“The Sand Tender: The Hammerhead’s Tale” is a short story written by Dave Wolverton from Stories from the Mos Eisley Cantina, which was released by Bantam Spectra in August 1995. The story has to do with Momaw Nadon and takes place in 0 BBY. Momaw Nadon, an Ithorian, stays on Tatooine after being exiled from his home earth, Ithor, for exposing Ithorian gardening secrets to Alima, albeit under threat of abuse. While residing on Tatooine, Nadon still honored the Ithorian traditions and attempted to adjust huge trees from Ithor to the hot dry weather condition on Tatooine.

On Tatooine, following the Fight of Tatooine, he fulfilled Alima, that was searching for the missing androids. Alima endangered to kill his precious trees if he did not assist him discover those 2 androids. The pacifistic Nadon tried to kill Alima, however due to Nadon’s doing not have experience with tools, the effort stopped working and Nadon was embarrassed by Alima once more. Lastly, Nadon found the reality when he saw old Ben Kenobi in Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina. The old man had the wanted androids. Nadon then concealed in the background when stormtroopers attempted to stop Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon from running away with Kenobi, the androids and a young farm young boy.

After losing the androids, the Imperial Prefect looked for a scapegoat for this failing. Nadon then appeared on the scene as well as informed the Imperial Prefect that he informed Alima regarding Centuries Falcon as well as Alima didn’t report that information. Nadon wanted to swear under oath as well as all set to indicate that in Imperial court. The police officer, taking justice in his very own hand, shot Alima, killing him. Nadon was alarmed and saddened at what he had done, yet a tiny part of him rejoiced, for he as well as his trees were secure. To offset this, he took 2 cell samples from Alima’s remains for later cloning. In keeping with the Legislation of Life, Nadon made 2 clones, to make sure that Alima would pay his debt to the Ithorians– and also Nadon would pay his to Alima. You’ll see, Lando claimed, getting to his feet. This’ll take a little time, however I assume it’ll be worth it. Come on-let’s go talk to my chief designer. The primary programmer was a little man with wonderful blue eyes, a slim swath of hair arcing like a gray rainbow from just over his brows to the nape of his neck, and a shiny borg dental implant wrapped around the back of his head. Luke paid attention as Lando detailed the procedure as well as saw enough time to make sure it was all going efficiently. Then, quietly, he eloped, returning to the quarters Lando’s individuals had actually assigned him. He was still there a hr later, poring uselessly over what seemed to be a limitless stream of celebrity graphes, when Leia found him. There you are, she stated, being available in and glancing at the charts on his display screen. We were starting to question where you went. I had some things to check on, Luke said. You completed currently? My component is, Leia claimed, drawing a chair over to him as well as taking a seat. They’re working on customizing the program now. After that it’ll be Threepio’s turn. Luke drank his head. Appears to me the whole thing should certainly be simpler than all that. Oh, the basic technique is, Leia agreed. Apparently, the difficult part is sliding it past the pertinent part of Threepio’s watchdog programs without altering his individuality while doing so. She looked again at the screen. I was going to ask you if you would certainly be interested in involving Kashyyyk with me, she claimed, her voice trying hard to be laid-back. Yet it looks like you have actually got somewhere else to go. Luke winced. I’m not abandoning you, Leia, he urged, wishing he can absolutely think that. Actually I’m not. This is something that in the long run could imply a lot more for you as well as the twins than anything I could do on Kashyyyk. All right, she claimed, smoothly approving the declaration. Can you at the very least inform me where you’re going? I don’t recognize yet, he confessed. There’s a person around I need to discover, yet I’m not sure yet also where to begin looking. He thought twice, all of a sudden knowledgeable about exactly how weird as well as perhaps even insane this was mosting likely to seem. Yet he was going to need to tell them at some point. He’s an additional Jedi. She stared at him. You’re not serious. Why not? Luke asked, frowning at her. Her response appeared vaguely incorrect, somehow. It’s a big galaxy, you understand. A galaxy in which you were apparently the last of the Jedi, she countered. Isn’t that what you stated Yoda told you before you died? Yes, he nodded. Yet I’m starting to believe he might have been misinterpreted. Her brows raised slightly. Mistaken? A Jedi Master? A memory blinked through Luke’s mind: a supernatural Obi-wan, in the middle of the Dagobah swamp, trying to discuss his earlier statements concerning Darth Vader. Jedi often state things that are deceptive, he informed her. As well as even Jedi Masters aren’t omniscient. He paused, staring at his sister, questioning just how much of this he should inform her. The Realm was far from defeated, as well as the mysterious Jedi’s life might depend on his protection continuing to be a secret. Leia waited in silence, that worried expression on her face. You’ll need to maintain this to on your own, Luke stated at last. I indicate really to on your own. I do not even want you to inform Han or Lando, unless it becomes definitely essential. They don’t have the resistance to interrogation that you do. Leia trembled, however her eyes remained clear. I understand, she claimed evenly. All right. Did it ever occur to you to question why Master Yoda was able to remain concealed from the Emperor and Vader all those years? She shrugged. I expect I thought they didn’t know he existed. Yes, but they need to have, Luke explained. They knew I existed by my impact on the Force. Why not Yoda? Some type of psychological shielding? Perhaps. However I assume it’s most likely it was due to where he picked to live. Or perhaps, he amended, where occasions selected for him to live. A faint smile brushed Leia’s lips. Is this where I ultimately get to discover where this secret training facility of yours was? I really did not desire any individual else to understand, Luke claimed, moved by some unknown impulse to attempt to justify that choice to her. He was so perfectly hidden- and even after his death I was afraid the Realm may be able to do something.
