REVENGE OF THE JEDI
EPILOGUE
By Jonathan Evans
The victory celebrations commenced on the lead Rebel Cruiser.
Within seconds of the Death Star's explosion all of the
surviving Imperial Star Destroyers had entered hyperspace. It
was decided that they could be captured later. For now it was
time to wallow in the fact that the Alliance had come out on
top.
The escape pods from the Millennium Falcon were brought into
the docking bay. Lando and Nien Nunb staggered out looking
worse for wear but happy that they had survived the experience.
"I'm not looking forward to facing Han," Calrissian smiled a
little. "When he finds out what I've done to his ship he'll
never speak to me again."
Mon Mothma and the rest of the greetings party did not
respond. Suddenly it struck Lando. He realised what had happened.
"How... how did he die?"
"He destroyed the shield generator from the inside," Mothma
replied. "He sacrificed himself for the Rebellion."
"But WHY???" Lando shouted out. "Why did he have to be the
one to go? It should have been me! I owed him so much yet I
was the one to survive!"
"The ways of the Force can never be understood..."
Calrissian looked around to see Adi Gallia. She walked closer
to him and he smiled a little. "At least your battle went
well," he said.
"We have to talk, General," the Jedi Master told him.
"Not yet. I have to see Leia..."
"It is important that you come with me," Adi continued in an
annoyingly persistant manner. "I have something important to
tell you - about your past."
"My past?" Lando asked, his face filled with confusion.
* * * * * * * *
Leia stood alone in her quarters. The lights were turned
down to match her sad, solemn state of mind. Tears ran freely
down her cheeks for the first time and she fell to her knees.
"What am I supposed to do now?" she pleaded to no one in
particular. "Where is my life supposed to go?"
Her eyes were lifted by a blue glow that filled the entire
room. Standing before her were General Kenobi, a short green
alien with wise, caring eyes and Luke. Her brother smiled
at her and held out his hand. Leia went to touch it but it
moved through him.
"The Force will guide you, my sister," he said. "I will
always be there for you whenever you need me. I am to be
your guide in the ways of the Force as Ben and Master Yoda
were for me." Kenobi and the alien nodded. Luke continued.
"The journey will be hard but you will take it in a time
of peace and prosperity. You have the future in your hands
and it is a good future. May the Force be with you, my
dearest Leia..."
The ghosts faded away. Leia felt empty and filled with power
at the same time. She got to her feet and looked at the spot
where Luke had stood. She knew she had not seen the last of
him.
A pair of hands rested on her shoulders. She turned to see
her father standing behind her. "Did you see...?" she said
smiling through the tears. He nodded. The princess hugged
her father tightly. Tomorrow would be another day but right
now she wanted to be as close to her only living family member
as she could...
* * * * * * * *
Miles away on the Imperial planet of Coruscant, Mara Jade
opened her eyes after the pain had left her. The loss filled
her entire body. She got slowly to her feet, not remembering
how she ended up on the floor in the first place.
Her master's words echoed in her mind. "You will kill Leia
Organa..."
"Yes, my Emperor," she hissed quietly.
THE END???????
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I hope everyone enjoyed that. It was my biggest fan fiction feat and I myself am pretty impressed with how it went and the positive comments I received. Again, I thank everyone who reviewed each chapter.
On another note, I'm planning a continuation of the story - kind of an alternate expanded universe following on from Revenge of the Jedi. The REPUBLIC SAGA will begin soon, the first chapter starting as soon as I find out if anyone is interested in reading the continuing adventures of Leia, Anakin and the New Republic as it enters the era of VENGEANCE.... hopefully the first in a line of stories of the new New Republic....
