Birth of the Rebellion

It is the end of the Galactic Civil War.

The Alliance to Restore the Republic has won.

The Rebel Alliance has liberated the galaxy from the evil Empire.

The Rebel troopers and pilots beat back the Imperial stormtroopers on Yavin 4 and Endor.

Red Squadron's new hero, Luke Skywalker, destroys the Death Star at Yavin. Rogue Squadron protects the Rebels on Hoth.

X-Wing fighters, along with Y-Wings, A-Wings, and B-Wings, outfly and outmaneuver TIE fighters, bombers and interceptors at Endor.

The Ewoks help the Rebels defeat the mighty Imperial forces with their native weapons and traps, hacking into stormtroopers, snaring speeder bikes, and crushing AT-ST's.

Han Solo, Chewbacca and Leia Organa break into and destroy the second Death Star's shield generator bunker.

Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles fly into the Death Star's core and destroy it.

Luke Skywalker proves wiser than the Emperor in the latter's throne room. Darth Vader is redeemed and becomes Anakin Skywalker again. Emperor Palpatine is thrown down a chasm into the center of the Death Star and dies.

An Alliance of Free Planets is born, which soon becomes the New Republic.

Rebel pilots and troopers are celebrated as heroes of freedom and justice. Military leaders like General Dodonna, General Rieekan, General Madine, and Admiral Ackbar are recognized as legends of the Rebellion. The Heroes of Yavin, Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO, are declared the greatest legends of them all.

MC-80 Star Cruisers and Corellian Corvettes surround and retake Coruscant. The Empire and its citizens are driven from the planet, and the seat of the New Republic is put in its place.

Mon Mothma, Leia, Ackbar, and Bothan Councilor Borsk Fey'lya work hard to make the New Republic everything it promises to be.

Luke finds the Jedi Temple and cleanses it of all Sith and Imperial presence. He then looks for Force-sensitive people the Jedi-hunting Empire overlooked to become part of his New Jedi Order.

Han and Leia marry, and they have three Force-sensitive children named Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo, who later join the New Jedi Order. Years later, Luke marries his former Imperial enemy, Mara Jade, and they have one Force-sensitive son, Ben Skywalker, in honor of Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi.

Gradually, Force-users flock to Luke's banner, including some old Jedi who survived the Purge, and the New Jedi Order is officially created.

Lando resumes his administration of Cloud City and plays cards better than any other card shark in the galaxy.

Chewbacca lives on Kashyyyk again and is reunited with his friends and family.

Artoo and Threepio are given their own honorary gratitude for what they did for the Alliance, and they remain friends to the end.

The New Republic beats down the Imperial Remnant until the Imperials finally accept that they have lost, and sign a peace treaty. The Republic also strives to repair the rift between humans and aliens after some aliens retaliate against humanity for the Empire's Human High Culture.

Celebrations are held on planets ranging from Tatooine and Bespin to Naboo and Endor. Fireworks split the skies.

Even with all the new problems in the future, balance is finally brought back to the Force, and with the Republic and the Jedi back too, we all look forward to a brighter future, together.

"May the Force be with us all!"
