Homesteaders don’t like Jawas. And it’s not because they smell bad or are really difficult to understand or because they’re the lowest form of junk dealer in the galaxy. No. It’s because ghosts follow them ... and sometimes they never leave.
This original work of fan fiction is written and read by ATG host Pete Fletzer.
