Note 1
Lowdun,

Hello. I hope you leanred about the Clone Wars now. I really don’t know what to say to you. I just wanted to write you because you looked a little troubled. What did I say or do to offend you?

Luke Skywalker

Note 2
Luke,

Don't worry you did nothing and said nothing that offended me. I'm just a little shocked that's all.

Yes, I'm still learning about the Clone Wars. I can't believe I didn't know about them. Oh well, at least I'm learning.

Lowdun

Note 3
Lowdun,

Do you really think that I am related to you? I asked my grandfather if you were his father, but I haven’t gotten a response from him yet. I am sure there is more than one Summoner Skywalker, seeing how popular the last name Skywalker is. I am confused because you said you never heard of my father, but that you had heard of my uncles Rhun and Owen…so I’m just confused.

I can’t imagine living all by yourself isolated from everything…..including the Empire. That must have been lonely.

Well I’m going to be flying in the Death Star battle and I’ve never really flown before except for that test run I did when I found you.

I bumped into this lady and got this big stain on her dress, so I’m trying to get it out right now. I’ll see you around.


Luke

Note 4
Luke,

I'm sorry if I'm confusing you, but I'm just as confused as you are. I never heard of Alex Skywalker all though MY father's name was Alex Skywalker, but I do know of Summoner, Rhun and Owen. I doubt there are more Summoner Skywalkers, because the name Summoner isn't THAT well known.

Yes, living alone is lonely, but you get used to it after a while. Thank you for bringing me here, you didn't have to do that, you know.

Well, I hope that lady's dress is all right, and hopefully she isn't mad at you.

Be careful in the battle. If it's your first time to fly, you're have to be VERY careful!!. By the way, why haven't you ever flown before?


Lowdun

Note 5
Lowdun,

Your father’s name was Alex Skywalker? That’s strange. Well maybe my grandparents named my father after your father. That kind of thing does happen in family lines sometimes. I still don’t know for sure if I’m related to you or not because I haven’t gotten the letter from my grandfather yet. As soon as I do, I’ll add what he says to this note.

No, Summoner isn’t that well known. So you know about Rhun and Owen but not my father? That’s strange. If I am your great grandson then how come you knew about my uncles but not my father? That doesn’t make any sense.

As for bringing you back to the base, I had no choice. I COULDN’T just leave you there. You are a person, and I thought that you should be brought back to this base to be with other people.

I tried my best to get the stain out, but I couldn’t finish it because I had to go fight in the battle.

I am doing my best to be careful, very careful, in this battle, and I think I’m doing all right.

Why haven’t I flown before? Well it’s because my uncle wouldn’t let me learn because…he said my father was a terrible pilot and that I would inherit the terribleness so he said that’s why he never let me learn. See…my uncle raised me and adopted me because Darth Vader killed my real parents. You don’t know much about the Empire, do you? I don’t think I told you about Darth Vader. Do you know about the Jedi? Like just after I was born he and my mother were captured by Vader. He questioned them about information they didn’t know, and so they couldn’t tell him (I doubt they would have told him even if they would have known what he wanted), so Vader shot and killed them. Vader’s a Sith, which is kind of like an evil Jedi. My father was a Jedi (at least that’s what Ben told me.) My uncle told me my father was a navigator on a space freighter, so as you might imagine I’m confused.

Vader’s so MEAN!!! He killed off all the Jedi Knights and he captured my uncle and grandfather and my friend Leia and was going to kill them….but I rescued them. He almost killed Ben Kenobi too (who is one of the last Jedi Knights).

Anyway….the battle’s not going THAT well. The Imperials keep destroying our ships….and my best friend (Biggs Darklighter) just died, and my friend Wedge Antilles had to pull out of the battle because he had a bad malfunction…and I’m the only one left. Vader’s on me TIGHT though, and I can’t seem to shake him. It’s scary.


Luke

PS I just received my grandfather’s letter and he confirmed it. You ARE his father, but I’m very confused now. He said that he had never heard of Alex Skywalker, and that he only had 3 children, and they had the names Rhun, Owen, and Anakin. That makes no sense unless my uncle isn’t really my uncle, and that I’m NOT really related to him or you or my grandfather. It still doesn’t make sense because I had to do a report on Anakin Skywalker, and my uncle DID NOT TELL ME THAT HE WAS HIS BROTHER! Does that make any sense to you? He refused to say anything about him, and he actually said he had never heard of Anakin. Also, Obi-Wan did not say that Anakin was my uncle’s brother, and I’m sure Obi-Wan knew that. WHY didn’t he tell me? And if Anakin really was my father, then how come no one told me? If Anakin was my father, then that would mean that both my uncle AND Obi-Wan lied to me and told me his name was Alex. Why wouldn’t Obi-Wan have told me that Anakin was my father when he knew I was doing a report on him, and he KNEW him. This is just not making any sense. Anakin Skywalker was a famous Jedi Knight…I think it is impossible that he would have been my father.

What I think is that I was from a different family and that my uncle adopted me and said he was my uncle just to make me feel like I had a family. My real parents were probably some young teenagers that just deserted me or something. My uncle did tell me that I was only 1 pound 6 ounces at birth…so I was premature and everything, so that was probably because I had teenage parents.

Note 6
Luke,

I hope you can get away from Vader, and destroy that Death Star. You're the only one left, you HAVE to do it.

Well, I don't know what's going on here with your family or anything. All I know is that, I don't have a son named Alex. You just as confused as I am. Remember I JUST got here and don't have a clue to what's going on. Please tell me if you find anything.

I do know of the Jedi, and the Sith, I knew them pretty well before the Clone Wars, or even when the Trade Federation invaded Naboo. It's a shame that Vader killed them all (the Jedi I'm speaking of). They did a great job with keeping peace in the galaxy, but now they are gone and this is all happening. I'm still unsure to what is REALLY happening.

Well, I have to go. I'm sorry to hear about your friend (Biggs Darklighter). I hope you make it back here safely.

Note 7
Lowdun,

Well as it turned out my friend Han Solo came to my rescue. He shot down 2 of the TIE fighters that were after me. He tried to shoot down Darth Vader’s ship, but instead he hit it and it started spinning out of control, but AWAY from the Death Star. That made me all clear so that I could make the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Without Han, I couldn’t have done that.

I wish I hadn’t told you that I was the only one left because then I had to tell you that I was the one that destroyed the Death Star. I HATE it when people recognize me for something like that. I really don’t like the special attention because I don’t feel that I deserve it. Please don’t tell anyone that it was me that destroyed it.

Well um….my uncle and grandfather wrote me and told me that Anakin was my father’s MIDDLE name and that Alex was his first name. My grandfather called him Anakin, and that’s why there was the mix-up of names. Well um….now you know that you have a grandson named Alex Anakin Skywalker. It’s strange that you never heard of him, though. I wonder how come you knew of my uncles but didn’t know of my father. I don’t think my father’s THAT much younger than my uncles….I don’t even know if he WAS younger than my uncles.

Yes, it is a shame that Vader killed all the Jedi. They sound like really neat people and I think it would have been nice to know them….especially my father. I wish that I knew him so much. Well I do know one Jedi that is still alive…his name’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he even knew my father!

Yeah…..I don’t know what I’m going to do without Biggs.

Have you heard if there is going to be an awards ceremony (I hope there isn’t going to be one), or where they’re talking about having our new Rebel base?

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?


Your great-grandson,
Luke

Note 8
Luke,

Your father's name was Alex-Anakin-Skywalker, then? Well, sorry, I still don't know him. You said he was a Jedi? Well, he must not have been a Jedi when I was, because he wasn't there. Obi-Wan Kenobi is still alive? Well, I haven't heard too much about him, before I left the Order, but after I left I heard some here and there. He's the last Jedi Knight? Really, can you tell me about him (also more of your parents). I'm trying really hard to bring myself to date after being left out for years, and it's hard to understand everything.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you destroyed the Death Star, but I'm sure the word will get around soon. I'm glad your friend, Han, was able to help you, so that you could destroy the Death Star. It's a shame that Vader escaped.

Sure, I'll go to the award ceremony if there is one.

I think that they're talking about a new base (would make sense if we moved), but I'm not sure where that would be.

Note 9
First Luke and Lowdun Note written after AOTC came out


Lowdun,

Yes, my father’s name was Alex Anakin Skywalker. You still don’t know him? That’s weird. I’m going to have to ask my uncle and grandfather about that because it’s weird that you knew my uncles but not my father. Yes, he was a Jedi…but I don’t know much about him. All I know is that he was a Jedi, used to race pods and tie with this person whose first name was Anakin and last name was Skywalker (weird, huh), that he had a midi-cholorian count of 24 thousand, and that he was with my mother when he died. Darth Vader questioned him about something and my father refused or couldn’t tell him the information, and Vader had my parents shot.

You were a Jedi too? Wow…no one told me that. I wonder how come my uncle and grandfather didn’t mention that. Yes, Obi-Wan Kenobi is still alive. When I get back to the base would you like me to introduce him to you? Yes, Obi-Wan is the last Jedi Knight. Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine somehow hunted down and killed off all the Jedi (except for Obi-Wan).

Let’s see…I’ll tell you all that I know about Obi-Wan. Okay, I’m doing this report on this guy named Anakin Skywalker (the same one that my father used to tie in races), and I know that Obi-Wan was Anakin’s Jedi Master. I also know that some guy named Qui-Gon Jinn was Obi-Wan’s Jedi Master. I don’t know too much about him…he knew my father and other Jedi, and he seems to be a great man, but that’s all I really know…sorry.

Let’s see…about my parents…well I’m not exactly sure…but the Jedi didn’t allow Padawans and people outside the Jedi order to marry, right? Well my father fell in love with my mother and decided to quit the Jedi Order and marry her. I don’t understand that, but that’s what Obi-Wan told me, so I’m telling you now. I know NOTHING about my mother besides her name. I don’t know if that helps any, but that’s all I know.

I know that Uncle Rhun is a year older than my Uncle Owen…but I don’t know where my father fit in. Do you think he was the youngest? I know you were missing for YEARS…so did you go missing before my father was born or something?

By the way, how did you get missing anyway? I know you were trapped on that planet since before the Clone Wars, but you never told me how you got there. You said something about knowing of the Trade Federation invading Naboo. I don’t know much about that, but Obi-Wan mentioned it to me once or twice. I don’t know when that happened.

Yeah I know that the word will eventually get around that I’m the one who destroyed the Death Star. I just was hoping to try and hold the spreading off for as long as I could. Yeah I’m really glad that Han was able to help me too.

Yes, it’s too bad that Vader escaped.

So how did you like the Awards Ceremony? I felt so strange and embarrassed. Practically everyone in the entire Rebellion was staring at me. The good thing was that Leia was the one that put the medal on me. I would have REALLY hated the entire awards ceremony if she hadn’t been the one that gave me the award. That was about the only positive thing about the entire situation.

Well it didn’t take us to long to find out that the new base would be Hoth. Boy is it COLD out here. Han and I went out to look for life forms and I saw this thing fall out of the sky and hit near where I was (and still am). I think that it might have been an Imperial Probe Droid or something…or maybe it’s just a meteorite. Well whatever it is, I’m going to check it out. It won’t take long, and I should be back at the base in like 5 to 10 minutes. I have to go because my Tauntaun is starting to act strange…like there’s something that’s bothering it, so I have to get going.


Luke
