To those of you who wanted Lita to join the Ghost Crew I'm sorry to disappoint you, but as a lot of you know the reason why she didn't join them is because she didn't want to put them in more danger. Lita knew that if she stayed with them they would all be at risk. But don't worry she will see them again, especially Ezra.

RIP Lisa Marie Presley My heart goes out to her mother and Elvis's wife Priscilla and all of her family.

It was no problem for Lita asking the Ghost Crew to drop her and her companions off on Naboo. Half of her was sad to leave, but she also knew it would be dangerous for them if she would remain with them. What if someone from the Empire, who knew of Lita, found her with the Rebels? Or worse what if her father found her with the Rebels? Lita would most likely be in a lot of trouble with her father. And worse, Ezra and the others would definitely be in more danger than they were now. No. She had to keep them safe, especially Ezra.

Lita was wearing her white cloak with her hood up as she walking through Theed. She still had her black hooded cloak but it was packed away in her bag along with her other clothes. Lita made a stop at a vender who was selling different meats and she bought a deep fried nuna leg for Rori, who hadn't eaten anything for a while, and tossed it to her nexu, who caught it in her mouth.

Lita smiled softly and stroked Rori under her chin, "I bet you've missed it, didn't you girl?" Rori gave an affectionate growl. Lita sighed sadly, "I know I've missed Naboo too."

Lita then looked at Deethreepio, "I'm glad that restraining bolt got taken off you. It was really nice of that Twi'lek, Hera, to take that thing off before we left."

"As am I," D3PO agreed.

"And don't worry Deethreepio," Lita said to her droid, "We'll also see if we can find a place where you can get cleaned up. Maybe a hot oil bath?"

"Oh, the maker! That would be wonderful," the white protocol droid replied, and then said with worry in his voice, "But I must say that we mustn't stay here for too long."

"I know that Threepio," Lita said, "I also know that I can't stay with my family here any longer, especially if Father decides to come here for me. But I still want to check to make sure my family is okay, I have to make sure they're okay, it's been over a year. I hope they're okay."

She then hears a familiar dark voice calling out to her, "Lita."

Lita stops knowing who it is. "Father."

"Daughter, come back with me," Vader told her through their link.

"I want to," Lita said sadly, "And I will, but not right now."

"Lita, it is your destiny," her father's voice said, "Come with me."

"I want to come back to you Father," Lita said genuinely, "But I need help and I have to do something first." Then their connection stopped. Lita frowns sadly she really did want to return to her father, but she also needed to find a way to save him from The Emperor or find someone who could help her.

A couple hours later, Lita, Rori and D3PO took a water speeder to the Lake Country. When they got there Lita smiled happily at the sight of home again as she and her companions made their way to Varykino Villa.

But when they got closer to the Lake Retreat, Lita froze with her eyes widen at what she saw. There was a squadron of stormtroopers and a couple of officers. Lita realized that her father must've left a garrison outside their home after taking her away the first time.

"Well that's just great. Now how am I going to get in?" Lita wonders.

"Pardon me for saying this Mistress Lita," Deethreepio spoke up nervously, "But don't you think it might be too dangerous to try and stay here. I'd suggest we go before we're spotted."

Lita looked at her protocol droid like he was crazy, "We're not leaving, not until we find our family."

Lita started creeping around her home to see if there was a way to get in without anyone spotting her. "I can't believe this is what I've been reduce to," Lita mutters, "Having to sneak around my own home."

"Mistress Lita," D3PO spoke up again, "I strongly suggest that we leave right now." But Lita ignored him.

"Lita," a familiar voice called out to her.

Hearing the sound of Qui-gon's voice got her attention, "Master?" Lita asked looking around.

"You must listen to your protocol droid and leave right now," Qui-gon's voice told her.

"But I can't Master," Lita said, "I have to make sure my family is okay."

"Lita if your father left a garrison at your home then wouldn't that mean your family is still alive," the voice of Qui-gon said.

"But that doesn't mean..." Lita started, but she didn't get to finish what she was saying as one of the officers spotted her and her companions.

The officer shouts, "Hey!"

When Lita sees the officer, she, Rori and Deethreepio ran to get away as stormtroopers and Imperial officers try to shoot at them. Lita ended up having to pull D-3PO with her as they were running, because he was not fast. As they were running to get away one of the stormtroopers then shot D-3PO causing damage to his circuits.

"Threepio!" Lita cried, cradling her droid in her arms. Lita was then shot in her shoulder and her gut by the same stromtrooper and she fell down with a cry of pain.

Rori growls in anger, and then she leaps out and kills the stormtrooper who shot her mistress. Another stormtrooper shot at Rori making the poor creature cry in pain.

"Rori!" Lita cried. She then force pushed the stormtrooper away, despite being injured herself. Lita then crawled over to Rori with D3PO and collapsed next to them as blood was flowing freely.

Lita saw three more stormtroopers approaching her but were caught by surprise by what looked like a Jedi wielding a green lightsaber, who did a huge flip in the air. Lita couldn't help but watch in awe as the Jedi was able to dodge and block the stormtroopers shooting at him with ease. He then cut them down with his lightsaber.

As the Jedi was approaching Lita and her companions, Lita's vision started getting blurry due to the loss of blood. When the Jedi got closer Lita saw he was a Kiffar and he had yellow tattoos on his face and left arm.

"Please," Lita said weakly, "Help us."

Before Lita fell unconscious she heard Kiffar Jedi say, "Hang on kid."

Until I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars show I didn't know of Quinlan Vos. After I saw the episode of him and learned more of him, I thought he was really cool, especially with him being different from the other Jedi. I also learned that he was one of the Jedi who escaped Order 66. May the Force be with You!
