Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jaster felt a strange sensation in his head. It wasn’t painful like a headache, but more like something was in there that shouldn’t be. Blinking a few times while frowning, he tried to resist it, but the images came in nonetheless. All the toys he could want. The...

Not asking and demanding sounded… mean. Almost like some of the popular kids at school, and even Jaster knew to steer well clear of that kind of crowd. It was true that they got everything they wanted, and even if, in his opinion, they treated other people way worse than him, they still got off...

Jaster shifted on his feet as the woman spoke to him. Was she going to take the coupon or not? Though he didn’t want to admit it, her insistent yet casual demeanor was starting to scare him. “But why not just ask for what you want?” he asked with a frown. Though he disagreed with her about...

Jaster blushed a little when Larrik said that Darth Maul was dead. He knew how he’d sounded, but when he realized that the other boy was just kidding with him he grinned back instead, picking up the Obi-Wan action figure. “Yeah! Because of him.” Just so Larrik knew that he’d been paying...

Having practically lived on the streets his entire life, Jaster felt that something was amiss the moment the woman started to turn the conversation towards him and him against his mother. Even the way that she was dressed made him a little wary since she was clearly not a local, but his job was...

As people continued to come and go, Jaster was just about to call up Ori and see if he could blackmail some people into coming. His friend always had the right connections, it seemed. He noticed a tall Twi’lek woman approach, but he decided not to flag her down because what if she was on a call...

For once, Jaster wasn’t up to no good on the streets. There was no time for another round of a stealing game, no time to chase cats, and no time to break windows playing ball. Today he had a job, and it was for Ma, no less. Though he wasn’t exactly dressed the part, Jaster was supposed to be the...

Jaster shook his head at Larrik’s question. “Not until I get a villain team for them to fight,” he replied in a serious tone. As tempted as he was to play with them, he wanted to get the full set before he did anything with them. Maybe he could put Boba against Han right now, but he wanted to be...

Jea’p’s gulp at the mention of a nexu gave Jaster the sense that he might have some more power than he’d thought. “You were just standing there! What was I supposed to do, not throw a grenade in your face?” Jaster frowned as he whispered back. As for the bad dream about the nexu, only babies...

Luck or not, Jaster felt like he’d never gotten a better gift. As Larrik walked closer to look at the other figurines in his collection, Jaster wondered what the Mandalorian’s room looked like. He was sure that a Mandalorian would have way cooler things than he did, probably wrist rockets and...

Jaster couldn’t help staring at the Mandalorian boy’s helmet as he shook his hand. Even though he’d seen one before, it wasn’t any less impressive seeing it a second time. Maybe he was even more impressed because someone his own age was wearing it. But when Larrik pulled out a box from his...

Jaster crouched down at eye level with his desk, making sure all his heroes were lined up exactly straight. Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Din Djarin, and Bo-Katan Kryze. The latter three he’d aligned so that they were the first thing any...

As Jea’p whispered back, Jaster nodded yes to his question before glancing over at the teacher’s back, looking for any sign that she might suddenly turn around and scold the two boys for talking during class. She didn’t, still too busy writing that list of rules on the board. But before Jaster...

With his fingers pressing into his cheek, Jaster leaned forward with his elbow on the desk. A held a spinning hand spinner in his other hand, which he stared at absentmindedly as he waited for class to start. The school day hadn’t even started yet, and he already wanted to leave. But as his...

“I’d like some too,” Jaster answered with a slight smile. The idea of fresh, dry clothes had never sounded so appealing, and by bringing it up Zessel managed to take the boy’s mind off of his unexcited friend and his guilt in making the Jedi come all the way over here for nothing. He even...
