Summary: on their way to Alderaan, The Falcon runs across what appears to be a lone rebel ship with what appears to be a Jedi. But there is more to this person than meets the eye, and the fate of the galaxy will be changed forever.

Han watched closely as Luke kept threat sword very close to his chest, it was clear to the old smuggler that this kid hadn't had much in terms of combat training, back when he was imperial officer they used to call those kinds of peoples milk drinkers, not to mention that the sword just looked clumsy, had this been a real combat situation, he could have killed the kid in ten seconds flat. Then of course there was the old man's "Couching"

"Remember a jedi can feel the force flowing through him." Ben said

"You mean it controls your actions?" Luke asked

"Partial but it also obeys your commands."

The seeker droid then proceeded to shoot Luke in the leg causing Han to laugh

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side kid."

"You don't believe in the force do you?"

Han let out a sigh "Look kid I've been all around the Galaxy and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, and I mean strange, but I've not seen anything to make me believe that there is this all powerful all-knowing force that controls everything. There is no mystical field controlling my destiny, just simple tricks and nonsense."

Han wasn't lying, he had scene strange things, Dragons, secret artifacts, even just a year prior he had encounters with a prison barge full with zombies, but that was thing. Everything he had encountered always had a scientific and logical explanation to it. Ben then got up grabbing a helmet.

"I suggest you try it again Luke. This time let go of your conscious self and act on instinct."

Luke protested. "But with the blast shield down I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?"

"Your eyes can deceive you don't trust them."

Luke did as he was told. At first he fumbled it looked like the kid was about to give up.

"Stretch out with your feelings." Ben said in a calm voice.

Luke took a deep breath and tried again. This time blocking five shots in a row.

"See you can do it."

Han rolled his eyes "You know what I call that? I call that luck."

"In my experience there is no such thing as luck" Ben reprimanded

Han opened his mouth to protest but before he could say anything the scanners started to beep, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"looks like were getting close to Alderaan."

As the ship excited out of Hyperspace but there was a loud THUNK

"What the…?"

Han looked over to see Asteroids flying toward the ship.

Chewie let out a growl in protesting question.

"We came out of hyperspace into some sort of asteroid field, I don't get it there is none on the charts.

"What happened?" Luke asked.

"Our position is correct but well…No Alderaan

"What do you mean, where is it?"

It's what I'm trying to tell you, it ain't their. It's like it's completely blown away.

"How?"

"It's been destroyed by the Empire. Ben said.

Han scoffed in disbelief. "Look old man not even an emperial fleet could wipe out a whole planet it would take a thousand ships with more fire power than…"

All of the sudden there was a high-pitched beeping.

"There is another ship coming in."

Ben held his head grunting in pain.

"Be what's wrong?"

"I don't know. I'm feeling something I've never felt before."

"Didn't you say that just a few minutes ago?"

"Yes but this is a different feeling."

There was a bright flash before a ship came out of hyperspace. Problem was the ship was in pieces.

"Well looks like we weren't the only ones trying to get to Alderaan. I almost feel bad for the poor sucker.

"There's someone alive in their." Ben said.

"Seriously look at the ship there is no way…"

The scanners let out a loud hum.

"Wait you're right."

"Wel we can't just leave them there." Luke protested

"Kid we are here to deliver a message not play rescue mission."

"You were the one that said there was no Alderaan."

Chewie let out a growl in agreement. Han let out a groan.

"Fine alright, but if I'm using the transporter."

Han locked onto the ships hull before clicking a button. Everyone turned around as they saw a figure begin to materialize.

Han grabbed his blaster.

"Come on Chewie."

He then looked at the figure. She was a woman of medium height, in her late 20's or early 30's by the looks of her, as well as having fair skin and long brown hair, dressed in what appeared to be a dark brown cloak, some rough leather gloves, and a rugged vest. what seemed the most odd however was that on her belt was a hilt that looked awfully similar to the ones that Luke and the old man had.

"Hey old man, is she one of yours?"

Ben came over and observed the woman putting his hand to his chin, in truth he did feel a strong force connection to this woman between that and the obvious lightsaber from her belt it seemed like she could in fact be a Jedi, but if she was she was no Jedi he had met before.

"The Force is strong with this one, but she is unlike any Jedi I have seen before."

The woman then began to let out a groan before trying to get up. Obi-Wan braced her

"Easy young one easy."

The woman opened her eyes letting out a deep breath. She looked around before seeing the men before her, she then let out a scream.

"Easy Lady!" Han Protested "Do you want the whole empire to here?"

"W-Where am I?"

"You're on my ship lady, the Millennium Falcon.'

"The Millennium Falcon?"

The woman then met eyes with the captain.

"Y-You're so young." The woman said in awe. Han raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Uh…thanks?"

Chewie let out a soft growl

"You ain't kidding.

The woman go up and paced anxiously back and forth much to everyone's confusion.

"Uh Lady, not to sound inhospitable, but you mind explaining just who in the heck you are."

The woman stopped and let out a sigh. " My name is Jania, Jaina Solo."
