Plot summary[edit | edit source]

THE SAND WILL PROVIDE

It is a period of survival in the galaxy.
As war rages on between the Galactic
Empire and the Rebellion, the battle of
everyday survival continues for those
trying to live a normal life.

Between the scorching heat of the twin
suns on Tatooine and the vast deserts
of the Jundland Wastes, the life of a
Tusken Raider is not an easy one. But
when the world has turned its back on
the Tusken Raiders, they always have
the sand to call their home....

Summary[edit | edit source]

On Tatooine, two Imperial stormtroopers encountered a young Tusken Raider and debated what to do with them. Suddenly, an old man took the child. The old man left the child at their home. In his journals, the man, Obi-Wan "Old Ben" Kenobi, wrote that everyone needs a little help sometimes.

Notes and references[edit | edit source]

↑ "The Sand Will Provide" takes place after the formation of the Rebel Alliance, but prior to Obi-Wan Kenobi's death. Star Wars: On the Front Lines dates the formation of the Rebel Alliance to two years before the Battle of Yavin, and Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates Obi-Wan Kenobi's death to 0 BBY. Therefore "The Sand Will Provide" takes place in between 2 BBY and 0 BBY.
