Chapter One: The Encounter

It wasn't a smooth transition for any Jedi to go from being guardian of the intergalactic peace to becoming a Jedigolfer. No self respecting Jedi would have ever imagined such a transition during the days of intergalactic wars and peacekeeping. However, once the Dark Lord of the evil empire have fallen and dark force eliminated (as far as they can sense) the Jedis quickly lost favor from the majority non-Jedis of their world and were sent off to the deep space mission to search and destroy the few remaining Jedis of the dark side. Of course they were ordered to not return until they've searched the whole galaxy. Basically a life time exile from their world.

Eventually the Jedis were lost in space, in their own galaxy, and lost hope and purpose of being. In this dire situation the ship piloted by Han Solo with his Jedi companions hyperspaced right into a worm hole and ended up in the far corner of the Milkyway galaxy where captain Kirk happened to be wandering about searching for new life and new civilization.

It was a pure coincidence that the two ships almost collided....or more like a pure luck they avoided collision. Mr Sulu had no idea there was a ship that was about to side swipe the Enterprise until it came out of the worm hole in hyperspace. He had only a half a second to punch the breaks before the Millenium Falcon sailed right infront of them only 500 meters beyond. Later Luke tried to take all the credit for avoiding collision by stating his force stopped the Enterprise before colliding into their ship. Mr. Sulu never accepted that explanation and Star Fleet eventually gave him the commendation for superb driving skill.

Anyway, the two crews exchanged pleasantries and began to explore the fascinations of the newly encountered aliens and their culture.

"So can you tell me where you are from? From which galaxy?" asked captain Kirk with the usual smirk on his face looking intently into Princess Leia.
"We are from the galaxy far far away," said Luke who was standing beside her.
"I see," responded Kirk wondering whether this guy in the long black robe was trying to be funny or just secretive about their home world. It didn't seem as though they were threatened by the Enterprise crew so he decided to press on.
"That much I can figure by the way you appeared from the worm hole. Can you be more specific? Like does it have a name?" asked Kirk trying to be as polite as possible, again throwing a flirtatious glance at Princess Leia.
"Like I said. We are from the galaxy far far away," said Luke for the second time. But added, "our galaxy is called Far Far Away Galaxy."
"Fascinating," murmured Spock as he turned half way towards Kirk and Sulu who was standing by for a little huddle. "It's a galaxy I've never heard of or in any of the computer records in the Federation. It is most definitely a galaxy far far away."
Yoda, who was observing the whole interaction sensed impending disastrous misunderstanding and decided he must help to save their reputation from being unoriginal.
"Come up with name we have not," said Yoda. "No part in naming the galaxy we have."
"Fascinating," said Spock with one eyebrow going up subconsciously. He almost asked do you always talk this way but thought that would be rude in case he suffered a stroke.
"Look, we have nothing to do with the name of our galaxy and have no idea where it is since we don't know where we are at this moment. Without knowing where we are how can we tell you where we are from?" asked Leia with a touch of frustration.
Kirk thought she was beautiful and very glad that such beauty exists in a far away galaxy. And intelligent too, he thought. He immediately tried to cover up his mistake in asking a stupid question. "I thought you were from the galaxy we know. Sorry for my ignorance in other possibilities. Our galaxy is called Milkyway...." and as he spoke thought that this title for the galaxy sounded as stupid as the other one.
"Milkyway!" shouted Han Solo. "Why, is there a lot of milk being produced in this galaxy?" and giggled as chewbacca gave a loud roar of approval.
"No, there is no great amount of milk being produced in this galaxy and we have no part in naming our glalaxy," said Chekov ready to start a fight getting up out of his chair.
"Calm down Chekov," said Kirk. "We all need to be more understanding and try to figure out how we can send them back home."
"Back home?" shouted Leia as she got up to face Kirk. "Who said we wanted to go back home? We have been exiled from our own world and have been wondering through the space for five years before we fell into the worm hole and ended up here!" She wanted to explain in detail what happened but thought that would take too much time and just decided to say, "And we are not criminals."
"That is very unfortunate. Do you really not want to go back to your home world?" asked Kirk hoping that she would stay for sure.
"No, not unless they welcome us back with open arms," said Leia with a sigh of despair.
"Then you are welcome to stay on Earth, our home planet, as intergalactic guests as long as you wish," said Kirk.
Thus the Federation welcomed the newly arrived Jedis into their world under the clause of political asylum intergalactic guest status. Leia and her companions were escorted back to Earth and were given full citizen ship rights with the condition that they reveal all the knowledge regarding themselves and their home world.
"Everything?" asked Leia. "Yes, everything," said Kirk, as the two were walking down the stairs of Alien Immigration Office Building at Federation headquarters.
"And they put me in charge of finding out all about your culture.....and especially about the 'force' that some of you claim to have," said Kirk not having any idea what that was all about but very  curious indeed.
"Well, I would like to help you as much as possible and have a great idea," said Leia.
"I'm all ears," said Kirk.
"We have chronicled our history into six documentaries titled 'Star Wars'. You can start by watching all six of them and it would be a good start," said Leia excited to share the history.
"Thank you very much. That would be an excellent start. I will broadcast it globally via....satellite," said Kirk wondering how long each episode was. To return the favor he stipulated that the new arrivals watch the Federation documentaries called 'Star Trek'.... all eleven of them.
