Note 1
Han,

So, are you all registered now? I hope so. Well I just met you, so I don’t know much about you. Would you mind telling me a little about yourself? What do you think of my father?

Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 2
Princess Leia,

So, you're talking to me now? I thought after the rescue you wouldn't want to talk to me.

Anyway, no I didn't register, because I'm not staying. I have work to do on Tatooine, so I'm leaving soon.

Tell you about myself? Ok, what do you want to know?

Your father is a okay guy, I guess. I don't really know him.

I STILL can't believe you called Chewie a 'walking carpet'. He would have killed you for that, if I wasn't there.

Anyway, I have to go.


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3
Han,

Of course I’m talking to you. Why wouldn’t I want to talk to you? Yes, you’re a selfish, stuck-up, person, but you ARE good leader. You’re a natural leader. You’re a good pilot. Han, we need you.

Of course, you have to follow your own path, but we do need you.

What kind of job do you have? Where are you from? What are your interests or goals in life?

Well…..Chewie is hairy and you were getting on my nerves. He could have killed me for my comment? What kind of creature do you have running around? Maybe I should call security.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 4
Leia,

Go ahead, call security, Chewie will fight them all off. He may be hairy and gets on your nerves, but his MY friend, got that, pretty lady?

You don't need me, your 'Rebellion' has been able to get this far, why should I help? Sorry, but I'm leaving.

Thanks for your comments, but I can't answer your questions, because one, I'm not sticking around along enough to get blew to pieces by the Death Star, and two, I have to get Chewie before he kills some stupid droid.


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 5
Han,

I hope you know that I called security. Chewie needs to be shot before he kills anyone. Let me know what happens. He may be your friend, but if he kills people like that, he needs to be killed. We can’t have something like that running around the Rebellion.

How can something like him be your friend anyway? He just growls. Does he shed a lot?

This is the biggest battle the Rebellion has ever had and we’re losing pilots fast. Luke could die, but you probably don’t care. Luke’s the only one left and is the only hope for the Rebellion, but there are 3 TIE pilots after him….so he might get killed and it will be your fault because you were too self-centered to help.

If you would only help, maybe the Death Star WOULDN’T destroy Yavin.

See, I told you! Chewie needs to be shot. He’s too violent, and he does not fit in here.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 6
Leia,

I hope you saw the security run away just a minute ago. Chewie may be a Wookiee, but he's my BEST friend, and you're not going to kill him. He won't hurt anyone unless they try to hurt him or his friends first, ok, Little Missy?

I couldn't help in the battle, even if I wanted to, because NOW it's too late, so you're going to have to see when/if Luke makes it. I'll be leaving in a minute, I'm just waiting to see which (Yavin or the Death Star) gets destroyed first, than I'm gone, and you don't have to worry about me NOT fighting. I have a life and I would like to keep it, thank you very much.


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 7
Han,

I can’t believe it!! You actually stepped in and saved Luke’s life! I knew there was more to you than money! Thanks so much for helping him and us…..the Rebellion. Without you, Luke might have died and Yavin might have been blown up.

I am sorry for insulting Chewie….but you did make it sound as if he were a wild animal that was dangerous.

I’m so glad you came back to help Luke. Please stay Han….at least for a little while. You’re a Rebel hero now. I’m going to try and get my dad to set up an awards ceremony in which I would like to honor both you and Luke….and Chewie. Does that sound good?

Also, we’re going to move our base to somewhere else because of the Empire….we don’t want them capturing us now that they know where we are.

Please consider staying for a little while.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 8
Leia,

Ok, OK, I'll 'consider' staying, but I HAVE get back to Tatooine to finish my work.

Yeah, I saw that Luke was going to get killed with those TIE fighters behind him, so I HAD to step in. I may not be the nicest person in the galaxy, but if I can save someone's life (if he is my friend), and not get killed in the process, then I'll do it.

Chewie CAN be dangerous at times, but that's ONLY whenever he's truly annoyed (which takes a LOT of work), losing a chess game, OR his friend or himself are in danger. That's the only times, so don't worry about him hunting someone to kill, because he not like that.

Well, I have to go.

Han

Note 9
First Han and Leia Note written after AOTC came out


Han,

What did you think of Luke’s Vader Bashing Party? I thought it was lots of fun. I wonder what Luke meant when he said he couldn’t blow up balloons…oh well he had fun making the Vader targets anyway, and I can’t believe that Mon Mothma came. She doesn’t seem like the type of person that would go to something like that…especially after Luke ruined her dress.

I’m so glad that you moved to Hoth with us, but I overheard you talking to my father. You said you wanted to leave? Han!!! Why didn’t you at least tell me that first? And besides that…we need you like I said before. You’re working on your ship again, aren’t you, AND you turned off your comlink. I know because I’ve been trying to contact you for some time…about not seeing Luke anywhere…but NO you just HAD to turn off your comlink.

By the way…didn’t you and Luke go out together to look for life forms? I haven’t seen Luke around. Where is he? No one has seen him. I really do hope you know where he is. I’m really worried about him…and I have a horrible feeling that something bad happened to him. Please tell me I’m wrong and that he’s here and well.

Well I’m very glad that you were looking out for Luke. I’m sure he appreciates it too (if only I knew where he was). I was hoping to talk to him, but I can’t find him anywhere.

Okay, thanks for reassuring me about Chewie.

What happened outside anyway…..I mean with your expedition. Did you see anyone or any life forms at all?

What do you think of the new base?


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 10
Your Worship,

That party was good, if i might say so myself. Don't worry about Luke, he's from Tatooine so I'm not surprised. I was surprised when Mon Mothma came, I dont think Luke will get off lightly for the dress...I think the kid will get demoted to Captain. Serves him right really. He should have seen her coming

You overheard our conversation?!?!?! Leia! And here I thought princesses were taught to be polite!!! I didnt tell you because I knew you would go off like this, its not like I have a choice, Jabba's got his ugly slaves after me.

Yes I'm working on the Falcon again, and yes I have my comlink off.

Luke? Luke hasn't come back yet? Oh man, I knew he should have asked for help in taming that tauntaun of his. Yeah we went out a while ago to scan the area. I'm sure he's fine, he must have come back and gotten lost in the base, knowing that kid.

He's a good kid, fun to have around. All that Force stuff is freaky though...why DOES he still do that stuff the old fossil taught him? Its a pile of rubbish!

Chewie said he likes you. So I think you're now off the "rip arms off" list. Considering he's a Wookiee, I'd say thats good. Nice to know that you dont hate him now. He was kinda upset at that.

There wasnt any life forms, but Luke saw some meteorites hit, and went to check them out. I guess thats why he's probably late.

The base is a bit shabby, but then again, we havent much to work with. I think Chewie likes it, probably because hes been shutting Goldenrod in the non heated areas to see if the bucket of bolts freezes. Hehe


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 11
Han,

I would appreciate it if you would please stop calling me “Your Worship.” My name is Leia. Would you mind calling me that?

Why should being from Tatooine make any difference for Luke?

I’m glad you liked the party. It was Luke’s idea. He’s annoyed with Darth Vader for everything that the guy’s done to Luke. (He killed Luke’s parents, he killed all the Jedi, he kidnapped Luke’s uncle and grandfather, he tried killing me, he tried killing Obi-Wan, and he killed Luke’s best friend.) I think that was Luke’s way of relieving stress.

Actually, Mon Mothma doesn’t seem that bad. She’s been really nice to me, and my father encourages us to talk to each other. Luke said he’s been writing to Mon Mothma, and that she’s been forgiving towards him. Yes, he should have seen her coming, but none of us saw her coming. It could easily have been any of us. LOL, you’re jealous of Luke, aren’t you?

Yes, I overheard you conversation. If you had any intent on having a private conversation, you should have gone into a conference room and asked to speak with my father alone. You said it right in the middle of a room occupied with several people, and you said it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear you. What do you expect? Do you expect me to ignore a conversation like that? You know what I think? I think you WANTED me to hear it.

You KNEW what my reaction would be…that’s why you decided to mention it when I was around. You could have easily mentioned it any other time during the day…but instead you waited. Why are you so worried about Jabba? Why didn’t you pay him off right away?

Why don’t you turn your comlink back on? Maybe someone important wants to talk to you. Luke’s in danger…he has to be. You know Luke better than to think he’d get lost in the base! It’s not like him to hide from everyone…from me and you. Don’t you think if he were back we’d see him around? That SOMEONE would see him around. And his Tauntaun didn’t need taming. It was fine…all our Tauntauns are fine. SOMETHING happened to him, and I’m worried. I can’t sleep, and I just have this terrible feeling that he’s in trouble. How can you assume that he’s fine when no one has seen him? He hasn’t checked in at either point, and you know it’s not like him to ignore checking in.

Luke is my friend, and I want to know he’s all right. If you’re not concerned, you’re not a real friend. The Force stuff is a little freaky, but it’s because we don’t understand it. We shouldn’t judge something we don’t understand. He told me his father was a Jedi Knight, but he never knew his parents. They died when he was a baby, and his aunt and uncle adopted him. I think he does the Force stuff because it makes him feel like he’s making his father proud. It’s the only connection he has to his father, and Obi-Wan cares very much for him. Luke has the ability to use the Force, and it obviously helps him. It helped him in the Death Star battle. I also don’t think you should call Obi-Wan an old fossil. My father has a high opinion of him, and he seems to be fine. Luke looks up to him as a father-like figure. If using the Force works for Luke, it can’t be rubbish, can it? What makes you call it rubbish?

I’m glad that Chewie likes me now. You can tell him that I like him too, and that I don’t consider him a Walking Carpet any more. Tell him that I’m sorry for saying that.

Han, use common sense. It doesn’t take several HOURS to check out a meteorite. Besides that, it’s getting cold out. Aren’t you a LITTLE worried about Luke? So there weren’t any life forms? Well that’s a relief at least…

Han, did I ever tell you that you are cruel? C-3PO is part of our team, even if he is a little annoying at times. How can you and Chewie be so cruel to a droid? Shutting him in a non-heated room to see if he freezes? That’s not right. Even though he isn’t human, he does seem to act like he is human. I think he deserves better treatment than that.

I wish something could be done about Luke! I want to go out looking for him, but I can’t. I’m needed in another area of the Rebellion right now. You don’t have any obligations, but then you’re too selfish to care about what happens to another person. I’m not surprised that you’re not doing anything about Luke.



Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 12
Leia,

I'm sorry I call you Your Worship, but I guess a guy like me finds it hard to be all frank and honest with such....esteemed company. I'll try to call you Leia from now on. :)

As for the Tatooine issue, its said that moisture farmers never seem to have a great deal of common sense. Luke is kinda different though. I think the Alliance has taught him a lot.

He has a right to be annoyed at Vader, i know I would. Poor kid, hes had it pretty rough. Someday, if this war is over, maybe he'll find some happiness.

I dont really know Mon Mothma that much. She scares me a bit...oh no did I SAY that?? I'm glad shes forgiven Luke. And no im not jealous of him. Why, should i be??

Im sorry that u heard my conversation, but i didnt think there was a need to go into another room. i assumed most people wouldnt listen in.

And no i didnt know what your reaction would be. Youre too uptight, never letting on what youre feelin'. Jabba's horrible. And the reason why i didnt pay him was because i got robbed before we went to Ord Mantell.

My comlinks out of power. And Luke's STILL not back yet?? Ok thats it. I'll go out and get the kid. And those tauntauns ARENT tame, mine decided to kick me in the gut this morning. Ouch.

Hmmm...I guess whatever this Force stuff is, might be important to Vader...I heard he used to be one of those Jedi people. Freaky. I'm just not sure about it. I mean, all i trust is a good blaster at my side to keep me alive. Im not pinning hopes on some mystical force.

I told Chewie. He's happy.

About that meteorite...Hoth doesnt have much of that, the asteroid belt isnt that close to have that amount of activity...im suspicious...

You're right about Luke. I think somethings up now. Have they scanned for his lifeform near the base??

And about Threepio...awww come on! It was only a bit of fun! Besides...i said sorry afterwards...

And im not too selfish, im going to go get a tauntaun that doesnt kick, and go after him. Ok?


Han.

Note 13
Han,

Thank you. I appreciate being called Leia much better. Esteemed company? Oh Han…I’m just a member of the rebellion. Please don’t think of me as being royalty. I didn’t even know Bail was my father until just recently.

You better take that back! I think Luke has a lot of common sense, and I think he’s had it long before he joined the Alliance, thank you very much. He’s the once that rescued me from the planet Anuvuin.

Yeah, well Luke has had a lot to deal with in his life, I think. I don’t think you know him very well. I think he has a lot of happiness right now. He seems to enjoy our company, and I think he enjoys working for the Rebellion.

Oh I don’t know…you just acted like you might have been a little jealous of Luke. That’s all. Mon Mothma scares you? She is a very good friend of my fathers, and I have had some good conversations with her. She seems to like Luke a lot, even though he bumped into her.

Well you were talking loudly enough for me to hear you. I’m sure other people heard you as well. And it wasn’t like I was TRYING to listen in. You don’t think I let on to my feelings? Well maybe you haven’t taken the time to really try to get to know me. How can a guy like you get robbed? I think that was just an excuse.

I’m sorry you got kicked in the gut, but maybe that Tauntaun gave you what you deserved. I’m very glad that you went out to look for Luke. How did you find him? I heard that you were back.

I also heard that he’s very sick right now and almost froze to death. He has gotten some cuts on his face, and I heard he came down with pneumonia. Is that true? That can’t be good for his asthma. He told me he had it. Is he all right? I want to see him. Do you think we could all go together in a big group? I think he would like that.

Yeah, I heard Vader used the Force too. VADER used to be a Jedi? Really? I’ll have to go tell Luke that. Well if Vader uses the Force, it seems to work for him. I suppose we all have different abilities, and Luke and Vader must have this Force ability. It is kind of weird though.

What does Chewie act like when he’s happy?

I can’t believe you and Chewie went outside to see about that probe droid. I have a feeling that was Luke’s meteorite. Too bad Luke couldn’t destroy it when it first landed.

Luke told me that he was attacked by a Wampa Ice Creature. How did he get away?

You know something, my birthday is coming up, and Wedge has the same birthday as me. The word kind of got around, and Mon Mothma has offered to take us out of ice cream and cake. Wedge and I have happily agreed to it.

On a more serious note, I heard that some Imperials have come out of hyperspace close to our system. We detected them and have put up a shield. This cannot be good; I have a feeling a battle will soon follow.

Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 14
Leia,

U didnt know Bail was your father until recently?? Wow, I didnt know that. Strange things keep happenin around us lot.

I didnt know Luke was the one who got u out of that scrap...i think i'd better take it back now...I'm glad hes happy in the Rebellion. He deserves some good stuff.

And as for "how a guy like me could get robbed", there was a load of them and they all had blasters. Simple.

It took me a while to find Luke, he looked pretty bad when I got to him. Then things got worse and the tauntaun died, so i had to cut it open and stuff Luke in there to keep him warm until i got the shelter built. I was pretty worried there for a while until Zev Senesca picked us up.

I think he'll be ok...a few hours in the bacta tank should help sort him out. He has asthma? I didnt know that....

I have a feeling that Luke already knows Vader was a Jedi...I think Obi Wan told him

Chewie dances around a lot when he is happy. Its kinda scary.

That probe droid disturbs me. I have a feeling someone knows we're here...

Luke said something about the Force...I'm not sure how he got away, specifically.

You and Wedge share the same birthday? Thats great! I'm sure the Rogues and the other groups will want to celebrate as well...maybe thats not a good thing though...lol

Imps in the system? Oh dear...i think i know where that droid came from!


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 15
Han,

Right. I didn’t know that Bail was my father until recently. Remember, the Maurders kidnapped me just after I was born and took me to Earth, and I didn’t get back here until recently. That’s when I found out he was my father, and that I was really from this world.

Thank you for taking back what you said about Luke. He is my best friend, so you better not say anything about him.

You seem to be good at scaring stormtroopers with just your blaster. Remember how they ran from you on the Death Star?

You put Luke inside a dead Tauntaun? Does he know that? Well, I guess if it kept him alive, good job. I’m so glad you were able to keep him alive! You are a good friend to him. I didn’t think you would actually do something like that for another person, but I’m glad you proved me wrong. Why don’t you take unselfish acts more often?

I wonder how he liked being in the bacta tank. Did you here the medical people say he almost died? At any rate, I think he’s doing a lot better, thanks to you. And apparently he was feeling well enough to fight in the battle, so that’s a positive thing. I think he’s over the pneumonia now.

Thanks for coming with me to see him. He looked like he was feeling a lot better when we saw him. And I can’t believe you brought up that South passage reference right in front of him! What were you thinking? Are you so conceited that you…never mind. How did you like the kiss I gave Luke?

Yes, Luke has asthma. I don’t think it bothers him THAT often, and I don’t think it’s even that noticeable to most people. He told me he only gets it when he’s around stuff he’s allergic to (which he said isn’t very much) or sometimes when he exercises, or sometimes if something happens to irritate it. He said he’s fine most of the time, though…but that when he does have it, he has it REALLY bad.

I’m not sure whether Luke knows Vader was once a Jedi or not. I don’t know what Obi-Wan has told him so far. I think I’ll tell him that anyway.

Chewie dances around when he’s happy? Really? I’d like to see that sometime.

Luke said something about the Force helping him escape? I suppose that makes sense. He is learning about it, and he seems to be good at that kind of stuff. Personally I don’t understand it, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t real.

Well today is Wedge and my birthday…so Mon Mothma just took us out before the battle. She knows her ice cream shops! Oh, Han…you haven’t told anyone else that it was our birthday, have you?

I hope Luke is doing well in the Hoth battle. I hope it wasn’t too soon after he was so sick…but it was his decision. I think he knows his body best.

And I can’t believe you’re taking me on the Millennium Falcon. What happened to paying Jabba the Hutt? If you hadn’t insisted on escorting me to my transport, I probably would have made it, but that ice from the ceiling nearly fell on me…

I appreciate your ride, but I hope you don’t get us killed. Why in the world did you decide to go into this asteroid field anyway? It’s dangerous. And then we got stuck inside that monster’s throat. I’m glad we got out of there in time.

So what gave you the idea to attach to this Star Destroyer? I sure hope you know what you’re doing. What’s your plan…obviously we can’t go far without a working hyperdrive.

And why couldn’t you have fixed the hyperdrive long ago when it was damaged?


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 16
Leia,

Wow...you sure get yourself into these situations dont ya? Lifes interesting like that I guess.

I won't say anymore about Luke...im too scared of what you'll do if I do :p

Hehe i do amaze myself when I go near stormies i guess...maybe its my dashing looks. What do you think?

Its good to see that Luke's getting better.

Vader's too mysterious for my liking.

Happy birthday by the way. Have you received your present from me? I had it sent over, it should be there by now. I ordered it from Smuggler's Weekly. Hehe Mon Mothma, knowing her ice creams? Why, she amazes me with every new thing she does!

You have to get to the rendevous safely. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if you got hurt or captured and there was a chance for me to get you out. Jabba can wait.

I used to be an Imp officer, and I know their procedures. They'll dump their garbage before going to lightspeed. A few minutes ago they started to break fleet position so they're going off elsewhere. Obviously Vader thinks we're far away now. All we have to do is detach when the garbage is dumped, wait for them to go to lightspeed then find a close base to land and get repairs.

And the hyperdrive thing got kinda put off every time we were going to fix it.

Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 17
Han,

Before I begin answering your letter, there are some things I need to tell you. I need to tell you how I feel about you. You deserve to know after all…so here I go:

The thing is…I am in love with you. It took me a long time to figure it out, but I have had mixed emotions about both of you and Luke. I don’t know, why or how, but I am in love with you. I have a feeling for you like I know I’m supposed to marry him, and I don’t have that feeling for Luke. You touch me in a special way, and you are kind, even with all your roughness. I cannot help my feelings. You’re a special person to me, and you will always be. I just thought I should be honest with you. I know I always hated it when I had a crush on someone and I thought they liked me back, but really they liked someone else, and they had already started a relationship without telling me. You have a right to know how I feel about you. Even if you don’t return my feelings, I wanted you to know.

Now to answer the rest of your letter. Good. You better not say anything more about Luke. Remember he is my best friend, and I expect you to respect him.

Don’t delude yourself. Yes, I just expressed my feelings for you, but I’m sure the stormtroopers don’t think you have dashing looks.

Did you know Luke was going off to some planet called Dagobah to be trained as a Jedi Knight?

I agree with you, Vader IS mysterious, not to mention exceptionally cruel.

Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday. Did you wish Wedge a happy birthday too? You sent me a present? I haven’t gotten it yet. Maybe it would be better if you would deliver it in person, especially since our mail system is a little messed up after the Imperials destroyed our base. You ordered something from Smuggler’s Weekly? Really? Great…I can’t wait to see what you got me. I’m sure it was very thoughtful of you, Han. Yes, Mon Mothma is an amazing person, and she is quickly becoming a friend of mine too. She’s a good friend of my father’s, and I can see why. Have you ever had a nice long conversation with her?

Well, seeing how we were caught in that asteroid field, and you were doing crazy things…it’s a wonder our ship didn’t fall into a billion pieces. I’m impressed that you think of me above Jabba.

Just how long ago where you an Imperial Officer? What happened? I mean, what took you out of the Imperial Navy? You do impress me. You do have your moments sometimes, not many, but you do have them. I do not think the Imperials detected our ship. That was a wonderful idea to float away with the garbage. So, this Lando Calrissian fellow that we’re seeing…you think you can trust him?

I don’t know…I had a bad feeling when we landed here. (Bespin.) There was no one out to great us until several minutes after we had landed. I don’t like this. And it seems too quiet here. Something’s not right. I think we should leave as soon as we can. I don’t trust Lando. And then C-3PO was in pieces. I hope Chewie can repair him.

And speaking of Lando, here he comes now. He’s just invited us to the banquet, in our honor. What do you say we should do? Should we accept? Do you think he’d be offended if we refused? The banquet might put an ease to my feelings, and might help us relax. I’m all for it.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 18
Leia,

Wow. WOW! YAY! She loves me!

I wont say anything to Luke.

Hehe but the stormtroopers are weird so maybe some of them do think I'm dashing lol

Luke said he was going off somewhere but I didnt know where to.

Yes I wished Wedge a happy birthday. You havent got your present yet? Damn. Hang on, the delivery guy just commed. It seems he couldnt find you. He'll give the present to me and Ill give it to you personally.

Of course I think of u above Jabba, Jabbas a slug and you're...you.

I was an officer just over 7 years ago. I got kicked out when I saved Chewies life. He was a slave working for the Empire and I whacked the officer in charge when he tried to kill Chewie.

Lando is kinda shady but he hates the Empire. Everythings gonna be great. Trust me.

Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 19
Han,

Lando betrayed us to Vader! What kind of a friend is he? I thought he was your friend! I knew we shouldn’t have trusted him…

Why are they doing this? They don’t even ask us questions when they torture us. I have a few cuts, bruises, and burns, but I’m not too bad. What about you? I hope they’re not hurting you too much. Vader seems to enjoy hurting me more…I guess he thinks I feel plain more than you do.

And yes, Han, I love you so deeply. You have no idea…It’s hard not being with you all the time.

And Luke seems to be okay with our relationship. He said he didn’t have feelings for me. I’m not sure if he was telling the truth, but at least he seems to be handling it well.

I don’t think the stormtroopers are homosexuals, although they are weird. I heard they were all clones, and their genetic structure was altered so they would take any order without question, making them very stupid and obedient.

Luke told me that he is training to become a Jedi Knight. I don’t understand the whole Jedi thing, but if Luke wants to do that, that’s okay with me. He said he went to some planet called Dagobah.

Thank you for the present. It was so thoughtful of you, Han! You know you didn’t have to do that, right. In a way, the present was more special because you DID deliver it in person. :)

What you did for Chewie was pretty brave. You have a big heat, Han…it’s just that sometimes you try to cover it up with your fake conceitedness.

Apparently Lando doesn’t hate the Empire enough to protect his friends from it! He betrayed us, Han.

When do you think Vader will kill us? It’s evident that that’s what he wants…

I have to go; I hear Lando’s voice calling for us. Why couldn’t he leave us alone? Doesn’t he understand that betraying us is enough? Why visit our cell?


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 20
Leia,

Its not my fault! I didn't think Lando would be so slimy to do such a thing!

I'm hurting. Vader shocked me with this weird device thing then whipped me. My butt hurts. What did he do to you?

I love you too. And right now I need a shower, cos that whip had mud on it.

Stormtroopers being modified clones...I heard about that too. I believe it as well cos they're all stupid.

That present...I'm glad you like it. I didn't know what to get you.

I'm going to kill Lando.


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 21
Han,

I think you need to get to know your friends better. I cannot believe that Lando would dare do such a thing to you.

Vader shocked you with a weird device thing and then whipped you? He…he…he’s so evil! I can’t stand that man. I hope he dies someday very soon. Maybe Luke will be able to kill him…but I’d rather Luke not come here.

What did Vader do to me? He made me walk on hot coals, rocks (rocks hurt my feet. I’m pretty sensitive to pain. I don’t know why that is, but I’ve always been like that), he threw me from a ledge really hard, and he whipped me too.

I wish Vader would have been on the Death Star when Luke blew it up instead of being in his own little TIE.

Han, they’re not going to give us a shower. They want us to suffer, and probably die. But you will be placed into carbonate. Oh Han, how can they do such a thing to you?

I don’t think all the Stromtroopers working for the Empire would have as much brains together as some primitive life form on some planet.

Lando might have done something terrible to us…but I don’t think you should kill him…at least not yet. I can’t believe he had the nerve to come into our room and say that he was “sorry, but he had his own problems.” At least he didn’t let his guards kill you when you went up to Lando and punched him. You certainly have a way with people.

At least we know why we’re being tortured now…because of Luke. Vader wants Luke dead. I guess he can’t stand having a Jedi in this galaxy. I hope Luke doesn’t fall for Vader’s trap. I can’t believe he used us as bait so that Luke would come here. I wish there was some way we could warn Luke right now.

I don’t like the chamber we’re in right now, and I can’t stand to see you about to put into carbon freeze. I love you!

Did you see what Vader did when Boba Fett was about to shoot Chewie when the stormtroopers first put you on the carbon freeze thing. Han, I don’t know what I’m going to do if you don’t survive this process. I feel so helpless. I want to kill everyone who is holding you down, but I can’t do that.

I hope you enjoyed that kiss that we had. Vader was watching us the entire time. He must have no heart, and he must never have been in love. Well how could he have been? No sane woman would ever love Vader…..and Vader would never fall in love anyway. He is pure evil.

Know that I love you, Han. I see they are about to lower you in.

With love,
Leia

Leia,

Don't worry about me. Chewie will take care of you (well, he'd better, I'll kill him if I get out of this and find out that he got you lost or something)

That punch felt good. That tramp Lando is going to pay for this one day.

Why does Vader want Luke so bad?? I think Luke had better get out of this mess fast.

Vader saved Chewie from Fett...i wonder why.

I love you too, and remember that. Whatever happens now, that will never change.

Vader's a lecherous old man. Watching us kiss...hah! He's jealous!


Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 23
Now we’re into ROTJ events, just after Leia freed Han of the carbonate.


Han,

Relax. You’re free of the carbonate now. I’m sure you might be having problems with your eyesight. Do not worry, though. It will return in time. You are in Jabba’s Palace, and I am someone that loves you. We have to get you out of here right now.

You’d be glad to know that Chewie took good care of me. It hasn’t been that long since you were frozen, and Luke got away from Vader’s trap safely. Lando, who had betrayed us, ended up helping the rest of us escape, and has now joined the Rebellion.

You know something else that Luke told me? He told me that during the fight, Darth Vader told Luke that he was his father. Can you believe that? And apparently it’s true. That must have been why Vader wanted him so bad. I don’t think he loves Luke, but I do think that he wants Luke for his power. Obi-Wan told me that the Force runs strong in Luke’s family, and it’s Luke’s power that the Emperor wants.

And Luke told me that Vader built 3PO. That must have been why Vader saved Chewie from Fett. (C-3PO was on Chewie’s back if you will remember.)

I could never forget that you love me. I hope that when this war is all over we can continue our relationship.


With Love,
Leia

Note 24
Leia,

Yay! I'm unfrozen! Too bad about the eyesight, and is it me or is is freezing cold here? What's Jabba said about me?

Good, Chewie took care of you. I knew he would. He takes the life debt thing very seriously.

Vader, Luke's father? No way! That can't be true, can it? Luke's father was Anakin Skywalker!

Landos a Rebel now? Hmph, I have some words for him when I see him.

Heh, Vader built Goldenrod? Haha! I wonder why he isn't in Vader's service now. Probably annoyed him to the point of insanity.

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 25
Han,

Oh Han…I’m sorry that we got caught. I suppose I was being careless because I missed you so much that I wasn’t as careful as I should have been when I freed you. Boba Fett must have realized that I was a female, and he must have told Jabba to watch for me freeing you.

I hope you and Chewie are having a good time in the cell…I’m sure it’s a better time than I’m having. Jabba has chained me to him like he has the slave girls chained…and I never want to be that close to a Hutt again! It’s disgusting! He has this green slim that drips…

I just hope Luke realizes that something happened to us, and comes here to rescue us. I warned him that we had powerful friends. Jabba just laughed at that.

What’s Jabba said about you? Well that you made a big mistake by not paying him, and that you are no good anymore, except for as bantha fodder, but don’t worry too much about that. He…he’s not even human…he’s a huge slug.

I’m sure Chewie is being very comforting to you. I have no one to comfort me…and do you know what Jabba did to me? He dressed me in this little gold skimpy outfit! I wouldn’t even classify it as real clothes. How low does Jabba have to stoop.

Yes…Vader is Luke’s father…and Luke has told me something else. Uh…well Luke said that I am his sister. I’m not sure how that is possible. I’ll let you know when I find out more information. I thought Luke and I were around the same age, but I recently had a birthday…so maybe we were born on opposite ends of the same year. I know that happens sometimes. And if I really am Luke’s sister, that means that Vader’s my father too! How could Bail and everyone have kept that from me? You said that Luke’s father was Anakin Skywalker? But how? That was the guy that Luke did a report on, and Luke told me that Anakin Skywalker was killed by Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan would have told him if Anakin Skywalker was his father! Luke told me his father’s name was Alex Skywalker. But now it’s Vader…and I guess Luke has some sort of proof. At least he’s convinced that he is our father, and that I am his sister. Earlier Darth Vader told Luke that his real name was Nigel Reklaw. I intend to find answers…soon!

Yes, Lando is a Rebel now. I’m sure you do have some words for him…but please try to forgive him. He helped with your rescue team, and is now disguised as a guard, and Lando DID get Luke, Chewie, and I safely off of Cloud City. He admitted that he had made a mistake. Please try to be understanding. I know he betrayed us…but people do make mistakes, you know. I am sure you have made more than one mistake in your life. Would you want people to hold your mistakes against you the rest of your life?

And apparently Vader did build C-3PO. Well…I can only guess that C-3PO must have been working for someone else at the time that Vader became evil. Luke tells me that Vader was once a good person.

I cannot wait to see you again. Let me know how you are doing.


Love,
Leia

Note 26
Leia,

It wasnt your fault we were caught. I think Jabba knew someone was going to free me and decided to lay a trap for us. Chewie and me are having a good time, he keeps deciding to play I Spy and obviously he is winning :(

Ugh...you're Jabbas slave? I wouldnt want that job. You're dressed in WHAT?? OMG I'll bet you're wanting to kill him right now.

This Vader business is confusing me. Someones going to have to explain it for about 5 hours until I can get my head around this whole issue. Luke said you're his sister? Now THAT is confusing...

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 27
Han,

I’m glad that Luke was able to come…but I admit I was scared when Jabba hit the floor switch, and Luke fell into Jabba’s Rancor pit. Oh, I forgot…you couldn’t see anything and you weren’t in the same room as me when it happened. Well, Luke used one of his Jedi mind tricks on that Bib Fortuna, and he led Luke to Jabba. Luke tried to get all of us back, but Jabba just laughed at him and hit the floor switch which caused Luke to fall into this pit where this Rancor pet of his lives. Before Luke had gotten there, everyone watched a dancing girl fall into the pit, and get eaten by that creature.

Anyway, I saw the creature go after Luke, but he saw a pile of bones laying on the ground. He grabbed a big one and let the creature pick him up. He threw the bone into the Rancor’s mouth at the last second. The Rancor then dropped him, and he ran under some rocks. The Rancor was MAD at Luke because of his trick, and he went after Luke and reached its claws into the spot where Luke was hiding. Luke picked up a rock and smashed its fingers with the rock. When he had the chance, Luke ran across the pit to where he saw a door. It looked like he was hoping to escape from it. Luke opened the door only to discover that there were bars, and he some of the people on the other side of the bars tried to push him away from the bars. The Rancor was quickly approaching him, when he saw another rock laying on the ground. He grabbed it and threw it at the door switch just when the Rancor was underneath it.

I guess the Rancor was Jabba’s favorite pet, and he was ANGRY at Luke for killing it. Jabba has just requested that you, Chewie, and Luke be brought to him at once. I suppose he is thinking of another way to kill you. Oh no…Jabba has just mentioned some Sarlacc pit thing. Luke told me that he has a plan. I don’t know…

Well….I’m glad that you and Chewie have had a good time…but you’re playing I Spy? How can you play when you can’t even see?

Yes…I’m Jabba’s slave now, but that won’t last long. As soon as I can, I’ll get away from him. I’ll FIND a way to get away from that slug! I’d love to kill Jabba…but how? I could use the chain to strangle him, maybe, but how could I find the strength to kill him? It would take a lot more strength than I have in my arms.

I can’t wait to get out of this skimpy outfit. Be glad you can’t see right now.

The Vader business is confusing to me too, but it’s true. I’ve asked Obi-Wan and Luke, and Bail, and…Mon Mothma…….. Darth Vader is my father, as well as Luke’s. I also found out that Luke and I are twins. Mon Mothma is our mother. I guess they separated us at birth because Luke was really sick after he was born, and everyone thought he would die. Not only that, but Bail had agreed to raise my mother’s child…she stayed with him while she was pregnant, and so Obi-Wan took me to him. I guess he thought it would be safer if Luke stayed with someone else.

Well let me know how you’re doing. Has your sight recovered any yet?

Remember that I love you, Han.


Love,
Leia

Note 28
Leia,

Luke did all that against the rancor? Ive heard of those things, and they aren't easy to get past. Seems the kid has gotten good at surviving in my absence, huh?

I think the rancor was some kind of gift to jabba, which is why he's so angry now. Oh well. I hate long waits so if he is to kill us now, it is better now than later.

Sarlacc?? Oh no...it had better not be what i think it is....

Chewie thought it was very funny to play I Spy because i always win when I can actually see, and so he wanted to make fun. I'll get him back for that later.

This Vader business is getting even more weird. you and Luke are TWINS?? wow! This is gonna take some time to get my head around.

Hope Jabba isnt annoying you too much

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 29
Dear Han,

Yes, Luke did all that against the rancor. I’m so glad he’s my brother…..I am so proud of him. Luke’s always been good at surviving, Han. How else would you explain being able to help rescue me, to survive the Death Star battle, and to escape a Wampa that attacked him, to escape safely from the Hoth battle, and whatever else he has done. You just have never given him credit for much.

How did you like the Sail Barge assault? I saw what Luke did with the plank…using it as a spring board and then igniting his lightsaber and killing the guards. You have no idea how pleased I was. As soon as I saw that he would live, I went after Jabba. I managed to knock out the power in the sail barge. I then somehow got the chain that connected me with Jabba so that it was wrapped around his neck. Then I pulled. I’m not sure how I was able to do it, Luke thinks I used the Force, and Jabba died. I certainly took more strength than a person of my size would normally have. I was barely even sweating.

What happened to you? I know you couldn’t really see that well, but is your vision coming back yet? Do you think you could tell me what happened in the battle after Luke escaped having to walk the plank?

I know that Luke was able to get to the sail barge, because after I had killed Jabba, I saw Luke. He told me to get on the gun and point it at the deck. I did as he said. We then swung over to the moving platform that you and the others were on. I’m sure you didn’t just stand there while everyone else was fighting. I’m curious about the details. :) Hey where is Boba Fett? I could have sworn that he went with us out to the Sarlacc.

So was the Sarlaccc what you thought it was? I thought I could hear a burp coming from that creature at some point in the battle. Was I imagining things?

I don’t know about Chewie…did he start the I Spy game? Because I don’t see how you could have done anything except have your object be Chewie, since you knew for sure what he looked like. You said you’ll get Chewie back for that later. How?

Yes, Luke and I are twins. I know how confusing it is. It took me a while to take all this information in too. Luke and I have the same birthday, but he didn’t mention that when I told him it was my birthday. He must have felt too weird about it. Of course that was before we knew we were related.

Do not worry. Jabba will no longer be annoying me or anyone else. That’s because he is now dead.

We’re now back at Luke’s house now…changing and everything. What do you think of his house? This is the second time I have been here. Luke’s aunt and uncle (now my aunt and uncle too), may not be very wealthy, but they have a comfortable home. At least I think so.

Luke said we would be leaving for the fleet in a few moments. I better get going.


With much love,
Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 30
Leia,

I'm sorry that i've never given Luke much credit. He is a lot more resourceful than I thought he was when i first met him.

You killed Jabba? YAY! Wow, sounds like you have the Force in you as well from what you said. I hope you don't decide to mind lift me into a corner for 5 hours if I annoy you.

After Luke used the plank, some goon from Jabba's gang went and blasted the skiff, and Lando went overboard. I nearly did too but Chewie grabbed hold of me. I think it helped my sight, cos the blood rushing to my head started to clear it. What i saw of it was Luke taking down the other skiff. Lando nearly got eaten by the Sarlacc, but i shot at it and Lando got away.

Chewie said that Boba Fett got chucked into the Sarlacc when he tried to kill us. I kinda smashed into him with a spear I was carrying, and he went overboard. I think that burp came from the Sarlacc eating him. YAY!

Yes the Sarlacc was what I thought it was. Its supposed to be a lot bigger than it seems on the outside.


Luke's house is cool. A lot better than Jabba's palace.


Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 31
Han,

It took you long enough to realize that Luke was more resourceful than you thought he was when you first met him.

Yes, I sure did kill Jabba. Luke told me that the Force is strong in our family, and that I have it just as much as he does. But you must remember that I am untrained and do not know how to lift things with the Force. Luke does, but I don’t know. I don’t think I even want to know. I have no interest on becoming a Jedi.

You have no idea how glad I am that Chewie saved you before you went overboard. Thank you for telling me what happened down there. You must have been so terrified to nearly go over the side.

Boba Fett fell into the Sarlacc? Really. Well….good riddance. I know that wasn’t very nice to say, but he really wasn’t a very nice guy. The burp from the Sarlacc came from him being eaten by it? Wow. I heard from someone…I believe it was Obi-Wan…it may even have been from Vader…that Boba Fett was a clone of some other Bounty Hunter, created for the Clone Wars. All the stormtroopers were also clones of the guy…I wonder what would happen if we would have been able to take off Boba Fett’s helmet and a stormtroopers. That must have been why they all keep their heads under helmets.

You’re right. Luke’s house is much better than Jabba’s palace.

I was very much relieved to learn that everyone has now safely made it back to the fleet. Mom went with Luke in his X-Wing. They must have been pretty cramped for space. I forgot to mention that my mother was there too…she came to help rescue you. You must have wondered who she was.

Well…Bail and my mother have now given a full account of what will happen in the Death Star battle. I cannot believe that Lando is the general of the fight against the Death Star. They mentioned a strike team going to take down the shield on Endor. I wonder who they found to pull that one off. It will be so risky for them! It is so good to be back here and see everyone again.

Well I have to go now.


Love,
Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 32
Leia,

You don't have an interest in training to be a Jedi? Why?

I heard that rumor about the stormtroopers being clones. Weird.

Um, regarding the strike team...oh never mind, they're about to announce it in a minute...

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 33
Han,

I cannot believe that you agreed to be the general for the strike team mission. Of course as soon as I heard that, I had to volunteer. I wasn’t about to have you go off there alone. I love you too much for that. Chewie and Luke and mother all agreed to go with us, although there is no room for my mother aboard the shuttle, so she agreed to go with the rest of the members of the strike team. I suppose she couldn’t let her two children go off on a dangerous mission alone, now that she has revealed her identity to us.

I think it’s weird that the stormtroopers could be clones too. I suppose that’s true, though.

Why do I have no interest in becoming a Jedi? Well…I admire Luke and everything that he can do with the Force…it’s just that I don’t think I could ever grasp the Force. I’m supposed to be as force sensitive as my brother is, but doing the kinds of things that Jedi Knights do just does not interest me. I would rather be useful in a different way, such as in politics. This galaxy certainly needs help in that area, and I would be glad to make it a better place. My mother promised me that she would teach me all that she knows about diplomacy.

Now, I know that you must be very worried about me right now. Let me assure you that I am fine. Okay…you’re probably confused, so let me relay the events that have happened since I last wrote you so that we are both clear on what I am talking about.

Well as soon as the meeting was over back at the fleet, Chewie, Luke, the droids, and I left for the Imperial shuttle. (Mom and the rest of the strike team managed to fit in the back of the shuttle.) I was only talking about the command crew for the shuttle.

We went to Endor with very little problem. We saw a couple of Imperial ships on the way, one of which Luke seemed to be convinced contained Darth Vader. I don’t know why he felt so confident about that, but maybe he was right. Either way, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous about it. The Empire processed our code, and apparently everything checked out fine because they gave us the clearance to proceed, which of course we did.

Once we landed on Endor, we noted the beatifulness of the place…the trees and green all over the place. Luke told me he’s not allergic to any trees or plants or anything like that, so he should be fine.

Anyway, as we were moving along, we came upon that small party of stormtroopers, who you said you would sneak up on real quietly. The only thing was that you happened to step on a twig. That was real good for being quiet, you know :) Anyway, I saw the stromtroopers jumping for their speederbikes, so I jumped on one…so that the stormtroopers could not warn other Imperials about our presence. The entire success of the battle depends on whether we can get that shield down, you know, and we can’t very well get the shield down if we’re captured.

Luke…I suppose he didn’t want to be separated from me…or he felt it was his duty to protect me, or something…anyway he jumped on the back of my speederbike, and we took off. I’m sure you didn’t like being left behind while we were out on the bikes, but we had little choice. There simply wasn’t a bike left for you. I hope you managed all right.

After I had been shooting at the speederbikes for a while, Luke had me get alongside one of the other bikes, and he knocked the stromtrooper off that bike and jumped on it himself. At that point we split up, each taking on different stormtroopers. I’m not sure what happened to him…but as for me, I came to an area in the forest where my path was completely blocked by trees. I was going to fast to dodge them, and one of the stormtroopers was shooting at me. One of his shots hit my speeder and I fell off and hit the ground. I looked up just in time to see the stormtrooper’s bike hit into that tree that had blocked our path, then I fainted.

The next thing I was aware of was a sharp object poking me. I woke up and saw a cute little teddy bear type thing with a weapon of some kind…I suppose he was checking to see if I were dead. I have concluded it was an Ewok. We heard about them in our briefing of our job. Well anyway, it seemed to be afraid of me, so I offered it some food. Then I took off my helmet to try to think where I might be. When I took it off, the little Ewok got scared again, and I showed him that it was just a hat, and would not harm him. He seemed to be a little weary of me still when suddenly a stormtroopers blaster bolt shot towards me. The little Ewok hid behind the log I was leaning against. Then a couple stormtroopers stepped out. One of them knocked my blaster out of my hand. The Ewok hit the stormtrooper’s leg with a stick, log, or his weapon. I really couldn’t tell which it was. Anyway, the stormtrooper said, “Hey.” And in that moment I grabbed the blaster and shot both stormtroopers dead. After that, I think the Ewok thought I was safe enough, but the problem was I was lost. I didn’t know which direction led back to you and the rest of the strike team. The Ewok led me to his village, and that is where I am now. I wish I could get to you, but the mission is more important. You can come back for me later.

I am inside one of the Ewok’s houses right now…the Ewoks seem to like me a lot. I wish I could understand their language. I have understood, though, that the Ewoks call their baby Ewoks “Woklings.” Isn’t that cute?

I hope that you and Luke and the others are safe. You must let me know what has happened with you.

You must forgive me, but I must go. The Ewoks seem to be having some great celebration outside because I can hear loud noises, as if they were having a party or something. One just came in and it seems to me as if they want me attend this party too. All the Ewoks seem anxious to go to this thing.


Love,
Leia

Leia,

I felt I had to give something back to the Alliance, cos they helped you in your rescue of me. And well, it feels kinda good to be a general. :)

I'm sure that you will do well in politics, because you would do well in anything you chose to do.

Hey it wasnt my fault that the twig was there when i was about to ambush that trooper. Too bad you and Luke took off before you saw me kicking his butt. Sometimes I still amaze myself ;)

You got knocked off the bike? Are u ok? Cos you might have gotten concussion without realising it. And...an Ewok helped you take that trooper out? Wow. I thought, well I hope this doesnt sound nasty but i thought they were too primitive to be able to fight.

Um Leia, you know this party thing?? I think we're about to be reunited honey.

See you in a minute if I'm right...

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 35
Dear Han,

You know, I think there’s more to you than you’re admitting. I was so glad that you finally registered with the Rebellion officially, although everyone’s considered you a part of the Rebellion since the first Death Star fight.

Thank you, Han. I hope to do what I can for the galaxy. Have you thought about what you’d like to do after we defeat the Empire? You can’t very well be a smuggler anymore.

I’m sure you do still amaze yourself…but we must remember that it isn’t hard to do. :) You really took that stormtrooper down? Good.

Yes, Han, I’m fine. I just worry about Luke. He’s gone off to fight Vader. He says he thinks he can turn him back to the Light Side, but I’m not so sure about that. We all know how evil he is. I hope he’ll be all right. Anyway, when I fell off the speeder bike I was wearing my helmet, and I am sure that I do not have a concussion. Thanks for your concern, though. That was really sweet of you.

Yes, an Ewok helped me take that stormtrooper out. I’ve since learned that his name is Wicket. Han…the Ewoks might not exactly live with high technology surrounding them, but they are friendly, and very cute. I think they might surprise you with what they could accomplish. I’m going to see if they will help us with the shield generator. They must know the way…and they may prove useful.

The party sure did reunite us. I must say that I did not expect to see you tied to sticks about to be roasted as the main course for the banquet. Whatever happened? That was very smart of Luke to use the Force on C-3PO to get him to let the people down. The Ewoks seemed to esteem C-3PO very much. I wonder why.

Luke has already left. I’m going to see if I could talk to the Ewoks now.


Love,
Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 36
Leia,

I know everyone thinks I've been a part of the Alliance since Yavin, I guess it took me a while to warm to the idea :)

I haven't thought of what I'll do. I might carry on as a general, put my old Imperial training into practice for the Alliance, as well as the old smugglers luck.

I hope Luke knows what he's doing. Trying to convince Vader to turn back seems a bit like suicide.

These Ewoks sure seem good at capturing people, so I'll put a little faith in them. They know the place better than us, so who knows? They might know some shortcuts.

Thank gods Luke got us out of that mess. Main course at a banquet, me? And in Goldenrods honor? If it hadn't been so potentially dangerous I would have laughed.

I'm going to see if the weapons and supplies have been sorted. Threepio said he was going to talk to them.

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 37
Han,

Yes, well you can’t very well escape your commitment to the Rebellion now, can you?

But if the war ends…if we kill the Emperor as planned, then why should we need a general? The Empire will have been destroyed for good. What could you do after that?

Yes, but Han, remember that Vader is a father to both Luke and me. Luke believes that Vader’s love for him will prevent him from killing Luke. Let us hope that he is correct.

Well, I don’t know what you thought of the Ewok who went into plain sight by the secret entrance to the control bunker, but he certainly led the other Imperials away from the door. He left only one, and that one was easily captured. I only hope that we can get the shield down by the time the fleet gets here. All we have to do is set these detonators. Han, I think we’d better hurry. The fleet will be here any moment. I thought I just heard some footsteps. I have a bad feeling about this…

Yes, I am very grateful to God that Luke was able to get you and Chewie and mom out of that mess, but now he has gone to confront our father. I worry about him. The idea of having a banquet in C-3PO’s honor WAS funny.

Since we have weapons and supplies, I assume that you were able to get C-3PO’s help in talking to the Ewoks? How did that talk go?


With Love,
Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 38
Leia,

I'm sure even if we do win this fight, there are Imperial strongholds around still to beat. Maybe I'll have a role in beating them.

That Ewok was crazy....but in a good way. He sure helped us out with those troops! I hear footsteps too...uh oh...looks like someone's been expecting us...

Hehe I'm sure Threepio is lapping up the glory of his new found god status. Rather ironic really.

We got talking to the Ewoks but Threepio was a little slow on the translation. That droid needs an upgrade, I think. :p

Love Han
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 39
Han,

There is a point that I feel that I must clarify from my last letter…because I think you might have taken a different way than I intended. When I said, “Thank God that you were able to escape,” I was not referring to C-3PO. I was actually referring to God.

Well…I think if we destroy the Emperor, the officers and people that worked for the Empire will not know what to do…and will actually be glad that the Empire was defeated. He oppressed a lot of people…and I’m sure some people just worked for money. How rewarding could it really be to work for such a dark cause? I do not think it will be too difficult to get the former members of the Empire to agree to a new, better form of government.

Well, as you know too…those footsteps were Imperial officers and stormtroopers, waiting to ambush us. We walked into a trap. Too bad we weren’t able to set off the explosives before they caught us.

I thought the mission was done for when we were captured, but those Ewoks saved us! I cannot believe the extreme measures they took in creating traps for the Imperial Walkers. Did you see what they did? They used logs to trip some, and they through rocks at them, they tied two logs together from opposite trees and waited until a Walker was in between them and cut the logs at the same time….and they have been using their weapons against them. It looks pretty good…just as long as you can get that door open.

Too bad R2 was hit when he tried to get into the system…but then you started to hot wire the door…but instead, you made the outer door close. I hope you can get it done soon. There is an Imperial Walker coming towards us, so you’d better hurry. Maybe we can escape inside and set off the explosives. At least then the fleet would be able to do what they need to do.

Ah…my arm still hurts from that blaster. I bet that stormtrooper was surprised when he was going to kill us, and I had my blaster between you and me, out of view, and you jumped aside just when he said hands up, and he came to a nasty end.

Yes…well I think the Ewoks know that C-3PO is not a god now.

Oh…so Threepio was slow in the translation? Hmm…somehow that doesn’t surprise me.

Uh…Han…there is an Imperial Walker pointing its guns at us. I think it’s all over. We have failed the Rebellion. I will be honored to die by your side.

Leia,

Hehe somehow I knew you wouldnt start referring to old Goldenrod as God. He might start acting like it :)

I'm sure a lot of the officers are good, because I was. I quit the Empire when I saw how evil it was. But I think some of them are as bad as the Emperor himself.

Thank the Force for those Ewoks, for a second there I thought we were dead. Too bad Artoo got shot, but I'm sure perhaps I can hotwire the door controls.

How's the blaster burn? It doesn't look too bad, from where I'm standing. I'm sure itr will heal quickly.

Oh gods...maybe...no...wait...Chewie's in the walker! Hmm...that gives me an idea...

Be back in a sec, I think this might work

Love Han

Dear Han,

I couldn’t refer to anything that is not God as God. Does that make sense? It just would be so wrong to me. That’s why I wouldn’t call C-3PO that.

Still…the Emperor is a Sith, and the only other Sith is Darth Vader, my father. I don’t think that any Imperial officer would have the support or evilness necessary to do what the Emperor did. I believe that good will prevail, and the Empire will fall completely because of the destruction of the Death Star.

I’m so grateful to the Ewoks too. Without them, there is no way we would be celebrating a victory right now.

Oh, my blaster burn? Don’t worry about it. It’s not bad…and I’m sure it can be treated easily. I wouldn’t mind seeing a doctor…but it shouldn’t be any big deal.

I cannot believe what Chewie did…when you said that gave you an idea, what did you do? You said, “Be back in a sec, I think this might work.” I wasn’t paying attention to you because I helped a baby Ewok find its mother. The Ewoks were hit pretty badly in this battle, Han. I hope the Rebellion can help them in some way.

I am so glad that the war is finally over…because we were able to get in and set the bombs, we destroyed the shield surrounding the Death Star, and our pilots were able to blow it up! Bail, my adopted father, told me that there are going to be celebrations all across the galaxy tonight to celebrate the destruction of the Empire. I am overjoyed. Finally, we can start a new government…and there will be peace.

Luke is not back here yet, but the pilots are coming back. I know he’s not dead, because I can fell it…so I’ll just have to wait for him. Have you seen him around?


Love,
Leia

Leia,

Well whilst you were busy, I went into the walker and pretended to be a driver of it, and said that the strike team had been routed, and that we (the supposed Imp troops) needed reinforcements. So the officer in there decided to send all the troops out the back door and were met by a lot of the Ewoks, and the strike team. The we just went in, got the explosives in place and ran.

This whole thing seems strange. I dunno when I have ever known peace like this. Its kinda nice. :)

Wedge told me he saw a shuttle leaving the Death Star just before it blew. I think it was Luke.

Love Han

Han,

Well, it’s been a week since the Death Star battle.

I am confident that there will be peace. The Empire has been destroyed, and we are now free to make a new, improved form of government.

My mother has invited me and Luke to move into the Royal Naboo family house. It’s huge! You should see the rooms. I should tell you something interesting…Luke has fallen in love. I’m sure you haven’t noticed…he only told me last night. He met this girl named Kirsten (have I mentioned her to you before)? Well Luke told me about her a while ago, but I didn’t know he really had feelings for her. He’s only known her a short amount of time, but he told me that he proposed to her yesterday morning. Isn’t that nice? Mom said that she can live with us too…our house is big enough for several families of people. It must be wonderful to have plans of getting married.

Thank you for explaining what happened during the battle.

Yes, Luke later confirmed to me that that shuttle that Wedge saw leaving the Death Star was Luke.

Did Luke tell you that our father…Anakin Skywalker…saved Luke’s life? Apparently the Emperor was trying to kill him with some force electricity or something, and dad couldn’t stand to watch that happen, so he killed the Emperor himself…to save Luke’s life! He’s gone back to the light side now…realizing that the Dark Side meant nothing, seeing that Luke could refuse the power like that, and he knew that he had been wrong. Also, my brother told me that our dad is going to go see a doctor, and the doctor is going to fix him so he doesn’t have to wear that suit and mask, and so that he looks like normal human without all the scars. He and mom seem a little uncomfortable together, but I think they’ll be all right. They do love each other, and I have faith that they will get back together.

Well I have to go now.

Remember that I love you, Han.


Love,
Leia

Leia,

Luke's in love? Way to go Luke! I knew there would be some girl waiting for him out there. Nice to know he's found her

So let me get this straight, Vader has now come back over to our side? Well thats cool I guess. I don't know if people will be as ok about it as i am, but I'm sure things will work out.

Love Han

One year later:

Han,

Well it’s now been a year since the destruction of the Second Death Star, and the destruction of the Empire. As you know, there have been no major threats to our new government, and we are finally living in a time of peace.

I am so glad that you finally proposed to me a day after my last note to you (which was written a week after the Death Star was destroyed), and we were able to have a double wedding with Luke and his wife Kirsten…and we even had children about at the same time. The funny thing is we both had boy/girl twins.

Yes, I am so glad that Luke finally found such a nice girl, and that he was able to marry her too.

My father now looks like a normal human being. The doctors were able to fix his scars, even the ones in his lungs so that he could breathe without that mask and suit. And he has hair now too, and actually looks human. Don’t you think? My parents have been so close now, and I think they are back to how they used to be before he became Darth Vader.

We didn’t make a big deal of the fact that my father was once Vader….actually not many people know it. He certainly doesn’t go around and tell people that, and because he doesn’t wear the mask and suit, I guess no one knew. That’s a good thing, though.

You are a very good husband and father, Han, and I love you very much. I am so glad that I found you, and you’ve been so supportive of me. I doubt anyone could say so much about their spouse.

Since we are married now, and live in the same huge palace (by the way what do you think of it), and there is no threat from the Empire, I do not think it will be necessary for us to write any more notes together.


Love,
Leia

Leia,

The last year with you has been the best ever. The double wedding was great, did Luke tell you what happened to us on our "mens night"? Well if he didnt, we got tied up to some Rodian dancers and left all night. It was funny in retrospect.

Your dad looks pretty cool now. I havent chatted to him much, but I'm hoping me and him can get some time to kinda get to know each other.

I think the kids are about to riot, honey.

Love Han
