Epilogue: Endor
After Kaluko had picked Dack and the others up, the young Jedi had told the Gungan and R7 everything that had happened. Kaluko thanked everyone for letting him tag along, as he had always wanted to work alongside a Jedi. Soon, the Jetstream was flying overtop of Corosant. The whole city seemed to be celebrating something. Whatever it was, it was something BIG.
As the Jetstream flew by a palace-type building, Dack and his friends noticed hundreds of people pulling a giant statue of Emperor Palpatine to the ground.
(Author's note: This is a scene from the end of the special edition of ROTJ, in case you didn't know)
Dack then noticed something flying through the sky: Three Rebel X-Wings! Dack turned to his Gungan pilot.
"Kaluko! Follow those X-Wings!" Dack instructed. "Maybe we'll find out what's going on!"
"Yes, sir!" Kaluko replied as he steered the ship towards the X-Wings.
The Jetstream followed the three fighters at a safe distance so there wouldn't be any suspicion that they were following them. Soon, Dack and the others found themselves flying through space again.
After following the fighters for two minutes, D'looa noticed where they were going.
"Hey. They're heading towards the forest moon of Endor." D'looa observed.
"So they are." Dack replied. He then turned to his pilot. "Okay, Kaluko. Go towards that moon over there."
"Will sa-do!" Kaluko replied as he turned the ship some more.
The Jetstream broke through the ozone layer of the forest moon of Endor. They followed the X-Wings and ended up at a large village of Ewoks. On closer inspection, the group noticed that the Ewoks were having a very large celebration with the entire Rebel Alliance.
"Oooooooo." R7 whirred in amazement, looking out a low window and down at the celebration.
"Kaluko! Let's land this thing outside of the village and we'll try to get in from there!" Dack said.
"What makes you so sure that they'll let us in to begin with?" Nick asked.
"Hey, I AM a member of the Rebel Alliance, you know!" Dack replied.
The Jetstream landed just outside of the Ewok village. Dack, D'looa, Nick, Ecks, R7 and Kaluko stepped out of the ship and walked towards the two Ewoks at the entrance to the village. Befgore the group could enter the village, the two Ewoks growled and held their battle spears in front of the entrance.
"Hey, hey, hey! Watch it!" Dack said, waving his hands in front of his face. "I'm a friend of your guests." The Ewoks still wouldn't budge. Dack noticed two Rebel pilots talking just inside the village. "Hobbie! Wes! Tell these guys that we're with you!"
The two pilots turned around. Indeed, it was Hobbie and Wes. They both stared at Dack with wide eyes, then went over to the two Ewoks.
"He's telling the truth!" Hobbie said. "He's with us!"
The Ewoks let Dack and his friends inside the village. Dack was immediately greeted by his fellow pilots.
"Dack! You're alive!" Wes exclaimed. "But how did you survive?"
"I survived because I was told that I have above-level strength." Dack replied.
"But Luke says that the only ones to achieve that level of strength are-" Hobbie started before noticing Dack's lightsaber on his belt. "-Jedis."
"You're a Jedi?!" Wes asked. "What have you been doing since the battle of Hoth?!"
"I'll tell you guys later!" Dack replied. "But right now I have to find Luke and Wedge!"
"I think they're over in that direction." Hobbie said, pointing to his left.
"Thanks, guys." Dack said before walking through the village. Most of the rebels recognized Dack, but there were a few who didn't because of Dack's new getup.
After walking for a little while longer, Dack finally found his two best friends. Wedge was talking to Zev, a few other pilots and several Ewoks. Luke was standing with Leia, Han, Chewie, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Lando. Lando was clapping to the beat of the music that the Ewoks were playing on their drums. Everyone was in a group and was standing in front of Admiral Ackbar, who was getting ready to take a picture of them all together.
(Author's note: This is the final scene from ROTJ before the credits roll)
"LUKE! WEDGE!" Dack called out to his friends. "LUKE! WEDGE!"
Wedge turned away from the people he was talking to and, after Ackbar took the picture, Luke turned away from his group of friends. Both of Dack's buddies stared at their newly-arrived friend with wide eyes. Suddenly, a wide smile appeared on each of their faces.
"DACK!" Luke cried as he rushed towards his friend. The rest of his friends followed.
"You're alive!" Wedge exclaimed as he too rushed towards Dack.
Luke and Wedge reached Dack and the three of them got into a big group hug.
"Man, guys!" Dack exclaimed, crying tears of happiness. "You guys can't BELIEVE how much I've missed you!"
"We should say the same thing to YOU, Dack!" Wedge replied as the three broke from the hug. "We thought you were dead!"
"Yeah! How'd you survive?" Luke asked. "I mean, you took a blaster shot to the chest and were flatted by an AT-AT."
"I survived because I have amazing strength beyond the level of a normal human being." Dack replied. "I think my level of strength would match yours, Luke."
"But how?" Luke laughed. "You'd have to be a JEDI to have such strength!"
Dack looked over at D'looa, Nick and Ecks, who all nodded. All four pulled out their lightsabers and showed them to Luke, Wedge and the rest of the gang. Luke stared at his buddy with wide eyes.
"Dack...You're a JEDI?!" Luke exclaimed.
"Yep. And so are three of my friends here." Dack replied. "I guess you aren't the LAST of the Jedi after all."
"Could you introduce us to your friends?" Leia asked.
"Sure." Dack replied, pointing to D'looa. "This is D'looa. I saved her from Jabba's palace and we've been together ever since."
"Pleasure to meet you, everyone." D'looa said.
Dack then pointed at Nick. "This is-" Lando cut him off.
"Hey, wait a minute." Lando said as he walked over to Nick. "Nick Tremboole? Is that you?"
"It sure is, mister Calrissian." Nick replied with a smile.
"You know this guy, Lando?" Han asked.
"Sure I do. He's one of the guards at Bespin." Lando replied, smiling. "But never in my wildest DREAMS would I have thought that he'd become a Jedi!"
"You mean that Dack was on Bespin?" Luke asked.
"Yeah. In fact, he came by around the time the Empire took over the city." Lando replied. "But I never knew that you guys had known him."
"Anyway," Dack continued, pointing at Ecks. "This is Ecks. D'looa, Nick and I met him on Naboo and recruited him there."
Ecks chattered in his native language as he politely bowed. Wedge smiled.
"A Jawa Jedi?" Wedge asked. Ecks quickly nodded his head, which made the usual rattling noise as he did so. "Now I've seen everything."
"This is Kaluko Binks." Dack said, pointing at Kaluko. "We also met him on Naboo. He's the grandson of the great Jar Jar Binks and he proved to be a great pilot for us."
"Me-sa THRILLED to be-sa in you-sa presence!" Kaluko exclaimed as he shook Wedge's and Luke's hands at once.
"Likewise." Wedge chuckled.
"And I'm sure you know R7." Dack said, pointing down at R7. "You guys left him at the old Rebel base on Hoth."
"Oh, man!" Wedge exclaimed. "I KNEW we forgot something!"
"Well Dack, I'd think that you'd have quite a story to tell." Luke said. "You think you can tell us?"
"You have a lot of time on your hands?" Dack asked.
"We have all the time in the galaxy." Han replied, grinning. "The Empire's been destroyed, and our troubles are over."
While Dack told everyone his story, the rest of his team went off to talk with some of the Rebel pilots and Ewoks. R7, in the meantime, started telling R2 everything that had happened while R2 listened carefully.
Meanwhile, the ghost of Mace Windu appeared away from the party, alongside of three other ghosts: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker.
"I envy you, master Windu." Obi-Wan told Windu. "You've trained those four to fight and they've succeeded in ridding the galaxy of four evil Jedis."
"Thank you, my friend." Windu replied. "But I should be the one to envy YOU. I mean, you trained the boy who would get the great Darth Vader to come back to the light side of the force." Windu placed a hand on Anakin's shoulder. "How do you feel, Anakin?"
"Very fine, master Windu." Anakin replied. "I feel much better without the weight of all that machinery." Anakin sighed happily and looked at Luke and Dack. "I'm so proud of my son and your students, master Windu. I mean, they just might have saved the galaxy from a fate worse than death."
"That they have, Anakin." Windu replied, staring at the reunited friends. "That they have."
