These are notes between Luke Skywalker and Bail Organa. (Yes, I do realize that Bail is supposed to be dead at this point in the story, but I altered the events so that Alderaan does NOT get blown up, so Bail is still alive.) Note 1
To Leia’s father Bail,

Hello, I’m one of your daughter’s friends. I was one of the people she was with when she introduced you to us. I’m Luke Skywalker, and the other guy I was with is Han Solo. So, did the droids info. Provide any weaknesses? Well I better get going.

Luke Skywalker

Note 2
Luke,

It's nice to be writing to you. I've been hearing a lot about you lately.

Yes, the plans have a weakness, a large one. We'll be having a meeting soon to talk about it, so I must be going.


Bail.

Note 3
Bail,

Really? You’ve been hearing a lot about me lately? From whom? Leia? I hope it’s good things that you’ve been hearing about me. What have you heard? I’ll tell you if it’s true or not.

I was glad to learn about the weaknesses in the Death Star plan. I will be one of the pilots in the battle. It’ll be my first time I’ll have flown…except for this little test run I went on.

I believe that the attack plan which you presented is a good one. I believe it’s possible, contrary to some people’s beliefs. See my friends and I used to go race landspeeders and we used to bull-eye wamp rats, which aren’t much bigger than 2 meters.

I guess I’ll talk to you later. I have to go try and fix something before the battle.


Luke

Note 4
Luke,

I've heard mostly from Leia about your meeting her, and your adventure here. All the stories are the some, so I don't think they're a lie.

Thank you, I'm glad someone thinks the plan is doable. I just hope it works.

Well, I hope you do well in this battle; your best will be needed.

I must go.


Bail

Note 5
Bail,

I’m glad that you have heard only the truth about me. I hate it when people lie about me.

I’m having a little problem right now…Vader’s tight on me and we only have a minute left. We’ve done all right…but one of the pilots (Wedge Antilles) had a bad malfunction on his ship and he had to pull out. I hope he’s all right. There’s just me and my best friend Biggs Darklighter left. I hope we can pull this thing off.

How would you feel if Leia were to date me? Would it be okay by you, since you are her father?

Well I hope everyone’s holding up okay back at the base.


Luke

Note 6
Luke,

Yes, I've been keeping up with the battle so far, and know that Wedge pulled out. I sure hope you and Biggs can complete this battle in our favor, or the plan goes out the window. Don't worry, if this doesn't work, then we're not going to blame you or Biggs because of it, all right?

I would like to get to know you a little bit better, before allowing you to date Leia. I've only known you for a few hours, so I hope you don't mind.

Everyone at base is holding up, just waiting patiently for you to return and the Death Star to blow up. We're fine here, you just worry about yourselves if you must worry about something.


Bail

Note 7
First Luke and Bail Note written since AOTC came out


Bail,

So you probably know that I was the one that destroyed the Death Star if you have been keeping up with the battle. Sigh….all right….I hate it that so many people know that I was the one that destroyed it. It makes me want to hide.

Well the Death Star was destroyed…….and I believe that any pilot could have done that. I just happened to get lucky and was there at the right time and place.

All right, that’s fine if you want to get to know me better before you allow me to date Leia. I don’t mind. So now that you have met me in person, what do you think?

I guess I did all right.

Is there going to be an awards ceremony? I hope not….I…I don’t like that kind of thing. I hate being singled out…and…..I don’t know.

Do you know where the new Rebel Base will be?

Oh just for the fun of it, I found out that Darth Vader’s name was Nigel Reklaw. Don’t you think that’s funny?



Luke

Note 8
Luke,

Sorry, everyone by now most likely already know that you're the person that destroyed the Death Star. There was nothing I could do to stop the word from spreading so fast, sorry about that.

Also, Leia talked me into it and a young man like yourself needs an award for destroying the Death Star, so there will be an award ceremony and you're not going to hide forever, you have to grow out of that, son.

Since, I've met you in person and we've been talking in these letters, I think you're a nice enough man that Leia is safe with, so I don't mind you asking her on a date. Just remember if you do anything, I'll kill you (or kick you out of the Rebellion).

The next base is going to be on Hoth, which (if you don't know already) is a snow planet, so you better be prepared.

Ha! Vader's name is Nigel Reklaw!! I would never have guess!


Bail

Note 9
Bail,

I realize that by now everyone most likely already knows that I was the person that blew up the Death Star. I was just hoping that I could somehow slow the spread of the news down or something. I know there was nothing that you could do to stop the news from spreading so quickly. That’s all right…I just have to make it through about a month and then hopefully people will stop making such a big deal about it and I can go back to my peaceful life. I wish people would just stop acting like what I did was wonderful. I mean yeah, it was great that I destroyed the Death Star, but I wish they would stop giving me all the credit. Other people played great roles in the battle too…and it could have been anyone that destroyed the Death Star.

I don’t know why you feel it is so necessary…and why you feel that I “need” an award. Thank you for the medal, though. It looks really nice, and I am truly honored to have received it. I just wish that other people could have been recognized as well and that everyone didn’t give me all the credit. I know I can’t hide forever…but it just makes me feel so weird to be singled out. I don’t like taking credit for stuff. I suppose you’re right…and I need to “grow out of that,” but I just…I don’t know…I just don’t like that kind of attention. I’m not one for big crowds or things like that.

All right, thanks for your permission. I’ll ask Leia out on a date or something…hopefully soon. And you can trust me…I mean I know it might be hard to take my word for it, so you can ask my uncle if you wish…but I am trustworthy and honest. I also have morals, and I am a Christian and try to live with Christ at the center of my life. Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt Leia, and I am against sex before marriage. I don’t know how Leia feels about it, but I WILL NOT have sex before marriage.

How do you think our move to Hoth went?

Yes…Hoth is COLD. Han and I just went out in it to check for life forms. I didn’t find anything, and I don’t think that Han did either. Just near the end of my shift, I saw something fall out of the sky. I think it might be a meteorite or something…but it might not be. It might be an Imperial Probe Droid or something…there is that possibility…so I’m going to go check it out just to be on the safe side. I suppose I’m a little paranoid. I keep having these dreams about Vader chasing me and wanting me dead…so it could just be me. At any rate, I’m going to check the situation out, and then I’ll head back to the base. This shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. The only thing is my Tauntaun has been acting strangely…

Yeah, I would have never guessed that Nigel Reklaw was Darth Vader’s real name either (and he was making fun of the name Andrew Smith. When I wrote him I lied and told him my name was Andrew Smith.)
