I'm a procrastinator, ask anyone that I know and they'll tell you that I am.

Does anyone else not like the fact that uploaded documents now are in the document folder for ninety days instead of sixty?

Obi-Wan sighed. What had been a somewhat normal morning turned into young Luke Skywalker, the son of his apprentice Anakin Skywalker, getting attacked by a group of Tusken Raiders. He had arrived in time to stop serious harm befalling the boy but it seemed like now was the time to com out of hiding.

Obi-Wan wasn't sure if he was ready to come out of his hiding place. But he trusted that Bail had good reasons for sending R2 and 3PO instead of trying to get a hold of him via the commlink.

Either way here they all were in his hovel. Luke fixing 3PO while he and R2 observed the whole thing.

"Did you know my Father?" Luke asked as tightened the bolts on the protocol droid's arm. Obi-Wan couldn't stop the fond smile on his face. "I knew him very well. We fought together in the galaxy spanning Clone Wars." He told the young man.

Luke gave a little laugh. "You must be mistaken, Anakin Skywalker was a navigator on a Spice Freighter." Obi-Wan gave Luke a small smile. "Your uncle believed that your father should have stayed here and minded his own business." He informed Luke.

He watched Luke's gaze fall to the floor. "I wish that I could have known him."

Obi-Wan felt a flash of guilt but he couldn't let it bother him right now. "He was the best star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior." Obi-Wan paused for a moment; just remembering those times that were now lost to him. "I understand that you're quite the pilot your self." He saw Luke blush. "And he was a good friend."

He quickly stood and walked over to the chest that was off to the side. "I have something that belonged to your father. He would have wanted you to have it but your uncle didn't like the idea. He thought that if I left I'd take you with me on some blasted, fool idealistic crusade like your father."

It didn't take him long to find the lightsaber buried about midway down. He found himself remembering all the times he reminded Anakin that the weapon was the young man's life. He nearly smiled at the memories but they were tainted by what happened on Mustafar.

He returned to where Luke and the droids were and held out the hilt for Luke to take. "What is it?" tge youth asked, curious. "Your Father's lightsaber, it's the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster; an elegent weapon for a more civilized age."

He turned away and heard Luke activate the blade. He didn't need to tell Luke how dangerous the blade was; the boy had heard stories of lightsabers from spacers in Anchorhead.

"For more then a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the keepers of peace and justice throughout the Republic." Obi-Wan remembered a out loud in a fond voice. "Before the Dark Times, before the Empire." Hr continued; a hint of pain evident in his voice.

He heard Luke deactivate his new lightsaber and felt the boy join him. "How did my Father die?" he asked him.

Obi-Wan felt something shift inside of him. He knew that the truth would not only destroy Luke but prevent him from doing what was necessary when it came to destroying the Sith.

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, he was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights." Obi-Wan forced himself to make eye contact with Luke. "He betrayed and murdered your father."

It wasn't really a lie but it still hurt to know that he was deceiving this innocent young man.

"Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force." He said in a near musing tone. "The Force?" Luke asked, curious. "The Force is what gives the Jedi the abilities to do things that might seem impossible or unnatural to others. It's an energy field that's created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us and binds everything together." Obi-Wan was more than happy with the change of subject but Luke's curiosity.

The R2 unit chose to beep at them.

Obi-Wan sighed softly. He had nearly forgotten about the droid and if there was a message for him then he needed to listen to it.

Beru was cleaning the kitchen when she heard a sensor go off telling them that they had visitors. She quickly set her cleaning tools down, wiped her hands on her tunic and headed above ground.

When she arrived she wished that she had stayed below: stormtroopers were there along with Owen.

"We're just Moisture Farmers," Owen was telling them. "You bought two droids from Jawas yesterday." The leader said simply. "What, did those droids have Imperial Intel?" Owen asked. "Just tell us what you know about them." The leader said gruffly. "We don't know anything." Owen said.

"Luke thought that one of them was stolen because of recordings." Beru said before she could stop herself.

The stormtroopers looked at each other. Beru expected them to demand what the recordings were of.

But to her and Owen shock the leader made a gesture and some of the troopers took flamethrowers to the nearby buildings. "No!" Her and Owen yelled as one.

The troopers then turned her and Owen. Beru knew in that moment that she and Owen were about to die. But they would go to their graves protecting Luke.

Leia sat in the cell that she had been dumped in once she had arrived on the Death Star. No one had come to torture her as of now. But she knew that that was about to change. She could feel Darth Vader getting closer along with others.

Finally the cell door slid open; Vader walked in along with two others. She stared at them for a few moments. She knew that Vader was ruthless with male prisoners. She hadn't heard of him ever taking a female prisoner or what transpired but she had a feeling that he didn't like torture females.

Finally Vader waved his hand and a IT-O droid came in. They were semi legal and Leia found herself wondering if the drugs that were in the needle were legal or illegal.

She found herself hating Cher once more for killing herself. The odds were if Cher was still around that Cher would be here instead of her.

Leia watched as the droid got closer. She hoped that R2 had gotten to Obi-Wan safely and that the plans for the station were now well on their way to the Base.

A tear escaped her right eye as she thought of her son. He was just four years old and he was about to lose the only parent he'd ever known.

She prayed to the Force that it would be worth it as the needle sank into her flesh.

I have considered that Owen and Beru might have been killed because they might have mentioned to the stormtroopers that Luke mentioned a recording and that might have gotten them killed. Let me know what you think.

I am pleased with myself for getting this done now instead of later. Lets see if I can get another one or two other stories updated.

Either way let me know what you think of this chapter.
