Chapter 1: The Rainbow Connection
Luke Skywalker was relaxing in his family farm as he played a banjo and relaxed.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
As Luke finished singing, he heard a voice call out for help. He walked up to the large river beside his house and looked as a man came by on a boat.
"This is a serious call for help here!" The man shouted out. "You with the sunglasses and the banjo!"
"Yeah?" Luke asked. "What do you need?"
"I have lost my sense of direction!" The man said.
"Have you tried Harry Fisher?" Luke asked.
"No, I mean I'm really lost." The man said.
"So where do you wanna go?" Luke asked.
"Out of this state." The man said. "I've gotta catch a plane."
"Oh." Luke said. "So you need to find the airport. It's just downstream."
"Thank you." The man said.
"Just watch out for the alligators." Luke warned.
"Right." The man said. "Wait, alligators?! Did you say alligators?"
"Read my lips." Luke said plainly. "Alligators."
"It's just that I'm not used to alligators where I'm from." The man said. "You see, I'm an agent from Hollywood."
"Hollywood?!" Luke said in awe. "Did you say Hollywood?!"
"Read my lips kid." The man said. "Hollywood. You know. The dream town. Hey, don't you ever see the movies."
"Oh yeah." Luke said. "There's a double feature in town every Friday."
"Hey, wait a minute." The agent said. "There's an ad in here that you should be very interested in."
The agent opened a paper and turned to a quarter page ad with the 21st century Fox logo on it.
"'21st Century Fox studios announces open auditions for people seeking to become rich and famous.'" Luke read. It sounded interesting, but it didn't sound like Luke's cup of tea. "Thanks anyway, but I'm really quite happy here."
"Oh, if I were you, I'd definitely consider this audition very carefully." The man said quickly. "You've got talent kid. I heard you singing. Come on. You could make millions of people happy."
"Millions of people happy?" Luke asked.
"That's right." The agent said. "If you ever come to Hollywood, look me up."
The agent then handed Luke a card.
"The name's George Lucas." George said.
"Well, you better get moving to catch that plane, Mr. Lucas." Luke said. "Well... See you in the movies."
George Lucas smiled and rowed off.
Luke then chewed on what George Lucas said.
"I'd miss this old place but... Millions of people happy." Luke sighed.
He knew what to do. He got his bike out of the shed, made sure he had money in his pocket, and rowed off.
Hooray! Luke's beginning his journey!
