The Executor was in hyperspace. Luke and Mara Jade were in Princess Leia's quarters. Leia was watching more holonet reports.
"You guys are getting friendly. "Leia said to Luke and Mara. "Look at this. "Leia point to a holo projector
"What do you feel about jedi handling of Anakin Skywalker? "A male reporter asked a woman "Horrible the way they treated him. Didn't even let him be a master. Even tired to force him to break up with his wife. Who were they to do that? "The woman asked
The reporter asked a man "Monsters! Didn't even help that guy's wife. No wonder he became Darth Vader. Their as evil as the sith. 'The man groaned
A married couple was asked next "Me give up my marriage for jedi training. Heck No! "The man in the couple said
Finally, another woman was asked the same question "Murderers! That poor senator didn't deserve to die and leave her children alone in the world. "The woman answered
Princess Leia switched to a feed coming from Naboo. "People here are outraged at the jedi even more that most other people in the galaxy. "A female report wearing an outfit similar to Padme's orange vacation outfit. "Many on Naboo want the remaining jedi to come out of hiding and bring Padme Amidala back to life or stand trial for murder. Others want Padme's son Luke Skywalker to burn his lightsaber and allow the jedi order to die completely. We are aware that the super star destroyer Executor with Anakin Skywalker is on its way here so that Anakin Skywalker can bring his beloved wife back to him and the galaxy. Many are doubtful it can be done. How can such a group of people be so ignorant to such a marriage in their mist and allow it to be so tragically destroyed is the question of the day. Already many are calling for jedi and sith outside of the Skywalkers to be banned from ever setting foot on Naboo again "the reporter continues
Princess Leia shut the holo projector off "This sucks if Jedi are banned from every planet in the galaxy there will be no way to stop the sith from returning. People won't have a clue what a sith looks like "Luke groaned
Anakin walked in after seeing the report "I can understand the people of Naboo being angry about their beloved former queen and senator dying in front of a jedi master who did nothing to save her. However, banning jedi, jedi arts, and the sith isn't going to solve the problem. "Anakin groaned
"The sith as we have seen can be quite manipulative. How do you think Palpatine created the empire? Not with jedi tricks mind you. Even he couldn't mind trick the whole senate at once. "Anakin added
"The force is in pain. Not just from the sith but from the jedi misusing it as well. All the lives lost to the sith and even Alderaan's destruction itself is causing it so much pain. "Anakin explained
"It created Padme Amidalla Naberrie for me. It wanted me to be happy and the jedi didn't get the message. Sure, Padme helped defeat the trade federation invasion of Naboo, was a Senator, and fought in the Clone Wars, but most importantly she was meant to be my wife. "Anakin explained
"It wants us to be together again it just doesn't know how to "Anakin ended
"Luke and Leia, I know you're in love with other people. Don't let any no attachments nonsense ruin that. "Anakin warned
"Han will meet us at Naboo. "Princess Leia said "tell him to wait on this ship. "Anakin answered
"I will go on holonet and explain what happened to our father and try to calm people down. "Luke said
The Executor reached Naboo, and the falcon landed on it. Han and Chewie met Leia and Mara. Leia looked worried as Han wrapped his arms around her and they kissed. After the separated Leia spoke "Luke is going to speak on holonet about the current hatred for the jedi. "Who is she? "Han pointed to Mara Jade "She is Luke's friend Mara Jade a former emperor's hand "Leia asked
Luke spoke over holonet "Fellow citizens of the galaxy. My sister told you that the jedi murdered our mother. The problem is that they were ill prepared to train our father Anakin Skywalker. He was taken from his mother at age 9 after he had formed an attachment to her. When she was killed by a tribe of tuskin raider none of the jedi comforted him for the loss or counseled him. He killed an entire tribe of sandpeople even the women and children out of anger. None of the jedi tried to discuss his actions that night with him. They didn't care. When he and my mother married, they kept their marriage secret which hurt them both. This was done out of fear he would be expelled from the jedi order and mother would be forced out of the senate. That was horrible. When father had visions of mother dying in childbirth, she wanted to return to Naboo to raise us. Father still wanted to become a jedi master and reach his full potential which blinded him in seeing that everything he could ever want was in front of him when he looked at Padme when she was pregnant with us. He wanted to stop people from dying and he couldn't lose our mother. When he went to the jedi council that day he was put on the council but denied the rank of master without any explanation. He felt that he was a slave to the jedi just like he was a slave in his childhood. Even when he told Master Yoda about the visions without telling him he was married, and his wife was pregnant. Yoda said to sever the attachment. How could Yoda one of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy not see into his mind and realize he was married? Then they sent the two Jedi closest to him Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda away to other planets just when he needed them the most. They asked father to spy on Palpatine who had been grooming him to become Darth Vader. Obi Wan Kenobi and father were best friends. How could Obi Wan not know that Anakin was married to Padme for three years. He could have saved both my parents. He suffered a great loss of his own. When he fell in love with woman named Duchess Satine of Madarlore he refused to marry her because of the rules requiring no attachments she was killed by Darth Maul and he suffered a great loss. The jedi didn't even notice that father's love and marriage to our mother was making him stronger. To them love was a disease, and it was the key to defeating the sith the whole time. When father needed love the most when he stood in Palpatine's office with Mace Windu standing over Palpatine he was denied it by fear. Mace never even tried to calm him down. Father cut Mace's hand off and became Darth Vader. When his angel our mother died of sadness after giving birth to us Palpatine lied and said he killed her. He screamed noooo. The pain of that loss was so unbearable that it caused him to inflict pain and suffering on others as Darth Vader. The only thing that kept him from dying of sadness was the dark side of the force which wouldn't let go. He even tortured my sister on the Death Star and forced her to watch the destruction of her home planet Alderaan from the over bridge on the Death Star. He even cut off my hand in a duel on Cloud City where he wanted me to join him in ruling the galaxy because he needed love badly. I refused and didn't believe him at first. I could see he was going thru a lot of pain and suffering and now I know why. He lost his angel his wife and it still haunts him. On the second Death Star when I lay being hit by Emperor Palpatine's force lightning I begged my father to save me. I could see he was in conflict again. He looked back and forth at me and Palpatine. Then he turned on Palpatine and threw him over a railing to his death out of love for me. Love was the key to defeating the sit and the jedi were blind to it until it was too late. Father has special needs and the jedi did not tend to. Two jedi lost their true loves because of a failure of the jedi to evolve. How do you think Palpatine was able to take over the republic and turn it into the empire without the jedi knowing he was a sith? Because of their Arrogance. When mother lay dying of a broken heart after giving birth to us Obi Wan Kenobi who was there could do nothing to save her other then bringing father back from Mustafar. He left father there because of outdated jedi beliefs that once a person turns to the dark side they can't turn back. Wrong father turned back from the dark side. The pain of losing his beloved angel his wife Padme Amidala is unbearable. We are going to Naboo to try and bring her back. If this attempt fails, I believe father will died of sadness like mother as the pain will become too unbearable for him to live. Obi Wan and Yoda's decision to hide my sister and myself from father was done in good faith, but it may have made things worse. If father knew we were alive he might have turned back to the light. If or mother had lived she might have led the rebel alliance and brough the empire down sooner. Our entire family are victims of the old jedi order. The jedi killed Padme Amiidala by accident due to arrogance which caused then not see their threat and father's problems until it was too late. "Luke said
Luke finished hie speech and went back to his family. "How was that? "Luke asked everyone
"Very moving. "Leia answered "Maybe they will calm down. "Han added "Luke you are right. If this attempt fails, I will die of sadness. "Anakin warns "Luke and Leia come with me. The rest of you stay here. It's now or never "Anakin ordered Luke kissed Mara Jade goodbye as the trio headed to Naboo.
