Dann Kyjaa wiped the sweat from his brow. Hot. Very very hot.
The man sat there in the dimly lit corner of his small one room house. If you could call it a house. Typically a house consisted of such conveniences as refresher stations and possibly even some foodstuffs. No, not this warrior's dwelling. It was little more than sand mixed with water and hardened into four walls in the stifling Tatooinian sun. Well.. suns really.
"Ow!!" He exclaimed sharply as he jumped back insinctively from the work table. Crossing the wrong wires on a vibro motor will do that.
He shook his head and continued tinkering with the wires until the long axe began to hum into life. Finally. This second rate Vibro Axe was starting to be more trouble than it was worth.
He stood from the chair he'd been sitting in for what seemed like days but was probably more like hours. He stretched his arms into the air letting out a roar of a yawn, both arms stretching out as if they were reaching for the suns themselves.
Dann reached down and retrieved the long vibro axe which had just been restored to life and slowly marched towards the door. As the door slid open with an audible woosh Dann squinted and raised a hand to shield his eyes from the abnormally bright suns.
"Man I've been locked up in this dungeon too long." Dann thought to himself.
He looked down and saw a rifle propped up against the wall just right of the doorway, he picked it up and slung it over his shoulder before he walked out into the arid desert.
Despite the obvious downfalls Tatooine was a beautiful planet. As the suns set a pastel masterpeice was painted across the canvas that was the panoramic early evening sky. Gentle purples and pinks exploded into a baby blue background as the soft orange orbs that were the twin stars of the Tatooine melted into the scattered mountain range.
Dann Kyjaa's vision began to drift towards the heavens, to infinity and beyond when the three Star Destroyers which occupied Tatooinian orbit came into view. All the beauty and tranquility that had just been taken into consideration was immediately lost upon the fact that Dann Kyjaa's adopted planet was now under Imperial "control". An oxymoron Dann thought.
And then suddenly across the desert something stole Dann's attention. A shadowy figure which marched seemingly directly towards Dann's modest home had Dann absent-mindedly reaching for the rifle slung over his shoulder.
Just as the figure came into clearer view Dann paused. An old man? In the middle of the desert?
