The Tom Veitch Files

[page number, circled: 68] Ulic has been placed under a death sentence by his own family[inserted: or by the ruling powers of Alderaan.] [margin: The father will not contradict the ruling. "You will die. It must be."] * [inserted: But] The old Jedi has ideas of his own. "No Jedi is condemned forever. Give your son to me, Qel-Droma. I will make him new. That is the way of the Jedi, to bring their own back to the Light." The father resists. [margin: <He's torn both ways.>] But at some point Nomi Sunrider arrives. A scene between Ulic and Nomi. Nomi argues for Ulic being handed over to the old Jedi Master for discipline and rehabilitation. The father relents. [inserted: (even tho there is [inserted: still] a deathmark on his son)] * Ulic, on the other hand, is far from redeemed. He is confused inside, still under the influence of the Sith curse. He agrees to re- apprentice himself to the old Jedi, but plans all along to escape. The Republic and the council of Jedi Masters have to be informed of Ulic’s capture. One group wants Ulic’s head, but wise old Jedi prevail. Ulic’s new teacher is given a year to rehabilitate him. * Almost as soon as they arrive at the old Jedi’s world, Ulic escapes, with the help of his female cohort, and returns to his bounty hunter life. [margin: or gets involved in some other plot [uncertain: aspect?], F.i. the DROIDS & [uncertain: Yavin IV?] -- he might hide on [uncertain: Yavin IV?].] [margin: Intro the [uncertain: reigning?] Dark Lord of the Sith] He is hunted by everyone -- the Republic, the Jedi, and by the old Jedi who is his new Master. [margin: Vima important in the recapture.] [adjacent page, cropped text: Re[illegible] Ul[illegible] wi[illegible] fo[illegible] It[illegible] fo[illegible] se[illegible] us[illegible] ba[illegible] * ch[illegible] co[illegible] Th[illegible] ac[illegible] pu[illegible] gr[illegible] hi[illegible] * Je[illegible] ma[illegible] an[illegible] ou[illegible] * up[illegible] by[illegible] [struck: de[illegible]] [struck: bo[illegible]] [struck: Re[illegible]] br[illegible] th[illegible] mi[illegible] bo[illegible] The[illegible] are[illegible] But[illegible] Mas[illegible] ta[illegible] Jed[illegible] Vi[illegible] ret[illegible] she[illegible] his[illegible]]
