Senator Palpatine,
I'm sorry, but we are not on our way to Coruscant yet. Our ship is still damaged and all we have are Republican credits, which are worthless on Tatooine, so we can't buy the part we need. I'm not completely sure how long it will take, but something needs to happen soon because I can't just sit here anymore while my people are suffering.
Jar-Jar is a Gunjan who is helping us. It's a very long story as to how we met up with him. Perhaps I will tell you after all this is over. Also, I'm not sure where we are, but I'll have to ask my new friend, Anakin. He's very smart, I've no doubt he'll know. He's already built an entire droid by himself, which as you know, is an incredible feat for such a small boy. He has already offered to podrace for the credits we need to buy the part, but I can't allow him to put himself in that kind of danger for our sakes. Hopefully, we'll be able to figure something else out.
Being on Tatooine does make me nervous. Everything is so different here and I feel like I have to constantly watch my back. For once, I'm glad the Jedi are here. I know they wouldn't let anything happen to me.
I will continue to keep you posted on our situation in Tatooine.
