Thanks to Xaara and to Levanna Evanstar for their efforts to beta-read this story. Other
beta-readers contributed as well. This is the first of my stories that features no Jedi, and I had no idea where it was going when it started. I like to include action in my work and the reader will discover plenty here. My intent was to tell a story about a character who begins to doubt her decision to pursue a life of moral judgement.

Wow, you're a great storyteller! I liked the twist of having Twyla's moral decisions being so wrong.

Although I didn't read the story I think the concept is great. Non-Jedi Star Wars. Not every major event in the Star Wars universe has to include a Jedi Master for the outcome to change the galaxy.

Great job! I agree with Levanna: this definitely deserved to be archived. You've come up with a very interesting concept here--the idea that the concepts of "right" and "wrong" we're taught as children do not always translate easily into real-life situations. For not knowing where this was going at the beginning, you sure knew how to end it! I loved the last line...it fit perfectly in with the rest of the story. This story was truly a pleasure to read.

The story didn't really need Jabba. It already had a Hutt, which could have been Jabba, but I like original characters and Jabba has become just so familiar. I'm not disparaging Jaba, of course. He's an excellent character. I wanted to use a Hutt and I wanted something new.

As for Jedi, the story didn't need them, either. Besides, Twyla Pash had to compete for the interest of the reader with Amidala; I didn't want to increase her competetion by adding Jedi. A captive Amidala does sound like a job for the Jedi, however, and I neglected to account for them. I suppose that the Naboo authorities may have decided to handle the matter without them. They wanted Gesh Rallion since he was familiar with Zet Teevo and he wanted Twyla to accompany him. Anyway, thanks for alerting me to the matter. I may send a revision of the story to the editors. If you're wondering, all my other archived stories feature Jedi.

I haven't read too many fanfics yet, but this one was the best one yet! I've long since grown weary of reading about clichéd encounters using only pre-created characters such as Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, Anakin and the like. It was so refreshing to read a story utilizing ORIGINAL characters!

The action was great too. I love how you smoothly tie in use of the Gungan "bubble" technology to Gesh's acquaintance with Amidala. Nicely done! I look forward to reading more of your stories.

Thanks, ColePierce. To date, my other archived stories all contain Jedi. "Resurgence" is told from the viewpoint of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it is original characters that really drive the story. I think you might like Kwes Dashwen as much as the characters in "Encounter At K'Tarsh". "A Matter of Territory" is told from the viewpoint of an original character who is an Imperial manual labor worker, and all of its characters are original, as are all the characters in "Bitter Retrieval".

Anyway, thanks again. I'm thinking about a new story now, but no promises about an all-original cast.

The Rodian uses this word as an exclamation like "Wow!" or "I don't believe it!". I don't know why this word occurred to me when I wrote this story, and maybe I saw your name. No offense was intended. If you want, I'll contact the editors and request a change. Thanks for pointing it out. I had no idea I had done this.

I liked it, i honestly only read storys without jedis in them. my personal love of star wars is the underworld such as smugglers, and space espionage. I hate reading storys with jedi in em.
