Epilogue
Tatooine
Obi-Wan rode the pack animal through the sand dunes outside Mos Eisley. While he had flown to the planet in a disguise, once he was outside Mos Eisley, he changed back into his Jedi robes. Given how remote the planet and the area were, he figured there was little chance he would be recognized as a Jedi. Despite the potential danger, he saw little reason to destroy the robes. They were the only thing he was comfortable in, and he knew the clothes would help him convey the image he wanted.
At the moment, he had no idea where he was going to live. He remembered Anakin claiming there were abandoned houses in areas that had been overtaken by the Sand People. He figured he could take one of them, as his Jedi abilities would allow him to scare the Tuskens away.
Coming over a rather large sand dune, Obi-Wan could see the Lars homestead in the distance. He could see Owen walking around outside. The man didn't appear to notice him until he was close, and then, from the man's body language, it seemed he was not happy to see the Jedi.
Maw
The journey to the Maw installation had been long and difficult. Vader didn't understand the need to come out here, but Palpatine felt it was important. They were to meet with someone who was working on a superweapon that the emperor believed would solidify their control of the galaxy.
Vader scoffed at the entire idea of a superweapon. He believed the Force was all they needed. It had guided them to seize power, and it would guide them to keep it. He had skipped the initial meeting he was supposed to attend with the man in charge of the project, Wilhelm Tarkin.
While he was uninterested in the weapon, he figured if they had come all this way, he might as well take a glimpse of it. Palpatine and Tarkin were viewing it themselves from the large viewing window on the bridge of the flagship. When Vader reached them, Tarkin walked away to leave them alone.
Alone now, the two Sith looked out at the weapon that was supposed to give them complete control of the galaxy. Vader tried hard to remember what Sidious was calling it. After a long time, he finally recalled the name, the Death Star.
Ach-To
The first thing Padme did, when she stepped out of the ship, was to try and reach out with the Force. Despite her weakness in it, she felt she could sense the Force barrier that existed just above the surface of the planet. The rumors were true, there was a barrier around the surface that prevented the Force from penetrating, meaning she would be blind to Anakin, should he try and reach out and connect with her.
The barrier was a double-edged sword, of course. Between that and the planet's general remoteness, she would have no idea what was occurring in the rest of the galaxy. She was going to have to count on her premonitions being true. The Force would lead her children to her one day, she knew it. She just had to be patient and wait. They would find her. She was sure of it.
