“Who are you? And how did you find me?”, he said.
Ahsoka smiled. “I was a Jedi. Now I’m a rebel, just like you.”
Luke thought for a moment then wondered allowed, “How come you’re not a Jedi anymore?”
She looked into those innocent eyes and years of pain filled her with sorrow, “because we were broken…”
Sensing that this was a painful subject Luke decided to change the subject. “So…how did you find me?”
“You’re presence is strong…and familiar. When I heard the Rebellion had recruited another Jedi, I just had to know…”
“Familiar?”, he asked confused.
“You look just like him…”, she almost couldn’t go on, “Your eyes, full of adventure, and your little boyish smile…I wouldn’t have been able to tell you two apart but you’re so much smaller…I guess it makes sense though because your mother…” she trailed off and looked up to see an absolutely starstruck sandy haired boy.
“You…you knew…my parents!!? Both of them!? How? When?…you were a Jedi! Of course!” His excitement was uncontainable and he held on to every single syllable of her following words like it was his life force.
She almost cried. “He was my master…and the best friend I could have ever asked for. He cared so deeply about his friends…his kindness surprised most people, except your mother…”
His eyes filled with tears…Ahsoka had never seen Anakin cry… “My…my…mother?”, he sniffled.
“She was beautiful, kind, brave and the strongest woman I’ve ever known. She made me see that the galaxy was not all black and white, and she made me believe…She brought hope to every citizen of her planet every time she spoke. She was the Queen and Senator of Naboo you know?” She smiled cheekily as she finished.
She wanted to tell him everything, but there was such little time. He had to know how it all happened. This boy was their only hope, she knew it. She remembered every single moment she had lived in a second. All the pain, all the loss, but then the memory of Luke’s mother, showed her all the hope.
“Luke”, she said, “The blood that runs through your veins…will save the galaxy.”
