[For a moment Luke’s very blue eyes fill the screen. Then he pulls back, adjusts something so the video focuses, and you see that he’s got a viewport behind him, with streams of flying Coruscant traffic. He looks serious, a bit worried, and he's wearing someone else's oversized shirt. Each word is carefully enunciated, so there's barely a trace of

[Tron's one remaining eye goes wide. There's a child with the Outworlders again??? Oh no, oh no, oh no! Now that he knows what children are after the explosion at the children's hospital, this worries him greatly! Quick, someone put him in a giant hamster bubble!

This one seems to know where he is, though, which means he's at least not too far out of his element. Maybe that means he'll be able to keep safer. That makes him settle at least a little.]

The people you're seeking may not exist in this time. You're familiar with this world? It will probably make things easier to understand if you are.

[Empathic Luke is empathic, even across a screen. And he's thirteen! He's faced at least one giant dragon; give him a rifle and he can take care of himself!]

Mister? You okay?

I don't know what you mean. But this looks a lot like some of the old parts of Imperial Center, before they built over the spires... they used to call it Coruscant.

[tronja307020]

[He looks a little confused at the question. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of all this Force sensitivity, or what it means, so the thought that the young User has sensed his own emotions.]

I'm fine, why?

[And he nods, giving something of a smile. So he was from this Universe's future. It would most likely make his transition easier.] It is Coruscant. At least when we are, it's still called that. [And then he gets a curious head-tilt. Tron has been here a while, but he still isn't learned in the history or future of this System.] Why did they change it's name?

[sand_wormie]

[In this case it was the non-powered kind of empathy, and he was reacting to facial expressions. Dismayed people worry him.]

You just seemed startled.

Weird. They changed the name, or... change... I don't know... when the Emperor starts doing things to differentiate the Empire from the Republic. Dunno why that name, though.

[ Tsuna gives a small smile. He doesn't see many children around, let alone children who know what they're talking about seemingly. ] Perhaps if you ask at the temple they can help you get a message to home if it's within this universe. I'm not sure this device will reach that as far as you need.

There's been a lot going on here to get that sad, and angry feeling. You should be careful around here.

[sand_wormie]

The temple? I... would they help me? I'm not part of whatever religion they follow. [...people familiar with SWEU, you can stop laughing.]

I should get a rifle. But I don't have any money on me...

[allformyfamily]

My apologies, I was referring to the Jedi Temple. I don't see why they wouldn't help you get word back home if you're form here.

[ The rifle comment gets a small chuckle ] Which may or may not help. A friend of mine got this blaster gun for himself, and it was eaten in his first fight. [ Shakes head ]

[sand_wormie]

Jedi? ...Huh. I didn't think there were any left on Imperial Center. Wouldn't Darth Vader and the 501st...?

Oh. Well, I'm more used to slugthrowers; they're more primitive, but they work. Either way, I think it's better to use from a distance. They're not melee weapons.

What happened to your friend?

video; I'm gonna be veeeery slow. I'm at work

[notyourlight]

[The one person Anakin wanted here more than anyone was his uncle... but not like this. This was just a kick in the teeth. So you're going to have to deal with a slightly grumpy looking Anakin.]

You're Luke Skywalker?

[sand_wormie]

[Have a faint frown.]

I don't know any others, mister.

[notyourlight]

I don't either, actually.

[He reaches up running a hand through his already disheveled hair. He hasn't been this stumped in quite a while.]

My name's Anakin.

[sand_wormie]

Skywalker's not really a rare name. There's a Skywalker wine... I wonder if I'm the only Luke? [There is such a wine. He's tried it, and thought it tasted terrible.]

Anakin? That's a Tatooine name, but you don't look Tatooinian.

[music_and_leeks]

You should stay inside for now. There's a terrible sickness going around!
But I'm sure you'll be able to get your message through, and go back home when it's safe...
[manages a kind smile, her caring big sister mode kicking in. She really hope nothing happens to this boy. He's so adorable! He reminds her own her own little brother...]

[sand_wormie]

Huh. What kind of sickness?

It's dangerous everywhere. On Tatooine, if the heat doesn't get you, something else will.

[music_and_leeks]

At first it seemed like just the flu, but them symptons got worse and people started dying, then coming back as horrible monsters.
It's really scary...

You must be pretty well endured to live in such a harsh enviroment!

[sand_wormie]

...Oh. One of those diseases. They're always real tricky...

Everyone there's like that. No one can stay underground forever.

[initformoney]

It ain't an Imperial Center, kid. It's the Old Republic. Don't ask how, I don't get it myself.

[...wait.]

.....Luke Skywalker?

[sand_wormie]

This looks exactly like old parts of Imperial Center, and it's got the same galactic coordinates - 0, 0, 0. They used to call it Coruscant, but all the charts were updated since the Republic changed.

Yeah, that's me. Why?

[initformoney]

Yeah, it's Coruscant now. Can't be Imperial if there's no Empire, right?

Cause you look a hell of a lot younger than the Luke Skywalker I know.

[sand_wormie]

...Weird. I guess it's a better name, anyway.

Maybe you know a different one?
