I'll Die Trying

Disclaimer: I do not own star wars but I wish I did!(don't we all!)

He's really going through with this. My Father really is determined to make me join him.

I never actually thought I'd be here, on this turbolift, on the second death star, on my way to meet the Emperor.

Emperor.

Something about that word gives me the shudders. I don't know if it's the darkness in the Emperor, or just Palpatine himself.

I don't know what's going to happen in that throne room. Man, I hope Leia and Han can get that shield generator down so Lando can destroy this place before anything serious happens.

I don't want to kill him. I don't want to kill my own Father.

I'm still getting used to that. I can still recall the awkward conversation with Yoda about the true identity of my father.

"Is Darth Vader my father?" I asked.

There was a long pause.

Yoda sighed, "Your father…he is."

We're almost there. I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe Obi-Wan is right, that maybe Vader is too far into darkness to save. But I'll never give up hope.

And if not, I'll die trying.

The End
