Ben Kenobi.
"So where does this Ben Kenobi live exactly," asked Ezra trying to spark conversation. Ezra was so enthralled by the vastness of this planet, it almost reminds him of home, of Lothal. In a strange way, Ezra feels the force on this planet the same way he does back on his homeworld.
"Well Old Ben lives out beyond the dune sea," said Luke, "He's like a weird old hermit, but to get there faster we're going to have to go through the Junland Wastes."
"This place, it's so desolate," said Ezra.
"Yep, there's not much to see he-" Luke's sentence was interrupted by a gasp and hundreds of the creatures that Ezra saw in his vision suddenly jumped down from the cliffs above.
"Luke!," shouted Ahsoka. Luke was knocked unconscious, and the speeder stopped. Ezra ignited his blue lightsaber as did Kanan. The creatures screaming started charging at the three. Kanan swung left as one of the sand people charged him and cut him in the back. Ahsoka tending to Luke's wounds realized that she would be more helpful fighting. She stood up and ignited her white sabers. Three sand people coming in from behind, Ahsoka turned around and used a powerful Force push sending them back. Two more came in from the right, Ezra swooped in cut his gaffi stick in half and used the Force to send him flying back.
Ahsoka was caught off guard by the other creature which tackled her sending her lightsabers out of her hand. She knew they we're beaten. Then the fighting stopped. The sandpeople ran off, frightened by a loud scream. All three Jedi were exhausted lying on the sand, Ezra was panting heavily, he couldn't hold back he slowly closed his eyes and slowly breathed out...
