In an unknown place in the known Galaxy, two astromech droids, one who's painting color was silver and blue on it's domed head and a white body, and the other had a white body and light blue, were seen looking up at a large, strange looking temple. Looking around themselves, the droids saw the world looking very different from any other, almost like it was microbiotic.

The two droids looked at each other, letting out nervous beeps. The one with silver and blue colors then started chirping and jumping slightly, almost like saying they needed to do this. The light blue droid beeped again, as if saying it knows before fully agreeing. Retracting a leg from their bodies, the two droids started to roll towards the temple.

Sometime passed, and the two droids were now rolling past many differents objects. Most of them were holocrons and some other artifacts that were placed in different places, almost like someone was looking to gather information.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" A voice in the background asked. "With all of these artifacts you've collected, the droids coming to tell the story from their points of view, this could take an awfully long time to write down."

Rolling from behind a large stack of artifacts, the two astromech droids came to a large room. Besides seeing another sets of holocrons and artifacts, they saw two beings in a middle of an conversation. They were beings from the Ancient Order of the Whills, a community of beings deeply connected to the Force, a metaphysical, spiritual, binding, and ubiquitous power, or an energy field created by all living things in the Galaxy.

"I know our duty is to chronicle events in the Galaxy, but to go and record such an extensive history with one family..."

"I am sure." One of the Whills, simply called the Keeper of the Whills, said. "I feel such an important part of the galactic history needs to be recorded, and how this one family played such an important role in all of it."

The Whill sighed, before bowing their head to the Keeper.

"Very well. May the Force be with you."

Walking to the exit, the Whill nodded their head to the two droids to greet them, before exiting the large room. The astromech droids then rolled further into the room, while the Keeper approached them with a smile. The Keeper then crouched down and put their hands on the droids' dome heads.

"Thank you, my little friends, for coming here." The Keeper said.

The two droids chirped and beeped at the Keeper. The Keeper rose up and walked back to their desk. Sitting down, they opened up a book on their table, titled Journal of the Whills. Underneath the title was drawn an emblem, in the shape of a living sunrise, and the emblem was a winged blade of light. Taking a pen, the Keeper hovered it over the book before looking back at the droids.

"Now, will you help me write down the story of the Skywalkers?"

The droids chirped again, while looking at all the holocrons and artifacts in the table, causing the Keeper to let out a small chuckle.

"That is all right. We have all the time in the Galaxy." The Keeper looked down at the book. "But how to begin this journey...?"

The Keeper started pondering, while the two droids turneid their dome heads at each other, beeping and talking to each other, before looking back at the Keeper.

"Ah, i have an idea." The Keeper looked at the droids for a moment. "May the Force be with me as i begin the sacred task of writing in the Journal of the Whills..."

Pressing the pen on the paper, the Keeper started to write the first words on the book, while speaking outloud.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
