Star Wars: The Colors of the Force

Luke and Naluma have had a rough year, but their Force-bonded love has gotten them through the death of a student a few months earlier. However, Luke's worried about Naluma, who is trapped at the Jedi Academy with three dozen Padawan driving her crazy in the dead of winter.

He surprises her with a long-overdue vacation for just the two of them, the first one in the five years they've known each other. However, their idyllic love is tested when Luke refuses to give Naluma what she desperately desires: a child of their own.

When the Force gets involved, the couple learns that imposing the words of man on the will of the supreme power in the galaxy is never going to work--and the Force plays dirty when accomplishing its will. Luke and Naluma don't stand a chance.

This isn't going to go the way they think.
