X JEDI 
	Okay folks, if you haven't read X Jedi or if it was so long ago that the mind  
boggles and you can't remember it... here you go. But be warned, if you haven't read  
it, some of this may confuse you.  In the galaxy far, far away (GFFA) there was a little  
cylinder. This cylinder turned up in the war room of the Imperial palace at Coruscant,  
where as of Zahn's trilogy, the New Republic headed up by our favorite band of  
used-to-be rebels resides.  A young woman, Rea, working at a warehouse in  
Charlotte, North Carolina, also found the same cylinders.  After the warehouse burns  
down, our favorite Special Agents are called in to collect Rea.  She just happens to  
have a cylinder or three handy.    The cylinders begin Scully and Mulder's journey to  
the GFFA, where among other things, they visit Coruscant Palace and meet a Jedi  
Knight, his sister, and some other interesting people.  Agent Scully gets a new hair  
do and some really cool clothes and Agent Mulder decides that no draw string pants  
and beds that float are just two reasons why staying in the Galaxy Far, Far Away  
seems like a really good idea.    Regrettably, the investigation of the warehouse fire  
and being spirited away to another galaxy prevented Agent Scully from going on a  
date with a really good looking, nice guy named Ben Adams from Washington DC.   
Her favorable opinion became somewhat muddled when she and Mulder, in the  
woods behind the warehouse, witnessed Adams being enveloped in a beam of light  
and taken aboard an alien space ship.  Scully's opinion became decidedly negative  
after she, unfortunately,  ran into Ben in the halls of Coruscant Palace.  For, although  
she might have wanted to bring Ben home to meet Mrs. Scully,  problems would  
arise if Ben tried to bring Scully home to meet *his* family.  His father is none other  
the Cancer Man, the X Files villain you love to hate.  And the Cancer Man's  father is  
the Emperor Palpatine ** the evil, twisted wizened guy with long finger nails and  
sizzling blue bolts firing out of his hands.  Darth Vader threw Palpatine down the shaft  
at the end of Return of the Jedi.    Concurrent with Scully and Mulder's arrival on  
Coruscant, the GFFA folks discover a ship, the Hinderer, which is occupied with  
Force-strong children from Earth, led by a woman named ***Samantha***.  The Ship  
also is filled with Dark Side Force users, in a state of sleeping stasis.  Adams,  
proving that he is not just another blind date, appears on Coruscant, a galaxy from  
home, and steals the Hinderer, the children and the Dark Side users.  With the  
cylinders and the assistance CEStallia, the leader of a mysterious, very powerful race  
of Force-using telepaths, Dana Scully, Fox Mulder, Han Solo, Leia Organa-Solo, and  
Luke Skywalker travel through a "Gate" to Earth.  They rescue Chewbacca who has  
been taken hostage, wreck a little havoc, and then travel to the Gate, which CEStallia  
insists they must destroy to stop this commerce between the Galaxies.    In a very  
emotional scene, Mulder decides that he will return to the GFFA, and Scully decides  
to join him.  An added incentive for Scully, may it seem, be Luke himself.  She  
observes to Mulder at one point "what's not to like?"  All roads meet at the Gate.  The  
children from the Hinderer and Samantha are there, and wholly under the influence  
of the now awakened Dark Side Force users.  Adams is also at the Gate, as a  
prisoner.  At the Gate, Mulder learns that he has a strong Force gift and that Scully  
also harbors some latent ability.  Combining efforts the GFFA folks and the FBI  
agents destroy the Gate.  As the Gate begins to fall down around them, Luke has a  
vision of his possible future:  Coruscant lay in ruins; Mulder dead at his feet and a  
very frightened and untrusting Scully staring his way.  He decides to return Adams,  
Mulder and Scully to Earth.  Scully and Mulder are found at the edge of a meteor, are  
in a hospital, and when they awake, have no memory of where they have been.  At  
the end of X Jedi, a mysterious woman appears to Mulder, giving him a tea bag.   
With the infusion he has a vision of Samantha, his missing sister and the story ends.
