The red lightsaber had been taken from me when I was taken back to my cell. The power that the saber gave me is now gone.
As a Stormtrooper delivers my meal, I yank the Stromtrooper against the cell bars, knocking them out. I reach out through the cell bars and slide the key to the lock.
I escape the cell and run, looking for a ship to break out with. I stumble upon a ship room where an invisible barrier opens and closes as Imperial ships fly out.
I climb into a battleship and stormtroopers start shooting at me. I close the ship and start it. The only problem is that the Stormtroopers spotted me and I don't know how to operate a battleship.

I press a few buttons. The battleship chunkily hovers up as I turn the wheel forward. The battleship crashes into the walls and skids along to the departure door.
"Close the door!" A stormtrooper instructs the control room. They close the door but I push the wheel forward, crashing into the door. The battleship repeatedly crashes into the glass barrier door until it cracks and breaks.
I barely fly out of the Imperial spaceship. The battleship has taken on damage, and I don't think it will fly for long. In the empty Galaxy, I feel more alone. All that surrounds the ship is pitch blackness.
I fly for a few hours, all alone. If Tom was here sitting beside me, he'd be so excited to be in space. I've always wanted to take him away from our planet to see the galaxy.
The only planet he ever knew was our own, I've always wanted to explore the galaxy with him.

I send the ship into hyperdrive, and I'm sent to the far ends of the galaxy, where the Empire's reach has not been extended.
I land on a murky green planet, hoping it is a place where I can lay low. I land the ship on a swamp and jump out, exploring the area.

I faintly smell porridge and make my way to a campfire.
Looking around, my gaze drops to an unknown species. He cooks porridge on a campfire.
"Might I have a taste of your porridge? I'm very hungry," I ask. The creature nods. "Thank you," I say, unaccustomed to this gesture of kindness.
He then looks over to my ship which landed a few miles away.
"Out of juice, the ship is." He says pointing to the battleship.
"Oh, no! How will I get out of here?" I exclaim. "Escape, you did?" He asks. "Yes, I escaped from Imperial forces," I tell him. "That in common, we have." He says.
"You escaped from the Imperial Empire?" I ask, shocked. "Hm, a long time ago. Escape here I had to." He replies.
"You mean you've been hiding out in this swamp?" I ask. "Yes. Friends, I've lost. Nowhere to go." He says. "Oh, I'm sorry." "Dagobah is home now, hm?" Yoda says.
"Do you know anything about repairing ships?" I ask. "I do not." He replies, standing with his cane.
I inspect the battleship and see that it is destroyed as he said. I look under the battleship and see wires sticking out.
This could take months to fix. I walk back to the campfire and sigh.
He sees my gloom and walks over to the ship. He closes his eyes in total concentration, lifting his small hand in the air. The battleship lifts off the ground, I stand up surprised.

He lifts the battleship using the Force, he's strong. He places the battleship upright, straining.
"Thanks a lot," I tell him. "Yoda, my name," He says turning to me. "Nice to meet you. I'm Zara." I say, shaking his hand. "You've been so much help, I can't repay you," I tell Yoda.
He offers me some porridge and we eat with the ambiance of the swamp. "So, how were you able to lift the battleship like that?" I ask Yoda. "Force is how." He answers.
"The force, you mean the dark side of the force? Is that how you're so powerful?" I inquire. Yoda's eyes darken. "Evil, dark side of the force is." He warns.
"Oh, I see." If the dark side of the force is just as powerful as the force, maybe I could use both to destroy Dodonna. "Can you mentor me in the ways of the force?" I ask Yoda.
"Dark side, I cannot teach you," Yoda replies. "I don't—" "Dark side of force, you wish to learn. Your intentions, I know." Yoda says.
"It's true, I have an emery I must destroy. I'm weak, so I need a mentor." I say. "To use force, an enemy you cannot have. Discipline, force is." Yoda tells me.
"I can learn discipline," I tell Yoda. "Please, I need more power," "Teach you, I cannot," Yoda says.
