Luke,
You probably know now that it is all over the news. I did not foresee this course
of events. I apologise.
Yes, Anakin Skywalker and I are the same person.
How are you coping? Have the reporters been plaguing you?

Apprentice,
I am severely disappointed. You did not manage to bury the ghost of Anakin
Skywalker completely, now deal with the consequences.As a disciplinary measure,
you will present yourself in my palace within 72 hours, where you will have your
right (artificial) hand severed by means of a lightsabre, to remind you of the
price of failure.
I want the Skywalker whelp caught within a month.
Sidious

Luke,
You didn't come to our little get-together and that has me seriously worried. Don't
isolate yourself! I realize, all this news about Vader being Anakin Skywalker must
have come as a shock - hell, it was a shock for all of us! But you cannot let it pull
you down. You are not Vader, you are completely different! You are a hero and a
good friend. He can never be that.
Please, know that my cabin is always open if you want to talk.
Keep well, and chin up,
Leia.

Luke,
Why do you not reply?
Surely you must understand, I had my reasons for keeping the truth from you.
One of the reasons is the very thing that is going on in the media.
Keep safe, and if the reporters harass you, do not hesitate to let me know.
Darth Vader

Luke,
If you do not let me know within the next twenty hours that you are alive and well,
I shall have to assume that you have come to bodily harm, and take appropriate
fleet action.
Darth Vader

What in the stars do you imagine I have to say to you? Aww, thankee, dad, how
incredibly sweet that you care? Why didn't you tell me? You're just as bad as
everyone else. I asked you to tell me clearly what happened to my father; I *begged*
you!!! Like it's not enough that people point their fingers, saying, look, Vader's
whelp. No, I HAVE TO HEAR IT FROM A FRICKIN BLOODY HOLOCHANNEL!!!
How cool is that?
You can't even bring yourself to call yourself father, or something. You sign your
messages Darth Vader. Well, I tell you what. My father was Anakin Skywalker. I have
nothing to do with one Darth Vader, torturer and murderer.
No, I don't think we have anything to say to each other. Next time I see you in that
bloody hunchbacked TIE of yours, I hope to blast you to smithereens.

REPORT no 3
Everything normal so far. V sending out thousands of space probes, readying his
fleet. It is my impression that he is, indeed, carrying out his mission.
There is still contact with the Skywalker whelp.
Faithfully yours,
Mara Jade
