@Insufficient Dakka
Your active systems spark into life. Where are you? The last you remember, you were on that forest moon, Endor, at the celebration of the Empire's defeat.
You're in a dark alcove, evidently an astromech storage cubby, based on the shape and the charging hardware plugged into your chassis. You quickly run a check, interfacing with the systems around you through the convenient hard connection.
Starship. Nubian J-Type 327, modified - Naboo Royal Transport, Serial number...
You let loose a confused, inarticulate burst of chatter - the equivalent in Basic would be something like "Huh?"
Systems Check...
No memory core corruption detected.
No chassis damage detected.
All systems nominal.
You can't help but feel that it's impossible, despite what your systems and the ship's own are reporting. This ship... you hadn't been on this ship in thirty-two standard years. How is this possible?
@Oh I am slain!
You awaken with a cry, sitting bolt upright, hands - Force, your hands, how are they suddenly back? - flying to your throat reflexively. No damage there, no burn; you look down at your arms, and yank back the sleeves of the sleeping tunic you're wearing. Normal, unblemished - albeit weathered with age - skin, no injury there either, and no scarring. There's not one of the near-imperceptible seams that synth-skin-covered prosthetics leave, nor any quiet whirring of servos. You are whole, somehow.
The last you remember was the briefest moment of heat and pain as the Skywalker boy gave in to his hate and executed you. How are you alive? You look about the room, and what you see surprises you. The quarters are sparse, containing little more than a chair and desk aside from the simple bed you are sitting on, and the construction is simple, smooth stone, painted an inoffensive beige colour. You know this room, though the memory is more than a decade distant. Your quarters at the Jedi Temple, when you were still a member of the Order.
How?
@lancelot
You come to amidst piles of semi-organized junk, from old chronos to swoop bike parts, a ratty broom in hand. There's sand and dust everywhere, and you take in the white-tan of the rough-surfaced walls. Tatooine.
Everything seems... bigger. You register that you actually feel something in your hands for the first time in twenty years, and look down at them.
Actual flesh-and-blood hands, rough and callused on the palms, not prosthetics sheathed in metal and black polymers. Your breath quickens despite itself, and some small part of your mind idly notes that you haven't breathed this easily in decades.
"Boy!" snaps a distantly familiar, despised voice. You turn, sensing Watto through the Force before you see the pudgy Toydarian looming, wings beating madly to give him extra height.
What is this?
@Estro
You snap into consciousness, feeling a nostalgic pressure of Force signatures all round you. You open your eyes and glance around in surprise. You are in the Temple, and you feel the presences of the Order everywhere - presences you had felt cruelly snuffed out like candle flames so many years ago. You wonder if this was some sort of afterlife. The last you remember, you were in your hut on Dagobah with Luke, feeling your life fade away.
What is going on?
@UbeOne
You snap into consciousness. You open your eyes and glance around in surprise. You are in the Temple; how? The last you remember, Skywalker had betrayed you for the Force-damned Sith and his lies, and you found yourself hurled out of a window, crippled by plasma-shocks, and then there was a sudden impact and oblivion.
What?
@Alpha Zerg
You snap into consciousness. You open your eyes and glance around in surprise. You are in the Temple; how? The last thing you remember was the burn of a lightsaber from that Force-damned Sith, Palpatine. How?
