The Galaxy According to Jaina

This is a serious of journal entries Jaina Solo does starting right before the Yuuzhang Vong war and continuing throughout different events. Time: 2045
Uncle Luke told us today that we could be apprenticed to a Jedi Master. Uncle Luke took on Jacen and Anakin. I asked Aunt Mara. Aunt Mara and Uncle Luke have such a weird relationship. They've spent a lot of time apart. I don't know. Mom and dad are away from eachother a lot, but I know they don't like it. Who knows?

I'm going home in two days. Aunt Mara and Uncle Luke are going to stay on Coruscant for awhile. Aunt Mara says that I can stay with my parents. I'm excited. I haven't seen Mom and Dad for awhile. In their last message, they said Chewie had gone to visit his family, but would be back soon. I can't wait to get there.

Time: 1930
It's been two months since I've entered anything. Aunt Mara keeps me busy. She's on a mission right now. I can't remember where she went. Jacen and Anakin are out with Uncle Luke. Anakin and Jacen have started arguing about the Force. Anakin sees it as his tool and Jacen, well I don't think Jacen knows what he thinks. I'm staying on Coruscant. Mom stepped down from Chief of State. Borsk Fey'la took her place. What a crappy replacement! Mom flipped when she heard. Dad keeps saying that since he helped mom out with politics, she gets to try out his lifestyle. Somehow I don't see mom smuggling or anything like that. I'm glad mom is home now. It's nice to actually see her. Hopefully she will stay away from saving the galaxy, but I doubt it. Time: 1532
Aunt Mara is sick! She has been back for a month! One hundred people have been diagnosed with this disease, but nobody knows what it is! Uncle Luke told mom that sixty of them have already died. It's not contagious, but nobody knows where it came from. Everyone is trying hard not to worry too much, even though chances are very good she will die. Chewie thinks Aunt Mara should go somewhere closer to nature. He says that it will do her some good. If anything, she will rest. I don't want to burden her, but what about my training? I have been working with Uncle Luke a little bit with Jacen and Anakin, but it's not the same. I'm trying to help anyway I can.

There is some good news. Dad took me to some flight simulations. I did great! Well, I have to go help dad with a new "modification" on the Falcon. I hope I'll have my own ship soon. That would be great!

Time: 2352
I just had the most amazing expirence. We went to Lando's Folly today. It's this game he has on Dubrillion where you do a run through asteroids. Jacen, Anakin, and I all did it. I got the best time ever! I beat Kyp Durron! He was whining about it. I smoked him! It was awesome!

Dad, Anakin, and Chewie left for Sernpidal earlier to make a delivery for Lando. I hope they aren't gone long. Aunt Mara and Uncle Luke left for Belkedan. Tendra is going to show me, mom, and Jacen around tomorrow. It is very exciting. I had better get some sleep before tomorrow! Time: 2215
Chewie is dead. A moon was dropped down on Sernpidal and killed him. Anakin told us what happened. He died saving Anakin's life. Dad is furious. Anakin told me and Jacen that dad blames him. He says he left him. Jacen assured Anakin that he did the right thing. It's strange. I've know people that have died, but nobody so close to us before. I remember when I was little Nichos and Cray. I already miss him. I can't begin to imagine what dad is going through, but at least he has mom. If anyone know anything about loss, it's her. I feel so horrible for Anakin. He knows that he did the right thing, I think, but part of him is blaming himself. It doesn't help that dad keeps glaring at him all the time. I guess the best thing to do is honor Chewie's memory. Time:0830
It's been a little while. We just had two battle with the Yuuzhang Vong. During the first one, I got to fly one of Lando's ships. During the second one, I was in the Merry Miner. We destroyed the war cordinator. I don't know what's going to happened next. Danni Quee, a young woman we rescued, says that more will come. Mom is going to talk to the New Republic.

Aunt Mara has gotten worse. She is so weak. We are all on Yavin IV. Mom and Dad went to Sernpidal. Dad needs to make peace with Chewie's death.

It's so hard to write that. I had to stop my earlier entry because I couldn't see through the tears. I miss him a lot. Dad came and talked to me a few days ago. He somehow managed to keep himself together. Mom's upset, but she doesn't want to upset Dad anymore. Chewie was his best friend.

Okay, I have to think of something more cheerful. I have a long day ahead of me.

Time: 1350
Uncle Luke called all the Jedi to Yavin IV. He handed us all assignments. I picked up Danni Quee and met mom. I helped Danni on her Force skills. Jacen is going with Uncle Luke to Belkadan and Anakin is taking care of Aunt Mara. She is so weak, it's scary.

I asked mom how dad was doing. She said that he was getting better. I know she's lying. Anakin still thinks dad hates him. I hope dad comes to his senses soon.

I have to go. Gavin Darklighter is here. He wants to talk to me. Time: 2334
OH MY FORCE! I AM IN THE ROGUE SQUADRON! I already have a call sign! It's Sticks 'cause my control is a stick and my lightsaber. I'm Rogue Eleven. This is so incrediable. I got in all on my talents, not my family or being a Jedi. I wish I could tell Chewie, but I think he knows. I wish I could tell Dad. He's so out of it, I don't think he would even notice. I can't believe mom actually let me join. I was so shocked when I was told. We fly in the morning. I am going to bed. Time: 0830
It's been so hectic! I wish I could retell the battles, but its almost like a blur. I remember fighting, but the actual details are sketchy. I wonder why.

The Vong hit Dantoonie. I thought of a way to shoot their ships spikes. It worked pretty well. We lost a lot. The refugees suffered a 50 loss. The good news is that I get to stay in the squadron. I moved in the barracks with my wingmate, Anni Capstan. Mom would never admit it, but I think she was glad I moved out so I won't see Dad like he is. He is horrible! He is drunk all the time! I heard from Anakin and Jacen that he's been arguing with mom. Not their usual play fighting. He's been out drinking all the time. I'm really worried about him. I did see him sober once. I was packing up some stuff. He stood in the doorway of my room and asked me what was going on. I told him that I was in Rogue Squadron. He was so proud of me. He hugged me tightly. He smelled like liquor. He has lost weight. I haven't seen him sober since. I wonder if my moving out has anything to do with it?

I have to go. There is a Squadron meeting soon.
