Work Text:
Just as the turbulence is brewing
They go to negotiate peace
And find instead plots that are brewing
That they now need to cease
As is their duty as they are Jedi knights.
Negotiations were short- you were right.
Look to the future Master Yoda says.
Then towards them the droids roll
The lightsabers begin to dance
These trade route talks will take their toll
But now is not the chance
To dwell on nought but escape.
Those lies they may try to drape
But we’re smarter than their ways.
Running again on the planet surface
The droids close in behind
Mind your step and mind your place
Speaking does not prove a mind.
“Yousa have saved my life
From this droid and man strife
In thanks I must to you pays.”
Down to the core of the GuanGuans
Shortcut back to the political Queen
To protect her as she is the one
They need and they are most keen
To have her for legality sign.
Lightsaber swoops in a perfect line
In one movement tucked in the pocket.
Running back they suffer a hit:
Their attackers they must shake
Look at the little droid that did it!
What an ally they will all make.
Take the handmaiden she insists.
He doesn’t follow her order yet she persists.
“You’re a funny little boy”
Says his angel, beautiful and coy.
The beautiful being that arrived by rocket.
‘I’m a person and my name is Anakin
The only human to build and fly a pod
For my freedom in this pod race I will win,
Over my Master the Jedi shall trod.’
The anomaly leaves behind home
As he takes to the stars to roam
The convergence of Midichlorians may be wrong
But it has never been seen this strong,
For the Force he undoubtedly has it.
The council have a right to fear
Wary of the fears of the boy’s heart
Now that the prophecy could be here
Is it too late for training to start?
The senator is called to step down
Someone new to run this town
And the deals for the trade.
The queen takes them through the wood
Handmaiden in her place lies
The queen steps up as she should,
Mighty despite her size,
She directs them to victory
And the brighter day to see
For a queen is what she is made.
A second apprentice is against the code
Now the battle with him red of face.
For the master it is the end of the road
The apprentice now in his place.
Lightsabers fight fierce, duel of fate
Apprentice cries and is too late.
As it begins, the life does fade.
