Saga - PT "The Justice of the Jundland" (OCs, clone wars, short story) COMPLETE 4, August

gg.

 

I like that we're in the middle of the action to start. And Maya is smart to use her head and make sure she has some sort of back up instead of just charging in to the fray.

Good start!

 

Indeed; Maya's growth is evident, and having 3 ARCs as backup will be most useful ... because a remote "farm" on Tatooine involving dark-siders just screams "trap."

And the Jundland Wastes, as Kitster notes, are their own kind of trouble ...

 

Another adventure starts! Jabba's allegiance with the Confederation is not a surprise in this context at all. The clones would better return until Kitster and Maya get in trouble again!

Ack. Well, Maya's not entirely alone, and she's good in a fight ... but Tuskens are dangerous in greater numbers, to paraphrase a certain Jedi Master ...

BTW, Kurisan, I want to commend you on your use of visuals. You have a very good ability to paint a picture with words; the reds and purples of the desert, the description of the Raiders ...

 

This is starting to look like one of those stories with the multiple endings, particularly with the "get the bike or help Kitster" ending. Either way, both Maya and the former slave risked A LOT here. That speeder didn't exactly sound like the best vehicle on Tatooine and with converters broken, one just had to guess what would happen next. Tuskens were predictable, but still, exciting.

Hope Maya manages to do both and hope she is aware of the weight of her promise to Kitster.

 

Eh Ai Aw EE O
Eh Eh Ah.
various other sandpeople noises.

Sorry, I had to.

 

Jawas AND Sandpeople! Maya's really in the stew now! And I feel a bit for Kitster...wanting to see Anakin again, not realizing how angry he's become, even though he hasn''t fully turned yet.

Seconding Ewok Poet on the "good descriptions" line.

 

Lurked earlier on during lunch breaks at work, but did not log into the JC. (Fanfic is a bad habit of mine like my chocolate addiction. I hope to get over both very soon.)

I love you giving us Anni´s Kitster. And Tuskens.

Anything might happen when Maya pulls out a light sabre on their lot. Especially after the local legends on Anakin´s slaughter so many years ago.

I hope that Maya´s courage and fierce fighting style will impress the Tusken so much, that they will attempt to assimilate her into their tribe. They do that occasionally, when they are few in numbers and need blood. The rituals (for example described in the Obi-Wan novel "Kenobi") are not easy. Only a few survive. Shmi did not.

You also should consider the way the Sith are worshipped among the Tusken:

 

Maya, Maya, Maya, noooooooooooooooooooo!

I hope there's a way out of this.

 

Yay! Update!\
It's chapter 3 in part, yes? More chapter 3?
What a cliffhanger. In just a paragraph worth of prose there as full action.

 

Ack - well, she's tough, and survived Jabba's court ... maybe the Jawas will help her?

A bleak vista of hatred and an unreasoning need to torture

shudders.

oh my.

 

Snaps to Maya; she's trying hard to maintain the standards of the Jedi and not instantly regress to "aggressive diplomacy" as the go-to. Kitster, sadly, has no such illusions. Now, having won the gratitude (?) of the Jawas, will the little guys show their gratitude and help out or run for the hills as soon as they're away from the Tusken camp?

 

That went better than I'd hoped (and kudos, both for Maya attempting to stick to her morals, and overcoming the anger she felt from the Tuskens). I'm getting a KOTOR I vibe from the scenery in the Tusken camp ...

 

That's precisely what I've been wondering.

 

With Disney in charge, the strangest things might happen in the SW universe. As I already have foreseen around 2010:



But as long as we all have fun writing and painting, it is okay, I´d say.
