Synopsis:
A Rebel trooper and a scout trooper, both
having been abandoned by their respective sides and neither knowing
who won the battle, run into each other. After attempting to take
each other captive, then agreeing to a truce and talking, the
Imperial noted how stupid the Rebel strategy in the battle was.
They run across some Ewoks, who take the Imperial captive but leave
the Rebel free. The Rebel has the Ewoks let the trooper go,
explaining that they didn't touch him because, unlike the
stormtroopers, his uniform and training was not designed with the
sole purpose to intimidate, something that does not fit into a
peaceful society.
The two go to the station that housed the second Death Star shield
generator, and see it destroyed, realizing that the Rebels have
indeed won the war. They pick up a distress beacon and follow to its
source: a crashed Imperial Star Destroyer. The scout trooper uses
its navigational beacon to contact a passing freighter to take them
off-world.
When it lands, however, he agrees with the Rebel that he has no
place in the peaceful society that the Rebellion will make now that
the Galactic Empire is defeated, and decides to stay behind. |
