	Wow, you finished this! I really have to sit and think on it some more. Right now I'm too emotional... You really should have broken out the kleenex on this. The scene between Han and Anakin was very powerful. I can see how Han would be very angry, he's had to pick up the pieces every time Leia comes into contact with Vader/Anakin, and he's really protective of his wife. It was also very special how they incorporated Corellian, Tatooin and Jedi traditions for after death ceremonies. The life-telling actually is somewhat like the Jewish custom of shiva. Properly observed, along with the comfort (and food) people bring, it is a time to focus on the life stories of the deceased and what that person meant to everyone. This provides another measure of comfort, that the life meant something and had an impact on others. Well done, and congratulations on finishing this up. -----signature----- Internet Mom to HSG!

	dm1--Thanks for responding! Yeah, it took nearly three years, but I finished it. I like it when people have to sit and think on it. It was very emotional for me as well. Glad you liked the Han/Anakin scene. That was one that I debated leaving out, but I couldn't leave it without closure between them. Han's definitely not one to forgive what Anakin's done to Leia. It reminds me of Leia's conversation with Anakin during Truce at Bakura. Where she says that she can forgive the interrogation and such, but not hurting Han. Yes, I know of the shiva. Several years ago, I read a wonderful book called Kaddish, which was a memoir of a man's coming to terms with his father's death through the process of traditional Jewish mourning. It was definitely meant to reflect both that and the practice of a 'wake.' Thanks again!

	I'll go ahead and be the bad archieologist... (I wanna review! But... why'd I have to read Red Storm Rising first? Oh well... Review it is. ) That first glimpse of Anakin, ruminating on the stars and all that has happened from here to there is powerful. Wow. It was one of the few explanations he could offer for the fact that the Force had been cruel enough to let him live. I'm guessing he doesn't much care for irony about now... The triumph was undeniable, but the victory was inexpressable because the word peace was spoken tonight for the first time as a reality rather than a delusion of grandeur. It had been something unheard of for so long, who would believe it on the first day? And yet... when the shock wears off, it'll be "Oh... now what do we do?" (Or something to that effect...) Leia holding a vigil and her talk with Han... loved that. "It's nothing," he insisted. "Rough night..." Understatement, probably of the year. Am doing this in pieces... more will come. -----signature----- "Say it with me now. Postcard. Zoo. Not.

	Back again... You're referring to The Penitent, right? What's The Penitent? goes and looks... Oh... good fic, that... He approached, his gait about as threatening as an Ewok’s waddle, but the gloved hand that he wrapped around hers was its own silent accusation. “I have my own Imperial reality,” he reminded, “but I’m not the one who wanted to commit patricide in there.” That right there? That made me pause a moment. They both have their reasons for thinking the way they do, and the reasons are equal... equal in the scale of the loss. “I’m not talking about that,” he shot back. “If you’re demanding justice, you are demanding a trial.” “It’s the least he deserves,” she pronounced, forcing her voice to return to a normal timbre. “It’s only what his victims deserve.” To be able to look their punisher in the eye and see for real who that person is... sometimes that's everything, right there. “If Carlist can handle the official arrest,” Leia suggested, “the rest of you will be there for the purposes of keeping him in line. He’s pretty weak, so hopefully Force-choking is not an option.” Right... somehow, I don't think his first thought was "I want to choke the leaders of the Rebellion today", Leia... (Liked that.) Either Vader had learned to aim more effectively or the weapons he used against Luke were much more powerful. Much, much more powerful... and he shocked the heck out of theater audiences, too... I liked the whole capture/arrest. Well done. (Ettiquet lessons with Palpy? Love Han, right there...) “I did not know you existed, since she went to great lengths to keep you safe, but that same care somehow extended to me when I was critically injured on a mission. A medic saved my life several times and I recognized the signature on my heart that your mother always left. It was no surprise, then, to find that when I requested the medic to continue in my service, I found myself facing Padme again.” Woah... was not expecting that... I should have been, since you said she was a medic further on, but... wow... It was the first time that two enemies by principle and family by birth allowed themselves to grieve for the same things. Wow... the whole scene there was powerful, but this... really... wow... A very confused Ewok child running for New Republic President... scary thought, but funny and wonderful addition. Liked that. Now, there was a contingent of six bodyguards and the leader of the Galaxy looked ready to strangle the personnel director in charge of that mistake. Reekian being overprotective and Mon Mothma hating it... yep, could so see that... 'tis a tangled web we weave here, isn't it? And Leia's more POed about it than Luke, I think... Wow moment for me was Mon Mothma seeing Padme in Leia and knowing what Anakin became. "I'm surprised you even remembered the world," she said quietly, "much less our names." "In the early days," he responded, "I could name each one." Her jaw clenched, but she at least returned her gaze to him. "That's not much comfort," she admitted, "but I'll take it anyway." That he still remembers it... that means something, you know? I gave you that scar when I tried to shoot past you to kill your mother, then sent you into the night to die. Why in the name of the Force are you not finding ways to kill me? She's another Luke. It's surprising to feel relieved by that. No... she's a medic. Does that count for more or less the same thing as a Jedi? Probably... but he's kinda right, there. Yes... I'm reading it a little at a time... I missed bunches and am correcting that. -----signature----- "Say it with me now. Postcard. Zoo. Not.

	I remember starting to read this a long time ago, and now I've finally finished reading it all. And...just wow. What an amazing journey you take us on with this story. The last two or three chapters left me in tears, and I don't cry easily. Thank you for writing and sharing this, Ish. -----signature----- "We figured if it wasn't skimming off the top, tax evasion, or unwed mother death sports, it had to be insurance fraud." "No!
