General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.
A retelling of Finn and Rey’s Epic Reunion Hug™. Written for @finnreyfridays:
*
Rey hears fear resonating through the Force as soon as the Millennium Falcon enters Crait’s atmo. She reaches out and follows the threads of fear, telling Chewie where to go, until they see the source of the conflict: a battle, raging in front of a giant steel door.
On one side, Rey can feel the hatred and vitriol of Kylo Ren, and on the other – just beyond that door – the fear of a group of people who are trapped.
For a panicked moment, Rey doesn’t know what to do. Then she hears Finn’s voice in her head, cutting through the static.
Rey? Is that you? Are you really here?
I’m here, Rey sends, her heart leaping at the sound of Finn’s voice.
I was going to add a whole bunch of clone troopers and make it super epic, but then my energy tanked. I picked a hard angle and all the geometry of the armor… Goodness. I probably just need to be more patient. Perhaps I will revisit this soon and turn it into what I see in my head.
