The Clone Wars were over, leaving an entire galaxy in ruin. The Jedi Knights were all but extinct after Order 66. The Old Republic-the democratic galactic government that had prevailed peace across the galaxy for almost 25,000 years-had been replaced by the Galactic Empire. The Supreme ruler of the Empire was the evil Emperor Palpatine, a shadowy Sith Lord named Darth Sidious, and together with his powerful apprentice, Darth Vader, it seemed nothing could escaped the Dark Side of the Force. The Sith Lord began to hunger for more power and began to expand his rule and crush all remnants of the Old Republic, approving the construction of a secret super weapon that was capable of destroying a planet.
Only The Empire was not without opposition because an Alliance to Restore the Republic-commonly known as the Rebel Alliance-led the fight to overturn the Empire and bring justice and freedom back to the galaxy. Which caused a spark of hope to burn in the face of overwhelming odds.
Eventually Rebel spies learned of the secret super weapon and managed to intercept an Imperial transmission of the space station's technical data. The Rebels hoped the data would reveal a way to destroy it. Meanwhile the Empire was determined to recover the stolen plans.
But too many across the galaxy. The conflict between The Empire and the rebels never seemed to change anything. Stormtroopers roamed the streets, and the Jedi-wielders of the light side of the Force who once fought for peace and justice for the galaxy-had become a myth, leaving the Force badly out of balance. What was the point of fighting back the darkness when the spark of hope began to burn out into a signal candle?
Only for the balance to begin to shift when a young farm boy on the forgotten desert planet of Tatooine felt the call to adventure. For everything started the day his uncle bought two droids from some Jawa traders. One was a golden protocol droid and the other was an astromech droid, who carried an important message for; Obi-Wan Kenobi.
-8-8-8-8-
Lilah Amidala hadn't thought much of the Tatooine desert or how her life could have been. She hadn't thought she would be helping rebels, or that she would become a Jedi under the tutelage of Ben Kenobi. And she never thought she would find a boy or droids in the middle of the hot Tatooine desert.
Ben Kenobi had been shocked to have his ward rush to him. Saying he had to come quickly because she had found an unconscious boy. He went over and scrutinized him before realizing who he was. Lilah thought he was lucky to be alive, those sand people weren't forgiving.
After they had gotten the half-conscious boy to their home, along with the droid R2-D2 and C-3PO, he called for his daughter to come out here and greet their guests.
Thalia Kenobi had been surprised to hear her father's voice calling her to greet a guest. She would've felt nothing of a small concern about a guest but this was Tatooine, the desert planet where nothing ever happened within the Outer Rim territories. If he brought back a Jedi, then they were going to need a bigger house?
She peeked her head out from around the corner of the kitchen and took notice of two droids and the boy Kenobi had been watching for years, holding his blonde head with a pained expression on his face.
"What happened?" Thalia asked Obi-Wan-her father- eyebrows raised in the air.
The little droid beeped almost rapidly as Lilah and Luke clamored in with C-3PO behind Ben. "Okay set him down here." Lilah told Luke, nodding to where they could put the destroyed droid. It wasn't beyond repairable but it would take some work to get the protocol droid back up and running.
"Attack by sand people." Ben informed his daughter. "The boy must be hungry, is lunch almost ready?" He asked his daughter, eager to sit down now. He wasn't as young as he used to be, that was for sure.
"He's lucky it was the droid and not him who got ripped apart." Lilah informed almost too bluntly. She watched the boy carefully. She was getting strange vibes from him for sure.
Thalia knew better than to say a word to Lilah about the Amidala girl's choice of words and nodded at her father's question about lunch. "Lunch will be ready before you know it father. I hope our guests like Bantha steak soup, flatbread, and Blue Milk." She spoke to him, knowing that he's been tired and off since her mother died.
Maria Fairchild Kenobi had become ill a few weeks ago with a high fever and Ben hadn't left her side throughout that time. Only for Thalia's mother to fade away and become one with the Force a week ago. Nothing within the Kenobi household had been the same since.
Lilah had comforted Thalia during that time and told her about how she felt when her aunt Padmé Amidala, the woman that had raised Lilah on Naboo until she had passed and Lilah came to live with them. Shortly afterwards her father had told them about e Jedi Knights and trained the two girls within the Force.
"Oh anything's fine with me." Luke gave an awkward laugh. It was true he wasn't a very picky eater, you didn't have the luxury of that out here.
Lilah was strangely quiet as she helped around the house. She didn't know quite what to say to Ben at the moment, as she tried to hide the tension she felt inside. It reeled from the information she had learned about her Master. It wasn't Ben Kenobi-it was Obi-Wan Kenobi-and she wondered how much Maria had known and told Thalia, but did that leave Thalia in the dark?
How did you go about telling someone that?
When lunch rolled around, Lilah hummed in appreciation at the back of her throat as she ate. Lunch wasn't usually such a quiet affair, but today it was it seemed.
Luke was confused as Ben told him about his, and unknowingly Lilah's, father and the wars. "No, my father didn't fight in the wars." Luke shook his head, his face scrunched with confusion. "He was a navigator on a spice freighter."
"That's what your uncle told you." Obi-Wan said with a shake of his head as he looked at the faces across from the table. Such young ones, and so much information about drinking it. "He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Your uncle thought your father should've stayed here and not gotten involved."
His uncle seems like a funny guy. Thalia thought within her head. She had been told by her mother and father to keep her sarcastic remarks to herself over the many years. But Lilah sometimes had the same problem as she did. Only Thalia had it a lot more then Lilah did which was one of the reasons the females got along.
Lilah took notice of Thalia's smirk that was on her face and sent her a look that said; kept it to yourself.
Luke slowly turned his head to look Obi-Wan in the eyes as the boy began to realize he had been lied to. How did Obi-Wan Know about all of this? So much information about his father unless. "You fought in the Clone Wars."
"Yes," Obi-Wan spoke as he looked into Luke's blue eyes that were the same blue as Lilah's. "I was once a Jedi Knight, same as your father and my wife Maria."
"I wish I could have known him." Luke said sadly. Lilah felt sympathy for him. She knew what that was like, never knowing your parents. She guessed they did have something in common after all-they were both orphans.
Lilah felt the same way about her parents. She always longed to know, just as she longed for adventure. It was in her blood. Padme had said on several occasions she was like her parents-but mostly her father.
"He was the best star-pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior." Obi-Wan all but boasted, but at the same time his eyes were almost distant. Like memories both good and bad ran in blindly together. "I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend. Which remains me..." Obi-Wan got up, causing Lilah to look at Thalia with a raised eyebrow.
Finishing up lunch the young adults got up and Luke and Lilah began to work on C-3PO. The droid wasn't even in that bad of disarray, considering everything it had just been through.
"I have something here for you." Obi-Wan said, coming back out of the main room. "Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it." He shook his head and almost toyed with the lightsaber in his hand. "He feared you might follow Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did."
Thalia would've helped Luke and Lilah fix C-3PO. If only she was any good at repairing droids but she was better at taking them apart, then putting the pieces back together. She mostly left the fixing of technology around the house to Lilah because the female could always fix things without fail. She just sat down in her seat and watched and listened to everything that was being said around the room.
Once Lilah and Luke we're done fixing the golden droid it spoke; "Sir," looking toward his master Luke Skywalker, "If you don't need me, I'll close down for a while."
"Sure, go ahead." Luke replied to the droid, who remained seated next to the farm boy as the droid's eyes winked off in a shutdown mood and he went slumped.
Thalia looked toward her father and took notice of the lightsaber within his hand. It wasn't one that she ever saw before in the house. Remaining him about when her father pulled out a lightsaber for Lilah when she first arrived to live with them. Where does he keep all these lightsabers? "How long did you have that?"
Obi-Wan looked at his daughter before his eyes drifted toward the lightsaber, his eyes lit up in sorrow that the three young adults never could understand at their ages. "A while." It was all he could say before handing over the weapon to Luke.
"It's old." Lilah said without thinking to Thalia, a scrunched up look on her face as she wiped off her hands. Like her own lightsaber, except hers had been passed down from her mother. Lilah was strapped to her belt and never left her side unless she was asleep, but it was always in arm's length.
"What is it?" Luke asked him, looking at the weapon curiously. He's never seen one like it before in his life until now.
"Your father's lightsaber." Obi-Wan informed, handing it to the young man. Luke cautiously accepted it with plain curiosity on his face. "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster."
Luke help the weapon upward in the air and pushed the button and a blue beam of energy shot out of it fast. The light danced across the ceiling. All he could do was watch and stare in awe and shock like it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen in his life. It was the first time many years lightsaber flared.
"It still works. Even after all these years." Thalia whispered to Lilah as her tree-brown eyes stared at the lightsaber. She had her own lightsaber as well but she always kept it with her traveling clothes on the belt within her bedroom and only took it with her when they went into town.
Luke was fantasized by the weapon and tested the object by moving the blade around the room and felt surprise go through him due to how light it felt within his arms, moving the blade in his arms and cut through the air with the glowing blue blade.
"An elegant weapon for a more civilized age." Ben commented to the group as he turned and returned to his chair. "For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. Before the dark times. Before the Empire."
That had been the story Thalia always remembered her mother telling her before bed. The stories of the brave Jedi Knights and everything they did for the sake of peace in the times before the Empire. The Jedi were the protectors of the galaxy and that's what Thalia hoped to be like one day for she always dreamed about being one when she was a kid.
Luke deactivated the lightsaber that was the legacy of a former Jedi Knight of the old republic and a warrior who fought in the Clone Wars. It felt like a symbol of Luke's destiny. The boy sat back down on the edge of the couch, he turned and faced Ben as he asked in a quiet whisper, "How did my father die?" Due to everything Obi-Wan had talked about it would mean the old male knew his father.
It was Luke's first step into the encounters of the hidden truth about his father. Obi-Wan Kenobi gave him his father's lightsaber which was the first step into a larger world.
Thalia took in her father's expression and snapped at the boy; "You shouldn't ask that question to someone that doesn't want to talk about it." She's always seen it within her father's eyes and voice whenever he recalled friends long gone with the Force.
Lilah knew that Thalia was very protective of her father, especially after her mother had died. She knew the pain she felt was strong too. Lilah had felt the same way about her aunt Padmé. When she had passed, it was the only parent she knew before Ben. It still was hard on her soul and Ben knew that-he had been trying to teach her to let go of the pain, not to hold onto it and let it control her.
"Does this mean Luke is a Jedi too?" Lilah asked in Thalia's ear, her teeth gnawed on her slightly cracked lips.
Obi-Wan should've been prepared for the question. But he really wasn't in any sort of capacity. "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights." Including Vader's own wife-Ivy-but they didn't need to know that. "He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."
"The Force?" Luke questioned with a frown as he powered down the lightsaber.
"Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power." Ben explained, sounding very much like a Master to a Padawan. "It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
The millions of questions that were appearing in Luke's mind about the Jedi, the Force, and everything he would want to know about it.
Thalia looked toward Lilah and smiled about the female's question about Luke being a Jedi. "I believe he just joined our group of Force users." Then she gave a light chuckle before adding, "Bring out the wine and let's party." That now made them a group of four Jedi stare as Lilah glared at her last comment and Thalia was willing to admit it wasn't her best joke.
Then Obi-Wan stood up from his seat and moved over toward the droid R2-D2 to inspect the droid. "Now. Let's see if we can figure out what you are, my friend. And where you come from."
"Well Luke said he was pretty intent on coming to see your father." Lilah informed Thalia as the little droid beeped loudly through the room. "You know for a little droid, he sure is loud." She mumbled out and watched Ben fiddle with the R2 unit until a message suddenly began to play.
On the hologram message was a beautiful woman, around the same age as the young adults in the room. She was pleading for Obi-Wan's help. Lilah saw Thalia frown at the message, her face contorting in slight confusion. Lilah too wanted to know who this woman was. The rest of the message explained that secrets information-vital to the Rebellion- was stored in R2-D2. It needed to be taken to the distant planet Alderaan. It was up to Obi-Wan to help.
Once the transmission was done, Obi-Wan sat down in a chair. For a second he looked so old and mortal. "You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with us to Alderaan." He informed suddenly, startling the others. Well that was something unexpected.
"Alderaan?" Luke repeated in disbelief for he had never been off his home planet within his whole lifetime. He had told himself over the many years that he would one day leave this planet to the point that he wanted it very much, but now that he could and take a chance to leave it all behind. He couldn't. He stood up from his seat and shook his head toward the Jedi master. "I'm not going to Alderaan. I have to get home. It's late. I'm in enough trouble as it is."
"I need your help, Luke." Obi-Wan said to the young male. He wished to begin Luke's training because he believed they were going to need him more than ever. For Luke to learn the ways of the Force with the girls. He needed the boy with him because the Jedi Master believed that he and the girls weren't enough to get the job done alone. "She needs your help. I'm getting to old for this sort of thing."
Thalia stared at her father and was surprised by his words and spoke out. "You're not old, father. Just remember that every grey hair makes you wiser." That had been a saying that Maria had told Ben whenever he felt down about his age. He smiled at his daughter's words for she was always able to make people happy whenever they felt down.
Lilah just thought that Luke's excuse was pathetic and snorted. Ben sent the younger female a look and she hushed up fast. "That is your uncle talking." He informed the younger male with deep eyes. He looked like he was trying to pierce into his very soul.
"Oh, god, my uncle." Luke said with a serious realization. Owen was going to kill him. "How am I ever supposed to explain this?"
Lilah gave him a deadpan look and shrugged. "The same way my grandparents were explained too. Learn about the Force, Luke." She encouraged him.
Luke just shook his messy head of dirty blond hair at the women. "Look, I can take you guys as far as Anchorhead." He told the small family. "You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going."
"You must do what you feel is right, of course." Obi-Wan told Luke. He wasn't going to push this. If he didn't want to learn the Force then so be it.
"Looks like we're off to save the galaxy." Thalia cheered toward Lilah and her father. "May the Force be with us?" Only for her to get looks and give a small shrug of her shoulders. "We're going to need it."
With those words the girls and Obi-Wan began to pack for the journey ahead.
