Clown Car Wars
Solo, Luke and Leia are speeding down the road in a battered VW bug. Leia is driving, Luke in the passenger seat, and Solo in the back.

Age has taken its toll on all of them; Leia is the only one capable of handling the car. Age has taken its toll on the car and the road, too; the road is full of potholes and the car seems to hit every last one of them, or maybe that's the way Leia drives.

Solo is grumpy because he's in the back seat, because of the potholes, because he can't find his glasses, because he's no longer the star of the franchise. Leia is grumpy because she has to deal with Solo.

Leia - I don't care how many parsecs you took, that was then, and this is now, and I'm driving.

Luke - I care.

Solo - Except nobody wants your opinion, kid, not when the Princess is bound and determined to hit every farkled pothole in the road.

Leia - You think it's my fault? It's this hutt spawn car, but you couldn't tell that even if you had your bifocals on. Where'd you get it anyway?

Luke - It was legendary in its time.

Leia - I didn't ask you.

Solo - Why are you going so fast? What's your kriffing hurry?

Luke - Everybody talked about it, you know. Even on my backwater planet.

Leia - We have to get to the line.

Solo - What line? I'll bet this car doesn't even have GPS.

Leia - That wouldn't help avoid potholes.

Solo - Then call for Yoda.

The minute he says the name a miniature being appears on the dash. It blinks its eyes at them and points to the left. Leia swerves left, barely missing a pothole.

Solo - That's not Yoda.

The being makes a cooing noise and widens its eyes. It points right and Leia swerves that way past another pothole.

Pedro - It's Grogu.

Along with the being, apparently called Grogu, a person has appeared in the back seat. He's as big as Solo and wearing full armor so he and Solo are a bit squeezed.

Pedro - I'm Pedro.

Luke - Small and functional and easy to repair.

Galen Erso appears in the front seat, sitting on Luke's lap.

Erso - You called for an engineer?

Leia - We didn't call for an engineer.

Erso - You called for a GPS.

Leia - We didn't call for a GPS, we didn't call for anything, we were talking...

Luke - Yelling

Leia - ...about Yoda. We don't need you...

Solo - Chewbacca can repair anything.

Chewbacca now appears, emitting the famous Wookie groan. Possibly because he finds himself between Solo and Pedro.

Luke - The size might have been a problem.

Erso - I brought a GPS, not a measuring laser; does anybody have a measuring droid?

R2D2 appears beside him and immediately sends beams of lasers shooting in every direction. Low power lasers, he doesn't want to destroy Leia's eyesight, she's driving the car.

Leia - Hold on!

The VW hits a bump and briefly becomes airborne ...

Luke - This is Red Five, we're going in.

... and bounces back down to the ground. With yet another passenger:

Porkins - That's a negative, Five, we have insufficient fuel.

Jek Porkins, remember him? He was Red Six, the guy in the XXXL flight suit. Apparently an apt addition to the careening VW.

Leia - Have you noticed that every time we say someone's name they appear?

Solo - That is what's wrong with this franchise, there are so many characters and spinoffs we've lost the focus.

Leia - You mean people aren't focusing on you?

R2D2 beeps and snorts (I don't know what else to call that low sniggering sound it makes) its analysis.

Erso - The droid says this VW Bug is regulation size; that means it will hold up to four people. Uncomfortably.

Solo, however, has a greater problem to address.

Solo - Just don't anybody think of...

Jabba - Ah, Solo, I see Pedro has brought you to me. Are you ready to be frozen again?

Solo tries to draw his blaster, but...

Leia - Don't take that thing out in here.

Jabba - I see the Princess is here, but why is she not in chains?

Pedro - I didn't bring you anybody, Jabba. I'm here to protect Grogu.

He points, everybody looks, Grogu is pointing out the front window.

Leia - There it is! The line!

The line shimmers and thrums across the countryside like a light saber activating.

The VW comes to a rumbling stop just before the line. The doors fly open and out crawl:

Leia,
Luke,
Solo,
Jabba, who sort of oozes out. Does he even have legs?
R2D2,
Erso,
Pedro,
Porkins,
Chewbacca,
Grogu, and
C3PO?

Oh well, we've got everybody else. As C3PO's feet hit the ground, the VW's trunk flies open and out falls a clown who gets up, dusts himself off, gets in the driver's seat and honks the horn.

The VW's bumper falls off.

The clown isn't canon, by the way, he's just there for effect. Neither is the VW for that matter. The clown hangs a U and drives off back down the road.

Solo - So what is so important about the line?

Leia - Don't you see? It's the international date line. Step over it and

Everybody - May the Fourth

Leia - will be with you. Luke. Us. Whatever. It will solve all our problems.

Leia, Luke and Solo step over the line. Everybody else then vanishes, including the clown and VW Bug, leaving Leia, Luke and Solo and a small dust cloud down the road where the VW was.

Leia - So, Luke, what was that you were saying about the Parsec run?

Luke - Parsec run? I was talking about the VW Bug. You know it was the best all around transp...

Solo - I always knew you were a hippie at heart, kid.
