Jolu followed Luke's landboat all the way to Obi-Wan's hideout, a humble hut perched on a hill on the southwestern edge of the Sea of Dunes.

Despite its inconspicuous appearance, Chiru, who is a Force Sensitive and Guardian of Jeda's Holy City, recognized the building the moment he saw it:

"This is the knowledge base of the Jedi. It should have been completely destroyed by the empire in the Jedi Massacre, but I didn't expect there to be one on such a remote planet. ”

"I think this should be the last batch."

An old man in a robe, with white hair and sideburns, came out to greet the crowd, and it was none other than the reclusive Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose knowledge base of Jedi Knight was preserved by his profound knowledge of the Force.

Obi-Wan was followed by two volunteer robots, one tall and one short, C-3PO and R2-D2, who recognized Captain Andor for the Rebel Alliance, and happily greeted him:

"Oh, Captain Andor, it's great to see you here. Did the rebels send you to save us? Landing on such a remote and barren planet, I didn't expect to find an organization in the first place······"

"Beep-beep-"

C-3PO chatters endlessly when it encounters people, and R2-D2 can't speak so they can only make beeping mechanical sounds, both of them are robots that have been following Princess Leia for a long time, and Captain Andor certainly has an impression of them.

"Alright, C-3PO and R2-D2, I'm here to save your master, Princess Leia, did she leave you any information?"

"Dido-"

R2-D2 plays back the video of Princess Leia stored in her body, which is presented to everyone in a holographic projection.

"Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, you worked for my father during the Clone Wars many years ago. Now, he begs for your help against the Empire. I'm sorry I can't deliver my father's request in person, my ship is under attack, and I'm afraid my plan to bring you back to Audrang will fail. Now I have information that is vital to the Rebels, stored in the body of this R2 robot, my father will know how to recover it, you must ······ this robot"

Before Princess Leia could finish her sentence in the holographic projection, a violent explosion forced her to interrupt the video, once again indicating that she had been captured by the Imperial Army.

In this video, Chiru realizes Obi-Wan's identity and asks him in surprise:

"You're Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader's former master?"

"I'm sorry I taught such a scum." Obi-Wan said apologetically.

Darth Vader personally killed a large number of Jedi Knights, and brought great fear and pain to the Rebel Alliance, all of which he was partly responsible for, and Obi-Wan could not forgive himself.

Luke interrupted the conversation and said, "Don't talk about this yet, my family is wanted by the Empire, please find a way to settle them!" ”

The only ones who are not in the situation are Luke's adoptive parents, Owen and Belle, although they were entrusted by Obi-Wan to adopt Luke, but after all, they are just ordinary farmers, who have worked hard all their lives, and have never thought of rebelling against the empire, so it is obviously not suitable to take them with them to participate in the war.

"I'm sorry, Luke, I can only keep them in hiding like I've been hiding here." Obi-Wan said helplessly, and then changed his words:

"But Luke, you are going with me to Hollande, for I am old for such a thing, and I must be helped by a young man."

Luke resolutely objected, "As long as Uncle Owen and Aunt Belle are here, I won't go anywhere." There are so many people here who can help you, why do I have to do it? ”

"Because you are the chosen one."

Although Obi-Wan was reluctant to tell the truth, Chiru, who was sensitive to the Force, hit the nail on the head and said, "I can feel that the Force in you is different and has more potential than anyone I've ever seen." ”

The last person to be considered the Chosen One was Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, who also degenerated into the current Darth Vader, so Obi-Wan wanted to take him away, hoping that Luke could make amends for his father's mistakes.

However, Luke doesn't know anything about it today, but is inexplicably accused of being the Chosen One, and has no idea what this means.

Just as everyone was talking, Qiao Lu felt a trace of unusual breath, as if the air suddenly became scorched, and the planet Tatooine, which was already very arid and hot, suddenly became even hotter, as if the only trace of moisture in the atmosphere had been squeezed dry.

He suddenly realized something, turned around and shouted to everyone:

"Lie down !!"

Before the others could react, a scarlet beam of light pierced the sky and fell straight into the desert, and in an instant, a dazzling fire rose up, and the dust raised soared into the sky.

Just like a nuclear explosion test in the middle of the desert, the high temperature of the explosion near the point where the beam landed caused almost everything to vaporize instantly, and the sand was melted into a syrup-like liquid that spread further around.

The huge shock wave swept everything around it, and the entire desert seemed to be turned into a rough ocean, and the sand set off huge waves that covered the sky and the sun, like a depth charge dropped on the calm lake, forming violent ripples and spreading.

At the same time, the terrifying heat radiation hit, and the other animals living in this desert, including wet-backed lizards, sandmen, Jawas, etc., were all entangled in the flames at the moment when they saw the beam energy burst, and before they were overwhelmed by the surging waves of the sand, they were burned into a charred corpse.

All this came so suddenly, if it weren't for Qiao Lu's keen sense of the sudden rise in temperature by a few degrees, I am afraid that he would not have realized the coming of the crisis.

It was the Imperial Star Destroyer's turbolaser cannon, a weapon enhanced by creating a beam of particles in a normal laser cannon, which was then directed through another stream of blasting gas that was then electrified.

The excess capacitance in the turbolaser turret, which stores a huge amount of raw energy, will continue to charge the particle beam as it flows towards the barrel, eventually emitting a huge blast beam that falls to the ground, resulting in the scene just seen.

There was more than one turbolaser cannon fired, and there was a huge Imperial fleet above the orbit of Tatooine.

Without saying a word, they carried out indiscriminate orbital bombardment on the entire planet, and anyway, the empire has tolerated this planet where smuggling and criminal activities are rampant for a long time.

Now the new hatred and the old hatred add up, and they have sent a doomsday-level saturation orbital bombardment on the entire planet.

Long before humanity entered the era of space colonization, it had the ability to bomb its home planet into a wasteland, and now in the interstellar age, although it is not enough to destroy the entire planet like the Death Star, the Imperial fleet also has the ability to keep the planet Tatooine alive!

The Empire's prideful foundation is its space power, and now that Emperor Palpatine has ordered it to attack, the Imperial fleet has become even more brazen in attacking.

The commander of the Imperial fleet, Admiral Tag, laughed proudly, "I heard that in the hands of a Jedi, a lightsaber is almost invincible, so let them bounce off the main guns of the Star Destroyer." The Force is nothing more than a ridiculous trick, the Jedi are no longer suitable for this era, and the fleet is the most loyal weapon of the Empire! ”
