Summary
Shmi Skywalker is taken by the Tuskens. The story doesn't go as it does in the movie.
The two suns were almost overhead, bearing down on them like a hammer straightening out a dented durasteel plate. Humans didn't stay out at this time of the day unless they really couldn't help it. The Tatoo star twins could kill you.
They might kill me, Shmi thought.
The bantha swayed on.

Summary
"Kalevala is a desert planet?" Shmi asks as they drop out of hyperspace, and Kalevala comes fully into view. She sounds surprised, and Jango glances at her. He had taken the pilot seat, and Shmi had once again been assigned as co-pilot, with Arla taking the comm station, but she was walking up to join them.
"More like a toxic wasteland," Arla says and leans on the back of Shmi's chair. "Kalevala never really recovered after the Dral'Han."
Shmi looks back at Arla. "The what?" Her comprehension of Mando'a has improved with impressive speed and staying with Sana, and his clan has only helped, but she was still new to the language.
"The Annihilation," Janog translates, and he turns to smile bitterly at Shmi. "Or as the Republic likes to call it: the Mandalorian Excision."
"The orbital bombardment," Shmi says in a horrified voice. "It destroyed the planet."
--
Jaster and the Haat'ade finally get to Kalevala for the meeting with the Old Clans and The New Mandalorians. There are political scheming, impassions speeches, and partying. So much partying.
Obi-Wan on the other hand is on a mission with Qui-Gon where he makes meets new people, makes new friends and learns new lessons.

Summary
Hand-kissing is a gesture indicating courtesy, politeness, respect, admiration or even devotion by one person toward another. A person should only kiss the hand of someone who’s of the same social status or higher.
“A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river
but then he’s still left
with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away
but then he’s still left with his hands.”Based on this post I made on tumblr.
