It was midday on Yavin Four and there was a lot of activity going on in the Jedi Academy that was housed in the old Rebel Base there. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was busy instructing a class of new recruits on how to use the Force to move objects around with their minds. Luke's sister, Leia Organa Solo, and her husband Han were standing outside the academy taking in the beautiful sights of the forest and discussing a new treaty the Republic had put together concerning new laws of the Republic. R2-D2 and C-3P0 were trying to repair one of the main elevators of the academy. Jaina and Jacen Solo, Han and Leia's 14 year old twins, and their 12 year old brother Anakin were hanging out in one of the dormitory rooms talking about what adventures they would have once they became official Jedi Knights.
"When I become a Jedi, I'm going to go out and fight the Sandpeople on Tatoonie!" Anakin declared.
"That's nothing, Force brain. I'm going to be the best Jedi Master any of you has ever seen and live a life of luxury." Jacen said, grinning at the insult he had just given his brother.
"Oh shut up." Anakin said and tried to whip at pillow at Jacen, who promptly stopped it mid-air with his hand and Force-threw it right back at Anakin.
"Come on, you two. We're the children of Han Solo and Leia Organa, niece and nephews of Luke Skywalker, grandchildren of Anakin Skywalker. Don't you think we've got a very good chance of becoming great Jedi Masters someday?" Jaina asked her brothers.
Both boys looked at each other and back at their sister. Everyone who knew them knew about their family history and how much potential they had to become great Jedis. Even though all 3 of them were still Padawan learners, they exhibited great skills with their lightsabers and knowledge of the Force.
"Well, we probably will become Jedi Masters someday. But I don't want to end up like Grandfather did." Anakin said, referring to the fact that their grandfather Anakin Skywalker had turned to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader because he could not control his emotions and anger, plus the fact that he was tempted into learning Dark Side powers.
"If anything, we'll learn from his mistakes and not do anything that he did." Jacen replied.
"You do have a point." Anakin said.
"Come on, let's go find Mom and Dad and ask them." Jaina said and walked out of the room, followed by Jacen and Anakin who were playfully insulting each other again.
Outside the temple
"Isn't this a beautiful forest, Han?" Leia asked her husband as she held his hand and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah sure is. Now if we could only try and get Kamino to join the New Republic, that would be even more beautiful." Han grumbled.
"You know perfectly well that planet had a huge involvement in the Clone Wars. So getting them to join is not gonna be easy." Leia told him.
"No kidding, they won't even talk to any of our representatives we send over there." Han said.
Their conversation was interrupted by their children running outside from the main entrance to the temple, their robes flapping behind them and Jacen stumbling a little bit which involved him dropping his lightsaber.
"Woah, slow down there kid. You okay?" Han asked.
"I'm fine, Dad. I really am." Jacen said and Force retrieved his lightsaber from the ground.
"So, what do you three Padawans want today?" Leia said, smiling at her children.
"We wanna know if we're gonna be great Jedi Masters someday and not end up like Grandfather." Anakin blurted out.
Leia took a deep breath and gently guided the three kids to sit down on a big rock resting just outside the temple entrance. The children sat down together while Leia and Han sat on another rock right next to them. They looked at Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin with serious looks and began their lecture.
"Tell me, what do you three hope to accomplish when you're Jedi Knights?" Han asked
"I wanna defend great, big lands!" Anakin exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, well I want to help protect humans and other species less fortunate than us." Jaina said.
"And I want to defeat a great, big evil!" Jacen proclaimed.
"Allright, those sound like good goals to me. But remember, you cannot do those things for yourselves. You must do those things for other humans and species. That is one of the main characteristics of a Jedi: you are not selfish, you care only about others." Leia said.
"Is that why Grandfather turned to the dark side?" Jaina asked.
"Yes dear. Not only could he not control his hate and anger, he wanted more power for his own selfish reasons. It is true there were those around him that he loved and cared for dearly, all he wanted was more and more power. That is what lead him to turn to the dark side of the Force and into Darth Vader." Leia said.
"Oh. So as long as we keep practicing our Jedi abilities, not lose our tempers, and not do anything out of selfishness, we'll become Jedi masters someday?" Jacen asked.
"Yes, you will. You are right and your mother is right." Han said.
"Ok, that's all we wanted to know." Anakin said and ran back inside the temple with the twins.
Leia and Han grinned at each other. They really did have a good feeling that their children would grow up to become great Jedi Masters and do great things someday. But little did anyone know how soon an opportunity for the children to do great things for a great land would come up.
