was a tough problem. A very tough problem indeed.
No doubt about it, he would have to wait until some other day to figure out how to say the words in just the right way. Or the day after some other day. Ken smiled and gave Luke Skywalker a little nudge as they watched Han and Leia embrace. Luke waited until just after Han’s and Leia’s lips separated before pulling on the hyperdrive thruster, boosting their velocity far above light speed. ZWOOOOOOSH! There was a blurry flash!
And then they were gone!
Glossary
Avabush spice
A spice that acts as a truth serum, also brings on sleepiness. Often it’s baked into sweets, such as candy-flavored buns.
Bantha
A mammoth creature as large as an elephant, with tremendous looped horns. Ridden by Tusken Raiders as a form of transportation.
Bespin
The giant, gaseous planet where Cloud City is located. Bespin is located in the Bespin System. It has a core of liquid rethin metal, but its prosperity comes from the resources of its Tibanna gas mines. The Empire maintains a barge on Bespin that floats just above the Rethin Sea, with many factories for making war machines. Braze
A word that is short for "brown haze," much as the word "smog" is short for "smoke and fog."
Carbonite
A substance made from Tibanna gas, plentiful on the planet Bespin, where it is mined and sold in liquid form as a fuel in Cloud City. When carbonite is turned into a solid, it can be used for keeping humans or other organisms alive in a state of suspended animation, encasing them completely.
CB-99
A dusty, slightly bent, old barrel-shaped droid hidden in a secret room in the palace of Jabba the Hutt. He has a hologram file containing Jabba the Hutt’s will. Chip (short for Microchip)
Ken’s personal droid, who lived with him in the Lost City of the Jedi and has now gone out into the world with him.
Cloud Police
The force that keeps the peace by enforcing the laws of Cloud City. Their leader is Chief Muskov, who does the bidding of the governor of Cloud City. The Cloud Police have a tradition of trying to remain neutral between the Alliance and the Empire. Jabba the Hutt
A sluglike alien gangster and smuggler who owned a palace on Tatooine and consorted with alien bounty hunters. He was strangled to death by Princess Leia, choked by the chain that held her prisoner in his sail barge at the Great Pit of Carkoon. Jawa
A meter-high creature who travels the deserts of Tatooine collecting and selling scrap. It has glowing orange eyes that peer out from under its hooded robe. Jenet
An ugly, quarrelsome alien species. Scavengers, they have pale pink skin, red eyes, and sparse white fuzz that covers their thin bodies. They are sometimes known to hang out in the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Kate (short for KT-18)
A female, pearl-colored housekeeping droid that Luke buys from jawas on Tatooine as a housewarming gift for Han Solo.
Ken
A twelve-year-old Jedi Prince, who was raised by droids in the Lost City of the Jedi. He was brought to the underground city as a small child by a Jedi Knight in a brown robe. He knows nothing of his origins, but he does know many Imperial secrets, which he learned from studying the files of the master Jedi computer in the Jedi Library where he went to school. Long an admirer of Luke Skywalker, he has departed the Lost City and joined the Alliance.
Kip
The planet where Zorba the Hutt was kept prisoner for illegally mining gemstones. Mos Eisley
A spaceport on Tatooine, made up of low concrete structures. The cantina at the spaceport is a dangerous place, a hangout for many outlaws and fugitives. Ranats
Cunning and small, these powerful pests are ratlike aliens, with rodent tails and sharp teeth. They have now settled into Jabba’s palace on Tatooine. Repulsorlifts
Repulsorlifts keep Han’s sky house, Trioculus’s factory barge, and even Cloud City floating in the air.
Rethin Sea
The liquid metal core of the planet Bespin.
