It's What Goes On In Here That's Hard (Star Wars AU Fanfiction)

Chapter 12. Rescue

Lando stood in the shadows of Jabba's disgusting throne room. The place smelled of alcohol and filth, dim lights kept the area looking ominous unless a band started up a tune.

Bounty Hunters were plentiful here and came in a great variety of species. Jabba's slave women danced in the center of the room for all to watch and enjoy. And then there was the Hutt in general.

Jabba was a huge, slug like creature. He had two chubby arms, more fat than Lando could guess, and huge lazy eyes. Jabba was the very definition of disgusting. But he was also the most powerful figure on Tatooine, and a part of the Hutt Clans, so no one, especially the Bounty Hunters, really cared what the Hutt looked like, as long as he could fill their accounts with credits after doing a job.

Lando's eyes again wondered to the far wall, where Han Solo was kept as a wall decoration for the amusement of Jabba. It pained Lando to see what he had done to his friend, but he was making up for it, maybe Han would even forgive him one day.

Leia folded her arms as she finally came upon the abandoned homestead of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Force calling her to his home.

Leia had not questioned the call when landing on Tatooine. Leaving Chewbacca and the droids behind Leia followed the call til coming upon the house. Luke had spoken of Obi-Wan's home, but had never taken Leia to see it, even when Leia had accompanied her friend to Tatooine so he could honor and remember his friend, Biggs Darklighter, along with his other friends at Tosche Station.

Leia came to the door, opening it slowly and peering inside.

Everything seemed untouched, gathering dust as Leia walked into the main room, little seats and a table, along with small pillars were seen decorating the room with a homely feel, at least for a house in the desert.

But what caught Leia's attention was the chest that sat by one of the pillars. It was a wooden chest of medium size, darkly stained with intricate little designs carved on its lid.

Leia tilted her head to the side as she came to the chest and ran a hand over its lid, her eyes closing as she heard a voice in the distance.

"Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough."

"This is your father's lightsaber."

Leia pulled away, frowning as her other hand fell to Luke's lightsaber hanging from her belt. Sighing Leia took a three-sixty turn, trying to locate what had been calling to her.

Finally she found it. A larger chest further in the back, surrounded by junk. Coming upon the chest Leia opened it to reveal clothing.

"Jedi robes perhaps." Leia reasoned as she began to go through the chests contents, finding strange robes, tunics, and wrappings.

Leia looked upwards. "Very well." She said to both herself and the Force as she began to pick material to make her uniform.

Leia pulled on her newly made Jedi robes, her inner tunic was a light brown while her outer robe was a dark shade of brown. Her pants were black and her boots brown as well. 

She also grabbed a brown cloak and hood, deciding she was not too keen on being recognized in Jabba's palace. Leia grinned at the mirror before grabbing Luke's lightsaber, placing it on the simple leather belt around her waist.

Leia left her room on the Falcon and came to Chewbacca who was looking over his bowcaster. The Wookiee roared in confusion upon seeing Leia in the Jedi robe, only used to see the Princess in white.
