[Video - Arrival]

[generalgrievous]

[A skull-like being appears on the network - but no, it's not a human skull and it isn't the creature's actual head. Instead it is some sort of mask, through which yellow eyes glare angrily. These are the only part that looks to be truly alive, however. Much of the rest of his body is hidden by a cloak wrapped around his shoulders, but what other parts that can be seen are robotic, yet skeletal - including a claw-like hand currently clutched into a fist. Some may be able to tell he's some sort of alien cyborg. His metallic voice is harsh.]

Where are these so-called City Guardians and your military operations?

Your explanations are not satisfactory. It was a mistake to bring me here and I demand that you return me to my ship at once.

A cyborg then, like Vader?

[Han forgets it might be before his time and Vader might not ring any bells...]

Name's Solo...Captain Han Solo of the Millenium Falcon.

[generalgrievous]

[Of course he doesn't recognise the name. The future Sith is still Anakin Skywalker to him, and a hated Jedi.]

I do not know this Vader. I doubt that we are anything alike.

[As far as he knows, he's unique.]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Actually, you do. Not then...but after he got done being a Jedi, he started hunting them down. So, there's that.

Well, and the fact that I think there was just as much machine to him as human body by that point.

Oh, yeah, and the breathing...what is it with cyborgs and wheezing, anyway?

[generalgrievous]

A fallen Jedi, you say?

[There's a growl as the rest of the words sink in.]

I do not wheeze and I am no less a warrior with these enhancements.

[Though it seems Han has hit a nerve again.]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Don't worry, I don't plan on testing that out. I'm a crack shot, but I doubt that would do much good.

And yeah, kind of a nasty guy when I ran into him. Still can't believe he used to be a big hero.

[generalgrievous]

A heroic Jedi? The worst kind.

[There was much disdain there.]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

So you say. I guess the old order did make its share of mistakes, though.

[Han may not know much about that stuff, but he does know it's not always bad. He also does know that Luke has said the older Jedi were flawed in some ways. Maybe it wasn't always as good as it was made out to be.

[generalgrievous]

They are arrogant and recklessly destroy worlds.

[His grudge is very personal against the Jedi.]

All the while thinking they are in the right.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

All I know is, I don't know much about it. I don't have any Force, and most of the time, I'm glad.

Sometimes I do get the impression that mistakes were made back then, though. I was a kid, so I don't know much, but from what I've heard...
