These are notes between Luke and Jobal.Before AOTC came out, I had Sally be Padmé's mother's name. (I read the book AOTC so I know that Padmé’s father is supposed to be named Ruwee, and her mother’s name is supposed to be Jobal. That change will not take effect in this story until you reach the point where I started writing after AOTC. This is just so you can tell what I wrote before and after AOTC, and to make sure that all the different Notes fics fit together). One more thing, "Samantha" is Padmé's undercover name.

Note 1
Sally Jedi,

(There sure are a lot of people with the last name Jedi). Anyway, I was told that you were in charge of the maintenance of the Rebel structure. I was wondering if the Rebellion allows smoking, or if it was a non-smoking place. It’s a personal concern, but I would still like to know.

Luke Skywalker
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 2
Luke Skywalker,

No, smoking it not allowed, but there are some people that go against that, and just me their stay isn't pleasant. I hope you will not go against that rule.

Just so you know, there are not a lot of people that have their last name as Jedi, only a few. If you've ran into others, I'm most likely related to them.


Sally Jedi
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3
Sally Jedi,

Good. I just wanted to make sure. I’m glad it’s not allowed. I’m also glad that you also enforce it harshly.

No, I’m not going to go against the rule…I’ll guarantee that. It’s a relief to know that smoking is not allowed because it affects other people. I would never do it myself for a lot of reasons. 1.) I think it’s one of the stupidest things that a person can do to their body. I mean obviously it’s harmful. It causes people to have shortened lives, and then they can never reach their full potential and be used by God to carry out His plans as long. It also hurts the body that God gave you. 2.) It’s disgusting. And it makes the person who does it smell and it’s dirty. 3.) It hurts other people around the person. Obviously it’s not good for a person’s lungs…..and why should the person that is next to them be hurt by something that you chose to do. 4.) I’m very allergic to it anyway. It makes me really sick, so I can’t even stand to be around it. See, I have asthma, but it only bothers me when I’m around something I’m allergic to or if I run or something…and my lungs are a little weak, so there is no way I would do anything that would hurt them, or something that I’m that allergic to. That’s stupid.

Okay, so there are only a few people with the last name Jedi. That’s good. Yeah…I’ve run into 3 people by the last name of Jedi. You must all work high up in the Rebellion. I’ve run into a Tim Jedi, a John Jedi….and now you. That’s all that I know of.

Well I’m going to be fighting in the Death Star battle…this should be interesting. I’ve never actually flown before…well I took a test run…but that’s it. I also go take care of something that I messed up. I’ll talk to you later. What do you think of the Death Star battle plans?


Luke Skywalker
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 4
Luke,

I don't know too much about the Death Star plans, you should really ask Bail or Samantha.

I'm glad you're not thinking about breaking the 'no-smoking' law, because you wouldn't have a very pleasant stay if you did. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks smoking is bad. I know my family does know how bad it is, but I'm talking about people outside my family like you.

Oh, so you've met my husband and father-in-law. Tim is my husband and John is my father-in-law. See, there aren't a lot of people with the last name 'Jedi'.

Well, I hope you do well with the battle. Battles are scary, so please be careful.


Sally
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 5
Sally,

Well the battle’s been going on for a while now…and I’m on the attack run at this moment. To be honest, it’s kind of scary. Vader’s behind me and I just can’t seem to shake him. He’s already hit me twice, but not damaged my ship seriously. I lost my R2 unit, though. We only have 1 minute left….this is so tough.

Like I told you, there is no way I would even think about breaking the no smoking law because I’ve already told you my reasons. Like I said, it would really hurt me if I did smoke because of my lungs and asthma, and I am against the idea of doing it anyway.

No, you’re not the only one that thinks smoking is bad…and we’re not the only two people either. I know a lot of people that are against it. All my friends are against it, my uncle’s against it, and so are so many other people. Your family is not the only one that knows that it is bad.

Wow….I’ve met your husband and father-in-law? So Tim is your husband and John is your husband’s father? Hmmm….interesting. I had to check with Tim about my ship and I had to go have a medical exam by John because I was new to the Rebellion. So Jedi isn’t a popular last name? I’ll keep that in mind.

So what do you do around the Rebellion besides enforce the no smoking law?

I have tried to do my best on the battle…I guess I’ve done okay so far. Like I said, this is the first time I have ever flown.


Luke

Note 6
Luke,

For a first-time-pilot you're pretty good. Most of the other pilots spent weeks, months, even years in training and look, Vader blew them down like they were no problem. I think he's mad because he can't get you, but that's fine with me, as long as he DOESN'T get you. Yes, you're the last pilot up there, and there's one minute left, so you MUST do it. Be safe up there.

I'm glad to hear that there are many other people that do not smoke and are against that. That's great to know.

I mostly file stuff, do research for people, and many other jobs. I don't really have one job, but many small ones.

Well, I have to go and get to some work.


Sally
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 7
First Luke and Sally Note written after AOTC came out. I also read the book, and because of that I found out what Padmé’s parents names were so I have changed their names from Tim and Sally to Ruwee and Jobal. I have also decided to no longer use the name Samantha and to use the name Padmé. Her family’s last name will no longer be Jedi, but it will be Amidala. Instead of being the royal family of Coruscant, they will be the Royal family of Naboo. They do not rule anything though. The elected Queen of Naboo still does that.


Jobal,

You know what? I just learned something interesting. Cigarettes are called Death Sticks on other planets in the Empire. I honestly didn’t know that until I overheard some people talking about Death Sticks and I figured it out. Calling them Cigarettes must be a regional Tatooine thing.

I honestly don’t think I’m THAT good of a pilot….but I know you meant it as a compliment, and I thank you for it. I don’t feel that I deserve it, but thanks anyway. Are you serious? Most pilots spend weeks, months, and even years training to become pilots? Huh? It….it’s so natural……I didn’t think that…..okay this reminds me of the “feelings” thing I was talking about with Ben. I thought that these feelings that I get were normal…but then he told me they weren’t. Maybe it’s not normal to have piloting come natural to a person. I….I….don’t know. It seems so easy to pick up on. I don’t understand how it could be so hard for other people.

LOL, if Vader’s mad at me this wouldn’t be the first time. I lied to him about the Death Star plans, and I’ve been insulting him, and I rescued his prisoners from the Death Star…..so I think he was already mad at me. I don’t care how mad he gets at me because I’m a part of the Rebellion and it would be hard to find me…..especially since I didn’t use my legal name when I signed up for the Rebellion. I’d just love to see his reaction if he tried to look me up, because he couldn’t find me. That would make him so mad.

Dang it…..you knew I was the last pilot…..so you knew that I was the one that blew the Death Star up. I wish so many people didn’t know…it’s embarrassing. It makes me feel so strange and I hate being singled out like that. Please don’t go around and tell other people that I was the one that blew it up. Han Solo came and shot down the other TIE fighters. If it hadn’t been for him I would never have been able to do that.

He hit Vader’s ship, but it wasn’t a direct hit. His ship started spinning out of control, and I don’t know if he died in the Death Star explosion or not.

Yes, it is great to know that other people feel the same way you do about something.

I see…..so you have a lot of jobs in the Rebellion. That must be nice.

Hey….I learned from my friend Leia that you are Mon Mothma’s mother. Is that true? Also is there going to be an awards ceremony? I hope not…because I don’t want to go up in front of everyone and have everyone look at me like I’m some special person or something. I only did what was necessary. I blew up the Death Star, but anybody could have done that. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I’m sure other pilots could have done just as well.

One more thing, 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,

I won't tell anyone that you destroyed the Death Star, but I'm SURE that the word will get around soon, even if I don't tell (which I won't).

Yes, I'm Mon Mothma mother. So, Leia has been talking to you, and yes I'm afraid that that girl talked her father into having an award ceremony, so I can't do anything to stop that, sorry.

I don't know where the next base will be, but I've heard around and some are saying Hoth, which is ok, I guess, just a really COLD planet!!

I don't know what those 'feelings' you're talking about, and I'm not sure how they could have helped you pilot, but whatever it is you were able to win the battle, which is wonderful!!

You're a brave boy to have a goal (if that is what you're calling it) to get Vader mad at you! Mostly no one would even dare do that. Just do me a favor and make sure he never finds our base, ok?

Well must go.


Jobal
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 9
Jobal,

Thanks. I realize that the word will eventually get around that I’m the one that destroyed the Death Star…but I was just hoping that maybe I could slow down the spread…so that maybe by the time it’s common knowledge people won’t make such a big deal out of it. I don’t want people to stop talking when they see me and stop and point and talk about me. Like, “He’s the one that blew up the Death Star,” or “He’s a great pilot.” Or anything like that.

Thanks for telling me you were Mon Mothma’s mother. Yes, Leia has been talking to me. Yeah, it’s too bad that Leia talked her father into having the Awards Ceremony. I felt so embarrassed…practically every member in the Rebellion was there!

By the way, I just found out that Mon Mothma’s husband was Anakin Skywalker. I have to do a report on Anakin Skywalker for school. Do you have anything you could tell me about him?


How do you think the move to Hoth went?

I think I’m finding out just how cold Hoth is. Han and I volunteered to go outside and look for life forms. I didn’t find anything, but near the end of the shift I saw this thing fall from the sky, and I think it might be a meteorite, but it also might be an Imperial Probe Droid. For that reason, I’m going to go check it out…I already told Han. It won’t take me more than ten minutes, but my Tauntaun is acting up. It’s acting like it senses danger or something, so the sooner I get back the sooner I’ll be assured of my safety.

I guess Ben’s right about my feelings…I guess they’re not normal. I had always thought they were. I don’t quite understand the feelings, but I know it helped me. At any rate, you’re right…whatever it was, it helped me be able to win the battle, and it is wonderful. I just would rather crawl into a hole than to have people make a big deal out of me blowing up the Death Star. I wish people would stop making a big deal about it.

LOL, I’m not TRYING to get Vader mad at me. I’m just trying to put Vader in his place. It’s fun insulting him, but I don’t want him to know it was me…because then he might kill me or something. I mean Vader is DANGEROUS. Trust me, I’m not going to give the location of our base away, and I’m not going to give him any information about the Rebellion.


Luke

Note 10
Dear Luke,

I don't think anyone has gotten the word yet that you did blow up the death star. A lot of people still think it is one of the empire's tricks...There is no telling how people will act when they do find out the truth on things...so do not be suprised if one day when it is common knowledge about you blowing up the death star that someone stops you in the middle of something, with a look of awe and say "Gee didn't you blow up the death star.." -or- course by then the explosion of the death star may have blown up...pardon the pun..to legendary status...but we can only know of things like that when they happen.. the causes of something big may not always be in our hindsights.

The awards ceremony was important...You may not realize that..it was a time when the rebellion could gather together and honor those who have exceeded the expectations of the rebellion to help with our cause. We hardly have celebrations..we never know when the empire could break them up..-or- do something harmful..You may have felt embrassed ...but you should be proud you were able to participate in something that may not happen for a long while...a celebration and the rebels actually showing true smiling...and not hiding..

Let's see ...what I can tell you about Anakin Skywalker...was he was very arrogant... He had this confidence that he could do anything that he wanted to do...I have heard say he was a mechanical genius and he built his own...let's see what was it...I think it was a droid...A small one functional droid...but I don't remember...I am not sure if he really was a mechanical genius..he never seemed that way when I knew him...I only saw his arrogance and his vanity.Why are you doing a report about him anyway? Did you pick him , -or- was he assigned to you?

I don't know if the move to Hoth was a good thing...It is too cold...and I am not sure if it is as secluded as you would like.. i have heard that you have already lost two rebels out in the cold. I hope you were carefull when you ventured outside we already have casaulities...I've heard..I don't know who yet.. I haven't talked to Leia yet...maybe she will know...DO stay bundled up...and try not to freeze too much.

Try and stay away from Vader...so close to the explosion of the Death Star..I think now is definetly not the time to be playing games...He isn't just DANGEROUS....He's EXTREMELLY DANGEROUS!...Please be careful...and though you may not be giving him the location of the new base...be caeful...you never know what he knows...he may easily find it...Let's us hope not.

Keep Safe.

Note 11
Jobal,

Well I hope that no one ever does find out that I did blow up the Death Star, but I know that’s impossible. I’m sure I’ll know when everyone knows that I blew up the Death Star, and you can bet I’m going to hate that. Good…I’d rather have them think that it was one of the Empire’s tricks…but wouldn’t they wonder why the Empire would build such an expensive battle station, and then destroy it. That is my hope…that the newness of the Death Star explosion will die enough that no one even says anything to me once they find out. I have not been in the Rebellion for long…but I can see where you might consider the awards ceremony so important…still they wouldn’t have felt it necessary to single me out. It was truly an honor to be able to help out the Rebellion. I am happy that I was able to do some good against the evil Empire.

You said that Anakin Skywalker was very arrogant? Obi-Wan did not tell me anything about that, and neither did Jira…the old woman that knew him. In fact, they had nothing but good things to say about him. I admit I know nothing about him…all I can go off is what other people have been telling me. He seems like he must have been a very great person. Perhaps you just didn’t understand him. I’m just trying to guess…because I know I hate being misjudged…and people do it to me all the time. They see me as a poor unpopular person that has nothing to offer the world. I am also kind of quiet, and I think that sometimes people take that the wrong way…and think that I don’t want to get to know people. I don’t know why I’m trying to stand up for this guy that I never met…but from what I heard about him…I just think he sounds like an awesome person. I suppose I should have known that he wasn’t everything I thought he would be. Famous people usually are snotty and arrogant. For once I thought there was a good, kind famous person. So he was a mechanical genius and he built his own droid? Really? He built the Jira lady a cooling unit. But you said that he didn’t seem like he was a mechanical genius to you. Why not? You said that all you could see about him was his arrogance and vanity? Would you mind giving me some examples? I’m doing a report on him because I have to for a school project. No, I did not pick him on purpose. My instructor had a bunch of famous people’s names in a container and he had us all draw names from the container. I happened to pick the name Anakin Skywalker. I know he has the same last name as me, but Skywalker is the most common name in the galaxy…so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that such a famous person has the same last name as me.

Hoth certainly is cold…but I bet you didn’t spend a whole night out in it, like I did. That was not fun. You heard that there were two lost rebels out in the cold? One of them would have been me…and the other was my friend Han Solo, who went out after me. I did try to be careful when I went outside, but I had an accident. I’ll tell you more about it in a minute.

Well I tried not to freeze, but it was kind of hard.

I’m going to try to stay away from Vader. That man (or whatever he is) scares me. He killed my parents, plus all the Jedi Knights. I realize he is dangerous…but…..I’m not sure…I just enjoy writing him. Don’t worry, I am being as careful about this as I can. But I did hear there was an Imperial probe droid spotted.

I’m going to tell you exactly what happened, mainly because I don’t want everyone at this base to think I’m an idiot.

Bail Organa asked for volunteers to go on shifts to ride out into the cold to make sure we were alone on Hoth…meaning no Imperial presence or anything like that. Han and I signed up for the last shift on that day.

Just as we were finishing up our rounds and getting ready to head back in, I saw something fall out of the sky. It looked like it might have been a meteorite or something. (Remember, that’s one of the last things I said in my last letter.) I had just checked in with Han, and as I prepared to get my Tauntaun moving again, my Tauntaun started acting very strange. I didn’t know what could be bothering it, and as I was looking around, a Wampa ice creature knocked me off of my Tauntaun, and I went unconscious. It dragged me to it’s cave (I still don’t know how far away the cave was from the base.)

When I woke up I found myself hanging upside down on the cave ceiling. My feet were frozen to the ceiling, and I couldn’t move them at all. I looked over to my side and I saw this ugly wampa ice creature chewing on bones from it’s last meal. It saw that I had started to move, and it got up to go after me.

When the creature stuck me to the ceiling, something fell out of my utility belt, and I thought that it might help me escape. I managed to get it in my hand, and I freed myself. I landed on the ground just as the creature started coming for me. I cut off the creature’s arm and took off running.

I wouldn’t have gone outside in the cold normally, because by that time it WAS storming, but I had no choice. I hadn’t killed that wampa creature, and it would have been mad at me for cutting off it’s arm, so if I would have stayed, it would have killed me.

I don’t know about you, but have you ever come close up to a wampa ice creature? That thing was scary! And have you ever become close to being it’s next meal? There was no way I was going to risk it, so I just had to leave. I knew I had to keep going for as long as I could.

To be honest, I was SCARED. I’ve never been that scared in my life. I was panicking a little because I didn’t know what direction the base was, and I knew that if I stayed out in the cold very long, I would freeze.

Luckily, Han went out and searched for me……and found me. He saved my life. He told me he put me inside a dead Tauntaun. I don’t remember that because I was barely alive.

Oh good grief….I’m really tired now. The medic people are giving me these mean looks, like they want me to hurry up and finish, and some of them are even yelling at me. I’m trying to get this letter to last as long as I can. It’s BORING lying in bed all day. I hate it when I’m sick, but I don’t think anyone likes being sick. Besides being almost frozen and getting the cuts from the Wampa creature, and from hitting the hard ground when I fell off the Tauntaun…I also came down with pneumonia, and a few other lung infections. I’ll be okay.

Let me know what’s happening in the main section of the base. I can’t stand being here and I can’t wait until I get better, so I can get up and do things.


Luke
