Chapter 7: Cloud City Disaster

When the group arrived, Obi-Wan said, "Luke, go to Dagobah. We'll meet you there. Padmé, you, Anakin, and I will stay on the Falcon."

The group split up according to Obi-Wan's instructions, but Luke had visions of Leia being in danger. Fearing for the safety of his twin, Luke returned to Cloud City. Before he arrived, though, Han was frozen in carbonite and handed over to a bounty hunter named Boba Fett to be taken to Jabba the Hutt.

Anakin felt his son's arrival and raced to help him before Obi-Wan could stop him. Vader soon sliced through Luke's hand. Anakin crept past Vader and stood in front of Luke. "Stay away from my son," Anakin warned.

"Luke is my son," Vader shot back. Anakin deactivated his saber and backed away and fell, grabbing onto where Luke's hand had once been.

Luke let go of the shaft he was holding onto and Anakin and Luke freefell through the chasm below them and falling through another opening and grabbing onto a pole. "Leia, Leia. Hear me," Luke called desperately to his twin.

"I know where Luke is," Leia said, shoving Lando out of the pilot's seat.

Lando struggled to his feet. Padmé rolled her eyes and watched as Lando and Obi-Wan both caught the men of her family. Anakin pulled quickly away from Obi-Wan and without a look at Padmé, disappeared into one of the many bedrooms.

Obi-Wan looked at her and mouthed, "He knows."

She nodded sadly.

"Mom," Luke groaned in agony.
