Hey, everybody. Back with another chapter.
Sorry it took a bit longer than usual. I started a new fanfiction, a crossover between the Avengers and Percy Jackson, so I've focused on that the last few days. Plus, I've had midterms, so that's taken up a lot of time.
Let's get to the chapter.
8Ball3: To answer your questions: 1) Yes, I have several stories planned for the time after Return of the Jedi, including one covering The Mandalorian. 2) I have plans for at least 80, probably more, chapters, 3)not sure, but probably same as in canon
the mysterious mr.E: You'll see soon enough.
Guest: Not sure what I'll do with Baby Yoda.
rangerhero: There will be a slight increase in defections after Endor.
Sectrooper: Possibly.
pervy sage: Yes.
Guest: Of course they have. Haven't you noticed me using other species in this series? I haven't gone into detail yet about their homeworlds, but I will in the future.
Chapter 65- Arriving on Endor
Luke looks out of the viewport of the shuttle as it approaches Endor. They had dropped out of hyperspace just a few minutes earlier, and are now approaching the forest moon.
Up ahead, they can see not only Endor, but also the Death Star in orbit over it. Between them and the Death Star, they can see a Super Star Destroyer and two normal Star Destroyers, moving as if they're preparing for a hyperspace jump.
"If they don't go for this, we're gonna have to get out of here pretty quick, Chewie," Han says.
A second later, they hear their radio come to life, and an Imperial controller say, "We have you on our screen now. Please identify."
Han presses a button and responds, "Shuttle Tydirium, requesting deactivation of the deflector shield."
"Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage," the Imperial controller responds.
"Transmission commencing," Han replies as he starts transmitting the code.
"Now we find out if that code is worth the price we paid," Leia says.
"It'll work. It'll work," Han says confidently.
Luke looks out at the Super Star Destroyer. "Vader's on that ship," he says simply.
"I sense it too," Kelly says, gripping Luke's hand.
"Now don't get jittery, you two. There are a lot of command ships," Han says. He pauses for a moment, then says, "Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance."
Chewie growls a question, and Han says, "I don't know. Fly casual."
The shuttle continues on its course. A moment later, a different voice comes over the radio and asks, "Shuttle Tydirium, what is your cargo and destination?"
"Parts and technical crew for the forest moon," Han replies simply.
They wait for a response, but no response comes right away. Luke and Kelly both get an uneasy feeling through the Force, and Luke says, "We're endangering the mission. We shouldn't have come."
"It's your imagination kids. Come on, let's keep a little optimism," Han says.
They keep waiting, but hear nothing from the Imperial controller. Finally, Han, getting suspicious himself, says, "They're not going for it Chewie."
However, only a moment later, the radio squeals again, and the Imperial controller says, "Shuttle Tydirium, deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Follow your present course."
Han smiles and turns to his crew as he says, "See? I told you it was gonna work."
Luke and Kelly share a glance. Neither of them are so sure. There is a feeling through the Force that neither of them can shake.
Han and Chewie guide the shuttle down through the atmosphere and down towards the surface, finally setting it down among the trees.
Once the shuttle is on the ground, Han opens the back of the shuttle, and the Rebel Pathfinders and the Rangers disembark. Han and the cockpit crew follow close behind.
As soon as everyone is off the shuttle, Han looks at a map of the area and quickly determines the path they need to take. Everyone gathers up all of their gear and sets off through the trees. Han is leading the pack with Luke, Leia, Kelly, and Chewie. The Rangers are following close behind, with the Pathfinders behind them.
It doesn't take long for them to run into an obstacle. Coming up a ridge, Han hears something. He turns back to his team and motions downwards with his hand. "Oh, I knew it was dangerous here," 3PO says as everyone crouches down to avoid being seen.
Han, Luke, Leia, Kelly, Chewie, and Lieutenant Colonel Todd Brown peak their heads over a fallen tree. Below them, on the other side of the ridge, they can see a pair of Imperial scout troopers walking around in the brush, a pair of speeder bikes near them.
"Should we try and go around them?" Leia asks.
"It'll take time," Luke says.
"Okay. Chewie and I will take care of them," Han says.
"Or, better yet, say the word and I'll have two of my men snipe their asses," Brown says.
"No. There could be more of them down there that could sound the alarm," Luke says. He then looks at Han and says, "Be careful."
"Hey. It's me," Han says with a grin before turning and crawling away with Chewie. His words have the opposite intended effect, as Leia, Luke, and Kelly look at each in amusement, rolling their eyes a bit.
They quickly return their attention to the scout troopers. The troopers continue wandering about, checking their bikes and chatting, completely unaware that there are enemies around. Then, as they watch, they see Han and Chewie creeping up on the troopers. Han signals Chewie to move forward, then walks out from behind a tree with his blaster.
Then, right as he's about to attack the scout trooper, he steps on a branch, which snaps under his foot. He stops short at the sound. The scout trooper quickly turns around, and seeing Han, backhands him and knocks him off his feet, accidently causing him to fire his blaster. The scout trooper turns to his comrade and says, "Go for help! Go!" the other trooper hurries towards his speeder bike.
Luke, Kelly, and Leia look at each other before leaping up and starting to run down to help Han. As they are running, Han gets up and throws the scout trooper to the ground. At the same time, Chewie hurries after the other trooper as the trooper tries to escape on his speeder bike, and fires his crossbow. After a few bolts, one of them hits the speeder bike, blowing it up and killing the trooper.
Luke, Kelly, and Leia hurry down the ridge, and Kelly quickly notices two more scout troopers on speeder bikes. "Over there! Two more of them!" she calls as the troopers take off on their speeder bikes.
"I see them," Luke says. Then, seeing Leia racing towards the last speeder bike, he calls out, "Wait, Leia!" He runs after Leia, and just manages to leap onto the speeder bike behind her before she takes off.
"Wait!" Han calls after them, but they're already gone. Then, the scout trooper comes up behind him, and Han grabs him by the wrist, yanking him over his shoulder and throwing him to the ground. Kelly hurries up to help Han. She quickly draws and ignites her lightsaber, driving it through the trooper's chest as the trooper tries to get back on his feet.
Kelly looks down at the trooper's body then back up at Han. After a moment, she says, "Well, I guess there's nothing we can do but hang tight and wait for them to come back."
"Guess so," Han says.
The team settles down amidst the trees, resting against the trees or boulders, waiting for Luke and Leia to come back.
For about a half hour, they stay where they are, just trying to keep from getting too bored. After about a half hour, R2 suddenly starts beeping, and 3PO calls out, "Oh, General Solo. Someone is coming."
Everyone quickly snaps upright, ready to fight. Then, Luke comes trotting out of the midst of the trees. "Luke!" Kelly calls out as she returns her lightsaber to her belt. She runs up to him and embraces him tightly.
As they separate, Han and Chewie walk up. "Where's Leia?" Han asks.
Luke looks back at Han and asks, "What, she didn't come back?"
"I thought she was with you," Han replies.
"We got separated. Hey, we better go look for her," Luke says.
Han quickly turns to Lieutenant Colonel Brown. "Take the squad ahead. We'll meet at the shield generator at 0300," Han says.
"Copy that, General," Brown says. He then motions to the Rangers and Pathfinders and heads off into the trees.
"Come on, R2. We'll need your scanners," Luke says.
"Don't worry, Master Luke! We know what to do!" 3PO says. He then turns back to R2 and says with a scoff, "And you said it was pretty here."
The team moves quickly through the trees, fanning out a bit to cover more ground, looking for any sign of Leia, the scout troopers, or the speeder bikes. After about a half hour of searching, Luke and Kelly suddenly spot wrecks of two speeder bikes. As they look them, Luke spots something else.. As Luke walks up and bends down, he sees that its one of the hats worn by the Rebels. Picking it up, he and Kelly look at it.
"Luke! Kelly!" Han calls out. The two of them hurry over to where Han is standing, and immediately see the wreck of another speeder bike.
"There's two more wrecked speeders back there. And I found this," Luke says, tossing the hat to Han.
"I'm sorry to report, but, R2's sensors can found no trace of Princess Leia," 3PO says.
Han looks off into the distance and says, "I hope she's alright."
The team is silent for a moment before Chewie howls and starts walking off into the trees. "What, Chewie? What, Chewie?"
The team follows Chewie. Chewie stops not far away, standing next to a tree with a dead animal hanging in the branches.
"Ah, it's just a dead animal, Chewie," Han says.
Chewie reaches for the animal. Luke, quickly realizing that something is off, cries out, "Wait, Chewie, don't!" He tries to reach out to stop Chewie, but it's too late. All around them, a net erupts from the ground, yanking all of them up.
Everyone groans in frustration, and Han says, "Great. Great, Chewie. Always thinking with your stomach," Han says to Chewie in irritation.
"Can you take it easy? Let's just figure out a way to get out of this thing. Han, can you reach mine of Kelly's lightsabers?" Luke asks.
"Yeah, sure," Han says, trying to pull himself a little closer to the two of them to try and reach their lightsabers.
R2, however, has other ideas. Opening a hatch on his front, the droid deploys a small circular saw and quickly begins cutting through the net.
"R2, I'm not sure that's such a good idea," 3PO starts to say, but it's too late. Very quickly, R2 finishes cutting through the net, and the net comes apart, causing everyone inside it to fall unceremoniously to the ground.
As they slowly sit up, everyone realizes that they're not alone. Emerging from the brush all around them are small creatures that look almost like large, oversized teddy bears. Kelly vaguely remembers reading about them in a book about known species of the Andromeda Galaxy. She leans in towards Luke and whispers, "They're called Ewoks."
Everyone in the group looks around at the Ewoks as the little creatures surround them, chattering in their language. All of them look at the Ewoks, wondering what the little creatures want. That is, until one of the Ewoks walks up to Han and thrusts a crude spear up in Han's face.
Han looks a little irritated and says, "Hey, point that thing someplace else," and he pushes the spear away. The Ewok in question chatters for a few seconds with another Ewok beside him, then thrusts the spear right back in Han's face.
This just makes Han angry. "Hey!" he growls, trying to grab the spear away from the Ewok while pulling out his blaster. However, Luke quickly grabs his arm and says, "Han, no, it'll be okay."
Han lets go of the spear, and an Ewok quickly takes the blaster away from Han. Several more Ewoks take Luke and Kelly's lightsabers. Another couple of Ewoks try to take Chewie's crossbow, but he resists, growling. Luke looks at him and says calmly, "Chewie give 'em your crossbow." Chewie finally relents and gives up his crossbow.
Right then, 3PO sits up, saying, "Oh, my head."
There are gasps from the gathered Ewoks as they see 3PO. The Ewoks turn to each other, chattering in their language, clearly amazed by 3PO. Then, one by one, the Ewoks start bowing over and over to 3PO chanting in their language as the leader says several things in his tongue to 3PO.
3PO responds to the Ewoks after a few moments. Luke, looking a bit confused, asks, "Do you understand anything they're saying?"
"Oh, yes, Master Luke. Remember, I am fluent in over 6 million forms of…" 3PO responds.
Han cuts him off with a curt, "What are you telling them?"
3PO pauses for a moment before he says, "Hello, I think. I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect. But I do believe they think I am some sort of god."
Chewie growls a few times, and Luke and Kelly share an amused look as R2 lets out some amused sounding beeps. Han looks at 3PO as he says, "Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?"
"I beg your pardon, General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper," 3PO responds.
"Proper?" Han asks incredulously.
"It's against my programming to impersonate a deity," 3PO responds.
Luke and Kelly both look at each other and start to chuckle to each other, highly amused. However, Han, angry, starts towards 3PO as he growls, "Why, you-!"
The Ewoks respond instantly, bunching up in Han's way and pointing their spears at Han, chattering away what can only be warnings in their language. Han stops, putting his hands up. After a moment, he says in an effort to placate the Ewoks, "My mistake. He's an old friend of mine."
This does not work. The Ewoks bring forward thick sticks, and quickly tie the wrists and legs together of every member of the group before hanging them from the sticks. They then tie R2 to a rack. Finally, they fashion a makeshift throne for 3PO and sit him on it.
More Ewoks arrive, and form a long procession heading back to their homes. Many of the Ewoks are carrying their captives, while several are carrying 3PO on his makeshift throne.
It's a long procession back to the Ewok village. By the time they reach the village, night is falling.
The procession makes its way up to a large platform outside the biggest huts in the village. They hang most of their human captives and Chewie from wooden stands, setting R2 off to the side. Han is hung over a particular spot that looks suspiciously like a fire pit. They then set 3PO down in front of the largest hut.
Kelly looks over at Luke. "I'm kinda glad we sent the Rangers off. Or else all the Ewoks would probably be dead by now," she says.
"Agreed. I just hope we can figure this out quickly. I don't like where this is going," Luke says.
"Agreed," Kelly says to her husband.
Meanwhile, the chief of the Ewoks, who is currently holding Luke's lightsaber, approaches 3PO. 3PO engages in a brief conversation with the chief, who looks like he's trying to explain something to 3PO.
Han, impatient to know what's going on, asks, "What did he say?"
"I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor," 3PO says.
Chewie growls, and Kelly and Luke exchange nervous looks. Several Ewoks, singing in their tongue, start laying small logs under Han as two Ewoks off to the side start playing a drum.
As this is happening, movement catches Kelly's eye. Turning her head to the left, she sees, to her surprise, Leia emerging from one of the huts, wearing a brown dress that looks like it was made by the Ewoks.
"Leia!" she calls out, drawing the others' attention to her.
"Leia," Han says with a smile.
Leia tries to move towards her lover, but the Ewoks move to block her path. She looks down at them and says, "But these are my friends." She then turns to 3PO and says, "3PO, tell them they must be set free."
3PO speaks to the Ewok chief, trying to get him to release Han. The chief shakes his head and issues directions to the other Ewoks, who begin whooping and moving more firewood over to Han. Han looks at the firewood with dread before looking over at 3PO and saying, "Somehow I got the feeling that didn't help us very much."
Luke now decides to voice his new idea. "3PO. Tell them if they don't do as you ask, you will become angry and use your magic," he says.
"But Master Luke, what magic? I couldn't possibly-" 3PO starts to respond.
"Just tell them!" Luke cuts him off. He then exchanges a look with Kelly, and she nods in understanding.
3PO starts speaking to the Ewoks, drawing the attention of all the gathered Ewoks. As he finishes, several of them gasp, but it doesn't seem to faze most of them. The chief says several things in his tongue, and several Ewoks start approaching Han with torches as others start whooping.
"You see, Master Luke? They didn't believe me, just as I said they wouldn't," 3PO says.
Han is starting to get a bit desperate. He starts telling the Ewoks to wait while trying to blow out their torches.
Kelly and Luke exchange a glance, then both nod before closing their eyes. A moment later, 3PO's throne suddenly lifts into the air. The Ewoks start to freak out at the sight. Then, the Ewok's torches and other various objects begin to rise up into the air.
The Ewoks begin to panic and scramble around, believing that it's 3PO doing it. 3PO, on the other hand, is panicing himself, calling for help from the group.
The Ewok chief quickly realizes he has to listen to 3PO before something worse happens. He immediately issues orders to let the prisoners go. A number of Ewoks converge on the humans and Wookiee and hurry to undo their bonds. Several other Ewoks hurry over to R2 and use a small axe to cut the ropes away. R2 falls away and hits the ground with a loud crash. One of the Ewoks pulls R2 back upright. R2, quite irritated at being tied up and left to fall to the ground, deploys a shocker from his front and discharges an electric shock at the Ewok. The Ewok yelps and tries to run away, but R2 shocks him once more in irritation.
As Han stands up after being let go, Leia runs over, and the two kiss several times, drawing some exclamations from the Ewoks.
Kelly and Luke lower 3PO and the other objects they lifted to the ground, then turn to each other and smile before sharing a quick kiss. They then put their arms around Han and Leia as the two walk up to them. Luke then looks over at 3PO and says with a smile, "Thanks, 3PO."
"I never knew I had it in me," 3PO says in surprise.
(Hours later)
Luke and Kelly smile a bit as they sit back against the wall of a large hut in the Ewok village. 3PO is currently telling the story of the Terran Alliance and the Rebellion and their struggle against the Empire, and especially everything that has happened to the people here in the hut.
As they watch, Luke looks down at Kelly. "Honey, I have to go," he says.
Kelly looks up at him in shock. "What? Why?" she asks.
"Vader is here. Now, on this moon. I can sense him. And I know he can sense me. I can't stay here, because I will endanger the mission. I have to confront him. Yoda told me I have to confront him," Luke says.
Kelly looks at him for a moment before saying, "Then I'm coming with you."
"Kelly-" Luke starts to protest.
"No, Luke. You are not leaving me behind. Remember our wedding vows? Until death do us part? Our vows to stick together through everything? I'm not helpless. I'm a Jedi like you, and I've trained under my father and brother, some of the only people Darth Vader has ever feared. If you're going, then I'm going with you, and that's final," Kelly says firmly.
Luke is quiet for several moments before sighing and saying, "Alright." He then smiles and says, "I love you. You know that?"
Kelly smiles and kisses him. "I do. But I never tire of hearing you say it," she says.
Right then, they hear the Ewok chief utter something like a cheer. He says several things to the Ewoks, and one of the Ewoks begins to beat a drum. After a few more words from the chief, and 3PO turns to his companions, saying cheerfully, "Wonderful. We are now a part of the tribe!"
The Ewoks begin to cheer and pile around the new tribe members to welcome them. Meanwhile, Luke and Kelly look at each other and nod once before getting up and slowly slipping out of the hut. However, they do not go unnoticed, and Leia follows them out.
As the couple walks slowly away from the hut, Leia hurries up behind them. "Luke, Kelly, what's wrong?" she asks.
The two turn back to Leia. As they do, Luke asks, "Leia, do you remember your mother, your real mother?"
"Only a little bit. She died when I was a baby," Leia says.
"What do you remember?" Luke asks.
"Only a few hazy images. Feelings," Leia responds.
"Tell me," Luke says.
"She was very beautiful. But sad. But…I also remember a feeling of love," Leia responds. She pauses, then asks, "Why are you asking me this?"
"I have no memory of my mother," Luke responds simply as he lowers his eyes, staring at the ground.
"Luke, tell me, what's troubling you?" Leia asks.
Luke looks back at Leia and says, "Vader is here. Now. On this moon."
"How do you know?" Leia asks.
"I've felt his presence. He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near, and probably Kelly too. That's why we have to go. As long as we stay, we're endangering the group and our mission here. I have to face him," Luke says.
"Why?" Leia presses.
Luke looks back at the ground for a second, then, as Kelly squeezes his hand for support, says, "He's my father."
He looks back at Leia, who looks absolutely shocked. "Your father?" she asks incredulously.
"There's more. It won't be easy for you to hear it, but you must. If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Rebellion," Luke says.
"Luke, don't talk that way. You have a power I don't understand and could never have," Leia responds.
"You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time, you'll learn to use it as I havel," Luke says. He then pauses before saying, "The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And…my sister has it."
Both Leia and Kelly look at Luke in shock, hardly believing what he just said. Luke then continues, saying, "Yes. It's you Leia."
After a moment, Leia says, "I know. Somehow, I've always known."
Kelly wants to say something, but stays quiet, still stunned by the revelation that Leia is her sister in law. Then, Luke says, "Then you know why I have to face him."
"No! Luke, run away. Far away. If he can feel your presence her, then leave this place. I wish I could go with you," she says.
"No, you don't. You've always been strong. And if I fall, you must take my place. Even with the Terran Jedi and their backing from the Alliance, only one of your family can lead us to victory over the Emperor," Luke says.
"But why must you confront Vader?" Leia asks.
"Because. There is good in him I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try," Luke insists.
Luke then gives Leia a quick kiss on the cheek. He then steps back, and Kelly steps forward to give Leia a hug. As she embraces Leia, Kelly whispers into her ear, "Good luck. Sister."
She then pulls back, smiles once at Leia, then turns and takes Luke's hand. And together, they walk off, ready to face whatever may come, together.
(A few hours later)
Vader walks calmly along the walkway on the outside of the landing platform next to the shield generator. As he approaches the door at the other end of the walkway, it opens, revealing an Imperial officer and several stormtroopers, escorting Luke and Kelly, both of whom have their hands bound.
"These is the Rebel and the Terran that surrendered to us. Although they deny it, I believe there may be more of them, and I request permission to conduct a further search of the area. They were armed only with these," the officer says before handing their lightsabers to Vader.
"Good work, commander. Leave us. Conduct your search, and bring their companions to me," Vader orders.
"Yes, my lord," the officer says before walking away with the stormtroopers.
Vader turns and begins to walk along the walkway, Luke and Kelly following closely. "The Emperor has been expecting you, Luke," Vader says.
"I know, father," Luke replies.
"So, you have accepted the truth," Vader comments.
"I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father," Luke says.
Vader turns to Luke, pointing Luke's lightsaber hilt at him, and says firmly, "That name no longer has any meaning for me.
"It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten," Luke says firmly. After a momentary pause, he says, "I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully." Luke then turns and walks over to the edge of the walkway, saying, "That was why you couldn't destroy me. That's why you won't bring me to your Emperor now."
Vader, rather than respond, looks down at Luke's lightsaber before igniting it. "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber," Vader comments, turning the saber in his hand to examine it. He then looks at Luke and says, "Your skills are complete."
After a moment, Vader deactivates the saber and turns away from Luke, saying, "Indeed you are powerful, as the emperor has foreseen."
Luke then turns back to Vader. "Come with me," he says.
Without facing Luke, Vader says, "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." He then turns to Luke as he says, "You don't know the power of the dark side. I must obey your master."
"You will never break us. Together, we will face whatever you and your Emperor will throw at us. We will never turn from the light," Kelly says defiantly.
Vader turns to Kelly. For several seconds, he stares at her. Then, he says, with an air of suspicion, "Show me your hand."
Knowing what he wants to see, Kelly, proudly and without any hesitation, holds out her hands as best she can while they're cuffed. Vader looks down at her hand, where her engagement and wedding rings sit.
After a moment, Vader turns his head towards Luke. "You wed the daughter of Samuel Adams?" he asks.
"Yes. I did," Luke says, a bit of pride in his voice.
Vader looks back at Kelly. After a moment, he says, "Then perhaps that is why you have grown so much. I can see the strength, the appeal in this one. I can see how she has pushed you to greater heights."
After a moment, Luke says, "Love is stronger than anything. Even the dark side. And that's why I know that there is still good in you. I know that there is still love in you somewhere. I can feel the conflict in you father. Let go of your hate."
"It is too late for me, son," Vader says. He then makes a motion, and the door near them opens, several stormtroopers coming out.
"The Emperor will show you both the true nature of the Force. He is your master now," Vader says.
Luke sighs and shakes his head for a bit before he says, "Then my father is truly dead. And my wife is my only family left." He and Kelly then turn and allow the stormtroopers to escort them away, as Vader stares after them, thinking.
(Mandalore)
A series of turbolaser bolts rock the bridge, causing Admiral Korolyov to grab hold of a control panel.
It's been almost a day since the Second Fleet arrived in the Mandalore system. The battle against the Imperial fleet has been ongoing ever since. Two waves of Imperial reinforcements have arrived since the final battle, but neither group was near large enough to challenge the Second Fleet.
By now, most of the Imperial fleet has been destroyed, and a Thai division has landed on the moon Concordia. They've seized a number of the mines, and are advancing on the main city.
However, there's still one large barrier to Mandalore itself. The Super Star Destroyer, which has by now been identified as the Whelm, is still fighting. The Tirpitz, Warspite, Bismarck, and Hood are still engaging the Imperial ship, and the Lutzow has just joined the fight. However, despite sustaining heavy damage, the Whelm is still firing, determined to fight to the end.
"Admiral! Ground forces on Concordia have reported in! They've taken the capital city. Concordia is now under our control," one of the bridge officers says.
"Good! Scramble our remaining bombers. Target the bridge, and order our fighter bombers to target the Whelm's engines!" Korolyov shouts as he looks back at his bridge crew. He then looks back at the Whelm as another turbolaser blast rocks the bridge, and says to himself, "They can't last much longer."
And, I'll end there. I hope you liked that.
So, I debated for the longest time on whether or not to have Kelly accompany Luke, or stay on Endor. Eventually, I decided that Kelly is not the kind of person who would accept being told to stay behind, so I decided to have her go. She will be present for the entire sequence of events in the throne room, although I'm still planning for the duel to just be between Luke and Vader.
Now, I hope for the next chapter to be up soon. However, school is getting busier, and I have my newest story to work on as well. Updates on this, and all my other fanfictions will be less frequent from now on until about early December, which is about how long my schoolwork is going to be crazy busy.
Well, until the next chapter is up, please leave a review, and stay tuned!
