“I heard someone walk out of the alley behind me, and my body went tense and tight, despite my weariness.  Then a young woman's voice said, in a passable British accent, "The Little People are easily startled, but they'll soon be back.  And in greater numbers."
    I sagged in sudden, exhausted relief.  The bad guys hardly ever quote Star Wars.”

“... when Warner Bros. cancelled the financing for Zoetrope, the Apocalypse Now project was abandoned for a while. After the success of American Graffiti in 1973, George wanted to revive it, but it was still too hot a topic â€� the war was still on â€� and notobdy wanted to finance something like that. So George considered his options: What did he really want to say in Apocalypse Now? The message boiled down to the ability of a small group of people to defeat a gigantic power simply by the force of their convictions. And he decided, All right, if it's politically too hot as a contemporary subject, I'll put the essence of the story in outer space and make it happen in a galaxy long ago and far away. The rebel group were the North Vietnamese and the Empire was the United States. And if you have the force, no matter how small you are, you can defeat the overwhelmingly big power. Star Wars is George's transubstantiated version of Apocalypse Now.”

“So you're Dina," I say. "And you two are ..."
"Jacob and Edward," the older one says, and they all start laughing. "Sorry, I meant ... I'm Luke, and he's Han," They stifle smiles this time.
I'm pretty sure those are names from Star Wars. "Right, and I'm Chewbacca," I say.”

“ïƒ� When St. Kari of the Blade Met Luke Skywalker, Star Wars Jedi Knight ïƒ�

“What’s that?� Kari asked pointing to the silvery object attached to Luke’s waist.
“It’s my lightsaber,� Luke said cautiously, not knowing where this was going. “It’s like your sword, only many years advanced.�
“I see me thinks,� grinned Kari, “although I cannot see how such a short object labors as a sword. Can you show me how? Here, block my blade.� Kari pull-whipped her sharp, simple straight edge fast and held it so that its steel shaft was stationed off Lukes left shoulder.
“I don’t want to ruin your sword,� Luke said with a slight grinning shrug. “It will cut your blade in half.�
“No it shan’t. C’mon and try� quipped Kari, her violet-grey eyes dancing with mirth.
Luke felt compelled just a little bit to teach the seemingly uncomplicated girl a lesson in advanced blade-play. He struck at her sword, but to his amazement, the laser did not cut through Kari’s antiquated, plain cross-hilt weapon, as it easily should have. She wryed and smiled.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,� Luke said eyes widening in surprise. “The only thing that resists a lightsaber cut is Cortosis.�
“Let me try cutting at you,� Kari said, her gridelin eyes glittering in delight. As she struck Luke’s sword, the neat humming cylindrical beam of laser light that was Luke’s blade fell as one solid piece to the ground and began to eat itself inward and disappear, both ends vaporizing and fizzling, meeting in the middle and ending with a loud “pop!�
“How did you do that?� Skywalker asked in amazement. “What’s your sword made of?�
Kari smiled. “My sword is made of adamantine eternal belief. It both cut and resisted your blade because I shalled it to. I am she. All swordplay in the ’Halla exists on the edge of belief, something you will have to learn if you are to survive here whilst your sky-ship is being refitted and rigged out. Learn about the ’Halla, Luke.�
Luke awkwardly grimaced. His lightsaber was an amazing piece of advanced technology and here this wispy backwater of a fencing lass had just “out-believedâ€� him, making his well-ahead art of laser swordplay more primitive than the girl’s unadorned straightedge. He remembered Yoda’s words on failure and belief and felt stupid. The word Jedi was not in Kari’s vocabulary, Luke thought, but notwithstanding, she seemed more than a Jedi than he.”

“Part Two: When St. Kari Met Darth Vader, Star Wars Dark Lord of the Sith ïƒ�

“What are those?� Kari shouted grasping Luke’s arm as her eyes jolted nervously into the air. “I’ve never seen such pretty planets before.�
Luke tracked her line of vision and grimmed as he spotted three Corellian Imperial Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace into the same vortex that his own damaged ship was whirlpooled into. They appeared to be stabilizing the vortex opening by their anti-gravity wells maintaining their relative positional orbit.
“Hey’st, what are those white things? They look like men. Surely they are not ghosters, are they?� pawed Kari at Luke to get him to see.
“Imperial troopers,� shot Luke, grabbing her arm back. “There’s too many of them C’mon, we got to hide.�
“What’s does that mean? And what are those red light-thingy’s coming toward us?� Instantly Kari and Luke were inundated by a barrage of suppressing E-11 blaster rifle fire. Luke flinched out of reaction while Kari stood upright seemingly oblivious to the inherent danger. He was struck to see the girl-entity pluck a laser bolt out of the air and examine it with an other worldly look, as if it were a rare flower in a garden.
“I like this,� she smiled. “I’ll pin it to my cloak.� And doing so she did, it maintaining its fiery penetrating redness that did nothing more than to adorn the girl’s wardrobe for quite some time momentarily puzzling Luke. Usually they burnt out quickly. “Can I get some more of these?� she politely asked Luke.
“Not right now,� drawled Luke peering over a boulder. “If they capture us we’ve had it.�
“Had what?� asked Kari naïvely. “Them ghost-men you mean’st? Oh, don’t worry, Walker of the Skies, just leave it to me,� and with that Kari pulled her blade and sashayed toward the Imperial clones humming her favorite Top 10 battle hymns.
“Wait!� Luke shouted trying to snatch her back but it was too late. Luke never saw anything such as this. Like Han, he had seen a lot of strange galactic stuff in his time. Kari had become a misty blur and was skipping across the battlefield as some sort of sword-brandishing luminescence, hovering for a short time over those she slain.
“Hey, Walkersky, these spirits don’t have any souls,� she yelled looking up from her blood soaked garments. What do you want me to do with the rest, kill ’em?�
“I, uh ,� was all he managed to get out of his mouth as he rubbed his jaw.
Kari shrugged and went back to work, picking off the whole brigade by herself. “See’st? I told’st thou not to worry� Kari said panting, coming up to Luke and sitting besides him. “What now?�
“We gotta get outta here before more Imperials arrive.�
“Untruth oats?� (Nether Trans. “art thou nuts?�) “Run from battle?—is that that what means?�
“It means Vader’s coming�.�
