Dear Atrama, Can we please visit a planet with beaches next? I keep meeting people who haven't seen one and that's terrible. It's actually a crime where I come from.

It's a short silver gold magical IT'S A LIGHTSABER A RED ONE Either that or just give me Mihawks.

Please thank you love Dorothy.

[S-she could be!]

Well they might think I'm being very polite. It can't hurt!

You have a point there. But from what I understand, if you want a lightsaber you have to make one yourself. And, you know, be a Padawan.

I could be a Padawan! What's a Padawan?

[I'm from 1989, whoops.]

[ Hera will always be confused about these people who seem to know what a lightsaber is, what a Jedi is, but aren't from her galaxy. ]

An apprentice.

Oh! Of course. [They never covered that in the movie. But Darth Vader was an apprentice, so-- oh well, besides the point.]

I could be a Padawan! How can I be a Padawan?

I don't know. You'd have to ask one of the Jedi. Try Obi-Wan.

I'm asking him right now! [Well, no. They kind of got distracted talking about love and Anakin. But SHE WILL.]

You're not a Jedi, then? Are you a rebel?

[ It's still so strange to Hera, having the rebellion talked about so openly by strangers. So publicly, for anyone to see or hear. And yet, nothing has come of her admission to others. The Empire really doesn't seem to reach to whatever galaxy this happens to be. ]

I'm a squadron leader in the rebel alliance, yes. Not a Jedi.

You're a pilot!! Have you ever met Luke Skywalker? Or Wedge!

[Wedge counts, she guesses. She assumes all these Star Wars people are from the same time.]

I haven't heard of them, no. I know of a Skywalker, but his name isn't Luke. He was a Jedi, and before my time.

[ Well, she's spoken to Anakin a couple of times, but technically he's dead, or should be, or something. Whatever. Timelines. ]

You'll probably meet him eventually! He's very famous is the one you met Anakin? He's also famous I think I'm not sure

[For entirely different and terrible reasons.]

I suppose so. In my world not many people talk much about the Jedi anymore, so it's hard to say who is famous anymore.

Why not? Did they do something wrong?

some bad people are pretending they did, and spreading lies about them.

[Oh. Of course.]

You don't believe them though, do you?

Of course not.

That's good. The empire is a terrible liar about anything like that.

Yes, they are.

It's all right. I bet everyone will know one day and they'll fall apart.

If I have anything to say about it, yes.
