Hey everybird! What's up!?

So first off, I'm sorry about the delay, I was a little sick over the weekend and for the past couple of days, I been like really tired and sleepy and still am a little for whatever reason… But hopefully you haven't been waiting for long!

Now before we get to today's questions, a few things.

First off, if you haven't heard yet, Kobe Bryant, a basketball player, died along with one of his daughters and seven others in a helicopter crash in California. While I'm not a sports guy and don't pay attention to it, after hearing about how nice this guy was, it is a tragedy that such a man is gone. So rest in peace Kobe and may heaven have basketball for you!

Moving on to more brighter news…

My five year anniversary of posting my very first thing on here has passed and I think you all know what I'm going to say on that… That I can't believe it has been this long and I'm still here! But again I couldn't have gotten this far without all of your support over the years, so thank you and I hope I can continue to do this for as long as I can!

Now moving on to today's question…

Did you get to see the finale for Star Wars Resistance and if you did, what did you think about it?

Me: I liked it very much, it was a little obvious, but still enjoyable, such things like Tam finally realizing she has been on the wrong side, the good guys winning in the end, the bad guys are dead are things I expected, but that's not to say it's boring. What I did really like is Kylo Ren's appearances, sure it's only from a hologram, but the fact that he almost made Agent Tierny and Commander Pyre to almost kill each other or the part he choked Tierny to death was awesome and dark. However I am disappointed we had no clues that the Colossus did take part in the final battle at Exegol, I would have loved if at the end it was a year later and the Colossus gets the signal from Lando to join in on the fight.

Moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "What do you think will happen in The Mandalorian season 2?

Me: Well the Mandalorian will journey to find the planet where baby Yoda came from and return him there, maybe we'll finally see where the actual Yoda came from. However Moff Gideon will of course be chasing after the Mandalorian and to stop him and capture baby Yoda, finally knowing why exactly he wants the child.

Chapter 59: The Emperor Returns

(Arthur's POV)

With Tyler following me we rushed over to the spot the Falcon landed on, smoke blowing out as fire crews went to work.

"I need a fire crew here!" An officer instructed. "I need another one at the back!" As I than heard Poe's voice.

"It's on fire, the whole thing's on fire, all of it… It's on fire…" Poe reported as I saw him walk up to Rey, the Jedi in training, speaking to her as Tyler and I got to helping to put out the fires raging on the Falcon, the hunk of junk it was, but than yet again having a hunk of junk was better than having nothing during these times.

"Why does it always seem like whenever someone else lends Poe their ships, he breaks them?" Tyler asked me as I chuckled, remembering the fact that I loaned Poe my fighter when he had to go on his mission to Jakku.

"Well…" I replied as I was holding onto a fire extinguisher and put out some sparks that shot out from a broken panel that had wires all over it. "At least it's a reminder that you should never ask Poe to fly mom or dad's X-Wings."

"Like I would…" Tyler rolled his eyes as I chuckled again while smiling.

"Don't worry boys, I wouldn't allow anyone else to fly those X-Wings, you know I still can't believe they're still in one piece, I guess your parents' luck really rubbed off on them." Grandpa Blu commented as he joined us.

"Yes sir." Tyler and I replied as he than got serious.

"After the situation with the Falcon is done however, we got a lot of work ahead of us, the intel Poe and the others brought with them is very important as I heard…" Grandpa Blu told us.

And it was…

As soon as the fires were brought under control, the intel Poe and the others brought was decoded as the majority of us gathered to hear what the information held.

"We decoded the intel from the First Order spy…" Poe began, taking a quick pause. "And it confirms the worst… Somehow Palpatine returned." Poe revealing the biggest shock as most of us gasped.

"Wait, do we believe this?" Rose asked, taking the words out of my own mouth as even thought I didn't exist back than, I knew the history well enough to doubt this piece of news.

"It cannot be!" Aftab Ackbar, the son of Admiral Ackbar, who joined us during the time the Resistance sought the help of Mon Calamari. "The emperor is dead."

The emperor was killed during the Battle of Endor, destroyed along with the second Death Star, a battle in which mom and dad fought in and survived to see the massive battle station explode, taking the emperor with it. As mom and dad put it, no one could have survived such an explosion.

"The dark side's cloning, secrets only the Sith knew…" A historian who was with us stated, pointing out a possible way Palpatine could have survived.

"He's been planning his revenge, his followers have been building something for years, the largest fleet the galaxy has ever known." Poe continued on, as if things couldn't get any worse… "He calls it the Final Order, in sixteen hours attacks on all free worlds begin, the Emperor and his fleet have been hiding in the unknown regions, on a world called Exegol." Poe finished, a world mom and dad have never heard, much less either Tyler or I.

"Exegol does not appear on any star charts. "General Organa's droid, C-3PO stated. "But legend describes it as the hidden world of the Sith." Oh well that's great… A whole world where the dark side resides, as I thought about that I saw Rey take off, going somewhere.

"So Palpatine has been out there this whole time, pulling his strings…" Poe in as much disbelief as anyone else.

"Always, in the shadows, from the very beginning…" General Organa quietly added.

"If we want to stop him, we must find him, we must find Exegol." Maz Kanata, the owner of the castle on Takodana, the one where Poe's droid BB-8 was and we went to rescue it, battling the First Order above the ruins of the castle and the lake, stated with confidence as than Rey's voice spoke in.

"General." Rey calling to General Organa. "Can I speak with you?" And with that the meeting was adjourned as all of us decided on what to do, Tyler and I discussing things with Grandpa Blu…

"Sir, you were at Endor along with mom and dad, you saw the Death Star destroyed, along with the Emperor, you can't honestly believe he's still alive can you?" I asked.

"I did see the battle station blow up and Luke Skywalker reported that the Emperor's own apprentice Darth Vader threw him down the reactor shaft…" Grandpa Blu remembering back. "But the dark side always seems to have surprises up their sleeves."

"And even if the Emperor isn't alive, you heard Poe, we're facing the largest fleet in the history of the galaxy and we're just a few hundred with a ragtag group of fighters and one handmedown corvette…" Tyler sighed in defeat.

"We'll find a way to win brother, even if it's impossible." I tried cheering up Tyler. "The question is how…"

"Well, we don't have much time to figure it out, hopefully whatever Rey talks about with the general will help us win, we just have to have hope boys, your parents wouldn't want you to give up." Grandpa Blu told us as Poe came to us, giving Grandpa Blu a salute as he spoke.

"Colonel, do you mind if I have a word with Arthur and Tyler?" Poe asked.

"Not at all commander." Grandpa Blu replied as he got up while facing Tyler and I. "I'll be inside the Tantive IV if you boys need me." And Grandpa Blu left as I asked Poe what this was about.

"So what's going on Poe?" I asked.

"Listen Rey is going on a mission to find this Sith Wayfinder thing to find Exegol, Finn, Chewie, C-3PO, BB-8, and I are going along with her on the Falcon." Poe told us. "Which means while I'm gone, someone needs to lead the fighters in my absence and well if I don't make it, to lead them for the final battle…"

"And that means Tyler and I right?" I finished Poe's statement for him.

"You two know me too well…" Poe smiled.

"Hey, you'll come back, but if you don't, we'll make sure to be just as crazy as you." Tyler joked as the three shared a quick laugh.

"Good luck Poe and try not to break the Falcon again." I shook wings with Poe before Tyler shook Poe's wing as well.

"No promises." Poe replied as he then left to go get ready to leave while I turned to Tyler.

"Well you should go get some rest Tyler, there's not much we can do for the time being." I told my brother. "You really need it when we do go to Exegol."

"What about you?" Tyler asked.

"I'm good, I'm going to go check on mom's X-Wing with Alex, now go get some rest, that's an order." I smiled.

"Yes sir." Tyler gave a playful salute as he left to go back to the Tantive IV where the barracks were.

Going back to where mom's X-Wing, now my fighter, was parked, I saw Alex working on it, happy to finally be working with mom's fighter.

"Hey Alex, how's it going, everything looking good?" I asked as Alex gave back a positive beep while I picked up a tool box and went to work myself. "Seems everything is in good shape so far, which is good…" I said as I heard the roar of some engines nearby.

Looking up I saw the Falcon lift up above the treetops before flying off into the skies and the space above, hopefully to bring back a way to find Exegol and end this war.

"It needs to be when the times comes…" I finished as I had this funny feeling in my stomach…

And so the final run to the end has began and the Emperor is back… Of course we all know how it ends, well for the movie at least…

And with that…

See everybird later!
