"Um...excuse me? If I could have everyone's attention for a minute."

The hustle and bustle of the bar continues a pace, as if he'd said nothing at all.

"Hello? Can I have your attention, please."

Still nothing. There are drinks being drunk and foods being eaten and hub-bubs to bub.

"Okay...that's it."

A near ear piercing whistle makes it's way through the din. You'd almost expect a fleet of taxis to pull up along side the dirty-blonde haired man standing behind Bar. After all, that's what whistles like that are cultivated for in the first place.

"Thank you. Uh,...I guess I have an announcement to make. Um...first things first. Apologies to those who've had questionable...uh...bar-fare in the last couple of days. There's a refund coming your way if you were inconvenienced in any way. It's been a rough week of transition for everyone involved, and we appreciate your patience.

This brings me to my second point, um...for the time being...."

At this turn of phrase he winces slightly, as if someone had just poked him rather hard in the brain.

"...I will be assuming the role of Head Barman. So uh...yeah. If you've got any concerns, let me know I'll do what I can. If you have any complaints...please keep in mind that I am a highly trained ninja that can kill you in your sleep.

Okay with that said...the Bar is open."

"wooooooow."

Do they even have candy stores where Corran's from? If he doesn't know what a kid looks like in one, he does now.

Oh, they do. They doooooooo...

"Y'know, you folks always do seem to light up when the word 'Jedi' or 'lightsaber' is mentioned..."

"Well can you blame them?"

"....No, not really. Even I was starstruck when I was first asked to become one, finding out my grandfather had been trained as a Jedi. But still... come on! I've met at least a half a dozen other Jedi around here, and even more of us pilots..." He shakes his head. "You'd just think people might have gotten used to it by now."

Pause. "Where're you from, by the way?"

"A galaxy far far away...."

Mike says with nothing but awe in his voice.

"I'm gonna take that to mean Earth. I've heard a couple jokes about 'galaxies far far away' to miss that one..." He shakes his head.

"And honestly? With everyone in here from Earth, I'm almost as in awe of you. Least you know where these folks are talking about." Shrug. "I'd trade a trip to Coruscant for one to Earth any day."

Long as I can get Mirax in here with me...

"There wheres may sound the same, but trust me...the hows and whens are all messed up depending on where you go.

...

If you want to go so bad, why don't you just get someone to open the door for you?"

He hesitates. "Honestly? I'm waiting. Never quite ready to go when I come through the door."
