Once they reached Tatooine they knew they could not just barge into Jabba's Palace. Luke remembered where Ben's old house was beyond the dune sea. They went there to change into clothing and armor that would disguise them.
Then Luke headed back to the Dagobah system while Leia and Lando headed for Jabba's palace. " Please Hurry back Luke. I don't want anything to happen to you too...by the way, is something wrong. You look so shocked and scared" asked Leia worried
" Its too much to tell right now. Maybe when I get back. Dont worry I will be fine." Luke reassured her and kissed her on the cheek.
Then he Left. Lando and Leia left as well, they finally reached Jabba's palace. Leia dressed as a Bounty Hunter, Lando just has a guard.
" I want Bounty for this Wookie, 1500-no less" she demanded once in front of Jabba. The great slug laughed. " Ho Ho, the mighty Chewbacca. 1200 no more." he replied " 1500 or I set of this detonator " said Leia
" ho ho, this guy is my kind of scum. 1500 it is." agreed Jabba. Night approached and Leia having seen Han in carbonite went snooping around to set him free.
She lowered him down from the wall and and lowered the freezing temperatures. It began to melt and he was awakened. " Where..where am I." asked Han. " Shh, your in Jabba's Palace" replied Leia through her mask, so she didn't sound like herself.
" Who, who are you?" asked Han. Leia removed the Helmet " someone who loves you very much" she replied in her beautiful voice.
They were caught though. Jabba and his servants were hiding and caught them. He locked Han up with Chewie. Jabba commanded that Leia be his slave girl. So his dancers took her and removed her clothing and put a skimpy metal bikini on her that would show any weapons if she dare grab one.
Then suddenly...someone unexpected arrived. It wasn't look just yet. Darth Vader and three storm troopers came through the palace entrance to speak with the Hutt. " The force has lead me here in search of young Skywalker" said Vader to Jabba.
" Get out, NO REPUBLIC HERE!" Jabba said angrily and pulled Leia towards him on a chain.
Vader was furious seeing his daughter being treated like an animal." Being part of the Republic or not, I know tatooine well and You don't want to mess with me HUTT! NOW WHERE IS THE YOUNG JEDI!" demanded Vader clearly very angry
" He's not here!"-Leia chimed in " And if he were Vader, I wouldn't let the Hutt tell you anyway!" said Leia annoyed.
" Mind your attitude, young Lady! You have no idea who your talking to" said Vader
" What do you mean I don't know who I am talking to! I have known you for years Vader. Your no different now, still the lap dog of the Emperor you have always been" she said and collapsed
Vader had seen enough. Luke wasn't here, his mind had been clouded. He returned to the Star Destroyer.
Luke made it back a fully fledged Jedi. With Trouble he rescued Han, Leia, Chewie and Lando. They set Jabba's house on fire, as Leia killed the Slug.
Then headed to a second rebel base on a moon called Endor. Han and Leia had time to catch up on the way there. " Well...that outfit is one worth keeping sweetheart. And if you don't mind me saying is my favorite one of all your clothes." said Han with a wink, referring to her skimpy bikini. " You should save it for our honeymoon when we get married. Of course...we wont need any clothes at all on that trip." he joked again.
" Very funny Han. And what makes you think I will ever be your little wife?" asked Leia not amused
" Lets say there is a force between us, I cant ignore" and he pulled her into a kiss that turned into a makeout session.
Once they reached Endor they went through the final stages of the rebellion. Which required destroying the second Death Star. Luke had a very important task to finish and something important to tell Leia.
He had trouble deciding how to tell her such big news. He was standing outside looking up at the stars in the tree-house of the little Ewoks that they all befriended. Leia came out to join him. " Okay Luke what is bothering you. Im your friend you can tell me." she said concerned like.
" Leia what do you remember of your mother" asked Luke. " Your birth mother?" " Not much, she died when I was a baby. I see visions of her sometimes. She was very beautiful, but always sad." answered Leia
" How about your father" asked Luke " I never knew my father, and I have never had any recollection of him" replied Leia " Luke why are you asking me this?" she said " I never knew my parents at all. But the force runs strong in my family, my father has it...and my sister has it." said Luke slowly looking up at Leia.
" Its you Leia. Your my twin sister" revealed Luke. " I..know. I think a part of me has always known." she said.
" This wont be easy for you to hear, but our father is alive." said Luke. " WHAT!-Well who is he?" asked Leia. Luke looked at her shaking his head " I said it wont be easy to hear, we both have met him" said Luke uneasy. Leia thought for a moment looking at her brother then her eyes got wide " No..NO..NO NO. It cant be." she screamed
" Yes. Vader is our father." revealed Luke in what had to be the biggest shock of Leia's life. The evil cyborg she has known forever, spent these last few years fighting to overthrow- IS her real Dad."
" There is still good in him. I know it. So don't judge him so harshly. That is why I have to go and face him." said Luke
" NO..Please" cried Leia " Run away...why do you have to kill him?" she sobbed
" Its either that or the Emperor kills me. But like I said , our Father still has good in him. He will turn." said Luke and headed to the Imperial base.
