A Jedi tale.
The two jedi masters Keere Jebis and Ngni Diser slowly entered the sandy palace.
The large door shut behind them, cutting off the light from the poorly-lit interior. It was the winter sale season for droids in the hutt palace, and the two jedi required mobile vessels for their highly sensitive jedi equipment.
Keere looked around earnestly. Droids of all shapes and sizes lined the walls. He looked through the various droids and to his dismay realized that there was no stock of red-crystal tinted droids.
"Balkans! None of these droids will match my lightsaber crystal!" Keere let out in frustration.
"Now now, Keere, its better off less people know that your crystal affinity is red
as a jedi master. Besides, you know how the council is always worrying about those who use a red light saber running off and joining the sith." Ngni said, as he proceeded to inspect the droids meticulously.
"tu tu tu, tututu tututtu" A sound could be heard from the other side of the room. The beeping continued as Ngni danced over to the other side of the room like a fairy and located the droid emitting the noise.
"tu tu tu, tututu tututtu" meant "I am meteor shower proof" And this particular droid kept repeating it over and over.
"Oh how cute, this one knows how to advertise." Ngni remarked.
"I dunno Ngni... it sorta looks... like a titanium bag for keeping food warm." Keere said with slight disapproval."
"What? But its so cute! Besides, with such original aesthetic features, I'd be able to locate it instantly if it runs off and tries to hide itself in a droid pile like the last one did." Ngni waved his hand as the droid slowly levitated toward him while continuing to beep.
"Gun gana sa fush garna ka bahgu." Said a voice from further inside the hall, which meant "I can give you a very good price for that one". Emerging from the darkness, it was Jabba the Hutt, slowly crawling forward as he dropped saliva on himself.
"Its incessant beeping is driving my minions out of their mind." Jabba slobbered. "Not that I give a damn, but its not good for customers either. I can go for as low as 200 000 galactic credits."
"What a deal!" Ngni exclaimed as he quickly explored the surface of the droid.
Meanwhile, Keere set his eye on a gargantuan droid.
"Marvelous, with such a big hull, I could force push and pull him like a projectile in battle without having to aim too much." He thought.
"Hey Jabby, give us a discount since we are buying together, will you?" Ngni pulled his droid over to Keere.
"Ho ho ho. You ask for too much, Jedi, greed does not suit you. I will require a sum of no less than 510 000 galactic credits." Jabba slobbered some more.
"You will let us pay 500 000 galactic credits for these droids, no more." Keere said as he waved his hand across Jabba's face.
"Silly Jedi, mind tricks don't work on me! 510 000 galatic credits, no less!" Jabba said as he laughed and slobbered even more.
Keere contemplates testing the projectile function of his new droid on the slug. Sensing this, Ngni quickly turns to him.
"Oh no not again, Yoda's going to bitch if you kill off another merchant." Ngni whispered to Keere.
"Very well." Keere Sighs. "510 000 galactic credits it is."
And so the two Jedi masters make off with their new droids, and Jabba makes off with more credit to get buy more food to get even bigger and waste even more volume in spacetime.
The End.
