Plot Summary


Marty contemplates the choices of his life and is surprised when ; shows up to give him a chance to see what his life might have been like if he had chosen differently. With the snap of his fingers ; sends Marty back to the Muffin but Marty quickly realizes that not only is he back on the ship, but everything that has happened since he joined the Sith didn't happen. Marty discovers the life he would have had if he had never taken up with Darth Creepius and finds that he is again able to fit in with his friends. Marty is even dating Natalie and everything seems right with the world.
That is until he realizes that Belinda is missing and that it is his responsibility to take on a new Sith threat, Darth Malignant. His worst fears are realized when he beams down to a planet to face Darth Malignant and finds that it is indeed Belinda who has turned to the Dark Side and has been on a rampage killing both Jedi and Sith. Though Marty has gained some considerable skill he is still no match for Belinda and is quickly routed. At the last second, ; answers his prayers and puts him back where he was. Marty resigns himself to the fact that perhaps he did make the right decision in becoming Darth Noyance.
