"Problems, kid?" a voice said.
Luke looked over his shouled and saw Han smirking.
"Why are you here?"
Han shrugged, "The princess said she has got money, so I can leave."
Luke asked, "Why are you so intent on getting money?"
Han sighed. "kid, your'e a farmboy. I have a debt to a person by the name of Jabba the Hutt and..."
"You owe a Hutt money? No wonder you want paid," Luke said, laughing. "We were going to set up a base on Hoth, but those two...fold drives? Is that what they called them? Those two fold drives changed everyone's plans. Let's get you out of debt and out of trouble. The Empire is bad enough."
Han looked at Luke. "How did you know about the Hutts?"
A sad look came over Luke's face. "Uncle Owen used to talk about them. I think he was doing his best to scare me into staying home. Funny how things work out."
Han shifted the collar of his shirt out of uneasiness. "Uh. Yeah."
Luke hung the lightsaber back on his belt and said, "Come on. Let's talk to Leia."
Han nodded and followed.
-----------------------------------------------------
Luke finished explaining to Leia. "While the Rebellion is busy with those drives, I'd like to get Han's problem taken care of."
Princess Leia Organa replied, "We should have enough cred sticks to spare to cover his debt."
Luke's voice dropped, as he said, "I'd like to go with him. There is a place I want to visit."
Leia closed her eyes and nodded. "Obi Wan Kenobi's home., I take it?"
"Yes. I'd like to see if Ben left anything else behind."
"Very well. I'm comming with you guys as well."
"Um. You don't need to do that>"
Leia smiled, "If I don't come with you, the three of you will just wind up in trouble again. Don't worry about your X-Wing. It'll be fine here. You'd better get R2 and 3P0 as well. We might need 3P0's tranlating skills."
Luke didn't say anything, as he went to tell Han the 'news'."
----------------------------------------------
In another galaxy, Anakin Skywalker, while wearing a Bomber's jacket, was digging through his TIE fighter. Since he no longer had need of it, he had removed the respiratory systems that allowed him to remove the Darth Vader helmet while inside.
"That's better. I now have a bit more room," Anakin said, as he reached into an inside pocket of his jacket. "I'd better see if I still have those 'trophies' in here.
Anakin removed his hand from the pocket, holding a small pink bottle. The only clear markings on the bottle was the number '36' and above the number in a smaller font were the letters 'UV'. Squirting a whitish gel into his hand, Anakin thought about the Clone War.
'I wonder what would have happened if the Jedi of the Old Republic weren't so arrogant,' the former Sith Lord thought, as he rubbed the gel on his face and hands. 'Maybe Darth Sidious wouldn't have taken power.'
Anakin snapped the lid of the bottle shut and held it in front of him. "Dr. Lang insisted that I keep using this for the next year until my body has acclimated to the sunlight once more. Oh well. Now where did I put them?"
Anakin pulled out two crystal objects and two lightsabers from a concealed panel. He put the crystals in his jacket and looked at the lightsabers. He put one aside with a look of sadness on his face. He used his right index finger to trace the grooves and protusions on the device.
"Obi Wan, I have the feeling that your blade will shortly be used once more."
He blinked a tear out of his eye and stared at the lightsaber in his left hand. He grabbed the bottom of the lightsbaer and started rythmically tapping it against his left palm.
"This is all that's left of a lot of Jedi. Their weapon, but no history of the person who once used it."
He smirked as he stared at the deactivated lightsbaer
"The only blade I've ever seen of this color. How did you do it?"
Anakin grabbed the other lightsaber and pondered aloud. "One Sith Holocron, one Jedi Holocron, and two Jedi lightsabers. Using those objects and my knowledge, I'm going to build a new Jedi Order?"
Anakin looked at the ceiling of his TIE fighter. "The Jedi I knew weren't real Jedi. They allowed themselves to be corrupted by their drive to remove the Dark Side. According to this Jedi Holocron, Naomi Sunrider was a mother before she became a Jedi."
Anakin climbed out of his starfighter and looked at the pile of breathing equipment that he had removed. "This place's medical wing can use that equipment. I think one of Dr. Lang's techs should be along to pick it up soon. I think we'll be near that Mars planet soon."
