Chapter 21: Ending

Five years passed. The Empire soon have been crushed after the death of Darth Sidious. Now a new Republic is made, leaded by Chancellor Padme Amidala. Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi remade the Jedi Order. Luke and Leia completed their training as Jedi Masters and now is aiding in finding students and ex Jedi who may have survived the purge from the original Jedi Temple. Ahsoka was shocked that the Jedi who gave up Order 66 is returning to the Jedi Order.

Luke and Leia stood outside of the Jedi Temple. Both have pursued a life of marriage, Luke marrying Mara Jade who now fully turned against the Empire and her past, and Leia have married Han who gave up his smuggling life. With Obi-Wan and Ahsoka leading the Jedi Order, a new age would rise.

"You know that we're going to have to take Padawans soon," Luke said to his sister, sparking a conversation as he smiled at her.

"Yeah," Leia agreed. "I heard a certain woman is pregnant."

Luke's cheeks turned bright red out of embarrassment. Mara and Luke have been in a relationship shortly after the battle to the Empire and destruction of the Death Star. Leia and Han took a little longer but they had gotten back together and now each is living in happy bliss.

The sad thing was when Anakin died, Padme was in a deep depression, but Luke and Leia have ensure her of happiness and comforted her.

To their surprise, a small figure soon came up with them. She was with politician authority robes. It was none other then Senator Padme Naberrie Amidala. Luke immediately scrolled to his mother slowly and wrapped his arms around her softly and affectionately. Padme smiles and returned the comforting embrace, before the young man walked off.

"Well, how are you and Han and... hmmmm?" Padme motioned to Leia's midsection, which she had followed her eyesight and looked at her growing torso and begin to rub softly. Leia had an bigger stomach due to pregnancy and she and Han will have a baby very soon. Luke had not yet known since they had just started. But Padme was smart and knew, especially when she had gotten a pregnancy test in the trash.

"Things are good and me and Han are looking forward to train them..." Leia smiled brightly. "I bet Luke is too. Won't be surprise if one gain your emotions and become the next Senator."

Padme wrapped an arm around her daughter. "Get ready for the struggles in raising an child. You won't believe how hard it was to raise Luke."

"Yeah, I was quite an handful as an child, you can just ask Ahsoka." Leia agreed, recalling back when Ahsoka had to discipline her in different manners when she was younger, whilst running from the Empire. "But I have a feeling with their father around to spoil them, things will be easier."

"At the very least, you, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and your brother had survive the Death Star," Padme's smile fallen at the mentioned of her husband, who she haven't still fully gotten over. Slowly though, times are getting even better.

"I'm sure you're happy that my father returned to sacrifice himself to defeat Darth Sidious." Leia stated convincingly, pursing a smile towards her.

"I can't imagine the destiny of this galaxy had Anakin not return. Considering the story of what your brother have told me, you would have likely been destroyed." Padme declared, shivering right in her place, and wondering how fate would have played out had things gone that way.

"Yeah, we was quite piss when we've found out they captured you," Leia explained.

"Oh do tell," Padme said, motioning her hand to her daughter who nodded and sat in the nearby bench .

"Well, first Luke was throwing a temper tantrum, I had thought Ahsoka would have to hold him down." Leia joked.

Padme laughed. "Everything's at peace now, due to you and Han and Chewbacca and all the others who have risked their lives, so many friends and family lost for a greater cause. Though, do you think it's just right?"

Mother and daughter laughed for a moment, enjoying the bittersweet moment. Luckily, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka had lifted the attachment code, so they wouldn't have another Jedi falling to the dark side and bowing themselves to the darkness. The older Jedi Order failed, they shall not fall now. Gaining new Jedi, they can easily form a thousand of them soon, then the Jedi Order would fully be completed in due time. With the new Jedi taking aspects of the old Jedi Order, they shall only continue to learn.

Not far away from the mother and duo, Luke decided to check on his wife. For the past years, Luke have managed to help Mara, with the assistance of Padme and Leia and they managed to turn Mara fully to the light. Luke have never been happy with them before, since of their helping. Padme have given Mara assistance and showed her of things outside of the Empire. Leia and Mara would meditated, and Luke would only continue growing closer to Mara.

Luke ran up to Mara and wrapped his arms around Mara and smiled. "How many months do you have until you are completed with your pregnancy?"

Mara Jade sighed. "Just two more months then you can spoil your children," Mara stated.

"Yeah, but let's hope they are not as disobedience as their mother," Luke remarked, raising his hand and placing it on her belly. That remark earned Luke's a whack on the shoulder. "And violent too." he added at last.

"Shut up, Skywalker," Mara growled playfully, giggling as she punched Luke softly on his shoulder. "Though I can't believe that simple boy that I have met on the second Death Star finally became a man and overconfident boy I were married." It was meant to be very teasing so it could get on her husband nerves and it worked.

"Overconfident?! I have you know..." Luke didn't finish that, for he was interrupted by a slight kiss on his lips. Luke returned the kiss, rubbing her back with his glove hands. "I must give my father this," Luke stop kissing her, but still had their arms around each other. "By killing Sidious, I think things turn out better for the galaxy and life for us have only turned better."

At last:

The Padawan Becomes The Master.
