HAN AND Chewie quickly left the hold area to sprint towards the cockpit. As the two ran off, Freya overhears Luke getting real excited over how well he did in the training with the helmet on.

"You know, I did feel something." Luke says grinning as he held the helmet, "I could almost see the remote."

Ben had a proud smile on his face, "That's good. You've taken your first step into a large world." Ben says.

Freya looked away from what appeared to be a master and his student, knowing she had probably stayed her welcome with listening in, she had decided to head to the cockpit.

"Excuse me," Spoke Ben.

Freya had halted by the entrance of the hold area. She turned around to see Ben standing there looking at her, her eyes draft behind Ben to see Luke awkwardly walking.

"Yes?" Freya asks.

"Before we left Tatooine, I apologize that I overheard something spoken between you and Han Solo." Ben says, "Something about a special ability."

Freya grins and shakes her head, "It's nothing, old man. It's just- It's nothing." She says.

After she said that, Freya walked off.

Luke walked over, the lightsaber off and attached to his belt. He placed the helmet on the floor and stepped next to Ben.

"What was that about?" Luke asks.

Ben cocks his head to look at the young man, "Oh nothing." He says, "Just a feeling."

Luke looks at Ben in confusion.

"Now, let us go to the cockpit." Ben says.

Ben ushers Luke towards the cockpit. The two walked down the corridor to the cramped cockpit.

{A NEW HOPE}

FREYA STEPPED into the cockpit to find Han and Chewie in their respected seats. She stood behind Han's seat and was looking over some of the controls on the wall behind him.

"Stand by, Chewie, here we go." Han says, "Cut in the sublight engines."

Han pulls back on a control lever, outside of the cockpit window the stars begin to streak past, seem to decrease in speed, then stop. Suddenly, the starship begins to shudder and violently shake about. Asteroids begin to race towards them, battering the sides of the ship.

"What the-?" Han exclaimed as he quickly began to stir through the mess.

Freya holds onto Han's seat, "We've come out of hyperspace and into a meteor shower?"

Han kept his gaze on what was in front of him, "Some kind of asteroid collision. It's not on any of the charts." He says.

The Wookiee flips off several controls and seems very cool in the emergency. Luke comes into the bouncing cockpit, his eyes briefly meeting Freya's before nearly falling onto Han's seat.
