Shortly after Luke escaped the Death Star, he watched as moments later it went up in flames, his father with it. If someone were to tell Luke at this moment that it was the end of the world, I'm sure he would have accepted it as a fact. "I must contain my emotions," he declared aloud, reminding himself that he was a Jedi and must act like one.
Arriving on the moon of Endor, Luke felt a sense of calm and knew immediately that his friends were alive and safe. Walking through the dense, lush forest, it was apparent there had been a great battle here. The trees seemed to be crying out for help as some were on fire and others were lying on the forest floor.
It did not take long for Luke to find Leia and the others. Triumphant calls were coming from the center of the forest, and above all the raucous noise was a large puff of smoke from what Luke assumed to be a bonfire. He smiled as he spotted Leia close by, in Han Solo's arms. Luke always knew that Han was meant for her, but he never wanted to admit it until he was told Leia was his sister. It was a shock of course, but somehow, Luke sensed he had always known. Leia spotted him and Luke brought her into a gracious, warm embrace. Han walked up to Luke, who was ready to shake his hand, when Han grabbed him in a brother-like hug that had no cruel intentions at all.
As Luke walked away to greet C3PO, he heard Han whisper, "Thanks for your sister Luke. She's a real babe." Luke laughed while in the background C3PO was complaining about being built for housework, not battles.
When Luke turned around to chat with Leia and Han, he sensed someone was behind him. Turning around, he spotted the spirit of Ben and smiled. Good memories flooded Luke's mind about when he first met Ben. He had been a great friend and Jedi master until Vader had killed him. Ben then held out his right arm to show that two others had arrived. Luke gasped in amazement. There standing before him was Yoda, the Jedi master who had completed his training and Luke's father, not in his cold machinery, but young and wise, grinning with loving adoration at his son. He was a Jedi.
