Title: 'Wisdom with Age'
Author: Jasmine Larson
Summary: Everyone from Star Wars is getting older now......much older. Han can't even smirk anymore! Chewie doesn't do anything but read the newspaper and Luke can hardly remain upright. But, there is a call for help universe wide and our decrepit heros are needed once again! But, can they DO it? In this tale of popped-out joints, lost dentures, and forgotten catch-phrases, we find out if our favorite science fiction heroes still have it!
Rating: G acceptable for all audiences.
Warnings: No cursing, or crude humor. Just a good chuckle.
Notes from the author: 'Wisdom with Age' was my first success in writing. I always wanted to write, but this was the first thing I ever wrote that made people laugh. Looking back at it now, it's still my favorite. It's not as long or near as funny as some of my others, but it still was the first story I ever wrote. Enjoy.
'Wisdom with Age'

Han Solo shifted in his wheelchair. So what if he was getting older, he still had it. He looked over at Leia who was busy knitting and grinned.
"I feel ambitous today, sweetheart," Han said, "I think I will go and get my dentures
myself!"
Han hopped up with vigor and promptly popped out his knee.
"Ouch!" Han cried and clucthed his knee. "Everytime I do that it--ouch!--it, it hurts
me."
"Well, then don't do that, dear." Leia said with a satisfied smirk. "Next time have C-3po
do it for you."
"Oh, DEAR!" Cried the before mentioned robot. He grumbled as he looked about for Hans dentures."I seem to be made to suffer, it's my lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's my life!"
*Shudup.* Chewie mumbled from behind his newspaper.
"Ouch!!!" Leia cried as she pricked her finger on her knitting needle."Everytime I do that it--OUCH!!!--it hurts me."
Han sighed and looked for a newspaper. "Hey Chewie do you mind if I....?" Han asked as He snatched
Chewies newspaper.
*Moocher.* the overgrown teddy bear growled.
Han sat back content as he shuffled throught the newspaper. Luke hobbled (with help from his cane) into the Solos overly cluttered living room.
"Well, I wonder whats going on in the galaxy today," he said as he snatched Hans newspaper.
Han growled. "No fair, moocher."
Luke happily began shuffling through the newspaper in search of the comics.
"Oh, GOODIE!!" He exclaimed. "Garfield!" He settled down (in Hans' favorite chair) to read for hours.
Leia said "Han, you have something in your teeth."
Han took them out to see what it was. He bagan to pick his 'teeth' and whistle (which was not the easiest thing in the galaxy without teeth).
"Oh, LOOK!" Luke yelled much louder then anyone would think an 80 year old guy could.
Han sighed. "What did blondie do now?"
"No, no. There is trouble in the galaxy and we are needed once again!!!" Luke said between wheezes.
Leia exploded with laughter.
"US?!? What is there, a knitting crisis??" She gasped before she disolved into giggles once more.
"Great," Han said as he fitted his dentures in place. "and I don't even know how to knit."
Luke was jumping up and down now yelling: "They need us! They need us!! We can't let them down!!!"
"Wait a minute," Han said, "it really IS a knitting crisis?"
Luke was getting mad now. They could tell because he was now unmistakeablely turning red and swinging his arms around in the air.
"NO, NO, NO!!!" he yelled like a 5 year old who wasn't getting what they wanted. "The galaxy has a new villan!!! Her name is---Fee Fee the Mutant!!"
Dun dun dun
"I'm hungry." Han said matter-of-factly.
Leia rolled her eyes. "Again? I just fed you."
"Well, I don't like bran muffins!!!" Han cried indignantly.
Leia looked hurt. "But, but, you used to like them....."
Han sighed. "Yeah, before I LIVED on them!!"
"SHUDUP!!!!!!" Luke screamed.
Needless to say he had their attention.
"Now, we are going to save the galaxy and defeat Fee Fee the Mutant!!"
