The Youngest Skywalker

The Last Jedi

"Norah!...Nor, we have to go."

Norah felt hands behind her and knew it was her twin. Nodding numbly, she quickly grabbed what was left of their parents-their weapons and clothes-and ran to safety, not once looking back at the weapon.

She inwardly seethed at Finn's recklessness that had her parents killed, and felt even more angry at her cousin for joining the despicable First Order. She felt heartbroken and scared now that she was alone without her parents to guide her...But now, she had other things to deal with.

When they came in to the hiding place, Norah's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and so did her brother's.

There, with their aunt Leia and their younger siblings, partners in marriage, and Leela, was none other than their uncle Luke.

"I know what you're gonna say. I changed my hair." Leia said ruefully.

"It's nice that way. Leia, I'm sorry." Luke apologized.

"I know. I know you are. I'm just glad you're here at the end." Leia said.

"I came to face him, Leia. And I can't save him." Luke informed her.

"I held out hope for so long, but I know my son is gone." Leia lamented.

"No one's ever really gone." Luke said mysteriously. He kissed Leia's cheek and headed out, nodding to Norah and Anakin's shocked faces and to Threepio's "Master Luke!"

"I know you are angry and grieving for your parents, Norah. Just know that they will always be with you, and so will I." Luke said.

Norah didn't know what to say or do, and so she sobbed in her partner's arms while Anakin gently rubbed her back, grieving himself.

The sudden shots of the ATT-Walkers startled them out of their grieving, and they sensed that Kylo had ordered his men to fire at Luke.

"UNCLE LUKE!!! NO!!" Norah screamed in horror and began to race outside, but her brother held her back.

"No, Norah don't!" Alyssa exclaimed. She was very beautiful with caramel brown skin, dark curly hair and dark brown eyes, and she was a couple of years younger than Norah.

"Why shouldn't I?! That bastard of a cousin killed so many people! Lor-San Tekka and the villagers on Jakku! Uncle Han! Jessica! Aunt Lizzie! Aunt Kris, Uncle Ezra and our cousins! Now Mom and Dad! Who will he kill next?! Oh wait, he almost killed Aunt Leia!" Norah snarled.

"I know, Nor...but remember what caused him to become Kylo Ren! Snoke and Uncle Luke as well and Uncle Han and Aunt Leia all had a part in his descent into darkness! You want to isolate him even more?" Anakin countered.

"Why not? He's brought the galaxy into chaos by joining the damned First Order! Now we have no chance of hope because we're short on Resistance fighters! I say-!"

"BY THE GODDAMNED STARS IN THE GALAXY, WILL YOU STOP IT?!" Ahsoka screeched. "Use your head, sis! This is not going to help us, it's not going to help Mom and Dad, and it's certainly not going to help our chances if you keep raging!"

Norah blanched in shock at the strong words and sat down, obviously too drained with grief to say anything else.

"She's right, Nor. It's not worth it." Anakin said softly. "We can't let Mom and Dad's sacrifice for us be in vain."

"Uh, guys? You might wanna see what's going on out there." Leela pointed out.

Norah did look, and so did Anakin and the other Resistance fighters. The First Order had stopped firing. Through the iron red smoke, they saw that Luke had emerged from it and wiped the remaining dust from his robes, clearly unfazed.
