Luke's apprentice

Luke had turned to the dark side. During a great ceremony for the new Republic, he turned his back as a coup was staged to overthrow its leadership. He escaped together with R2D2 and decided to take an apprentice. I had been cast for the role and was rehearsing with him.

Luke was turning out more and more like his father and put me through several tests, which I passed. He acted in a fatherly way, but was brutal all the same, holding his lightsaber against my throat, shaping it with the force, making me look left and right.  In the end he told me to cut off his arm. I hesitated only briefly and then did it in a swift strike. He laughed and we cut the rehearsal.

He was played by Christian Slater who patted me on the back and said that "that was five stars out of five". George Lucas came in and asked if I knew what the role was for. I told him that I didn't and Christian let me know that this was for a spinoff from the main series. Carrie Fischer came in as well, bringing with her the contract and asked if I had representation, talking about a big agency that I can't remember the name of... Cameron? Hamilton? Hamlin?

I tried to decide what to say.
