No One's From Nowhere

I've come to this sandy, forgotten corner of the world on assignment—my editor, knowing both my love of Star Wars and its recent return to the pop culture landscape with a spate of five new films, sees it as a chance for a story. I, having no sense of responsibility of any kind, pack a bag the next evening and prepare to board the four planes, three trains, and one boat separating my front door and Luke Skywalker's, just outside of the small town of Tozeur.
