Gabri: And you didn't! shock tongue

Sorrowfully gruesome is a good way to put it. I guess I wanted some of the more icky descriptions in there to give more 'life' wink to the rest of it - since there isn't much description at all; I wanted it to be vivid at least in that respect. I'm glad you think it's powerful. grin And that I got things down from the different persectives, despite it being first person and all. tongue Thank you! grin hugs

Indeed, its a very nice piece, Obaona.

Did we sign the bill? No, the Senate did. Did we want to hunt Jedi? No, the Chancellor said it was a 'sad necessity'. I guess it's Emperor now, which seems a bit odd for a man claiming to love democracy, but no one really dares to argue with him at this point. Certainly not me. And I know the Jedi don't have a choice; Palpatine picked their side for them.


This paragraph seems to describe the horror of the purge. How the Jedi were stripped of the dignity and status that they rightly deserved. They went from being respected and cherished to feared and despised. The Jedi still has his compassion intact and all he wants to do is help, yet Lan still responds to him as a threat for defending himself against the hunter... Its all so sad, isn't it?

Vivid_Scripts: Apologies for taking so long to reply. wink It is sad, and yes, they are. But Lan does have a reason to fear the Jedi - most of his friends were just killed. Justifiably or not (I indicate the Jedi kind of lost it, and killed people running away), he still killed. But Lan and company are only doing their duty, and the Jedi is only trying to survive. *shrugs* It's an impossible situation in which neither are at entirely at fault. No plain bad guys here. tongue Anyway. tongue Thank you. grin

Great story! I loved the emotion showed through-out the whole thing especially the anger of the Jedi before he relizes what he has just done. applause
