Chapter 14:
Meeting Yoda
When the Millennium Falcon landed on Coruscant, only Yoda was there to greet them. Padme approached the Jedi Master and bowed. "Master Yoda, my
children and my husband tell me that you wish to speak to me." Yoda nodded and led them to the Jedi Council Dome, "Speak to you, the Council will. Train you,
we must, with permission of yours, of course." Padme became confused. She asked, "Train me?" Yoda softly laughed. "Hm. Train you as a Jedi we will." Then a
voice and spirit of Mace Windu appeared, "You're the wife and mother of Jedi, it seems only logical to train you as well."
Padme wanted to resist. "I'm a Senator, I can't be devoted to two different movements that are so against each other." Yoda interjected, "Political foes, we
are not. No longer do the Sith rule the galaxy. Reigns high, peace does." Windu looked at Padme. "Milady, I believe, along with Yoda and the Council that
marriages within the Jedi way of life should be allowed. The Code has been changed. The Council also sees the love of your daughter and Han Solo reaching
a climax. Is this not true, Padawan Leia?" Leia: "Yes, Master Windu, it is true. Han and I are in love as much as my parents are." Windu looked at Han, "Do
you deny what Leia has confirmed? Do you concur, Captain?" Han: "Yes..er, Master Windu. I concur with Leia. I love you as much as she loves me." Windu:
"It's settled then. Marriages in Jedi will be encouraged from now on. However, the Code of having one apprentice/padawan is still in effect. So Anakin, you
must choose your Padawan for yourself. Of course, any Padawan you take will not replace Ahsoka Tano. I'm sure you'll train your chosen apprentice well,
with the Council's help." Anakin bows, "I understand Masters. I will like to have my son Luke as my apprentice, if that's alright, son?" Luke excitingly agreed
and hugged his father. "Then I will train Leia", said Obi-Wan. Leia accepted. Master Yoda was last. It didn't take long for the Grand Master to make his
decision. "Choose, I do, the wife of the Chosen One."
As Windu departed, he said to all of them, "May the Force be with you".
