2 INT ALDERAAN ROOM 2

Luke is facing the camera stood in front of the circular table in the centre of the room. There is a large glass window in front of him behind the camera. On the other side of the table with there backs to the window stood quite close the window are the spirits of Anakin Ben and Yoda. Yoda in the middle with Anakin and Ben on either side. Leia is near the door behind Luke facing Luke's back smiling.

BEN Luke you have completed all the training we can give you. It is now up to you and Leia to save the rebellion. You will, how ever need the help of someone that only I and Yoda know of; we had to keep his presences away from you Anakin when you turned to the dark side. Luke, you and Leia have a brother.

LUKE But when master Yoda spoke of another you said that other was Leia. So the other was not Leia?

BEN No. I decided that it was time for me to tell you that you had a sister before the force did. Had the force told you; you may have faced some problems: you may have lost faith in the force like you lost face in myself and Yoda. We could not risk that happening.

LUKE So what you chose to tell me was true from a certain point of view.

BEN Yes.

LUKE I have felt the presence of someone that could help the rebellion but I have not known who or what it was. But my thought was Leia.

BEN Anakin we had to not tell you of this child for the sake of the rebellion. If you had told the emperor about this child it would have been the end of it for all of us.

ANAKIN I do understand. I am very sorry I ever betrayed and used the force wrongly.

BEN Luke, your brother Leighton now lives on the planet Godhung in the Swift galaxy; you must go and find him.

ANAKIN Go but remember if the Emperor finds out about him before you do or if he finds Leia then we are all in trouble.

YODA Go my young Jedi go. May the force be with you?

ANAKIN Remember we will be with you when you need us.

Leia walks forward and Luke come to meet her. Leia kisses Luke and they both exit. The spirits fade

3 INT ALDERAAN CORRIDOR 3

In the corridor Luke and Leia walk side by side in deep discussion. Camera zooms in on them and the voices begin to be heard.

LEIA You must find Han if you are going to find Leighton, you will need his help.

LUKE We will go now and drop you off with the rebellion, there you will be safe till I have found him. If you are in any danger the force will tell me.

LEIA I know I can feel it as well sometimes.
