The Fall | Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Chapter Four

"That's it, Tatooine" One of the Pilots said as they approached the planet. They had just barely made it past the blockade but they had thanks so an astromech called R2D2. Unfortunately their ship had sustained some heavy damage and they were forced to land on a nearby sand planet. "There's a settlement" Obi-Wan said. "Land near the outskirts. We don't want to attract attention" Qui-Gon instructed. While the ship entered the atmosphere and landed, Sylvie and Qui-Gon dressed themselves in commoner clothes to blend into the crowd.

Sylvie undid her hair from its usual crown braid into a thicker one that fell down her back. Maybe it was a bit more elaborately styled for somebody trying to blend in but it did the trick. She replaced her usual Jedi robes with a cream shirt which was topped by a sleeveless brown tunic. Matching cream pants and high brown boots. She hid her lightsaber in her sleeve.

"The hyperdrive generator is gone. We'll need a new one" Obi-Wan informed them. "That will complicate things. Be wary. I sense a disturbance in the force" Qui-Gon warned. "I feel it also Master" Obi-Wan said. "We can't let them send any transmissions" Sylvie said as she followed Qui-Gon outside.

They were joined by JarJar and the astromech R2D2. "Dis sun doen murder to mesa skin" The Gungan complained. "Wait!" Sylvie turned around at the sound of the head guard's voice. He was coming towards them alongside a pretty girl with long brown hair, she looked rather young, fourteen, maybe fifteen. "Her highness commands you to take her handmaiden with you" He said. "No more commands from her highness today captain. The spaceport is not going to be pleasant" Qui-Gon said.

"The Queen wishes it, she's curious about the planet" The guard said. Qui-Gon sighed "This is not a good idea" he told the guard "Stay close to me" That one was directed at the handmaiden. The padawan fell into step beside her "Sylvie" she murmured, holding her hand out to the handmaiden. "Padmé" The handmaiden responded, giving Sylvie a smile. They hadn't been walking long before they entered the city. "Moisture farms for the most part, some indigenous tribes and scavengers. The few spaceports like this are havens for those who don't want to be found" The Jedi knight stated. "Like us" Padmé said.

"We will try one of the smaller dealers" Qui-Gon said, nodding to a junk shop on the other side of the road. A small bell chimed as they entered and a Toydarian flew up to greet them. He told something to Qui-Gon in Huttese "I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian" The Jedi knight responded. "Ah yes! Nubian. We have lots of that" The Toydarian exclaimed, this time in basic. They then turned towards the inside of the shop and yelled something in Huttese. "My droid has a readout of what we need" Qui-Gon said.

Through a door that led outside, two children rushed in. A boy of about nine with short blonde hair dressed in a pale dusty brown tunic and pants. Following him was a girl who looked to be about six with long blonde hair, she was dressed in identical garb to the boy. He snarled something in Huttese to the two of them. The girl said nothing but the boy responded as he and the girl climbed onto the counter. "So... Let me take thee out back huh? Ni you will find what you need" He said with a laugh. "Don't touch anything" Qui-Gon muttered to JarJar, snatching a part out of his hands before following after Watto.

Alina sat next to her brother, watching as two of the new people and their droid left with Watto. "Are you an angel?" Anakin asked suddenly. The brown haired girl looked at him in surprise "What?" She asked. "An angel" Anakin repeated  "I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them, they're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moons of Iego I think" Alina's brows furrowed in confusion "But Ani, mama said they don't exist" she whispered. Anakin shot her a look. "You're a funny little boy" The girl said, coming closer "How do you know so much?" She asked.

"We listen to all the traders and star pilots who come through here. I'm a pilot you know and someday I'm going to fly away from this place" Alina coughed and nudged her brother "With Alina" Anakin added. She nodded, satisfied. "You're a pilot?" The girl asked. "Mhm. All my life" He said. "How long have you two been here?" The girl asked. "Since I was very little, three I think. Alina wasn't even born yet" Anakin looked pointedly at his little sister "My mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt but she lost us betting on the Podraces" He explained.

"You're a slave?" The girl asked. Alina, feeling her brother's temper rise felt her's rise as well "I'm a person and my name is Anakin" He responded hotly. "I'm sorry, I don't fully understand. This is a strange place to me" The girl said. Anakin calmed down at her words. The three of them turned to watch the strange orange creature that had come with the girl. He lightly poked one of the droids on display causing it to activate. It leaped up and hit the other droids. The orange creature picked it up by its throat. "The nose" Alina said "Hit the nose"

"Oh" The orange creature released him before touching the droid's nose which caused it to fold in on itself. Anakin began to explain to the girl about their life here on Tatooine. "Wouldn't have lasted long here anyway if we weren't so good at building things" Anakin said as the orange creature bounced around the room. Soon the other two came back inside along with their astromech. "We're leaving JarJar" the man said to the orange creature. "I'm glad to have met you Anakin, Alina" the girl said as she turned away "We were glad to meet you too!" Anakin called as she exited the shop.

Watto flew over to them grumbling. "Outlanders. They tinka jee-jee know nothing" he muttered. "But they seemed leah tah je" Alina said. The Toydarian gave her a look "Clean ta racks then uba two can bolla bunky dunko" He ordered. "Yipee!" Anakin cheered, hopping off the counter. He turned to Alina "Come on!" He urged as she slid down the counter top. The two rushed towards the racks, eager to return home.

Nah but how can some people hate baby Ani? he's so precious 🥺❤️

Sylvie's outfit

It's from some website called Azalea's dolls but it's not mine since I don't have access to that website for whatever reason.

If any Huttese is wrong pls blame the Lingojam English to Huttese

Outlanders. They tinka jee-jee know nothing = Outlanders. They think we know nothing

But they seemed leah tah je = But they seemed nice to me

Clean ta racks then uba two can bolla bunky dunko = Clean the ranks then you two can go home
