Although the Death Star has been destroyed, rumors that the Imperial heir Luke Palpatine and his twin sister, Leia, died in the attack have made the Rebellion the target not only of the Empire but of many who used to support their cause. Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their base on Yavin, forcing them into hiding wherever they can find refuge.Unaware of the chaos they have created in the galaxy, the the Palpatine twins are still very much alive and aboard the Millennium Falcon with smuggler Han Solo, on the run after a failed attempt by the twins to destroy Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Academy. The evil lord Darth Vader, also presumed dead in the Death Star attack, remains in the hands of Sola Soruna and her Rebel Alliance, held prisoner on their new base on the icy world of Hoth.Meanwhile, the surviving Jedi from Yavin race across the galaxy to reach their new home only to find that the Empire has gotten there first….(Image created from this manip by @preecher)“Me? Nah. A prince, a princess, and a guy like me? Wasn’t gonna happen.” Han gave her a grin that looked untroubled, then added. “Was fun while it lasted though.”This time when Leia smiled at him, it was a little more real. Smiling at him came easily, even now. “You’re giving up already? Must not have been that much fun.”Han raised an eyebrow. “Are you making an offer, Princess?”Was she? “Maybe.” She let her lips curve into a familiar smile, the one that hinted at promises and drew people to her side. If she were smart, she would be looking ahead: what use was a connection to a small-time smuggler to her in the long term? But something about the way he smirked at her made her want to forget about the long term entirely. Did Luke see the same thing in him?Luke. The truth was, part of her was recoiling from the very idea that Luke might have left her behind. It was unthinkable. Unacceptable.And yet… she’d grown up in his shadow. Despite being stronger, despite being smarter, despite being more ruthless, a fluke of birth order and her gender put him first. If he stood aside, even if only for a little while, this was her chance to stand in the light. Everything that had been Luke’s, she could make hers.Her smile softened as she turned her attention back to Han. Everything included him.“Maybe I am,” she repeated, and left her chair behind to slide into his lap. -- source link
