Here is the next chapter. This will take us through A New Hope.

Luke was sitting in the piloted chair of the Knight's Escape with Mirax in the co-pilots chair. Mara and Corran where both in the gun wells. They had shields and weapons at full strength. While they where in the Escape near Tatooine, Ben was in the Falcon waiting for the Corellian corvette caring Leia. Once it arrived Ben would contact then and get Leia, the plans and the droid's on the Falcon and head for Yavin IV. He was also to order the corvette captain to head to Alderaan to pick up Bail Organa and also take him to Yavin IV. While This was going on Luke and the crew of the Escape were going to try to stall Vader and his Star Destroyer.

Luke would comm the star destroyer and request to speak with Vader. They figured Vader would be distracted when Luke identified himself. Once they got Vader on the comm Luke would demand Anikins surrender to face charges of treason and murder for his actions when Palpatine took over. Nobody expected him to surrender but hope that he would be able to sense the 3 Jedi Masters on the ship along with Luke's name and cause him to lose focus on the corvette. At the first sign of hostilities both Mara and Corran would open up on the shield dome sitting on top of the ships super structure. One the were took out Luke would start firing proton missiles at the super structure starting with the bridge. Once the corvette and the Falcon where gone the Escape would make it's own escape and head for Yavin IV.

Luke was meditating when he heard Mirax call out. "Luke a Corellian Corvette just entered the system and is heading this way." "OK Mirax, notify the Falcon and I ill set a course that will put us about and between where we believe the Destroyer will arrive." Mara activated the comms as Luke moved the ship. "Escape to Falcon Corvette just enter the system. Sending the coordinates, course and speed." "Copy that Sweetheart." Luke and Mara just shock their heads at the typical Solo response. A few minutes after the corvette past the Escape the destroyer entered the system. This time Luke opened communications. "Imperial star destroyer this is the freighter Knight's Escape. Jedi Master Luke Shywalker requesting to speak with Darth Vader." Turning to Mirax "Lets hope that get's his attention."

L/M

Vader was on the bridge when the ship received the hail. When the words Jedi Master were spoken the whole bridge went quiet. The captain looked at Vader for instructions. It was the word Skywalker that got his attention. He walked towards the Captains chair and activated it comm.

"Freighter Knight's Escape you are order to shut down and surrender to me. Refusal will result in the distinction of your ship and crew." Luke took a deep breath and let the force flow threw him as he calmly replied. "Jedi Skywalker on behalf to the surveying Jedi and Jedi Masters I am here to take you in to custody for treason against the Order and the Old Republic and Murder for your actions at the Jedi Temple that not only resulted in the deaths of Jedi but youngling also. You are here by ordered to surrender." Luke addressed the rest "Get ready." No sooner then he said that and all three Masters felt the warning threw the force.

Both Mara and Corran fired on the shield domes. Both were destroyed before the destroyer could raise shields. Luke fired a proton missile at the bridge the let lose with several more hitting the super structure in several places. They were so fast in there attack that the destroyer took several hits before it started to respond. Luke already had the ship moving before the first return shot was fired. While he flew Mirax monitored the progress on the Falcon and the corvette.

Obi-Wan Kenobi thought the plan was crazy but went along with it. Leave it to a Skywalker to come up with it. Even if the Skywalker was a Skywalker threw marriage. Obi-Wan knew Padme would have loved her daughter-in-law. They both where cut from the same cloth.

He was suppressing his force signature so all Vader's attention would be on Luke and them. He head the transmission letting them know the Tantive IV arrived. He activated the comm and called the corvette. "This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi calling Captain Antillies. Requested permission to come along side and connect." "Master Kenobi can you verify that you are who you say you are." "Captain you have two droid's a R2 unit and a protocol droid's give to you by Bail Organa. C3PO memory was wiped but R2-D2 was not. He can identify me but I would suggest we hurry as I expect Vader will be here soon and we don't have a lot of time." It wasn't a second later that a Star Destroyer appeared on the edge of the system. "Captain We have a ship stalling them. I would like Senator Organa and the two droid's I mentioned to transfer over so I can escort them to Yavin IV. I also need you to collected Bail Organa and join us there." "Master Kenobi come along aside, sending you docking information. Princess Leia will meet you and board your ship." Solo moved the Falcon along the side of the corvette as ordered. A docking collar is extended. As Kenobi left the cockpit Han and Chewy seen a small battle start up where the destroyer was along with the Escape.

Kenobi came back in the cockpit 10 minutes later with a young woman in white. "Solo please signal the Escape and then lets get out of here." Chewy called the Escape as the Falcon left the area. The Tantive IV left a minute later.

Luke and Mara walked down the ramp of the Knight's Escape with Corran and Mirax right behind them. They had arrived in the Yavin system well after the Falcon and were meet by couple fighters from Red Squadron. "Unidentified freighter transmit security codes." Luke looked at Mara in the co-pilot chair. Mara had a smirk. Both recognized Biggs voice. Luke saw the mischief look on his wife's face so he let her respond. "Biggs Darklighter if you don't let Luke land this ship with out a security code. What I did to Fixer when he refused to stop calling me Red look like child play." Corran and Mirax look confused while Luke tried not to laugh. They got a reply a minute later. "Mara, what brings you and Luke all the way out here and where did you get the hunk of junk you are flying." "Call my ship a hunk of junk again and you better hope Vader get you before I do. Now escort us planet side we got business with Alliance command."

L/M

Down on the planet Ben was in command listening to the radio chatter between the fighters and the Escape. Shaking his head he turned to Mon Mothma. "Darklighter should know better then to get Mara all riled up. He was there the day she put Fixed in the local medical center for a week."

L/M

After getting the OK from the fighters Luke followed them planet side. When they landed near where the Falcon was Luke and Mara started powering down while Corran and Mirax lowered the boarding ramp. They were meet by Ben and Mon Mothma. Ben handled the introductions. Mon Mothma turned to Luke "Master Skywalker welcome to you and your crew." "Thank you Mon Mothma." "I meet your father a couple times. He was a promising Jedi." "He may have been at one time but what he did in betraying the Republic, he will need to answer for." Mon Mothma just nodded. Ben let them know that there where quarters set aside for them or they could stay on their ship. Luke, Mara, Corran and Mirax took the quarters since they would be able to share a room with their spouse. Mara ordered the two R2 units on board to run a full diagnostics on the ship. Ben also told them that Bail Organa had also arrived.

The 4 Jedi Masters, Mirax, Bail Organa and Mon Mothma all meet in a privet meeting. Luke and the others decided to inform the two about them coming back. Knowing both were honest and could be trusted. When they were all sitting down Luke stood and addressed the two Alliance leaders. "What I am about to tell you is a secret that must be kept at all cost. You will have questions about what I'm going to say, please wait till I am finished." After both agreed Luke began their story with the others adding a little her or there. When done Luke sat while the two Alliance leaders came to grips with what they just heard.

Bail was the first to speak. "Why wait to come out in the open now?" "While we are all mentally in our 40's we are physical still in our late teens. We have to be carefull about to many people finding out. What do you thing the Emperor or even Vader would do if they found out and that is just two individuals that would try to either kill us or capture us for our knowledge. There is also things we don't know that happen before this date and time. I knew about Vader showing up at the Tatooine system because I was there. It's how I got involved with the Rebellion." Mara spoke up after Luke finished. "Even though we could not be here we tried to forward some information I acquired before leaving Coruscant to the Alliance. Hopefully it was helpful even if we couldn't be here yet. We also have a lot more data on our ship." Mon Mothma hide her surprise at this and spoke. "We received some data from an unknown source that we were able to use to fight the Empire. It also help save some lives." "We will need to let General Cracken get a look at your Intel." stated Organa. Mara finished with "We have no problem with that but we do not want him to know the truth about us. We are aware he will be curious about us but we would like to keep that information to the two of you."

They all talked about what the four knew about the next couple years Luke did not want to get to far ahead because a lot of things will be change from what happen the first time around. They all agreed to meet again after the threat of the Death Star was dealt with. The plan for that was to have the Rebellion have ships search the systems near the core, starting with Alderaan. Once it was found then an attack force of fighters would be sent. Luke, Mara and Corran would go after the exhaust port while Red and Green Squadron took care of any Tie fighters. Ben and Mirax would also go in the Escape but would stay out of range of the attack. Mon Mothma offered some additional crew to fill empty crew spots. Luke and the other two offered to run Sims against the other X-wing pilots. All three had more experience then any X-wing pilots the rebellion had now especially Corran. The hope was it would help the other pilots improve before the attack.

It was a couple weeks later when the Death Star was spotted outside the Alderaan system. No one knew if it was going to attack or was waiting for another target. 25 X-wings came out of hyperspace right on top of it to give the Death Star any warning. Luke, Mara and Corran broke off when they arrived and headed for the trench that would lead to the exhaust port. The rest started making strafing runs on the super laser and the surface of the space station. The Escape came out of hyperspace 5 minutes in to the attack.

Luke lead his group down the trench with a shields forward and running at full speed. They did not expect any fighters to show up before they could make the shot. While they were making their run Red and Green squadrons were engaged by Tie fighters. The fighters stayed with their wing mans knowing the Ties were faster and more maneuverable then the X-wing. Though with shields the X-wings were more then able to match the Ties.

When Luke got close to the target he turned his targeting computer off knowing it would be of no use, he had it on to keep track of the distance to the exhaust port. When he got in range he fired and pulled up along with Mara and Corran. "All fighters break off. Proton missiles are away and on target." All remaining fighter broke off and headed towards the Escape to meet up and leave the system. As soon as they cleared the area the Death Star blew up ending the threat to the galaxy it posses. Luke notice they had only lost 3 fighters and Biggs and Wedge were still alive. Less then a half an hour after starting the attack all remaining ships left the system.

Vader was on the auxiliary bridge of his battle damage Destroyer when the Death Star exploded. I had taken over two weeks to repair the engines and hyperdrive and when they finally make it to their destination they arrived just in time to see it destroyed by rebel fighters. The Emperor would not be happy with this news. On top of that they had no idea where the rebels where located.

L/M

The attack force arrived to a hero's welcome. They accomplished their mission with few deaths. Mon Mothma wanted to present the Masters with medals but Luke talked her out of it.

When Luke got a chance he found Han and thanked him for his help and offered him an opportunity to earn some credits. They needed some one to supply Hal Horn and Leia if he can convince her to take up her training. Last time she never did and it hurt her. He made arrangement to have the Falcon follow them to the location needed to deliver the supplies.

Later that night Kenobi, Luke, Mara and Corran where waiting for Bail Organa and Leia in a privet conference room. They were waiting to inform her of her heritage. They were sitting there for 10 minutes when Bail lead his adoptive daughter in the room. When Bail sat down he addressed Kenobi. "Master Kenobi I assume this meeting is to talk to Leia about her parentage." "We are going to tell her some things that she needs to know. Some things will wait." Leia looked at the 4 Jedi Masters with some concern. "Master Kenobi, what is this about and why will I not be told everything?" "Princess, because of your family is you have an opportunity to train to be a Jedi." "How could I and what do you mean my family?" Luke decided it was best coming from him. "There are two members of you biological family that are or were at one time Jedi. You, yourself have the ability. Your father was a Jedi and hero of the Clone Wars. You have a twin brother that is a Jedi Master." Leia was sitting there stunned. "Who are they?" Luke looked at her "I am your twin. We were separated at birth to hide us from the Emperor. He knew that if our father had any children he would be a threat to him." Leia looked at Luke before getting up and hugged him. Bail decided to speak "Leia, Breha and I could not have children and wanted a daughter. I owed it to your mother who was a friend of mine to take one of you. Like you she served in the Galatic Senate. Before that she was Queen of the planet Naboo. She was one of the strongest woman I knew and it was a sad day when she died." "What was her name." "Padme Amidala Naberrie" replied Ben. "I met her on Naboo when she was Queen, she was pretending to be one of her hand maidens when we meet." "I have so many questions that I have wanted answers for so long but was never allowed to ask." Bail took his daughters hands in his "Leia we wanted to be able to tell you but to do so would have put you in jeopardy. We will talk later and tell you what you want to know but right now you need to make a decision about your future."

Luke spoke up "We have talked and it would be in your best interest to start your training. With the force as your ally you will be better prepared to defend yourself and others. It could also help you when you are calm direct your action." "Would you be the one to teach me?" "No, you will be taken to a secret location where you would receive your training. Though you will not be able to finish your training before needing to return to the Alliance. When that time comes Kenobi will take up your training." "Why not you?" "I will be working towards bringing Vader and his Emperor to justice." "Do I have to decide now?" "No,though we will be taking supplies to the location in a couple days. You need to decide by then. If you go you will not be the only student."

A couple days later Leia boarded the Falcon with Kenobi to leave to start her training. She had talked with her father about it and he encouraged her to take the opportunity. When they landed she was having second thoughts but stuck it out. Yoda also had a reunion with Chewbacca which surprised everyone but Luke. Chewie had told him about knowing Yoda after finding out who Luke's Master was in the previous time line. Corran had also talked with his father to see how he was doing.

When they returned to Yavin IV Luke and the other Masters plus Mirax left with Mon Mothma to join the fleet and meet with Admiral Ackbar and other military commanders. This also gave General Cracken a chance to go over all the data Mara brought with her. They also brought R2-D2 and C3PO along. R2 would work with Little Trouble and Corran's R2 unit Whisler while C3PO would help General Cracken with the data he needed to go through.

They had been on Home One for a month when Mara had been getting sick. Luke finally talked her in to going to the sick bay. When she came back to the quarters she was sharing with Luke she had a smile on her face. "Luke I'm pregnant and with twins."
