Back in the Pride Lands, things were not looking so wonderful.

After Walter took over, things took a serious turn for the worst. When people began suspecting that something was up when they never saw Queen Heidi, he eventually staged another accident, but this time faking the death. There was no way he was getting rid of his prize. As long as people thought she was dead, no one would come to her rescue. But he continued to use Rhett as a hostage for her.

Things weren't any better for the people either. The lands had dried out, the plants were dying, and many of the animals had migrated their herds and packs to different lands.

What little food existed in the land, Walter took it for himself. And he held the Jedi's children as hostages to keep them in line, including Obi-Wan's daughter. He and Satine had a baby just a few years ago, and to this day, Olivia never knew what it was like to be free or happy.

Sadly, the Jedi were still enslaved. And to make matters worse, Walter outlawed and confiscated all their lightsabers. No one could fight him or object to him as long as he had his cronies.

While Walter forced Satine to sit beside him and feed him grapes, Obi-Wan sat in a cage by Walter's throne, being forced to sing a song for the king.

"Nobody knows the trouble I see," sang Obi-Wan. "Nobody knows my sorrows..."

"Now, Obi-Wan. Do lighten up." Walter said, throwing an apple core at Obi-Wan's head. "Sing something with a little.... Bounce in it."

Obi-Wan thought of something just to bug Walter.

Baby shark, do, do, do, do, do

"No! Not that one!" Walter exclaimed.

Obi-Wan smirked and thought of something else.

Let it go, let it go

"NO! Anything but that."

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and sang another song that he thought sounded rather silly.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, there they are standing in a row, big ones, small ones, some as big as your head."

Walter began to sing along for that last bit.

"Oh, I never had to do something so undignified for Queen Brenda."
"What was that?!" Walter shouted, which had Obi-Wan backing up in the little cage.

"Uh... nothing!"

"You know the law. Never ever mention that name in my presence. I am the king."

"Yes, Sire. You are the king. I... I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches."

Just then, there came a knock at the door.

"King Walter, we need to talk." Ventress bellowed from the other side.

"What is it this time?" Walter groaned.

Ventress kicked the door open and entered with Bossk and Tak.

"We have a bone to pick with you," hissed Bossk.

"I will handle this," said Ventress. "Walter, there is no food, no water."

"Yeah. It's dinner time and we ain't got no stinking entrees."
