Reborn Into Star Wars

Chapter 4 - The Death Star

  The escape from Tatooine was quite frantic, but after we jumped to hyper-space everything calmed down. 

I was watching as Obi-wan was mentoring Luke, he suddenly had a look of anguish "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and was suddenly silenced" I remember something I watched on the internet in my past life, Llamas with hats. "the sound of forgiveness." Obi-wan heard my mumbling "what" he asked. "nothing" Obi-wan went on training luke.

  after several minutes we dropped from hyper-space getting pulled into a tractor beam. we were getting boarded, Han rushed to a panel on the floor opening it "get in, they won't find us here" the rest of us complied. 

  two stormtroopers boarded, one a few inches shorter than the other, after some time and we ambushed them taking their uniforms. since neither of them would fit me being the titan I am at 6'5 the two that got them were Luke and Han. "you guys are short" I noted as they got suited up "or maybe you're a giant" Luke replied angrily "fine" it seems I struck a nerve. 

  The hangar was HUGE, there were sh.i.p.s everywhere, and though most of them were tie-fighters there were a few others. The one that really caught my eye was a Gauntlet Fighter about fifty yards from our ship, it's base color was a deep grey and had an awesome blue paint job. I resolved to steal it when we got ourselves off the Death Star

  We snuck to the hangar control room, "let me handle this" I said as we reached the blast door. The door was opened by a man with dark hair and a cap before he could do anything, I bludgeoned him with my rifle knocking him unconscious. I feel a tingle in the back of my mind and spontaneous jump to the side dodging a spray of blaster fire. 

  The source of the blaster fire was another man on the other side of the room, I charge him slamming the stock of my rifle into the man's face until he is no longer recognizable. I look over at my companions, Han and Chewy look passive and focused, Luke looks horrified and Obi-wan has a disgruntled expression on his face "well, he looks dead" Han quipped after taking off his helmet.

 " I must go shut down the tractor beam, stay here till I return" Obi-wan stated "alright old man, I've already done more than I intended" Han agreed. "beep-boop whir beep" came from R2-D2 "what?" I asked knowing what was coming. "I'm afraid I don't quite know, R2 said that he found her and keeps repeating that she's here" C3P0 conveyed "who's here?" questioned Luke "Princess Leia" explained C3P0 "where?" I asked "the detention block" and so that's where we would go.

  "Alright, what's your plan" Han wasn't set on the Idea of rescuing the princess and needed some convincing, which shows that my mere presence doesn't change things too much."umm, Hey hand me those binders" C3P0 hands luke two sets of binders. there was only one in the original, binders of plot convenience... yep. why were they in the control room?

"Now luke, I understand the plan, but what am I supposed to do about my guns" three rifles were in a sack on my torso and I had a blaster on each of my h.i.p.s, not to mention my vibroblades. "hand 'em I'll say they're confiscated goods" I grimaced handing them over.

I still remember telling my wife that I was hired by the empire. She didn't want me working here, but she didn't understand. I might not be able to see her much, but the job paid well enough to support them without me being there. my job was to monitor empire prisoners and oversee transfers within my cellblock. The elevator doors opened and inside there were two storm-troopers and two prisoners. One prisoner was a tall young man, the other was a wookie.

"where are you taking these things" no respect for a criminal.

"prisoner transfer from block 1138"

"I wasn't notified, I'll have to clear it" I got to work, some of my coworkers can be so careless at times. Then the wookie escaped, there were multiple blaster shots and then...

[POV Change]

We were running, and by we I mean me and Luke. Han and Chewy had stayed behind to watch our backs. "Hey Luke, Give me my Damn Weapons"

When we arrived at Leia's cell I rushed things skipping the "Aren't you a bit short to be a stormtrooper" bullshit.

"Princess Leia, we are here with Obi-wan Kenobi to rescue you." Heck, I even pointed out the trash compactor shoot earliar.

The point of this rushing is the slight chance of rescuing Obi-wan, but...
