Peace reigned over the New Republic. The Thrawn and third Galactic Empires lay in ruin thanks to the tireless efforts of a number of people. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and several of their children. Together they had, over several decades, restored peace and balance to the galaxy. Luke Skywalker continued to oversee the new Jedi order until his death when his and his sister's children took over in his place and so it went on down the generations. Cade Skywalker's son, named Han, watched the transport arrive with their latest force-sensitive potential younglings. His eyes fell immediately upon the two adults who were standing at the back holding hands with a young girl. There were a lot of offspring called Han, Ben, Padme and Anakin in their family
"Master Skywalker" a Jedi Knight interrupted his ponderings
"yes?"
"one of the potential younglings' parents refused to let us take their daughter without coming to Coruscant themselves"
"And you allowed this?"
"Considering who they are, yes"
"Who are they?"
"Senna and Tonraq Aningan, master"
"relatives of Yue Aningan?"
"yes, Tonraq is her grandson"
"very well, show them to guest quarters and return to the potentials"
"yes, master" the Knight walked back out, Han Skywalker attempted to recompose himself, he had heard the legend of how, after the final defeat of Emperor Palpatine, Yue Aningan had sacrificed herself to the force in order to trap the entire dark side presence in the galaxy in a Jedi holocron which had then been tossed into a black hole.The master Jedi had often wondered if that act had purged all the darkness from the galaxy or if it had just temporarily disposed of it

Han joined up with his fellow council members in the council chambers atop the highest tower and sat judging the potential Jedi. Eventually he felt a tremor in the force when the Jedi Knight at the doorway called "Korra Aningan"
The shy little girl he saw earlier stepped forward and declared "I'm a Jedi, you gotta deal with it!" she then held out her hand, Han and several other council members felt their seats lift off the ground
"Korra!" the Knight gasped in horror, he ran in, grabbed the girl and turned to leave with her
"stop." Han declared. It had been the first time he spoke since he had asked for the first potential to be brought in, five hours ago
"master?"
"put her down"
"Yes, master" the Knight did so and bowed respectfully, he retreated back to the door and stood awaiting his orders
"Korra... How long have you been able to do that?"
"since I was very little, two, I think?"
"remarkable"
"where are you going with this?" one of his fellow masters asked
"I want to see what this girl is capable of..."
"I could always show you?" Korra's little voice was brimming with confidence
"right, we'll go down to one of the training rooms and put you through your paces"
"That will not be necessary..." Han and the others looked around in confusion before they realised that the deeper voice has echoed from Korra's mouth
"What the?!"
"I am Raava, although I'm more commonly known as 'the light side of the force' and I am bonded with this young girl" Korra's eyes were glowing a blinding white and there was a visible disturbance in the force surrounding her. "Thanks to the actions of her ancestor, Yue, I have been able to become strong enough to bond to the young woman you see before you. She has a power that even I am unable to calculate at this time. She is your greatest hope against all that is yet to come"
*
Han Skywalker and the other members of the council were speechless. Lin Beifong, Han's most trusted member of the council stood and slowly descended back down to the ground. "you sure have some skills, Korra, but why did this Raava merge with you?"
"I don't know, miss" Korra said, her little four-year-old voice was back again
"well I've seen enough. This goes beyond that prophecy regarding my ancestor, Anakin, who was destined to defeat evil, this is a whole new level and we need to help this girl achieve her own peace" he watched Korra fly through the air unsupported except from by the force. "as well as teach her a bit of discipline" he added
"it is decided then, Korra, you will become a Jedi. Lin?"
"Yes, Master Solo?"
"would you mind training her as your padawan learner?"
"Consider it done..." she turned to Korra and smirked at the eager young girl. "boot camp time...!"
*
"Bye mom, bye dad" Korra squeaked
"bye, sweetie, we are so proud of you our little Jedi Knight"
"don't get ahead of yourselves" Lin grumbled but then smiled at the family saying goodbye
"goodbye! And good luck" Senna called
"I love you, Korra!" Tonraq called.
"I'll come visit when I graduate to knighthood!" Korra squeaked back before she ran to Lin and hugged her leg tightly while her parents disappeared off into the distance
"That girl is the most powerful being I've ever met" an elderly man grunted
"indeed she is, Zaheer. She has the ability to single-handedly save the galaxy, or destroy it"
"I'll watch her career with... Great interest" the elderly man flickered and vanished
*
"This could pose a problem..." the man called Zaheer growled and turned to face his disciples
"What do you want to do about it?"
"nothing, yet. The Chosen Race will be here in a decade or two, and they'll wage a war on this galaxy like the universe has never seen before, and then, perhaps with the dark side they'll bring with them we will have our revenge"
Unalaq, P'Li, Ghazan, Noatak and Ming-Hua nodded eagerly. "Drill again..." a voice in the background hissed and their red lightsabres spring into existence again before they all threw themselves at each other, determined to maim each other. A sickly laughing could be heard over the clamour of the battle. "soon, we will have our revenge... Soon the dark side will be reborn and the Jedi will fall"
