You peered over Grogu’s shoulder staring at the holocams. You could feel it, you knew it was him.
It was silent, the only noise coming from the ruckus below or the occasional coo from Grogu. The dark troopers had stopped their banging on the doors, leaving you and the crew to stare in disbelief.
“Why did they stop?” Fennec asked, tightly holding her weapon. You walked closer towards Din who stood at the entrance as Gideon appeared to be quite alarmed. Cara grabbed her blaster and walked closer to the shut doors while Bo-Katan peered at the cams.
Perhaps you were just imagining it, but you could feel his signature through the Force. But it couldn’t be him, could it?
You could sense that Bo-Katan seemed to be on high alert, her body language proving so as well as she muttered, “A Jedi?”
Was it really him?
“That’s impossible,” you demanded, “How could that be?”
“The Jedi temple,” It whispered.
No one answered as they clutched their weapons, ready for attack. Until suddenly you hear shots being fired behind you. You turn to see Moff Gideon firing at Bo-Katan, the child close by. Igniting your lightsaber, you dive in front of Grogu and deflect each shot successfully.
“Drop it!” shouts Fennec as everyone points their blasters towards the man. You can sense his discomfort as you slowly stand up, he’s ready to run away. You slowly move towards him as he raises his blaster to point up to his chin and with a grunt, you swing at it letting it fall towards the floor as you swiftly knock him to the ground with the hilt of your lightsaber.
Then you hear it. The unmistakable sounds of a lightsaber coming into impact with an object of some sort. The dark troopers, you figure. Grogu edges towards the holocams, mesmerized by the swinging of the saber it seems, as you and Din watch carefully. The figure is draped in what you figure is a plain and black cloak along with a glove that holds on tightly to a lightsaber.
“It’s him,” It whispered again, “He’s here…”
You watch as the figure quickly moves towards the lift, his cloak dragging behind him.
“He’s here…” It repeated once more.
The footsteps of the dark troopers alarm you until they come to a halt, before moving away from the door. How close was he?
You peered over Grogu’s shoulder staring at the holocams. You could feel it, you knew it was him. The door of the lift opened and although you couldn’t see his face you knew it was him as the whispers grew louder, repeating the mantra.
Once more, the group had their weapons at ready although you knew it would be futile. What felt like hours passed as you watched the holocams, you felt helpless, you knew he was powerful, but there were too many dark troopers. Was he powerful enough?
The voices did nothing to quell your anxiety, and you found yourself growing rather annoyed, as It repeated, “He’s here…”
“He’s here.”
The elevator dinged and you watched as he swiftly attacked the dark troopers one by one, deflecting their shots with ease using a mix of his lightsaber and the Force.
You heard the last dark trooper struggle against the Force, the sound seemed to have amplified as It had finally quieted down, and drop to the ground. Grogu turned around and stared into your mind as you heard a whisper, a thought.
“A Skywalker?”
You nodded, quickly glancing at Din who seemed to realize what was happening as Grogu motioned towards the doors. You quickly picked up the Child, placing him in Din’s arms as you walked towards the doors and ignited your lightsaber. Everyone was waiting quietly, anticipating their next moves.
“Open the doors,” you spoke loudly. You didn’t even know what to suspect but you knew, either way, he would be entering through those doors whether you gave him permission or not. “I said, open the doors.”
Fennec glanced at you, “Are you crazy?”
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Din slowly place Grogu in one of the chairs and made his way over to where you stood, but not before pressing the button granting him entrance to where the 8 of you stood. Din glanced at you and nodded, seemingly calm, as you heard the hissing of the doors.
You saw the green light that emitted from his saber seconds before you saw the actual cloaked figure. He extinguished his lightsaber and put it away. It felt like hours had passed until he slowly peeled the cloak away from his face, revealing the man you once loved.
“It is him!” It whispered, “Trust…”
He made eye contact with you first as he clasped, then decided to unclasp his hands motioning towards you as you stumbled, then jogged, towards him in disbelief. Luke stepped forwards closing the distance as the two of you nearly fell into the other’s arms. It was as if you had never parted on Hoth. You could feel the warm tears flowing down your face dripping on to his cloak.
“It’s really you,” you whispered with a big grin on your face.
“It’s really me,” Luke answered meeting your eyes with his bright blue ones with an even bigger grin on his face.
You heard Din grunt behind you, and you could sense the jealousy coming off of him. You knew Luke could feel it too as he let out an awkward chuckle then cleared his throat. As you slowly backed away glancing around the room sheepishly, Luke stepped back and clasped his hands as he had done in the beginning choosing to focus on Grogu.
“You’re a Jedi, aren’t you?” questioned Din.
“I am,” answered Luke as he stretched out his hand towards Grogu. “Come, little one.”
Din turned towards the Child slowly as he cooed, “He doesn’t want to go with you.”
“He wants your permission, stated Luke, “He is strong with the Force, but talent without training is nothing.” He motioned towards Grogu once more, “I will give my life to protect the Child...but he will not be safe until he masters his abilities.”
Although it was the right thing to do, it took everything in you to not beg for more time. The three of you had just been reunited, it wasn’t time.
“It is Time. It is better this way,” It whispered.
It felt like a dozen cycles had passed as you watched Din pick up Grogu and make his way towards Luke.
“Hey, go on. That’s who you belong with,” reassured Din, “He’s one of your kind.”
You walked over to Grogu and gently placed one last kiss on his head, “Be strong, little one.” You could sense he had many questions but you attempted to quell his fears, “No, not me. I can’t train you as well as Master Luke can,” Before stepping away to allow Din to resume saying his goodbyes to his son.
“I’ll see you again,” Din whispered as you and the rest watched on, “I promise.” In response, Grogu started to coo and reached out to his father. Nothing, not even the Force, could’ve predicted that Din would take off his helmet at that moment. All of you turned regardless, to give him some privacy but he motioned towards you as all you could do was stare at his gorgeous brown eyes with a messy tuft of brown hair piled on top of his head. Blinking yourself out of your stupor, you steadied yourself and walked towards your clan of three as Grogu reached his small hands out to touch both of your faces.
“All right, pal,” said Din as he started to tear up.
“It’s time to go now,” you concluded for the both of you. If you had spent any more time, you’d refuse to let go of both Din and Grogu altogether.
Grogu whined loudly as Din tried to quiet him down, “Don’t be afraid.” And with one last glance, he nodded and put him down. Grogu tugged at your pant leg but as soon as R2-D2 popped out, he let go and went after the excited droid, happy to be reunited with a familiar face. The group continued to watch on, and Luke stood stoically with his hands still clasped, choosing to nod towards Din.
He picked the Child up and went to walk back to the lift, but he seemed to remember something as he stopped and turned back around, “Amara?”
You froze. You hadn’t heard him say your name in...Blast! You couldn’t even remember the last time you had.
Sensing your concern he added, “Will you be joining us? I know you doubt yourself, but I believe you would be a great addition to the group.”
You glanced around the room before quickly answering, “I have some unfinished business. Maybe in a couple of cycles?” You offered him a smile before remembering, “May the Force be with you. And give Leia and Han my love, would you?”
He smiled before adjusting the Child and nodded, “May the Force be with you.”
As you watched Luke and Grogu leave, you felt a warm hand and fingers interlace with yours. Thank the Maker, you still had Din.
