Plot
A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away...

The wicked Vindar have forced their neighboring race in to slavery and have kept an iron grip around their dictatorship. They torture, burn, and kill many of the other race, thus breaking the spirits of most of the race's people. But not the spirit of the defiant Otalp. Since he was young, his den-mother used to tell him of the mysterious "Oracle", which she saw in one of her visions. The Oracle is said to tell tales of the past to give hope for the future. Otalp's den-brother, Remoh, disagrees with this, but only travels with Otalp to escape the misery of their eternal slavery.

When they reach the cave where The Oracle is fabled to live, Remoh repeats the classic line. As they enter the cave, they come across a certain protocol droid, sputtering a tragedey that occured when he was last de-activated. He says strange words, like "ar-too" and "master luke", which confuse the brothers. As soon he starts talking in a understandible laguange, Otalp requests a story from him. Though he admitts to be not that good of a storyteller, he decides, because they came so far, to tell them the best story he knew. The story of young boy from a desolate planet who redeemed a darkened soul and freed the galaxy from the clutches of the ultimate evil using a mythical tool known as a "lightsaber". Just as the storyteller is concluding his tale, the Vindar spot them and blast his head off. While Remoh hides, Otalp tries claims that he came alone. When this doesn't work, the Vindar kill him too. Predicting Remoh will not survive, the Vindar leave to attend other matters. As Remoh gazes over the petrified corpse of his brother, he notices an oddly shaped metal rod poke out of the storytellers mechanical chest. Remoh notices it has a button and pushes it. A glowing, green blade emits from the rod. Realization dawning on him, he starts to think of a way his desolate planet from the clutches of their ultimite evil.

A new era has begun...
