Title: Start Here
Author: ardavenport
Timeframe: A short time after ROTJ
Genre: drama and maybe a little bit of everything, AU
Characters: C-3PO, Luke Skywalkers, others as they turn up
Keywords Jedi Order, Jedi, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, recording, Temple
Summary: Luke begins to revive the Jedi Order. And all that speculation I've had since 1983, but couldn't go anywhere with it until we had the final piece of the Saga in 2005. This is a Dear Diary 2008 Challenge story. With luck, it will last throughout the year.
And: typo is my middle name, with missing words and errors that spell checkers don’t catch being my speciality – if you see any, just post a reply or send a PM with the what and where and I will kill them with no mercy.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to George and Lucasfilm; I’m just playing in their sandbox

=============== START HERE ===============
"Recording. Recording.
"Ahem. I am C-3PO, Human-cyborg relations.
"I am assisting Master Luke Skywalker, um, Jedi Knight, in recovering the, ah, well. . . . the remains of the previous old Order of Jedi Knights. Of the Old Republic. And, apparently, I believe, beginning a new one. For the New Republic. Or so I'm told.
"Master Luke has tasked me with this log of our significant events for this project. Well, I did suggest it. Since there will be a lot searching and researching and I don't know what else. Master Luke is a bit vague about what will happen. I'm not really sure he knows.
"I'm not really sure what this all means. But we are on our way to Coruscant to start.
"And I am so glad that awful rebellion is over. The galaxy will do much better without that horrible Empire."
>>Beeeeebebebebe - irz - oooop - fztttttt<<
"Well, I don't know why you should say that R2. That's a perfectly valid thing to say about all the things we've been through."
>>Totototototo-mlaaazzztt<<
"Yes, yes, yes. All right."

This looks interesting. C3PO usually has a different take on things.

What happens?

Me too! I like so far! This looks like it will be wonderful!  Luke said in Heir to the Empire, "You have a unique perspective on the universe, Threepio". I agree!
Great job!

mara_jade_rox: Thanks! C3PO is a change for me to write, but he is very distinctive, so he isn't too difficult either.
Myriad_Daydreams: Thanks for the reply! The difficulty with using C3PO to tell the story (most of the time) would be in not being to distant from what's happening, since he's mostly watching the action. I suppose he'll have to get into a few things.
dancing_star: Thank-you! 3PO does have his own perspective on things. He tends to get wrapped up in his own things and then gets dragged into the story unwillingly. He wants to be useful, but he doesn't want to get blown up either. [face_michief]
Jade_eyes: Thanks for reading! I hadn't thought much about PMs, but things do move faster on Beyond and get buried faster. And I'm sending PMs to the diary sock anyway. I'll just add you, too. However, whenever I send PMs, I don't send another one until the previous one has been opened, so don't leave them too long.

***** recording *****
=============== START HERE ===============
"Recording. Recording.
"C-3PO speaking.
"Well, Coruscant is certainly exciting. It's the center of the Galactic Republic now. The new one.
"Well, there is some confusion about that in the New Senate. Quite a lot of systems don't want to be part of the Republic at all. How odd. But I'm not really well versed in those things. I expect they'll sort it out.
"We have certainly been assigned very nice rooms here. And a lovely view of the city- - -"
>>Bbblllaaaattt - oop teeteeteeteeteet - tifz<<
"Yes, yes, R2, I'm getting to that.
"Well, our task. Hmm. I don't really know what to call it. It's not really a project, not a formal one. And it's not a mission. At least not like what we've had. At least not with anyone shooting at us. Or chasing us. Or with anything blowing up.
"Really we're not doing anything like that at all anymore. . . ."
>>Muuuu - zzzzeett zzzakkk - zat<<
"Of course I don't miss it. I was merely speculating."
>>Da - boop<<
"Oh yes, our project. I don't really know what we should call it. It's not like anything we've been doing and it does seem to be a long term assignment."
>>Heebe - da - heebe - da Ooop twzzzt twzzzzt<<
"Mission: Jedi? Well, I suppose that is what Master Luke called it when he was looking for information on the Jedi when we were still the Alliance. There really wasn't much there to find then. He didn't need us for that. This is very different."
>>Fffzzaatt - pmmffzzt. Budududududu - eeeeeeet<<
"Oh really? And how much do you know about Jedi?"
>>Ooooooop - oot - fzztx - heebe toop ooop - a - oop - a teep - teep<<
"What? That's ridiculous. You were not."
>>Bbbfffffzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaattttt<<
"Oh fine. Have it your own way. But we still don't have a designation for this project. Personally, I think it should reflect Master Luke's priorities."
>>Ooo-doop<<
"Well, Master Luke has several priorities. Apparently, he is to revive the entire Jedi Order. I don't really know how he's supposed to do that. I thought they were all killed.
"He is also supposed to take charge of the Jedi Temple. I haven't seen it, but it's supposed to be quite large and was sealed up by the Emperor. Master Luke hopes to find information about the Jedi there. They apparently had quite large Archives.
"And it's been announced on the Galactic Holo-Net that Master Luke is restoring the Jedi Order.
"There are three-hundred-twenty-three-thousand-six-hundred-and-seventy-seven inquiries about the Jedi from all over the New Republic already. It will take me nearly two days to go through all those.
"Oh, this task is quite overwhelming."
>>Mmmeeeezzzeeett - ooop - tutututututututututu - boooop - fzzzzzzaat.<<
"Yes, yes, R2, I know you're helping. But really, we should have more help.
"I shall speak to Master Luke about it. Right away. Tomorrow morning.
"Oh, after he's done his training. He always gets up so early, but then he just sits there for so long. And sometimes. . . . well. . . . things happen. All on their own. I don't like to come too close. . . . . Well, I will just say that I prefer to keep my feet firmly on the ground."
>>Mmmhhmmhhmmhhmmhhmmhhmmhhmmhhmm.<<
"Well, I don't think it's that funny. And I notice that you're never around when Master Luke is training."
>>Ootootootoommmuuuum<<
"Oh really? Well, we shall ask for help, tomorrow. After Master Luke's training."

Hee!!! Love the banter between R2 and C3PO. It's very in character. That part about wanting to keep feet on the ground LOL

I love it so far! 3PO's rambling and bickering with R2 have been written very well. Keep up the good work, and please keep me posted!

Jade_eyes: Thanks! It almost isn't right to have C-3PO without R2. They go so well together. And neither of them, I think, are quite comfortable with Jedi ways. 
TheOnlyJediPrincess: Thank-you! Glad you're enjoying it.
dancing_star: Thanks for reading! 3PO isn't really a character I write much, but he's Luke's droid and he has such a distinctive style, he really stands out. Glad to hear my characterization of him is working.

Is it sad that I can imagine exactly what Artoo is saying?
Good job so far! Threepio and Artoo are two of the greatest characters ever created and I am so glad that you are writing them. I was disappointed in the lack of the droids in LotF so far so it is good to see them again. Keep up the good stuff!

I could just hear Luke saying those things Referencing Marauder's comment about Artoo and 3PO in LOTF.... that's just criminal. They're a lot of what makes SW have its particular ... tone. Even in the other SF I read, I always like droids with distinct personalities--LOL
