Alternate Ending By Noah Stanich
Now was the time, Darth Sidious would turn the clone troopers against the Jedi. And that’s exactly what he did. He would also destroy Geonosis, since he had no use for the battle droids.
The Jedi had to stop this. They had stolen the plans to the Death Star, and were planning to attack it. Their mission had to succeed.
Anakin was qualified to fly a starship and he was the backup repairman. He was ordered to stay at base unless the repairman’s ship was damaged. The mission began. Once the starships were in range, they were almost immediately damaged.
The repairman was flying in between other ships and enemy fire. It was not an easy task. After about 10 minutes, the repairman’s ship had been hit by a laser. His ship was damaged, but he managed to fly back to Yavin 4.
Anakin had been called in and was about to set off to repair ships. His ship was specifically designed for repairing, as it could not fire and had several buttons for several tools to repair ships.
As he launched the ship, he felt unfamiliar with the controls as he hadn’t flown a starship since he was 9 years old. He had done simulations, but that wasn’t like flying a real starship, especially when the fate of the galaxy rested upon you.
He pushed the throttle forward and started going. He instantly swerved out of control and almost crashed into the side of the base. However, he managed to get his ship under control and flew out of the base. He saw a massive round object above him.
It was the Death Star. And several small objects were orbiting around it. They were the rebel X-Wings. Anakin flew towards the massive ball in a matter of a few seconds. His ship was one of the fastest models in the entire galaxy. He saw blurs of red and green as lasers flew by. Several explosions filled in the gaps of space between the lasers and the Death Star.
The intercom crackled on and Anakin heard the message clearly. There was a damaged X-Wing near the North Command Sector. It would needed repairs immediately.
Anakin flew towards the Command Sector, narrowly dodging lasers as he flew to the top of the ship. There, he saw a ship falling to towards the Death Star. His ship had an arm that extended out to carry ships. He extended the arm out to catch the ship mid fall. He retracted the arm and went to work on the ship.
He had been trained well, as he had nearly repaired the ship in just 10 minutes while managing to avoid enemy fire. But as he finished the repairs, he saw a laser aimed at him. The arm was extending out again, and Anakin wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Anakin quickly swung the ship to one side. But it was too late. The laser hit the arm directly in the middle. The arm snapped
