Bravo, Gandolf. Nice wrap up for all involved, and LOL on Jar Jar's role in Luke's new dimension.
Looking forward to your next story.

Wonderful!!! Excellent! Stupendous!! I dont know what else to say! Gosh...You gotta complie this story and put it up so we can read it complete anytime! This is one story that I shall keep in memory forever!
What is it called with DLuke and DMara?....Poetic justice? Whatever...but it is a great justice. I wonder if they'd gone insane a couple times from the 'long' life.
Jar Jar Binks as Prez is just....just....unimaginable yet funny.
Poor Thrawn, spending the rest of his life under house arrest. Damn Gandolf, thats a LONG house arrest.
I wanna go see the art meusem!!!
Again Gandolf, like so many others before me, have you EVER considered writing professionally? If you do and you ever get the chance to write SW one day, submit this to Dark Horse and make it an Infinities comic! Its the only way I can think of that can get this story published. I'D BUY IT!
Can we now bug you with questions like all fans do to authors? Plllllllleaaaaase!

Gandalf,
Great ending
and i like the tying up of everythign at the end,
Jar Jar as prez matches up with that other story of yours...:)
I know this sounds odd..but what did happen to jacen?
or are we meant not to know? (its possible i missed it and i'll go back and read..)
Thank You Gandalf for a wonderful story, this is truly a masterpiece...i hope to see a book by you lining the shelves of my house one day
i'll look out for more!...
(now everyone go out and buy SBS its awesome!!!)

Oddly enough, Dark mirror was the first fic I ever read on these here boards. I was deeply intrigued by the turn about of events.
Sadly, I never read another installment since the first one came out last year since I took an unintended sabbatical form this forum for a few months. It got lost over time. Now it's complete and I'm interested all over again to probably just read the entire thing during a span of a week or two and enjoy it as so many others have clearly attested to already. 
Congrats on creating an inspiring piece of fic writing.

Emperor Pellaeon and Empress Miat...Yes, that does seem a fitting future for the revived Empire. Somehow, love and wisdom do triumph. As for Fey'lya's sudden retirement and Wedge's new career...LOL!
Once again, Gandolf, I applaud your gutsy decisions to kill off central characters (and IMPRISON Thrawn for the rest of his life!  I feel very sorry for the beloved Grand Admiral, but it was a logical call.)
Still, you couldn't resist, could you? Even though you're ending the story, you just HAD to drop hints about "the long dark road" Jacen's taken and the day when Luke will have to use his powers for the last time. I feel like the way I did when I finished Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana...Couldn't decide whether to worship the author or throttle him.

DemolitionBoy, JediVegeta, MariahJade2, starwarsfan1000: Thanks
The Butler:
I feel like the way I did when I finished Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana...
“And it is there that they see the riselka, three men see a riselka, sitting on a rock beside the sunlit path, her long sea green hair blowing back in the freshening breeze.”
Oy, I felt the felt same way. Even knowing that the riselka was probably Dianora, it still made we want to track Kay down and make him tell me what happened next! I feel the same way after every Kay book. I wish he’d go back in Fionaver some day and do more stories on the survivors, especially Pwyll Twiceborn. sigh
Jade51999:
“I know this sounds odd..but what did happen to jacen? “
Even I’m not sure. I left his fate deliberately vague. Nor do I know what happened to Wes Janson.
On one hand, it is rather difficult to survive a lightsaber in the chest. On the other, Luke didn’t say that he was dead, and he would know.;)
DarkATX:
I hope you enjoyed what came.
CmdrMitthrawnuruodo:
“Can we now bug you with questions like all fans do to authors? Plllllllleaaaaase!”
Sure. I’d been planning to put up some of my original plotlines one or two unfinished or cut scenes after I finished. I think some of the original plans are surprising in how different they were from how things turned out.
Padawan_Di-Lee, RebelMom:
Thanks you. Now you keep writing yourselves!
Shameless self promotion:
I’ve put up a couple of short humor fics lately. The “Day in the life of…” stories are accounts of a typical day for each of the characters.
A Day in the Life of Luke Skywalker
A Day in the Life of Emperor Palpatine
A Day in the Life of Anakin Skywalker
A Day in the Life of Obi Wan Kenobi
This is the fic that Jade51999 mentioned, that ties loosely into the epilogue. It’s also humor.

Great work. I've really enjoyed reading this over the past year. This is the first, and only AU type story I've read, adn I really enjoyed it all. I can't wait to read your next story.

I, like the others, enjoyed this story and will miss it.
The ending was very well done, and the epilogue tied up the loose ends (no one SHOULD ever know what happened to Janson!).
Well done.

I first started reading your stories towards the end of Phoenix, and I have to admit, at the start I was disappointed that you didn't follow it up and write the sequel. But this story surpasses Phoenix in every category. I've long since almost forgotten about your first story.
If your first story was very good, and your second was incredible, how good is #3 going to be? I guess we'll just have to find out.

Oh man, did I ever fall behind on this one! 
But I have finally finished it all, and I must agree with everyone else. This thing has Epic written all over it. Especially the last post and epilogue. Few authors can be so all-encompassing in their fics the way you are.
Well, while I'd like to talk about all the little details I liked and read today, there's just too many.
Though I must say this. The universe where Jar-Jar rules with the assistance of a good Anakin must be a pretty crazy place indeed. Come to think of it, it almost seems like the antithesis to the old trilogy in some respects. Instead of the Emperor ruling with Vader at his side, you have Jar-Jar.
Might not be such a bad place to live after all.
Congrats on wrapping this all up. Can't wait to see when the next one <about Palpatine right?> comes out.
Though do I sense a sequel dealing with the fate of Jacen somewhere in the future? ?:|
BTW-Ditto what you said about Guy Gavriel Kay earlier.
