“Members of the Alliance to restore the Republic. Our victory today must be celebrated, but amid the happy cheer we must not forget the reason why we are here. Our work is not yet finished. We can not yet rest… Like many of you, I have been fighting wars all my life, and I long for peace. It is as sad as it is ironic, that to regain peace we must fight for it.” 

“So stand. Their leader may be gone, but the poison of the Empire is spread deep throughout the galaxy. And this bold Rebellion is what is going to drive them out. We must finish what we’ve started here today. Word of our victory will spread quickly through the galaxy. The Empire’s ranks will fall into chaos, and we must act upon that chaos, and control it.”

“Remember our place, remember our purpose, and let us fulfil it. Remember what we fight for. Remember who we fight for. We are gathered here so that dictatorship and oppression can end, and so that democracy can resume.”

“Hold each other close tonight. Revel this victory. But rise tomorrow, to fight another day.”

As Senator Mothma wrapped up her speech, babble broke out in the briefing room once again. The Rebels had finally won. The fight they’d been fighting forever, was beginning to end. 

Hera, Zeb and Rex returned to Lothal to pick up Sabine. 

Lea and Han disappeared into the Falcon as Lando loudly proclaimed that they might have had a better time if the ship was still maintained by him…

Chewie contacted his family on Kashyyyk after years and set off to help them fight the Empire there. 

Luke hopped into his x-wing and watched the droppers getting ready in the hanger for the next day’s adventures. His job wasn’t finished either. He still had so many unanswered questions…and he had someone to meet, he though grimly. 

Ahsoka would be waiting.
