Christmas will be new this year.
Um, a holiday? *How do you explain Christmas?*
Ah that makes sense. Why is it going to be different this year?
My life has changed a lot recently, that's all. *That's a safe enough way to describe it, right? Right.*
It's part of life. Things changes as the years ticks by.
Yeah, I guess they do. *Just . . . not usually this much.*
Do I? Probably because of the whole going through a lot thing.
Yeah... it's probably that. Your year must have been rough.
Life's rough sometimes, man. *His whole life's been a Hell of a thing.*
You can say that again. [He sighs at that.] My life hasn't been a dance on roses either.
Oh? What's the matter? If I'm not being too nosy or whatever.
I've been on the run from a tyrannical galactic Empire for the last couple of years.
*Well that's new . . . or maybe it isn't.* Wait, are they shapeshifting body snatchers? *He hopes not, he doesn't want to be the cause of this guy's misery.*
They aren't no. The Empire consists of many species. But none are... "body snatchers".
I suppose wthey could have taken over without you knowing it, but it's not like the fucking things care about having people to rule over. They want to take over more people, enjoy the life of the people they took over or just not die, depending on circumstances.
Yeah... that doesn't sound like the Empire. They seek to oppress and control everyone. They will even destroy entire planets in the process.
Like Aldeeran.
Like Aldeeran.
I'd say I'd take the body snatchers, but it's not like you can choose such things. *And in any case, it's too late. Not that he's about to admit that.*
No, I'm from Balmorra. We survived by bending our knee to the Emperor.
Sounds unpleasant. I take it you were sick of doing that?
I had to flee. My kind are wanted by the Empire.
Your 'kind' being? *Palmer hopes the guy is human, he doesn't need his curiosity piqued. Not on that subject.*
I'm a Jedi. We're an outlawed organization. What little is left of it. Most were killed 20 years ago.
