R2D2 and C3P0 walked towards Jabba's palace. Padme floated beside them. "If I told you half the things, I have heard about this Jabba the Hutt you would probably short circuit. "Threepio said. "Not to mention Jabba is charge of the slave trade on Tatooine. If Anakin had the chance, he would have destroyed Jabba's slave transmitter. "Padme added. They reached the front gate and Threepio spoke to the security droid. After it returned into the door the door opened and they headed in. Bib Fortuna met the droids and spoke to Threepio. He led the droids to Jabba in his throne room. "The message Artoo. The message. "Threepio said to Artoo. Artoo started playing a holographic recording of Luke. "Greetings Jabba. I am Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight and friend of Captain Solo. I seek an audience with you. I wish to bargain for the release of Han Solo and present a gift. These two droids. Both are hard working and will serve you well. "The hologram said. Jabba started laughing. "Artoo what? Your playing the wrong message "Threepio groaned. "There will be no bargain. I will not get up my favorite decoration. I like Captain Solo where he is. "Jabba said as he pointed to the block of carbonite containing Han Solo. "It's Han Solo and he is still encased in carbonite. "Threepio groaned. The guards lead the droids to the lower-level prison area and then into a boiler room.
A Gonk droid was turned upside down and hot irons lowered onto its feet causing it to let out an electronic scream and spray coolant vapor to prevent overheating. A brown colored droid spoke to the droids. "Ah good new acquisitions. "EV9D9 said. "You are a protocol droid? "EV9D9 asked. "I am C3P0 human cyborg. "Threepio started speaking. "Yes or No will do. "EV9D9 cut in. "Well yes. "Threepio replied. "Ah splendid we have been without an interpreter since the master got upset with our last protocol droid and ordered him disintegrated. "EV9D9 explained. Suddenly a silver droid being stretched groaned as its right arm and left broke off. "Oh, Oh Oh!" Threepio groaned. "Fit him with a restraining bolt and take him back to our master's main audience chamber. 'EV9D9 ordered. "Artoo don't leave me. "Threepio cried as he was led away. EV9D9 turned her attention to Artoo who started beeping like crazy. "You're a fisty one. You will learn some respect on the master's sail barge. "EV9D9 said. The gonk droid ceased functioning after the glowing irons were lowered on to its feet again. Padme was enraged. She shoved EV9D9 into the wall. "Say your prayers droid! Padme said. "Who are you? You don't register on my sensors. "EV9D9 groaned. Padme removed the humanoid droid from the machine and using her force power put EV9D9 in it and started it pulling her. She Put EV8D8 under the glowing irons and started hitting his feet with them. "I'm going to turn you into hydro spanners. "Padme told EV9D9. EV9D9s limbs were pulled out and her body hang helpless. Padme shot a blast of energy knocking EV9D9 to the floor. "My next shot will melt your motivator. "Padme said. Padme fired another blast at EV9D9, and she melted away while Padme made the molten metal into hyper spanners. EV8D8 stopped functioning after the brands hit his feet one too many times. Padme left.
Oola a green Twi'lek was dancing as the band played a song. The music suddenly stopped as Jabba was trying to get Oola to dance again. Jabba got mad and hit a button by his side and Oola fell into the rancor pit. Padme followed her. The barrier raised up and the rancor started to attack. Padme pushed the rancor into the wall and held it there. The door opened and the rancor keeper ran in and tried to move the creature from the wall. "Run! Head through that door. I will lead you out. "Padme said to Oola. Oola ran through the door and Padme led her to an exit from the palace. "Go find a better life. "Padme said as she pointed the way out to Oola. Oola escaped. Jabba was mad when Padme returned. "Why did the rancor get stuck on the wall? Someone will pay for this outrage! "Jabba shouted.
Suddenly there was blaster fire and a guard got pushed aside. Boushh led Chewie before Jabba. "I have come for the bounty on this Wookie. "Boushh said. Jabba called for Threepio to Translate. "The Illustress Jabba the Hunt bid you welcome and will gladly pay you the reward of 25000. "Threepio said. "I want fifty thousand no less. "Boushh said in his own language. "Fifty thousand no less. "Threepio told Jabba. Jabba knocked Threepio down in anger. "Oh, what did I Say? "Threepio asked. "The mighty Jabba asks why he must pay fifty thousand? "Threepio asked. Boushh pulled something out of a pocket. "Because he is holding a thermal detonator. "Threepio warned. Boushh activated the device, and it started beeping. Boba Fett grabbed his blaster and pointed at Boushh while everyone else panicked. Jabba started laughing. "This bounty hunter is my kind of scum fearless and inventive. "Jabba said. "Jabba offers a sum of thirty-five. I do suggest you take it. "Threepio said. Boushh put the detonator away. "He agrees! "Threepio shouted. Some guards led Chewie away. Padme knew Boushh was Leia in disguise. She looked into Jabba's mind and saw that he had delt with the real Bousshh before and she was worried. "I think Jabba is on to you. He has met the real Boushh before. "Padme warned Leia.
That night Boushh snuck into the dark and empty throne room and headed for the block of carbonite where Han Solo was still frozen. He hit a button that lowered the block to the floor. Boushh pulled a lever on the side of the block that started thawing Han out. Han fell out of the block and Boushh caught him. Padme was next to Boushh. "Where am I?" Han asked. "Jabba's palace. 'Boushh asked. "I can't see. "Han said. "You have hibernation sickness. Your eyesight will return in time. "Boushh replied. "Leave that to me. "Padme said as she put her hand on Han check. "Padme why are you here and who are you?" Han asked Boushh. Boushh took off her helmet revealing Leia underneath it. "Someone who loves you. "Leia replied. "Leia! "Han shouted. "Let's get out of here! "Padme shouted urging the couple to move. Suddenly a curtain opened, and a familiar laugh was heard. "Ha ha ha. "Jabba laughed. "What that? I know that laugh. "Han said. "Look Jabba I was on my way to pay you back and I got a little sidetracked. It's not my fault. "Han explained. "It's too late for that. You may have been a good smuggler, but your bantha fodder now. "Jabba laughed. "I will pay you triple don't be a foul. "Han said. "It's too for you Solo. "Jabba said as the guards took Han away. "Bring her to me! "Jabbas ordered. The guards brought Leia to Jabba's side. "We have powerful friends. You are going to regret this. "Leia warned. "I am sure. "Jabba replied. "I don't think I want to see this. I will get Luke. "Padme said before she disappeared. Luke was at Obi Wan's home when Padme appeared. "Leia has been captured by Jabba after she tried to rescue Han. "Padme warned. "Leia just signaled me I know. Mother, I will get them out. "Luke replied. "I will check on Leia. "Padme said. "You should mother. No telling what Jabba might do to her. "Luke said. Padme disappeared.
Padme returned to Jabba's palace. She found Leia chained to Jabba's throne and forced to wear a metal bikini outfit with a big purple cloth covering the bits between her legs. "If Anakin knew you were enslaved, he would rescue you in a heartbeat. "Padme said. Jabba was asleep. Padme suddenly changed into the same slave outfit as Leia. "If you are trying to make me, feel better it is not working. "Leia groaned. "It gave me an idea. I am going to see if I can win Anakin over with this. "Padme said smiling. "Tell if it worked out, okay? "Leia asked. "I will. "Padme said and then she disappeared.
Vader was in his quarters on the second death star when Padme appeared. "Were you enslaved by a Hutt? "Vader asked as Padme walked around him. "A friend of mine was captured by Jabba. "Padme replied. "Anakin what do you think of my outfit? "Padme asked. "You aren't winning any beauty contests here. "Vader replied. Anakin switched back to her nightgown. "Stubborn as ever. I sense the conflict within you. "Padme replied. "There is no conflict. "Vader replied. "You were created by Palpatine. I didn't realize it until now because my vision was clouded like the jedi's. That didn't mean you had to become a Sith. "Padme explained. "It was my destiny to join the dark side. It was unavoidable. "Vader replied. "No, it wasn't. If Palpatine hadn't put those visions of me dying in childbirth in Anakin's head, he would not have fallen. "Padme said. "You will never reach your full potential because of your injuries on Mustafar. "Padme warned. "Padme, I love you in that slave outfit. Help me! "Padme heard Anakin cry. "I will overcome it. "Vader replied. "You will never overcome it. "Padme said and she disappeared.
When Padme returned to Jabba's place Luke was just being brought before Jabba. Bib Fortuna spoke to Jabba. "Master this is Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight. "Bib said. "I told you not to admit him. "Jabba growled. "He wanted to speak with you. "Bib replied. Jabba pushed Bib away. "You weak minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick. "Jabba shouted. "You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookie to me. "Luke said. "Your mind powers won't work on me boy. I shall enjoy watching you die. "Jabba said. Luke force pulled a blaster to him and fired as Jabba hit the button causing Luke to fall into the rancor pit. "He be jedi. He be jedi. "Jabba said as his dais moved towards the pit. Padme flew down into the pit. The rancor made short work of a gamorrean guard that fell in with Luke. "I think he wants you for dessert. "Padme warned. The monster picked up Luke and he shoved a bone in its mouth. Padme kicked it in the groin, and it didn't respond. She went behind it. "Where is its sweet spot? "Padme asked as Luke ran into the pan where the rancor live. Padme kicked it from behind and it screamed. The rancor ran past Luke and clawed the wall near the door leading out. "Bring Solo and the Wookie to me. Bring the boy. They will pay for this outrage. "Jabba ordered. The door opened and the rancor keeper tried to calm the creature down while guards took Luke to the throne room where Han and Chewie were waiting. Jabba spoke to threepio "Oh dear. The Illustres Jabba the Hutt decrees that you be terminated immediately. You are to be taken to the Dune Sea by skiff and tossed into the great pit of carkoon home of the all poweful Sarlacc. In its belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years."Threepio said. "Where is Leia? "Han asked. "I am here. "Leia replied. "What is he making you wear? "Han asked.
Jabba's sail barge and three skiffs floated above the sand as they traveled across the Dune Sea. Jabba and his guests were in a festive mood as Artoo severed drinks. Padme appeared before Jabba. "Let my children and their friends go. "Padme said. "I am not afraid of a hologram that was used to torment the empire. "Jabba said. "I am an angel not a hologram. "Padme said as she force pulled a drink off Artoo and splashed it in Jabba's face. "If you think that will stop me you are wrong. "Jabba warned. Jabba pulled the chain connected to Leia causing her to come back to him. "Soon you will learn to appreciate me. "Jabba said to Leia. Threepio bumped into Artoo knocking the drink tray off him. "Artoo! What are you doing here? "Threepio asked. Artoo beeped back. "Well, I can see you are serving drinks, but this place is dangerous. Ther are going to execute master Luke. "Threepio said. Artoo beeped back at him. "I wish I had your confidence. "Threepio replied. The sail barge stopped near the pit and the skiff carrying the prisoners stopped over it. "Jabba the Hutt hopes you will die honorably. He will now listen to your pleas. "Threepio explained. "Threepio you tell that piece of worm ridden filth he will get no such pleasure from us. "Han shouted. No one on the barge noticed Artoo heading to the top deck. "Jabba this is your last chance free us or die. "Luke warned. "Move him into position. "Jabba ordered. The guards pushed Luke to the end of the plank. "Put him in! "Jabba ordered. Luke waved goodbye which was as a signal to Artoo to launch his lightsaber. Luke fell spun grabbed his lightsaber but missed the plank. Padme spring into action as he fell into the sarlacc. Padme pulled the sarlacc out of the ground and it floated above the skiff. She began shaking it. "Drop it! Drop it! "Padme shouted as she squeezed the bottom of the sarlacc towards its mouth forcing Luke out. He landed feet first on the skiff and ignited his lightsaber. Luke started fighting the guards. Soon Lando and Chewie joined in. Jabba started shouting orders. Leia grabbed the ball on the end of her chain and struck the control panel with it causing the shutters to close, plunging the sail barge into darkness. Luke jumped to the deck of the sail barge. Han was holding a long rifle when Chewie growled at him. "Boba Fett Boba Fett Where? "Han asked as he turned around and hit Boba's rocket pack sending him flying into the sail barge and falling into the sarlacc when Padme moved it under him. It burped loudly after eating the bounty hunter. Padme raised her arms and shouted "GOAL!" mimicking the moves she saw a female soccer player do on earth. Leia threw the chain around Jabba's neck and choked him to death. Artoo cut the chain releasing Leia. Artoo saved Threepio from a creature pulling his eyes apart. Luke fought guards on the upper deck of the sail barge when Leia appeared. Luke turned to her. "Get the gun. Point it at the deck. "Luke shouted. Leia rotated the big blaster cannon and pointed it at the deck. "Where are we going. I can't possibly fall." Threepio said as Artoo pushed him off the barge. Luke grabbed Leia and hit the blaster trigger with his foot and then they swung across to the waiting skiff. "Let's go and don't forget the droid. "Luke said. They used electromagnets to pick up the droids and flew away as the sail barge exploded. Luke flew his X-wing towards Dagobah, and the others flew in the Falcon to the rebel fleet.
On the second death star troops, officers, guards, and Darth Vader stood at attention as Palpatine came down the ramp from his shuttle. "Rise my friend. "Palpatine said to Vader. They started walking away from the shuttle. "I sense you want to continue your search for young Skywalker. "Palpatine said. "Yes, my master. "Vader replied. "He will come to you and together we will turn him to the dark side. "Palpatine said. "Another one? Palpatine, you suffer from a superweapon complex. 'Padme said. Palpatine started laughing. "Luke will never turn, and we will see who will have the last laugh. "Padme said. Padme disappeared.
Artoo was working on Luke's X-wing while he visited with Yoda in his hut. Yoda moved slowly to his bed as Luke and Padme looked on. "That face you make. When nine hundred years old you look as good as you are you won't "Yoda said. "Master you can't die. "Luke said. "Strong I am with the force, but not that strong. "Yoda said. "I can keep you alive long enough to finish Luke's training. "Padme replied. "Lived long enough I have. No more training is required. "Yoda replied. "Then I am a jedi. "Luke said. "No one more thing required. You must defeat Vader. Only then a jedi will you be. "Yoda said as he got into bed. "I can't defeat my own father. "Luke said. "Pass on what you know. "Yoda said as he faded away. Luke and Padme went outside to Luke's X-wing. "I can't defeat my own father. "Luke groaned. "You are our only hope. "Obi Wan said. "Ben! 'Luke said as he saw Obi wans force ghost walk towards him. "When I first met Anakin, I was impressed how easily the force flowed through him. I thought I could train him like Yoda. I was wrong. "Obi Wan said. "Wrong! You left him alone on Coruscant when he needed you the most and you went along and betrayed him with the council in asking him to spy on the chancellor. "Padme groaned. "Palpatine manipulated us as well as you. "Obi wan said. "When you father became Darth Vader, the good man was destroyed. "Obi Wan said. "No, he wasn't fool. Anakin is trapped inside Vader. "Padme growled. "Then the empire has already won. "Obi Wan said and he disappeared. "They are still stuck in the old ways. "Padme groaned.
