This first monologue is from Anakin Solo's POV during Star by Star.
To Those I Leave Behind
If it weren't for the people I left behind, I wouldn't have any regrets at all. I did what had to be done, but I didn't want to hurt the people I love. There's so much I wish that I could tell them.
Jaina. My big sister. You always tried to take care of me, right up until the end. That's why I had to place myself out of your hands. I know you would have freely given your life for mine, but I couldn't let you do that. The mission was my responsibility. Cling to the light, Jaya. For me? Never forget, you're stronger than the darkness.
Jacen, brother, I know we didn't always quite see eye to eye. I wish philosophy hadn't come between us so often. Maybe neither of us was right. Don't let anyone tell you that everything you believe is wrong. Everything Vergere tells you may well be a lie, but know this much to be true: You have a family that loves you unconditionally. You're abilities are a gift, and it is your duty to use them to help those who cannot help themselves. You still have the light inside you. Don't forsake it.
Mom, don't worry about me. I'm at peace, it doesn't hurt anymore. I know you will try to be the rock for the rest of the family, but don't let it break you. You're allowed to feel pain, you don't have to fool everyone. It's okay to cry, Mama.
Dad, it's not fair for all the pressure to be on Mom. This time, you have to be the one strong enough to let you both carry on. Don't abandon her again. And don't dwell on all the things you said after Chewie died. I know that you weren't yourself then. I forgive you. I just wish I could have told you that.
Winter. I knew you all my life, and you protected me when I was still small and helpless. I always felt safe when you were around. I realize that I've given you more painful memories that will haunt you forever, and I'm sorry for that. I know you can't forget, but I hope that you can focus on the happy times.
Tahiri, I love you. I never dreamed I would be lucky enough to fall in love with my best friend. In another time, I know we could have lasted. Don't turn our love into hatred. No matter how justified hating the Vong might seem, that way leads to the Dark Side.
Uncle Luke, don't you dare try to blame this on yourself. I chose to go on that mission. Everyone agreed that it had to be done. We all knew it would be a miracle if any of us survived at all. It's no one's fault but the Vong's.
Aunt Mara, you have to make them all understand. Tell Uncle Luke that the Jedi Order is still strong. He'll listen to you. They all will. Help Jaina stay in the light.
Ben. Little one. I hope you never become I great Jedi warrior. I want you to become a Jedi in a galaxy that has no need for wars. I didn't get that chance, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe you will get to see a lasting peace. I'll miss being there to watch you grow up.
Never give up. No matter how insurmountable the odds, no matter how powerful the foe, always continue on. Don't give in to the darkness. The fight is over for me, but it's not over for the galaxy. Don't let it end for you until it ends for all.
