Unexpected Consequences Teaser 01

My current writing project (aka actually working on the first draft) is a rewrite of the Thrawn Trilogy with a new original character and changed back story for Luke and Mara. And since I'm only concerned with the scenes of the Luke and Mara subplot that I changed, all of that works in outline as a novel-sized hunk. I don't post until everything is written and edited, but I don't mind giving out teasers while I'm working on it.

To set the scene, Luke successful stole a Skipray with the intention of running away from Karrde's Myrkr base before he's ransomed to the Imperials or the New Republic. Mara Jade chases after him because he pulled this stunt instead of sitting tight and trusting her while a Star Destroyer is in orbit. Luke causes them both to crash into the forest.
