    I'll do some scenes with Padme/Sache on Alderaan, maybe also a bit Obi/Bail and then there will be a cut to Vader, where his agents report to him how the "chase" for Padme and Obi is progressing. (or maybe I'll do the Vader scene first, and then cut to Alderaan). What do you think?

    Okay, the post is up, now to your part. :) I'll try to describe the overall story, but the details are fully at your command. ;)

    It starts with Padme having contractions. A medic, a nurse, Sache and Obi-Wan are with her (Sache is holding her hand, but Obi-Wan is in the other side of the room - you might want to explain why, since you wrote that he's not the man for emotion... :D ). It could be nice to have Obi's reactions to the whole process of birthgiving (oh, and he has a bad feeling, because he senses Vader, but he doesn't know it's Vader, he just has this feeling).

    Anyways. So, after the twins are born (Leia's the first, then Luke), and Padme's resting, Bail suddenly comes in and informs the others that an Imperial Shuttle has come out of hyperspace. Obi then realizes it's Vader, so he takes Padme and Luke and they fly away (Padme's still very weak, so you can describe it how Obi's trying to help her, because they need to hurry). Bail then takes Leia and tells Sache that he's going to hide her so Vader wouldn't find her. He leaves the room through a secret door. A couple of minutes later, Vader storms in, and sees Sache there. He asks her where is his child (he doesn't know there were twins), but Sache refuses to tell him. He then grabs her throat and threatens her; then asks her where is his wife. She tells him something like "she is not your wife anymore". He then beats her up and seeing that she won't tell him anything, he leaves. He starts looking for Bail, and he senses a strangely familiar presence - Leia's. He follows it and discovers a secret passage. There he "meets" Bail. He takes Leia from him, and begins to torture him - now this is YOUR arena, [face_devil] , as we decided (he uses the Force to manipulate his nervous system, so he slowly begins to grip his heart, he robs him of sight, speech, muscle control, then comes the heart, breathing and at the end, he kills him). Of course, during all that he either talks to him, or he admires his daughter. When he's finished, he can say to Leia something like "come, my little daughter, let's leave this ugly place" or something. So he leaves and flies to Coruscant. Winter appears, and finds her father dead. She starts crying and calling her mother. Sache comes and tries to calm her down. They're both crying.

    And your post would end there. Any other details are of your choice. :) If you have anything, just reply to this.

    OK, Ish, I guess you probably had some problems with your computer because you logged off so suddenly. So I'll write the rest of my ideas here. :)

    For the Tatooine part of your post: you have Ben teaching Luke something about the Force (either communicating through it, or levitation, or both - you choose). Then you can have Padme coming there and watching them, and then talking to Ben - I really don't know. :( ;) You can decide, I can't think of any ideas. The main idea is to show the difference between Leia and Luke and how they grow up.

    Oh, and don't forget to have some woman taking care of Leia... some nanny or what... ;) :D You might also have Vader teach her something, or take her to the Emperor (but I doubt it, because we already had a scene with Palpy).

    The details are fully in your command, Master. :D You may post when ready. :D And please post soon, I can't wait. :D If you have any questions, PM me or post here.

    Not necessarily. Rememer when you tried to send me your beta comments? I couldn't get them, so you posted them here. ;) And sometimes I'm working on a computer that doesn't have AIM, so we can talk either through PM or here. :)
