His wounds were to great.

“Do what must be done.”
Darth Vader leads the way by
slaughtering younglings.

Master Cin Drallig
The Jedi Battlemaster.
No match for Vader.

fight alongside Cin Drallig.
They go down as well.

As she meditates,
a Dark figure approaches
and butchers Shaak Ti.

Attempting to flee,

  1. Hi IT,

    That leaves Yoda, Luke & Leia, right? The twins not Jedi yet. You do some great poetic ideas. Thanks,
