I would like to know if there is anymore to this story or another sequel to this story besides the other three.

 

I do have something else in the works at the moment but its not posted yet. Thanks for upping

 

I am writing a new post at the moment and it should be up sometime this weekend

just a warning I am skipping some scenes because this fic has been going on for a year now so I'm picking up the pace.

JediFalcon

 

Leia stretched out on the bed in the Falcon as she thought about Han. She wanted to be with him and yet here they were again travelling to some distant planet to free the Noghri from the Empire. Except this time it won?t take much convincing since they owed her father a life debt. She rolled off the bed and stood up. She walked out of the bedroom and entered the main living area where her mother was sitting quietly on the couch. Leia smiled as she sat down beside her. ?I have a feeling if your father knew what we were doing he would come after us.?

Leia nodded in silent agreement but she also wanted to help the Noghri?s. ?I know he would.? She prayed if Han ran across her father?s path he didn?t hurt Han. ?I fear I won?t make a good mother, I find myself running off all the time to save the galaxy.? Leia said quietly.

Padme took Leia?s hands into her own, ?I know your scared but I also know you will make a great mother. Don?t ever doubt yourself.?

Leia smiled as Kay and Dev walked in. ?Thanks.? She glanced over at Kay and Dev. ?So do you think that Thrawn will show up??

Kay shook her head with a sad smile. ?There?s a chance he might decide to pay them a visit. We would be in trouble if he did, I suggest we use the mesh and electric netting to hide the Falcon with.?

Leia nodded in agreement with her sisters? assessment. ?I just hope this can be a smooth in and out mission, but with three jedi I have my doubts it will be anything but easy.?

Padme smiled and nodded in agreement. ?Actually four jedi, I am force sensitive but the council refused to train me because the midi chlorian account was too low.?

Leia frowned in her mothers? direction. ?I didn?t know that.?

Padme smiled easily, ?why do you think your father and I are alike? We get into enough trouble to last more then a life time.?
--------------------------
Three days later Sena walked into the Luck, ?our Commander wants to see Han and Anakin first.?

Han nodded as he followed Anakin out of the ship. He wondered who this mysterious commander of theirs were. Han looked around him wondering what planet they were on. He followed Sena into what appeared to be an office, he noticed that this place was a fold down on the last minute type of base, but there were quite a few things to suggest that they?ve been here for a while. They must move around a lot he thought as he caught site of an older man with white hair. His jaw nearly dropped open, ?Senator Garm Bel lblis.?

?Hello General Solo, Master Skywalker Welcome to Peregrines Nest.? Bel lblis said with a smile. ?Somehow I don?t think you will remember me, you were eleven the last time I saw you.?

Han nodded in agreement as Garm continued, ?you asked two very deep questions that looked to be promising. Do you remember those two questions were? Though I am expecting you not to remember.?

?No sir I don?t.? Han replied with a frown. It was a blank.

?Like I said, I didn?t think you would remember. The first regarding the ethetics of the anti-alien bias starting to creep into the Republic and the second involving about some very specific instances of corruption involving my colleagues in the senate.?

Han nodded as it slowly came back to him, ?I think one of my friends dared me to say it.? He glanced at Anakin wondering what was going through his mind on the subject. ?They probably thought I would get into trouble.

?Setting your life pattern early?? Garm asked dryly, ?those weren?t questions I expected to hear from an eleven year old, it did intrigue me to keep a loose eye on you.?

?You probably weren?t impressed with what you saw.? Han said with a small smile.

?I was disappointed when you were kicked out of the navy, you showed real promise as a loyal officer, but maybe its good that you didn?t stay.? Garm said with a smile.

Han nodded in agreement as he nodded over to Anakin, ?I guess you know by now that Master Skywalker is my father-in law??

Garm nodded, ?Yes I heard that you married Lord Vader?s daughter, when I learned

 

?Actually four jedi, I am force sensitive but the council refused to train me because the midi chlorian account was too low.?

Leia frowned in her mothers? direction. ?I didn?t know that.?

Padme smiled easily, ?why do you think your father and I are alike? We get into enough trouble to last more then a life time.?

I always did like the idea that Luke and Leia's mother was Force strong. And Force strong people tend to always be the ones who get into the most trouble (except Han who the Force just likes to keep in trouble ).

?Come and I shall train you what your father does not know.? C?baoth said

*shakes head* Luke, Luke, Luke. Why must you always want to save people? Take his words as a hint and high tail it out of there!

Great post, Falcon! Glad this story is back on track, too!

 

What his father didn't taught him, was the Dark Side and the foolishness of the old order.

There is nothing to learn from that clone except to further pain tolerance.

Thanks JSM and I heard that Padme is force sensitive and the council really did turn her down because of the mid chlorian count

Thanks Vadey and yeah trust me. Luke might or might not believe what he has to say but we'll see

 

Good post.Will padme get a saber?

 

I have another post in the works. So soon I hope

and maybe I'm not sure though. Thanks for the feedback Yoda

 

look at what I stumbled across

--------------------------------
Leia looked out of the Falcon as they?re escort led them to Khabarakh?s clan. She breathed deeply as she caught site of a brown planet. ?Its mostly dead, I detect very little life.? Dev said with a worried expression.

?Same here, so what do you think?? Kay questioned from sitting behind Dev.

?I think we might have to relocate the colonies to a different planet.? Leia said with a sigh. Padme nodded in agreement and she shook her head as Chewie told everyone to buckle down. Dev and Kay went to the back where they strapped in waiting to land, Padme and Leia stayed up front. Chewie brought the Falcon in for a smooth landing and the ship touched down with no bumps. ?Thanks Chewie.? Leia said with a grateful smile.

Chewie wolfed a welcome as Leia and Padme stood up and they walked back to were Kay and Dev were waiting for them. She glanced at her bodyguard and smiled. ?Lead the way Khabarakh.?

?Follow me daughter of Vader.? Khabarakh said with a bow, they followed the Noghri out of the Falcon to be meted by a welcoming party. Kay waited anxiously for someone to make a move first.

?Lady Vader Welcome to Honoghr. I am the Maitrakh, you have placed our lives into danger by coming.? A female said as she stepped forward.

?We understand that Thrawn might drop by, my daughter and her friend will be preparing the Falcon for proper storage, it will not be detected by fly bys.? Padme said with a smile. She turned to Kay and Dev. ?Get the netting and get the Falcon covered.?

?Yes Padme.? Dev answered as Kay acknowledged and followed Dev up the ramp, two minutes later dragging the netting back with them.

Leia rubbed her stomach hoping nothing would happen, ?We?ve come to help you. I want to try and make your planet habitable again or?? Leia sidestepped the other thing she was thinking.

?Or we might have to find a new planet to move your people too.? Padme filled in knowing why Leia hesitated.

?The kin of Vader would be willing to help us?? The Maitrakh asked in surprise.

?Yes, anything to help your people lead a better life.? Leia said with a smile. ?We will have some tests done and we?ll go from there.?

?Very well for now I accept your proposal.? Maitrakh answered with a feline smile. ?If you will follow me we will get you set up for a place to sleep.?

?I accept your hospitality.? Leia replied with a smile, it was better then she was hoping for.
------------------------
Anakin and Han walked out followed by Bel lblis, ?Lando, I would like you to meet??

?I thought you were dead.? Lando blurted out with is jaw dropping.

?So I did, I was kicked out of the senate and was forced to move in with the Rebellion.? Bel lblis replied with a smile. ?I would be honoured if you would join us General Calrissian.?
?Just call me Lando or Calrissian, General is no longer proper for me these days.? Lando replied with a tight smile.

?I understand Calrissian, same with my title as Senator. Please follow me.?

All three followed him out of the room and towards a bar setting. Han noticed an old clock sitting on the wall. ?I like what you did with the place.? Lando commented as they sat around a table.

?Thank you Calrissian.? Garm said with a smile.

?What is it you need to talk to us about?? Anakin asked as he accepted his drink. He took a sip and swallowed the fiery liquid down his throat.

Han made a face trying not to laugh, he knew that Anakin wasn?t much of a drinker. ?Talk about my return to the New Republic.?

?I see.? Anakin replied with a frown. ?And what exactly is stopping you now??

?It?s a personal matter.? Bel lblis replied with a frown matching Anakins.

?I understand and respect your privacy.? Anakin said with a tight smile.

?Thank you.? Bel lblis replied. ?And what about yourself these days? I hear that Counsellor Organa Solo is pregnant with twins.? He looked at Han with a smile. ?And a big congrats on that.?

Han glanced mischiefly at Anaki

 

Something tells me Mara is in trouble with her fellow employees!

I hope Leia, Padme and the others are off planet before Thrawn comes.

Great post!

 

Thanks JSM for the feedback

umm what happened to all of my readers

 

I'm here, too.

I've read when you posted it, but from a publik computer.I wasn't loged in.

When I was home again I forgot about replying. Im deeply sorry , I know how confuseing it is, when your costumary readers don't reply.

Of course it is a good post as always, but hard to coment on. All plot strings are telling me to wait until I see, where they are going from here on before I say something about them.

Again I'm sorry, but this only means that I am eagerly awaiting your next post.

Vadey

 

Don't think Mara will be getting a pay raise from Karrde any time soon. Thanks for the Pm.

 

Thanks Vader, I have some things in mind thanks for the feedback and thats ok

Your welcome Yoda and thanks for the feedback

 

lookie lookie what I stumbled across
-----------------------------
Luke sat beside C?baoth as he handled case after case. Luke felt tired and bored, is this what judging was about? No compromises. And why were the people scared of the Jedi Master? Something was not right here, maybe his father was right and that the clone was beyond hope. ?Jedi Skywalker, I would like you to handle the last case.?

Luke nodded as he stood up and stretched, he took the seat that C?baoth was in and sat down in the warm chair. He looked at both and nodded to the first for an explanation.

?He broke my fence and now his animals have destroyed my crop.? The first man complained.

?I did not destroy his fence, one of my bulls rammed the fence.? The second man began to explain.

?Which you should be repairing my fence to keep your animals out of my crops.? The first man interrupted.

?Stop.? Luke said as he looked from man to man. He stretched out with the force and felt the flow of which way this was to be handled. ?I will come out in the morning to take a look.? Luke pointed to the second man. ?You will repair the fence since your bull did the damage.?

Both men bowed respectfully and walked out. ?That is enough for today, we will resume tomorrow morning.? C?baoth?s voice called out. He stared hard at Luke, ?Whats with the hesitation. You could?ve gotten the information from both of them by looking into their thought patterns.?

Lukes eyes narrowed as he looked at C?baoth, ?I would?ve been violating their rights.? Luke replied calmly.

?Next time you do as I teach you and not want what you want.? C?baoth replied angrily. ?Leave my presence until I call you again.?

Luke stood and walked out feeling dejected by the Master. Why should he? He learned a lot from his father and he?s never looses his temper like that anymore. He walked to the x-wing and climbed in. ?Artoo, run a scan of the surrounding area, and see if you can detect anything that is dark like the cave on Dagobath.?

Artoo replied with a negative. ?Nothing huh?? Luke sighed heavily as he thought about leaving but wanted to see if he could help the clone despite his fathers? reassurances the clone could not be saved. ?Alright, stay here I will be back.?

//WE SHOULD LEAVE, WHAT WOULD ANI SAY//

Luke smirked thinking about his fathers childhood nickname. ?My father would say bug out, but I want to stay.?

//Luke//

?I got to go. Keep an eye out, if anything unusual happens contact me.? Luke said as he jumped out of the cockpit. He heard an acknowledging whistle as he began to run back to the castle.
------------------------------------------
Mara stood waiting for Aves to come back with the headhunter and a Ysalamari. She was about to face a crazy jedi master, but she also needed Lukes help. She wondered if Aves trusted her enough and she was beginning to wonder if he would show or leave her hanging. She looked up at the sky and caught site of a fighter beginning to land where she was standing, relief washed through her. She watched the fighter land, and Aves climbed out looking at her with betrayel in his eyes. ?I don?t know which side your on anymore, but if your on our side I wish you luck, if not I hope you burn in hell.?

Mara nodded in understanding, ?Is the Ysalamari on board??

?It is.? Aves replied with a tight grin. ?Whats it for anyways??

?That?s for me to know and you?ll find out once this is all sorted out.? Mara replied with a smile. She walked towards the fighter, ?I?m going to try and get Karrde back.?
-----------------------------------------------
Padme sat by Leia as they watched Threepio tell about how Vader made a final stand against the Emperor and saved his son. Leia sighed feeling sadness lined with happiness that her father was able to find some peace while serving the New Republic trying to clean up his mess. She watched as the children stood and left the house. ?The lesson is over for the day and the children are now going to do their chores.? The Maitrakh said as sh

 

Nice job! Glad to see that this one is still going.

More soon!

 

Thanks Arwen for the feedback I want to finish this story, but I think this is the only trilogy book I will be trying anything else will be single books cause its been going on for well over a year.

 

The Skywalker family is always adventurous, isn't it?

Ani wont be happy when he finds out what they are all up to.
