[It was true that Alderaan and Tatooine were polar opposites, and the twins had led very different lives before they once again crossed paths. Alderaan had its stunning architecture, rolling hills and soaring mountains, gem-blue lakes and lush forests - but to her, Tatooine was just as beautiful, with its golden dunes, blazing sunsets, and craggy canyons.]

[She tried to see Tatooine from Luke's perspective as well - how he wanted nothing but to fly away, to have a taste of adventure, to know that there was something greater than what people called this "backwater planet". He knew nothing but the Lars' and their life of farming, and the dog-eat-dog existence of those living under the shadow of the Hutts. On the other hand, Leia had always known that there was a galaxy out there that needed saving, and she had taken it upon herself to do so.]

[Different as their upbringings were, they had come together to fight for one cause - and Leia didn't think she could've done it without him.]

Well, you did. And if you didn't, we never would've gotten the plans for the Death Star and things wouldn't be what they are now. Maybe we'd still be fighting. Maybe there would be more planets gone, more people suffering.

[She reached to take Luke's hand, giving him a smile.]

I'm glad you decided to go with Ben. Not just because wouldn't have won the war without you, but - well, if you hadn't, I still wouldn't know you.
