Disclaimer: same thing


It had been several months since Hunter and Sabine's wedding and all the rebels were still fighting the Empire...well almost all. Princess Leia and Chewbacca along with Lando Calrissian,Luke,Hunter, C-3PO, R2-D2, and the rest of the Ghost crew were on a rescue mission to save Han Solo from Jabba's palace. Both Hunter and Luke walked up to the Hutt's palace,Luke was wearing a Brown Jedi cloak while Hunter was wear white armor as well as a white cloak as they approached the Palace.

"I hope Leia, Sabine and the other's are ok" Hunter said

"Yeah me too" Luke said with an attitude towards his Mentor.

"Luke how can you be made at me still?" Hunter asked "It's been forever since what happened at cloud city just get over it already"

"Hmph" Luke said as the two Jedi walked up to the gate as it opened. The two Jedi walked inside the Palace until they we're stop by two of Jabba's gaurds. The Jedi then used the force to push the gaurds back and continued forward until they were stopped by Jabba's right hand man,a Tweilk named Wygo.

"You must be Skywalker and Archer" Wygo said

"We need to speak with Jabba" Hunter said

"Jabba said there will be no bargin" Wygo said

"You will take us to Jabba now" Luke said waving had as he did a mind trick on the Tweilk.

"I will take you to Jabb now" Wygo repeated as he lead the Jedi Knights to the Hutt leader. They both notice Leia wearing a metal two peice slave outfit. Hunter then quickly spotted Zeb as now of the gaurds, Hera as one of the musicians and Sabine with her armor colored black,along with 3-PO.

"Master" Wygo said waking Jabba up from his "beauty nap" "Luke Skywalker and Hunter Archer are here"

"I told you not to admit him" Jabba said in his native language.

"We must be aloud to speak" Hunter said doing a mind trick on Wygo.

"They must be aloud to speak" Wygo repeated which made Jabba angry.

"You weak minded fool!" Jabba said pulling Wygo toward him "They're using an old Jedi mind trick" Luke was about to use a mind trick on Jabba but Hunter stopped him.

"Don't bother" Hunter said as Jabba laughed.

"He's right" The Hutt Leader said "Your mind powers don't work on me"

"Never the less,we're taking our friends back" Hunter said "This can go one of two ways Jabba. You can release our freinds and we leave and move on with our lives or you die"

"There will be no bargin,Young Jedi" Jabba said "I shall enjoy watching you die"

Jabba then pushe a button on his arm rest and the two Jedi fell throughout the floor and into some kind of dungeon. As the two stood up they heard the hatch open in front of them which revealed an unpleasant sight,A giant hungry Rancor.

"Rancors" Hunter said "Why does it always have to be Rancors!?"

The Rancor roared in hunger as it approached Hunter and Luke.

"Luke!" Hunter called as Luke faced his Mentor "I'll distracted it you find us a way out of here!"

"Ok" Luke said as he ran past the Rancor.

"Hey ugly over here!" Hunter said as he jumped on the Rancor's arm The Rancor swatted at Hunter but missed.

"Missed me!" Hunter said as he was now on the Rancor's shoulder. The Rancor swatted and missed again

"Oh so close" Hunter said now on the other shoulder. Then Rancor swatted and missed a third time.

"Hey stupid I'm right in front of you!" Hunter said as He was hanging from the Rancor's head. The Rancor swatted at Hunter again but the Jedi Knight jumped out of the way making the Rancor smack itself in the face causing it to fall over.

"Hunter I found a way out but the door is locked!" Like said as the hybrid ran up to him.

"Well we better find a way soon because Dum-Dum is getting up!" Hunter said as he watched the Rancor walk to them.

Then Luke got an idea as he threw a skull at a control switch as it made the door ram down on the Rancor killing it on impact.

"Good thinking Luke" Hunter said

Then suddenly the two were grabbed by Jabba's gaurds and brought to him. As they made their way up the stair they saw Han Solo unfrozen as well as Chewie.

"Han!" Luke called out

"Luke!" Han called back.

"You ok Han?" Hunter asked

"Hunter is that you?" Han asked

"Yeah it's me you ok?" Hunter asked

"Fine. Together again huh?" Han said

"Wouldn't miss it" Luke replied

"How we doing?" Han asked

"Same as always" Hunter replied

"That bad huh?" Han said as they we're brought in from of Jabba and 3-PO spoke up.

"His High Exaltedness the great Jabba the Hutt,has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately"

"Gee there's a shock" Hunter said sarcastically.

"You will therefore be taken to the Dune sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the resting place of the almighty Sarlac"

"Doesn't sound so bad" Han said

"In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering" 3-PO said "As you're slowly digested over 1,000 years"

Chewie then roared in fear.

"On second thought let's pass on that huh?" Han said

"You should've bargained Jabba" Luke threatened as the Crime Lord ordered them away.

"You've just made you're last mistake Jabba!" Hunter said as he heard The Hutt laughing as she and the others were pushed away.


Later in the dune sea the rebels were being held prisioner on one of the hover boats flying next to Jabba's sail barge.

"I think my eyes are getting better" Han said "Instead of a dark blur I see a light blur"

"There's nothing to see. I used to live here you know" Luke said

"You're gonna die here now" Han replied "Convenient"

"Just stay close to Chewir and Lando,Han Luke and I will take care of everything" Hunter said

"Oh...great"Han said with no confidence as the rebels then approached the Sarlac pit. It had spike like teeth,tenticles,and a large beak in the middle. Then a diving board extended and Luke was put up front.

"Victims of the almighty Sarlacc" 3-PO called out using a microphone " His Excellency hope you will die honorably. But if any of you wish to beg for mercy the great Jabba the Hutt will now listen to your pleas"

"3-PO, you tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth he'll be no such pleasure from us!" Han said

"Jabba this your last chance" Luke said "Free us or die" but the Hutt just laughed and ordered his men to get Luke in postion.

Luke then looked up and saw R2 who was in potion on the top of the sail barge then he nodded to Lando who then nodded to Hunter and then back at Lando. Jabba then ordered his minions to force Luke to drop but then Luke then twisted around, grab a hold of the diving and flipped back up and then he grab his saber which R2 had launched and ignited his new green blade.

Hunter some how got free of his cuff and whipped his sabers out of rib plates of his armor and ignited them as he and Luke attacked the of them went into the Sarlacc pit. Suddenly they wer being shot at by a blaster torrent causing Lando to almost fall in,Just then Boba Fett landed next to the rebels. He tried to aim his blaster but Luke sliced it in half before he could,then Boba wrapped a cable around Luke but Hunter cut it off causing Boba to collapse.

Luke the jump to the other hover craft and fought off the rest of Jabba's men. Boba then rose to his feet and tried to aim his wrist blaster at Luke.

"Hey Fett!" Hunter called out. The Bounty Hunter turn around but before he could respond Hunter punched Fett in the helmet with is robot arm so hard it knocked Fett right into the Sarlacc pit.

"Han!" Hunter called out to his friend "Lando's hanging off the craft help him"

"On it" Han said Hunter then jumped on to the second hover craft to help his apprentice.

"Luke forget about these guys we gotta take out that torrent!" Hunter said as Luke nodded in agreement. The two Jedi then jumped onto th sail barge and climbed to the top then took out the goons firing the torrents.

While on the barge Zeb and Hera were fighting off the rest of the gaurds. Hunter stood his own against Jabba's goons until one of the Pig gaurds knocked him down and was about to kill him until a blaster bolt shot right through the gaurds head killing bit as it collapsed to the side. Hunter looked up and saw that it was his wife Sabine who saved his life,her hair was now a length past her shoulders and was died a deep blue.

"What would you do without me?" Sabine asked as she helped her husband to his feet.

"Well I'm glad I don't have to find out anytime soon" Hunter smiling.

Then the couple heard a torrent hit the deck of the barge which was causing it to malfunction.

"We should probably get off this thing" Hunter suggested

"Ya think?" Sabine said as she grabbed Hunter by the waist and used her jet pack to get to the other craft, Luckly Hera,Zeb,3-PO,and R2 were on their already. Then the barge exploded while the others made a quick get away.


Later the Millennium Falcon,The Ghost,and Luke's X-wing all flew away from Tatooine. The Phantom then detached from the Ghost and flew along side Luke's X-wing with Hunter and Sabine inside.

"We'll meet you all back at the fleet" Hunter said flying the Phantom.

"Hurry,the alliance shoul be assembled by now" Leia said over the intercom.

"We will" Luke said over his.

"Hey guys thanks for coming after me I owe you both one" Han said

"No problem Han it's good to have you back" Hunter said.

"So where we heading now?" Sabine asked

"Dagobah" Hunter replied "Luke and I have a promise to keep to an old freind"


Later on Dagobah Sabine stay behind with R2 in the Phantom while Hunter and Luke were in Yoda's hut. Yoda walk over to his fire place,but something seemed different about him. He seemed very weak.

"Those faces you make" Yoda said to the two young Jedi "Look I so old to young eyes?"

"No, of course not" Luke replied

"I do" Yoda said as he coughed and faced the two "Yes I do...Sick have I become...old and weak"

"Master Yoda don't talk like that" Hunter said "You're one of the strongest beings we know." The old master looked at his two young friends and smiled.

"When 900 years old you two reach look as good you will not hmm?" Yoda chuckled but the chuckle turned into couching as he walked to his bed and sat on it.

"Soon will I rest,Yes. Forever sleep" Yoda said "Earned it I have"

"Master Yoda you can't die" Luke pleaded as the Master looked at him.

"Strong am I with the Force,but not that strong" Yoda said as he laid down on his bed and Hunter covered him with blankets. "Twilight is upon me and soon night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force"

"But I need your help" Luke pleaded "I've come back to complete the training"

"No more training do you require" Yoda said "Already know you that which you need"

"Then I am a Jedi" Luke said but Master Yoda just laughed whiched then turned into more coughing.

"Not yet one thing remains" Yoda said "Vader you must confront Vader then and only then a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will"

"Master Yoda, is Darth Vader my Father?" Luke asked

"Luke enough let him rest" Hunter said

"But I must know" Luke insisted

Yoda hesitated but then spoke up "You're Father is..."

Luke sat there in stunned silence as the whole time he thought Vader was lying.

"Told you did he?" Yoda asked

"Yes" Luke replied

"Unexpected this is" Yoda said "And unfortunate"

"Unfortunate that I know the truth?" Luke asked with a hint of anger.

"No!" Hunter replied as Luke turned to him "Unfortunate that you rushed to face him instead of completing your training. I warned you,Obi-wan warned you, and my Father warned you. You weren't ready for such a burden and it cost you." Luke was suddenly overflowing with guilt as realized Hunter was right.

"I'm sorry..." Luke said sadly.

"Remember a Jedi's strength flows from the Force" Yoda said "But beware anger,fear,depression the darksideare they. Once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke, Hunter...do not...do not underestimated the powers of the Emperor or suffer Vader's fate you will. Luke,Hunter when gone am I the last of the Jedi you both will be. The force runs strong in your families...Pass on what you have learned...Luke...Hunter...there is...another...Sky...walker"

And with his last breath Yoda had past on into the great beyond as the two younger Jedi were left speechless after what they just heard. There's another Skywalker out there but who was it? The two Jedi looked a the dead body of the old Master before it faded away. Master Yoda was now one with the Force.
