“Luke?” “Ben?” Luke woke up panting, he always saw the force ghost of Obi-Wan,
but never seen him in his dreams. He used all Jedi skills to detect whether he had been dreaming it. He saw it again, the picture of Ben Kenobi running through his mind. “Luke?”, “It has been time, you took great steps by bringing your father Darth Vader to redemption and a powerful Jedi knight you have become, although complete your training you have not”. “I have not?” Luke said in response. “You have not”…. “Yes I have” Luke countered”, “No you have not, during the purge of the Jedi, most of the holocrons have been destroyed by the Sith. I want you to find what is the remaining of all jedi holocron only then will you be a true Jedi”. “Ben? Where can I find these holocrons?”, Obi Wan appeared again before it gone white “Tatooine”, “Tatooine, what? there? I never been there since” he paused before saying “you know, my uncle and aunt died”, and the vision was gone. “Master Luke” someone called out, knocking at his door was C3-PO “Your sister Leia is worried about you, she said she can sense it”. “Hey, C3-PO I was just coming out of bed” Luke said “Tell Leia I am proud of her” show-off Luke had just been teaching Leia the ways of the force and jedi senses. Leia Organa Solo was now pregnant, she had a big job to do, establish a new republic along with Han Solo, she just got married with him. Luke put on his Jedi robes, the black tunic he worn the same day he fought the rancor in Jabba’s palace and when brought Darth Vader to redemption. He was set off to Tatooine on his X-wing along with R2-D2..... Han Solo walked in when Luke was just about to set off "Hey kid, where you goin?" he then paused "Fay'lea and Ackbar are having a dog fight again, your presence is expected by all and Mon Mothma. Leia has been worried about you and sent me here to find you". Luke countered "Han, dont be so counterintuitive but I must go to Tatooine", "Tatooine???" Han said stunned. Where in the empire did Luke think he was going. What did he think he was doing. Is he crazy, so that was his first intuition "Are you crazy?" accidently came out of his mouth although he completely meant. Suddenly a roar came behind Han, it was the wookie- Chewbacca. Han Solo still stunned by hearing Tatooine. That was the place he'd been frozen in carbonite and almost met his death. He was the smuggler to Jabba the Hutt. Luke then said in response "Han, I know a lot of bad things happend there, if I were to become a jedi and train Leia, I must go in search for the jedi holocrons", "Holocrons?" Han countered again "What are those stupid things? You are going back there cuz of a stupid reason", Luke then without a word set off, pulled his X-wing lever and took off. As soon as he was in orbit, he made the jump to lightspeed. Han almost wanting to run behind him, now thought what was Leia going to think? How will he explain it to her that Luke went to a place so dangerous enough that he just might not come back and who knows what's left of Tatooine. Luke jerked his x-wing in impatience but suddenly reached out of hyperspace and reached Tatooine. He just realized he did not know anything where to find the holocrons, he believed the force will guide him. His eyes suddenly closed and he saw the day he was on Jabba's sail barge, he noticed something this time in his vision, a shadow figure above the sail barge. There was something that called to him, as if he had to find that person or even if that was a person, he suddenly realized it was the dark side calling to him or so that was what he taught. He screamed in agony trying to resist the dark side, and suddenly his eyes opened wide. And he just realized he was in the X wing above the otmosphere of Tatooine. He landed down to Mos Espa, Back in Coruscant, Han was fractured by Luke's disappearance, he was sitting at the council as it started and Leia quietly squeezed Han's hand seeing his clearly apparent fear, she could sense it with her Jedi skills. That's when Mon Mothma addressed the meeting and Leia realized that Luke was not here. Leia took a deep breath and reached out with the force to see where Luke was. A voice suddenly reached Luke, "Leia" he replied. Mon Mothma began the meeting by addressing Luke "It seems Luke is pre occupied by something that he couldn't attend the meeting that will establish the New Republic. Leia, Han you where his is?" Mon Mothma with a bold gentle assertive voice she always speaks in. "Leia" Mon Mothma repeated again seeing her state. And suddenly Leia came back to her senses. "Luke" she said out aloud. "What about him?' Mon Mothma paused "Do you know where's he been?" Admiral Ackbar joined in after confusion about where Luke had been "He's one of our greatest assets, we need him. Where is he?" Then Fey'lya side eyed him with the same look he always has when conflicts someone, he gave his fur a ripple.
Leia then said "He's in his X--wing" and then she suddenly stood up "Tatooine?" she said in confusion and horror "Mos Espa" "He's in danger", "You know what you have to d,o" Mon Mothma said shaking her head in a wise manner that clearly showed off that she knew etiquette.
Luke arrived on Tatooine. His footsteps echoed to himself. Sand and dirt scraped on his shoes, but he's seen far worse in worse places. The underworld of Tatooine died when Jabba died, Boba Fett and Sintas Vel established themselves, consolidating themselves as the ruler of the Underworld. This was before the reign of Rakatas. It was a period of desolate race for crime syndicates competing for resources- food, spice and HYPERSPACE. Luke was walking along Mos Espa and he walked in the cantina. It was full of bounty hunters and criminal syndicate members and what remained of them. R2-D2 stayed in the X-wing before it was stunned. It was Jawas. They stripped the X wing for parts, especially the hyperdrive motivator which was the most valuable part and R2 had been taken by Jawas. Luke saw R2-D2 being taken. He ran out igniting his lightsaber which ignited with blue. And all bounty hunters saw his lightsaber, they realized he was a jedi.... A jedi was good bounty. They raised their blasters. Luke cannot die without a fight, but he had to save R2. He could only do one thing at a time even being the greatest Jedi. He felt so helpless. He deflected all blaster shots in the cantina as the bartender hid down. All bounty hunters fired at him. He deflected each shot, went inside the cantina and slain all bounty hunters with his lightsaber. There was a silence for a moment until the cantina owner the bartender said "So, you're a Jedi.....", Luke paid no heed to those words and he ran out to save R2-D2 when suddenly everything went black once he reached out. He was captured by sand people and just as he was about die as the sand people was going to hit him with a pike so sharp.
Untill.....
BOOM, the two Sand people died by a shot in the head by a blaster. "Kid, you alright?" Han Solo came to Luke. "Luke" Leia screamed. "Han"
"Luke" Han said.
"You are here, how did you track me here?"
"With my jedi skills" Leia said proudly.
"Show-Off," Luke then replied cheekily.
Leia grabbed Luke's hand as he woke up and they reunited together.
