Prologue: The Twins

Like wildfire, the news of the supposed Jedi rebellion spread throughout the Holonet to the farthest points in the galaxy. Along with this news, there was also the shocking announcement of the Republic being dismantled and being rebuilt as a galactic Empire in its place. This news left many including Adam and Astra Pines afraid of the future for their children. They knew that they were far from the core worlds and living a normal life on Lothal, they fears that those who served the Emperor would one day come for their newborn twins.

While the two new parents where not sensitive to The Force, they quickly realized that their children were very much attuned to it much like their great-uncle who was a skilled Jedi Master and a war hero in the Clone Wars, but now were more then likely killed during the purge of the Jedi. When their son was upset or hungry, his cries of anger made the whole house shake until he was given what he wanted and their daughter could make her toys dance in the air as she played with them. It was because of their very gifts that Adam and his wife hide their children from their friends and neighbors, for they knew that if someone saw the infants using their powers in public, they would report it to the Empire at once and their children would be taken away from them to either be experimented on or worse.

Just then, they heard a knock at their door. Astra quickly gathered up her babies and hide with them in the master bedroom while Adam drew his blaster and kept it hidden behind his back as he cautiously approached the front door.

"Who is it?' he asked, trying to sound as normal as possible as he did

"It's me Adam, open up!" came a familiar voice from the other side of the door in a hurried tone

Upon hearing the voice, Adam quickly unlocked the door, letting it slide aside to reveal his uncle Stanford standing before him. His Jedi robes were scorched and his face and arms where covered in cuts and bruises.

"Uncle Ford, you're alive!" Adam gasped in amazement

Ford said nothing as he quickly rushed into his nephew's home; ducking his head out of the doorway to make sure no one saw him enter the house before closing the door behind him. Upon hearing the conversation from where she, Astra left her children sleeping on her bed before leaving her room to see her husband speaking with his uncle in the living room.

"What's going on Ford?" his nephew asked "We heard their was a Jedi rebellion and—"

"There was no rebellion!" Ford cut him off sharply before calming down "Look, you two need to sit down. I have a lot to tell you both"

And so the Jedi Master told them everything. He told them of how his own Clones that he had fought and bled with suddenly turned on him, of the massacre at the Jedi Temple and of the Emperor's true intentions.

"This is insane!" Astra said, clearly taken aback for all of this information "If what you say is true, then why hasn't the senate stopped Palpatine from gaining this kind of power?"

"They are clouded by the sway of the Darkside, but there are those small few in the Senate who oppose this new Empire" Stanford explain before continuing on with what happened to him "After I escaped from my Clones Troopers, I received a message from Obi-Wan Kenobi saying to stay away from Coruscant at all cost. I don't know how many other Jedi survived this slaughter"

"If you need a place to stay uncle, then your more then welcome to live here with us" his nephew offered

"I'm sorry, but I can't stay" the Jedi Master replied "if The Empire discovers that I'm here then they'll arrest you both for treason or worse. I have to go into hiding immediately before I'm discovered and put you both at risk"

"Then why come here at all?" Astra asked "If you're afraid that you'll be found out, why run the risk that just to see us?"

Unfortunately, Adam had already figured out the answer to that question. He silently looked over to his uncle, who glanced back at him with a solemn look in his eye, clearly ashamed at himself for what he was about to do.

"You didn't come here to see us…" he finally said slowly "You came for the children"

"What?" Astra asked, stunned by what he husband had said

"Your children both have a strong bound with The Force, Astra" Stanford began "I need to take them somewhere safe so that the Empire may never find them"

"That is out of the question!" the mother of the twins shot back as tears began to form in her eyes "Your not taking our children off to who knows where!"

"I understand your upset but—"the Jedi attempted to reason

"No you don't!" she shouted at him as she shot upwards from her seat "You Jedi have no idea what it means to have a family or have children!"

"If I don't hide your children, The Empire will find them and have them killed!" Ford argued "Is that what you want?"

Astra didn't say anything, the tears that now flowed freely from her face said enough. As Adam held his wife in comforting embrace, it made Stanford truly realize what he was doing to his nephew's family, but if the children were to survive under in this new order then they had to stay out of sight and under his protection.

"We'll never see them grow up Adam…" she wept softly into his chest

"The important thing is that they will grow up" Adam assured her gently as he kissed her forehead

The mother of the twins dried her eyes and slowly nodded in understanding, while the woman was still saddened by the news that she would have to give up her newborn children, she knew that as long as they were kept safe from harm she had done her job as a mother. With that, she silently led the Jedi to her bedroom in order to show him his grand-niece and nephew.

Upon stepping into the room and seeing the newborns up close, Stanford could feel The Force radiating from them as if they were both already knights of the now ruined Order. As the babies where both sleeping peacefully on the bed, the exiled warrior noticed a strange mark on the boy's forehead. He carefully picked up the child in order to inspect the birthmark on his grand-nephew's head.

"It's the big dipper" Astra informed him, still upset by what she had to do "we thought it was strange when he was born with it, but we thought it would be a cute nickname for him when he was a little older"

"What's his real name?" Stanford asked

"Ren" the child's mother answered as she looked at her son "His name is Ren"

"And the girl's name is Mabel" Adam continued

"The Force is strong with them both" the Jedi commented before looking over to his nephew and his wife "They will be well looked after, I promise"

"Where are you going to take them?" his nephew questioned

"To the forest moon of Endor" Stanford answered as he picked the girl with his other arm "I'm close with the Ewoks. We'll be safe there"

"Can we…can we say goodbye to them?" Astra asked sadly

With a nod, Stanford handed both children to their parents to allow them to look upon them one last time. Tears' where once again welling up in Astra's eyes and even now Adam was feeling the full effect of loosing his offspring. They then carefully handed both babies to there great-uncle, who inwardly wanted to change his mind and leave the children with their parents, but he knew better then to do that; for he knew that the Emperor would most assuredly kill them all if he sensed their presence.

"I swear to you both that no harm will come to either of them as long as I live" the Jedi said to them

"Thank you, uncle" Adam said "May the Force be with you"

"And with you both as well" Stanford replied

With that, Stanford left the Pines house in order to begin his journey to Endor's moon and begin the training of his two news students in the ways of The Force and the Jedi.
