Return of the Jedi: The Lost Scenes
Title: An Old Friend
Author: GrandAdmiral_Frank
Characters: Luke, Yoda, Qui-Gon, Artoo
Timeframe: ROTJ
Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy
Summary: Luke Skywalker visits Dagobah to see an old friend.
Dagobah, it was a world that did not exist in the galaxy. It was a world in the physical sense and it was teeming with life and the Force. However as far as being apart of the comings and goings of beings in the galaxy it was a remote planet that was unpopulated save for one. One creature, a being as rare to the galaxy as the planet he chose to spend his self-served exile on. His name was Yoda.
At one time he was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. An order of knights dedicated to keeping peace and justice in the galaxy. He was the most powerful Jedi of his time. Yet when the darkness rose and engulfed the Galactic Republic the Jedi Order served and protected he had failed. He chose exile on this world.
For a little over two decades he remained secluded from the galaxy. Meditating, learning more gateways into the Force, patiently waiting for the day that the offspring of Skywalker would arrive. Then one day the descendant of Skywalker did arrive and he was not what Yoda considered to be the hope of the galaxy. All Yoda saw was the boy's father who had become the ultimate evil in the galaxy. Yet Yoda trained the boy and determined after a time that the boy was gifted and he did have the potential to save the galaxy despite the impatience that measured out the same.
One day the boy had a vision of his friends suffering and ultimately dying. Fearing for the safety he left his training and was inevitably walking into a trap laid out by the Dark Lord. Yoda had not heard from the boy since but something told him that the Dark Lord did not succeed...
Too old for this am I, thought Yoda as he took his morning walk through the swamps of Dagobah. All around creatures let out cries, croaks, and yelps. The aging Jedi Master leaned on his gimer stick as he slowly trudged on. Yoda had been thinking a lot of Luke these past few weeks. He had been certain that the boy was being put to the test in ways Yoda could have prepared him better for. Yoda had feared for the boy. Yoda wondered if he had failed yet again.
The power of the darkside had a powerful draw and it was a potential destiny for the son of Skywalker to have. Something told Yoda that Luke had not been killed nor had he turned to the darkside. Hard to see the future was. Yoda did what he could and had little time. He was dying and he wished only that he did the right thing.
He sighed and looked up at the trees. When he had first come here he used to Force jump all the way to the canopy of the treetops and see the sun of Dagobah. It truly was a beautiful sight. Yoda wished he could see it again.
"Anything is possible with the Force", said a voice behind Yoda. Unstartled Yoda turned around to see the Force-ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn.
"Master Qui-Gon, more to say have you?", asked Yoda.
"You worry if you have been a failure", stated Qui-Gon crossing his arms.
"Worry I do if failed the boy I have", replied Yoda finding the nearest rock and sitting down.
"You taught the boy well. What happened from the moment he left was his choice. He took matters into his own hands and he will see if he did right or wrong. All of us must learn", said Qui-Gon.
"Know this I do. Perhaps worried only because I did not see the boy again", said Yoda.
"Time will tell. I agree with your instincts. I think the boy made it", said Qui-Gon.
"Sorry to interrupt but the boy is here", said Obi-Wan Kenobi appearing through a tree trunk.
"Back to the hut I will go. Good-bye Master Jinn, good-bye Master Kenobi", said Yoda.
"Remember Yoda. Life does not end with death. Become one with the living Force", said Qui-Gon.
***
Yoda arrived in time to see Luke assisting Artoo out of the Incom T-65A X-Wing with the Force. He seemed to be so natural at the movements now. The boy had been practicing.
"Back to Dagobah you come. See Yoda", said Yoda.
"Master Yoda!", said Luke finishing the 'landing' of his astromech droid Artoo-Detoo.
"A long time it has been. Increased your skills you have", said Yoda noticing by Luke's presence in the Force.
"Your training made my skills", said Luke taking off his gloves as Artoo rolled behind him tweetling.
"Modest are you. Changed are you after confronting Vader", said Yoda.
"I didn't", said Luke instantly putting his head down. Yoda could tell that something was really bothering Luke and he could see that painful memories were brought up. Yoda was not sure if he should ask if Luke found out about Darth Vader. Yoda could also see that Luke was physically changed from the duel with Vader, the boy had an artifical hand now.
"Inside my hut we will go", said Yoda pointing with his gimer stick.
With that the two Jedi headed towards Yoda's abode while Artoo decided to make systems checks on the X-Wing.

Return of the Jedi: The Lost Scenes
Title: We Shall Double Our Efforts
Author: GrandAdmiral_Frank
Characters: Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Moff Jerjerrod
Timeframe: ROTJ
Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy
Summary: Emperor Palpatine inspects the construction of the second Death Star
It was cold in the space around the second Death Star as it hung in orbit over the forest moon of Endor. However inside the perfected battle station the temperatures were kept at a reasonable condition for the humans aboard it. One could not actually say the battle station itself was perfected since it was still under construction however its concept was perfected as opposed to its predecessor. In charge of its completion was Imperial Moff Jerjerrod who, despite the reasonable climate aboard the battle station, could not help but sweat.
The Emperor of the Galactic Empire was aboard the station now and had begun a general inspection. Moff Jerjerrod could not help but feel nervous at every waking moment, even in his personal quarters. He was also angered by the Emperor's attitude towards him. How could I be angry? The Emperor is the ruler of the galaxy. I should bow before him and plead for a merciful death...maybe in another galaxy, thought Jerjerrod sarcastically. Despite Lord Vader informing him that the Emperor was "most displeased with his apparent lack of progress", Jerjerrod still felt he was competent enough for the job. Afterall he had successfully ensured that the superlaser and combat systems on the Death Star were fully functional.
Aside from that fact the Empire had seen this Death Star nearly completed since the three years its construction began, a feat in itself since the first Death Star took nearly two decades to construct. Jerjerrod let out a sigh as he strode along a line of computer stations with technicians manning them. He was on a level in the Death Star that was responsible for monitoring temperatures inside the core shaft of the Death Star. Behind him the wall that would seal off the room itself from the actual shaft was halfway built which meant on the other side one could look down and see the rest of the shaft going down. Technicians were instructed to stay behind a red line that had been laid down on the floor as a safety precaution so that no one would be too close to falling perilously to their death.
"What is the working capacity of these systems?", Jerjerrod asked the senior technician in the room who had been following him. His name was...Jerjerrod looked at the name insignia and read Kev Lobe.
"The systems are fully functional however in order to fully monitor the core shaft temperatures we will need that wall built because the systems are also monitoring the atmospheric conditions in this room since they are still sharing the same atmosphere", replied Kev who was fidgeting with his datapad.
"Where is the construction unit on this level?", asked Jerjerrod.
"At this moment they have moved into the other rooms on this level to check the bolts on the chairs", replied Kev.
Jerjerrod was about to say something when the doors from the turbolift hissed open revealing Darth Vader who was flanked by two stormtroopers and behind him came Emperor Palpatine flanked by two Royal Guards. Inside Jerjerrod could feel his stomach drop and suddenly he felt he had to use the bathroom. Darth Vader and his stormtroopers were on a set course walking towards Jerjerrod as the Emperor went off on his own little tour of the room.
"The Emperor is examining the progress on this level. You would do well to not disappoint him", said Darth Vader pointing a finger at Jerjerrod. At this moment Jerjerrod felt like all the fingers in the galaxy were pointing at him and blaming him for everything. However he was a soldier and he held himself in a solid matter.
"The Emperor should not be disappointed. As you will soon find out this level is nearly complete", countered Jerjerrod. For some reason it felt like what he said had no match to Vader's warning.
"I see that this level like the station itself is almost completed. Is there any area that I may find satisfaction in?", asked Emperor Palpatine from one of the computer stations. He stared at Jerjerrod with those horrible red and yellow eyes. His tone of voice held contempt and it was as if a demon had fused with a human's body.
"There are levels that are complete. Our hangar bays are fully accomadating. The superlaser and the combat-"
"Spare me what you consider to be accomplishments. It is the only defense that you have and quite frankly it is becoming redundant. I see that I will have to motivate the staff on this level. The temperatures of the core shaft are an important function to oversee are they not?", asked Palpatine who held a crooked finger at Jerjerrod.
"Yes", answered Jerjerrod.
"Then I shall speak with the person in charge of this level even though it is you in essence", said Palpatine who suddenly had a devious smile that Jerjerrod almost cringed at seeing.
At this moment Kev Lobe tucked his datapad under his arm and walked over to the Emperor. The situation was already tense and it did not help that Kev could hardly stare at the Emperor. Palpatine said nothing however his eyes showed that he despised the being in front of him. It seemed to Jerjerrod that a handful of seconds passed in which Palpatine was crafting some twisted idea in his mind. Jerjerrod's suspicions were confirmed when Palpatine spoke.
"Lord Vader, release him", said Palpatine.
At the moment Vader who had been standing with Jerjerrod strode over to Kev Lobe at a brisk pace. Kev Lobe dropped his datapad with his lips trembling and tried to say something however the words never came. Jerjerrod noticed that Kev had also just soiled himself. This meant nothing as Vader grabbed the senior technician and lifted him high in the air. The room was filled with the cries of Kev as Vader started to walk with Kev above his head. All of the other technicians could not look as their co-worker and boss was being tortured.
"WATCH IT!", shouted Palpatine in a gutteral voice with his flaring eyes wide and insane.
Vader took Kev Lobe over past the red line that the technicians were required to avoid and hurled the screaming man down the shaft. A few of the technicians had tears in their eyes and all were shivering as the high pitched scream of death became fainter marking Kev Lobe's fatal plummet down the shaft. Since the shaft was so massive they could not hear the body impact but that was not necessary for the fear factor that Palpatine had just instilled in the technicians.
Jerjerrod was sick inside. Kev Lobe had done his job in a most effecient matter. If anything the construction crew should have been punished and even they did not deserve it because everyone was working hard in Jerjerrod's opinion. This was no way to run a battle station yet Jerjerrod could not protest for fear of a similar fate or worse. Vader's mechanical and now chilling breathing was the only sound in the room. Palpatine wore a smile on his face revealing yellow teeth.
"A fitting death for someone who thought he had control", remarked Palpatine with a cackling laugh.
Jerjerrod closed his eyes for a second in some hope of going somewhere else. No, that is not the option. You are a soldier. You come from a history of a proud line. This will all be over and once this station is completed you can return to Tinnel IV. At least he had hoped that the Empire would allow him to do so.
With the incident over Palpatine and Vader and their entourage left the room. The technicians all went back to work but it was clear that fear was what made up the atmoshpere. Jerjerrod wanted to say something to the men but it was useless, Palpatine's point was what was intended to stay ingrained in their minds. He exhaled a heavy sigh and went back to his duties.

Author: GrandAdmiral_Frank
Characters: Davin Felth (Zeta Squadron Sandtrooper)
Timeframe: A New Hope
Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy
Summary: Zeta Squadron has been dispatched to recover the missing droids of the Tantive IV raid. The following are excerpts from the private journal of Davin Felth. The complete writings can be found in the Imperial Archives on Bastion.
Davin Felth Private Journal
...We've been dispatched by Lord Vader to recover an escape pod that jettisoned from the Tantive IV raid. None of us, aside from the superior officers, know exactly what is so important about an escape pod but if that's what they want than it's our job to get it. I'm new here in the Desert Sands sandtrooper detachment and already I wish I was back at Carida. I had it all, I knew I was going to move up and then Veers had me sent here. I thought he'd want to keep me seeing as how I found the design flaw in the AT-AT. I guess the safety of troops is less important than ascending yourself up in the ranks. I can't lie when I say that Captain Mod Terrik really whipped me into shape and it's been easier now that the men have accepted me.
Our Sentinel-class shuttle departed from the Devastator and Desert Sands was split into Alvien, Drax, and Zeta Squadrons. I'm in Zeta Squadron...
...Today I thought I found the escape pod but it was merely a boulder. The sands of this rock of a world are mind-numbing. I think there is some magical essence in it that can take a man's soul. Tatooine is a desolate place and why anyone would chose to live here is absurd. Thank Captain Terrik for getting me in shape. On that note, for some reason Captain Terrik seems worse on this mission than any other time I had trained under him. I even went as far as to ask him why so much force was being put out for an escape pod and he lost it. I suppose I should just shut up about it and keep marching forward for the glory of the Empire. Afterall we are nothing more than a number. Mine is 1023 by the way...
...I thought the day would end without success yet I had seen something shine even in the bright and golden dunes. Running over to it I found the escape pod. Further examination turned up droid tracks and a ringlike piece that could only belong to an astromech droid. I thought the escape pod was it but I knew that Captain Terrik would have us go after the droids too. Sure enough now we are looking for the droids. I think that if the desert doesn't take 'em then some scavengers will...
...Last night was surprisingly cold. This planet sure has its way no doubts there. The droid tracks led us to a group of traders called Jawas. Captain Terrik discerned from them that the droids had been sold to moisture farmers. Of course Captain Terrik, even moodier with this heat, ordered that we search the sandcrawler the Jawas used for transport. I myself searched the droid repair bay and found nothing. I have to admit that I found the Jawas fascinating with their glowing eyes and quick chirplike speech. The search turned up nothing and then Captain Terrik got us all together and ordered that the Jawas be slaughtered. All the men were excited. Excited! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. What had these creatures done to anyone? Of course that didn't matter. All these kriffing trigger happy boys were excited to finally use their blaster rifles. I took no part in it and I could not watch. Captain Terrik even spoke that humans were the superior beings in the galaxy and that these creatures were interferring with the Empire's efforts in maintaining peace in the galaxy. What peace? The jawas told us the truth! Terrik was just another human supremecist in the Empire. He had Zeta Squadron set it up to look like Tusken Raiders had done it. I had heard of them before. They were said to be ruthless. Another injustice done in that fact to those people who were going to be blamed for it. I'm starting wonder how much of this actually is going on in the galaxy right now. No wonder there was a Rebel Alliance...
...The moisture farmers were located. I'm still shaken up by what happened to the Jawas. Again Terrik ordered us to search the place. I was trying not to draw too much attention to myself. I just wanted to be alone. I noticed everyone else wasn't even bothering trying to search. They were just knocking everything over and smashing it to the floor. Was it to make them feel tough? I don't know. Terrik had the two farmers who were an older couple taken outside and placed on their knees as the place was searched. Captain Terrik found out from the farmers that their nephew had taken the droids. Terrik deduced that the boy was going to the nearest spaceport city Mos Eisley to smuggle them off planet. He told them that they were going to be arrested for aiding the Rebel Alliance. The male farmer named Lars spit in Terriks face and that's when Terrik called Lord Vader. I don't know why but when Terrik informed Lord Vader of the couples 'crimes' Vader seemed as nothing but pure evil and he ordered their execution. The couple was shot and the farm was destroyed...
...We've been at Mos Eisley now reading records of all pilots in the docking bay files. Roadblocks have been set up and many people have been questioned with no luck. We even started searching door to door. Everyone is on alert. I had tried to forget the Jawa slaughter when one of them came out of nowhere and tried to shoot at another sandtrooper. My guess is that the creature must have had family at the sandcrawler. The DL-44 it carried must have been deffective because nothing happened. Of course the other sandtrooper had no problems laying the Jawa to waste. Again I am reminded that this Empire I serve must be evil...
...The droids were found today. We hightailed it to docking bay 94 to find a beat up Corellian YT-1300 heavy stock freighter. The man we saw was Han Solo. He had just shot a Rodian at a cantina we had investigated. Someone even had reported seeing a lightsaber which got Terrik all worked up.
Something happened that moment when I watched Solo standing up to all of us. He was one man. We were a squadron yet he still fired away. This one man who stood up to us. All we had done was attack innocent people for no reason. This one man who had more courage than I had ever seen in my life. I wanted to be him. I wanted to be right next to him firing at my own comrades. I noticed that as he turned Captain Terrik was about to get a shot on him. I raised my rifle and squeezed the trigger. The shot came as the last of Solo's shots came so when it hit Terrik everyone thought that Solo got him. I watched as Terrik hit the ground and I felt liberated. My first kill as an Imperial foot soldier and it was an Imperial I had killed. The other men were devastated to lose their leader. Yet I silently rejoiced.
I decided that I would help the Alliance that day. I would be a spy and continue to work on Tatooine delivering information whenever I could. No more meaningless slaughters. No more injustices. No more Empire. We had come to Tatooine and destroyed so many homes. Ironic because now I had a new home. I was no longer an Imperial. I was a member of the Rebel Alliance and that was where home would be to me...

so far your still the only one posting stories, but keep posting anyway, even without the rest of us. Eventually we will surprise you and post a story, it is bound to happen.
In the mean time I thoroughly enjoy reading your stories.

Thank you. I will have a rough time these next two months because I am going to adjust to two jobs, play catch up with bills, try to manage some silly ass charade of a Christmas and try to crank out some fics. I have one I did for the PT rewrite, one coming up for the Han and Chewie Fan Club and one I know I want to write for this months topic. I could not go to the Halloween event and Comic-Con seems parsecs away in reality. However I intend to do everything in my power to make it to the book club.
