[Anakin is somewhere in Jeopardy, leaning against a building with his hands in his pockets.]

So...those of you labeled as "villains"...

Does it bother you? Have you been treated differently because of it? Actions do speak louder than words, which means, of course, if you haven't acted on it, most people probably don't even know.

[He looks away, surveying something to his left with a critical eye.]

Can a "villain" become a "hero"? [The quotation marks are implied with his voice. Anakin doesn't think much of the ranking system, yet it's all correct, isn't it.]

[Private to Luke]

What happened? [He knows something is very wrong, but the details are murky.] Do you need me?

That does make it easier and lonelier. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I mean, it does make things easier to be here without any of the normal baggage between my species and yours, or any of the issues I'm having with other Reptilians. And I've found people to connect to here. But it would sometimes be nice to have someone with some first hand experience on what the deal is back home.

Is that your species? Reptilians? [He nods, understanding.] Most people here don't even know the many, many alien species on other worlds. I'm asked about my world when they should be asking about my galaxy.

Yeah.

I've just sort of come to accept that they mean universe when they say world. But yeah, any alien species here is something new and novel to them.

It has been years since I have spent this long on one planet. I'm used to traveling through the stars.

I'm not totally unused to it. I was on Earth for a pretty long time back in my home universe, but my home planet was about nineteen light years away. It's different here, knowing that there's nowhere else to go.

It's claustrophobic. [He takes a deep breath and rests his mechno-arm against his abdomen.] What is your world like?

My home planet? It's tidally locked to its sun, so it's always day on the side of the planet people live on. The far side of the planet is a dark and frozen tundra, so no one lives there. Reptilians on the planet live in basically this habitable ring on the side that's always day. It's hotter than most of Earth, but not too hot, and there's a lot of rain. If you get closer to the area right under the sun you get desert. It actually rains a lot there, too, but it's so hot there that the rain never hits the ground, so no one lives there either. Then, right under the sun, there's a hurricane.

Wow. That sounds like a rough place to live. [A little like Tatooine.] I grew up on a desert planet myself where it rarely rained. We had to rely on ships for food and supplies most of the time.

Well, it rained a lot in the swamps that were further away from the sun. So it was wet, but there was plenty of food. Mostly fruits and grains and insects, but there's plenty of it. And then we have a lot of neat fungus that glows in the dark.

I take it back, it sounds like a Reptilian paradise. Of course a human would be eaten alive by the bugs.

It is the Reptilian homeworld. I'd expect us to be well adapted to live there.

Good point. My home world was...not the world I would have chosen. I wasn't well adapted to it.

Yeah, your home world seems like an...odd choice. Why would your people settle a planet that's all desert when there are so many planets with more than one biome? Or at least better biomes?

We were slaves, so we didn't have much of a choice. [It's a sore subject, but not as sore as others might suspect. Anakin is proud of his mother.]

Oh. Right. I...guess that would explain it, yeah.

[After all, no one would settle on a desert planet, but he could see someone using human slaves to mine one.]

I'm guessing you escaped that, though? Judging from your original post.

[After all, he doubted too many people went around considering whether they would always be villains if they spent their life working away on some desert planet.]

Jedi came to Tatooine when I was nine. They sensed my potential and took me from my mother. She eventually married a man who was able to free her, but...she died.

[She was horribly murdered; a crime he repaid with a lot of blood.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[All of that. That they'd take him away from his mother instead of saving his mother as well, and that she eventually secured her freedom only to die.]

I should have taken her with me. I should have come back sooner and just...broken the Jedi rules.
