Dagobah – Two Days Later
As Leia was going through her training as a Jedi, Han was getting information from Padme about how and why Vader the way he is. He was shocked to learn that he was once Anakin Skywalker, the greatest of Jedi there was! He had looked up to him and Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars, not knowing that the old man was the same person from the Wars! He wished now that he had shown him more respect now instead of mouthing off to Kenobi like he did.
Han admired the fact that both Leia and her brother had survived here with Master Yoda and Ahsoka Tano. They had made huts for themselves until Brian was old enough to have one of his own. He saw Leia come back from her run with Yoda in the sack that was on her back. She was asking questions about why the Dark Side was stronger than the Light. Yoda told her that the Dark Side was not stronger than the Light Side. He told her that when she was at peace, she would know the Light from the Dark. She was going to ask him some more questions, but he told her no more questions for today.
She then took the sack off her back so Yoda can walk now. She then felt cold. She looked at Yoda for an answer.
"Into the cave you must go. Strong in the Dark Side it is." He told her.
Padme knew what Yoda was talking about! It was the cave that Brian had gone into not too long ago, and passed! Hopefully Leia would listen to what Master Yoda had told her, and not take any weapons in with her. She saw Leia putting on her weapons belt, but Yoda spoke to Leia.
"Your weapons you will not need. Take with you what you have learned." He told her.
Leia thought this through, and took her belt off. Han was going to say something, but Padme told him that she would be alright. Leia followed her senses to the entranced to the cave, and went inside. She felt a disturbance in the Force, and it was coming from straight ahead of her! She wished now she had something to use, but thought better of it!
She heard the unmistakable breathing of Darth Vader! Corrected her father now that she knew the truth! She stood tall and proud of what she was going to do! She held her ground as her father came towards her, and tried to use the Dark Side of the Force, but failed! He fell to the ground, and Leia looked at the mask as it exploded to reveal a part of a face that could not be described! The face looked familiar, but it was too terrible to look at! She felt like she had passed a test, and left the cave.
When she emerged from the cave, Master Yoda told her that she had passed the cave of the Dark Side. She then asked him what she had saw, but Master Yoda could not answer that one. Padme and Han went over to her to congratulate her on passing this test even though there were many more to come. Leia was going to do her best in the best way that a Skywalker could. She hopes that her brother and everyone else is safe now, and that they will get together to end the Empire once and for all once she is done with her training.
