PART 2

The members of the Jedi Council, currently only 7 are present on Coruscant, quickly gather themselves in the sacred Jedi sanctum. Jhon reports to the Council that the Dark jedi have raided Bespin & stolen some of their holocrons. The Council senses that a new war may soon erupt. Under Luke’s guidance, the legendary 12-member Jedi Council on Coruscant was re-established. Both Luke and Leia are current members of the Council. However, neither is present on Coruscant to hear Jhon’s report of the Dark Jedi’s attack on Bespin. Jhon’s report to the Council ends with the news that Bespin has been left in near ruins as aresult of the assault.

Unaware of the assault on Bespin Mara & Luke are light years away – in the Bendu Crossways securing badly needed supplies for the various Jedi training facilities. Upon returning to their Jedi starship C-3PO & R2D2 inform them of the attack on Bespin & stolen holocrons.

Meanwhile Han & Leia are away negociating, on the outskirts of the New Republic teritory, with the Raverons – a dangerous alien species that lives in the Unknown Regions, concerning on of Lando’s mining facilities – located outside of the Raveron teritory.

At the republic Senate, Lana – Han & Leia’s eldest granddaughter – is a member of the Senate – which is in a hot debate on how to handle the Dark Jedi debacle at Bespin. Some senators want to get involved while others seek to ignore that matter & want to let the Jedi handle their own problems.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Dark Jedi is elated to learn that some of the holocrons have succesfully been taken from the Jedi. The leader is currently at the Dark Jedi’s Cloning Facility, which is located on an artificial comet hurtling through the space. The leader is using this facility to make clones of Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker. The Dark jedi plan to fulfill Darth Vader’s prophecy that he & Luke should rule the galaxy as father & son and bring peace and order to the galaxy. The Dark Jedi are using imperial DNA samples of Vader to produce a clone of the Dark Lord of the Sith and are using DNA samples from Luke’s severed hand to produce a clone of the venerable Jedi Master. Slywalker’s severed hand is currently owned by one of the chief Dark Jedi named, Spiden.

The leader of the Dark Jedi is angered when he learns that the information contained on the holocrons has been encrypted. They must now find some one who can decrypt the safeguard that prrotects the invaluable information located within the holocrons.

Meanwhile, Spiden hatches a plan to leak the Dark Jedi’s efforts to clone Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker to agents working within both the New Republic and the Raveron. Spiden hopes the leader of the Dark Jedi will be destroyed by either forces from the New Republic or the Raverons so that he can become the new leader of the Dark Jedi. Spiden leaks this information to both sides. Both New Republic and the Raveron plan to intercept the Dark Jedi comet, which is hurtling through space near the Sluivan system.

Also, Spiden contacts Luke Skywalker and asks the great Jedi Master to meet with him on the planet Sluivan. In a volcanic cavern on Sluivan, Spiden tells Luke that Spiden has something that Luke might want to have BACK. Spiden places Luke’s hand, which is stored in a small preservation chamber, in the missle of the cavern between the two. Spiden tells Luke of the Dark Jedi’s plans to clone Vader and Luke. Luke is horrified upon hearing this news. Further, Spiden offers to give back Luke’s hand in exchange for a duel. It becomes clear to Luke that only the winner of this duel will be able to keep the hand. This is the only way Luke has a chance to become a fully human again without any bionic implants.

Luke tells Spiden that he is only half the man he used to be in his prime. Spiden replies to Luke that he has no problems with striking down an old man like Luke because Spiden’s own FALLEN HERO, Darth Vader, had no problem striking down the aged Obi-Wan kenobi on the Death Star. Spiden draws his lightsabres; one in each of his hands as is Spiden’s fighting style. While Luke may be many years older than Spiden, Luke was still many times more powerful in the ways of the Force than Spiden. Luke is so powerful that he no longer has to rely on weapons for protection. With a quick throw of his hand, Luke uses the Force to send Spiden plummeting over a cliff located at the edge of the cavern. Luke picks up the small chamber containing his hand and leaves the cavern. Luke plans to head back to Coruscant
