Title: Faith Does Not Compromise
Timeframe: AotC
Focus: Jocasta Nu
Notes: A drabble is a work of exactly 100 words (not counting title).

* * * *

Jocasta was amused by the Jedi's doubts. He was young and could be excused for not understanding the infallibility of the system. "If an item does not appear in our records," she assured him, "it does not exist."

She left him when she saw one of her students standing nearby. "What are you doing out on the floor?" she asked sternly.

He stared at his feet. "I've messed up, miss."

"Let's not discuss it here." She led him away from the patrons. "Now what happened?"

"Miss, I've accidentally deleted a file."

"Which one?"

"Yours, miss."

Jocasta tutted gently, then vanished.

Fantastic - that was imaginative and original. Highly amusing in 100 words. Hope to see more!

Bowing to pressure, I'm collecting my drabbles into one thread.



Title: Jedi at the Gate
Timeframe: pre-Saga
Focus: Yoda, crossover
Date: 11 February, 2003

* * * * *

Nobody knew whence he had come, and the swiftness with which he'd conquered Mordrine alarmed many in the Senate. Of course, they'd turned to the Jedi Council.

* * *

"Pleased to meet you we are," Yoda said. Despite his pleasant tone, he stared the conqueror straight in the eyes. The other blinked first; he turned away, his cape billowing behind him.

"This is the vaunted Jedi, the mighty force sent to stop me, put me in my place? You will lose, little alien! You will fall! You and your Jedi cannot face the might, the awesome power of the indomitable Moooooojo Jojo!"



Title: The Old Man and the Sell
Timeframe: ANH
Focus: Obi-Wan, Luke, challenge
Date: 12 February, 2003

* * * * *

Ben led Luke down the steps into the cantina's darkened main room. "Are you sure about this?" the youth asked.

Ben sniffed the air. "Yes. We shall find what we need here, I am sure." He walked up to the bar and attracted the proprietor's attention. "Mister Paprika," he said, "and one for the boy."

The bartender set two bright pink cans on the counter. Ben took one, pulled the tab, and drank greedily. "Yes, most refreshing." Then he turned to Luke and held the can up for him to see. "Now that, my young friend, is a Jedi's pop!"



Title: The Luke Show
Timeframe: ANH (AU)
Focus: Luke, Obi-Wan
Date: 17 February, 2003

* * * * *

Luke paused in the dusty street when he saw the tall figure. Amid the brown and white robes of the locals, the man in black metal seemed to inhabit a different reality. And then he removed his mask.

"Father!" Luke yelled.

Chaos erupted. People dropped what they were doing and grabbed the man, dragging him away, while others stumbled into Luke's path, preventing him from intervening. Then, without a word, they went back to their routines.

* * *

In his control room over the Tatooine Dome on Coruscant, Ben Kenobi was fuming. "How," he asked his crew, "did Skywalker get in there?"



Title: Master Yoda and the Jedi Academy
Timeframe: PT
Focus: Yoda
Date: 17 February, 2003

* * * * *

Leaning on his cane, Yoda paused at the top of the stairs and stared out at plants from thousands of worlds. "Come," he said to the young recruits and their parents, "and in a world of hard work and devotion you will be."

He started down the steps, whipping his cane up to block the path of one eager child. "Look around and beauty that is truly grand you'll see." He reached the bottom and stood aside, letting the recruits run and explore.

Joy turned to panic when he saw what they were doing. "Stop! Edible those plants are not!"



Title: The Mynock's Died
Timeframe: RotJ (AU)
Focus: Leia, Han
Date: 22 March, 2003

* * * * *

Leia waited until the queasiness had passed, then returned to where the celebration was continuing.

"What's wrong?" Han asked.

Leia desperately wanted to lie, but she couldn't. "Morning sickness," she admitted.

"But we... It's not... How is this possible?"

Tears welled in Leia's eyes. "You were in carbonite, and we were alone together."

"I hope you and Luke will be happy," Han said.

"Don't be disgusting," Leia chided. "He's my brother."

"Then who?"

Leia looked away, and Han followed her gaze. "I should've guessed," Han hissed. "Lando."

Leia shook her head. "Next to him."

"Chewie?"

"It just happened!" Leia cried.



Title: Kinned Ham
Timeframe: pre-RotJ
Focus: Bib Fortuna
Date: 24 April, 2003

* * * * *

Jabba needed another interstellar video line, Bib thought as he finally reached the front of the queue. He entered a number, and an elderly Twi'lek appeared. "Bib, hi!"

"Hello, Uncle Bob."

Behind him, Klaatu laughed. "Bob?"

"What's so funny?"

"Bob's your uncle!"

Bib exhaled slowly. "Right. Anyway, how are things on Ryloth?"

"Couldn't be better," Bob bragged, "but Beeb'll be sorry she missed you. She's at another conference."

"Who?" Klaatu asked.

"My uncle's wife runs an interplanetary media conglomerate," Bib explained.

"You're related," Klaatu asked, awestruck, "to the Beeb Fortuna?"

Bib nodded. "We're all very proud of my Auntie Beeb."



Title: Separate Spheres
Timeframe: pre-ANH
Focus: Leia, Han
Date: 24 April, 2003

* * * * *

Leia pretended to watch the Coruscant skyline fly by, but she was really looking at Boean's reflection in the speeder window. He was working up the courage to slide closer to her, and his nervousness made her smile. In other circumstances, she'd probably fancy him. But her heart belonged to another. Leia couldn't wait for the day she became Mrs. Lak Tarrant. And she would be once he read her fan letters.

* * *

Thousands of light years away...

Han awoke with a start. "Chewie, I had the weirdest nightmare. Imperials were quizzing us about math."

Chewbacca shook his head and laughed.



Title: A Broader Perspective
Timeframe: Pre-ANH
Focus: Bail Organa, Emperor Palpatine
Date: 13 May, 2003

* * * * *

Bail ignored the robed guards as he strode into the throne room. "Is it true?" he demanded. "Is there a 'Death Star'?"

His former friend stared up at the image projected against the ceiling, the night sky as seen beyond the reach of Coruscant's glare.

"Just lights," he said.

"What?"

"Would you feel any pity," Palpatine asked, his voice distantly calm, "if one of those lights blinked out forever? Or an invisible speck of dust somewhere near one? Would you even notice?"

Bail couldn't answer, could barely breathe. Resisting the urge to run, he quietly backed out of the room.

I started this a few months back as a response to two challenges, then set it aside and went with separate drabbles (visible above). One was the H/L challenge in which Leia goes out with someone other than Han. The other was to write something inspired by a line from a film. Han's last line comes from one of my favorite films, the original To Be or Not to Be, starring Jack Benny and Carole Lombard. My only change was to make the line less grammatically correct - I may appreciate "with whom," but Han's not the sort.



Title: Objections from the Gallery
Timeframe: post-Saga
Focus: H/L

* * * * *

"Believe me, ma'am," Captain Stack said, "if we could have brought in one of our operatives, we would have."

Leia nodded. "I understand completely."

They looked up as Han entered. "Why's Internal Security here?"

"Councilor Mentatha's an Imperial agent," Stack explained. "We can't get near him, but your wife's already scheduled to attend a private reception he's hosting tonight."

"You expect her to what, capture him by herself?"

"If at all possible," Stack answered.

"If not?" No one spoke. "Wait a minute. I'll decide who my wife's gonna have dinner with and who she's gonna kill."

Leia laughed. "You'll decide?"

Each and every one of your drabbles are excellent! I am amazed how much you pack into 100 words. Very skillfully done and very entertaining. happy I like them all so much that I don't think I could really pick out a favorite. The humor is the best part in each one, though - especially when it hits at the end as a surprise. LOL!

Would you have anymore of these little gems?

Thanks. Now, I'm sure this joke has been done before, but recent discussions started it bouncing around in my mind.

* * * *

Title: The Color of Leadership
Timeframe: Post-Saga
Focus: Wedge Antilles


Wedge examined his reflection in the mirror, then shook his head. Why had he accepted Corran's recommendation? Granted, the guy was a fantastic pilot, but his color sense was worse than a Talz's. Well, maybe Tycho could use it. He was about to wash up when his comm beeped. The squadron's new recruit had arrived.

* * *

The young Gran gasped when Wedge entered the lounge. "Were you in a fight?" she asked. "Your face is all bruised."

Wedge laughed. "No, I was trying something new, and I don't think it suits me. Anyway, I'm here to welcome you to Rouge Squadron."

Here are some more challenge response drabbles I've done.



Title: Desert Justice
Timeframe: RotJ
Focus: Han
Date: 21 July, 2003

* * * * *

As the skiff sped away from the fiery wreck, Han and Leia held each other close.

Eventually, Han opened his eyes and looked around. "Where are we going?"

"The ships," Luke explained, "are in the lee of those rocks up ahead."

Han turned to face the Jedi. "Tell me my Falcon isn't sitting unguarded in the middle of the desert."

Chewbacca growled.

"Well, it'd better be."

* * *

Soon, they came around the rocks. "See, old buddy?" Lando asked. The Falcon did appear intact; then Han spotted the distinctive yellow shape near its base.

"I see!" he yelled. "My baby's been clamped!"



Title: Ex Post Facto
Timeframe: post-Saga
Focus: Leia, Han
Date: 27 August, 2003

* * * * *

A quiet day shopping with Leia; Han should've known it wouldn't last.

"Well, look what the bantha coughed up!" Even across a crowded market, he recognized that gruff voice.

He turned to Leia. "Dear, is there a woman coming toward us, blonde, about so tall?" She nodded. "Okay, this is important. Is she wearing clothes?"

"Of course! I'm not as young as I was twenty years ago." She slapped Han's back hard, knocking him over. "Anyway, you didn't mind as I recall. You must be the missus. Alyss Torvaloo, but my friends call me Bonzer."

"Bonzer?"

"Don't ask," Han warned.



Title: The Sands of Time
Timeframe: pre-ANH
Focus: Ben
Date: 28 August, 2003

* * * * *

Ben stared at the ground in front of him, then stretched out with the Force. As the sand started to swirl, he thought back.

* * *

"Visualize the shape," Qui-Gon instructed, "and allow the Force to guide the individual particles."

Obi-Wan watched the blue grains flow up from the floor to form a perfect sphere. When he looked over to his mentor, though, it fell apart.

"Patience, young padawan. Learn that, and you will be able to create far more complex patterns."

* * *

"What's that?"

Ben's concentration faltered, and the Jedi Temple collapsed. "Ah, Luke, does your uncle know you've come out here?"



Title: Minute of Revelation
Timeframe: PT (AU crossover)
Focus: Jar Jar Binks
Date: 16 November, 2003

* * * * *

Faid found his quarry striding along the ninetieth floor's south hallway toward Naboo's assigned office suite, recently upgraded from level sixty. "Junior Senator Binks, they are ready for..."

"Pleesa, young page, you may call me..."

"Stop!" he interrupted quickly. "Your first name has been banned in all public discourse by Supreme Chancellor's decree."

"Why? Someone not like it?"

"Repeating words during conversation, even ones such as Jar, is no longer allowed on Coruscant."

"Huh?"

"Worse yet, hesitation and deviation have also become capital offenses."

"Palpatine's mad!"

"Actually, there's a new man running things now."

"Daresa I ask who?"

"Nicholas Parsons."

Title: Your Holovid Solution
Timeframe: post-Saga
Focus: Jacen

* * * * *

"Sorry, Billi," Jacen said, "we can't play today. We're going to the Megapark with our uncle."

The boy on the link groaned. "Oh."

"Maybe you can come with us."

"No," Billi said, "I have to be home for 'Mace Windu' tonight."

Jacen laughed. "You can watch it here when we get back."

"What?"

"Mom and Dad have an Ewok who records all our shows for us when we're out."

"Wow, I've never even seen an Ewok," Billi said.

"With all the trips they make us take," Jacen told him, "Jaina and I would go nuts if it weren't for Teebo."

Title: Combatus Interruptus
Timeframe: ANH
Focus: Ben, Vader, crossover

* * * * *

"The circle is now complete," Vader said.

Ben eyed his former apprentice warily and adopted an offensive position. In his heart, he knew only one would survive this battle.

"When I left you, I was but the learner." Vader ignored the sound of a turbolift opening behind him. "Now I am the master."

"Actually, I believe I am the Master." A bearded man in a black tunic embroidered in gold stepped from the lift. "Ah, Vader, there you are. When you're done playing, Tarkin wants to see you. Also, do you know where that idiot Motti has hidden my TARDIS?"

Title: Knocked on the Noggin
Timeframe: RotJ
Focus: Luke

* * * * *

The skull smashed into the control panel, and it exploded in a shower of sparks. Released, the massive gate dropped, pinning the rancor to the ground before it could reach Luke. The creature exhaled once, then was still.

Luke could hear the screaming above him but, now that the immediate danger had passed, he let his Jedi calming techniques ease the tension from his mind.

And then the rancor inhaled. "Oh I say," it rasped, "bad sport, old bean, using the door like that. Talking of which, could someone lift the ruddy thing off me? I'm getting a frightful headache."
