There’s always something…

Art. Art? She was at an art show, representing her father.This was not what she imagined when he’d said she could be his assistant.She thought it meant going on crazy missions and helping build the rebellion to defeat the Empire…But no, instead she was here, with some minister, getting bored, looking at the native(and damn ancient) art of this random backwater world.It was great!…

She roamed around the capital city, going from gallery to gallery; for hours…she was absolutely exhausted, but still tried to pay attention to what the minister was saying, just to be polite.She was a princess after all and blah blah blah, she needed to act like one…whatever.

She’d had a weird feeling about this trip before she’d left but wasn’t sure if it was stress, exasperation or just boredom; and it was still hanging around her stomach.As their guide was going on about some crystal ball thing, the building shook.

People started screaming—earthquake!Attack!Pirates!Take cover!It’s the rebels!—Her heart skipped a beat.What if it was the rebels?She got off the floor where most of the art work in the gallery was now strewn,(She was silently quite all right with this) and tried to think straight.What in the name of the force could have happened…Ughh;and she thought this trip was going to be uneventful…She spoke to the minister and a couple of his guards who were all milling around looking incredibly flustered…She advised everyone to stay put and calm down while she contacted Captain Antilles.

The comm-link buzzed and she jumped when she heard him yelling at her.“Thank the force you’re all ok!!We were worried sick! It’s Saw.He’s gone and blown up the east wing, this is getting out of hand your highness.We have to get out of here.Send me your location, I’m coming to get you right away.”

Today’s a new day, a new beginning.~Ahsoka Tano (from ‘Star Wars Rebels’)

The Apprentice Lives

She sat there, staring unseeingly at the view port.She was thinking about the Sith Lord…she felt so cold; the fear, the anger, the hatred; this man, whoever he was, was consumed by it.Yet she’d had such a strong connection with him.He felt so, familiar.Could it be? She thought…but no, that was impossible.Anakin…Anakin was dead, gone, and besides, her master could never be so vile.

She dismissed the thought as quickly as it had come, but it still lingered, somewhere at the edge of her consciousness.

Ahsoka was confused, her vision was clouded.Her feelings were not permitting her to see things clearly, to see this man, this dark lord of the Sith for who he really was.She was afraid, afraid of the truth…but how could she be? She thought she’d moved on from this.From the loss of the Jedi, the loss of her friends, her master…

She promised herself that she would find the truth, however hard it may be, however long it may take.This feeling was causing her so much pain…she just had to know…

The Light Of A Jedi

I am a Jedi.It’s dangerous to be a Jedi right now.Because right now, the galaxy wants the Jedi dead.
The Jedi religion was pure.It was good, and it was practiced with the sole intention of protecting the light.But as the Clone war began, we forgot who we are, and what we stand for.We got so caught up in destroying the Sith and destroying the separatists that our vision was clouded to a point where we couldn’t see real danger even when it was staring straight in our faces.We didn’t control ourselves anymore, we forgot our training.Even master Yoda, 900 years old, allowed his fear to consume him.We all did…
Doubt, confusion and chaos, things that the galaxy has always had plenty of, were always controlled by the Jedi and replaced with hope.But when the war began, even the Jedi lost themselves in in a well of suffering.So there was no one left to spread hope, no one left who believed.We had become the very thing we’d sworn to destroy.Oh the irony, when our true beliefs taught us never to destroy anything…and so the Sith took over.We were already consumed by the Darkness, so we couldn’t even fight it.And The Galaxy fell into turmoil like never before.
Now, when I look through the force, I see no balance, no light, the connection I was so strong with before, gone.To be replaced with evil.An all powerful Darkness.It engulfs us, controlling the galaxy completely.
***
One day, not so long ago, my team and I were on a mission, and although I rarely use the force these days,(just because the fact that I’m a Jedi endangers everyone around me) I meditated and I saw something that I hadn’t seen in ages.A force.A force of light so strong it had to be a Jedi.It was the light of a youngling.The purest form of light there is in the galaxy, but I hadn’t felt it since the Jedi purge, and that was a long time ago, when I was merely a Padawan myself…It was like being reunited with an old friend.The innocence and positivity of a youngling is like no other.They no nothing of greed, power, hatred, doubt or mistrust; only love, and serenity.Their presence is like a warm hug, an overpoweringly bright light.I missed that feeling so much,I had to find it’s source.

And so I did…His name is Ezra.

Something Out Of A Dream.

She stood there, staring out at the lake…or was it a river?…An Ocean! Her eyes went wide, wide as the water body in front of her.

She breathed.

It was fresh, and clean, she loved it.She didn’t know there was this much green in the whole galaxy.But she didn’t know much about the galaxy…all her life she’d lived on Jakku. Always wanting to leave, but still, always staying.Waiting.Hoping.They’d be back, one day, she just felt it.And she really, really wanted it…

Her thoughts were punctured by Han Solo calling out to her.She was actually with him.The Han Solo.This couldn’t be real…she was just Rey…It was like, something out of a dream.

Temiri Blagg

My whole life I’ve lived in this lousy, beautiful town.Being pushed around by this moron who owns the stables.Nobody cares how he treats the Fathiers or how he treats us, all those rich and snobbish people care about are their own businesses.The only businesses in the galaxy which can get you that rich; selling weapons to the first order, and the resistance.Fuelling the war that’s been waging throughout the galaxy, forever.The war between the light and the dark.

Over the years, they’ve taken many forms but I know that it all comes down to the same thing.And my place in all this is not here.Not here where I get beaten by a stupid old man every day.Not here where I’m constantly ignored. Not here, where I’m insignificant.I’m meant for something greater, and I deserve it.After all we’ve been through, every child here deserves it.

Everyone keeps telling me what to do, when to do it, how to it; but I just can’t…they don’t know what I need, or what I want…It’s frustrating beyond belief.But someday I’m gonna fly away from this place.Far, far away, and be free…I’m going to be a Jedi.

All is as the force wills it.

I’ve been wondering about the force, what it intends for the galaxy.Sometimes it works in my favour, sometimes it doesn’t; but no matter what, the Jedi would always say “all is as the force wills it”.So what is its will?

I meditated.I wondered.I thought.Thought long and hard.Thought about what the force is.

Then it came to me, when I wasn’t thinking at all…

The force is an energy, it surrounds us and binds us.It is non-biased and everlasting.It takes no sides, favours no one.There is no light or dark, good or evil, simply…balance.

There is another…

She landed her ship a little further away from where she sensed the boy was.She thought it best to give him the option to leave, rather than springing up and forcing her presence on him. A strange sensation filled her…nostalgia? She let it pass…

They had never met before…but he knew something about her, and she knew…a little more than something about him.

She approached the cave with caution, who knew what sorts of creatures dwelled in the lower levels of this swamp…

As she entered the cave, she lit a flashlight, thinking that igniting her lightsabers would probably come off as threatening, and she was here to make friends.

She’d walked for a rather short while when she spotted him; he was a lot smaller then she expected…with a horrible pang ,she remembered Anakin.

“Hello”,she said, “You’re a hard man to find, you know?”

Getting off the floor, smiling, he said, “I’m Luke, How did you find me?”

“Oh,When you need help, the force provides…and, a little experience always helps.”

“Who are you?”, he replied, looking slightly sceptical.

She sighed. “The name’s Ahsoka Tano” ,you’re stuck with me, Skyguy…Though she didn’t say the later out loud…it was true:)

The Rebellion

~From Jyn Erso

Theres so much drama.With the empire, raining terror across the galaxy. People, friends, dying every day.Somehow we still manage to fight amongst ourselves, fight with the only people who dared to stand up against the Empire.Somehow, in all this chaos, everyone in this tiny little rebellion, seems only to be disagreeing with each other.The empire rules with fear, divides and conquers, and we’re the ones, the ones sworn to destroy them, who are helping them the most…

I respect Saw, he saved my life, he raised me; but what I don’t understand is why he feels the need to disobey and disregard every order the Alliance gives him. He doesn’t want to recognise that we have allies, other people willing to fight beside us.That we’re part of something bigger now, something much bigger than ourselves.

His methods are rash and reckless and he tends to kill a lot of innocent people while completing his missions…just the other day he was on Naboo, blowing up some Imperial officers suite, I heard, not realising that the queen of Naboo was there too and the princess of Alderaan!The daughter of the biggest contributor to the Rebel Alliance!

It’s like he doesn’t care who or what we’re fighting for—or he doesn’t know…

The Empire is enormous and extremely powerful, and the only way to defeat them is if we stand together.These are dark times, everyone is afraid, barely anybody has the courage to stand up for what they believe, and to fight…barely anybody can fight.So we have to make the best of what we have, respect those who dared to stand up.Support each other…cooperate, even if we don’t want to…now, more than ever, the galaxy needs to do something it’s rarely been able to do before-Unite.But can we?This drama will tear us apart, this plotting and scheming within ourselves, trying to alter missions to complete smaller missions of our own…It will destroy us.

And I can’t sit here and wait for it to hapen.Saw can do what he wants…Personally, I’ve had enough of this rebellion…

I’ll find other ways to destroy the Empire.

Bye-Bye Barris

I don’t know what’s happening to the Jedi.Master Windu said it himself,’We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers,’But now he’s a general and he’s fighting a war. Ahsoka told me that Master Kenobi was protecting the queen of Naboo once and Refused to fight a war for her to liberate her planet from the trade federation because it was against the Jedi code…Now he’s a general too, and I’m a military commander!My entire Padawan training has been on battlefields…I feel traitorous!Even when I meditate, I can sense the darkness, surrounding us, closing in on us, and slowly engulfing us.It has to be stopped! I can’t continue to blindly serve an order that ceases to exist…Ugh!The oder are the ones who are blind.We’re becoming the very thing we swore to destroy.The Jedi and the Republic are failing! I can’t just sit here, I have to do something about it; but when I do, I will be named a traitor, not the rest of the Jedi.I can’t believe they don’t see it.Not even master Yoda thinks we are in danger.This is not the Jedi way.It is almost the way of the Sith.I am not going to turn over to the dark side, the thought is unbearable…but the rest of the Jedi might, and I don’t want to be one when they do.

The Lost Boy

Swinging into his bedroom window, he heard more than two voices downstairs in the kitchen.He was late for dinner anyway and thought he was about to embarrass himself in front of one of his parents’ important friends.Wonderful!He hurried downstairs to find the room devoid of life forms and filled with random clutter.His heart sank deep into his stomach.Where could they be?What Happened?

He walked around tring to work out what could have happened, with every step his feelings of ominousness increased.

He walked over to the kitchen and helped himself to some Jogan fruit.He sat down and convinced himself that they had probably left in a hurry and would be back soon to explain everything.He was used to his parents leaving him alone at home and going on mystrious missions…

…He waited for what felt like hours before reconsidering the fact that the empire was behind this.He knew they didn’t like his parents, but they could never catch them.

The sound of stormtroopers filled his ears, they were coming; but at least he’d got a heads-up…He realised it was time to go.

Ezra filled up his backpack with everything he thought he might need.For what, he didn’t know,But he set off for Old Joe’s.He’d known Joe since he was a baby and he liked him.

He was just so confused, he couldn’t think of anything better to do.He had a very bad feeling about this.And a feeling that his life was going to change forever…

After all what was a 7 year old supposed to do with himself after his parents were kidnapped?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR WARS REBELS!!!!
