The Menace from the Future
Today I would like to submit for your approval my work for the astromech competition. I hope you will like it.
My MOC is based on a story which I concocted for this very competition.
Two years have passed since the Battle of Yavin. Darth Vader, who has long been on board of his Super Star Destroyer, realizes that his life-support system begins to fail. The breathing apparatus is malfunctioning. The mechanics say that the artificial part of Vader’s body works fine, while the best physicians of the Empire tell him that the problem lies within his own human body. Vader tells the Emperor about it, and the Emperor decides to make a desperate move – he sends a stormtrooper detachment with an astromech droid back to 32 BBY to kill Obi-Wan on board of the droid control ship. The Emperor commanded the stormtroopers to find Kenobi with the help of the astromech droid and catch him off guard.
Meanwhile young Obi-Wan and his master Qui-Gon Jinn, after learning that the Trade Federation has destroyed the Republican cruiser, escape the conference room and find themselves surrounded by the battle droids. However, they easily eliminate them. The protocol droid TC-14 manages to inform Nute Gunrey about the menace, and two droidekas are sent to confront the jedi...
The stormtroopers searching for Kenobi are nearby. It seems that the Imperial astromech droid is on the right way…
Only a part of an enormous space station is shown here.

And you are to decide by some quirk of fate where the jedi may flee. I hope they are going to flee through the right corridor as in the original version!
