HOLMES	13 Oct 2002
when last we talked the dark times were upon the time of the tarot. darth vader being one of the most powerful tarot readers in the universe overwealmed many a tarot reader making them stop praticing or follow the dark ways of tarot reading. his master, emperor palapine controled the universe. yet those of the rebels alliance who believed in truth, light and freedm still fought. yet they were now pushed back to the small regions of the far off universe. the last hope of the alliance is to seek an old tarot master, a recluse, who was once known as the greatest tarot knight of the old order. the planet of his residence was called tatootine, (or was it?) where the princess leia was sent on a diplomatic mission that was two fold, to deliver the plans to the great death star giant tarot card, and to seek the help of obi one keneboi alas the rebel ship was taken over and the search for the plans continued. two droids were sent to the planet , why ? only time will tell. young luke woke up that morning and was wanting to go join the space academy, it did not matter if it was the empire or not, he just wanted out. he was told that his family need him another season by his elder, and so he gave of himself for a season. the matraich told the patriach "he cant' stay around for ever, he has too much his father within him " to which the patrach said "that is what i am afraid of" the family farm got the two droids which were being seeked by te evil empire but they did not know it. the droid showed luke a card with the star saying "help me obi one your my only hope" so luke demanded to hear more but the droid acted like a dumb computer. the next day luke had to search out the droid as during the night he took off searching for obi one (that is one loyal computer). the next day luke came across him walking and got into trouble with the sand people. the sand peope were natives of the desert planet and were vicious people. so luke went to check to see if there was any trouble coming his way. he was taken off guard. and knocked unconscious by the sand people. then a tarot song was played which sound like a dragon which scared off the sand people so he was attending to the young man when he saw the tarot computer artoo. some diaglogue ensued when the luke came to. "he claims to be the property of some old obi one kenobi" old ben sit down on the rock and says "obi one ,, now there is a name i haven't heard in quite some time" "do you think he is dead"asked luke obi one said "oh he isn't dead,, least not yet,, see he is me" then they went to cave, where obi one after some consideration gave luke his father tarot cards and explain what the tarot was basically. then they uncovered the message. to which obi one said. you must come with me to alderan. to which luke said that is so far, and obi one said he cant' do it alone,,and "you must do what you must" recalling in his own mnd his own mentor own words from a differnt age "i must do what i must obi one" luke would be going through some difficult times as on his way home he saw a ruin crawler, and thought to himself those who did that would be seeking these droids and took off home. and there he found his burned family by the empire. to which he said he to obi one. "there is nothing for me here i will come with you to alderan and become a tarot reader like my father before me"to which obi on sagely nodded. there they went to a bar to find passage to alderan where a none beliver tried obi one and obi one taught him a tarot lesson which made the non beliver walk away in amazement. (ok ok we all know obi one really cutted off his arm eheh) on the ship obi one was teaching luke about how to use the tarot for mediation, and luke with his eyes closed could tell what card came up with looking. when obi one felt something bad and throw down two card, they came up the tower and the world reversed. and he said " felt thousands of voices, millions of them scream out at once and became silent forever" to which they went to the alderon after that but it was no longer there , and they were captured by the giant star card and they hid to avoid capture. darth vader came by to check and left saying "i felt something i have not felt in great many ages" over the course of next hours, luke and han solo save the princess, escaped with their lifes, while obi one said what he had to do,he had to do alone (he got the chariot and the hermit card) and he said to han "who is the fool, the one who leads, or the one who follows him " and to luke "remember the tarot will be with you always " he disenabled the tractor beam (computer asked him a question who made the tarot , obi one said no one knows but the old master and they are not telling and the computer didnt' know either so it shut down) darth vader at the time was telling the commander of the giant star "he is he, last time i felt the tarot was in the presence of my od master" the commander said "surely he is dead, the tarot masters are dead, and your the only one who remains" then a aleart sounded and dath said"i shall deal with him myself. and left obi one was walking down a corridor just about to the ship when he saw a reading table in the hall. he slowed down.. and standing behind it was VADER. "i been waiting for you obione, the circl is now complete, when last we met i was but the learner now i am the master" obi one said "only a master of dark tarot ,"and threw down his card. and they fought back and forth,, neither gaining an advantage but darth had power, and darkness over wealmiing old ben. "your tarot reading skills are great but your light fades,, "(in the book it says your skills are great but your power fades,in the movie he says your powers are weak old man) some more tarot dealing. darth was using astrology to push back kenobi use of symbology and colors. old kenobi said "you can't win darth, beat me and i will write books to teach my methods even if i cant' do it mself " and luke was watching from the ship as darth vanquished old kenobi. and old kenobi walked away not able to teach no more. (tarot rules from the old tarot wars , we both now darth killed him in the movies eheh) and luke would hate darth vader for vanquishing his hereo. after that luke was in on the attack of the giant star when he got a fax from kenobi,(use the tarot luke,, let go luke,, use your inuition look, trust the tarot , and yourself ) he through down the star card which cancled out the giant star card, hope over came hope misused and thus luke use the tarot to beat the giant star. and at the end there was much celebraton for this was the first victory for the alliance.. and where they go from where.. when THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK turn in tomorrow. :O) (or next day who knows when i will get bored eheh)
