LEGO Star Wars Story, Part 54: "The Wreck"

in #story7 years ago


Echo base is about to be seized, luckily the rebels have successfully evacuated most of their soldiers and staff. The few remaining include general Leia and Solo who are desperately trying to fix the Millenium Falcon to evade the oncoming Imperial troops. Luke Skywalker has flown his X-Wing through the enemy lines in order to follow a shuttle which he managed to knock out of the sky causing it to crash in the snow...

It's debris is littered all around and the ship itself is turned on it's side. One of the two massive wings typical for these types of shuttles has broken off and is hanging mostly by the remnants of the cables inside. It is partially enveloped in the darkness which is quickly consuming the endless snowy deserts. The nights on Hoth last for the duration of four days making this event especially intimidating...

The shuttle's one and only passenger, the infamous Sith Lord Vader, walks over two the large hole in the cockpit and looks out. He scans for the X-Wing that shot him but there is no sight of it. All of a sudden a figure appears over the snowy dune, it is Luke Skywalker again, as if he hadn't had enough of him already. Luke is carrying his father's blue lightsaber with which he hopes to strike Vader down...

Vader knows there is no running away from this, there is not enough time to convert the boy to the dark side of the force so eliminating him would be preferable. He jumps down from the hole in the ship which was strangely high since it was angled on it's side. After barely standing up from the snow he ignites his own crimson red lightsaber and starts walking towards the young Jedi.

Their swords clash again in a shower of sparks and shrieks. Vader asks him about what Obi-Wan told him about the force and says that it was all lies. He knows this will not work but placing a seed of doubt into him could cause a much larger reaction in the future if he even survives this. Luke swings his lightsaber like a mad man once again and Vader deflects his attacks with ease.

The night silence is broken just as the darkness is obliterated by the strong lights. A ship emerges form the dark void and brakes through a mountain of snow barely stopping when it reaches their dueling spot fortunately not crushing them. They are both blinded by the lights and stop their pointless battle to observe what is unfolding in front of their eyes.

The ship's draw bridge like door drops and dozens of stormtroopers pour out of the transport. They are quickly surrounded by them with all their rifles pointing at Luke. As much as it isn't a surprise for Luke, it is for Vader. These are Snoke's stormtroopers, and as he recalls he tried to murder Snoke numerous times, so why have they come to help him now? After that a figure emerges from the transport and it suddenly all makes sense...

Nice story, you should compile it into a book or comic.
