| The Debriefing--Part Four |
| +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Luke was fighting his father to the death then a few minutes later, crying over his dead body, must be a Jedi thing to be able to do. But Luke's father's name, Anakin Skywalker, that can't be right. Anakin Skywalker I had thought was Luke's father, having the same name and both being Jedi. But Anakin supposedly died in the Clone Wars or the Jedi Purge. Palpatine must have been a strong bad Jedi, what's that Jedi term?, very strong to compel Anakin Skywalker to serve him for over twenty years. I wonder, did Luke see his father before his death, I mean, his father underneath his mask. I probably never will know. Same as the secret that Vader took from Luke's mind. Those two things I don't think Luke will ever disclose to anyone, save Leia. He probably already did if he was going to." Mon Mothma reasoned. "What did Luke do with Vader's body? He wouldn't have spaced it, Luke wouldn't even do that to his enemy's body, let alone his father's." "That clinks something I've been wondering about. There's a spot on Endor with a pile of dark ashes, nothing will grow there, animals stay away from it. Luke Skywalker's from Tatooine, he probably made a funeral pyre there. I hope Skywalker tells people soon, this secret, all secrets, have a way of becoming dangerous if they aren't told. I just hope Skywalker can stand it. May the Force be with you, Admiral Ackbar." Mon Mothma stood to leave. She saluted and left leaving Ackbar to his musings. It had been hard, but they finally had the story of what had happened on the Death Star, but did they have the whole story? Luke Skywalker roamed the halls until he came to Leia's quarters on the Home One. She was leaving tomorrow for a meeting of the High Council and he wanted to see her first. She opened the door and saw his tear-stricken face and red eyes. This could only mean one thing. "You told them?" Leia asked. "I told them." Luke confirmed grimly. |
