After a short reunion on Dagobah, it was decided that now that Anakin had been restored to the light that the 4 jedi, along with Padme and the twins had decided it was time to join the rebellion, since Anakin was now an imperial deserter, the rebellion was the only place where they could be safe.
"I just spoke with Mon and explained everything to her. She is looking forward to having us." Padme said.
"Excellent, I think we'll all endure better on a planet that isn't a swamp." Anakin said.
"Yes, I think that Dagobah has served it's purpose, now it's time for some sunshine. Luke and Leia could both really use it." Padme said, since both of her children were looking extremely pale.
"I just hope the rebel base can handle 2 children with Anakin's blood running around in it. One adult him is far too much for the galaxy to handle as it is." Obi-Wan said, causing Anakin to playfully punch him.
"Do you think Palpatine knows you defected from the Empire?" Padme asked her husband as the ship made the jump to hyperspace.
"I'm positive of it. My force signature is so strong that the only Palpatine won't have sensed its shift from dark to light is if he suddenly lost his force sensitivity. My guess is that he'll be searching for a new apprentice now as we speak to serve as his enforcer." Anakin said.
"Well, as long as he doesn't come after you or our children again, we can worry about that some other day. All I care about right now is that I have my family back." Padme said with a smile as lied her head down on Anakin's chest.
"You and me both Padme." Anakin said as he kissed her forehead.
When their ship landed, Mon and Bail were among those waiting for them.
"Padme, it is so good to see you again and in such good health." Mon said as she greeted her old friend enthusiastically.
"Thank you Mon. I assume you want to see my children?" Padme asked with a smile.
"Of course, for while I am happy to see you, I really want to meet the ones you put above the rebellion for." Mon said, giving her old friend a hard time.
"Anakin and Threepio are bringing down now. I assume that our living quarters have been properly modified for them." Padme asked.
"Of course, you and Anakin will have your own barracks for you 2 to raise your family in. And speaking of your husband, since he is the former right hand of the Emperor, tell him that once you're all settled him I expect him for a full debriefing of everything he knows about the Empire." Mon said.
"I'll let him know." Padme agreed.
"The Empire has holds on nearly vital system in the galaxy and the ones it does not control, they've struck up deals with." Anakin said.
"Such as the hutts?" Ahsoka asked, since she, Obi-Wan and Yoda were also in attendance of the briefing.
"Yep. While there are some portions of the outer rim that Empire controls, a majority of it is Hutt Space and even Palpatine isn't foolish enough to try and conquer it. He'd rather ally himself with the Hutts than try to destroy them." Anakin said.
"Than why don't we try and pay Jabba a diplomatic visit. After all Anakin, you know Jabba from experience, he'll listen to you." Obi-Wan said.
"It's worth a try. But only I should go. That way no fugitive rebels or Jedi could be in danger. Besides, my half brother Owen lives on Tatooine, he could provide me with some cover." Anakin said.
"That is probably the best course of action. Make contact with him immediately and prepare to head to Tatooine." Mon said.
Anakin nodded as he walked out of the briefing room.
"Anakin, it's good to see you again. When Beru and I heard about the Jedi Purge, we feared the worst about you." Owen Lars said as Anakin established communication with him.
"It's good to see you as well Owen. How's Cliegg?" Anakin asked of his stepfather.
"He passed away last year. But I assume that's not why you've called?" Owen asked.
"You're right. I need your help, but you giving it will make you and Beru fugitives of the Empire." Anakin said.
"Family comes first, what do you need?" Owen asked.
"Safe passage onto Tatooine. I need to speak to Jabba." Anakin said.
"I'll arrange it, as long as in return, you can get me and Beru off world, since like you said, we'll be fugitives of the empire." Owen said.
"Deal." Anakin said as he ended the transmission.
"Be careful Ani." Padme said as she kissed her husband goodbye.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Hopefully Jabba will be in a convincing mood." Anakin said as he kissed his wife goodbye.
