Chapter 6
Naboo
"So who all are going to Mon Calamari?" Han asked, as all the Skywalker\Solo clan finished their late lunch.
"Mother will go representing Naboo. Mara and Luke will go to introduce her, meanwhile you and Jacen will be taking out another task force to introduce the Naboo to the Vong. While I stay here as the heir and continue shoring up the last chinks in Naboo's armor." Leia answered her husband. "It would be best if you could get the Falcon back space worthy and take her with you just in case."
"On the way back we might sneak in a visit to the Maw." Mara said. "Though we have yet to decide if Ben will leave with us or remain there."
"I guess I'd better go get to work on the Falcon." Han said standing. "May I be excused?" He asked Amidala.
"Yes, and Han, you do not have to be that formal in private." Amidala said knowing how uncomfortable it made some of her family.
Jaina, Jacen, Anakin and Tahiri stood as well. "We will go give him a hand if you don't mind, Grandma." Jaina asked for herself and the others.
"Have fun." Amidala said turning to her children and daughter in law.
The kids were having fun as they made their way to the Falcon and Han knew why. They felt safe, a feeling that there had been precious little of lately and he was glad to see it even for a little while. His family was safe.
When they got to the Royal Starport they could find no sign of the Falcon. Finally Han gave up and asked someone. "Where is my ship?" He asked one of the Gungun technicians.
"Which ship?"
"Mine, the Millennium Falcon." Han said by now he was quite exasperated.
"Which ship?" The Gungun asked still confused.
"Let's try it this way," Jaina said getting the Gungun's attention. "Where is the Princess's ship."
"Oh, Princess's ship being repaired. Follow me." He said, as they had to hurry to catch up with him. He led them into a near by hangar and there she was.
"What have you done to my ship!" Han said running up to examine the Falcon. Most of the ship had been coated in a chromium finish, with Bioluminescent inserts in places.
"You no like?" Asked the Gungun.
"It's glowing!"
"No loose in dark." The Gungun said like it was the best thing in the world.
"Well, look at it this way Dad at least the Vong won't recognize it." Jacen said trying not to laugh.
"I don't even recognize it!" Han Yelled as Jaina and Jacen ushered him inside.
"Let's go see what they did to the inside." Jaina said trying to get him away from the poor Gungun.
Anakin and Tahiri remained outside looking at what had been done, once they persuaded the technician to go on with what he had been doing. "I don't think it's ever looked better." Said Tahiri as they continued the inspection.
"I agree with you, but I'm not telling Dad that." Anakin said with a laugh. Just then they heard a bloodcurdling scream. The only thing Anakin could make out for sure was, 'Every thing's glowing,' and Anakin was glad he didn't understand the rest. "Come on let's go see what all of the commotion is about." Anakin said as they headed in the door.
o O o
Han came storming back in just as Leia was about to go to an advisory meeting. "Will the Falcon be ready for the trip?" Leia asked.
"Yeah, she'll fly but she'll also stand out like a sore thumb." Han grumbled, plopping down on the couch.
"What's wrong?" Leia knew something was up but couldn't guess what.
"Some eager to please Gungun technicians took it upon themselves to fix the 'Princess's' ship. Half of it glows and the other half of it has been coated in some fancy chromium stuff. They even redid the whole interior. I hardly even recognized her." Han said trying to calm down. "She's fully operational that's about the only good thing I can say on the matter."
Leia winced. "Is it really that bad?" The look Han gave her gave her all the answer she needed. "Sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's just..."
"Well, maybe the Vong will leave you alone during your trip." Leia said trying to get him to see the bright side as she sat down beside him.
"Maybe," He said wrapping his arms around Leia. "Or we could both stay here." Han said pulling Leia into a kiss.
"I wish, but we both have things we've got to do. Like right this moment I am getting ever later for a meeting with most of the important people of Naboo." Leia said standing and gathering her things. "You could come with me."
"No, I'm not ready to smile and play diplomat. I guess I'll head back and find out just how much they changed under all that fancy junk." Han said following her out the door.
As they went their separate ways she heard Han mumble to himself. "If Chewie was here they wouldn't have gotten away with messing with the 'Falcon.'"
o O o
When Leia entered the room all those there stood out of respect. She quickly walked over and took her place beside her mother and only once they had sat down did the rest do so.
"Let me introduce my daughter Princess Leia Solo of Naboo. Leia this is my and now your advisories counsel." Amidala spoke. "It has come to my attention that they have some questions that they would like to ask of you."
"What do you wish to know?" Leia asked graciously.
"It has come to our attention that Alderaan was destroyed long ago and that you no longer considered yourself a princess. We wish to know what you have done since that awful day?" One of the twenty some odd counselors asked.
"After that day I was no longer able to act as an Imperial Senator, because I was known to be a part of the Rebellion. I then took up a major role in leading the Rebellion's fight against the Empire. When the Empire fell I then started to help in setting up the New Republic. I was elected into the second highest position that I then held until the chief of state at the time retired. I then was elected as the chief of state and held the position for several terms. I also negotiated a treaty between the Republic and the Imperial Remnant. Since the Yuuzhen Vongs arrival I have been working to find adequate space for the refugees." Leia said looking around to see who would ask the next question.
The last question had been expected and she had known exactly how to answer it, but now they threw her a curve ball. "Husband of royal blood?" Asked one of the Gungun counselors.
"No, he is not royal, but he was a hero in the Rebellion, achieved the rank of General and saved my life." Leia said a little surprised. She had expected this to be about her not Han. 'Although he can be a Royal pain at times,' she thought to herself.
"What did he do before he joined the Rebellion?" Another asked.
"He was a pilot. My brother and Obi-Wan Kenobi hired him to take them from Tatooine to Alderaan. He managed to get them to where Alderaan had been, no small feat in itself. Then Luke and Han managed to rescue me from my detention cell and get my brother and me away safely, right under Vader's nose. Not to mention the things he did after he joined the Rebellion. He has earned the title of hero something that most royalty can never claim to be and he is my husband."
With that said the counselors chose to drop the subject, realizing that even if they wanted to go somewhere with it that the Princess, like her mother, wouldn't hear of it. The rest was of the meeting went as Leia had expected.
o O o
While Leia was meeting with the Queen's political advisers Luke was meeting with the Jedi. Amidala had decided that when the time came Luke would take her place as the leader of the Naboo Jedi and the two orders would become one under him. For now though, Luke would be the second in command of the Naboo order.
Luke was distracted as he walked to the room where the meeting would be held. He would soon be standing face to face with ten Jedi Masters. Luke knew he was a Jedi for Yoda had told him that and he knew that he had earned the title of Master over the years, but there was so much he didn't know. So much that he and his students had learned along the way, to many times learned the hard way. The Emperor had not only tried to kill the Jedi as group but also as an idea. Much of what had remained in main stream information had been fiction. They'd search high and low and still the questions out numbered the answers they found. Luke knew that those here most likely had been able to hold on to that knowledge and that made the meeting to come intimidating. They had started their training far younger and trained for half of there lives to get the title he had been given in such a brief time. Yoda and Ben had taught him what they could but time had not been on their side. In some ways Luke felt that he should be called apprentice in comparison, not Master and most certainly not a Prince.
When Luke entered the room the Jedi stood out of respect. "Welcome to the Naboo Jedi Order Master Skywalker, we have been looking forward to this day since our order began." Said one of the Masters.
Luke stood there for a moment trying to figure out what to say, and then a question came to mind. "How did your order get started if I may ask?"
"Of course you may ask it is your right to know as the heir to the order. Your Mother our Queen took the lead with the help of the royal gem." One of the Jedi answered with a smile.
"Royal gem?" Luke asked now with even more questions.
"The gem has been in the royal treasury since humans came to Naboo no one knows who brought it or from where. When we need help it glows to life." Answered the Master.
"Gem hold knowledge of great Jedi Master within," answered one of the Gungun Masters. "That knowledge allow you mother build order and became a Jedi. No matter what she says."
Again another takes up the explanation. "She keeps it with her at all times and some of us have had the privilege to see it."
'Maybe the two orders have more in common than I thought. Both orders were started by someone that has no formal training of their own. I wonder if they are talking about a Jedi Holocron.'
"Of course you and Leia as the Queens heirs can ask to see it." With that they sat and moved on to other subjects. Mean while Luke knew where he was heading next.
o O o
Once the Meeting with her mother was finished Leia sought Han out. She was told that he, Anakin and Tahiri were still checking on the 'Falcon.' What she found was still a shock; Han was having another fit.
"They just had to take it upon themselves not only to fix MY ship but to redecorate it to the latest Naboo style! The sleeping quarters have been turned into the land of precious."
This gave Leia a pause as she now took a closer look at the ship behind them. Like most of the Naboo vessels she had seen it had bioluminescent features, it also had chromium panels that, she had been told, were reserved for those ships used by the royal family and royal business. The problem was that when you looked beyond the polished and glowing exterior it was the Millennium Falcon.
"Boy did they change it." Leia smiled and couldn't resist adding. "Well, Han, at least the Vong will not recognize it."
"I am going to shoot the next person that says that!" An exasperated Han vented.
"When things settle down we can put her back the way you like her but for know we don't need to be without a ship. You have to admit Han that in the state she was in she wasn't going anywhere." Leia said trying to calm her distraught husband.
"Yeah, but I still don't have to like it." Han said heading back inside to find out what other damage had been done. "You haven't seen the inside yet."
o O o
Kenan was walking the corridors looking for Jaina, the only one of her family that he wasn't avoiding. He was hoping that she might feel up to some light sparring. All of a sudden he registered a familiar sense approaching his location -- Padme. Quickly he sped up and took the nearest side corridor only to collide with someone going every bit as fast in the opposite direction. Luke blinked as he found himself on the floor after a collision. He had been too focused on getting to his mother and the myriads of questions that he needed to ask her.
Kenan couldn't help but smile. "My Master was always telling me to 'keep my concentration on the here and now, where it belongs.' Guess I still haven't learned." Kenan said helping Luke up.
"Sounds like good advise." Luke said, finally taking a good look at the Jedi clone that had saved his niece. There was something about him and until that moment it had been written of in Luke's mind as it being because he was a clone. Yet, it wasn't the strange way that clones felt in the Force that was familiar about the man standing before him. "Kenan, I have been thinking that I would like to talk to you about the old Jedi order. There are very few records remaining about it and I would like to discuss your memories of it later, if you don't mind?" When Luke sensed Kenan's nervousness he added. "I will leave it up to you how and which questions you will answer."
Kenan relaxed a bit and reluctantly thought to himself. 'He is my Prince and the second in the Naboo Jedi Order, how can I deny Luke his request.' "On one condition." Luke nodded. "I was just looking for a sparring partner."
Luke smiled thinking that this could be interesting when he remembered his previous destination. "There is someone I need to talk to first, but I'll meet you in the palace gym in an hour." Luke said with a nod.
"I'll see you there, Master Skywalker." Kenan said not believing what he had just done.
o O o
As soon as Amidala spotted Luke she dismissed her aids. "Yes, Luke." She said having a good idea what he wanted. Before Luke could open his mouth to ask, Amidala slid the crystal from its hiding place. "It will answer your questions." Amidala said handing the palm-sized gem to Luke.
Luke started to ask how it worked when all of a sudden everything went green. Spinning around Luke saw that he was a room made of different shades of green crystal. There was a presence here, but it was all around him. "Hello?" He asked finally coming to a stop.
"Greetings young Master Skywalker." A voice came from behind him. When he turned he found a tall older human man in Jedi robes. His robes reminded Luke of the ones that Obi-wan had worn. His hair was long and graying his beard neatly trimmed and he had kind blue gray eyes. The man dipped his head in respect. "It is nice to finally meet you."
"Who are you and where are we?" Luke asked a little flustered.
"You are still standing before your mother. I thought this would be the best way to introduce myself. I am Qui-gon Jinn, a Jedi Master."
"Is the crystal a holocron?"
"No, I believe that it is a far older and an even more forgotten technology. If I had to guess, I would say that the holocrons were based on crystals like this one. Where a holocron is an interactive teaching tool this crystal actually made a copy of my personality on the day I died and allows me to live within it. I can learn and adapt and even take action on my own to help."
"Like with Anakin?" Luke asked remembering something his nephew had said.
"Yes, he was calling so heavily on the Force, that the Force's reaction to his dying was enough to reach through the barrier to Naboo. That allowed me to force the barrier down and save him though it wasn't easy." Qui-gon said then looking at Luke. "You have become what I had hoped your Father would become."
"You knew my Father?" Luke asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was because of me he became a Jedi. He was a slave on Tatooine when I met him and his mother but your mother can tell you of those days. I died here on Naboo not long after meeting him and my previous apprentice took him as his apprentice. Surely though with all that is going on you have more pressing questions." Qui-gon said as two seats appeared out of nowhere. Qui-gon took one and gestured for Luke to sit in the other.
"How do you think I have done?"
"Based on those you have trained that are here, quite well. You are a skilled Jedi Master; you just have some things left to learn but that is the same for all of us. Down to the end there I know Yoda wished he could beat some of it into me." Qui-gon said with a smile. "You will continue to learn from your experiences and those around you."
"There isn't anyone to teach me how to handle the Yuuzhen Vong, and I don't want my experiences to come at the expense of others."
"You are not alone. You have others to help and working together I don't think there is much you can not do. Luke as long as you are acting for the protection of the innocent, then the Force will be with you and it will work out in the end. Patience is one of the hardest things to master.
"Things are changing so fast that it seems that it seems like patience will get me left behind." Luke said.
"Things will change all the more before this is all over with, but there is a difference between keeping up and being swept away." Qui-gon stopped. "There is one experienced in the old ways that can help you."
"Who?"
"Patience." Qui-gon said with a smile.
With that Luke found himself in the real world once more. Blinking he looked up at his Mother's face. "How long was I gone?"
"Just a moment. What did he say?"
"That everything will workout as long as we work together and are patient."
"So we concentrate on the 'here and now.'" Amidala said with a nod.
Luke smiled, "That's the second time I've been told that today." He said handing the gem back to his mother. "There are some things I need to think about before my next appointment. I'll talk to you later," He said taking his leave.
o O o
As Luke walked to his quarters he couldn't help wondering how two people as different as his mother and Kenan used such similar and unusual of a wording. Even the way they said it, like they were quoting someone. Kenan had been he was quoting his 'Master.' Perhaps his mother had known Kenan's Master or maybe it was just a coincidence to begin with.
When Luke reached his quarters he found Mara trying on her new robes. It had taken some time for the Robers to find a shade of blue to please her and Tahiri was still giving them a hard time.
Neither of them said anything as he walked into the room for right then words weren't needed. He slid his arms around Mara's waste and took a look at the results in the mirror. She looked stunning but then there were few times when Luke thought otherwise.
"So how was your day?" Mara asked finally breaking the silence.
"Good, my meeting went well and I learned how Anakin survived and showed up on Tatooine." Luke said enjoying every moment of peace there was to have, he knew that tomorrow they would have to reenter the chaos that existed outside of this world. "It is a device that goes beyond the capabilities of a Holocron. It actually holds an exact copy of the personality of a Jedi that died on Naboo a long time ago. He saved Anakin and brought down the shield from around Naboo. He also helped Mother in forming the Naboo Jedi Order."
"Do you think he will help us fight the Vong?" Mara asked turning to Luke.
"He seems to think that we can handle it on our own, but I can't see him refusing to help us if the need arises." Luke said but it was evident to Mara that he had something else on his mind.
"Credit for your thoughts?" Mara asked.
"What do you think of Kenan?"
The question caught Mara of guard. "He is okay. A bit of a loner, but he has given us no reason to distrust him. He is a clone of a Jedi but he seems stable unlike C'baoth. Near as I can tell, Kenan is probably a Jedi Master and he is quite strong in the Force. Jaina likes him." Mara said stating the obvious, but Luke knew her well enough to know there was more.
"But?"
Mara smiled then continued. "There is something about him that makes me nervous, like I haven't been in a long time. Like, maybe I met the original, during my time in the Emperor's employ. Maybe the memory is associated with that time. I don't know, I can't place him exactly." Mara said irritatedly. "But I don't think I met the clone and what I remember may not even apply to Kenan at all." Mara said turning to face Luke once more. "Why do you ask?"
"I am supposed to met him to spar in forty-five minutes. He agreed to let me ask some questions, although it is up to him which to answer." Luke paused. "The strange thing is that he seems familiar to me too. I can't put my finger on where from exactly either. I don't know."
"Maybe you will find out later. Let's go get something to eat before then." Mara said leading him out of their suite.
o O o
Anakin and Tahiri walked through the Palace's gardens hand in hand as the sun started to set. They had been all but inseparable since Tattooine. Like the rest of those that had come to Naboo, they were enjoying the moment of rest that they had found.
Looking at most of the people on Naboo you wouldn't guess what was going on in the rest of the galaxy or that it was soon to change. Even though everything seemed to be quiet, every single person, human or Gangue on Naboo was preparing for what was to come. Technicians and Geneticists all through out the star system were pouring over every last drop of information they could squeeze out of the enemy ship that they had. Every ship in the fleet and all of the Jedi were drilling on the on the tactics that the enemy used and that worked against them. This world had an advantage. They had been preparing to fight a war against odd even a Corellion wouldn't take for the last thirty years. That the face of the enemy had changed meant nothing to the people of Naboo, because they were still fighting for the same thing. Their freedom and the survival of their way of life were at stake.
Yet, to the two lovebirds in the garden all that mattered was now. They knew what was to come better than most and they also knew what had almost happened.
Amidala was watching them out of the corner of her eye during a Tactical meeting in preparation for her trip to Mon Calamari. Then something caught her eye. Anakin had Tahiri sit on one of the many benches and went down on one knee before her. Turning her head to get a better look she smiled. 'I was right.' She thought to herself as she watched her grandson purpose to the woman he loved. She didn't need to hear what was said in reply as Tahiri threw her arms around Anakin's neck. 'And life goes on.' She thought happily as she tuned back into the meeting with no one the wiser.
o O o
Kenan stood waiting in the gym. He was early and that didn't help, it just meant that he had more time to question his own sanity in being there in the first place. Finally he decided to distract himself. He activated two remotes, they floated into the air and when he activated his new saber they jumped into action. Bobbing and weaving for all they were worth they were having no success at shooting him with their mild stun-bolts. After a short time Kenan activated a third Remote with the Force. It surprised him how quickly he had jumped back into the swing of the Force after not using it for so long.
Then again Kenan was still rusty, completely missing Luke's entrance at the far end of the gym. As Luke watched the man before him deflecting the well aimed shots from the four Remotes with ease, again Luke wondered about Kenan. There were very few that had a grasp on the Force as strong as the man before him did.
After a few moments the Remotes started to time out and Kenan stopped to catch his breath. Then he felt the other presence in the room and kicked himself for missing Luke's entrance. It wasn't that he had been caught practicing with the remotes but more that he had caught to using the Force to that degree. Turning Kenan smiled at the Jedi Master watching him. "Caught me distracted again, Master Skywalker."
"That's OK it gave me a chance to see what I am going to be up against. That is if you still want to spar after the work out you just finished?" Luke said walking further into the room.
"Yeah, I got a little carried away. How about you ask some of your questions and give me a chance to rest?" Kenan said sitting down on a bench.
Luke nodded sitting where he could see Kenan. "OK, now where to start? There have been a lot of debates amongst the 'Outer' Jedi Order as to where the defining line is between protecting the innocent and becoming a solder?"
"Maybe I wouldn't be the best person to ask that." Kenan answered.
"Why?"
"Because I don't think my Master would have thought I got it right the first time." Kenan said.
"Who was your Master?" Luke asked not really expecting an answer. Kenan sat there for a moment mulling over whether to answer or not then Luke continued. "I know that to some degree you don't claim him as yours, but you do share the memories of your training with your original or else you wouldn't be a Jedi."
Kenan nodded at the logic, yet he still wondered if it was wise to give his name. 'It was before his day. He probably couldn't have survived being hunted long.' Kenan thought resolutely. "His name was Obi-wan Kenobi." Before the words even finished leaving his mouth, Kenan knew he had made the wrong decision, as he saw the look of recognition on Luke's face.
"I wasn't aware that Obi-wan had trained anyone other than my Father, and of course me." Luke froze as he said those words then turned to look at a now obviously nervous Kenan. Looking past the long neat hair and well-manicured beard to see the ice blue eyes that he knew so well. They were the same as the ones that he saw every morning and the same as his Father's had been.
Kenan lowered his gaze knowing that his secret was out. What had Obi-wan told Luke? What terrible things had the Sith that Anakin Skywalker had been becoming done? "I know what you are thinking. No, I am not 'Him'. I would never betray you as he did." Kenan said hanging his head in shame. "I will not endanger your Mo... Family. I would die first."
"Kenan, Anakin Skywalker died a Jedi Master saving me and essentially my sister from the Emperor. He had manipulated Father into serving him, the Emperor sealed Mother here because he knew that She could turn him back - that she could save him." Luke closed his eyes drawing on the Force. "I felt the good in him and I feel the good in you. You have fought that fight, Kenan. I believe you when you say you will not betray us."
Kenan looked up at Luke the relief on his face was obvious. Luke then realized Kenan had probably been expecting the worst. "Please, don't tell your Family." Kenan pleaded. "I still carry the guilt for that which was shared. I must still prove myself, as far as I am concerned."
"Do you still love my mother?"
Kenan closed his eyes. "I have no right. I am not the one she fell in love with. I... I am more like his brother. Yet, I have felt like I had already betrayed her from the first moment of my life." Kenan looked up at Luke.
Luke knew that he had to say or do something to make Kenan see that he understood and that everything was going to be okay. Giving Kenan's shoulder a comforting squeeze he smiled. "It's good to have you in the Family, Uncle Kenan."
Kenan couldn't help but smile. "Just not in front of your Mother."
"Come on then, let's see what you've got." Luke said standing and igniting his saber.
o O o
As day broke and Luke and Mara began to prepare for the day to come, they heard a knock at the door. When Mara opened it she found two Gunguns standing at attention flanking a Court Proclaimer. The man unfurled an old fashioned scroll and began to read.
"The people of Naboo request the greatest honor of the Royal Family of Her Royal Highness Queen Amidala to attend a grand banquet in their honor. To be held at the height of the sun on this, the sixteenth day, of the fifth month, of the twenty-fifth year of the reign of our Queen. A grand parade of the peoples of Naboo before the Imperial Balcony will proceed the banquet."
Once the proclamation was read the Court Proclaimer rolled the scroll back up, bowed deeply and turned to continue his assignment. Even as Mara closed the door they could hear him knocking at the next door in what they were calling the Royal's Corridor.
o O o
By ones and twos the occupants of the different rooms came out and joined the procession down the hall. As they entered a corridor of pillars, trumpet like instruments were blown at their entrance. The loud and unexpected sound on either side of them almost made Jaina and Jacen jump, being at the head of the line.
On either side of the corridor stood Court Officials, Planetary Dignitaries, and the Highest Ranking individuals of both the sea and the land.
"The Royal Twins, Princess Jaina and Prince Jacen." They heard someone announce followed by a loud cheer. The twins unused to this level of pomp and circumstance tried their best to be gracious and royal as they passed through the corridor to the balcony. Once there they were announced again only this time to the huge crowd gathered before the Imperial Balcony. Stepping aside to let Anakin and Tahiri have their turn.
"The Royal Grandson, Prince Anakin and friend." Tahiri squirmed if it wasn't bad enough that they had insisted her at least wear sandals then they go and leave her nameless. 'I bet they would have given my name had they known that I am engaged to marry Anakin. Once they know and things have settled down, I'll tell them to go jump into a black hole when they bring up shoes.' Tahiri thought as she smiled.
"His Royal Highness and Jedi Master, Prince Luke and the Jedi Mistress, Princess Mara Jade, the leaders of the 'Outer' Jedi Order." Luke smiled. He was surprised how well Mara had slipped into her newest title. Especially, since she felt that the new title was just a waste of breath. She was happiest about the titles that hadn't been mentioned, Wife and Mother, although she was proud to be a Jedi Master a title that she had earned.
"Her Royal Highness, Princess Leia and Prince Han..." The announcer paused then grudgingly added, "Solo." Han nodded, if he was going to endure being called 'Prince' then at least they could do is remember he had a last name.
Finally it was the Queen's turn. "Her Majesty, Queen Amidala." The applause was thunderous as the Queen came into view. Amidala was beaming with joy surrounded by her children, grandchildren and their loved ones. Yet, even in her great joy some part of her couldn't help feeling that there was someone missing.
Tahiri and Han were having a squirming contest, of which Tahiri seemed to be winning. Between the sandals and as she put it, the 'Sith inspired' toe ring that the Robers had insisted on. Then again the Robers didn't know just how lucky they had been that Anakin had been there to act as a buffer.
Then the parade began Humans and Gunguns walking side by side. Marching bands from every nook and cranny of the kingdom, dancers and flag twirlers in beautiful garb. Great lumbering creatures came down the broad way arrayed in their finest tack. Troops of Gunguns caring trumpets draped with the banners of the Royal Crest of Naboo. Those that hadn't been able to get in the parade stood and watched. Everyone was smiling, they were free and the Queen's children had come home safe.
