This is the start of Part I: The Clue.

"Chancellor Organa, what a surprise to see you here," Mom smiled as she opened the door. Chancellor Organa was standing in the doorway, wearing a smile on his face.

"I'm so sorry to come without notice, but this is urgent. It's about Anakin," he stated as he and Mom sat down on the couch.

"What happened to him? Is he alright?"

"Oh, I really don't know about his condition. In fact, I have a clue about where he might be,"

"What about Old Ben?" I interjected. "Wasn't he almost assassinated all those years ago? And didn't he disappear after that?"

"Yeah, and that's exactly what happened to your father, Luke. Do you remember that night...ten years ago?" Mom clarified.

"I think I was asleep. So, Your Excellency---,"

"Please, Luke, call me Organa," Chancellor Organa requested.

"Organa, you said you have clues about where my dad might be hiding,"

"Well, we were able to track him down on Tatooine,"

"Tatooine?" I questioned. Of course. Why does everybody go to Tatooine? Well, it's just a planet full of sand. Nothing there, except for podracing, Mos Eisley cantina, Jundland wastes, the Sarlacc Pitt, and the Force forbid---Jabba the Hutt. If one doesn't like any of those options, then they're out of luck.

I remember Dad telling me he hated sand because it was coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere. He also told me that he hid out there after Order 66 for two months. I also recall wanting be just like him when I grow up because he was brave and selfless. My history teachers thought the same.

"Yes, Luke. We are sending some allies there to fetch him and bring him home," Mom answered.

"But what if he doesn't want to go back?"

"We'll cross that bridge if we get there. Luke, your mom and I will be accompanying the handmaidens to Tatooine,"

"Yes. Luke, you and Leia better keep this house clean, or else. And make sure C3PO doesn't mess anything up," Mom instructed.

"But mom, can I join the search?" I whined. "I haven't seen Dad in forever. Please?"

"Luke, I'm sorry, but it might be unsafe. There are Jawas there and the Sarlacc Pit,"

"But I know where the Sarlacc Pit is! I can avoid it,"

"Sorry, Luke, but this is an adult matter,"

"I'm nineteen!"

"Luke, please," Mom coaxed. "This is an adult matter. You are too young to go on this mission. It's very dangerous. I don't think you're capable to handle such matters. Now, please find Leia and tell her where I'm going,"

"Fine," I moaned. I didn't understand. Why were they treating me like a child? I'm nineteen. I'm of age. Don't they see that? I can totally handle it.

I went off to go find Leia. Except, she wasn't cleaning the house, as Mom expected. She was talking to some very familiar guests.
