Chapter 3

I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay? – Leia Organa – Episode IV A New Hope

Hoth – Rebel Base – Docking Bay

Organa, Obi-Wan wondered, he didn't know anybody related to Senator Bail Organa, whose name was Leia. And Organa wasn't such a much-used name.

"Do you happen to be related to Bail Organa of Alderaan?" Obi-Wan inquired.

"Yes, I'm his daughter." Leia answered; a bit surprised that he hadn't recognized her, the Empire had already put so many pictures of her on the holonet with the biggest price on her head she'd ever seen on any head, and she hadn't been very unknown either at the time that she was Senator.

"What, that's not possible, Senator Organa doesn't have a child, nevertheless one this old!" Anakin exclaimed.

Obi-Wan using the force said to Anakin: Be patient, Anakin.

Anakin glanced briefly at him, and answered through the force: But Master, it's true.

Obi-Wan looked disapprovingly at him.

Leia looked at them with a raised eyebrow: "I don't know what has happened to you in the past twenty years since the fall of the Old Republic, but you seem to be a little behind the times. I was born near the beginning of the Empire, my father was Viceroy of Alderaan. He gave up his post of Senator after Emperor Palpatine self-declared himself Emperor. I was Princess and Senator of Alderaan until the Imperial space station the Death Star blew up my planet three years earlier from now, killing my father with it. Now I work full-time as one of leaders of the Rebel Alliance against the Empire."

Obi-Wan had remained calm during Leia's explanation, his face impassive, but Anakin's face had showed a number of mixed emotions.

"That isn't possible, Chancellor Palpatine is a good person, he cares about democracy! I don't think this sick joke is very funny." Anakin said angrily.

Obi-Wan, inside was starting to get a bit frightened, he could sense the truth in Leia's words. That would mean, they had gone forward in time. He wasn't very surprised about Palpatine though. He had never trusted him in the first place. Anakin would have to keep away from him, if they could ever get back to their own time.

Just then Han came up to them, having tied his tauntaun into his pen. He was still wearing his thick snow jacket.

"What's this here?" he asked.

General Rieekan acknowledged him and answered:" These are people who claim that they are Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, great Jedi Knights.

Han looked shocked "That old hermit, Kenobi?"

He looked at Obi-Wan closely, "Yeah, he does kind o' look like him." He decided to let the Princess handle her royal mess with these people. He had to discuss something very important with the General. He didn't want to have a repeat performance of Ord Mantell.

He looked back at General Rieekan:" Anyway, General, there's no sign of life out there. The sensors are on place. You'll know if anything comes around.

"Commander Skywalker reported in yet?" they started walking away from the trio by the Jedi Starships who were continuing their discussion.

"No. He's checking out a meteorite that hit near him." Han answered.

"With all the meteor activity in this system, it's going to be difficult to spot approaching ships." Rieekan said looking worried.

Han took a deep breath, and blurted out what was on his mind:" General, I've got to leave. I can't stay anymore."

Leia who was secretly listening to their conversation turned her head to look at Han at that. She didn't know why, but somehow she didn't want Han to go.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Rieekan said feeling sad.

Han tried to somehow prove to himself that he had to go explained:" Well, there's a price on my head. If I don't pay off Jabba the Hutt, I'm a dead man."

Rieekan looked understanding:" A death mark's not an easy thing to live with. You're a good fighter, Solo. I hate to lose you."

"Thank you, General." Han looked relieved.

Rieekan decided that he wasn't needed by Leia anymore, so he walked away to the Command Center.

Han turned and walked back to Leia, Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"We haven't met each other yet, have we. My name is Han Solo." He introduced himself to them. "Is there any chance that you're related to Luke Skywalker."

"I don't know." Anakin replied.

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin. "You don't know? Anakin, you're not allowed to have attachments. The Jedi Order forbids it." He sighed looking disappointed. "Senator Amidala is your wife, isn't she? Don't lie Anakin."

„I'm sorry, Master. But I love Padmé, I can't live without her." Anakin said distressed.

"I have to say, I'm disappointed, Anakin."

Anakin looked at the floor. " I'm sorry Master."

Han looked at the pair oddly and turned to and said with as much feeling as he could muster: "Well, Your Highness, I guess this is it."

"That's right." Leia snapped. She was very angry, again Han was showing that he didn't care about anyone but himself.

Han could tell that Leia was not about to be nice to him so he changed back to his sarcastic tone:" Well, don't get all mushy on me. So long, Princess."

Leia stared after him as he headed for his quarters. Leia decided she couldn't leave it like that and hurried after him. "I'll be back." She called behind her.
