They landed in the royal hanger in Theed. Leia went into the Falcon to change clothes. Captain Panaka met the group in the hanger. "We can't thank you enough for returning that starship. What did Vader what with it? "Panaka asked "He wanted to destroy anything and everything that had to do with Padme Amidala his late wife. Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker who was brainwashed by Emperor Palpatine. "Luke explained Leia came down the ramp wearing her normal white dress with the hood up. "I am Princess Leia Organa however my real name is Leia Skywalker, and he is Luke Skywalker. "Leia pointed to Luke as she spoke. "Really? Padme gave birth. "Panaka asked "Yes, she did, and we need to see her family. It's time they found out what really happened to her. "Leia said
They took a speeder to the Naberrie house. Ruwee Naberrie Padme's father answered the door. "Captain Panaka what are you doing here? "Ruwee asked "I have brought the children of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala here to meet you. "Captain Panaka replied "That is Luke Skywalker, and that woman is Princess Leia Organa whose real name is Leia Skywalker. "Captain Panaka explained Luke and Leia walked into the house She looks a lot like Padme. "Jobal said "What happened to my daughter how did she die? We were told her unborn child died with her "Ruwee asked "Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda hid us because we would generate too strong a force signature if we used the force together. They didn't want the sith to find us. "Leia explained "Anakin and Padme got married in secret because the jedi order at the time did not allow such attachments. "Luke said "They loved each other dearly. "Leia said "When did the trouble start? "Jobal asked "After the battle of Coruscant when Anakin learned Padme was pregnant. He started having visions of her dying in childbirth. "Leia explained "Anakin told Yoda that he had visions of someone close to him dying. He said nothing about being married or Padme being pregnant. "Luke explained "Palpatine lied to him about his master Darth Plagueis teaching him how to keep the ones he loved from dying. Palpatine tried to kill Padme twice before the clone wars. He feared her because she stood up to him and spoke out against his policies without fear in the senate. "Leia said "Palpatine manipulated Anakin through the visions. I had similar visions on Dagobah while training of Han and Leia in trouble on Cloud City. Leia convinced me to stay and finished my training. "Luke said "Palpatine figured he could kill two birds with one stone. Anakin and Padme. Anakin injured Mace Windu during a battle with Palpatine. After that he became Darth Vader. Vader led the attack on the jedi temple and then went to Mustafar. Padme followed him there and didn't know Obi Wan stowed away on her ship. When she confronted Vader on Mustafar he force choked her when Obi Wan appeared. She survived that. Obi Wan took Padme to Polis Massa where she gave birth to us. Afterward she died of a broken heart caused by Palpatine turning her husband to the dark side. "Leia explained
Ruwee turned red in the face and screamed "Palpatine is bantha fodder! I will waste him! "Luke and Leia restrained Ruwee "YOU CAN" T FIGHT HIM YOU CAN'T! "Leia shouted "He will kill you before you even get near him. "How are you going to deal with him? "Ruwee asked "We will go to a planet called Exegol and destroy his base there. Without it his spirit can't enter the body of a clone when he dies. He will be cornered. "Leia explained "The loss of his wife Padme is the worst pain Vader suffers from. He knows he was tricked into hurting her. He sits and watches a hologram of her and listens to Forever Autmn by Jeff Wayne. A sad song about a man separated from his lover due to a Martian invasion of his planet. Anakin was separated from his wife by Palpatine. "Leia said Ruwee calmed down and sat again "We may have a way of saving Padme called force heal a friend in a different timeline told me. I have traveled back in time to this point in time after fighting a second war against Palpatine. "Leia groaned
"A second war? "Ruwee asked "His spirit passed into the body of a clone there after the empire was defeated at Endor in the first timeline. He created the first order and then the final order to retake the galaxy. They were defeated by the resistance a movement I created after the new republic senate became corrupt "Leia explained "Sounds like you have been busy Leia. "Jobal replied "Can you take us to the the tomb of Queen Amidala? It's time to bring our mother back. "Leia asked
They took a speeder to Queen Amidala's tomb. A statue of Queen Amidala stood in front of it. The group entered the tomb and approached the concrete coffin of Padme Amidala. Luke and Leia opened it up to reveal the body of Padme Amidala in a dark green dress with little flowers in her hair. "Luke touch her hands and start channeling the force into her. "Leia explained They started force healing their mother. Nothing happened for a while. The twins gave up and then Padme's hands moved. She looked around and screamed. 'Where am I? "Padme asked "Padme it's alright. "Jobal said "Your children brought you back to life. You are in your tomb. "Ruwee explained the twins helped Padme out of the coffin. "Mother! "The twins shouted "Luke and Leia! "Padme shouted in return Padme hugged them together. "I haven't seen you since birth. "Padme sobbed They separated, and Padme looked at Leia's dress. "What are you supposed to be? "Padme asked "I am Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. I was adopted by Bail and Breha Organa. "Leia explained "Well that explains the white dress and what is Luke's story? "Padme asked "I was raised on Tatooine by Owen and Beru Lars. "Luke explained "You both have lightsabers are you knights? "Padme asked "Yes, we are and that's how we brought you back. We have a lot to talk about. We should head home and discuss it there. "Leia said "Who are you? "Padme asked Han Solo "He is a former smuggler and helped the rebellion several times. He is my boyfriend "Leia explained "Oh "Padme responded as they walked out of the tomb.
When they got back home Luke and Leia explained everything to Padme who became enraged afterward. "That son of a nerf herder! Why couldn't he leave Anakin alone and find some other Jedi to use as his slave. "Padme growled "The jedi thought father was the chosen one who would bring balance to the force. "Luke said "How could I not know Palpatine was the sith lord. When I went to the senate as Queen Amidala, he tried to talk me into calling for a vote of no confidence before we got in the senate pod and then he waved his hand in front of me saying you could call for a vote of no confidence. I think it was a jedi trick the one they use on weak minded people to make then do what the jedi want. "Padme groaned "The jedi mind trick. He must have tried to use it on your mother. "Luke explained "He must have made Anakin have those visions of me dying in childbirth. They must have been of me after giving birth dying of a broken heart. I played right into Palpatine's hands. "Padme growled "Mother you didn't know he was evil. He tricked everyone then. "Leia replied "First he destroys the republic and then my family for what? An empire that doesn't work. That's why he needs a death star to force people into submission. Then he turns my Ani into a cyborg killing machine. Maybe he killed me as well. "Padme growls "Father misses you. He has a hologram of you in his fortress on Mustafar and he listens to Forever Autumn by Jeff Wayne. It's the worst pain he suffers from. "Leia explained "What was I wearing in that hologram? "Padme asked "A blue dress with beads around your arms just below your shoulders. "Leia answered "One of my nightgowns. His favorite. "Padme said "I could sense what he felt, and he could sense what I feel. It was a link of some kind. "Padme explained "A force link. It's happening when jedi find their true loves. "Obi Wan Kenobi's ghost said
"He became one with the force after he died. "Luke explained "He doesn't deserve to be a ghost after what he did. He left me behind on Geonosis when I fell out of the gunship, we were riding in. Obi Wan told Anakin if I was in his place, I would leave him and do my duty. Guess what Anakin lost in arm because of that. It made him start looking like Darth Vader. You tried to keep him from marrying me and loving me for what? A stupid useless jedi code. Are you suffering from Asperger's syndrome Obi Wan? You missed a lot of social ques like that one. "Padme asked "And don't get me started about Satine. You turned your back on her and she was killed by Darth Maul. My children told me that love is the key to defeating the sith. How could you jedi not know that? "Padma growled "Do you know how much pain I suffer from? Losing you, Anakin, and Satine. The fall of the jedi order and the republic. "Obi Wan groaned "The code said no attachments at the time. Anakin's attachment to you brought him down. "Obi Wan continued "Our marriage didn't bring him down. If I haven't married him Palpatine would have found something else to cause him to be consumed by fear. "Padme answered "He is more machine now twisted and evil. "Obi Wan said "There is still good in him. I can feel it. He can be turned. "Padme said "Once a jedi falls to the dark side they are gone forever. "Obi Wan explained "That is an absolute belief of yours not mine or my children's "Padme groaned "Only sith believe in absolutes "Obi Wan said "You believe in absolutes and don't see it. Wake up Obi Wan he is your friend, and you turned your back on him. Help him or leave "Padme growled Obi Wan faded away.
"Where did you get our names from? "Luke asked "Luke means new dawn. Leia was named after a warrior goddess. Her picture is on the wall behind me. "Padme says Leia walks over and looks at the painting. It shows a woman throwing a spear wearing an outfit like Leia's slave outfit. "Was she a slave of a hutt? "Leia asked Luke looked at the painting. "What happened to her? "Luke asked Padme turned towards the painting. "She died fighting the sith so her children could escape. Her body disappeared when she died, and she was never a slave "Padme explained "Maybe she became one with the force like Obi Wan "Luke said "Even her clothes were lost to history. "Padme said "What are the chances I ended up with her outfit? "Leia asked "Doubtful" Padme answered. They headed to bed
Darth Vader was in his Tie Advanced headed towards Coruscant when he felt a strange presence. "Anakin where are you? What did he do to you? "Padme asked "Angel is that you? "Vader asked "Our children brought me back to life. Please come back to the light. Palpatine is just using you. 'Padme said Padme was in bed wearing the same nightgown with beads she wore in the hologram. "I said I was sorry and forgave you when I was dying. "Padme sobbed "It is too late for me angel. "Vader replied "There is still good in you Ani you can turn back. "Padme replied Vader landed at Imperial Center
Leia was asleep when she had a vision. Leia found herself wearing her slave outfit and heard a voice. "Princess Leia you are me. "The voice said "Who are you? "Leia asked "I am you and you are me. The warrior goddess Leia. "The voice answered Leia searched her feelings. "I am the warrior goddess Leia. I traveled thru time after I died thousands of years ago. I became Leia Skywalker only to fail to defeat the sith. I traveled back in time to a point earlier in my life to defeat them. "Leia said in the goddess's voice "Padme is a goddess as well. She was one of my soldiers during the war thousands of years ago. "Leia said and Padme heard it as well. They both woke up and walked out of their bedrooms and turned to each other. "Leia, I gave up too easily and that's why I died. I was wrong "Padme said They both went back to bed
Darth Vader walked into the imperial palace on Coruscant. He entered the throne room where Emperor Palpatine was waiting. He bowed before the emperor. "Rise my friend. There has been a great disturbance in the force. "Palpatine said "I have felt it my master. "Vader replied "What do you think has caused it? "Palpatine asked "I believe Princess Leia is behind it and she may have brought someone back from the dead. The former senator Padme Amidala. "Vader explained "Are your feelings on the matter clear? "Palpatine asks "They are clear. "Vader replies "Why were you coming here before we felt the disturbance in the force? "Palpatine asked "My children entered my fortress on Mustafar and stole my sith wayfinder. I believe they intend to attack Exegol. "Vader said "How do they know about Exegol? "Palpatine asked "Princess Leia said she had traveled back in time from a future in which she was fighting another galactic conflict. "Vader explained "Then we will go to Exegol and wait for them "Palpatine said "They will come to us? "Vader asked "Yes and we will turn them to the dark side. "Palpatine said
