Haikuesday: Cloud City

Anoat Sector
Gas giant on the Ison
Home to Cloud City

Lord Ecclessis Figg,
Creator of Cloud City.
Maintained from EU.

Mining colony;
Casino in Bespin’s sky;
Cloud City has wealth!!!

Famous casino:
Pair O’Dice…no, I did not
just make this place up.

Planning to visit?
City climate is controlled,
wear what you want to!

Rey’s Survival Guide –
Cloud City postcard in it
says: “Wish You Were Here”

Haiku Addendum:
That’s right, tourists can purchase
Cloud City postcards.

Haiku Addendum:
That’s right, post-stamped mail is used
in the Star Wars “verse.”

Bespin’s Tibanna,
the gas used in “drives,” “turbos.”
Hot commodity!!!

Tibanna Supply,
disrupted by mining droids.
Sir Corto seeks help.

Carbonite frozen
Tibanna is easy to
galactically ship.

Han Solo lowered.
Leia shouts, “It will be cold!”
“I know,” he responds.

Image and music.
Vader is pure evil when
Solo is frozen.

The City’s Baron
Lando Calrissian, one
handsome looking man.

The Admin’s Palace,
home to the City’s Baron.
A Battlefront Map!!!

Apex Overlook,
luxury plaza in the
heights of Cloud City.

If you’re Apex bound
you’ll probably see Nobles
who are exiled.

Noble Court member
Elenzia trains allies
at the Overlook.

Lounge for the wealthy,
the Paradise Atrium.
Voras hangs out there.

Haiku Addendum:
Voras the Hutt, leader of
Ivax Syndicate.

The Shadow Market,
home to shadowy figures
such as the Kouhun.

Working in the clouds,
Ugnaughts do grueling labor
and play with droid heads.

I have to be frank:
I like the Bespin Wing Guard
uniform design.

Haiku Addendum:
If ever I cosplay I’ll
be a Bespin Guard.

Elayah Mordu,
a former Wing Guard member.
She freelances now.

I’m a big fan of
the Storm IV Twin-Pod Cloud Car.
One hella cool ship.

Skywalker takes a
sky walk and learns about his
sky walking father.

I can’t help but think
that Rey’s Cloud City postcard
is a subtle hint…

If right, I’ll say this:
“Yes, YES, my brain is better
than everybody’s!!!!!!!!“

Hanging upside down
from the City’s bottom side
is really unsafe.

In the City’s bowels,
Owacchi’s betrayers live.
Vile pirate scum.

Following Endor,
an Iron Blockade locks down
City and Sector.

The Iron Blockade,
led by Adelhard and Bragh.
Their own “Empire.”

Destroyer orbits.
Captain Tystel seeks help to
Protect Cloud City.

Name: Kars Tal-Korla,
well-known local miscreant.
Scourge of Cloud City.

Hired by Lobot,
“The Scourge” captures Borgin Kaa,
Imp sympathizer.

A Broken Blockade.
New Republic and Wing Guard
work to clear out Imps.

Lando with Lobot,
the friends discuss victory
and a baby gift.

Ahsoka Tano (March 2017)

Darth Vader (April 2017)

The Battle of Scarif (May 2017)

The Truce at Bakura (June 2017)

Queen Amidala (July 2017)

Ryloth (August 2017)

Haikuesday: Queen Amidala

Unique Politics:
Young, female monarch and an
old, male Senator.

Queen Amidala.
Elected at age fourteen.
Leader of Naboo.

Her first name: Padmé.
Comes from Sanskrit origin.
Its meaning: lotus.

Hindu Religion –
Padma, the sacred lotus,
symbol of beauty.

Vibrant and lovely,
rich with color, the flower
and Queen Padmé’s gowns.

“Queenliest flower”
wrote poet Toru Dutt in
Sonnet: The Lotus.

Growing in ponds, lakes.
Untouched by water or mud.
The lotus is pure.

We literally watch
Padmé blossom as Queen in
The Phantom Menace.

Goddess Shri-Lakshmi,
depicted with the lotus.
Shri-Lakshmi…shmi…shmi.

I’m not gonna lie:
teaching Hinduism in
haiku form is tough.

Trade Federation.
Blockade of peaceful Naboo.
Iron-willed Padmé.

Not wanting a war
but war is forced on the world.
What will the Queen do?

Inquisitive Queen.
“You’re a Gungan…” she asks Binks.
She’s never met one?

Haiku Addendum:
One would think that Naboo’s Queen
has met with Gungans.

Bodyguards, decoys.
Like their highness, they are brave.
The Queen’s handmaidens.

A clever disguise!
The Queen dresses as one of
her own handmaidens.

Sandy, sun scorched world.
The Queen wishes to learn more…
…by sending herself.

I have to be frank:
I’m sure Qui-Gon Jinn knew that
Padmé was the Queen.

“You’re a slave,” she asks.
“I’m a person,” he declares.
Someday they will kiss.

Fate in a boy’s hands.
Handmaiden Queen admits that
she does not approve.

Jedi are reckless,
the handy Queen tells Qui-Gon.
Yeah, sometimes they are.

Boonta Eve Podrace.
Fly real fast, go left sometimes.
She cheers for Ani.

The Queen is worried.
Her people are suffering.
Will the Senate help?

Speaking to Senate,
Queen Amidala calls for
no confidence vote.

Begging for their help,
Amidala bows to the
greatness of Gungans.

Queen of the Naboo.
Military strategist.
Fourteen but gifted.

Leading from the front,
Amidala risks her life
to save her people.

Viceroy Nute Gunray
deceived by Keira Knightley!
Decoy “Queen” Sabé

Here is a fun fact:
I am two days older than
Ms. Keira Knightley.

The Royal Decoy
orders the real Queen to clean
astromech R2.

Haiku Addendum:
I can’t help but wonder if
that made Padmé mad.

At last, there is peace!
Amidala and Boss Nass
commit to friendship.

Droids (February 2017)

Ahsoka Tano (March 2017)

Darth Vader (April 2017)

The Battle of Scarif (May 2017)

The Truce at Bakura (June 2017)

Ryloth (July 2017)

Haikuesday: The Truce at Bakura

Published: ’94.
The Adventure Continues.
New Saga Begins.

Endor victory!
While Rebels celebrate an
unknown foe appears.

Ancient drone dispatched.
Bakura under attack.
Empire in need.

Ambition of the
Ssi-ruuvi Imperium:
Entech and Conquer.

Aided by human
Dev Sibwarra, the Ssi-ruuk
entech detainees.

Head of Entechment,
Not a very large Ssi-ruu,
Master Firwirrung

Captured prisoners,
their life force drained into droids.
Ssi-ruuk Entechment.

How do Ssi-ruuk look?
Think dino-dragons with guns
and six feet tall…ish.

Manipulated,
Dev Sibwarra’s mind succumbs
to one called “Bluescale”

Bluescale’s Ssi-ruu name?
Sh’tk’ith…which I think is
just three syllables.

Ssi-ruuk Admiral
Ivpikkis leads his fleet in
Bakuran battle.

Led by Skywalker,
Rebels arrive as Ssi-ruuk
press attack on Imps.

Cruiser-Carrier,
Gunships and a lone Corvette.
The Rebel Task Force.

Tessa Manchisco,
Captain of Reb Carrier.
Spoiler: she dies.

Haiku Addendum:
Her death is pretty ho-hum,
plot blip at book’s end.

Class of Carrier:
Quasar-Fire bulk cruiser.
Its name: the Flurry.

Star Wars Trivia:
Quasar-Fire first appears
in this Star Wars book!

Did you know that a
Quasar-Fire is stolen
in Star Wars Rebels?

Here is another
haiku in which I say the
name Quasar-Fire.

I promise I won’t
say Quasar-Fire again.
Oh crap, I just did.

Ssi-ruuvi flagship,
Shriwirr, a huge egg-shaped ship.
Was a ’90s toy.

Ssi-ruuk in Retreat!
Empire and Alliance
win the day…for now.

Commander Thanas,
Imperial Officer.
Defects at book’s end.

Wilek Nereus
Imperial Governor
Bakura System

Gaeri Captison.
A Bakuran Senator.
Luke will crush on her.

Haiku Addendum:
Gaeri, short for Gaeriel.
Such a lovely name.

Defense Minister
Blaine Harris is also in
Force Heretic II.

A fancy dinner.
Leia and Wilek sign the
truce at Bakura.

Never tell Han odds.
Also, don’t think he will trust
any Imp allies.

On needed shore leave,
Mon Cala mistaken for
Ssi-ruuk invaders.

“Who are you,” she asks.
“I am your father, Leia.”
“Leave” is her reply.

Skywalker obsessed,
Firwirrung and Bluescale hatch
a Luke-nabbing plan.

Rebs and Empire,
Enemies work as allies.
But Nereus plots.

A Ssi-Ruuk offer:
Turn over Skywalker and
they leave Bakura.

Two birds with one stone.
Nereus accepts but lays
a Ssi-ruuvi trap.

Ingested by Luke,
Olabrian Trichoid will
hatch in his stomach.

Haiku Addendum:
the larvae hatch and nibble
towards their host’s heart.

So what of the droids?
They attempt to translate the
Ssi-ruuvi language.

Imminent Attack!
Ssi-ruuvi forces strike while
a team hunts for Luke.

Leia arrested!
Nereus continues his
devious scheming.

Haiku Addendum:
He had cause for her arrest.
She was scheming too.

Bakuran revolt.
With Prime Minister detained,
the citizens rise.

Remember that time
C-3PO cosplayed in
stormtrooper armor?

Remember that time
Chewie shot C-3PO?
I think you know why.

Han to the rescue!
The bold General embarks
on a solo plan.

Skywalker captured!
With Sibwarra’s help, Ssi-ruuk
seize their Jedi prize.

Clever deception.
“Unconscious” Luke taken to
Ssi-ruuvi flagship.

Bakuran Assault!
Ssi-ruuk attack Imps and Rebs!
Wedge into battle!

Springing to action,
Luke fights back with help from Dev.
Two more dead Ssi-ruuk.

“Ssi-ruuk can’t use stairs,”
Sibwarra tells Skywalker.
To the power lifts!

The Flurry destroyed!
An Imperial betrayal.
The truce is broken.

In case you forgot
the Flurry is a Quasar-
Fire carrier.

Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough
The larvae chew on Luke’s lungs.
Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough

Haiku Addendum:
I won’t tell you if Luke dies.
No spoilers here.

Ssi-ruuvi retreat.
Imperial surrender.
Bakura is free!

I have to be frank:
I prefer this tale over
Shattered Empire.

Haiku Addendum:
I read it in the fourth-grade.
Impressionable.

Scene: Planet Scarif;

Scarif garrison.

Fighting on Scarif!
Private Weems informs Mothma.
Mobilization!

Yavin to Scarif
should be a long trip but there’s
a film plot to move.

Haiku Addendum:
Hyperspace travel times are
all over the place.

On Scarif beaches
Rebel troopers battle the
Empire’s soldiers.

In the Citadel
Erso, Andor, and K-2
search for Death Star plans.

Trapped on the beach by

Outside of the vault,
K-2 defends his friends by
laying down his “life”

TIE Fighters, X-Wings, Y-Wings.
Oh Look! There’s The Ghost!

General Syndulla kicks ass
and takes some Imp names!

Red Five in trouble…
…poor guy, he lived and he died
for A New Hope’s plot.

Down on Scarif beach

Led by Dutch Vander,

Time to find a switch.

Director Krennic
orders his Death Trooper guards

Arise, ye with faith!

“I’m one with the Force…”
All is as the Force wills it.
“…the Force is with me.”

Rebel Fleet contact!
Rook tells Raddus to destroy
the Scarif shield gate.

Armed with a grenade,

Persecutor is crippled.
Raddus has a plan.

Rammed by a Corvette,
Persecutor pushed into
Intimidator.

Death Star plans in hand.
Jyn Erso climbs the tower.
Determined hero.

At Citadel’s top,
Jyn stares down a TIE Fighter.
Whoops, that scene was cut.

“Who are you,” he asks.
“I’m Jyn Erso,” she declares.
Neither see Andor.

The plans transmitted
just as the Death Star arrives.
The Fleet must retreat.

Single Reactor.

Haikuesday: Darth Vader

Prophecy. Chosen.
Slave to Fate. Destined to Hate.
Dark Lord. Sith. Vader.

The Temple attacked.
Younglings hide. Vader enters.
Do what must be done.

Descent into Hell,
Mustafar, where He will be
baptized by fire.

Body burned, broken.
Pain fuels His rage, His hatred.
He is still alive.

The crash of thunder.
A dead man Reborn, entombed
in armor of black.

More machine than man.
Is there good in this monster?
Pain. Rage. Darkness. Shame.

“Shame is worse than death”
Shame embodies, inhabits Him.
Shame is Pain, is Hate.

Kooyanisqatsi.
Under a Dark facade lives
an unbalanced soul.

To balance the Force.
No, to defeat His Master.
He must be balanced.

Submerged in hatred,
swallowed by the Dark abyss,
chains will be broken.

Darth Vader, like Fate –
immanis et inanis,
monstrous and empty.

A desolate world,
Malachor, there He will break
a chain: Ahsoka.

Out of the Darkness
a red blade ignites, the Lord
of Death is revealed.

A man screams for help.
From Death, from Dark Lord Vader,
there is no escape.

With graceful malice
the Dark Lord grants death to all
who might oppose Him.

A black clad figure
emerges from the smoke and
walks among the dead.

Lacking faith in Him
irritates Him, disturbs Him.
Lack faith, invite death.

Padmé, she lacked faith.
She brought Obi-Wan to Him.
She invited death.

Entering a cell.
Within, a young woman waits…
…waits for His torture.

Red blade ignited.
Vader stands ready to break
a chain: Kenobi.

The Death Star destroyed.
Failure, another failure.
His Master, displeased.

Searching for the truth,
the truth about the pilot.
The truth: it’s His son.

Clumsy and stupid
Admiral Ozzel receives the
Dark Lord’s gift of death.

“What is thy bidding?”
Kneeling before his Master…
…when will Vader strike?

Apologizing
to Lord Vader, Needa is
forgiven with death.

Battle in the clouds.
Over a chasm, Vader
maims His foe: His son.

“I am your Father.”
“Search your feelings, you know it
to be true.” “Join Me.”

Vader’s forgiveness,
more gracious than His Master.
Jerjerrod takes note.

Twisted and evil.
Is there good in this monster?
His Son believes so.

In a Star of Death
the Father and Son battle.
A clash of titans.

Thoughts betray His Son,
He can sense the boy’s Fear for
a twin, a Sister.

A thought arises:
If the boy will not join Him
then perhaps SHE will…

A wave of hatred.
A swift and violent attack.
Son maims the Father.

His Master joyful,
tells His Son to strike Him down.
But His Son resists.

His Son, a Jedi.
His Master strikes, His Son screams.
Vader knows that sound.

Rise. Stand. Watch. Hear. Feel.
His Son in pain, pleads for help.
He knows pain, lives pain.

Pain. Rage. Hate. Shame. Love.
Emotions invade His mind.
The moment has come.

His Master is strong,
but He has become stronger.
Apprentice no more.

Last Rites in Lightning,
Darth Vader, Lord of Death, dies.
A Jedi Returns.

Worshiped, revered by
Raiders, Dark Acolytes, Knights.
Vader, a Dark God.

The pull to the Light
threatens to overwhelm Ben,
Darth Vader’s grandson.

Knight of Ren: Kylo.
Another life unbalanced.
Kooyanisqatsi.

Haikuesday: Ahsoka Tano

I have to be frank:
When Young Snips was introduced
I did not like her.

Haiku Addendum:
Regarding the last poem,
I’m now fond of her.

Ahsoka Tano
was basically Padmé and
Ani’s first child.

Scene: on Christophsis;
A youngling is sent to war
by Jedi Masters.

Does anyone know
why Ahsoka went off to
fight without armor?

Jedi Commander
Outranking Clone Captain Rex
Both child soldiers.

The Battle of Teth:
Tano fights for access to
Hutt hyperspace routes.

The Malevolence
destroys Master Plo Koon’s fleet.
Tano will save him.

In Resolute bay,
Ahsoka complains about
being a gunner.

“I feel it,” she says.
“A disturbance in the Force.”
Pellaeon listens.

A duel with Grievous
unfolds in Ruusan moon’s sky.
Snips barely escapes.

Blue Shadow Virus!
Ahsoka is infected!
Oh no, Padmé too!

Scene: over Ryloth;
Tano uses Marg Sabl
in battle with Seps.

Ignoring commands,
rash Ahsoka continues
fight for Felucia.

Ahsoka Tano,
Jedi Padawan and the
best library guard.

Held hostage by Bane,
Anakin must choose how to
save his padawan.

Ani and Tano
bicker while battle rages.
“Another fine mess…”

Noble sacrifice;
Tano and Offee “die” so
that others can live.

“Kill me” pleads Barris,
brain worms infecting her mind.
Can Snips kill her friend?

Maurya Ruler,
Conqueror of Kalinga.
Whoops! That’s Ashoka.

Tera Sinube
helps Ahsoka look for her
misplaced lightsaber.

Mon Gazza podrace,
Ahsoka gets a “Crash Course”
in high speed flying.

Two Jedi track Fett
from Coruscant to Florrum.
Will they find the boy?

I have to be frank:
Pics of sexy Ahsoka
are really creepy.

Haiku Addendum:
Seriously, she’s a kid,
not a sex object.

Tano with Chuchi;
Just two friends hiding on a
Federation ship.

Padmé in danger!
Ahsoka senses a threat,
but could she be wrong…?

Scene: on Mandalore;
Ahsoka helps some kiddos
tackle corruption

Young Ahsoka speaks
with her older self in the
complex Mortis-arc.

With his dying breath,
Piell imparts Nexus Route
upon young Tano.

Trandoshans capture
Ahsoka and use her as
prey to be hunted.

I can’t figure out
why Ahsoka came with the
Lego MHC…

Haiku Addendum:
Ahsoka was not in the
Umbaran stories.

Battle in the deep.
Ahsoka protects Lee-Char,
King of Mon Cala.

Ahsoka and Lux,
sitting in a tree, K-I-
S-S-I-N-G!!!!

Tano is all like
cray jelly that dreamy Lux
likes that chick Steela.

A padawan framed!
Ahsoka flees into the
deadly underworld.

“I’m not coming back.”
Ahsoka Tano leaves an
Order in chaos.

I have to be frank:
I don’t like that she leaves but
sees Ani again.

Siege of Mandalore.
Tano duels a tattooed foe.
Rex will spring the trap.

Ahsoka novel
Review: started strong but the
climax was just meh.

Scene: moon called Raada;
A mechanic named Ashla
lends aid to farmers.

Snips turned fifteen on
September 22nd
1955

Haiku Addendum:
Hidalgo figured this out
so go talk to him.

Mystery figure.
Aiding the Lothal Rebels.
Who is this Fulcrum?

Rex and Ahsoka
are finally reunited.
Memories abound.

It’s pretty damn cool
when Ahsoka schools the two
inquisitive sibs.

“You abandoned me!”
“Do you know what I’ve become?”
“No. No!” she cries out.

Scene: on Malachor;
“I am no Jedi,” she tells
her former Master.

Did Ahsoka live?
Or did she die in the duel?
There’s no wrong answer.

Haiku Addendum:
Ahsoka theories don’t suck,
nor do Snoke theories

If left up to me,
in The Last Jedi I’d have
Luke chat with Tano.

Haikuesday: Droids

I had been wanting to do a monthly series on this site for some time but had been struggling to decide what to do. Then, one day, it hit me: why not write and post a collection on Star Wars Haiku on the first Tuesday of every month and call it Haikuesday. Simple to pull off but also stunningly brilliant (*pats self on back*). Yet, that was not the only idea I had. “What if,” I thought to myself, “I allowed my followers on Twitter to vote for the Haiku topic.” And that is precisely what I did, presenting four options in a poll which resulted in this inaugural Haikuesday post which is all about DROIDS!

I hope you enjoy my Star Wars inspired syllabic creations and be sure to follow me on Twitter to vote for the next Haikuesday topic!

Scene: Horizon Base;
Chopper ignores the mission.
Instead, goes shopping.

I have to be frank:
I think 3PO’s red arm
is really stupid.

Scene: On Tatooine
Jawa scavengers sell droids.
Stolen? “Utini!”

Guardian Corps built;
at Third Battle of Vontor
Xim’s droids defeated

You know, in a way,
the Force also woke R2
from low power nap.

K-2 reprogrammed,
He’ll be there for Jyn because
Cassian says so

I can’t help but feel
the Clone War should have been called
the Great Droid War…thoughts?

Jek-14 no more
He is the Maker of Zoh,
repairer of droids

Scene: On Mustafar;
Anakin and Ahsoka
battle nanny droids

No one worries about that…

…how I hate that term.”

Serpentine Sentries
Roaming ruins on Mataou.
Aphra should beware.

Poor tortured Gonk Droid!
What did you do to upset
His Largeness, Jabba?

Professor Huyang
guides Jedi younglings as they
construct lightsabers

If not much trouble
Could someone ask Pablo if
Droids show is canon?

Scene: On Iego;
Honorable Jaybo Hood
Builds droid servant force

I have to be frank:
I think Triple-Zero and
BT-1 are lame.

ASN transports
lethal kouhun to their prey:
Naboo’s Senator

Rebel base found by
An Imperial Probe Droid!
Time to flee from Hoth

Clone Wars Veteran
Terrified of Jedi Knights
Roger Freemaker

“Those droids were stolen,”
Young Luke tells Uncle Owen.
“Yeah, no shit nephew.”

Scene: Planet Scarif;

K-2 dies for them

Downfall of a droid
R2 lost at Bothawui
Anakin freaks out

Loathed by Yuuzhan Vong
Droids targeted and destroyed
by the invaders

CZ-1G5
is a very bad droid in
High Noon on Jakku

“Blah Blah Blah Complain
Blah Blah Blah Complain Complain!”
“3PO! SHUT UP!”

I have to be frank:
I think that BB-8 is
so adorable!

Imperial droid
C2-B5 in Rogue One.
Wait! Did it appear???

Droid General Grevious
Killed by a shot to the chest;
How uncivilized.

Ewoks spring a clever trap,
Then feast on the dead

In meadow, Wicket
Skips and picks flowers as his
Village is raided
