Star Wars: Link to the Past

Epilogue

Peace was formed between the Empire and Alliance. Vader returned to Coruscant as the new Emperor and restored democracy from the inside. Luke formed the New Jedi Order with Master Yoda and other surviving Jedi coming out of hiding.

Firmus recovered from his wounds. Dooku's warning had been just enough to prevent the Emperor's attack from being fatal. Though he later learned from his father that he had been meant to die that day, and Dooku's interference had been met with the price of oblivion. The fallen Jedi no longer even existed anymore. In saving him, Dooku had destroyed himself completely, and he had done so willingly, fully aware of the punishment. The Count's sacrifice only strengthened Firmus' resolve in his choice to give his allegiance to the Lightside of the Force. He took on the surname of Jinn-Skywalker to honor his birth parents and strength both had shown in their lives.

Luke offered him a place in the Order, and eventually he accepted, following in his father's footsteps. Firmus eventually met and married a noblewoman from Serenno, Mira Whiwood, and they had two children, a son they named Tyln in honor of Dooku's sacrifice that had saved Firmus' life, and a daughter they named Shmi.

Vader took back his old name of Anakin and was often found in the company of family. Over the years he would assist in training some of the Jedi, especially his grandchildren, Jacen, Jiana, and Anakin Solo and Ben Skywalker, and his niece and nephew.

Though the New Republic faced many challenged, the Skywalkers and Solos were always there to run to its defense. Even long after the deaths of Anakin and Firmus, their descendants continued to protect democracy and honor their legacies.
