"Help me, Anakin Skywalker. You're my only hope."

The young princess played on and on like a broken record, the only audience watching was: Luke Skywalker, a young farm boy from Tatooine, and his two new droids.

"Who is she? She's beautiful." The 19 year old boy stares at the girl. She was beautiful, this was a true fact anyone could see. So beautiful that he didn't even bother listening to the message she played.

"I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. I think she might've been a passenger on our last voyage." C-3PO offers from his limited memory, "a person of great importance, I believe."

"Help me, Anakin Skywalker. You're my only hope."

"Anakin Skywalker?" Luke repeats as he hears the message, "Skywalker? Do you know who that is?"

"He says that he is the property of an Anakin Skywalker. He's a residence of somewhere in these parts." C-3PO translates the beeps coming from R2D2.

"Do you have the rest of that recording?" Luke asks the little droid, more like demands it. Luke has always wanted to know more about his history, someone with the same last name as him has to be a good bet. He has to be related to him.

The two droids then begin to argue about trusting their new master with the recording.

"He claims that it's a private message for him. Quite frankly, sir, I have no idea what he's talking about. Our last master was Captain Antilles. But with all we've been through this little R2 unit has become a bit eccentric." 3PO tells his master, apologetically.

"My name is Luke Skywalker." Luke tells them, "My Aunt and Uncle never told me my fathers name... Do you know if this Anakin Skywalker had a son?"

But the little R2 unit didn't have the response that Luke hoped for. He beeped and whirred but the translation was: "R2 says he doesn't remember. I'm sorry Master Luke, us old droids find it very difficult to keep track of our memories."

The blond haired boy sat down in front of the hologram, his fist holding his jaw. He was stumped. But just because he didn't remember, doesn't mean it can be ruled out. Luke wanted to help in any way he could. He thought hard about what the droid had said, that he was a resident here.

"Anakin Skywalker? I wonder if he means old Anakin Starkiller?" Luke squints his eyes at the hologram.

"I'm sorry, sir, but do you know who it is he's talking about?" 3PO asks.

"Well, I don't know anybody named Skywalker, besides myself, but old Starkiller lives just beyond the Dune sea. Kind of a strange old hermit.." Luke explains. Then he stares back at the hologram of the pretty girl, "I wonder who she is. It sounds like she's in trouble, I better play back the whole thing."

But when Luke motions to mess with the tape, R2 beeps frantically in protest. Luke takes a step back to see what 3PO has to translate:

"He says the restraining bolt has short circuited his recording system. He suggests that if you remove it, he might be able to play back the entire message."

Luke stands there a moment, entranced by the damsel in distress. He looks at it like he's in a movie.

This could be my ticket off of this waste hole.

Then Luke is snapped back to reality by 3PO no longer talking.

"Oh, oh yeah no problem. I guess your too small to run away on me if I take this off." He says, going to find the tool to use to take off his restraining bolt from the Jawas.

Luke has always been good at fixing things. Sometimes he thinks that's why his Uncle keeps him here. Because if he goes to the academy and something breaks who would fix it? Luke was fine with this excuse at first, but now since he's 19 and all of his friends have gone off to the academy, while he's stuck on this farm it's not good enough.

He's felt lost. He understands he needs to help his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen but he really wants to fly. Already in just a couple of training courses he's proven to be the best in at least all of Tatooine. His friends have been pushing him to join them, but he can't. He's stuck.

"Okay... There." Luke says, taking the bolt off and freeing R2. But the moment it's off, so is the recording. "Hey! Wait a minute, where'd she go? Bring her back, play back the entire message."

R2 only responds with a beep that almost sounds like the most innocent human "what do you mean?"

"The one you were just playing!" 3PO hits the top of R2's head, "The one you're carrying inside your rusty innards."

"Luke! Luuuuke!" Aunt Beru cuts off the interaction.

"Alright! I'll be right there!" Luke rolls his eyes, annoyed that his ticket might just be gone.

"I'm terribly sorry, but he seems to have picked up a slight flutter." 3PO apologizes to his new master.

"Here." Luke places the restraining bolt into 3PO's hand, "See what you can do with him. I'll be right back." Then Luke runs off to go see his Aunt and Uncle, with a lot of important questions.

"You must reconsider playing that message back for him." 3PO looks at the little droid, who responds with a few beeps,

"No, I don't think he likes you at all."

Beep.

"No, I don't like you either."

Sad beep.

Fun fact!

Anakin Starkiller was George Lucas' the first draft of a name for Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars: A New Hope!
