"Well, then," Jaina said, "what are we waiting for?"

Jaina watched with admiration as Lando Calrissian strode down the ramp
of the Lady Luck, an emerald-green cape billowing out behind him and a
broad smile on his dark, handsome face. His frequent companion, the bald
cyborg assistant Lobot, followed him down the gangplank and stood
stiffly at his side.

Lando greeted Jaina with a gallant kiss on the hand before turning with
a formal bow to her twin brother Jacen and Lowie. Next, he clapped the
shoulder of Luke Skywalker, who had come to meet the Lady Luck, his
barrel-shaped droid Artoo-Detoo following close behind him.

"Take good care of them, Lando," Luke said.

"No unnecessary risks, okay?" Airtoo added a few beeps and whistles of
his own.

Lando looked at Luke, pretending to take offense. "Hey, you know I
wouldn't let these kids do anything I didn't think was a safe bet."

Luke grinned and gave Lando's shoulder an affectionate slap. "That's
what I'm afraid of."

"You're just worried that once they see my GemDiver Station they'll be
so impressed they won't want to come back to your Jedi academy," Lando
oked.

Then, with a flourish of his cape, Lando Calris sian motioned Lowie and
Jacen up the ramp. He turned to Jaina. "And what can I do to make this
field trip more interesting and rewarding for you, young lady?" he
asked, offering her his arm to escort her into the ship.

"The first thing you can do," she said, accepting his arm with an
enthusiastic smile, "is tell me all about the Lady Luck's engines.

THE LADY LUCK left the jewel-green jungle moon behind as Lando
Calrissian and his trusted companion Lobot piloted them across space
toward the gaseous ball of Yavin.

"You kids should enjoy this," Lando said.

don't think you've seen anything quite like Corusca mining before."

As the Lady Luck approached the giant planet, the orbiting industrial
station came into view.
