I don't claim to own anything related to the galaxy far far away, and I would rather not anyways. (Same goes for Walmart.) Yes I'm doing the opening scrawl and you can't stop me.

STAR WARS

THE CLONE WARS

Deception has been uncovered within the Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi has disappeared after tracking the elusive bounty hunter, Jango Fett, to the rocky planet of Geonosis. As the Jedi Knight nears the discovery of a sinister plot, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala follow his transmission signal, only to discover a battle droid factory. Across the stars in another space-time, the life of a young woman will be changed beyond comprehension...

"Ho...ly...shit." I congratulated, patting my fellow employee on the shoulder. She had been spending the entire day arranging the packs of soda to look like R2-D2; and I mean the whole droid. The astromech reached the ceiling and was truly a spectacle. "My nerd heart is screaming, Darce! I'd never be able to go that high, let alone build something like that."

She had spent all day and well into the night to finish the statue in honor of the cutest droid ever. I readjusted my blue vest and pulling up my cargo shorts. See, I never wore any of the really girly clothes; unlike Darcy who was never seen without a skirt or dress. My brown wavy hair was put up into a messy bun, as it could get into trouble when I wasn't looking.

"Same, though you could have helped a little. How much extra do you think I'll get in my Christmas bonus?" Of course she thinks of the money first. Then again, she did have an apartment to rent and food to buy. See, we worked at our local Walmart; restocking the shelves and making images with the products. It was close to Christmas, and that meant close to the new Star Wars movie.

"Nope, no way. You know how I feel about heights. Wait, what happened to the box on the leg?" I asked, pointing to the empty hole. The box above was beginning to bend, and then it toppled. So many boxes collapsed around me, until one hit me on the head, and another in the chest. I gasped for air, feeling my broken ribs scrape together. If it wasn't heights, of course it had to be tight spaces. I couldn't deal with claustrophobic, cramped areas unless I was focussed. "Darce! Get me out of here, you know I'm claustrophobic!"

"Kate! I'll get some help." And like that Darcy was gone, leaving me to suffocate. I almost laughed at the stupid way I was hurt. I could almost see the headline now: Woman Killed by Packs of Soda. The panicked footsteps drifted away, and my world became black.

--Clone Wars--

I woke up shivering, quickly curling up to preserve heat. "W-W-W-What t-the hell?" I chattered out, sound returning to my senses. The clanking of gears and buzzing of welding filled my ears, as well as the smell of oil and metal. I opened my blurry eyes and peered at my surroundings. I was in a large factory that seemed to be making something in assembly, though I couldn't quite tell what. A loud boom jolted me and made my head clear enough. I eventually felt the eyes of someone behind me, and turned to see who it was. A young adult wearing a long brown cloak was staring at me in confusion, holding what looked like a broken metal handle.

"Who are you exactly?" He asked me, looking me over.

"I could ask you the same thing." I retorted, shakily standing up. If I was really thinking I would have instantly recognized him. Any conversation we were about to start was cut off by a man in Mandalorian armor and several droidekas dropping down from a higher platform.

"Don't move Jedi." He said, pointing a pistol at the man. "You either." He faltered, not expecting a third intruder.

"Oh my God, is that Jango Fett?" I backpedaled away, earning a warning shot by my leg.

"What did I just say?" He asked me with a 'no bullshit' tone. I raised my hands in surrender, not wanting to be killed as soon as I arrived. Two Geonosians grabbed my arms and dragged me away into the depths of their hive. I didn't attempt to fight them, too busy marveling at my dream come true. We were eventually thrown into cells, the entrance walled off by ray shields.

"Well this is just fantastic." I muttered to myself, resting my aching head against the sandstone wall. There was a single chunk of wall taken out at the end of the hall to act as a window, though I could only see the orange cloudy sky.

"You're not from around here, are you?" Came the gruff voice of Jango. I looked over to see him sitting at a small table for guards.

"I wish. Trust me, this universe is way better than mine."

"You're not a Jedi, and you don't look like a senator, so who are you? Why were you with that Jedi?"

"Listen here, Jango. I don't know how I got here. I was on my home planet far from here, then I woke up on the floor of the factory." He chuckled at that, clearly not believing me.

"Well, doesn't matter whether you teleported across the universe or not. We can't have you telling anyone about what we're doing. Have fun in the arena." He stood from his seat and walked out of sight.

"Oh, don't worry. I will." I said to myself, taking a nap to clear my head.

Okay, so I know this was a really short way to start it off. Trust me, though, the next chapter will be much longer. All of the arena and Count Dooku.
