[ EU ] After the Battle of Endor , Luke Skywalker goes on a pillgrimage to understand the nature of the universe ( and thus , The Force ) better . In his travels he meets another protaganist from an entirely different universe and/or time . What do they learn from each other ?

As the hatch to the small X-wing opened, Luke stood and stretched. He would have preferred the relative comfort of traveling in the Falcon with Han and Chewy, but they were unable to be reached. Besides, this was supposed to be a chance to refocus he reminded himself, muttering as he unloaded his pack. 
 
 “ Having to kill your own father does strange things to the mind R2, ” Luke said. “ I should have done this alone, but you ’ ve been there through it all, you should be here now. ” 
 
 The droid beeped and whistled with what seemed to be an anxious excitement. 
 
 “ Hands up now, real nice and slow-like, ” a voice came from the woods. “ We saw you land, you should have been more careful, you could run into crooks or worse out here. ” 
 
 “ Ain ’ t we crooks, captain? ” a second voice called out. “ Can I just shoot him now? ” 
 
 “ No, Jayne, you can ’ t just shoot him now, we don ’ t even know who he is or how he was followin ’ us. ” 
 
 Luke spoke up, “ I don ’ t—sorry, I wasn ’ t following anyone. My R2 unit set the course for me, I told him to take me outside my local sector. R2, where did you send us? ” 
 
 “ beep beep, whrrrrrr, blzzzz ” R2 screamed out. 
 
 “ What do you mean we need to save her?! ” Luke said. “ There ’ s no girl here, just these two. ” 
 
 “ I don ’ t like him Cap ’ n, he acts like he ’ s talking to his ship. ” 
 
 “ Not my ship, it ’ s my R2 unit, a repair droid. R2, introduce yourself. ” 
 
 R2D2 rolls out from behind the X-wing, “ beep-beep, whrrrrrr, blzzzztt, beep! ” 
 
 “ He says you have someone with you who needs help. Is this true? ” 
 
 “ How can a robot know something? ” 
 
 “ That ’ s actually a good question, look, I ’ m going to turn around, okay? We should have a conversation face to face. ” Luke said. “ R2, how did you know about this girl? ” 
 
 “ zzzt zzbbb beep bleep. ” 
 
 “ I…okay, he says someone sent a distress signal to us from your ship, a weak signal, probably meant only for our ship, R2 says he almost missed it passing by this planet. ” 
 
 “ I ’ m gon na kill that doctor! Or Wash, or both! ” 
 
 “ Jayne, go back to the ship, stay there, and do not talk to anyone. Especially Simon. ” 
 
 “ But – “ 
 
 “ Now Jayne. ” 
 
 “ I wanted to shoot him, going on record saying we should have shot him. ” 
 
 “ Noted Jayne, if I die, you get to be captain, okay? ” 
 
 “ Really? ” 
 
 “ No. Zoe wouldn ’ t let you you know that! ” 
 
 “ Yeah… ” Jayne said, turning and walking back into the tree line. 
 
 The second man lowered his pistol, still keeping it trained on Luke, but walked closer, extended his hand, `` Names Mal, or Captain Mal. I have a ship a bit a ways back beyond those trees. It's not much, but we call it home. Looks like we might could use you if you're willing to tag along?'' 
 
 `` I think I would like that Captain. Lead the way. Come on R2.''
