Note 1
Darth Vader,

I hope you got all the satisfaction out of your questioning of me, because you’ll get no more. I’ll never tell you anything! And we have the tactical information you are looking for so, ha! I know you tracked us, but we’ll blow your stupid battle station up as soon as the data is analyzed.

Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 2
Leia,

I got all I need, but of course there is always something needed.

As for my 'stupid battle station', do you have ANY idea how much that costs to build!?! No matter, I can and will build another one, one I doubt you can and will destroy.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3
Darth Vader,

I know that you tracked us back to the Base, but we DO have the plans.

If you ever capture me again for any reason, you’ll find that you’ll NEVER learn anything from me. I’m never going to tell you anything or betray my friends.

No, I don’t have any idea how much the Death Star cost to build, but I can imagine that it would be quite a bit. Too bad. If money was such a big problem for you, you should never have made such a thing as the Death Star. It’ll soon be destroyed and all your money that you spent on the Death Star will have been wasted! It’s your own fault. You could have used that money in a much better way….such as money for the poor or for some other charity.

Well thanks for telling me you are planning on building another one….because now I’m going to go tell my father that, and we’ll be on the look out for your new plans.

Anything that can be built CAN be destroyed. You know something? Back in the world I grew up in, there was this ship called the Titanic. It was thought be unsinkable and indestructible…it was the largest, most luxurious boat that had ever been built. You know what happened to it? It hit an iceberg and sunk!!!!! So don’t tell me that you doubt something can be destroyed…because anything CAN be destroyed. The possibility for destroying it increases when a lot of people have a very strong motive for destroying it. They’re fighting for justice. What are you fighting for?


Bail Organa’s daughter,
Leia

Note 4
Leia,

You're SO confided that you're going to destroy the Death Star. Too bad, because you're NOT!!! No matter what you try to do, you're never win, the Empire always wins.

No, money isn't importation, because HELLO, I am second to the Empire and have all the money in the galaxy!!! I could build a second, third and FORTH Death Star if I wish, but with all those Death Stars there would be no fun in fighting you, because I would win swiftly.

I've never heard of Titanic, and because it sunk it must not be like my Death Star. So, tell me, where are you from? If Titanic was a ship, what was it doing flying need icebergs? That's stupid!!! Any pilot would know better.

What am I fighting for? I'm fighting for the Empire, if you haven't noticed. Well, must go, I'm going to enjoy destroying you. I hope you're ready to die.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 5
Darth Vader,

Confided? You used the wrong word, Vader. I think you meant confident or something. In any case, yes I am confident that we will destroy the Death Star. When people have a lot of determination, you’d be surprised at how much they can accomplish. How long do you think the Empire will keep on winning? You can’t continue winning forever.

Importation? You used the wrong word again. Importation is like when you bring something in….like taxes on imports means taxes on things coming in to the country. You meant important. You might have a lot of money in the galaxy, but we have the will to win. We’re fighting for our freedom. You would have “no fun” in fighting us. You think war is fun? Well you’re going to be in for a big surprise when you actually lose Imperial officers…..then we’ll see if you still think it’s fun.

LOL, no Vader…you poor space person…the Titanic was not a space ship. It was a ship that traveled by WATER. See where I’m from all humans live on one planet called Earth. There were these big blue wet things called oceans (big bodies of water) that separated the continents from each other. Before air travel was invented the only way to cross a big body of water was to travel by these things called boats or ships. The people that were on the boat did not know there were icebergs ahead until it was too late to turn the ship. The point I was trying to make with you was not that it hit an iceberg, but that it sunk even though everyone thought it was unsinkable and that there would be nothing that could destroy it. I was just telling you that the Death Star could be destroyed too….even if you think that there is no way that it could be destroyed. Got it?

I know you’re fighting for the Empire, but WHY are you fighting? What do you hope to accomplish by destroying us? What gives you the energy to fight? What motivates you to fight?

If I am to die, then so be it. The rest of the galaxy will see how awful you are and then more people will join the Rebellion in other sections, and the more systems will slip through your fingers.

I hope you’re happy with the lives you are planning on destroying.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 6
Leia,

Yes, I see you think you can correct me, but I must warn you, you've just sighed your death warrant. I hope you enjoy the last few minutes of your LIFE!!

Oh, ok, so Titanic was a 'water ship', you have to be more clear when you're talking to people from SPACE!!! Well, ships HERE are things that fly through ship, which the Death Star is a HUGE Space Station!!! Ask anyone, and they'll think that Titanic is a space ship and not a water ship.

So, you're from planet Earth, I've never heard of it (though I did make a promise that I'll visit all the planets and stars, so I'll visit Earth {not to mention take over it} soon), so tell me more of this 'planet' of yours.

I'm fighting, because I want the Jedi (whichever I HAVEN'T killed YET) to wallow in guilt, for there is one Jedi that I have in mind that knows and understands my reason, and THAT Jedi is NOT die, so every war I fight, and every life I kill will be the more guilt on him. Though they will not confess, the Jedi were not the best people in the world, they are the cruelest people I know of, and I am merely doing onto them as they have done to others. That is my reason for fighting.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 7
Darth Vader,

You would kill me just because I corrected mistakes you made? Okay, I’m going to continue to correct you. How do you like that?

I did tell you Titanic was a water ship when I told you about it the first time. You must have forgotten.

Well I’m glad you’ve never heard of Earth because that means it’s safe from your stupid self! LOL…you couldn’t take over Earth. You would be killed before you could do that.

What would you like to know about Earth?

Why would you care about inflicting guilt on others?

Hmm….well from what I’ve heard of the Jedi, they were great people. Of course sometimes people are biased about the dead. Well maybe I haven’t heard about the bad things that they did. What did they do that was so cruel to you? Who is this Jedi that you are so mad at?

You don’t seem like you’re such an evil person. I think you’re a sweet man on the inside, but have this exterior of looking very evil. You are evil (anyone that kills people like you is evil) but you also have some good inside of you. That’s reassuring.

Well I guess we’ll find out in a minute if you are going to blow up Yavin, or if our pilots will blow up the Death Star. Shall we wait and see?


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 8
Leia,

Oh please *rolling eyes*, there is NO good in me, so don't even THINK about saying there is, for all hope was lost long, LONG ago, BEFORE you were even born, so shut up about it!!!!

This certain Jedi I'm speaking of is named Obi-Wan-Kenobi. I have cold feelings toward him, for reasons that only he and I know, and will not share (unless some reason something happens and one of us tell, which is HIGHLY unlikely). He won't tell, because he knows he's at fault and that he failed everyone. I won't tell, plainly because why should I? No one else needs to know.

The Jedi were lazy, stiff-necked, people that when you tell them something that concerned the future of the galaxy, they WOULDN'T listen UNTIL it was too late. So, it was their own doing. If they had been more watchful, and willing to listen to what others had to say, I can tell you they would still be around, but because they didn't they're gone. You can't really blame me.

Why would I get killed before invaded Earth? Does that planet have some kind of shield or weapon that is large enough to destroy the Death Star...I think not (no planets do). What is Earth like. Like is it a desert, snow, forest, water, what kind of planet IS it???? What aliens live there? How many different kinds of aliens live here? What is it like to live there?

Go ahead, correct me, but that'll be the last thing you do.


Darth Vader

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



Darth Vader,

I’m not going to shut up about the fact that you have good in you because it’s true. All evil people have SOME good in them, no matter even if it’s a tiny bit.

LOL. I know Obi-Wan Kenobi. He’s a nice person. I can’t believe you were talking about him! Nothing is his fault. I don’t care that I don’t know what happened in your past or anything, but I’m sure that nothing was his fault. You just are too proud to take blame for everything you did yourself.

The Jedi were your enemies and that’s why you have nothing good to say about them. Why would they listen to a Sith? You killed them off because you couldn’t control them…because they wouldn’t do as you said.

For your information, Earth is not like your planets here. It has EVERYTHING on it. It has deserts, snow and ice, forests, water, and EVERYTHING possible. Aliens? Uh…..the only intelligent beings on Earth are humans. We have animals living there of course, but they can’t talk or anything.

How did you like it that the Death Star got blown up? I hope you know it was my friends that did it. I’m not going to give you their names, but your Death Star COULD and WAS destroyed.

I can’t believe you built such a huge weakness into the plans, but that figures.

Good luck trying to catch the heroes.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 10
Leia,

I already know about your 'hero' that blew up the Death Star. His name is Luke Skywalker, and I know some things that you don't even know (being from Earth and all). I will not share any information about what I know, because you should find it out yourself.

To tell you the truth, I didn't make the plans to the Death Star. If I had, there would have been NO weakness. It was some Count Dooku guy when the Clone Wars began. Ask around. I'm sure they know.

Why would the Jedi listen to me? Well, because I wasn't ALWAYS a Sith, you know. When I tried to warn the Jedi, I wasn't a Sith and they should have believed me. Since they didn't, I'm a Sith, and all this happened.

What do you mean, there are no other beings on Earth besides humans? That's crazy! Every planet has to have MORE than one kind of beings. Earth sounds interesting. I would like to someday see it.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 11
Darth Vader,

All right, I don’t know how you found out, but yes, Luke was the one that destroyed the Death Star, but you’re wrong about his last name! He told me his last name is Lars and not Skywalker, so ha! You got it wrong! Whoever gave you your information gave you the wrong information. Of course he IS going by the last name of “Skywalker” in the Rebellion, but I don’t think it’s his real last name. I asked him about it, but he hasn’t given me a reply yet.

So you didn’t make the plans to the Death Star? Some Count Dooku guy made theme when the Clone Wars began? All right….what exactly were the Clone Wars, and was this Dooku guy. Is he the Emperor? But I heard that the Emperor’s last name was Palpatine…..so what’s going on?

You weren’t always a Sith? Really? How is that? How do you expect me to believe that you were not always a Sith? And if you were not a Sith, what were you? I doubt that it’s the Jedi’s fault that you’re a Sith now.

I did tell you that there ARE animals on Earth, there is just no other species that can talk, think, and act like humans and the aliens from your world. Well I don’t think you’ll be able to see Earth…in fact I’ll never see it again myself. The doorway to my world has been closed forever, and there is no way to get to Earth now. I’m shocked that you would think that Earth would be interesting; I didn’t know you had an interest in anything or anyone (other than yourself).

I have no idea what you could possibly know about Luke that I wouldn’t know. I mean he IS one of my best friends. Maybe you were talking about his real last name (Lars), but you see, I already knew that because he told me on his first letter. I don’t care whether you share your “information” with me or not. I completely agree with you; I should find out myself. I can and will find out everything from Luke. I do NOT need your help.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 12
Leia,

How I found out is for me to know and for you to find out. Wrong about his name am I? I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I knew his father, and his last name was Skywalker, not Lars. Owen Lars was Luke’s uncle.

Do I have to repeat myself? The Clone Wars was a war inbetween an army of clones and Old Rebilcet. The Jedi fought in that war as well. Dooku was one of the leaders in that war. And no, he isn’t the Emperor. His name is Palpatine. You must be confused.

Not all of the Sith starts out as Sith. Most are Jedi that turn to the dark side. Those that who were always a Sith were taught by older Sith. I was a Jedi and it was the Jedi fault that I am a Sith now. They didn’t listen to me so here I am.

There are worlds that have animals that can talk, think and sometimes act like humans. So this Earth sounds like a low class plante. I still might find away to get there. Not every thing stays close.

I know a lot more than you think. I’m not going to repeat myself on this subject. And I never offered to help you find out more info on Luke.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 13
Darth Vader,

My friend Luke got lost last night in the cold, and he stayed outside all night, and ended up with pneumonia. (Not like you care about what happens to us Rebels anyway). I was very worried about him, and I’m still a little stressed with the whole situation. I might tend to insult you more because of this.

I also know that you know where our base is. My friends Han and Chewie went after this Imperial probe droid, and I have no doubts that you know where we are. Especially since we have detected your fleet in our system. I hope you like the shield we put up…it won’t allow any of your fire to get to our base.

Well Luke told me his legal last name is Lars, so you’re still incorrect when you said his last name was Skywalker.

You knew Luke’s father? Really? I don’t believe that you actually knew his father, but I do know that you killed his father. Luke told me that Obi-Wan told him that you killed both of his parents when you questioned them about information that they didn’t have.

Yes, Owen Lars is Luke’s uncle, and he’s here at the base too.

Okay, thank you for clarifying the Clone Wars issue. So Dooku was another person then? Was he killed?

So you were once a Jedi Knight, but you became a Sith? What joys do you have on the Dark Side? How could it be the Jedi’s fault that you are a Sith now?

And for your information, Earth is not a low class planet. Humans just happened to be the only species who could talk. Does that make it a low class planet? I don’t think so.

Oh please. I know how much you enjoy bragging about your intelligence. Everyone knows you’re full of yourself.

If you will excuse me, I’m going to make some soup for my sick friend.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 14
Leia,

Your right, I don’t care what happens to you Rebles. You might be tend to insult me more? I doubt I will be able to tell the diffence. Your right not to doubt that I know where your base is. Your shield wil not be able to hold up by the way.

That’s what he thinks. Yes, really. I don’t care if you don’t believe that I knew his father. Ah, yes, I remember that. I really don’t care that Owen Lars is at your base.

Your welcome, I suppose. He’s the one who helped Palpatine become the Emperor. And he was a Jedi who became a Sith. And yes, I was a Jedi who also became a Sith. The Dark Side is much more powerful. The Jedi didn’t listen to me.

Whatever. You have your opinion about your planet and I have mine. And I am not full of myself.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 15
Darth Vader,

You are the most cruel and heartless person I have ever met. How do you justify your actions?

We detected your fleet, and are now preparing for battle. We will see how our shield holds up. You think that it will not be able to hold up. Let me tell you something, Mr. Vader, that shield has been worked on by our top Rebel engineers. It has been tested, even, and NOTHING can get through. Does the word nothing mean anything to you?

Well, my friend Luke is still sick. He caught pneumonia, like I said before. I think he’s feeling better now. He also has asthma, so I think it was easier for him to get sick.

I know you care for no one, and that you want us all dead. You probably will be glad to kill Luke and his family, along with all the other families here at the base. We Rebels are strong and will not let you take us down without a fight.

The words, “Your welcome” are in your vocabulary? You impress me, Vader. I thought all you had to say was nasty, mean things, and that you did not know how to be polite.

So Dooku was the one that helped Palpatine become Emperor. Well since he’s not alive (at least I’ve never heard of him), I assume that he died. He was another Jedi who became a Sith? How can a once good Jedi turn into something so evil? But you said the Dark Side is more powerful? I don’t think so. Obi-Wan’s on our base right now, and he is a very powerful Jedi. Both the Sith and the Jedi have power, but it is what you do with that power that is important. Both should have the same level of powerfulness. It seems that the Sith are drawn to the Dark Side because of the bad powers that it uses. What about the good powers that the Jedi used. Were those not as powerful? Because it makes no sense to me that one could be more powerful than the other, when they both come from the same source (the Force.)

So you turned because of the Dark Side’s power, and the fact that the Jedi didn’t listen to you? Well that’s too bad. Maybe they DID listen to you, and you just didn’t understand their reaction, or maybe they were wrong and they did not try to understand you. Still, it couldn’t have been so bad that you had to turn.

If you’re not full of yourself, then what do you call it when you brag about yourself to everyone? Don’t you think you’re a little arrogant?


Leia Organa
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 16
My Dear Leia,

Thank you for your compliments. However, they won't help you. Your rebellion will fall, and I'll be the one to make it tumble!

You are quite a spirited young lady, my dear princess. You would have made a strong Jedi. With your beauty and your unconquerable spirit, you would have been unstoppable. Too bad you are on the wrong side of this war.

Speaking of the Jedi, yes, I did leave because the fools wouldn't listen! They thought I should hide all my feelings to become a proficient Jedi! That, dear Leia, is why the Dark Side is so much stronger than the Light. Those foolish Jedi Knights thought that shielding all emotions will make them stronger! What idiots! No wonder they fell!

I am very sorry to hear about young Luke. He proved himself to be a worthy opponent when he used the Force to destroy the Death Star. I would love to cross swords with him again, this time face-to-face. In spite of all this technology, I still hunger for a real hand-to- hand fight, like the warriors of old. In spite of what you think, I would very much like to see Luke recover fully so we may battle again. I'm sure he would not disappoint me.

So, my dear, you are prepared for another battle, are you? Bring it on, then. Let us see how strong your Rebel engineers are. Perhaps I will again have the pleasure of having you aboard as my guest.


For the Empire!
Darth Vader (NOT Mr. Vader!!!)
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 17
Darth Vader,

Well we’ll just have to see about that, now won’t we. You think that the rebellion will fall? Well even if we did, the Empire is so evil that other people would see what you did to the Rebellion, and then they would Rebel against you…and people would always Rebel against you until you were finally defeated. We have a lot to fight for…and you only fight for keeping us. We (the Rebels) have a passion for defeating you. That passion is going to pull us through. We do not get discouraged, and we will be persistent until the very end. You can count on that!

Ha! You think I would have made a strong Jedi? Well I’ve learned a little about the Jedi…and you know what…I could never have been a Jedi because I don’t even have what the Jedi needed to be a Jedi. I’m not Force Sensitive, and I could never even begin to understand that Force thing. I am sorry to disappoint you on that fact…because if I were a Jedi, you would simply kill me off as you have killed off the rest of the Jedi, and I would no longer be your problem.

But if a person uses the emotions that the Sith use, then you cause so much harm to others. Doesn’t the value of another person’s life mean anything to you at all? I don’t know much about how the Jedi worked, but they certainly did something right because they didn’t have people like you destroying what they were working so hard to preserve.

Well, my friend Luke did recover (although I’m not sure he’s completely recovered) enough to fight in the Hoth battle. How did you like that? I heard that Luke outsmarted your idiot officers and tripped your Imperial Walkers using a tow cable. Ha! You never thought a Rebel would think of such a thing, did you?

You may have taken our base, but we’re going to press on. Most of the people at the base were able to escape…I know you took a few prisoners, but that’s not going to stop us.

And now you’re chasing us through this asteroid field. I know your entire fleet is following us (the Millennium Falcon). I assume it didn’t take you long to figure out that some of the top Rebels are on this ship…but if you’re looking for Luke, he’s not here. I won’t tell you where he is, but he’s not on this ship. You might as well give up the chase.

Besides that, you don’t even know where we are right now. Yes, you followed us into the asteroid field (and lost several of your smaller ships), but Han had this idea of hiding in one of the caves on a larger asteroid. We went inside, only to discover that we had gone into a monster’s throat. We escaped fine…and when we did, I’m sure you spotted us. However…we’re gone now. It’s a puzzle to you, isn’t it?

And you expect me to believe that you were really sorry to hear about my friend Luke? I bet you were! You know something, you’re right…he did destroy the Death Star with the Force…and you know what…he’s going to train to become a Jedi. Hopefully he can take your stupid self down. I’m sure you will get your chance to fight with him someday.

Isn’t it such a shame, Vader, that Han was able to take me in the Millennium Falcon before you were able to capture us? I hope that you never have the pleasure of having me as your guest.


Leia Organa
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 18
My dear princess Leia,

How wonderful to hear that Luke has recovered from his illness! Although I was a bit peeved that he knocked down my little toys. Be sure that he does not wear himself down. When I cross lightsabers with him, I want him at optimum health.

So Han was lucky enough to elude me with his big, bad Falcon, is he? Too bad this victory will be so short-lived. Why go on with this fruitless chase and give yourselves up? Face it, dear Princess, your rebellion is doomed. I do hate for you to be stuck on the wrong side, so why don't you give me your loyalty? I will grant you the reign of power that is fitting to your title of princess. Your are a strong, spirited, lovely young woman, and I truly admire that.

I thank you for the compliment, but I am not the one who is solely responsible for the Jedi's demise. Palpatine did the honor. I merely made it easy for him. Of course, if the close-minded fools had not spurned me from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened! The only Jedi who ever had any faith in me was Qui-jon Ginn. Sure, you can idolize Obi - Wuss and that old fossil Yodel (a/n: Vader is referring to the Hostess snack cake Yodel) all you wish, But Qui-jon to me was the ONLY knight worthy of the name! He was not afraid to show feeling or stand up for what he felt was right!

So Han drove you into a monster's mouth, did he? Ha Ha HA! What a klutz! If the rest of the rebels are that clumsy, then the Empire has nothing to fear!

So why do you come to my side, dear Princess? Those buffoons are unworthy of you. Of course, I do not count Luke amongst those blundering fools. I still wish for him to cross sabers with me and test his might. I am sure I will not be disappointed in either of you.

So, you still run from me, do you? Very well, then, my dear spirited Princess, prepare to be captured again! I look forward to seeing your lovely face once more.

For the Empire!

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 19
Darth Vader,

Yes, well Luke is doing very well, as far as I know. I’m sure Luke knows how to take care of himself properly, and if you will ever fight him, I am sure that Luke will be in fine health. However, I cannot guarantee that he will not wear himself down. If his mind is set on something, he’s going to do it, no matter what. I worry about him sometimes because he tends to go too far sometimes…like participating in that battle right after being so sick. So you didn’t like it that Luke knocked down your “little toys?” Well too bad. You’re going to have to get used to it, because we Rebels are a lot tougher than you think.

Well our plan worked. You’re no where near us, and don’t have any clue what happened to us. You would be smart to give up on us, Vader, and send your fleet off on some other Imperial mission. There is no way you will ever find us now. Even your probes would not be able to detect us. (I’m talking about the Rebellion here.)

Give ourselves up? You have to be kidding! My father is the head of the Rebellion, and besides, the Rebellion is something I believe very strongly in. You brought the galaxy into corruption and fear…and rule it unjustly. Don’t think that you can scare me into wanting to join your side. Why would I betray my father and friends when I feel so strongly about opposing you?

The only person on the wrong side is you. Your evilness will corrupt you until your death. Nothing that you could ever give me would tempt me to join the Empire. I am only a princess because my father rules Alderaan. Your compliments strike me in a very unusual way. I don’t know what your intention was in saying them, but if you truly meant it, then I thank you for them. I would have never thought that one such as you would be able to give compliments.

You expect me to believe that you were not solely responsible for the Jedi’s demise? Sure, Vader, blame it all on Palpatine. I don’t doubt that he had something to do with it, but you certainly went around killing Jedi, just as he did.

I thought his name was Qui-Gon Jinn, not Qui-jon Ginn. I never met Qui-Gon, and I have heard very little about him, so I cannot make any comment about him. You respect someone who stands up for what they feel is right? That is hard to believe, Vader…when you look at what you have done to the galaxy. If you respected Qui-Gon so much, why didn’t you model yourself after him, and also do what was right? If Qui-Gon were to see you right now, what do you think he would say or think?

Be careful what you say about Han. I love him (although I’m not sure he knows that yet), but not like you would care or no what love is anyway.

You say you don’t count Luke amongst those “blundering fools.” Why not? Luke is doing what all other Rebels are doing…fighting for what they truly believe in.

And then you went and compared me with Luke, saying, “I am sure I will not be disappointed in either of you.” Are you trying to get every important member of the Rebellion on your side? It’s not going to work, Vader, so you better give it up! We’re all working hard to defeat you and your evil Empire!

Now you must excuse me; I have a banquet to attend.


Leia Organa
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 20
My dear Princess Leia,

Do forgive my misspelling Qui-Gon Jinn's name. My spellchecker must have overlooked it. But however way I spell it, i will always respect his memory.

Scare you, my dear? How could I ever do that? Don't sell yourself short, Princess. A woman of your spirit and fortitude is incapable of virtually ANY kind of fear. I'll never forget how defiantly you stood against my torturer. If looks could kill, the poor fool would've been dead on the spot.

As for being " just a princess", you are again selling yourself short. Be proud of what you are! You have warrior's blood flowing in your veins, and your not being Force sensitive is irrelevant! And how are you so sure you are NOT Force sensitive? Were you checked? Or has that old fossil Yoda forgotten how? Or perhaps he's afraid to check you, scared of what he may find.

Please forgive my comparing you and Luke. I will try harder in the future not to do that, for you are both special in your own unique ways.

I, too, have a banquet to attend, so I will take my leave. Remember, stand up and be proud of yourself, for you are a greater person than even you can imagine!


For the Empire!

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 21
Darth Vader,

It is still hard for me to imagine you respecting ANYONE outside of yourself. I don’t understand how this Qui-Gon person would have made such an impact on you that you would act like that towards his memory.

I may be a princess, but that does not mean that I am incapable of fear. I am human, and I get scared sometimes, just as everyone else. It is true, though, I can stand up to much without feeling fear…but when my friends lives are in danger, I do get scared. This is especially true in regards to my friend Luke.

And now that you have captured us…you have begun torturing me again…but this time far worse than before. I don’t know what you’re up to, but whatever it is, you’re not going to get any information from me. So far, you have asked me no questions, but I’ll tell you right now; I’ll answer nothing. I don’t care if you’re going to kill me.

You must feel very fortunate that Han had a “friend” such as Lando…one willing to betray us to you. I cannot believe that he did that…and now we are in your hands. But you’d better watch out. I’ve been writing Luke, and he’s training to become a Jedi. I told him everything that was going on here, and he’s going to come and rescue us! You might think you’re all big and bad, but we’ll just see how you do when you fight my friend!

Then you put Han in carbonate, and gave him to Boba Fett. I have every reason to dislike you now…and your stormtroopers had to push me away when I was kissing Han. You don’t know what love is, and you’ll never know. But I love Han very much…

How can you say that I have warrior’s blood in me? My parents both came from Alderaan, which has always been a peaceful planet. My father’s ancestor’s were all rulers of Alderaan, and there has not been a war in all of Alderaan’s history. I heard from Obi-Wan that Force sensitivity is hereditary. Since none of my relatives on either side have ever been Force sensitive, it is impossible for me to be Force Sensitive. My father reassured me about that point, because he knew my mother’s family line as well.

I certainly know that the banquet you were referring to in your last letter, and the one I was referring to, were the same banquet…where Han’s friends betrayed us to you! I suppose you had that bounty hunter, Boba Fett, track us…and he must have followed us to Cloud City…and alerted you when he realized where we were headed…and your fleet was able to beat us there, since you had working hyperdrives, and we did not.

I hear the stromtrooper coming for another torture session. I must go. I’m sure you enjoy seeing Rebels suffer.

My Dear Princess,

And how are your accomodations? I apologize, but there was simply no time to make your room more comfy. No, I did not want for you to kiss that nasty carbonite that was your Han. There's no telling where that carbonite has been!

Yes, I like seeing the rebels cower in my presence. But what I enjoy even more, Princess, is a good hand to hand, mano y mano fight! That is truly what a warrior like myself craves for! You say Luke's on his way here? Excellent! I look forward to crossing lightsabers with him! I do hope he is in good form. I am sure I will not be disappointed in him.

Now now, Princess, you're only making things harder on yourself. My stormtroopers don't mean to be so rough. All you have to do is cooperate with them. Is that so much to ask? If you don't cooperate, you must expect the interrogators to be at least a LITTLE persuasive. After all, it's part of their job. And you must admit, a person as strong-willed as yourself brings a challenge to anyone who wants to bring out information from you. Ah, your spirit is so admirable, my dear. I still cannot believe you were not trained as a warrior. The training would have helped you in dillemas such as this.

Ah, good news, Princess! Your friend Luke has arrived, I am told! Now I can really flex my muscles and do a REAL warrior's work! I do wish you could watch us, but no matter. I must take my leave for now.

For the Empire!

Darth Vader

Note 23
Darth Vader,

My accommodations suit me fine. I’m sure your plan is to kill us all…since you obviously went back on your word to Lando. I you order that Chewie and I be brought to your ship. But as your stormtroopers were leading us down the hall, Luke showed up and followed us to the locked door that led to another passageway. I hope he didn’t go into the Carbon freezing room, and that he realized he was walking into a trap. I tried to call out to him, but I doubt it worked.

Lando has completely surprised me. He had his men surround the stormtroopers that were leading us away, and he told us to go to the south landing platform where we hoped to get to Han before Boba Fett flew away. Unfortunately, we were late. Then we ran back to the Millennium Falcon and made it safely aboard. We are now leaving Cloud City. Too bad for you that we got away.

I only hope that Luke is all right. I worry about him…having to fight something so evil as yourself. I hope he is able to kill you. It would be a good riddance to the galaxy.

You better not hurt my friend Luke too much. I hope you’re having fun in your fight…but you probably thought Luke would be someone you would cut down easily. He isn’t . He is very determined when he has something to do…and is very dedicated…and strong willed…and…and…intelligent…and loyal.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 24
My Dear Princess,

Lando! Blast that turncoat for helping you rebels! Can't that ignorant fool make up his mind, or do his loyalties change with the weather? Mark my word, he will PAY for this treachery! Contrary to what he told you, I did NOT go back on my word to him. HE betrayed the empire! I would be careful about choosing him as your friend, my dear. He may have a knife to stab YOU in the back with.

By now you may have heard about my battle with Luke. He exceeded all my expectations, and was and excellent opponent! He was a bit hasty in some points and left himself open here and there, but that is to be expected from a young, inexperienced warrior like himself. He has more to learn, and when he does, I will determine whether he has earned the priviledge to use my lightsaber once more. Until then, I will keep it safe with me.

Do not worry, dear Princess. I did not kill him. I did, regretfully, get a bit too rough with him. In the heat of the battle, I had forgotten about his lack of experience. Do take good care of him, my dear. He has made me very proud.

Ah, my courier has just given me a note. I shall tell you what it is, so I can revel in your shock! THis is from a very reliable intelligence source that only I know of ( that's right, not even Palpatine knows of this!). Take care, Princess, it may divulge your locatio....oh my kami...by the power of the Force, what have I done...Forgive my abruptness, Princess, but I must take my leave now. This will take some time for me to take this all in.

Farewell.
Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 25
Darth Vader,

My friend Luke has just told me a little about the fight…and he told me that you tried telling him you were his father! How could you suggest something as ridiculous as that? And you know what, Luke told me that he almost believes you…but he’s not completely sure. Why did you do that to him? You had to know he was vulnerable since he never knew his real father…you’re so MEAN! Tell him that you lied to him during that fight.

And even if you were his father, he broke his arm because of you. That’s REALLY acting fatherly towards him. I do not believe that you could ever have married any woman…because you could never love another person. You are purely evil. How could you even claim to be his father? He is the nicest boy I have ever met…and I don’t see any woman wanting to have a child with you! What happened to his mother if you’re his father, and how come you were never there for him?

Lando came to his senses and saw the Empire for what it was. He has now officially registered with the Rebellion, and we can really use his help. Considering the fact that Lando risked his life in order to rescue me…and Luke. You see, it’s kind of a complicated story, but certain events led us to turn the ship back around and find Luke hanging off of the bottom of Cloud City. We rescued him.

We know that your men tried to deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon, but guess what; it didn’t stop us from escaping. We happen to have a very high quality droid aboard our ship named R2-D2, and he was able to reactivate it.

At any rate, as I was saying before…Lando risked his life in order to help Luke, Chewie, the driods, and me…and I am sure that he is very much aware that he can never work for the Empire because he has betrayed it…just as you said! He has no choice now but to work for the Rebellion, or live a life hiding from the Empire without any other purpose. That kind of life couldn’t be very productive.

I am glad that Luke exceeded all of your expectations, and that you enjoyed playing with him just for your sole entertainment. I think that I know Luke pretty well, and let me tell you one thing: Luke will never join the Dark Side. He told me that you tried to get him to do that.

What did you mean when you said, “determine whether he has earned the privilege to use my lightsaber once more.” He NEVER used any lightsaber that was ever yours.

How could Luke make you proud? I thought that you and he were enemies.

You closed your last letter saying that your courier has just given you a note. Well, if that note contained our location, then the letter is wrong now…we have moved from where we were at the time that you wrote the last note. I am sorry to disappoint you, Vader, but you cannot possibly know of our location. However…whatever message it was sparked my interest. You said the words, “What have I done…” What could possibly make YOU of all people regret anything? You are the coldest, most cold hearted, cruelest person I have ever met in my entire life.

You must excuse me, but I must leave now for Tatooine. You can try and capture us if you want, but nothing will stop me from rescuing the man I love from what you did to him! I am heading there with Lando. Luke will join us later. He still is trying to recover from the lies you told him, and he’s taking it very hard. He also needs to wait for his broken arm to get a little better before he can help rescue Han.


Leia
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 26
My Dearest Leia,

How can I ever ask you to forgive me for all I've done to you? I doubt I could ever forgive myself! If I had but known about this, I can assure you I would just as soon cut off my own arm than hurt you. After all, what kind of father would harm his own blood?

That's right, my child. You are my own lovely daughter. Luke may have already told you, but I do hope I have the pleasure of being the first to reveal this to you. I do not expect you to believe me,after all, I almost blasted my courier for such a lie. But I looked deep within the Force, and found it to be true. You and Luke are brother and sister, and you are both my precious children. Ask that fossil Yoda for the truth. He has taken an oath to never lie, and he takes that oath seriously. Or better yet, look deep within yourself, my dear. You do have the Force, you just haven't allowed it to bloom. I'll bet anything the Force told you to turn back for your brother.

Yes, I was regrettably a bit rough with Luke. I do hope he id better. And you, are you well? Although I still wish to crush the Rebellion and continue my plan, being my daughter changes my feelings for you altogether.

I wasn't there for either of you because until Luke destroyed the Death Star, I was unaware that I had children. Someone kept that from me, blast their souls! When I find out those responsible, they will pay! With interest!! How DARE they keep my own flesh and blood from me! At the very least, I would have kept you two together instead of splitting you apart! Obi-Wan did this, didn't he? He never did trust me, not even when I was a child! How DARE he think I would harm my own!?! And I don't know what that old fool put in your head, but yes, your mother and I were married! ANd we DID love each other! I'd love to explain your mother's and my situation, but how can I when you are too close-minded? Not that I blame you, my dear. You were told a twisted side of my story, not the whole truth, therefore your mind has been so poisoned against me, you may probably hate me for life. I don't expect sympathy, but I am willing to tell my side of the story whenever you are ready to listen.

Landau is still with you? Be careful, my daughter. I wouldn't trust him with anything! And take care on Tatooine! That placew is very corrupt. Whatever you think of me, I am an angel compared to the monster that rules Tatooine! The Hutts are slime who bathe in human blood, or so I was told in my youth. Jabba, the current ruler, has, if you forgive my saying so, the morals of a bordello master. Stay away from him, my child.


Your father,
Anakin Skywalker.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 27
Darth Vader,

Would you quit claiming relationship to everyone on the Rebellion? First Luke, and now me. I’m not going to tell anyone what you told me, except maybe my father and his really good friend Mon Mothma. Thinking of her, she wrote me and told me that you captured her!

Oh, come on. You think that you can get us all on your side by saying that you’re everyone’s father. It’s not going to work, Vader. Next you’re going to say that Han and Chewie and the droids are related to you too!

I am sure that you regret torturing us. How could you be sorry? You’re so cruel. Your manipulation is not going to work on me, Darth Vader.

How could I be your daughter anyway? Bail Organa is my father. How could you prove otherwise? There are weak points to your lie, such as how could Luke and I be brother and sister? Luke has not said a word about it to me, and I don’t expect him to. It has to be a lie.

I hope you know he’s in bed right now, throwing up because he was allergic to some pain pill thing, and he is in great pain because of his arm. Anyway, you have confused him so much. He’s not sure who to believe anymore, and he’s so upset.

How can I ask Yoda about something when I have never seen Yoda or said anything to him. He would think I was crazy. It’s not even worth the time, Darth Vader.

I cannot say what made me turn back for Luke on Cloud City. I’m sure it wasn’t the Force. It was just a feeling; simple as that. To suggest that I have the power that Luke has is ridiculous. He has a power that I just don’t understand.

I am sore from the torturing job you and your stormtroopers gave me.

I don’t see how even an evil person could love his family. You’re just mad that Luke and I are on the opposing side, and wish us to be on your side. Sorry, Darth Vader, but my father is the head of the Rebellion, and I have worked so hard to fight for the galaxy’s freedom. I am not going to join the Empire no matter what you try to say.

If Luke and I are brother and sister, then how is it possible for you to be both of our fathers? I mean you said you never knew that Luke was your son (which I doubt is even true) until after Luke destroyed the Death Star. So what are you trying to suggest? That you and your wife didn’t see each other for 9 months, and she never told you she was pregnant the first time, and then you saw her again sometime after one of us was born, and you got her pregnant again, and again never found out? That’s a real loving relationship.

Just for your satisfaction, I’ll also tell Obi-Wan all that you have told me. I am sure he is swamped enough with Luke…certainly he has told Obi-Wan about what you have said to him.

Even if Luke and I WERE your children, of course everyone would think you would harm us. You’re a Sith after all, and you killed lots of little babies and Jedi, and look at everything you have done to the galaxy!

Okay, if you are Luke and my father, then who is our mother? Give me details about her so that I can ask everyone I know if your wife existed, and if she would have been my mother. And what happened to her?

You fall in love with anyone? That’s…that’s impossible. If you had the capacity to love, then how could you treat the galaxy like you have? If you wish to explain about you and my mother, I’d like to hear your story. Whether it would be true or not, I don’t know, but I’ll listen. At least that way I will have more information so I could credit or discredit your story easier.

Han’s friend is named Lando, not Landau. Well Lando was able to get into Jabba’s palace without much of a struggle. He disguised himself as a guard, and I have just gotten into the palace myself, as a bounty hunter. After talking with Jabba and bringing Chewie in as a “bounty,” I spent the night in the palace. When all of those in the palace are sleeping, I’ll sneak over to where Han is being displayed, and I’ll unfreeze him, then all of us will escape together.

How is it that you signed your name Anakin Skywalker? Anakin Skywalker is the man Luke had to do a report on for his school, but that man was not even related to him. You know that Skywalker is the most common name in the galaxy. Claiming yourself as Anakin Skywalker, a man you killed, is not going to convince Luke or me that you are our father. Luke told me that you told him your name was Nigel Reklaw, and also that Skywalker isn’t even Luke’s legal last name. He told me his legal last name is Lars, but that his family used to be named Skywalker, and changed it to Lars sometime in the past.

I think that everyone in the palace is sleeping, so I’m going to go rescue Han now, okay. Bye.

Leia

Note 28
My Dear Daughter,

Are you insinuating that I would claim as family a carbonized rebel-sicle, a growling carpet, a beeping trash can, and a golden nincompoop bot? HAHAHAHA!!! My dear child, you are so humorous! I love that about you! Keep it up and you will go far!

I am saddened by your pain, dear Leia. I assure you, you will be tended to properly, as will your brother.

I kidnapped Mon Mothma because I was told she had knowledge of yours and Luke's births and the circumstances around them. I will leave no stone unturned to find the one responsible for keeping my own away from me!

Very well, I will tell you my tale. It is a long one, I assure you:

I was born Anakin Skywalker. My mother and I were sold into slavery on Tatooine. When I was nine, some Jedi knights came to the parts shop where I worked for my master. One of these knights was Qui-Gon Jinn, who was like a father to me. He bought my freedom and trained me as a Jedi against the wishes of the Jedi Council, who along with Obi-Wan thought of me as a bad seed. It was on Tatooine where I met your lovely mother Padme, whom I thought was an angel come to rescue me and my mother. You, my dear have inherited her beautiful face.

I first tasted the Dark Side when I became a Jedi and found that my mother was kidnapped by Tuskan Raiders. When I found her at their camp, she was nearly dead from their beatings. A red haze filled my vision, and when it cleared, I found that I had killed every Tuskan in the camp. Mother was too weak to see the carnage, thankfully. Contrary to what you may think, I was not proud of that incident, nor did I tell anyone but you and Luke. After I brought Mother home to my father and brother Owen, I put the incident behind me and thought no more of it until long after I married Padme. That's when Palpatine encouraged me to let my feeelings guide me to the true Force. He forgot to mention the Dark Side or the heavy price it holds for going there. When Obi-wan said I betrayed and killed your father, he meant that when I went to the Dark Side the part of me that was Anakin "died" when I became a Sith. Well, Anakin is slowly coming to life, thanks to you and Luke, my precious children. When I complete my plans, we will be together as a family, I assure you! I regret not being there for you two, and it infuriates me further that you two were kept apart! I would have at least kept you together!

You are WHERE? In Jabba's PALACE?!? Leia, have you gone mad? Do you know what he'll do to you if you are captured? Your frosty friend had better be worth this! Get out of there before that pile of excrement finds you!


Your loving and worried father Anakin
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 29
Darth Vader,

Well after receiving a letter from Luke…let me see here, it turns out that you are right…Luke and I are brother and sister, although I still do not understand how that could be possible.

And apparently Luke is convinced you are our father, so I will have to go along and believe him, since he has talked to Obi-Wan and Yoda. I am sorry for not believing you, but you must admit that your story sounded far-fetched.

But there is something I must know. Do Luke and I have different fathers? Because I still don’t understand how you could be both of our fathers unless we have different mothers, or unless, like I said in my last letter, you didn’t see her for the 9 months after our mother was pregnant with me, and then you got her pregnant with Luke. I’m pretty sure I’m older than Luke…because…when I told him it was my birthday, he didn’t say anything about it, and it was my understanding that he was 19 at that time, but I turned 20. The reason I know he was 19 is because a little while before my birthday I asked Luke how old he was, and he told me he was 19…and so did his uncle. I have heard of two siblings being 9 months apart in age so that they would be the same age for part of a year.

Well, you asked about Jabba’s? Our plan failed. Boba Fett, that Bounty Hunter, was at Jabba’s palace too. I’m afraid I gave myself away. I couldn’t hide the fact that I am female, and he noticed. I’m afraid he was suspicious of me…and Jabba’s court hid behind a curtain while I unfroze Han. As soon as I did, they pulled the curtain back, and everyone was watching us, and laughing. At least I was able to kiss Han. It’s been so hard to be without him. I love him very much. I know he was pleased to see me. I tricked him with the bounty hunter suit, but when I took it off, and told him that it was, “Someone that loves him,” he knew it was me.

Han and Chewie have been locked up in this pit, and Jabba has taken me as his slave. I have a chain that connects me to Jabba. He is disgusting…and I can barely stand to be so close to him. I think Lando’s going to try to do something, but he’s really on his own. R2-D2 and C-3PO have been also put in his service. Maybe Luke could help us, but I think he’s still on Dagobah. I’m not sure, though. Jabba’s going to kill us if someone doesn’t do something fast.

I was just trying to say that I found it hard to believe that you could be both Luke and my fathers. That’s all. I also heard that you built C-3PO. You called him a nincompoop bot??

Even if you are Luke and my father, how can we know we can trust you?

I guess that Mon Mothma is our mother. She just wrote me and said that…and that her real name was Padmé, the name of our mother, just like you said. Luke believes her, and even has some proof when they were discussing Luke as a baby without realizing it. According to Mon Mothma, she did not know that Luke had lived (because everyone told her that Luke would die because he was really sick or something as a baby.)

Okay, so your real name is Anakin Skywalker and not Nigel Reklaw? But are you the same Anakin Skywalker that Luke did his report on? You were sold into slavery? That must have been terrible. So a Jedi Knight named Qui-Gon Jinn freed you from your slavery, and now you pour such hate on the Jedi?

So your mother was kidnapped by Sandpeople and was almost killed? Is your mother still alive? What would she think of you if she were alive? Do you think our grandmother would be interested in meeting Luke and me?

It sounds to me as if Palpatine just used you because he knew he could. Do you think he actually cares about you?

However, I’m never going to join the Empire, even if you are my real father. I can pretty much guarantee that Luke will not either.

Yes, I am at Jabba’s palace. I had told you in my previous letter that I would be going there. That is where the Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett, took Han, so that is where I had to go. I love Han, and I was not going to let anything happen to him.


Your daughter,
Leia

PS I still find it amazing that you have the capacity to love after all I’ve seen you do to the galaxy.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 30
My Dearest Daughter Leia,

As I said in my last letter, you and Luke are both my children, and Padme is the only woman I have ever been with. The only solution I can come up with is that you two may be fraternal twins. Perhaps your birthdates have been altered?

So Mon Mothma is realy Padme, is she? I see. Now I understand why I couldn't bring myself to harm her. I believe I subconsciously allowed her to escape. It hurts me deeply to think she hid you two from me because she was led to believe I will hurt you. As angry as this makes me, I cannot bring myself to blame her. I'm sure someone clouded her mind with half-truths while she was in her delicate condition.

I did build C3PO, and yes, he IS a nincompoop for allowing himself to be painted gold! Gold? He was supposed to be a shiny silver! I HATE gold on him! It makes him look like a queen's bauble to be displayed at her leisure! When I finish with my...plans, the first order of buisness will be to have him repainted!

Yes, Palpatine played me for a fool. You are wise beyond your years, my child. And no, I believe Palpatine is for Palpatine, caring for no one else. So be it. I cannot say much, but I will tell you this- I will not be that old fool's lackey for long!

I have not heard from your grandmother in a long time. I guess I was inwardly ashamed of what I've become and did not dare show myself to her. Mother loves children, and though you are both grown, I am sure she would love to see you two. As far as I know, she lives still.

I hated the distrust that the Jedi had of me. They were close-minded idiots who were convinced that I was an evil seed waiting to sprout! Qui-gon was the only one who had any faith in me. They would say that it was wrong to have any emotion at all when you're a Jedi, and neither Qui-gon nor I believe that! True, the wrong emotion can destroy you, but what of the positive emotions, such as love? Can't love empower you enough to destroy evil?

That pile of excrement has my daughter by a leash like some dog? I WILL DESTROY HIM!!! That dung pile will rue the day he touched my own! Blast it, I TOLD you to leave while you can! Fear not, daughter, I will see to it that he does NOT get a chance to lay a slimy paw on you!


Your loving father,
Anakin Skywalker
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 31
To my father Anakin Skywalker,

Thank you for telling the truth and clearing up the fact that Luke and I are both your children. I guess only you would know whether Luke and I were twins or not…because after all…if you only with my mother one night, and there were no other nights 9 months later, then we would have to be twins. Since you would suggest that we are twins, I assume that you did not come back 9 months after the first time to get her pregnant again. Besides that, I have received a letter from Luke, and he says that we are twins. And actually, Luke DOES have the same birthday as me. I found out from Mon Mothma. He was just too embarrassed on that day to tell me that his birthday was that day too. That means that no one changed our birthdates.

And yes, Mon Mothma is really Padmé. You must have known this all along…because I don’t see how you would not be able to recognize your own wife. Honestly, what do you think you would have done if you would have found out that your wife had twins just after you turned evil?

Maybe C-3PO couldn’t help being painted gold. Maybe they painted him while he was switched off. LOL…you think painting C-3PO silver is one of your top priorities. Okay then…

Are you turning back to the light side? Why don’t you join the Rebellion? I would like to have my real father back her. You obviously love our family…so why not join the Rebellion? Do you have any way of killing Palpatine?

I thank you for your comments, father.

I also have some news for you…it turns out that the registration lady at the Rebellion is named Shmi, and I just found out that she is your mother! Mom just told me.

I think you are being too hard on the Jedi. Maybe they didn’t hate you…maybe you just misjudged them. Why did they not allow emotion? I cannot imagine life without emotion. Love can certainly do great things…I have no doubt of that. If you value love so much, why don’t you live your life in that manner? Why don’t you take it upon yourself to destroy evil right now? You have the means, don’t you?

Luke came to Jabba’s palace to rescue us. When he tried to use Jedi powers on Jabba, Jabba hit a floor switch and a trap door opened up right under Luke. He fell in and had to fight this nasty creature called a rancor. It was huge, and it ate one of the pig-type guards who fell in with Luke. Luke grabbed a bone and put it in its mouth, and then ran over under a pile of rocks. I was so scared that Luke was going to die. The creature clawed at Luke, but he picked up a rock and hit it on the rancor’s fingers, and then ran to the other side of the pit. Just as everyone thought everything was over for him, he saw a rock on the ground and threw it at a door switch just as the rancor was right under the door. The rancor was crushed and died.

I was overjoyed that my brother was all right, of course, but Jabba and his staff were not. They have ordered that Luke, Han, and Chewie be taken to this pit called the Sarlacc pit and be thrown into it. The way Jabba described it, it did not sound very nice. We have to go out on sail barges to get there. I hope that there is a way out of this situation. Luke told me he had an idea, but he needs to see how the “execution” is set up first before he makes any moves.

Yes, I am still chained to Jabba. I hope that there is a way I can get away from him soon. I don’t want to bother Luke with it because Luke has something else to concentrate on. It’s entirely unpleasant to be chained to something so disgusting as Jabba, and to be forced to be so close to him. What can I do? But YOU would come here and rescue us. How can you do that? Wouldn’t the Emperor get suspicious? Doesn’t he have you doing something for the Empire at this very moment?


Your daughter,
Leia

Note 32
My Beloved Daughter Leia,

How wonderful to hear that my mother is well! Your grandmother as been through a lot of pain in her life and deserves to be happy. Have you revealed yourself to her? Please do not tell her of my...transformation. It would tear her apart.

My child, your offer to join the Rebellion is tempting, but there is something I must do here first. If you could just bear with me a little longer, my work here will be done, and we will be a family, I can assure you.

Unfortuneatly, you are correct in the fact that Palpatine is keeping me busy with the new Death Star that is being built. Otherwise I would be at Tatooine this minute throwing that pile of slime into his own pit of perdition! However, I have faith in your brother Luke, and his warrior expertise is more than sufficient to help you. He is, after all, a Jedi. And he DID dispatch that Rancor without breaking a sweat, did he not?

Take care, my little princess, and know that I have operatives who have orders to step in should anything get out of hand. Their sole loyalty is to me and no other.


Your worried father,
Anakin Skywalker
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 33
Dad,

Yes, your mother is very well, however, someone has told her what happened to you, so your dream of keeping your identity hidden from her has collapsed. Yes, she knows that I am your daughter, and her granddaughter. She also knows that Luke and I are brother and sister.

Am I to understand from your last letter that you have changed? That you’re going to join the Rebellion eventually? Or did I misread your intentions completely.

Do not worry about Jabba; I took care of him. I guess I should tell you about the Sail Barge assault, even though Luke probably also told you. Jabba’s guards drove the sail barge and parts out to the Sarlacc pit for the execution. They were just about to put Luke in the pit when…

Luke used that board to spring away from Jabba’s people when he was to be executed. He really surprise me. After I saw that Luke was going to be all right, I stopped watching, and I managed to destroy all the lights in his sail barge. I then got behind Jabba and pulled the chain around Jabba’s neck, and strangled him. I’m not sure how I was able to kill him, because you would think it would take more strength than I had. I just pulled as hard as I could, and somehow I imagined strangling him, and I guess that gave me the determination that I needed. I had this weird feeling that I have gotten before, you know the normal feeling everyone gets when they are placed in such a position.

R2-D2 cut my chains, and the droids and I escaped together. Obviously Luke knew I had escaped, because I was on the same little sail barge thing as he was. Luke told me to point the gun at the deck, and then he had me grab onto him, and together we went to the place where mom, Han, and Lando were.

We are now both safely away from Tatooine. Obviously I cannot tell you where, but we are safe. Jabba is dead too.

Well I don’t know what you had to do at the Death Star, but I was right then that Palpatine was keeping you busy with the Death Star. I wonder if he picked up on the change within you as Luke and I both have. Maybe he does not trust you as much as you always thought he did.

Yes, Luke certainly did well with that rancor. I still don’t understand how he remained so calm and so focused during the whole thing.

You have ordered your men to aid US if we needed it?


Your daughter,
Leia

Note 34
Leia my child,

Words cannot describe the amount of pride I have in you! You, my beautiful princess, have single-handedly slain the foul beast that has brought so much misery to Tatooine and especially our family! I KNEW I felt the Force in you somehow! And you doubted me.

Who DARED reveal my transformation to Mother? She did not need to suffer anymore than she already has! That loose tongue will be pulled from its roots when I find the one responsible!!

Yes, I had some secret operatives that were keeping watch over you and Luke aboard that barge. But I see they were not needed. They reported to me that from what they saw of you, they would not dare incite your anger.

I cannot divulge my plans yet, my dear, but let me assure you that all is going well, and we will be all together soon. I have been careful around Palpatine, but I am also being extra careful to not arouse suspicion.


Your father,
Anakin Skywalker

Note 35
Father,

Luke and I and the others have now safely made it to the other Rebels, and we are making plans about what the next Rebel move will be. Han actually surprised me by volunteering to do something that would seem so unlike him.

Yes, I have killed Jabba, but I am not sure…was it the Force that allowed me to do that? You seemed to think that it was because of the Force that I was able to kill him.

Uh…well…you know, it IS your fault that you changed. And as your mother, didn’t you think she would find out eventually? It was actually Luke who told her about your change, but he didn’t mean to. He was so confused after the fight on Cloud City, and with you telling him you were his father, that he told everyone he was writing to that you claimed to be his father. And then he found out that you were his father…and he was so upset with that that he told her. He asked her if it was true when you told him that your name was once Anakin Skywalker. He already knew that she was Anakin’s mother, and then mom told him, too, that you had changed, so he naturally asked Shmi about it. I know he didn’t mean any harm by it, and then of course Shmi didn’t know that you had any children, and thought that Luke was lying to her. She got pretty mad at him for a while, so it had to be cleared up through mom and your brother and Obi-Wan…so she had to be told the truth because of Luke. If you’re so ashamed of your transformation, and wanted to hide it from your mother, then didn’t you think what you were doing was WRONG? I hope you don’t pull Luke’s tongue from its roots…because he meant no harm by it. He was just trying to sort out our family past and get all the facts straight.

It was quite surprising to hear that you had secret operatives that were watching over Luke and I…quite thoughtful of you. You really could be a good father, you know.

I hope your plans are for good, and for what is right….not for evil uses. I know that Luke will not turn to the Dark Side, and neither will I. If you disagree with Palpatine, why not kill him right now.


Leia

Note 36
My dearest Leia,

Perhaps I was a bit hasty in my threat. Rest assured that I will not harm Luke for his asking Mother about me. The boy was merely looking for answers. Had it been anyone else, who may have told her this for the mere objective of upsetting and hurting her, then I would have shown them no mercy!

Strange, ever since I learned of you and Luke being my children I have really begun to care more about my family where before I was too into the Dark Side to care.

The new Death Star is nearly complete, dear Leia. I thought you may like to know this. I also wish to tell you that my plans are also near completion. However, these things take time, my dear, and I must ask you to be a little more patient.

I do wish, though, that you can tell me where you are, so I may visit, for I dare not risk taking you to the new Death Star. I can tell you this, I do hope you're not on a certain planet that is populated by a bunch of teddy bears. If so, you should leave quickly, in case my plans don't work out soon enough. Take care, daughter.


Anakin Skywalker
