The camera pans over the nighttime skyline of Coruscant skyline as it follows a speeder between buildings and around plazas, an announcer calls out in a jovial voice. “From Coruscant! The number one planet in the galaxy to be trapped on! It’s Coruscant Tonight with Javiv Aurbeshman! Tonight! The Vice-Chancellor tries to talk to us about economics and war, and Javiv tries to get her to talk about anything but that! Then, the top twenty most funny Imperial failures caught on camera! Then the Donka Lite Diet, fad or fat buster? And now the man who eats more Donka than Donka himself, Javiv Arubeshman!”

The camera shifts to a Gran wearing a Hinch brand suit striding quickly into a cheering studio as a band plays a jovial Jizz tune, ending on a long riff as the crowd cheers.

“Very nice! Thank you so much! Thanks! Thank you very much! Looking good yourself! Thanks! Thank you! Welcome to the program I’m your host my name is Javiv Aurbeshman, that there’s our musical director Bobolo Baker, Hi Bobolo nice to have you here again!”

A Bith in a suit waves to the camera “Thanks Javiv always happy to be here!”

“Well folks it’s an incredible show we have tonight! Now our first guest well, you know who it is, please welcome one of our favorite Guests, Vice Chancellor Varriss Of Ovee!”

Varriss enters smiling and waving before walking over to Javiv and shaking his hand

“Thank you for coming Vice Chancellor!”

“Please, just Varriss will suffice.”

“Very well Just Varriss” He replies with a laugh. “Now I must admit, I hardly recognized you, you’ve wearing something different than your usual style! I dig it!”

Varriss nods. “Indeed, I received a letter from one of our Brave Soldiers, and they said that it would be a good reminder to the Republic of the importance of standing against the Empire if I were to wear a uniform alongside them as I am a Commander in the RRR.”

“Well it looks stunning,”

“I’ll pass your compliments to the fine designers at Freiheit-Saoirse”

“Surely you had some input, we know you sew most of your outfits”

“They designed it, I just have them a few specifics and they sent me the pattern”

“Now this isn’t a standard New Republic uniform, just RRR correct?”

“For now yes, but hopefully I can convince the NRDF to adopt it as well,”

“I wish you luck with that! But until then shouldn’t the Vice Chancellor wear a NRDF uniform?”

“I’m not officially part of the New Republic Military, but I am a Commander in the RRR, so I wear the uniform of my command, if I commanded the third NRN Navy I’d wear their uniform, or the New Republic Rangers I’d wear their uniform. I am only going to wear the uniform of the rank and Command I have earned.”

“I see, that makes sense. So Varriss, when we invited you here we said we wanted to talk about the war, but part of the war is getting to know who’s leading the war so our soldiers know they’re in good hands and that their leaders are like them with similar values and such,”

Varriss blinks and forces a smile “Oh, of course”

“So how do you reconcile being a Jedi with being in such a high position of power, after all, doesn’t that position of being the Vice Chancellor come with, well decisions where you have a plan around emotions and attachments that Jedi don’t typically have?”

Varriss nods and thinks a moment. “Well, I think that’s a flawed argument, and based on a misunderstanding of what it means to be a Jedi” Varriss replies thoughtfully. “Just because I am a Jedi doesn’t mean I don’t have emotions or love, it only means I don’t let them control me. I still weep, I still care, I still feel fear and anger, but I don’t let it control me or affect my actions I will do the right thing, whether or not I am angry, sad, happy, or any other emotion. My possessions, while limited, I like to have, but if needed I won’t hesitate to give them up. This dress is nice, but if I have to jump a sewer to save someone, I wouldn’t hesitate out of fear of ruining my dress.”

“I see, now folks we will be right back in a moment with more questions for Varriss here, but we need to take a moment to thank the people who keep us on the air, but we’ll be right back!”

The Screen cuts to a commercial.

Commercial one.

A cheerful voice starts singing as the camera pans to a CGI Theme park

“What if there was a place with all the fun of Donka Chocolate?”
“Wouldn’t that be the sweet-sweet-sweetest place in all the galaxy?”

The camera zooms through a colorful world of pure imagination and rollercoasters

“Where the River’s made of chocolate, and the mountain tops are cream,”
“With fun and games and rides for all the moms and pops and kids!”

The Camera shifts to construction work being done across a massive landscape

“Well it turns out there’s a place with all the fun of Donka Chocolate”
“Come on down to Donka Land and see it for yourself!”

The Camera has a label “Coming soon” on the bottom as it shows the half-finished buildings with CGI completion as a kid’s voice takes over and the the Camera shows a kid zone full of Ewok tree houses in a chocolate forest

“Ewok Kingdom’s lots of fun for kids like you and me!”

The camera shifts to a palace full of geese and a deeper voice takes over

“The Golden Goose land is an eggcelent place to be!”

The Camera shifts to what looks like a landed candy spaceship with a rollercoaster in it

“Zip on to the Donka cruiser for intergalactic thrills!”

The Camera moves to a chocolate lake with a bunch of underwater Gungan-like structures full of rides.

“Under the syrup ocean there’s a chocolate treat to see!”

The Camera shows a place with a steak restaurant and the voice goes back to the original voice

“The Donka steak restaurants will give you your fill!”

The Camera shows a main street filled with people

“The friendly streets of Donka Land will put a smile on your face!”

The Camera goes to an overview as CGI parents and kids run into the park.

“Now you know there’s a place that’s just as great as Donka chocolate”

“Come on down to Donka Land and see it for yourself!”

“A vacation that refreshes, a trip you won’t forget!”
“A park with every minimum Munn safety standard met!”
“Take a bite of fun at Donka Land!”

Commercial Two.

The Camera pans to a massive arena at night, a door near the top opens with a bright light as a young man strides out, his eyes are intense, he is determined as he looks at a lightsaber sitting on a stone on a pedestal at the center of the area.

A firework launches and the crowd cheers as he enters a spiked walkway hundreds of feet above the fiery ground and runs skillfully across it, laser blades swinging and making him dodge as lightning flashes in the sky and the action is cut between flashes of light!

With a dramatic leap he avoids the final blades and leaps onto a spinning climbing wall, the sections of the wall turning and trying to toss him off as he valiantly and rapidly ascends to the top!

“It is more than a trial by fire” A dramatic announcer states as powerful music plays “It is a rite of passage!”

At the top he takes the lightsaber and ignites it a shield bridge activates, showing him the path forward across the arena, as he starts to walk across a massive lava monster emerges from below taking the horrific shape of a Palpatine/Zillo-beast hybrid and swiping at him! “A challenge to join the elite!” The man is undaunted and dodges! “And if you succeed, If you can master your fear.” He slices the creature’s arm off. ”Outsmart your enemy and never yield even to yourself.” He slashes it across its chest and it falls back into the fiery pit from whence it came! ”You will be changed forever!”

A burst of fire flashes over him and he’s wearing a Dark blue Uniform with a white helmet and belt. He salutes

“Neither Imperials, Nor Pirates, Nor War will stop the New Republic Postal Security Service!”

Text appears on the screen.

The screen returns to Varriss and Javiv. Varriss now has a cup of Caf and seems slightly apprehensive.

“Welcome back everyone, I’m Javiv and this is my very special Guest, Vice Chancellor Varriss Of Ovee. Now before we left we were talking about being a Jedi and Vice Chancellor.”

“That is correct.”

“So you said that just because you’re a Jedi it doesn’t mean you can’t have love, is it safe to say you have people you love?”

“Of course! My Padawan Nefi, my Mother, my Sister, my brother, and of course all my lovely nieces and nephews! And then of course my homeworld, the people I represent, and Outer Rim, the New Republic as a whole! In fact, we Jedi are called to act selflessly and with love for all! What we’re not supposed to do is get possessive and treat people like our things, we’re called to love selflessly. Even our enemies we are called to do our best to save, to help and to lead to a better path whenever possible.”

“So you’re not possessive when it comes to love, how does that work in a relationship, like hypothetically a Zygerrian Padawan Princess and a Velmorian Duke?”

“Well, in that case, she would love him, but she doesn’t own him, they’re partners, equals. If he were to die, she wouldn’t miss him for the feelings he gives her, but rather she would miss him himself, if that makes sense.”

“I think so?”

“Let me put it this way, I like Caf because of the flavor and energy boost it, benefits me, I like what it does for me, but I don’t actually like Caf for Caf’s sake.”

“Okay?”

“Another way. Let's say someone likes being kissed by their partner, that’s perfectly fine. But if the partner is gone, and all you miss is the feeling of being kissed by that person, then you didn’t love them as much as you loved what they did for you.”

“That makes sense”

“So if you have a relationship built on that, where you love a person because they do that thing for you, then it’s possessive, you see them not for themselves, but as your kissing toy. But if you truly love and value them, they could stop doing those things, and you would still love them. If they love you back they probably won’t stop doing those things, but you get my meaning.”

“I think I do. So you can love someone, as long as you love them for them, not what they do for you.”

“Yes. And you don’t possess them. If something happens and they die, or go away, well, you cherish the time you had, but you don’t try and force them to stay, like you might do if you think you own them.”

“Wow, sounds like you have it figured out. So when do you plan to put it into practice yourself?” Javiv laughs

“Ah” Varriss makes an odd squeak-like sound. “Well, that’s rather personal isn’t it?”

“Don’t worry, I’m just kidding around,”

Varriss laughs. “Oh good! I was going to say, it sounds a bit unprofessional to rub it in.” She blinks “I……” She pauses “You can edit that out right?”

“It’s live.”

“So then I don’t suppose you can edit out me asking you to edit it out.”

“Nope.”

“Ooops….” Varriss laughs “Well to be honest it's not something I’ve really focused on. I paid for an SKT pass and I’ve still not even used it. I sadly don’t have a lot of free time for things like relationships.”

“Speaking of relationships, I’m sure you’ve heard what the Chancellor said about her heritage?”

“Yes, despite my typical avoidance of tabloids even I couldn’t avoid hearing about it.”

“You don’t seem very surprised?”

“It's not really important, it's just a bit of gossip that’s all.”

“She’s the daughter of Darth Vader.”

“And?”

“Well, perhaps she has some of that darkness in her?”

“That’s not how the Force Works!” Varriss laughs. “Look at her record, that is her. It's the Empire that wants you to start thinking that just because she’s related to Vader changes something.” Varriss pauses. “And if I may, before his corruption into Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker was one of the bravest, most noble, heroic, loving, handsome, and caring Jedi in the order. Anakin was driven into madness, it wasn’t his nature. So as long as we don’t let a Sith Lord corrupt Leia Organa, then even if she doesn’t fall far from the tree, she will continue to be a fantastic person.”

“Well that’s all the time we have right now folks, thank you Vice Chancellor for coming on and, well let’s hope you get to use that Ski pass soon!”

“Thank you Javiv! It’s always a pleasure!”

“Next up, our top twenty Imperial fails caught on Camera, if you’ve never seen an AT-AT walk headfirst off a cliff, then you’ll want to stick around, after these messages.”
