Sunny Day on Tatooine
Since when were you interested in the life of a lizard? I guess it has something to do with the ridges I'm sporting and I'm driving a nice hover vehicle. Or maybe it's the rough scaley skin makes me look rough and all badass...? None the less, We're not here to discuss about why I got your interest- we're here for a deal right? But listen, some things around this town isn't quite the way it used to be. The authority are cracking down or up or sideways, I dunno but it don't seem right. I've lived on this planet since I was a wee tadpole and I've seen my fair share of bullying.
There was this trandoshan I met a couple years ago, he went by the name Roarssk. Intimidating name eh? I thought so too. He was the first guy who actually taught me the ways of Teras Kasi, and he's damn good at it too. He also introduced me to his buddy Skyniss which was another lizard in the same field. I always did get a kick out of the stories that kid came up with and always cracked me up. Him and Roar were like brothers, always together and fought along eachother. I can't exactly tell you in full detail at the moment what happened to the two, but maybe at a later time would be more appropriate.
Yep.. The galactic war is dying off and becoming weak, which I really don't get. Growing up in the parts of Bestine on Tatooine, I always saw these men in white armor walk around. Cities and planets slowly became ghost towns, people were disappearing without a trace. A lot blame it on the Empire for kidnapping them, but I beg to differ cuz they wouldn't do anything like that. When I signed up for the Imperial Arm Forces, nothing in the brochure said anything about kidnapping, or I've been told. Sure the Empire had their secrets and conspiracies, doesn't give anyone the reason to go rebellion. Rebels always called us the bullies of the space and say we're all buncha meanies, not really. In reality it were the rebels who were the "bullies" and "meanies", talking shit about how their power. Nah.. I only signed up to the Empire was they offered better dental benefits, cuz my chompers were in need of some proper care. The way rebels do their dental plan is just... "ghetto". Seriously though, this war isn't really classified as a war, cuz no one is fighting they're always hiding. I couldn't really give a shit, but if I was given a nice DXR2 and some sweet Stormtrooper armor that actually had a helmet that fit to my poor head proportions that'd be nice.
I could also remember when there would be people in the cantina doing their jobs; dancing, playing music, and having barkeeps. None of that happens now, most of the time I just sit in here sipping on my Jawa beer watching strangers walk in saying nothing or saying the same thing over and over. I take naps in here too it's pretty sweet if you get yourself situated in the right spot. I find sleeping under these tables to be nice with that canopy effect with the table edge hanging over. But now I see people sitting on the ground, curled up and facing in these corners like they were punished and sent to the corner. And I'm thinking to myself, The fuck are these nutcases doing?! Ahem.. pardon the language, but I think you get the picture. These people are wasting away staring at the blank wall, doing only bejeezuz knows what. They have no idea what they're missing out, but then again they were humans and mon calamari, they have little interest in violence. Being a trandoshan and having that natural need to disembowel, maime, and beat, I have to surrender to my instincts. I talked to one of these freaks and they told me they were in the search for the force and becoming a thing called Jedi. A Jedi?! I scowled. I never seen these freaks and I don't think I want to, but I've heard stories with their lightsaber and their so-called "force". I shook my head in shame cuz these poor saps believed that being a Jedi was all their life was about. They forget who they really are and what they represent in this entire galaxy. I knew I was never part of the force and I don't intend to "persue" this path because it's a waste of my time. I blame the Jedi for stealing our fighters and killing off our war. I don't know if the war is still going or who the winner-- er if there was any winner announced. I hate being up in limbo.
Nah.. Now a days I just sit in this empty cantina and stare off into space. I end up taking naps here too; they got great tables to sleep under. The table top makes like a great canopy and I snooze to dreamland like a good little lizard. Maybe a stray visitor walk in and sometimes do a little number on the floor, that's always nice to see. I sorta made this my home and "initiated" it to be mine.
Oh hey, you don't suppose you have the time on ya? I got a date with this twi'lek and I'm supposed to meet up with her on Naboo real soon. She doesn't like it when I'm late; last time I did that she got all pissy and gave me the silent treatment. Flowers from Endor are always nice to break that silence and get the groove back. But anywho, I gotta go and maybe I'll see you again in here soon and I'll buy ya a tall glass of Ahrisa. Till then, see ya later and don't let the bantha fart. Heh.
