Okay, I lied. I said I wasn't gonna put up this until August. Well, in a desperate attempt to gain more reviews, I've put up this new one.

I think the mere fact that it's a series of stories, a trilogy, is what's losing peoples' interest. When they see the second or third one, theyre like 'oh, I don't want to have to go back and read the first.' I would know: I'm guilty of it myself.

Well, all qualms aside, I do welcome thee to this, the final installment in the Silver Blade Trilogy.

And I would like to thank reviewer SwimAngel, who has been oh-so-faithful in following me up until now.

Silver Blade III: The End of an Era

Chapter 1: No Privacy Whatsoever

"It's been six months without a single message, now where is he." Lunalila Kenobi Skywalker paced back and forth in front of Leia Organa Skywalker, her twin sister (although Leia didn't quite know that yet).

"I don't know, Lila," sighed Leia tiredly. "Not that I don't care about Lando, but I myself am more worried about Han."

Han had been frozen in carbon for the past six months. Lando had gone off to get information, and had not been heard from since.

Lila stopped, blushing madly. "I don't care about him. I don't. What makes you say that?" she asked quickly.

"Oh, nothing."

"Politicians," remarked Lila, looking at the ceiling. "Whenever they say it's nothing, it's always something. Spill. What do you know?"

Leia smiled secretively.

"Oh god, don't tell me you saw…" Lila began in horror. Leia smiled and nodded. She was referring to the kiss on the cheek Lila had given Lando before he left.

"Ooh, Lila's falling for the smuggler boy…isn't there some kind of law against Jedi falling in love?" asked Leia.

"Well, you're an exiled princess and you fell in love with a smuggler, anyway Lando isn't a smuggler anymore. And, uh….well, the rest of the Jedi Code is in shambles, so why even bother?" Lila said brightly.

"Whatever." Leia rolled her eyes. "Luke would kill you if he heard that." A little while ago, Luke had returned from Dagobah as a fully-fledged Jedi Knight. Lila had every intention of going; well, actually she didn't because she had totally mouthed off to Obi-Wan and told him to shut up. This, combined with Master Yoda not liking her, was reason enough for Lila to stay with the Rebellion. According to her, anyway.

"Well, Luke has a stick up his ass. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go ask Mon Mothma something." Lila ran off to go find the leader of the Rebels.

"Huh. Twenty credits says she's going to ask to come with me to Tatooine," said Leia to Luke, who had been hiding behind the wall.

"Do I really have a stick up my ass?" he wondered.

SWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSW

Sure enough, half an hour later Leia and Lila were dressed up as bounty hunters and preparing to go hand over Chewbacca the Wookiee to Jabba the Hutt. The two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, were coning too because they had to deliver a 'message' from Luke.

"We all know you're only coming so you can see Lando," accused Leia.

"Yeah? You wanna make something out of it?" Lila fingered her lightsaber.

"Oh, Lila!" Luke came running up. "Uh, I have a couple of things to say." Lila rolled her eyes but gestured for him to continue.

"Okay, first: Lila, Ben says he doesn't blame you in the least and you are being scared for nothing. And Master Yoda says, he knows about you and Lando and that it's fine, because the Jedi once made the mistake of prohibiting love and look what happened. Oh, and you can stop being afraid of the Force now, nobody's going to yell at you."

Lila blushed and turned away. "That all?"

"Yes, oh and Master Yoda wants you to come next time."

"I thought you said that was all," she grumbled.

Luke laughed, said goodbye, and left. Leia hustled Lila into the ship and started up the engines.

Once safely in hyperspace, Lila relaxed and tentatively reached for the Force. It came rushing back like an old friend, and Lila realized that she had actually missed it.

"Well, what do you know," she mused. "Maybe I can stop being so paranoid now."

Leia snorted. "Like that's ever gonna happen."

Uh….please review? And this time this really is the last one until August.
