A Long Time Ago...

Plot Synopsis


The crew travels to Xardania, home to an ancient Jedi temple to understand Marty's dream and learn a little Jedi history.

Plot Summary


Marty goes to Belinda about the dream he had regarding the deaths of his friends. At first Belinda blows him off but then realizes he's dreaming of a real place and a real historical figure and they decide to journey to Xardania to determine why Marty is dreaming of a long dead Sith.
On Xardania Belinda, Marty and Captain Smith find the Jedi Temple just as it was in Marty's dream. Belinda notes that the presence of a black alter is a bit unnerving and Marty is simply glad that his friends aren't dead, a part of his dream he failed to mention to them earlier.
Belinda prepares to turn on the holographic generator and view the historical scene of the place, at which point Marty realizes the whole place is actually a museum. They view a projection of the great battle which occured between Darth Creepius and Una, a Jedi who rallied the others to fight against the Sith.
It turns out that no one knows what happened to either Creepius or Una after their final battle as neither body was ever found. We are treated then to a scene of that battle but still the outcome remains unknown, it does however seem that Una trained one of Belinda's ancestors.
As they are leaving the temple they are assaulted by a group of overeager tourists and Marty looses his temper, cutting down the cameras angering him so much. Belinda expresses her thoughts that the whole event was a little unexpected but they move on none the less.
After they have left Darth Creepius appears on the altar explaining to no one in particular how he has escape his horrible prison and that soon the Jedi will know his full wrath.
