When Anakin returned to Coruscant, he found Obi-Wan waiting for him.

"You have a new assignment. Kill Palpatine." Obi-Wan said.

"With pleasure. I assume the council saw my transmission?" Anakin said.

"Yes, though we'd love to know where you got the information." Obi-Wan said.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Anakin said simply as he kick started his ship and headed for the senate building.

"I knew he'd say that." Obi-Wan said.


"Chancellor Palpatine, you're under arrest." Anakin said as he entered the man he had in one lifetime called a friend and master, office.

"Might I ask what the charge is Anakin?" Palpatine asked.

"Intentionally setting off the clone war, destroying countless lives and systems and above all, being the Dark Lord of the Sith." Anakin said as he ignited his blade.

"It appears my secret is out." Palpatine said as he turned to face the Jedi.

"Surrender and I promise you a quick and painless death." Anakin said.

"Here's my answer for that." Palpatine said as he ignited his own red lightsaber.

"You Sith always want to do things the hard way." Anakin said as the 2 clashed in battle.


Padme was surprised to see that Masters Yoda and Windu were the ones who had called this emergency meeting of the Senate and not Chancellor Palpatine.

"Members of the Senate, it is with a heavy heart that the Jedi must report that we have discovered the Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine is a Sith Lord." Master Windu said, causing tons of disruption to course throughout the senate until Master Yoda simply displayed the hologram that Anakin had acquired from Soreno, which cleared all doubt.

"How did the Jedi Order acquire this information?" Senator Bail Organa asked.

"To the jedi order's attention thanks to jedi general anakin skywalker this information came." Yoda answered.

"And as we speak, General Skywalker is confronting Chancellor Palpatine about this matter. He will bring the Chancellor to justice and bring us even closer to ending this war and restoring peace to the Republic." Master Windu said, causing cheering to erupt.

"Members of the Senate, while I agree that this is a cause for celebration, we must hold elections for Palpatine's successor." Padme said.

"I nominate Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo to become Chancellor of the Republic." Bail said, causing an overwhelming amount of cheering to erupt among the senate.

Padme tried to object, but the vice Chancellor said "By an overwhelming majority vote, Padme Amidala is hereby elected as Chancellor of Galactic Republic."

Padme blushed and said "Thank you esteemed members of the senate, I promise to serve my people and all people of the Republic fairly and my primary concern will only be the welfare of the Republic and citizens and not my personal gain."

This caused the cheering to erupt even louder as a holographic image appeared in front of everyone, showing a beaten and bruised Anakin Skywalker.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Republic. I am pleased to inform you all that Sheev Palpatine is dead." Anakin said, causing the entire senate to applaud and cheer.

"Done well, Skywalker has." Yoda said.

"Agreed, he'll make a fine Jedi master." Mace said.


Between Padme's official inauguration as Supreme Chancellor of the Senate and Anakin's master ceremony, the two lovers have not been able to spend any time together. However, after his first meeting as a member of the Jedi Council, Anakin was feeling even more excited about seeing his wife than usual tonight.

"Ani." Padme said as she walked over to her husband and kissed him.

Anakin smiled as he kissed her back.

When the 2 lovers broke apart, Anakin said "I have some big news. We no longer have to keep our marriage a secret."

"How so?" Padme asked.

"I proposed a motion to allow Jedi to marry under the terms that it seems ridiculous that while we Jedi are encouraged to love, we are not allowed to actually do it and that if Jedi were allowed to marry, the offspring of Jedi would also be strong with the Force and allow us an easier time at finding younglings." Anakin said.

"That is good news." Padme said.

"Yes, but I think that it means that we should get remarried and have a proper ceremony. The wedding you always wanted to have." Anakin said to his wife.

"Yes. I like that idea. Almost as much as I love you." Padme said as she returned to kissing her husband.


9 months later, Anakin and Padme were standing at the altar in front of all of their friends and colleagues from the Jedi Council and Senate respectively, which Obi-Wan standing to Anakin's left and serving as his best man and Senator Mon Mothma standing to Padme's right as her maid of honor.

After the vows had been read, the wedding minister asked, "Do you Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker take Chancellor Padme Amidala to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Anakin said.

"And do you Chancellor Padme Amidala take Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The minister now asked.

"I do." Padme said.

"Then, by the power vested in me by the Chancellor, I hereby declare you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride." the minister said.

"Don't mind if I do." Anakin said as he kissed Padme passionately, really looking forward to their month long honeymoon at the old state house on Naboo.

Padme rolled her eyes as they continued to kiss, though she was also looking forward to their honeymoon.
