Epilogue
Twenty-One Years Later…
"Luke Skywalker," Anakin Skywalker said lifting his lightsaber above his head while the rest of the Senior Members surrounded Luke Skywalker who was kneeling for him. "You have passed the Trials and you are hereby given the title of Jedi…" he swung his lightsaber to slice through his son's Padawan braid, "…Knight of the Jedi Order and the Republic."
Luke picked up the braid before gazing up at Anakin and he smiled. "Thank you, Father," he said softly.
Anakin smiled before he placed a hand on Luke's shoulder. "No need for thanks. You deserve this," he said before he added quietly, "In more ways than one. I haven't forgotten of how you helped me out twenty-one years ago."
Luke smiled.
Leia Skywalker gazed at Han Solo with a small smile on her face. "My father should be home any minute now from Luke's knighting ceremony," she said.
"Oh goody," Han said sarcastically.
"Oh come on, Anakin likes you."
Han smiled at Leia before gently kissing her on the forehead. "I know," he murmured. "I discovered that out when I first met him twenty-one years ago."
Leia laughed.
Padmé walked over to join them before placing a few sweetcakes on the table and Han gazed hungrily at the cakes before he stretched out a hand and took the cake into his hand before he started to eat it. Leia chuckled while Padmé smiled before shaking her head and sighing.
"Hungry?" Luke's voice asked and Han and Leia glanced up as Luke walked into the room with Anakin and Obi-Wan just behind him.
Han flushed before finishing eating the sweetcake. "Sorry," he said before he stood up.
"Don't worry about it," Luke said with a shrug.
Leia got to her feet before she walked to Luke's side and wrapped her arms around her brother. "Congratulations," she whispered.
"Thank you, Leia," Luke replied hugging Leia back.
Anakin put his arms around his children before smiling and turning his gaze to Han. "Han," he greeted Leia's boyfriend.
"Ah, Anakin," Han replied lowering his head in greeting.
"I never did have a proper introduction to my daughter's boyfriend twenty-one years ago," Anakin said.
Han scowled briefly before walking to Leia's side. "Father, this is Han Solo, my boyfriend, Han this is Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker," Leia said.
"Nice to meet ya," Han said stretching out a hand and Anakin took it before shaking it.
"You too," he replied before he glanced at Leia and shrugged. "He'll do. If he hurts you though, I'll just cut him up into small pieces and drop him from the top of the tallest skyscraper."
Han paled at that.
"Oh stop that, Anakin," Obi-Wan protested. "You never mean your threats anyway."
Anakin laughed. "True," he admitted.
"Well, at least your father ain't as scary as Vader," Han whispered to Leia.
"Shush," Leia retorted.
Whether or not Anakin had heard Han's words was never decided that day however. Soon after the introduction between Anakin and Han were made, dinner was served. Padmé and Anakin as well as the rest of the Skywalker family gathered around the table to feast on a delightful dinner created by Padmé.
Peace once again existed in the galaxy, the galaxy was in an era of tranquility, the Separatists were disbanded and arrested, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, otherwise known as Darth Sidious, was gone, destroyed by the light side of the Force. The prophecy has been fulfilled and the Force, after years of being in a state of constant chaos, was finally balanced.
